Chapter 306: Chapter 305: Tracking the Ice Lake Female Corpse

Just an hour ago, during a live broadcast of "Desert Survival Law," Jia Yao unexpectedly ripped the hunter’s suit, revealing the striking and eye-catching red thermal underwear underneath. The scene had quickly shot to the top of trending searches, leading Arctic People’s branding department to immediately decide to sign him on-site and airfreight new products to the filming location.

The assistant director patted Jia Yao’s shoulder: "A renowned national brand endorsement rushed to find you, it’s the treatment of top-tier celebrities, Jia Yao, aren’t you happy?"

"Nobody else has one!"

Jia Yao couldn’t muster a smile.

He could already imagine how much of a stir the scene of him tearing the branded clothes had caused an hour ago.

Utter humiliation.

The camera swiftly cut to the sidelines—the manager was pretending to be focused on scrolling through his phone but, feeling Jia Yao’s gaze, he coughed tactically: "Well... they offered an enormous endorsement fee..."

Jia Yao desperately held his head: "I’m an idol! I follow a fashion route!"

"The ultimate fashion is practicality!" the manager suddenly exclaimed confidently, "Just think, from now on, when people see red clothes, they’ll think of you, and when they see thermal underwear... hey, don’t walk away!"

Jia Yao was eventually caught back by his manager to continue the dare punishment challenge. With trembling hands, he drew a mission card from the dare task box: "Wear... the Arctic People warm home series and mimic snow chicken hatching eggs?"

"What kind of ridiculous dare challenge task is this, can I draw another one?"

The staff held back laughter with a trembling voice: "The other options include wearing it for radio calisthenics, or twisting a yangko dance... do you still want to draw another?"

Ten minutes later, Jia Yao appeared in bright red Arctic People warm pajamas, with Arctic People thermal underwear inside as well.

[With this outfit, Jia Yao instantly transformed from an idol hottie to the guy next door, Brother Wang.]

[I dress like this when I go down to throw out the trash during New Year celebrations.]

[Being able to withstand the cold on West Mountain, it certainly looks quite warm!]

[The advertisers let Jia Yao wear warm pajamas to hatch eggs, is it to make everyone believe these warm pajamas are really warm? They really are advertising geniuses!]

The show prepared a large nest, filled with a clutch of eggs.

Jia Yao lay down on the nest, spreading his arms with a look of despair: "Cluck cluck—"

His red attire stood out brilliantly under the sunlight, and as he moved, a few eggs rolled out of the nest and onto the snow.

After a while, snow chickens returning from the Snowfield Labyrinth, curious about the striking red on Jia Yao’s body, tilted their heads and gathered around.

As another egg rolled out from under Jia Yao, the lead snow chicken suddenly clucked twice and, mimicking his posture, laid down on the egg.

The other snow chickens, seeing this, followed suit, forming a circle around Jia Yao and earnestly beginning to "hatch eggs."

Jia Yao suddenly went from being a lone egg-hatching hen to the respected chief of an egg-hatching hen circle, quite the prestigious sight.

"Wait a minute... you guys don’t need to do this!" Jia Yao could see the dramatic scene of these enthusiastic snow chickens helping him hatch eggs, imagining his fame soaring even higher.

He admitted that he joined this show for popularity, for traffic and recognition, but not like this!!!

The snow chickens knew Xu Ying, who was watching from the side, and while hatching eggs, they chirped and chatted with Xu Ying.

[Little Xu Station Chief, isn’t this hen mom too pitiful!]

[Laying so many eggs, and in the winter too, can’t keep up.]

[Little Xu Station Chief, why does this hen mom look so strange!]

[The feathers are fiery red, and with a human head, it’s quite frightening!]

Xu Ying didn’t know how to explain that they were doing a reality show challenge, the snow chickens’ little brains might not understand.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ying seriously answered: "He’s, he’s playing a turkey, learning turkey egg-hatching skills."

The eager snow chickens seemed to somewhat understand: [He looks overwhelmed!]

[Tell him not to worry, we’ll help him~]

Xu Ying was holding back laughter until her stomach hurt: "Then I’ll thank you on his behalf."

Barrage like a torrent:

[Snow chickens: I’m familiar with this work, let me help!]

[Jia Yao got his job stolen by the snow chickens hahaha]

[Hahahaha, Little Xu Station Chief actually said Jia Yao is a turkey, so funny]

[The snow chickens are so enthusiastic, all the little animals on Snow Mountain are so loving~]

Seeing Jia Yao’s face full of shame and anger, Xu Ying couldn’t help but explain to Jia Yao: "Snow chickens’ body temperatures are 3 degrees higher than humans, they’re indeed more professional ’incubators’. They’re worried that if you hatch eggs on the snow like this, you’ll freeze the eggs."

Jia Yao looked at the earnest snow chickens around him and silently wrapped himself tighter in the thermal underwear: "Alright... at least it proves the clothes are indeed warm..."

When Jia Yao finally finished the egg-hatching experience, his manager was on the sidelines, crying tears of joy: "Jia Yao, another famous fresh supply brand has approached you for endorsement!"

"Look! This is commercial value!"

"The artist I manage is truly amazing!"

Jia Yao’s eyes turned back: "It won’t be another ad with me wearing thermal clothes with chickens, right?"

Everyone erupted into laughter.

The second episode of "Desert Survival Law" ended with such a joyous scene.

Xu Ying had dinner with the production team before riding a snowmobile back to the Snow Mountain Rescue Station. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The Snow Mountain Rescue Station was constructed later, having much better conditions than her Desert Rescue Station, but due to insufficient operating funds, it hadn’t been put to use since the building was completed.

The ratings for "Desert Survival Law" continued to soar with the second season! Following the explosive popularity of the first episode, the production team chose Snow Mountain as the second episode’s filming location, and Xizhou Province authorities quickly teamed up with the producers to inject special funds into the Snow Mountain Rescue Station.

With the current heat of the show, the long-term operating funds for the rescue station were finally secured.

Xu Ying would stay at the Snow Mountain Rescue Station for a week to arrange daily affairs, then return to the Desert Rescue Station.

She planned to return to Snow Mountain in early spring to sow Snow Lotus with the little animals of Snow Mountain, arranging everything clearly.

Xu Ying slept well in the warm and tidy dormitory of the Snow Mountain Rescue Station.

The next morning, she was awakened by a phone call.

It was from Ji Xuehui.

"Little Xu Station Chief, today the conditions at the Ice Lake allow us to go down and salvage bodies, could you come over to help us?"

"Our police need your and the otter’s help."

Xu Ying scrambled out of bed: "Alright, I’ll be right there!"

After a quick wash, Xu Ying got ready and headed out. She walked towards the snowmobile sponsored by Qi Xiao, opened the storage compartment, and was about to put her toolbox inside when she discovered it was already packed—

Bagged nuts, beef jerky, milk, energy drinks... various foods and drinks were neatly arranged.

Xu Ying paused, then realized—it was likely Qi Xiao’s arrangement.

Her lips curled into a slight smile, and she felt a touch of warmth in her heart. This was perfect, now she didn’t even need to prepare her own provisions.

Arriving at the Ice Lake, Ji Xuehui and several salvage personnel were already beside the lake.

Ji Xuehui handed Xu Ying a cup of hot soy milk: "Based on the video we took underwater that day, we’ve already identified the body’s identity."
