Even After My Death-Chapter 96 - 82 Set Up A Tent (3000 words)

After Jiang Ning and Nong Chun left, there were still seven guests remaining, and among these seven, five were adult men. If these items were to be shared as dinner for several people, there wouldn’t be enough to go around.

At that time, they hadn’t realized that the production team had truly abandoned them. They thought that at most the crew hadn’t located a few of the staff members who were involved in an accident, so they didn’t have the manpower to notify them. They believed that sooner or later, the crew would definitely come to pick them up.

Everyone made do with sharing what they had...

[It’s so pitiful, Best Actor Ling clearly didn’t have enough to eat! After he shared out the ten pieces of compressed biscuits, there were only two left for him.]

[All these snacks were originally brought out by Yuan Zai, and in the end, he only got to eat less than half a packet...]

[Oh, my heart aches for Best Actor Ling. If he hadn’t shared those ten pieces of compressed biscuits, he could have eaten them over two or three days.]

[Lin Qi’s three packets of instant noodles are now reduced to less than half a packet! The mineral water was all shared out as well! Ahhh, keep some water for yourself! What if you get thirsty tonight?]

[What’s with Huo Miao? Everyone else offered up their things, but she’s the only one still hiding and pinching, too selfish, right?]

[Exactly! And she has the nerve to accept things from others and eat joyfully. I’m suddenly a bit put off by her.]

[What nonsense? It was Mu Mingxuan who suggested everyone bring out their stuff, and he is Miaomiao’s fiancé! Huo Ziheng is Miaomiao’s brother! Isn’t it enough that those two brought things to share?]

[It’s just some snacks. Maybe our Miaomiao forgot, she packed so many things in her backpack, who would specifically remember a few unimportant snacks.]

[What’s the big deal if she doesn’t share? Jian Tiantian also didn’t bring anything out, did she? Our Miaomiao didn’t eat much, and what she did eat was the chocolate, bread, and mineral water that Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan brought. She didn’t touch anyone else’s stuff! Why should she have to share her snacks?]

[Are Huo Miao’s fans sick in the head? Bringing Tian Tian into this? Tian Tian already said earlier that she didn’t bring any food.]

[Exactly, if Tian Tian had brought food, she definitely would have shared it.]

[Why can’t you people just stop arguing! Forget it, you can keep arguing here, I’m going to watch another live broadcast...]

The other live room was actually a separate broadcasting room set up by the production team for Jiang Ning and Nong Chun after they left the main group.

After all, as Jiang Ning and Nong Chun got farther and farther away from everyone else, one live room was clearly not enough. Therefore, the production team opened another one specifically for Jiang Ning and Nong Chun.

Nong Chun, who was 178 cm tall, decided to follow Jiang Ning, and in just a few minutes, he had closed the distance between himself and Jiang Ning.

However, Nong Chun wasn’t the talkative type; quite the opposite, he was somewhat reserved, so he did not initiate a conversation with Jiang Ning, keeping a respectful distance instead.

When he caught up, Jiang Ning noticed someone following her. She glanced back briefly, and peripherally saw that it was the handsome amateur male guest. Without saying anything, she continued walking ahead without pause.

As they moved farther away from the other guests, Nong Chun couldn’t help speeding up and asked Jiang Ning, "Where are we going now?"

Outside of the wilderness, having more people around felt safer.

"Nearly there, just up ahead," Jiang Ning pointed with her hand.

Nong Chun wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he felt like the sunlight in the distance had become much sparser than before and the color had faded a lot; even the breeze from the ocean seemed to bring a hint of coolness.

They arrived at a hillside, and Jiang Ning stomped on the wild grass and soil underfoot, "We can set up a tent here."

Only after Jiang Ning’s actions did Nong Chun notice that the land they were standing on had somehow switched from the loose beach sand to firm soil.

Besides, the elevation where he and Jiang Ning were now was significantly higher than the previous location.

Nong Chun couldn’t help but look back. He hadn’t noticed it before, but now he saw that the shallow waters they had been playing in just an hour ago at the beach were already overwhelmed by the tide.

The burnt rocks that were visible when they first disembarked from the yacht were now all submerged by the sea.

Nong Chun gasped, "Is this... the tide rising?"

"Yes, the tide is coming in, and it’s going to rain soon," Jiang Ning nodded, no longer speaking with Nong Chun. She dropped her backpack on the ground and quickly ran toward a large rock not far away.

Seeing this, Nong Chun, without a second thought, dropped his pack and ran after Jiang Ning.

He had initially wanted to ask why Jiang Ning was climbing such a large rock, but once he stood on top and effortlessly took in a view of the ocean, vastly broader than before, Nong Chun suddenly realized: Jiang Ning was determining whether the director and the production team were coming back by yacht.

Mu Mingxuan and the others sat hopelessly waiting for the production team, thinking Jiang Ning was foolish to leave. In reality, by moving towards higher and more expansive ground, Jiang Ning would know the production team’s movements sooner than Mu Mingxuan and the others.

Nong Chun’s eyes widened as he saw the dark clouds gathering on the distant horizon; the vast ocean opposite churned with waves but showed no signs of any boat or yacht.

A look of disappointment crossed Nong Chun’s face. If the production team wasn’t showing up now, when the black clouds overhead brought rain, sailing would become very risky, making it even less likely for them to appear. Conversely, Jiang Ning looked undisturbed as she turned and walked back after confirming that the production team had not arrived.

Nong Chun quickly followed suit.

He could see the dense clouds gathering over the sea ahead; if they drifted over, heavy rain was certain!

No wonder the breeze had felt much colder just moments ago!

Standing on a large rock, Nong Chun could vaguely see the figures of Best Actor Ling and the others. He waved at them and shouted, "Best Actor Ling! The crew’s boat hasn’t arrived! It’s going to rain soon!!!"

After calling out twice, regardless of whether they understood or not, Nong Chun turned and followed Jiang Ning.

Back in college, Jiang Ning had been a summer camp leader and was quite proficient in setting up tents.

However, perhaps considering everyone would be surviving on the Desolate Island for 30 days, the program had customized tents made of especially thick material, which had a larger space than average tents.

When Jiang Ning unpacked the tent, he found inside a waterproof cloth and a small blanket to cover up with while sleeping. The thorough consideration was surprising; no wonder the tent was so big even when it was brand-new and unopened.

"This tent is quite large; we should set it up together," Nong Chun, who was behind him, volunteered to help.

Taking into account that two people would indeed be more efficient than one, Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

Their movements were swift, and since Jiang Ning had picked an especially suitable spot for camping, they quickly set up the tent.

They used stakes while setting up the tent, and with the stakes firmly anchoring it, Jiang Ning wasn’t worried that the tent would be blown away when it became windy and started to rain.

After the tent was set up, Nong Chun couldn’t deny the sense of relief he felt inside; it was as if he suddenly had a sense of security, and the sight of the dark clouds on the horizon didn’t induce the previous sense of panic.

Nong Chun took a bottle of water out of his backpack and offered it to Jiang Ning, "Want some water?"

Jiang Ning raised his hand to take it, "Thanks."

He then took an apple out of his pocket, cut it with the Survival Knife, and handed half of it to Nong Chun.

Seeing this, Nong Chun didn’t stand on ceremony and directly accepted it.

[What the heck? Where did she get that fruit from?]

[What the hell! How does Jiang Ning have an apple?]

[That apple can’t possibly be picked from the Desolate Island, can it?]

[She’s been in the live broadcast room the whole time; where would she have found the chance to pick fruit!]

[Seeing her take it from her pocket, she must have been carrying it on her all along.]

Indeed, Jiang Ning had brought the apple with her when she left home in the morning. It had been an afterthought, but it helped stave off hunger for a bit now.

After finishing the apple, Jiang Ning reached out for her backpack and pulled out two packets of compressed biscuits from the outermost compartment and tossed them into Nong Chun’s arms, then took out another packet for herself, opened it, and started eating.

Nong Chun, had just finished his apple and was once again ’fed’ by Jiang Ning, paused for a second before replying somewhat awkwardly, "Thanks."

[Nong Chun is really clinging to a solid thigh here, huh? His tent is set up, and he’s well fed too.]

[Looking at this, Jiang Ning seems pretty decent. Despite appearing cold and distant, she took the initiative to share what she knew with the guests (about the rain), and she didn’t reject Nong Chun when he approached her. Because Nong Chun gave her a bottle of mineral water, she also shared her food with Nong Chun.]

[Yeah, she seems to be a very secure and principled person.]

[Hahaha suddenly got charmed by Jiang Ning. She looks so earnest and cute when eating, just like a little hamster]

[Enough already! Here we are on a Desolate Island, where water is so precious, and she only gives the guy half an apple and two compressed biscuits.]

[If she were just a bit kinder, talked more with the other guests, Best Actor Ling and the others wouldn’t have only begun setting up their tents now.]

[The sun has set and the dark clouds have arrived! They’re only now discussing whether to set up the tents or not; seems a bit late, oh no!]

[It’s so frustrating! Why isn’t it Trash Jiang who’s about to get drenched?!]

[???]

[Are you guys sick? This is Jiang Ning and Nong Chun’s live broadcast room. If you like the main characters, go to another live broadcast, alright!]

[I won’t go! I’m gonna rant! *******!]

[Hahaha so hilarious, sounds like homegrown fertilizer being thrown around so crudely. Good thing it’s censored and we can’t see it.]

[I*!**********]

[Haha still invisible, lulz, you can’t irritate me, you can’t irritate me]

After Jiang Ning and Nong Chun finished eating, the sky grew dark, and fierce winds whipped up, sending dust flying. They greeted each other and then hid in their respective tents.

If nothing unexpected happened, when they woke up, it would be a new day.

While Jiang Ning and Nong Chun lay comfortably in their tents, on the other hand, Huo Miao and Best Actor Ling’s group were having a miserable time...
