Chapter 156: I Don't Want to Hear Bad News

While the netizens were busy analyzing the situation, Shen Jingchuan and Shen Jinghe also conducted a thorough inspection of the campsite, inside and out.

In the end, both reached the exact same conclusion:

No wonder Jing Hao had used that Camp Swap tool card!

Aside from having a slightly better cabin, this place made survival practically impossible in every other aspect.

After exchanging a look, Shen Jingchuan finally couldn't hold back from asking Shen Jinghe, "What about your tool card? What is it? Why don't you pull it out and use it too?"

Shen Jinghe's answer consisted of just three words: "I don't know."

*Don't know?* Shen Jingchuan was instantly ignited. "If you don't want to use it with me, just say so. What's with 'I don't know'? Do you think I'm blind? I saw you open it with my own eyes back then. Don't tell me it was written in alien text and you couldn't read it."

"..." Shen Jinghe's entire face read utter speechlessness.

It wasn't until he reached into his pocket and pulled out a white ball, holding it out in front of Shen Jingchuan, that the truth was revealed.

Shen Jingchuan was instantly struck dumb, too.

Holy crap, Shen Jinghe's tool card was completely blank, without a single word on it.

"What on earth is this? You can even get ones like this? This production team is truly a dog."

Shen Jingchuan tossed the ball back to Shen Jinghe and laid down on what used to be Xu He's bunk.

Pillow-ing his head with his arm, he let out a long, comfortable sigh.

"Credit where credit's due, this house is pretty nice. At long last, I can actually stretch my legs straight."

Shen Jinghe noted, "Except there's only one sleeping bag here. Xu He probably took his with him when he withdrew."

Shen Jingchuan had a choice word in mind, wondering whether he should say it out loud or not.

"So we can only stay here then. Without a sleeping bag, how the hell are we supposed to migrate? I'm exhausted; I just want to give up and rot."

"Then lie there."

With that, Shen Jinghe turned and left the small cabin.

Shen Jingchuan opened his mouth, ready to ask where he was going, but on second thought, he felt doing so would make him seem overly clingy, so he simply shut his mouth.

It had been a long time since Shen Jingchuan had stretched his body out so comfortably, and within moments, he drifted off to sleep.

When he woke up, he discovered Shen Jinghe sitting on the other bunk, staring right at him.

Although startled, Shen Jingchuan was too embarrassed to let it show on his face.

"What are you looking at me like that for? Couldn't you make a sound or something?"

The expression on Shen Jinghe's face was somewhat grave. "Bad news…"

"I don't want to hear bad news."

Shen Jinghe: "..." ‘You're going to hear it whether you want to or not.’

He hadn't even finished his sentence before being interrupted by this guy.

"The lack of tools wasn't the fundamental reason Jing Hao chose to swap camps."

"So that means there's no food, huh?"

"Correct."

"Could it just be that you guys are useless and can't find any food?" Shen Jingchuan sat up slowly from the bunk, brimming with confidence.

Shen Jinghe glanced at him. "I've only walked around the area for less than half a day, but Jing Hao was here for over ten days. Talking big like that, aren't you afraid of getting slapped hard in the face later?"

"Then let's wait and see! It's your turn to guard the camp now. Let's see whose face gets slapped in a few hours!"

Shen Jinghe chuckled softly, remaining silent. *Heh, boastful talk.*

Shen Jingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly. ‘Hmph, looking down on me? Just you wait.’

Bullet Comments:

[Ahhh, kill me, kill me! Both brothers are killing me! How is one handsomer than the other? One is cold and aloof, while the other is cool and rebellious. What should I do? Can I have Shen Jinghe on Mon/Wed/Fri and Alex on Tue/Thu/Sat?]

[I don't like Alex! Don't like the way he talks! Who does he think he is? Why isn't Shen Jinghe mad? He should just go solo and stop hanging out with this Alex.]

[Get lost! I don't like your Shen Jinghe either! Alex is just being authentic, he just doesn't know how to fake it!]

[These two groups of fans are giving me an eye ache again. Family, who gets it? I just love watching face-slapping plots! Hahaha, though to be fair, I'm backing Shen Jinghe on this one.]

[Me too, because I watched all of Jing Hao's previous streams. There's genuinely no food to be found here. It'd be a miracle if Alex could find anything.]

[Haha, don't speak so definitively just yet. What if Alex actually brings back something to eat?]

A few hours later, Shen Jingchuan finally returned.

In front of Shen Jinghe, he dropped a roll of some unknown material.

Shen Jinghe looked utterly bewildered. "What's this?"

Shen Jingchuan licked his back teeth and bit the bullet to explain, "Tree bark! Don't tell me you don't even know what this is?"

Shen Jinghe raised an eyebrow. "So this is the food you found?"

"Yeah. Some tree barks are edible. Didn't you do any homework before coming to this show?"

"Then I'll leave it all to you. I'm not eating it."

"Heh, coward."

"Right, I'm a coward. From today on, you're the brave warrior."

"Then go ahead and starve."

"I advise you not to eat it either. When it gets light tomorrow, we can check deeper in the woods."

"Heh," Shen Jingchuan looked at Shen Jinghe and let out a light laugh. "To put it plainly, you just don't trust me. You don't believe the bark I brought back is actually edible, and you think I'm just throwing a tantrum."

Shen Jinghe also met Shen Jingchuan's gaze seriously. "Is that not the case?"

"Of course not," Shen Jingchuan answered with absolute seriousness. "Believe it or not."

With that, Shen Jingchuan quickly walked out of the small cabin.

By the time Shen Jinghe walked out as well, Shen Jingchuan was already boiling melted snow.

Neither of them spoke another word.

However, once the bark was finished boiling, Shen Jinghe silently sat over and scooped up a piece.

The taste was a bit strange, but as it went down, it provided a very real sense of fullness.

At this point, the bullet comments became heavily polarized:

[Alex is being way too willful! Don't eat it, don't eat it, don't eat it! My fingers are tired from typing those three words! Why is Shen Jinghe eating it with him now too?]

[Alex is so selfish! How could he eat tree bark just out of spite? What if it's poisonous?]

[Uh... certain types of tree bark are indeed edible, okay? Why can't you guys just trust Alex?]

[Exactly! Even Shen Jinghe ultimately chose to trust him. I really feel like Shen Jinghe is sharp-tongued with a heart of gold. He looks cold on the outside, but he actually takes really good care of his teammate.]

[Sob, sob... Brother He has actually always respected his teammates. If I were Alex right now, I'd be super moved.]

As for being moved or anything like that, Shen Jingchuan on site certainly didn't feel it at the moment.

It wasn't as if he had cooked poison, nor was Shen Jinghe eating it despite knowing it was toxic.

He really had done his research before coming: the bark of this specific tree species was indeed edible!

It was just that one certainly couldn't rely solely on this single item for long periods, that was all.

However, Shen Jinghe's performance did catch him somewhat off guard.

In his memory, Shen Jinghe had always been an extremely awkward and tsundere person.

Yet, after living together these past few days, it seemed that wasn't entirely the case after all!

---

Regardless of whether it was their tree bark or the smoked fish from Wen Yan's team, they at least managed to get something warm into their bellies.

JingHao, on the other hand, was in miserable shape. After finally catching a fish with great effort, he was actually targeted by a bear.

For the sake of his own life, he had no choice but to abandon the hard-won fish.

Yet who could have foreseen that after devouring his spoils, the bear would actually chase him all the way back to his campsite!
