Chapter 306 Tracking the Female Corpse in the Frozen Lake
Just an hour earlier, during the live broadcast of "Rules of Survival in the Desert," Jia Yao accidentally tore his hunter's suit, revealing his stunning red thermal underwear underneath. This iconic moment had already gone viral, and the Arctic Brand Department immediately signed a contract and airlifted the new product to the recording site.

The assistant director patted Jia Yao on the shoulder: "A major brand with such high national recognition has come knocking on your door so quickly. This is top-tier treatment. Jia Yao, aren't you happy?"

"Nobody else has one!"

Jia Yao couldn't muster a smile.

He could already imagine how popular his famous moment of tearing off the slit in his designer clothes had become just an hour ago.

They lost face.

The camera abruptly cut to the sidelines—the agent was pretending to be engrossed in scrolling through his phone, and after sensing Jia Yao's gaze, he coughed tactically: "Um... the endorsement fee they offered was just too much..."

Jia Yao clutched his head in despair: "I'm an idol! I'm going for the fashion route!"

"The ultimate goal of fashion is practicality!" the agent suddenly declared confidently. "Think about it, from now on, when people see red clothes, they'll think of you, and when they see thermal underwear, they'll think, 'Don't go!'"

Jia Yao was eventually caught by his manager and brought back to continue the Great Adventure punishment challenge. His trembling hands pulled out a task card from the Great Adventure task box: "Wear the Arctic Warm Homewear Series and imitate a snow chicken hatching eggs?"

"What kind of crazy adventure challenge is this? Can I draw another one?"

The staff member, barely suppressing a laugh, asked in a trembling voice, "Other options include wearing clothes for doing radio calisthenics or performing the Yangko dance... Do you want to draw again?"

Ten minutes later, Jia Yao appeared wearing bright red Arctic Man thermal pajamas, with Arctic Man thermal underwear underneath.

[Jia Yao's outfit instantly transformed him from a handsome idol into the village bumpkin.]

I wore this when I went downstairs to throw out the trash during the Chinese New Year.

[To be able to withstand such cold weather in Xishan, it does look quite warm!]

[Did the advertisers have Jia Yao wearing thermal pajamas to incubate eggs to make everyone think those pajamas are actually warm? What an advertising genius!]

The production team prepared a large nest, and inside the nest were a nest of eggs.

Jia Yao lay on his nest, arms outstretched in despair: "Gurgle—"

His red clothes stood out in the sunlight, and his nest was full of eggs. As he moved, several rolled out and onto the snow.

After a while, the snow chicken, who had just finished its shift at the Snow Maze, was attracted by the bright red color on Jia Yao's body and curiously gathered around him, tilting its head.

As another egg rolled off Jia Yao's back, the lead snow chicken suddenly clucked twice and mimicked his posture, lying down on the egg.

Seeing this, the other snow chickens followed suit, lining up in a circle around Jia Yao and earnestly beginning to "incubate the eggs."

Jia Yao suddenly went from being a lonely hen incubating her eggs to becoming the leader of a group of hens surrounded by snow chickens, which was quite prestigious.

"Wait... don't do this!" Jia Yao looked at the group of enthusiastic snow chickens with tears in his eyes. He could already imagine the magnificent scene of these snow chickens helping him incubate his eggs, which would definitely make him even more famous.

He admitted that he went on the show to become famous, for traffic and popularity, but not in this way!
The snow chickens recognized Xu Ying, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines. They chattered and talked to Xu Ying while incubating their eggs.

[Station Chief Xu, this mother hen is so pitiful!]

[They laid so many eggs, especially in winter; they can't incubate them all.]
[Station Chief Xu, why does this mother hen look so strange!]

[Its feathers are all fiery red, and its head is human—how terrifying!]
Xu Ying didn't know how to explain that they were doing a variety show challenge, and Xueji's little brain might not be able to understand.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Ying replied in a serious tone, "He, he is playing the role of a turkey, learning the skills of turkeys incubating eggs."

The enthusiastic snow chickens seemed to understand, but not quite: [He looks overwhelmed!]
Tell him not to worry, we will help him.

Xu Ying was holding back her laughter until her stomach hurt: "Then I'll thank you on his behalf."

The live chat was flooded with comments: [Snow Chicken: I'm good at this, let me do it!]

[Jia Yao's job got stolen by the snow chicken, hahaha]

[Hahaha, Station Master Xu actually called Jia Yao a turkey, that's hilarious!]

The snow chickens are so kind! All the little animals on the snow mountain are so lovable~

Seeing Jia Yao's embarrassed and indignant expression, Xu Ying couldn't help but chuckle and explain to Jia Yao, "Snow chickens have a body temperature 3 degrees higher than humans, making them more professional 'incubators.' They're afraid that if you incubate the eggs in the snow like this, they'll freeze them."

Jia Yao looked at the serious-looking snow chickens around him and silently wrapped his thermal underwear tighter around himself: "Fine. At least it proves this clothing is indeed warm."

When Jia Yao finally finished his egg-hatching experience, his agent was on the sidelines, crying tears of joy: "Jia Yao, another well-known fresh food supplier has asked you to be their spokesperson!"

"Look! This is commercial value!"

"The artists I manage are just awesome!"

Jia Yao's vision went black: "Am I going to have to film another commercial with chickens while wearing thermal underwear?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The second episode of "Rules of Survival in the Desert" came to a successful close amidst such a joyful atmosphere.

Xu Ying had dinner with the production crew and then drove her snowmobile back to the snow mountain rescue station.

The snow mountain rescue station was built later and is in much better condition than her desert rescue station. However, due to insufficient funding to support its operation, the rescue station has not been put into use since its construction.

The second season of "Rules of Survival in the Desert" continues to see high ratings! Following the huge success of the first episode, the production team selected the snow-capped mountains as the filming location for the second episode, and the Xizhou Provincial Government, together with the production team, immediately injected special funds into the snow-capped mountain rescue station.

With the show's current popularity, the long-term operating funds for the rescue station are finally secured.

Xu Ying will stay at the snow mountain rescue station for a week to arrange the daily affairs of the snow mountain rescue station, and then return to the desert rescue station.

In early spring, she returned to the snow-capped mountains and planted snow lotus with the local animals, making all the arrangements perfectly clear.

Xu Ying slept soundly in the warm and tidy dormitory of the snow mountain rescue station.

The next morning, she was awakened by a phone call.

It was Ji Xuehui who made the call.

"Station Chief Xu, the conditions on the frozen lake are suitable for retrieving the body today. Could you please come over and lend a hand?"

"Our police force needs your and the otter's help."

Xu Ying jumped out of bed in one gulp: "Okay, I'll be right there!"

After a quick wash, Xu Ying got ready and went out. She walked towards the snowmobile sponsored by Qi Xiao, opened the storage compartment, and was about to put her toolbox inside when she found it was already crammed full—

Packaged nuts, beef jerky, milk, energy drinks... all kinds of food and beverages are neatly arranged.

Xu Ying was taken aback, then realized that this was probably Qi Xiao's arrangement as well.

A slight smile played on her lips, a warm feeling welling up inside her. This was good; she didn't even need to prepare her own food supplies.

Upon arriving at the frozen lake, Ji Xuehui and several salvage workers were already there.

Ji Xuehui handed Xu Ying a cup of hot soy milk: "Based on the underwater video taken that day, we have identified the female corpse."
