Shen Ruoyun picked up a stick from the ground with one hand and held a knife in the other, her eyes sharp.

The small body slowly retreated, and it looked like it would only be a second before it appeared.

The sound grew closer, and Shen Ruoyun's knuckles tightened.

The bushes shook violently a few times, and it looked like the thing was about to burst out of them.

Their breathing quickened instantly, and they kept backing away.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous. If I were to encounter a black bear or something similar, I'd probably have to open my heart and soul to it on the spot.

Shen Ruoyun's mind worked quickly; she had already planned out her escape route.

At worst, let the other party eat the cameraman first, and then I'll run away.

However, at that moment, a dark figure suddenly darted out from inside.

Shen Ruoyun raised the stick, intending to launch a surprise attack first.

Just as the stick was only 0.1 millimeters away from the opponent, Shen Ruoyun hurriedly withdrew a blunt weapon.

As expected, the other party was not a ferocious beast, but a person.

Oh no… it’s one person.

The man was filthy, his hair was a mess like a bird's nest, and his eyes showed both exhaustion and surprise.

"Brother, we've finally found someone!" he shouted as he ran towards Shen Ruoyun.

Shen Ruoyun's tense nerves relaxed a little, and she dropped the stick in her hand. "Are you also a guest on the show?"

"Yes, my name is Li Zhe, and I've been lost for a long time."

Li Zhe limped over to Shen Ruojun, plopped down, and panted heavily.

Shen Ruoyun secretly sized up the other person, whose face was weathered and tired, whose eyes were dull and lifeless, and whose complexion was sallow.

At first glance, they look just like African refugees.

Shen Ruojun never expected that there would be someone even worse off than him.

"Brother, do you have anything to eat? I'm starving." Li Zhe looked at Shen Ruoyun pitifully.

Seeing how pitiful he was, Shen Ruoyun couldn't help but speak up, "I don't have much food here either, all that's left are banana hearts."

Li Zhe's eyes lit up. "Banana core? You can eat that stuff?"

Shen Ruojun was surprised that the other party, who came to participate in this program, didn't even have this kind of common sense.

He took a banana heart out of the fishing tool and handed it to Li Zhe, saying, "You can eat it."

Li Zhe had no reason to question it anymore. He took it and wolfed it down, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Looking at him, Shen Ruoyun couldn't help but ask, "Have you not eaten anything for the past few days?"

Li Zhe mumbled between bites, "I've only eaten a few wild fruits since the first day I came here."

Turns out that stuff was poisonous; after eating it, I almost had diarrhea to the point of collapse.

At this point, Li Zhe felt like he was about to shatter.

Good heavens! There are people like this? Opening fruit blind boxes in the rainforest? You'd be lucky to escape with your life.

Shen Ruoyun squatted down directly in front of Li Zhe and couldn't help but ask, "Why would you participate in this program if you're like this?"

Judging from Li Zhe's appearance, he completely lacks any basic knowledge of wilderness survival. Coming to this show is no different from sending himself to his death.

Li Zhe swallowed the last bite of banana kernel, and suddenly grief welled up in his heart, causing him to choke out.

"It's a long story. I was young and didn't know any better."

Shen Ruojun was somewhat confused. No matter how big a mistake one made, one shouldn't be exiled here.

"So what exactly did you do wrong? Couldn't you have talked to your parents about it?"

Judging from Li Zhe's face, he clearly had never experienced hardship. Coupled with his somewhat foolish eyes, it's likely that his elders spoiled him.

Li Zhe smacked his lips, still savoring the taste of the banana heart from earlier.

"Didn't I secretly take money from my family to start a business?"

"It's a good thing that young people are ambitious!" Shen Ruoyun didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"And then what? You failed in your business and were sent here?"

Upon hearing his words, Li Zhe began shaking his head frantically, "No, I almost got in."

Shen Ruoyun: "???"

"Are you involved in financial fraud? Or pyramid schemes?" Shen Ruoyun immediately sat down cross-legged, her face full of gossip.

"No, how could that be? I'm a model socialist youth! Born under the red flag, raised in the spring breeze..."

“Okay… first tell me what kind of business you started.” Shen Ruoyun quickly interrupted him.

"Set up a fake police station."

Shen Ruoyun: "...", you're a fucking genius.

Shen Ruoyun's mouth twitched a few times before she said, "So you took the money?"

"How could that be? How could I accept money for serving the people! My childhood dream has been to become a people's police officer."

"Then why don't you just take the exam?" Shen Ruoyun was a little speechless; this was too bizarre.

"I won't pass the exam."

Shen Ruoyun: "..." Damn it, that actually makes some sense.

"Let me tell you, when I was the police chief, I was extremely diligent and conscientious."

From helping an elderly person find their dog to helping an eight-year-old find their stolen New Year's money, they are willing to do any dirty or tiring job.

I even led my thugs to beat up the hooligans who were collecting protection money.

"and then?"

"Then I was arrested by the police for fighting." Li Zhe lowered his head, looking dejected.

Shen Ruoyun was truly astonished. You might say this guy is stupid, but he actually dared to open a police station.

It can only be said that art comes from life...

"And then you were sent here? That makes sense."

"No, after I was redeemed, my family punished me by making me clean the house every day and then face the wall to reflect on my mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruoyun suddenly realized that her parents had been too harsh on her.

If Shen Ruoyun were to do something like that, Ms. Yang Qingtan would probably beat his ass to a pulp.

However, at this moment, Li Zhe spoke up again, "I have also deeply realized my mistakes, and I am diligently cleaning the house every day to reflect on myself."

Hearing his sincere narrative style, Shen Ruoyun also cast an admiring glance at the young man.

"But... when I'm cleaning."

Li Zhe couldn't help but lick his palm, his expression still a bit dejected, "I accidentally broke my grandma's urn."

Shen Ruoyun: "..." Just how much trouble can one person cause?
