Chapter 108: Unspoken Understanding on the Sea
The female host looked at Ed and Bear and asked, “Our contestant, Bell, has already left the island. I believe the audience is very curious. I want to ask on behalf of the audience if, in your experience, there is a chance of Bell being saved?”
Ed and Bear were experts in wilderness survival, so they naturally had the right to speak about this.
In this world’s wilderness survival, the two of them could be said to have authority.
As long as the two of them made a judgment, they rarely made mistakes.
Li Ziqi pricked up her ears when she heard the host’s question.
After interacting with Bell for a while, Li Ziqi treated Bell like her younger brother.
Seeing Bell sail so rashly, although Li Ziqi criticized inwardly, she could not do anything.
She could only pray for Bell’s safety.
Therefore, she was paying attention to Bear and Ed’s evaluation.
She wanted to hear Bell’s chances from their mouths.
But this time, Bear and Ed disappointed her.
Bear and Ed shook their heads.
Seeing the two of them like this, everyone was shocked.
Her heart was in her mouth.
“What’s going on? Ed and Bear aren’t talking. Is Bell in danger?”
“No way, did Bell forget something?”
“Sigh, he is still too young. If it were authoritative figures like Ed and Bear, there definitely wouldn’t be a problem.”
“I don’t think so. Everyone has seen Bell’s performance these days. His level might be higher than Ed and Bear’s!”
For a moment, everyone was discussing. Some stood for Bell, while others stood for Ed and Bear.
“Can you guys stop arguing? Ed and Bear haven’t even spoken yet. Maybe it’s not what you guys are thinking at all.”
There were also many people who were rational.
Seeing Ed and Bear shake their heads, the female host’s heart tightened.
Without waiting for the instructions of the production team, she asked impatiently.
“Ed, Bear, are you saying that Bell might not be able to pass this Wilderness Survival test?”
“Did he miss something?”
The beautiful host had the same thoughts as the others.
They felt that Bell had forgotten something that made the two of them behave like this.
Bear said.
“No, everyone is mistaken. The reason we shook our heads is not to say that Bell did anything wrong.”
“On the contrary, Bell’s performance this time is perfect as usual.”
Ed also nodded in agreement.
“That’s right. After so many shows, Bell can be said to be the most professional contestant I’ve ever seen.”
The two wilderness survival specialists gave Bell a very high evaluation.
But it was because of this that everyone was confused again.
Since Bell was so outstanding, why were the two of them shaking their heads when the host asked if Bell could successfully escape?
Ed seemed to guess everyone’s thoughts and smiled strangely.
“The reason why we didn’t answer this lady’s question is that we can’t judge Bell’s current situation.”
“The weather at sea is unpredictable. A storm can happen at any time.”
“In fact, if I were alone here, I would probably choose to wait for the plane to rescue me because this is the safest method.”
“Once you fall into the sea, it’s impossible to rescue you in time.”
Everyone finally understood.
It turned out that Bell had not done anything wrong, but he had chosen a more aggressive method.
Everyone expressed understanding.
Ed was talking about waiting for rescue because he was alone. Moreover, there would be no competitors.
But Bell was different.
Beside Bell were four noobs in the wilderness survival field.
The resources consumed by the five of them increased exponentially, be it food or water.
There were not enough resources on the deserted island to support them while they waited for a plane to pass.
Going out to sea was their only way out.
After hearing Ed and Bear’s explanation, everyone was worried.
In the leader’s office, the man was holding a phone.
“Send the rescue team out. Once anything happens to Bell, begin the rescue immediately.”
The television station was betting on Bell. They would not allow anything to happen to him.
Currently, it looked like it would not be easy for Bell to bring Scarlett and the other three to the civilized world. He had achieved his goal and could not let anything happen to them.
The subordinates naturally did not dare to be careless.
Before anything happened to Bell, the rescue team had already begun to move.
But Bell did not know about this.
At this moment, Bell was still sitting on the bamboo raft with Scarlett and the others.
He was chatting with the audience.
“Now that our bamboo raft is sailing on the sea, I am not expecting to return to the civilized world smoothly. Because with our bamboo raft, it’s almost impossible to sail back to the shore. I am mostly looking to encounter ships.”
“Although the various countries don’t have explicit rules that the ships traveling at sea have to rescue those in danger, it is an unspoken understanding for them to do it.”
“I believe that most of you don’t know that there are many ships that meet mishaps every year in the sea. No one can guarantee that they will be safe. With the unspoken rule of saving those in distress, the chances of survival of the crew around the world will increase. Therefore, no one will break this rule.”
“Even the most ferocious pirates will not break this rule.”
Bell knew very well that the desolate island he had been on was 500 nautical miles away from the shore.
Not to mention a small bamboo raft, even taking a speedboat would take eight hours to reach it.
What was a speedboat? 50 nautical miles per hour.
He looked at his bamboo raft.
Bell could only chuckle.
Fortunately, the season was not bad, and there should be many people taking a vacation.
Therefore, the probability of encountering a ship was higher.
Bell was betting on this.
Scarlett and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Bell’s explanation.
They really thought that Bell was going to take the bamboo raft and sail back to the civilized world.
If that was the case, the few of them would probably have no choice but to give up.
Time passed slowly, and Bell’s bamboo raft was getting further and further away from the uninhabited island.
At that moment, the surroundings were already a vast sea. There was nothing else.
A lonely feeling surrounded the few of them, making them feel abnormally uneasy.
