"Mu Zi isn't dead yet, will Jiang Fan be charged with attempted murder? This is too terrifying, poisoning!"
That Mu Zi was not dead was good news for the fans.
But Jiang Fan's words plunged them into greater anxiety.
Was deadly nightshade really incapable of killing?
They worried from the bottom of their hearts.
Fortunately, both commentators were truly skilled.
Especially Lele, after seeing Jiang Fan use herbs to treat a cold last time, she had diligently studied traditional Chinese medicine.
Now, when this topic came up, she could contribute.
"Speaking of this, it's actually quite simple. Those who talk about harm without discussing dosage are just being disingenuous!"
"Deadly nightshade isn't as terrifying as everyone thinks; it even has certain medicinal values."
After Lele explained, Bei Ye chimed in.
"The toxicity of the upas tree comes from a substance called a cardiac glycoside, and this substance happens to be counteracted by atropine in deadly nightshade."
"However, this application is purely theoretical and has not undergone clinical trials. No one knows what the final outcome would be."
"Furthermore, the dosage for this kind of 'fighting poison with poison' is extremely difficult to control and can only serve as an emergency measure. The important thing is to administer the corresponding antidote."
Someone in the studio found some information and placed it on a cue card for Bei Ye to read.
He added a sentence at the end.
"This method is not suitable for ordinary people, do not imitate!"
Bei Ye's words indeed dissuaded many people.
They had indeed had the thought of, 'Learned something new, I could try this too.'
But after Bei Ye's warning, they realized.
This was a situation where trying it would lead to death!
"I almost learned it, luckily Bei Ye said it early."
"Give it a rest, you'd have to find a bleed-out tree first. These trees are all national Class III protected plants, very difficult to find, and you won't be allowed to touch them easily."
"Doesn't anyone notice that Jiang Shen, who can provide emergency antidote, is truly amazing!"
"To the person above, I agree! I'm not just flattering him, but Mu Zi was only sent into the bamboo house for a short time, and he already came up with a solution so quickly. I'm impressed!"
With Mu Zi safely taken away, there shouldn't be any further problems.
Once relieved, they realized Jiang Fan's true capabilities.
When faced with poisoning, Bei Ye would dispatch rescue teams, leaving the audience helpless, yet Jiang Fan succeeded.
He successfully bought Mu Zi more time, snatching his life back from the hands of death.
This was too incredible!
Not to mention his skills in starting fires, hunting, making salt, and building houses.
He was simply all-around capable!
Was this man not born for the wilderness?
A large number of casual viewers in the live stream were converted into fans, awed by Jiang Fan's prowess.
Even those who had previously clamored that 'Jiang Fan is a murderer,' with both commentators vouching for him and such professional explanations, the tide had turned. Even if they continued to argue, no one would pay attention, so they simply faded into silence, waiting for another opportunity to speak.
On the island, the captain of the rescue team learned of Mu Zi's condition from Jiang Fan. Although he wanted to reprimand the man for his audacity, he ultimately said nothing.
The last batch of rescue personnel then left with Mu Zi, and the bamboo house was closed.
The flickering campfire, which had been almost extinguished by the wind, stabilized once the door was closed, continuing to provide warmth inside.
The three people who had been woken up earlier finally had a chance to rest.
Dai Xiaomei and Zhou Niannian, having slept for an hour, felt a bit more energetic.
They couldn't sleep for a while, so they sat by the campfire with Jiang Fan, the three of them in silence.
Jiang Fan had sorted out his thoughts and now only had the task of keeping watch.
He stared into the flames, his mind blank.
Zhou Niannian couldn't bear the atmosphere and initiated a conversation with Dai Xiaomei.
"What exactly happened to you earlier? How did Mu Zi get so badly injured and poisoned?"
Her words jolted Dai Xiaomei, who had been lost in thought, back to reality.
Recalling the perilous moment earlier, Dai Xiaomei couldn't help but feel a pang of fear, hugging herself tighter.
But with Mu Zi already sent away, her spirits had stabilized somewhat.
Opening her mouth, Dai Xiaomei briefly recounted what they had experienced, glossing over the part about the falling tree and Mu Zi saving her.
After all, she was still struggling to overcome the trauma.
This trauma was something that only Dai Xiaomei herself could resolve.
"I really didn't want to participate in this damned survival competition. If it weren't for that email, I really wouldn't have..."
Dai Xiaomei's last words were tinged with a sob, as if she were on the verge of tears.
All Zhou Niannian could do was pat her shoulder and ask,
"You're talking about the email that told you to participate in the competition, the one where you can't tell anyone, or else your streamer account will be permanently banned, and you'll be held accountable?"
"Yes, I'm not interested in wilderness survival or anything like that, but that email was sent by Shark Official. Shark Official... I..."
Dai Xiaomei didn't finish her sentence, but her words were filled with resentment towards Shark Official.
Who would want to come to this uninhabited island and face danger instead of enjoying modern life?
Especially with so many cameras scattered across the island, it felt less like a live broadcast of their survival and more like surveillance.
Under this surveillance, even the topic of the email couldn't be discussed, becoming a sensitive issue.
This realization tormented her, driving her to the brink of madness.
Unable to bear it any longer, Dai Xiaomei even contemplated being eliminated along with Mu Zi.
But an inner voice seemed to be watching her, monitoring her, making it difficult for her to press the 'give up' button, difficult to truly surrender.
Now that Mu Zi was gone, she might have to live alone in the rainforest. This thought was about to shatter her mental fortitude.
As Dai Xiaomei spoke, tears began to stream down her face, and she sobbed silently.
Only when she was out of the camera's view could she be herself again, could she relax a little.
"This is like The Truman Show, constantly being monitored, yet they don't tell us what they want, leaving us struggling like headless flies in this place."
"I really... I'm so tired of it!"
Dai Xiaomei's eyes were red, her tone agitated, as if she were on the verge of a breakdown.
Such a mental state was on the verge of madness.
Zhou Niannian didn't know how to handle it.
Jiang Fan, however, remained calm.
Considering the system's unusual reaction and the suspicious behavior of the competition officials, he thought for a moment.
After Dai Xiaomei finished speaking, he suddenly said,
"Perhaps they don't know what they're looking for either?"
Jiang Fan's words immediately drew the attention of the two women.
They both looked at Jiang Fan, waiting for him to elaborate.
