You were asked to be on a dating variety show, but all the guests failed?

Chapter 73 This is Man-Made
Han Fei did not lie when he jumped into the water to save people. When he was in high school in his previous life, he often took advantage of the holidays to participate in rescue team activities organized by spontaneous civilian organizations.

The rescue team is non-profit and of considerable size. Although Han Fei's father had left home by then and his mother raised him alone, she never interfered with his participation in these activities, even though he could not make any money and sometimes even had to pay for it himself. But she knew that Han Fei was determined to become a police officer in the future, and it would never hurt to have more training.

High school students are very busy and there are not many situations where they can participate. However, he happened to have participated in both flood rescue and mountain search and rescue of climbers, so he also has some basic knowledge about wilderness survival.

The red-tailed pit viper is not the most poisonous, but it is also very dangerous, especially in southern Sichuan Province.

Generally speaking, for poisonous snakes that frequently appear in the province, even if the nearby hospital does not have serum, finding a few more hospitals to prepare can save lives. But if this snake is not a local product, then things will be difficult to deal with. Even if the toxicity of the bamboo leaf green snake is not strong, it will still cause trouble if there is no serum for a long time. What's more, this snake is very close to Qi Qingyi's neck. If it is not handled properly, it may cost someone's life.

There are bamboo pit vipers in southern Sichuan Province. Maybe the toxins of bamboo pit vipers and red-tailed bamboo pit vipers are similar? He didn't know. He only learned a little bit about it. It was a bit difficult to distinguish them. Besides, he didn't dare to gamble.

Cold sweat oozed from Han Fei's forehead.

If he had encountered this situation himself, it wouldn't be a big problem. Anyway, whether he handled it properly or not was his own choice, and he couldn't blame anyone else. But now the one in most danger was Qi Qingyi, not him. He had to be responsible for this life.

"Let's...let's act cautiously."

Han Fei slowed down his breathing and tried to keep his voice steady:

"Qi Qingyi, just like me, move slowly to the left. Don't make any big movements. Don't panic. Don't speak loudly. Stay calm. Just keep walking until I tell you to stop."

Qi Qingyi's face had turned pale, but she had no other choice.

She probably guessed what was behind her, and she also knew that since she had no experience in dealing with it, it would be best to trust Han Fei. Although this man was always mean, he was always reliable when it came to serious matters.

Her neck was stiff, like a puppet, not daring to nod:
"well."

The speed of movement was extremely slow. It was only a few meters to the left, but Qi Qingyi felt as if a century had passed, which was more tiring than running a physical test at school.

"Okay."

Only after she retreated to a safe distance did Han Fei finally call for a stop.

Qi Qingyi turned her head slowly, her neck so stiff that it made a cracking sound, and looked towards the place where she had just stood.

A snake with a green body and a red tail had two-thirds of its body coiled on the bamboo, its head resting on a neighboring branch, and its two black bean-like eyes staring at them without any emotion.

She shuddered violently, her voice dry:
"Just now, how far was I from it?"

Han Fei put his hands together and gestured.

“It’s just this short distance.”

"Okay, it should be fine now. Generally, if you encounter a snake in the wild, as long as you don't step on it, just stay calm and be careful and leave as soon as possible without angering it."

"Normally, we should spray some insect and snake repellent on our bodies when we go up the mountain. I don't know what happened today..."

"The production team is quite thorough. They have already filed a report with the authorities. It doesn't make sense for them to not take precautions when they know there are dangers on the mountain."

Qi Qingyi's little face was so frightened that it hasn't regained its color yet.

She grunted for a long time and whispered:

“I don’t know if the live broadcast room is open, and whether the production crew saw us encountering a poisonous snake… If they did, please send someone to check if there are any other dangerous animals here. We are just filming a romance show and playing a real-life CS game, and we never thought about surviving in the wilderness.” These words were already a very serious warning.

In front of the live audience, the guest denounced the program crew for disregarding the guests' safety. In other circumstances, this might have caused heated discussions, and some people would have scolded her for being arrogant. However, now that everyone has witnessed with their own eyes how dangerous it was, no one scolded her. Instead, the comments were filled with doubts about the program crew.

Just when the production crew was about to be scolded, Han Fei suddenly shook his head and said:

“I don’t think this is the problem of the program team.”

Qi Qingyi frowned and looked at him, not understanding why he suddenly spoke for this crappy program crew.

He had clearly read the script and the writers of this show were the most malicious towards him, and even used his suspected mental illness as a gimmick to ignite conflict. Han Fei actually spoke well of these people? If there was no other reason, then it must be the real Holy Father who was alive!

Han Fei thought about it, and gently raised the GoPro on his chest towards Zhuyeqing so that the audience could see it more clearly - if there was still a signal.

"As far as I know, there are bamboo pit vipers in southern Sichuan, but there is no red-tailed bamboo pit viper."

"The production team dared to let us, who are not good at surviving in the wild, go up the mountain in teams of two. They must have done a risk assessment. Cangyun Mountain is very close to the village. There must have been people who went up the mountain to chop firewood in this kind of village before, and maybe planted fruit trees? In any case, this can't be a deserted place with poisonous snakes."

"They probably conducted an emergency investigation, but perhaps they didn't conduct a thorough investigation due to time constraints. However, I think it is more likely that someone did it with malicious intent."

"Qi Qingyi, take a close look at the snake, look at the sides of its head, don't you feel something is wrong?"

Qi Qingyi looked at it blankly for a long time but didn't find anything wrong.

She was afraid of these kinds of reptiles to begin with, and had just been frightened to death, so how could she dare to take a closer look at it now?

Han Fei explained helplessly:

"There are depressions on its cheeks where the venom glands are."

"There are many green snakes. The heads of ordinary non-venomous green snakes are not like this. They are a bit oval, but their heads are triangular. Of course there are other differences, but this is the most obvious one."

"The protruding parts of its cheeks are where the venom glands are. Some reptile lovers who like venomous snakes but are afraid of being bitten will perform surgery to remove the venom glands... Don't ask me why they don't extract the teeth. I asked them when I was curious, and their answer was that snakes should have teeth, otherwise they are not snakes."

"Do you see the difference now?"

Qi Qingyi was stunned, then she resisted the urge to get goosebumps all over her body and looked at the lazy snake again.

Its cheeks are indeed a little sunken, and you can't see it at all unless you look carefully.

That would be even more terrifying.

She touched her forearm, trying to suppress the goose bumps through her clothes, her voice trembling:
"You mean, this snake was bred in captivity... someone wants to harm us?"

Han Fei shook his head again.

"I only said the first half of the sentence. The second half is a guess."

"Let's find a safe place to rest now, and then call the production team."
