I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 295 Offensive and Defensive Battle
The sound of snow being compacted underfoot echoed through the pine forest as Chen Su walked in with steady steps.

The crisp lines of his police uniform trousers cut through the biting mountain wind, and the silver police badge swayed gently with his steps.

His slender fingers hooked around an elegant paper tote bag, and two imposing forest rangers followed behind him.

"Madam, the sable is a Class I protected animal in China."

Chen Su swiftly revealed the handcuffs, the metal gleaming coldly in the sunlight. "According to Article 44 of the Wildlife Protection Law, you are suspected of abusing wild animals. Please cooperate with the investigation."

With a crisp click, the stainless steel handcuffs precisely secured Tina's wrists. The once arrogant internet celebrity finally panicked: "Officer, this is all a misunderstanding! Please let me explain."

Chen Su raised an eyebrow slightly: "May I ask where exactly the misunderstanding lies?"

With just one simple sentence, Tina was left speechless.

"People should have a sense of awe for nature." After saying this, Chen Su gestured to two forest police officers to take Tina and her team members away.

As he was leaving, he glanced at Xu Ying and handed her the paper bag: "You must be hungry after filming all morning, right? Have something to eat first."

Xu Ying then noticed it was already 11:30, and her stomach began to protest. She took the paper bag and asked curiously, "What's this?"

"I brought some of the flower-shaped pastries that the scenic area gave to the staff as a token of their appreciation." Chen Su glanced at his watch, the dial reflecting a cold light from the glacier's surface. "I still need to organize case files later, so I'll be going now."

He waved to Xu Ying, his tall figure gradually disappearing into the shadows of the cedar forest.

Xu Ying opened the paper bag, inside which were several neatly arranged, exquisitely packaged pastries and a bottle of warm milk.

Just as she was rummaging through the straws, a red-haired head suddenly peered over.

"Wow, Station Master Xu, what's this?"

Lu Jinyu blinked. He had been listening intently when Chen Su spoke, but now he was pretending to be innocent.

Xu Ying handed him a pastry with a disgusted expression: "Here you go."

Extremely hungry, Lu Jinyu opened the package and ate without any hesitation.

Just then, a warbler gracefully landed on his shoulder, its fluffy little head nuzzling affectionately against his neck, chirping softly.

"You want some too? Or are you trying to steal my pancake?"

Lu Jinyu looked wary, but still picked up some crumbs and placed them in his palm. "You promised, you're not allowed to peck me!"

"I really won't steal your boyfriend!" he emphasized to the bird. "You can also take a small piece of this cake to give to your goddess!"

Xu Ying couldn't help but chuckle: "It's expressing affection. After your courageous intervention, its impression of you has changed."

Lu Jinyu looked down at the little bird pecking at its food in his palm, a strange sense of pride welling up inside him. He tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, maintaining his cool and handsome image: "Hmph, this bird is quite sensible, it has good taste."

The colorful warbler seemed to understand his words, tilting its little head and chirping, its seven-colored feathers shimmering in the sunlight.

The show was full of exciting moments and maintained high ratings, with the final segment in the afternoon bringing it to a climax.

After their lunch break, the guests gathered on the mountainside of the snow-capped mountain.

Behind us, the newly built Snow Maze in Xishan Scenic Area stands majestically, covering almost half of the mountainside, and from a distance it looks like a fantastic forest forged from ice and snow.

At the entrance to the maze hangs an ancient wooden plaque with the four characters "Snowy Maze" carved in vigorous characters. The edges are decorated with frost patterns, making it look both mysterious and grand.

This is a newly built "Snowy Maze" attraction in Xishan Scenic Area, designed to alleviate the pressure of large visitor numbers during peak season. The Snowy Maze includes scenes such as frozen soil, ice bridges, and snow caves, similar to a snow and ice amusement park. Ticket revenue is used to maintain the ecological fund turnover of the scenic area, and it's a good opportunity to promote the area with the popularity of the TV show.

Seeing that Xu Ying hadn't taken out the task card yet, Ye Jie couldn't help but ask curiously, "Station Chief Xu, what is the last task of our 'Desert Survival Rules' Season 2?"

Su Zhining looked pained: "Isn't it exhausting? You have to set aside a whole afternoon, oh my god. Laying moss squares and picking up trash this morning was already tiring enough!"

Xu Ying spread her hands innocently: "Actually, I don't know either. The production team didn't tell me about the last step of the process."

She looked at the directing team behind the camera: "Directors, hurry up and announce the mission, stop keeping us in suspense!"

The assistant director, holding a megaphone, announced: "Our last activity is the Snow Maze name tag ripping game!"

A maze? A name tag ripping game?

The netizens' curiosity was immediately piqued.

Wow, this is exciting! I've never seen guests on a show actually fight like this before!

[Can we see Captain Chen or Brother Qi in this segment? I'd love to see a clash of titans!]

When Brother Qi donated the snowmobiles, didn't he say he'd be on the show the next day after filming? So that means he'll be appearing in the last segment of today's show!

"Behind you all is the Snow Maze, a newly built attraction in the Xishan Scenic Area!"

"The six guests will be divided into two teams, the attacking team and the defending team. The defending team, the Snow Mountain Guard, is responsible for escorting the prop, the Heart of the Snowfield, from the starting point of the maze to the finish line safely and smoothly. The defending team wins if the Heart of the Snowfield cannot be taken away or destroyed by the attacking team."

The assistant director then took out the Heart of the Snow Region, which was a round crystal ball containing a porcelain snow lotus from the Western Mountains.

"The attacking team is the Glacier Hunters, who will be randomly assigned to any location in the Snow Labyrinth."

"We can use the name tag ripping game to eliminate the defending team members and prevent them from carrying the Heart of the Snowfield to the finish line."

"The defenders can only evade the attackers' attacks; they cannot retaliate."

"All defending players have been eliminated, and the attacking team wins."

After the assistant director read out the rule, the guests immediately raised objections.

Ye Jie was well aware of her own strength: "Isn't this unfair to the defending team? Wouldn't the defending players become lambs to the slaughter?"

The assistant director chuckled: "Of course it's not just that, the defending team has a cheat code!"

The program's lights shone on Xu Ying.

Xu Ying roughly understood that he must be a member of the defending team.

If you are the attacker, you can use the information provided by the animals in the maze to "encircle and eliminate" all the defenders shortly after the game starts.

"There will be many small animal NPCs in the Snowfield Maze. They will provide information to the defending team, such as seeing the attacking team members or where hidden items are hidden."

The assistant director said mysteriously, "The defending team member who gets the hidden item can launch a counterattack, tear off the name tag of the attacking team member, and eliminate them."

"And our Station Master Xu, who is fluent in animal language, will automatically become the ace of the defending Snow Mountain Guard Team!"

Staff members presented Xu Ying with the ace medal of the Snow Mountain Guard Team.
