Chapter 2337: Chapter 1308-2
Lai Chuanyu wasn’t as happy this time, slowed down a bit, and got overtaken.
Behind him was Liang Sisi; they formed a team.
The couple formed another team; it seemed like they weren’t competing fiercely.
Every task was the same; they were quite transparent and coincidentally completed the challenges.
Among all groups, this couple was ordinary but never fell to last place.
Among them were amateurs and a few celebrities; through several reality shows, celebrities didn’t necessarily have more fans than amateurs.
Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou were always the highlight of every live broadcast; their appearance attracted many viewers.
The director noticed the number of viewers in the livestream room growing from over ten thousand to several hundred thousand, gradually increasing.
It seemed like money was rolling in.
They were already full, so the director distributed items to them, including essential climbing equipment, along with biscuits, mineral water, and portable medical supplies.
During the ascent, they tied ropes around themselves and used hooks. Not only did they need to steady their bodies, they also required climbing equipment.
Although they climbed an iron ladder with steps, it was quite slippery and dangerous, with a direct path posing many risks and challenges.
...
There was only one section of the climbing ladder; they went in groups. Besides tying themselves, they also assisted their companions. However, if both were unstable, they might fall together.
Fortunately, the director’s team had arranged a helicopter, ready to provide safety measures in case of danger during the climb.
The climbing wasn’t determined by drawing lots; their abilities were already demonstrated, and the stronger individuals led the groups behind.
This arrangement provided others with a safer approach.
Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou became the last group; this climb was not for competition.
They were merely experiencing the dangers of the mountain climb in this show.
Of course, if it wasn’t for experiencing it, allowing viewers to see this dangerous process.
Some in the livestream room asked, "Since there are ladders, how dangerous can it be?"
Yet, for real climbers facing perilous mountains without equipment as complete, nor stable ladders.
Are their rock climbing hobbies not even more hazardous?
No one among the guests anticipated that Fang Zizhou, a fan of singing and dancing, was originally a parkour enthusiast who loved climbing and canyoning.
Ye Qingning thought her companion would hold her back, but unexpectedly Fang Zizhou was much stronger than the previous group.
He didn’t slow her down; while climbing with Fang Zizhou, he subtly helped her along.
Although Ye Qingning wasn’t deeply trained as a Martial Artist, she had practiced since childhood. While she hadn’t done much climbing, she wasn’t afraid either.
Young people love thrills, and Ye Qingning was no exception, liking racing and participating in it.
The other couple held the second position; they were relatively older, and concerns about their stamina were evident.
Next was Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu’s group; among the four groups, they seemed to be the weakest.
They moved very slowly; due to their sluggish pace, Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou, who were behind them, often paused to enjoy the scenery from the ladder.
Although Fang Zizhou’s group climbed quite smoothly, being landlords made the icy ladder even more challenging, as their footsteps occasionally slipped on the fresh snow.
Their speed wasn’t particularly fast either.
Those behind faced difficulties too, but once someone above tread the ladder, it wasn’t as slippery when they climbed.
The Liang couple appeared less flamboyant; under everyone’s gaze, they seemed to have trouble.
They didn’t step on previous footprints, causing snow from the ladder to fall below, creating more challenges for those beneath.
Those below didn’t look up; they focused solely on their footing, neither looking up nor down.
Fearing that looking down might stir vertigo, and looking up would disturb those above with falling snowflakes.
Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou, designated at the very bottom, walked freely, untethered, on steady footing.
They didn’t climb ladders as much as walk on flat ground.
Their surrounding bodies shrugged off any falling snowwater.
The injury process spanned just two hours; they climbed a very tall mountain.
After ascending, they needed to press deeper within.
Reaching the mountain top didn’t mean they’d arrived at their destination.
The summit brought them only to a small village location.
This small village comprised merely ten to eight households, residing in wooden and stone houses.
Despite having brick houses on the mountain, they crafted them themselves rather than hauling materials piece by piece.
The mountain provided wood, soil, and stone, enabling them to source materials locally.
It showcased the laborers’ hands in creating their homeland with their own hands.
Trees were visible, albeit not crops due to winter; snow had cloaked the winter wheat.
They ascended one by one, with a watch in hand, each live-streaming individually.
After safely climbing the ladder to reach this location, they took a break.
The production crew used helicopters to deliver supplies once they arrived and distributed items manually.
Upon arriving, some households quietly opened doors, curious about these strangers invading their territory.
They’d heard the helicopter but didn’t come out, unaware if they were friendly or hostile.
Their survival strategy didn’t entail recklessly courting danger.
In these hollows, no one wished to ascend using helicopters to plunder their supplies.
People had climbed before with ill intent, despite having neither crops nor wealth; life remained impoverished.
On the mountains, hunting provided potential, enabling storage of game.
While game wasn’t expensive, fetching little as selling price.
Some individuals pursued illegal hunting of protected animals.
More frightening were those who abducted children, etc.
Seeing helicopters lifting substantial supplies and celebrities distributing among them.
Even on mountains, phones weren’t absent; in today’s digital age, the internet allowed them to earn via livestreams and videos.
They filmed every mountain moment, including daily life.
Among many guests, Luo Youyou and Mo Jingyan were the cleanest and most leisurely.
Their clothes showed no moisture; while others were unclear, they knew their vestment robes repelled water.
Upon distributing supplies to a dozen households, they noticed both left-behind children and the elderly.
Spotted were young couples and middle-aged people, but their numbers were sparse.
After discharging supplies, they ventured deeper as greater mountains awaited.
According to these households, the interior mountains housed inhabitants, often hunters, and possibly large animals resided there too.
Those lacking ability dared not dwell within.
