CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 389: YOU THINK I’M A BIG FOOL, HUH?

After speaking, Sang Ning grabbed Qin Feng’s collar with one hand and forcefully pushed his shoulder with the other.

Qin Feng, being a tall guy over 1.8 meters, was actually spun around in place by Sang Ning’s push.

As he turned around, his hands were also twisted behind his back by Sang Ning.

Qin Feng, of course, didn’t believe that Sang Ning would be so kind as to voluntarily give them supplies. He struggled a bit to show his protest: "Don’t even think about it..."

"Shut up!" Sang Ning forcefully interrupted what Qin Feng was about to say by giving him a hard push from behind.

Sang Ning took out a prepared vine and wrapped it around Qin Feng’s wrists.

Then, like escorting a prisoner, she urged Qin Feng to walk forward from behind.

Hu Yirun, seeing their ally controlled, turned around to run, but was violently subdued by Huang Chengzi.

Like Qin Feng, his hands were also twisted behind his back, bound with a thick vine, unable to move.

Pushed forward step by step, Qin Feng couldn’t help but curse, but all he got was Sang Ning’s violent push, forcibly interrupting his attempts at profanity.

"You ba..." stard

"Bast..." ard

Time and again, his venting words were left incomplete. Qin Feng felt the fury in his body turn into tiny pebbles piling up in his chest.

Until his chest was so full it was about to explode, a simple, crude "damn" burst out heavily.

Having vented a bit of his resentment, Qin Feng finally felt a little better, but it was met with an elbow strike from Sang Ning: "The cameras are still watching, please act civilized."

Well, the pebbles he’d just shaken loose filled his chest once more, and Qin Feng, furious, felt like spitting blood.

Who’s the uncivil one here? This grudge is settled!

Qin Feng and Hu Yirun were forced back to the riverbank, but this time as laborers.

Sang Ning’s promise to give them supplies was true, but they had to handle it themselves.

The group returned to the riverbank, but Wei Lejun was nowhere to be seen.

Huang Chengzi kept looking back, but after waiting for a while, still saw no one.

So she walked over to Sang Ning, worriedly saying, "Sang Ning, could something have happened to Lejun? Should I go and look for her?"

Sang Ning was not worried, as each participant had a dedicated drone following them, and if Wei Lejun did run into any trouble in the jungle, the production team would send rescue immediately.

However, since they were teammates and got separated while capturing someone, Sang Ning understood Huang Chengzi’s feelings.

She gently patted Huang Chengzi’s shoulder, softly saying, "Don’t worry, the crew is watching, nothing will go wrong. Let’s wait ten more minutes, and if she still hasn’t shown up, we’ll go together to find her."

Huang Chengzi’s anxiety was soothed a bit, and she nodded slightly, with her lips pressed together: "Alright."

At that moment, Wei Lejun, who others worried over, was wrestling with someone.

Upon closer inspection, the person grappling with Wei Lejun was precisely Lian Qi, who had secretly run away.

Let’s rewind to twenty minutes ago.

Wei Lejun had been chasing after the escaping figures of Qin Feng and Hu Yirun, only to lose sight of them for a few seconds when she passed a denser thicket.

But it was just a few seconds, and after she passed through the thicket, the two figures were nowhere to be seen.

Coincidentally, this thicket was at a fork in the road, and Wei Lejun had to pick a path based on her instincts, inadvertently veering off course, encountering no other participants on the way.

Just as she thought about retracing her steps, someone yanked her hard from the side.

When she steadied herself and looked up, she found it was Lian Qi, who had just snuck away.

Wei Lejun raised her hand, intending to slap Lian Qi, but right as the slap was about to land, Lian Qi caught her wrist.

"Shh!" Lian Qi put a finger to her lips.

Just then, Wei Lejun’s other free hand accurately swung at Lian Qi again, but Lian Qi ducked his head to avoid it.

"Why are you hitting me? I’m here to take you away!" After dodging Wei Lejun’s slap, Lian Qi reemerged, loudly complaining to her.

Wei Lejun stopped attacking, but snorted coldly: "Can you ever speak the truth?"

Lian Qi released Wei Lejun and swore to the heavens: "I swear by the heavens above, I’m not lying this time. I owe you a first place finish; I’ll definitely help you get it this time!"

"How?" Wei Lejun sized Lian Qi up and down; he was empty-handed, making her sarcasm even more pronounced, "With your mouth?"

"Heh." Lian Qi smirked with his mouth askew, lifting his chin slightly, with an expression that said, "See, you don’t get it?"

He then sneakily slipped into the nearby thicket, grabbed something, and pulled it out with a tug; a large folding basin appeared before Wei Lejun.

Wei Lejun: ...

Ignoring Wei Lejun’s look of disbelief, Lian Qi unfolded the basin by securing its legs on the ground, pressing down hard in the middle, until it was fully open.

Then, he sat cross-legged inside, scooted back to brace himself against the basin’s back, pointed at the empty space in front, and looked up at Wei Lejun with a slight smile: "See, there’s enough space for you too. Why don’t you try?"

Wei Lejun lifted her leg and kicked the folding basin hard, intending to flip both it and Lian Qi over, but he sat steadily within it; over a hundred pounds isn’t easily toppled, leaving her toes slightly aching.

"Are you crazy or am I an idiot? With such a weight difference, if we sit like this, we’ll flip before we even start paddling!"

"Do you want to take me along, or run off with me!"

Wei Lejun yelled at Lian Qi. Unable to kick the basin over, she kicked his shoulder instead.

Luckily, this time she finally got Lian Qi to topple over.

After a surprised yelp, Lian Qi clambered up awkwardly from the ground. Wei Lejun expected a fight to ensue.

But Lian Qi remained unusually calm, his eyes slightly widened and clear: "So! We just need to attach a base to this basin, right?"

"A base?" Wei Lejun raised a brow, questioning.

"Yeah!" Lian Qi clapped his hands, excitedly explaining, "You guys had some half-finished pieces, right? Just sneak a bit, fasten the corners, and theoretically we can paddle away without issues."

Afraid Wei Lejun wouldn’t understand, Lian Qi illustrated his idea in the dirt with a thin stick.

As he focused on drawing, Wei Lejun’s back teeth clenched gradually, her fists slowly tightened, then she launched a punch at Lian Qi: "You really think I’m a sucker, huh?"
