Chapter 157 Differences of Opinions

That huge brown bear seemed to have marked Jing Hao's campsite as its own territory, dropping by whenever it felt like it to stage a "bear appearance."

On top of that, Jing Hao had never imagined that even combined, Alex and Shen Jinghe didn't have many tools on them at all!

Their small cabin was also far worse than the one he and Xu He had built previously, not only was it tiny, but wind leaked inside at night.

One night, the wind blew so hard that the fire Jing Hao lit outside the cabin was extinguished.

That abnormal brown bear, the one refusing to hibernate properly in a cave like a good bear during midwinter and instead preferring to wander around, actually strolled over and smashed Jing Hao's dilapidated hut to pieces with a single swipe of its paw.

Jing Hao almost wet his pants right then and there. Thankfully, he slept with his bear-repellent alarm clamped tightly in hand.

The high-decibel siren instantly drove the bear away.

Looking at the smashed roof, Jing Hao's final line of psychological defense completely collapsed.

The audience in the livestream room wasn't faring much better than he was.

[Fuck, that tank of a bear is here again! I'm getting scared to death right through the screen.]

[I really admire Jing Hao, seriously. He actually held out here for three days. If it were me, the second I saw that bear, I would've dropped everything and quit immediately. I have megalophobia; I really can't stand looking at a massive creature like that.]

[Although it's really dangerous, the person above is so funny, hahaha—'a tank of a bear.']

[Well, isn't it? Being that huge, it really is like a tank.]

[I feel like Jing Hao can just quit now. There's really no need for one person to keep grinding away here. At the end of the day, this is just a variety show, life is more important!]

How could Jing Hao not think the same way?

If he continued to stay here, no one could guarantee his safety.

He reignited the fire, wrapped himself in his sleeping bag, and stared blankly at the flames for a long time.

After a few minutes, Jing Hao finally made up his mind.

He dialed the production team's phone number and chose to withdraw.

While waiting for the production team's helicopter to arrive, Jing Hao silently began dismantling the campsite by himself.

This was a rule set by the production team: upon leaving, guests had to restore the area around the campsite as close to its original state as possible.

With the "assistance" of that big brown bear, dismantling the cabin was much easier for Jing Hao.

By the time he had finished tidying up most of it, the helicopter was almost there.

Looking back at the chaotic footprints he had left on the snow, Jing Hao wiped his face and looked directly into the camera lens.

The tip of his nose was red from the cold, and the rims of his eyes were slightly flushed too.

It wasn't just because of the freezing temperature, but also because his heart was filled with mixed emotions at this moment.

"During Season 1, I knew that many fans followed me because of this show, and before Season 2 even started filming, everyone showed such strong anticipation. But I'm so sorry to disappoint you all today. I didn't make it to the end. I'm truly, deeply sorry.

"As for myself, giving up like this on my own initiative leaves me feeling pretty unwilling deep down. But to be honest, today I was genuinely terrified, and right now I just want to go home. Maybe this performance isn't manly enough, but that's just the truth.

"I don't know how many people are watching the livestream right now, but thank you, thank you all for your support and company over these ten-plus days. Season 2 ends here for me. If there's an opportunity for Season 3, I'll still choose to take on the challenge once more. I'm sorry!"

[Sob sob, no need to apologize, Captain Jing! Anyone would be scared, you're already super amazing! Keep it up!]

[Right, being scared is basic human nature. That was a living, breathing bear! Plus, you were so sincere, we completely understand. We'll still continue to support you next season! You were just unlucky this time, that's all. Nobody can have smooth sailing forever.]

[Real men don't shed tears easily, don't be sad, Captain Jing. Go back early to see your wife and kid, they're still waiting for you at home. Safety comes first!]

[Safety comes first!]

[Safety comes first!]

Regrettably, Jing Hao exited the stage right here; Team 1 suffered a complete wipeout.

Their livestream room was also closed down after the helicopter carried Jing Hao away.

Originally, when the livestream was running, some viewers found it a bit dull watching Jing Hao by himself. But the moment the channel shut down, everyone suddenly felt an empty, reluctant feeling in their hearts.

Some viewers even began flaming the production team, feeling that the show was being unfair and had failed to protect the guests' physical safety.

However, even more viewers refuted that point:

First of all, this was inherently a wilderness survival show. Encroaching upon wild animals was always a possibility in the wild. The production team didn't forbid guests from withdrawing, nor did they sign a life-or-death waiver with them; after receiving a guest's emergency call, they dispatched a helicopter to retrieve the guest in the shortest time possible.

Furthermore, regarding the point about fairness:

This was Jing Hao's own choice. If he hadn't chosen to use the tool card, or if he hadn't randomly drawn Shen Jinghe's team during the selection, he wouldn't have encountered the brown bear in the first place.

With Jing Hao's withdrawal, the show was once again pushed onto the trending searches, with topic popularity reaching the top spot overnight once more.

Upon leaving the snow mountain and receiving his phone, Jing Hao also issued a sincere response at the first opportunity.

This wave yielded a win-win result for both Jing Hao and the production team, as both gained increased attention.

Meanwhile, the second round of voting was coming to a close.

Following Jing Hao's withdrawal, his ranking was firmly locked in last place.

Shen Jingchuan and Shen Jinghe remained in second-to-last place.

However, the rankings for first and second place underwent a shift at this point.

Originally, the team ranking first in the vote was Wen Yan and Jiang Wanwan's team. But as hunting difficulty increased, their vote count was rapidly overtaken by Yin Haoyu and Qin Yan's team.

That was because Yin Haoyu's luck had completely off-the-charts blown up.

Right at the juncture where heavy snow sealed off the mountain and made walking virtually impossible, he actually stumbled upon a moose that had died from injuries in the wild while out patrolling.

A moose was massive in size. Finding such a fresh animal carcass meant that let alone thirty days, they wouldn't have to worry about food even if they stayed in these snow mountains for three whole months.

However, Yin Haoyu couldn't drag such a huge moose all by himself.

Therefore, after discovering the carcass, he immediately called Qin Yan over from not far away.

When Qin Yan heard that he had found something good, she became excited as well.

To tell the truth, in the beginning, she still wasn't used to the process of having to hunt for herself, she couldn't even bring herself to handle gutting a fish.

But later on, her stomach became so ravenously hungry that she reconciled with herself.

Right now, in her eyes, this moose carcass could only be seen as food.

However, regarding how to handle the moose carcass, a difference of opinion arose between Qin Yan and Yin Haoyu.

It was already getting late, and the sun set extremely quickly during this season.

Yin Haoyu just so happened to have brought an axe and rope when he came out.

He looked around his surroundings and said to Qin Yan, "Let's go chop down a few trees to make a sled. Otherwise, we won't be able to haul a big guy like this back. It's getting dark fast, so we must hurry."

Qin Yan, however, had her own perspective: "I feel like maybe we should just chop a few branches to cover and hide this deer for now, instead of hauling it back."
