Chapter 773: Comforting Emotions
After all, under extreme conditions, the evil in human nature would be magnified. In order to promote teammates to cooperate with each other and not watch others’ difficulties coldly and selfishly only care about their own interests, the rules set by the production team were that if one person quits during the survival process, all of them would fail.
Therefore, if they wanted to complete all the missions and survive successfully, they had to help others and help the weakest in the team. The benefits of the members in the team were tied together. It was one for all or all for one. They would enjoy prosperities and sufferings together.
Moreover, because one person’s withdrawal would cause all the members to fail, in order to avoid being blamed and resented by their teammates, the guests would do their best to survive. They would only give up when they had no choice. This would have an additional restrictive effect on the guests, preventing them from easily withdrawing.
There would be a huge bonus if they succeeded in the challenge. Moreover, they could also gain fame. Although the difficulty of Man vs. Wild for celebrities had been reduced, this process was still extremely difficult.
In the beginning, Sharon didn’t participate in this show for fame and fortune, but to leave those annoying people in the Harris family and challenge herself. Now, she had a reason to continue persevering. For the sake of defeating the difficulties to have a breakthrough for herself again and again and for the sake of her teammates who had been fighting alongside her day and night.
Sharon felt that she was becoming stronger and stronger in the process of overcoming challenges and challenging her limits. She didn’t want to quit before she reached the end of her rope and reached the limit of her endurance.
Therefore, Melissa could not back out now. She had to appease her emotions.
Sharon exhaled softly and her tone softened. “Melissa, the fish trap has been destroyed. We don’t have a stable source of protein, so it’s very important to find a new source of protein. I understand that you don’t want to eat worms, so we won’t force you to eat them. Besides, it’s actually too early for us to say this now. We might not be able to catch worms. The ideal outcome is that we manage to catch some more fish. We’ve succeeded before, so the chances of success are still very high.”
Melissa didn’t say anything. In fact, she was only saying those words out of anger. She had many haters to begin with. If she quit midway, it would cause others to fail the mission. She didn’t know how her haters and the fans of the other guests would scold her. Furthermore, although the food she had eaten recently wasn’t very delicious, she wasn’t hungry. She didn’t want to quit for the time being.
Seeing that Melissa’s expression had softened, Sharon continued, “Besides, you persevered through so much difficulty previously. Those fans who have always supported you are watching you and silently cheering for you. You definitely don’t want to disappoint them, right?”
When Melissa thought of her fans, her eyes actually turned red. Those people she didn’t know, those passionate and adorable people helped her argue with her haters online. They came to the airport to pick her up without sleeping the entire night. They knew all her hobbies and habits. And she seemed to know nothing about their lives. Yet, they still liked her.
“Alright, let’s set off to search for food.” Seeing that Melissa was no longer determined to leave the show, Dan quickly changed the topic and gave Melissa a way out.
“It rained yesterday. There might be mushrooms growing in the forest.” Sharon suddenly thought that this rain was quite timely and could provide them with a new source of food.
“That’s great!” Melinda said happily. “Let’s go and look for it.”
“Yesterday, I saw a salt-skinned tree. We can pick some to use as seasoning to cook mushrooms,” Shane said.
“Alright, let’s go pick some first. Even if we don’t get any mushrooms, we can use them to season other food,” Sharon said.
As it had rained last night, although the sun had risen today, the ground was still a little damp.
When Sharon and the others walked on the mountain road, the soles of their shoes were sticky with mud and dead leaves.
Dan picked up a tree branch from the ground and scraped the mud off the soles of his shoes.
Shane was also on a rock, scraping the mud off the soles of his shoes. Otherwise, it would be very heavy when he walked.
“There are really mushrooms ahead!” Melinda walked over and squatted in front of a few mushrooms that were growing together.
Dan also walked over and squatted down. “This kind of mushroom is edible. I don’t remember its exact name, but I went up the mountain to pick them with my grandfather when I was young..”
