After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 68 Saving People

The three of them held their breath for a moment, making sure they heard correctly, and without hesitation, rushed in the direction of the cries for help.

Now, in this jungle, anyone could either be a guest or a staff member of the Survival program, and even if it was an unrelated stranger, once heard, they couldn’t ignore it.

Xu Zhao ran the fastest, followed closely by Jiang Lingxi, with Jiang Kaiyuan panting behind them.

The cameraman, carrying heavy equipment and gear, initially tried hard to keep up but, upon realizing it was futile, one switched to drone aerial mode while the other two dropped their things and followed suit.

Until this moment, Jiang Kaiyuan and the chasing cameraman realized that, previously, whether it was Xu Zhao or Jiang Lingxi, their pace was accommodating them.

If they were to hurry along at this speed, they’d be exhausted every day like dogs!

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn’t help but feel tense as well.

—"Could it be that another team accidentally fell into the quicksand?"

—"Most likely, this quicksand isn’t easy to spot, it’s covered in grass, at least I didn’t notice anything unusual when watching the live stream."

—"If it wasn’t for Jiang Lingxi earlier, my brother might have fallen in too, it was terrifying. Initially, I was thinking about exploring the surrounding jungle after watching this show, but now I think I’d better be cautious."

—"Make sure to remember what that eye-catching blue flower looks like, Jiang Lingxi said this kind of flower grows near swamps, and if you see one, walk away immediately and don’t get any closer."

—"To be fair, it seems like Jiang Lingxi is well-prepared, she noticed it sooner than Brother Xu."

—"I just checked out another team’s live broadcast, the one who fell into the swamp is Jiang Xiyu. Brother Xu and others aren’t far from there, with more people, they should be able to successfully rescue her."

As they got closer, the cries for help became more distinct and heartrending.

Jiang Lingxi recognized who was calling for help, didn’t pause her steps, and even grabbed a vine almost as thick as her wrist.

Jiang Kaiyuan followed behind, imitating her, and grabbed a vine seeing one nearby.

Finally reaching the scene, it was already a chaotic mess.

The swamp had already engulfed Jiang Xiyu’s waist and below, Jiang Lingxi glanced over, only seeing her thrashing hands and her frightened face.

Yu Hui, pulled by two cameramen, was leaning over, pulling at Jiang Xiyu’s arm, but in her panic, Jiang Xiyu couldn’t cooperate and the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.

The three caught sight of the helpers running towards them and were nearly moved to tears.

Yu Hui shouted hoarsely: "Quick, there’s a rope in my bag."

Moments ago, Jiang Xiyu suddenly stepped into the quicksand, and he couldn’t react in time; by the time he did, she was already down to her thigh level.

He couldn’t get the rope in time, only instinctively grabbed Jiang Xiyu’s hand.

As a result, he was also being pulled toward the swamp by Jiang Xiyu, and it was fortunate the two cameramen quickly dropped their equipment to hold onto him.

The four of them were thus caught in a deadlock, not daring to let go.

Xu Zhao pulled a rope from the bag, thought for a moment, and tied a stone to one end.

He quickly went to the shore, looking for an angle to throw the rope.

He needed to toss the rope near Jiang Xiyu without hitting her with the stone; with his strength, an average person couldn’t handle it, let alone someone as delicate as Jiang Xiyu.

Yet Jiang Xiyu kept struggling, making it difficult to find a moment to throw the rope.

Jiang Lingxi took a deep breath. "Jiang Xiyu, calm down, everyone is trying to save you."

Without thinking, Jiang Xiyu cried out, "Don’t give me that lip service, could you calm down if you were in this position?"

Yu Hui’s already red face faltered, "Jiang Xiyu, no one can save you if you keep struggling, I’m running out of strength."

The hand Yu Hui was holding was like a lifeline, Jiang Xiyu froze upon hearing this, her struggle momentarily ceasing.

Seeing the moment, Xu Zhao tossed the rope over. freewёbnoνel.com

The action was hurried, yet thankfully successful.

The stone, under Xu Zhao’s controlled strength, landed beside Jiang Xiyu, about to sink into the swamp, and Yu Hui quickly reminded her: "Xiyu, tie the rope around your waist quickly, we’ll pull you up together."

Jiang Xiyu managed to regain some composure, swiftly picking up the rope and wrapping it around herself several times.

After doing so, she instinctively reached for Yu Hui’s hand, only for him to reflexively shake his hand, feeling sore, causing her to grab nothing but air and stare in bewilderment.

Then, two dark green vines suddenly swung in front of her, splattering her face with mud.

Jiang Lingxi held the other end of the vine and instructed, "Grab onto the vine with both hands."

Ignoring her muddy face, Jiang Xiyu instinctively reached out and gripped tightly.

Then, Jiang Lingxi and Jiang Kaiyuan each pulled a vine, while the others gripped the rope like a tug-of-war, pulling back with all their might.

Just as Jiang Xiyu felt like her arms and waist were about to be torn apart, everyone finally triumphed over nature’s force, and they managed to yank her out of the swamp.

Having narrowly escaped death, Jiang Xiyu sat dumbfounded in the mud for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears.

It was fear before; now it’s the aftermath.

Just a little more, a little more and she feared she’d really meet her end here, and such a painful way to die!

The others turned their attention to Jiang Lingxi upon witnessing this.

There were only two girls present, and these men didn’t know how to comfort her, so it fell on Jiang Lingxi to act.

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

To be honest, she wasn’t good at comforting others.

Besides, she had to comfort someone from a rival team right now.

After a while, she managed to say, "Stop crying, at least you’re alive."

Jiang Xiyu’s crying paused.

Everyone: "..."

The viewers who were worried in the various live broadcast rooms: "..."

—"This is some hardcore comfort!"

—"Haha, weren’t these two originally from rival teams? It’s already a stretch for her to say comforting words, don’t expect too much."

—"Am I the only one who finds Jiang Lingxi’s awkward attempt to comfort a bit endearing?"

—"Jiang Xiyu was clearly startled by this consolation."

—"Isn’t that effective then."

Jiang Xiyu indeed couldn’t continue crying.

When she was desperately struggling in the swamp earlier, she couldn’t think of anything else, and now that she’s safe, she realized that Jiang Lingxi, too, played a part in saving her.

She tried hard to convince herself that Jiang Lingxi did this to show the viewers and other guests, or she’d be criticized for watching someone die with indifference.

Yes, it must be true; she couldn’t believe Jiang Lingxi would kindly rush over to save her!
