Thunder and lightning filled the sky above the rainforest, accompanied by a downpour that engulfed the entire deserted island.
Apart from Jiang Fan, who had prepared for it, the remaining 99 streamers were caught unprepared.
All of them were taught a lesson by the unpredictable weather in the rainforest.
If there were places to shelter from the rain nearby, they could have avoided the awkwardness of being constantly drenched.
But no one was sure if there would be indigenous people also seeking shelter.
It was better not to know, as encountering them face-to-face would be more than just awkward.
On the large screen in the studio, embarrassing moments of other guests were being broadcast non-stop.
Teacher Piao and Xiao Zhongma danced a duet wildly in the rain, trying to collect water with their clothes.
Mu Zi and Dai Xiao Mei huddled under a tree to escape the rain, their expressions awkward as they avoided looking at the two clowns in the rain—
only to lock eyes with a snake.
"Ah!!!"
Two screams echoed in the rain.
Da Ma Hou climbed a tree, attempting to use its large canopy to block the rain, but had a historic encounter with monkeys in the tree.
The female monkey tilted its head, seemingly about to come over to 'recognize kinship.'
The female streamer Guan Zi Jie nearby had given up struggling. Enduring the rain, she looked at the commotion above and murmured.
"Should I prepare a paternity test for them or something?"
Out of a hundred streamers, only a few found tree hollows to shelter in, huddling together and shivering.
Most of the others were jumping and splashing in the rain, creating quite a spectacle.
Each streamer's reaction was enough to elicit bursts of laughter, each moment a classic.
Lele in the studio couldn't stop laughing.
Bear Grylls was also amused by the streamers' various actions.
As expected of streamers under Dragon Country's largest live-streaming platform, each one had a great sense of humor.
Even though most of them were novices in wilderness survival, their performances kept things from being boring.
Watching this group struggle for survival in the wild was quite entertaining.
The miserable state of the streamers was broadcast on the screen in rotation, and a group of viewers with lightning-fast fingers began screen-recording.
Lin Yang in the dormitory was laughing so hard he could barely stand.
He leaned on Zhou Ye's shoulder, bent over with laughter.
"Oh my god, this is too absurd. A paternity test with monkeys, that's hilarious."
"And Yan Xi, who used to joke about snakes, is now so afraid of them, hahaha."
Lin Yang's stomach hurt from laughing, but he didn't want to miss any of the other streamers' spectacular moments.
Zhou Ye, who was acting as his support, watched the screen thoughtfully and muttered softly.
"With so much footage, it would be hilarious to make meme videos."
Hearing him, Lin Yang immediately clutched his aching stomach and patted Zhou Ye's shoulder, as if handing over the throne.
"Zhou Ye, I almost forgot, you, you seemingly earnest fellow, are also a meme video creator."
"Make! Make the videos! Give them all one, I even recorded a lot of footage before, enough for you to make a month's worth of unique meme videos!"
The two hit it off and decided to act immediately.
The sudden downpour hadn't stopped, and the streamers struggling to shelter from the rain in the rainforest were unaware.
Their experiences were already flooding the meme sections of major video websites!

Each eye-catching tag, when clicked, would surely make viewers laugh until their stomachs hurt.
More people flocked to the live streams because of these videos.
The barrage of comments in the live chat once again exploded.
"Came from the meme section to watch Brother Jiang."
"I was wondering why Sister Guan Zi hasn't been streaming recently, turns out she was watching monkeys."
"Big Monkey is looking for his family, a rocket gift is like a congratulatory present."
"As expected of Teacher Piao, that move is truly impressive! I'm a fan."
A group of new viewers appeared in the live stream, also enjoying the chaos.
With more viewers came more gifts, each one exploding in the live stream like fireworks.
In the last minute alone, the gift revenue in the live stream exceeded one million.
The backend staff were all smiles.
This was the influence of the platform's major streamers combined.
Genuine!
The surrounding staff were beaming, and the director, trying to suppress his smile, instructed.
"Alright, now is not the time to celebrate, focus on the contestants' situations."
"There might be many accidents after the heavy rain, rescue teams, be ready to respond at any moment."
At the director's command, the rescue personnel also began to prepare.
Unlike the streamers, they had excellent outdoor equipment, allowing them to move with ease in the rainforest.
Meanwhile, in the studio, the discussion also turned to the aftermath of the rain.
"Bear Grylls, as we all know, the rainforest becomes very dangerous after it rains."
"Could you tell us specifically about the dangers?"
While the rain was still falling, Lele took the opportunity to ask Bear Grylls for some insights.
With his extensive experience, Bear Grylls' mind was filled with relevant knowledge upon seeing the rainforest.
"The greatest characteristic of a rainforest is its frequent rainfall and high humidity. Although it's not a tropical region and the climate isn't extremely hot, it's still very unfavorable for human survival."
"You must understand that in an environment with high humidity and temperature, food spoils faster, bacteria can easily breed, and prolonged exposure to excessive humidity can lead to illness."
"After the rain, an increase in insects is also a major problem. Blood-sucking and biting insects alone are enough to eliminate contestants."
"Moreover, the rainforest is full of venomous insects, and a bite can even be life-threatening."
Bear Grylls' explanation made the viewers realize the difficulty of surviving in the rainforest.
These hundred streamers likely wouldn't have an easy time in the rainforest.
But they enjoyed watching it!
They loved seeing these streamers pushed to their limits; the worse off, the better.
True fans often enjoyed watching their favorite streamers face misfortune.
Lele, seeing the active fan bases in the live chat, couldn't help but recall this saying.
She pursed her lips and smiled, then asked.
"Since the rainforest is full of dangers after the rain, are there any ways to mitigate these dangers?"
"Of course, by using fire to dry clothes. Fire can also keep some insects away."
Bear Grylls answered without hesitation and then smiled.
"However, starting a fire with wet wood becomes exponentially more difficult, so the contestants will have to work harder."
He had been influenced by the audience and was also looking forward to the entertainment.
Lele, well aware of this, suppressed her rising smile and explained.
"After a heavy rain, water becomes easily accessible, and starting a fire is the top priority."
"This rain is almost over, let's see how the contestants perform."
As she spoke, the live stream switched to the cameras of various streamers.
