After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder

After lunch, Qu Qingdai and her group of six did not stay in the tent prepared for them by the program team to rest. Instead, they specially marked out an open space in the middle of the six tents. Then the group sat together and began to seriously discuss how to get dinner.

"My friends, tonight's dinner will mark the beginning of our first head-on confrontation with the Guardians! What combat strategy do you think we should adopt?" Tan Changqing said seriously, his eyes revealing the importance he attached to this challenge.

"Well, I think we can split the troops into two groups and distribute them in a ratio of 30:30. One team will get vegetables, and the other team will get meat. What do you think?" Chao Yan touched his chin with his hand and fell into deep thought. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he was trying hard to think of the best plan.

"We only have two hours left, and we have no idea about the road conditions or the exact number of guards. If we act separately under such circumstances, wouldn't it be too risky? We might not get either of them." Lin Zhirou frowned slightly and said with a hint of worry in her tone.

"What you said does make sense. If we can't get both, we won't have anything to eat tonight. This is something we really need to consider carefully." As Bai Ren spoke, he scratched his head with his hand, a pensive expression on his face.

"I think we should proceed in a 3:3 split. If it's the first time, the production team shouldn't be so cruel as to let us go home empty-handed..." Qin Yunie blinked and said with a hint of expectation in her tone.

"Yune, don't think too highly of the program crew. Maybe they are really capable of doing such a thing!" Bai Ren said with a frown, his tone full of seriousness.

"Ah...it can't be that extreme!" Qin Yunie widened his eyes, a look of surprise on his face.

"Qingdai, what do you think?" Tan Changqing turned his gaze to Qu Qingdai, who had been silent all the time, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Qu Qingdai frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "I think we should proceed in a three-on-three split. Let's go find out the specific situation first. However, just in case, if we see edible fruits and vegetables on the way, we can pick some. Didn't the director say there are a lot of fruits in this mountain? Anyway, after two hours, it will only be a little after four o'clock. If we don't get any food by then, we still have time to go to the beach to look for shellfish."

"Well, it seems that this is quite appropriate. Let's decide it this way. What do you think?" Tan Changqing said to everyone.

"can!"

"I don't have any problem either!"

"OK."

……

"Okay, then let's divide into groups. You three girls will go to the vegetables, and we boys will go to the meat. Is that okay?" Chaoyan suggested seriously.

"Yes, no problem." Qu Qingdai answered without hesitation.

"Yeah, okay." The other two girls also agreed.

"How about this, I'll give you a backpack. If you see any edible fruits and vegetables, just pick them and put them in the bag." Qu Qingdai said as she handed the backpacks to the boys.

"No problem, then let's take a rest first and set off on time at two o'clock." Tan Changqing said after looking at his watch.

"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices full of anticipation and enthusiasm.

Seeing everyone heading towards their own tents to rest, Lin Zhirou slowly approached Qu Qingdai's tent. She took a deep breath, mentally cheered herself up, and then whispered, "Qingdai, are you busy in the tent? Can you come out for a moment? I have something to tell you."

After a while, Qu Qingdai came out of the tent. She looked at Lin Zhirou with a hint of doubt in her eyes. In fact, after spending some time together, her feelings towards Lin Zhirou were completely different from when they first met. Back then, she didn't hate Lin Zhirou, but she also disliked her. But now, she was very calm, just looking at Lin Zhirou quietly, waiting for her to speak.

"I... I..." Lin Zhirou lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Qu Qingdai's eyes. There was a tremor in her voice. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry for what I did before and for my attitude towards you. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry..." Lin Zhirou kept apologizing to Qu Qingdai as she spoke. Her voice was full of self-blame and regret.

"Alas..." Qu Qingdai sighed slightly as she looked at Lin Zhirou, a trace of pity welling up in her heart. She felt that the person in front of her was actually a pitiful person, and after thinking about it carefully, she didn't do anything too extreme. So, she gently placed her hand on Lin Zhirou's shoulder and said softly, "It's okay, I have forgiven you. Let the past be the past. It's more important for us to participate in this last episode of the variety show well."

Lin Zhirou slowly raised her head, tears welling in her eyes. She looked at Qu Qingdai and said with a choked voice, "Thank you, Qingdai. Thank you so much. I know my previous behavior was excessive. I will cherish your forgiveness this time and will definitely change for the better in the future. I will also work hard to perform well with everyone in this final episode of the variety show and live up to your tolerance and trust."

"Okay, stop crying and go to rest soon." Qu Qingdai said gently, and at the same time reached out to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of Lin Zhirou's eyes.

Lin Zhirou nodded slightly, with a hint of tears in her voice, and said, "Yes, then Qingdai, you should also have a good rest. We will meet again later."

"Okay!" Qu Qingdai responded with a smile, her eyes full of concern and warmth.

Lin Zhirou turned and walked towards her tent, each step carrying a hint of nostalgia and reluctance. Qu Qingdai stood there, watching Lin Zhirou's departing figure, her heart filled with emotion. She knew that from this moment on, their relationship might undergo some new changes, and she hoped that these changes would lead to greater unity and hard work for everyone in this final episode of the variety show.

Qin Yunie was in the tent, her eyes fixed on the conversation between Lin Zhirou and Qu Qingdai. She was terribly anxious because, in the livestream she'd watched, Lin Zhirou's attitude towards Qu Qingdai had been far from positive. She worried that Lin Zhirou might do something to harm Qu Qingdai, but she couldn't leave rashly. She could only sit there anxiously, her heart racing like countless ants.

After a while, Lin Zhirou finally left. Qin Yunie could no longer suppress her inner urge and hurried to Qu Qingdai's tent. She looked at Qu Qingdai nervously and said, "Daidai, why did Lin Zhirou look for you? Is she planning to do something bad again?"

Qu Qingdai smiled slightly and said, "No, you misunderstood her. She came to apologize."

"Apologize? What are you apologizing for?" Qin Yunie frowned even tighter, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"For their attitude and behavior towards me in the previous show." Qu Qingdai explained patiently.

"Tsk, what a hindsight! Why didn't you do that before?" Qin Yunie curled his lips in disdain, his mouth pouting high, his face full of dissatisfaction and anger.

"Okay, I don't mind. Don't be angry. Just participate in this variety show well." Qu Qingdai gently comforted Qin Yunie.

"Okay... then I'll rest here with you now!" Qin Yunie said reluctantly.

"Okay~" Qu Qingdai said lovingly, reaching out to touch Qin Yunie's head.

Although Qu Qingdai was somewhat puzzled as to why Qin Yunie was so close to her, she could truly feel Qin Yunie's care and love for her. This feeling of closeness made her feel as if she had gained a caring little sister, and she enjoyed it very much. She cherished every moment with Qin Yunie and cherished this rare friendship.

In a blink of an eye, the clock struck two o'clock, and both teams were fully prepared and ready to go in high spirits.

"Then let's each head towards different hills!" Tan Changqing said loudly, his voice full of determination and confidence.

"Okay, everyone must be careful!" Qu Qingdai warned solemnly.

"Okay, come on! We can do it!"

"come on!"

Afterwards, the two teams took firm steps towards the opposite sides. They were about to engage in a fierce battle for food with the defenders. This battle concerned their dinner, and they were ready to go all out.

"Daidai, what should we do next?" Qin Yunie asked anxiously, her brows tightly furrowed, her eyes full of confusion and worry.

By this time, they had reached the mountainside. The three of them crouched cautiously in the grass, their heads adorned with handmade grass wreaths, trying to blend in with their surroundings. Hidden in the dense undergrowth, they nervously watched the guards patrolling the trail.

They had never imagined encountering these guardians halfway up the mountain. They'd assumed they'd only encounter them at the summit, but reality had given them a surprising surprise. As expected, free food isn't easy to come by. The appearance of these guardians made their once confident plans even more challenging.

"Alas, it seems the main road is blocked." Qu Qingdai frowned slightly, carefully observing the patrol route of the guards and said helplessly, "They are patrolling back and forth on the road we must pass through with full vigilance. We have no choice but to find another way and go around the mountain."

"If we don't take the main road, wouldn't it be a long way to go around? Will we have enough time?" Lin Zhirou bit her lower lip lightly and expressed her concerns in a soft voice.

"Let me see, um..." Qu Qingdai raised her wrist and looked at her watch intently. "Twenty minutes have already passed. We are indeed a bit slow in walking here. If we speed up, we may still make it in time. But we know nothing about the situation on the top of the mountain, nor do we know how many guards there are. If there are too many people, it may take a lot of time to get the food."

"Indeed, time is really running out." Qin Yunie's face was full of worry, and he continued anxiously, "But if we are exposed now, we will be detained for another ten minutes. In that case, I'm afraid we will be even less likely to escape in time."

"Then let's take a detour to avoid these guards, and then speed up to go up the mountain. This is the best strategy." Qu Qingdai said solemnly after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, let's decide it this way. Let's take action quickly." Qin Yunie nodded in agreement, with a determined look on his face.

"Yeah!" Lin Zhirou also nodded in response.

Qu Qingdai lowered her body, her eyes fixed on the patrolling guards. Her brows furrowed slightly, her expression focused and tense. She gently gestured to Qin Yunie and Lin Zhirou, signaling them to follow her closely.

Qin Yunie pursed her lips, a look of determination in her eyes. She moved cautiously, each step so light it made almost no sound. Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, but she didn't dare to reach out and wipe them. As she moved, she whispered, "Be careful! We mustn't get caught."

Lin Zhirou was trembling with nervousness. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to remain calm. She followed Qu Qingdai and Qin Yunie closely, glancing at the guards from time to time, fearing discovery. Her voice trembled slightly, "I'm so nervous, I feel like my heart is about to burst out."
