Chapter 40: Failed Rescue

“Reward: This tomb now belongs to the Host.”

Ding!

“Detected that Host’s body is weak. Please get treated promptly.”

The mechanical voice immediately disappeared. David opened his eyes and moved.

He saw Luca walking toward him, but with his earlier movement, some sudden changes happened right where his body was.

He and his surroundings fell downwards, directly landing below.

Luca came running, but the rocks ahead of it quickly blocked its path.

Chi chi chi chi…

Luca let out an anxious call and constantly searched around.

The people in the livestream were dumbfounded. They were initially going to cheer for David.

Who would have known that the spot he was in would suddenly sink in, and his entire being would fall straight in?

There were also so many rocks that had fallen with him. Even if he didn’t die from the fall, he would be smashed to death by those rocks.

“No way? He could have won in the first place, and now you’re telling me that there was an accident?”

“Boohoohoo, my David. I don’t want you to die. Come back here.”

“I’m your fan. I want you to live well. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

“What’s going on with the organizers this time? Why did they choose such a dangerous place?”

“Those ancient monsters are not something that ordinary people can bear. After such a huge incident, shouldn’t we bring the participants back?”

“Are human lives so worthless? We have to collectively boycott such programs. We can’t let such programs continue.”

Because David had fallen into the abyss, voices of opposition appeared on the Internet.

They all felt that this program was too cruel, that it shouldn’t be like this.

In the first two seasons, all that the participants encountered were some wild beasts. As long as they had some capabilities, it was easy to deal with them.

But this time, everything that everyone encountered were monsters. How could they possibly deal with such huge creatures?

The organizers received the same information and began to formulate new plans.

One of the planners for this program, Richard, saw that the amount of negative news on the Internet was increasing.

They knew that they had gone a little too far this time. They did not expect there to be such a terrifying monster on the island either.

Hence, he instructed the public relations manager to release the news that they would immediately get helicopters and ships to carry out rescues.

Ally sat in the livestream and said to the viewers, “Don’t be anxious. We’ve already sent out ships and helicopters. We’ll get them out very soon.”

Wade nodded and said, “The incident this time was beyond all of our expectations. We didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”

Ally said, “The participants was supposed to persevere for 100 days in this program. They did that for 11 days. They’re already considered very brave warriors.”

Wade said, “The organizers have decided that those who can return will be rewarded with the prize money for 100 days, which is a million dollars per person.”

When this news was released, the voices from the outside world also toned down. Others finally had a chance to speak.

“We want to see such scenes, that’s why we’re supporting you. Why aren’t you letting us continue to watch?”

“You’re right. Didn’t they agree to sign a liability waiver before they left? Why are you going back on your word?”

“If you can’t even keep to what you’ve said, then don’t produce such programs anymore. You can’t even do it properly.”

Because of David, opinions from two extremes ends appeared on the Internet. Every person made sense.

The organizers did not dare to joke with this matter. That was a monster, not a beast.

There weren’t many people like David who could defeat others. How could the others be a match for the monsters?

In just a short period of time, they had already lost more than 20 people, leaving only about 70 people.

How could they survive when there were monsters walking around?

Therefore, they could only put a stop to things immediately to patch up their negligence in the checking of the island.

The luxury cruise was actually not far away. They started to move forward.

Captain Amos looked through his binoculars at the pirates, who were not far away.

He did not expect the situation to change so quickly, but the monsters on the island were indeed terrifying.

At this moment, a sailor hurriedly ran in. “Captain, something bad has happened. The bottom of our ship has been attacked by a type of fish.”

Amos asked in surprise, “What did you say? A fish attack?”

“Yes, they are gnawing at the bottom of our ship,” said the sailor hastily.

Amos picked up the binoculars and headed down. He had to see what was going on.

When they reached the bottom, they discovered that there were countless small fish here. They had gathered together and were rapidly gnawing at the bottom of the ship.

Amos’ eyes widened in shock at the sight. “What is this?”

The other people on the ship also saw this scene and were startled.

One of the young men also liked watching this survival show.

When he saw those small fish, he was extremely shocked and shared, “These are a type of piranha. They may seem especially small but they can make you disappear instantly without a single bit of bone remaining.”

When the others heard this, they asked curiously, “Since they are piranhas, why are they eating wood?”

“Maybe they’re not picky about food?” another replied.

Amos saw that the situation was rather complicated and felt that something was amiss.

He picked up the binoculars and found countless sharks swimming towards him.

Those at the front had already begun to ram into his ship.

It would have been fine if there was only one, but there were at least ten of them. A chill instantly went down his spine.

He immediately instructed, “Quick, turn the ship around and leave these waters immediately.”

The cruise ship turned around quickly but was still getting attacked by the fishes.

The people on the ship were terrified, especially when they lowered their heads to look at the water. They were shocked to discover that there were suddenly many unknown fishes on the seabed that had been very calm just a while ago.

Those fishes all had extremely sharp teeth. There were many of them, and their mouths were wide open.

Some people were even dragged into the water by a fish that jumped up because they were too focused on the sight.

They did not dare to stay any longer and fled with the broken ship.

At this moment, the helicopter also encountered some difficulties. They had just flown to the vicinity of the island when they discovered countless birds circling around.

All of them were constantly circling around the island, tightly surrounding the like a dark cloud. There was not a single gap for the helicopter to enter.

The helicopters took off in all directions and searched the huge island for a long time.

However, they still could not find a spot to enter.

Finally, they announced that the rescue had failed!
