70: Bullet comments from China

Looking at Meichuan Neiku's extremely wretched appearance, Kalba's heart was full of disdain, and he curled his lip inwardly.

In his view, to their Pretty Country, Japan was nothing more than a submissive dog they kept.

In fact, a world-famous painting titled "MacArthur and His Dog" still circulated in the world today.

The painting depicted the scene of the Pretty Country controlling the Japanese Cabinet back then; such anecdotes were still relished by people as conversation topics over tea and after meals.

Moreover, Meichuan Neiku's despicable act of secretly poisoning made Kalba look down on him from the bottom of his heart.

Soon, after a discussion, the two decided to split up and set out immediately.

Kalba continued south, aiming to find Lu Fan; while Meichuan Neiku took a raft along a tributary, speeding toward An Lan's direction as fast as possible.

After finalizing their plan, the two left the livestream room's field of vision stealthily, like night-dwellers harboring sinister intentions.

Meanwhile, in a television station livestream room in a distant and bustling city, the host Yu Rui was focusing all her attention on her post, conducting a special report on the evening's Wilderness Survival event.

On the large screen in the livestream room, numerous images switched constantly like a revolving lantern, showing the difficult situations of various contestants in the wilderness in real-time.

When Yu Rui's gaze inadvertently landed on the images of Kalba and Meichuan Neiku, her expression instantly froze, and her originally vibrant face was immediately replaced by solemnity.

The expressions of malice written all over their faces, along with the ill intentions toward Lu Fan and An Lan revealed in their eyes, made her keenly realize the seriousness of the matter, and a sense of unease quietly spread in her heart.

In the livestream room, the audience also discovered this situation at the same time, and barrage comments instantly filled the screen:

"Holy crap, Kalba and Meichuan Neiku actually met up!"

"They must be planning something against Great God Lu Fan, how despicable!"

"Quick, remind him! We can't let them succeed!"

"It's the middle of the night, how can we remind him? This is so frustrating!"

Yu Rui's heart began to beat violently; she knew well that these two were harborers of ill intent and were ruthless in their methods.

If their conspiracy were truly to succeed, not only would the life safety of the Chinese contestants be greatly threatened, but it would also concern the dignity and honor of the nation, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Without the slightest hesitation, she decisively pressed the emergency contact button and reported this shocking discovery to the television station's backstage staff, her voice carrying an unmistakable urgency.

Soon, a specialist hurried over to have an emergency talk with Yu Rui.

"Hello, thank you very much for your vigilance and professionalism. We actually already have specialists who observed this abnormal situation. For now, do not make a scene to avoid alerting the enemy and letting the Pretty Country and Japan side be on guard; we will have follow-up countermeasures."

Hearing the technical staff's steady words, Yu Rui's hanging heart finally relaxed slightly; she believed that the country must have a more comprehensive and appropriate way to respond, it was just not convenient to disclose it yet.

Meanwhile, the viewers in the livestream room who were frantically sending worried barrage comments also began to receive notification messages from professional departments, and their barrage comments were retracted one by one; the livestream room temporarily returned to a surface-level calm.

At this moment, in the Huaguo high-level meeting room, the atmosphere was so heavy it felt as if water could be wrung out of it.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the livestream screen; every move of Kalba and Meichuan Neiku in that image was like a tightly drawn string in everyone's hearts.

"Everyone, share your opinions." The Top Leader rubbed his slightly throbbing brow, his voice carrying a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were exceptionally firm.

"It can be confirmed now that these two are coming for our contestants with ill intentions." An old man spoke with a serious expression, his tone carrying an indisputable certainty.

"The key to the problem is that these two have split up, and we can currently only choose to remind one person."

"According to calculations, for a 60-kilometer journey, based on Kalba's physical fitness, it would normally take about 7 to 8 hours. But considering the rugged and difficult mountain roads, it might actually take over 10 hours to reach Contestant Lu Fan's location."

A geographer pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and analyzed logically.

"Don't forget there's also Meichuan Neiku. He's on a raft, and using the speed of the water current, he can probably save four or five hours of travel. For the remaining dozen or so kilometers, with his physical stamina, he can completely walk to Contestant An Lan's Shelter."

A general had a cold expression, his eyes fixed on the map as he analyzed the situation in a heavy tone.

"I believe everyone is well aware of Contestant Lu Fan's importance; we must notify him as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"But Contestant Lu Fan is very powerful. By comparison, shouldn't we prioritize ensuring Contestant An Lan's safety? After all, every contestant is our precious asset; we really cannot afford to lose any."

In the meeting room, everyone expressed their own views, arguing fiercely about whether to send a barrage comment to Lu Fan or to An Lan.

For a time, various viewpoints clashed, and the atmosphere was as tense as a drawn bow.

Finally, The Top Leader made the final decision with a heavy hand: "We will not give up on any Huaguo citizen. This is not a trade-off based on gains and losses; this is our Huaguo attitude, our firm stance that we will never abandon any of our compatriots!

Send a barrage comment to Contestant Lu Fan, telling him to temporarily avoid their edge and retreat toward the northwest. At the same time, hope that he can rescue Contestant An Lan while ensuring his own safety.

As for the final result, or whether Contestant Lu Fan chooses to rescue or not... he is our well-deserved hero."

The meeting room fell into a brief silence; everyone understood that in the current difficult situation, this was a helpless yet most appropriate method.

They had to make a difficult choice under limited conditions, and no matter the choice, they were full of trust and expectation for Lu Fan.

Soon, the relevant departments quickly drafted the content of the barrage comment.

Lu Fan, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly shuddered all over as if awakened by an invisible force, and he snapped his eyes open.

[Wilderness Survival Barrage Comment (50 characters can be sent per week)]

[Enemies will arrive 60km to the northwest; An Lan will face a crisis 120km further west. Rescue Contestant An Lan if possible; if not, prioritize self-preservation.]

Lu Fan sat up abruptly, his heart pounding, his emotions surging.

"Are the enemies finally coming? 60 kilometers, which means they'll be here by this afternoon." Lu Fan quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

"Contestant An Lan, 120 kilometers away... the enemies are truly cunning, what a calculated plan."

"If I received the barrage comment, it means Contestant An Lan doesn't know someone is heading her way..."

Lu Fan's mind was like a high-speed machine, figuring out many key issues in just a few seconds.

First, hiding was definitely not an option; one can hide for a while but not forever. The enemies were clearly coming for the Chinese contestants, so a direct conflict would erupt sooner or later.

"Then there's only one way now: rescue Contestant An Lan first, then come back to find an opportunity to deal with the enemies on this side."

Lu Fan quickly made a decision; he decided to rescue An Lan first.

After all, they were both Chinese contestants, and moreover, that was a living life. In his heart, the safety of a teammate was as heavy as Mount Tai.

Lu Fan could certainly deal with the enemies in front of him first before helping An Lan.

But now the situation was unclear; he didn't know when the enemies over there would find An Lan. Time was of the essence and allowed for no delay.

Having made the decision, Lu Fan quickly got up and left the room.

Hearing the movement, Da Hei in the doghouse quickly scrambled up and ran cheerfully to Lu Fan's side, panting and wagging his tail.
