Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 561 Kim Tae-yeon: Suzy, Ji-eun, it's me, unnie!

Three minutes later, the game officially began.

Standing on the shore, Chen Yan, Lee Ji-eun, and Song Ji-hyo exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

"Beep-"

As soon as the whistle blew, everyone quickly entered the water and rushed towards the floating island in the middle of the pool.

The melee began instantly, with Chen Yan and his two companions caught in the middle, seemingly participating but actually just slacking off.

After a difficult and chaotic battle, Girl's Day's Minah and Apink's Naeun finally prevailed.

Kim Jong-kook originally wanted to pull Son Na-eun down as well, but the girl instinctively shouted "No!"

Hearing her soft, sweet voice, the man's heart softened instantly, and he let her go.

After a short rest, the second round began.

In this round, Chen Yan and his two companions adopted a wait-and-see strategy, remaining on the periphery.

Aside from immediately pulling Chi Suk-jin down from the floating island after his difficult ascent, Chen Yan did nothing else.

Soon, the second round entered its countdown, with Kim Jong-kook, Girl's Day's Ah-young, Lee Kwang-soo, and Haha all on stage.

With Girl's Day about to be approved by everyone, everyone launched an attack on the two of them.

Chen Yan glanced at Kim Ah-young, then immediately gave Lee Ji-eun and Song Ji-hyo, who were not far away, a look.

The two understood each other and immediately extended their hands to Kim Ah-young.

Kim Jong-kook tried to retaliate, but was stopped by Chen Yan, who was prepared.

On the other side, seeing that Kim Jong-kook was being held back by Chen Yan, Haha and Kang Gary immediately looked at Bae Suzy and Jung Eun-ji, signaling them to come up quickly.

Bae Suzy grabbed Haha's outstretched hand, and with her other hand she braced herself against the edge of the floating island, just as she was about to climb up with all her might.

Suddenly, a pulling force came from behind.

"what!"

She cried out in surprise, quickly regained her balance, and glanced back.

Behind her, Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah were each holding one of her legs, smiling and winking at her.

Bae Suzy paused, instantly losing her temper, and could only call out in a cutesy voice, "Unnie~"

What have I done to deserve that you two would join forces against me?

Im Yoona smiled, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Jung Eunji had already grabbed Kang Gary's hand and was about to climb onto the floating island. She quickly let go of Bae Suzy's leg and pulled Jung Eunji with all her might.

I can't let you go up there; I'm aiming for first place.

Just as Jung Eun-ji was about to climb up, a strong force suddenly came from above.

She instinctively widened her eyes: "Ah! Oppa!"

"Oh no!"

Feeling the unexpected pull, Gary on stage was also taken aback and quickly prepared to exert force again.

Seeing that Kim Tae-yeon was clinging tightly to Bae Suzy's leg, Haha immediately gave up and quickly pushed Kang Gary next to him.

Gary slipped and fell into the water, dragging Eunji down with him.

"Beep-"

The countdown ended with a sound.

Only Kim Jong-kook and Haha were left to pass through the floating island, while Kim Ah-young was pulled down by Lee Ji-eun and Song Ji-hyo.

Back on shore to rest, Lin Yoona glanced at Chen Yan, and seeing that he wasn't looking this way, she said to Kim Tae-yeon, who was slightly out of breath beside her:

“Unnie, let’s split up. You go find Tao and Soojung, and I’ll go find Suzy.”

She had already figured out what Chen Yan was up to, and now was the perfect time to put her plan into action.

"it is good."

Kim Tae-yeon nodded, got up, and walked towards Tao and Soo-jung.

Yoona walked over to Bae Suzy and whispered a few words to her when the opportunity arose.

Bae Suzy widened her eyes slightly, glanced at Lee Ji-eun who was drying her hair, and then nodded her head a few times.

Yoona smiled with satisfaction.

On the other hand, the same thing happened to Taozi and Jung Soo-jung.

The rendezvous, which went unnoticed by anyone, quickly came to an end.

Then, the third round began.

Completely unaware of Lin Yoona's plans, Chen Yan proceeded with his original plan, intending to let Lee Ji-eun pass this round first.

“Ji-eun, you’ll climb up by stepping on my back later.”

"it is good."

Swimming to the side of the floating island, Chen Yan stood still, and Lee Ji-eun immediately grabbed her oppa's shoulder to climb up, with Song Ji-hyo helping from behind.

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream came from behind her. Lee Ji-eun instinctively turned around and saw Jung Soo-jung's hand reaching out to her.

Behind them, Tao and Bae Suzy each grabbed one of Song Ji-hyo's hands, holding her tightly.

"Ah! Soojung, no!"

Lee Ji-eun only had time to let out a scream before Jung Soo-jung pulled her off Chen Yan the moment her hand touched the floating island.

Jung Eun-ji and Kim Ah-young, who were swimming over from the side, stared wide-eyed at the scene in astonishment, and stood frozen in place for a moment.

Chen Yan quickly turned around and was immediately dumbfounded.

Krystal Jung clung tightly to IU, while Tao and Suzy Bae held onto Song Ji-hyo tightly.

What's going on?! How did these people team up?!

Just then, Haha's voice came from the shore: "Brother Zaishi and the other two have all gone up there, stop them!"

Chen Yan immediately turned his head again and saw that Yoo Jae-suk, Lim Yoon-ah, and Kim Tae-yeon had already climbed up from the other side of the floating island.

Not far away, Lee Kwang-soo, Kang Gary, and Ji Suk-jin, who were using dirty tricks to restrain each other, also saw this situation, quickly let go of each other, and swam towards the floating island.

But this was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and Peach, Bae Suzy, and Jung Soo-jung immediately went their separate ways.

After Bae Suzy left, the tall and long-legged Peach immediately hugged Song Ji-hyo with both hands and slightly clamped her legs together, making it impossible for her to move.

"Oh, Sherry, is it really necessary to go this far?"

"Hehe, Ji-hyo unnie, I can't let you win."

Krystal released Lee Ji-eun and immediately swam towards Kang Gary, blocking his way.

"Oh no!"

Gary was startled. He became awkward and hesitant in front of the girl, unable to break through Jung Soo-jung's obstruction for a moment.

On the other side, Lee Kwang-soo also encountered Bae Suzy.

Looking at the situation on the field, he widened his eyes: "When did you guys agree to this? Did you really have to go this far? Don't you want to win?"

Bae Suzy chuckled: "Hehe, don't worry about that, oppa. Anyway, I can't let you go over there."

Lee Kwang-soo really didn't know what to do with her for the time being.

Despite his "dirty tactics" towards the other MCs, he was just as hesitant and reserved as Gary when it came to girls, especially in the water.

As for Ji Suk-jin, no one stopped him.

His own teammate Haha has already passed the test, while Bae Suzy has been turned against him, so he is indeed not much of a threat on his own.

Standing beside the floating island, Chen Yan glanced at the situation on the field and quickly understood what was going on. He then turned to look at Kim Tae-yeon and Lim Yoon-ah on the floating island.

The two women looked at him as if they were telepathically connected, and in the instant their eyes met, they both gave their husbands a smug smile.

Chen Yan couldn't help but smile speechlessly.

I didn't expect these two to resort to tricks, and they even directly mobilized people from the other two teams.

This kind of scene, which is rarely seen even when there are alliances in previous Running Man episodes, appeared in this episode.

Moreover, this alliance is stronger than others can imagine.

On the shore beside them, Kim Jong-kook and his three companions who had already completed the mission, as well as the production crew, all looked on with a sense of amazement.

Clearly, none of them had expected such a scene to unfold. After their initial astonishment, PD Cho Hyo-jin's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

That's a memorable scene.

This episode has already given him quite a few surprises so far.

He has a feeling that this episode will get great ratings, so the post-production team needs to edit it properly.

On the floating island, Lin Yoona turned her gaze to the situation on the field and couldn't help but smile smugly again.

With such capable generals, how can we not achieve our great cause?

With the three of them upstairs now, the only ones who pose a real threat are Jung Eun-ji and Kim Ah-young. Ji Suk-jin, that oppa, is no threat at all.

After struggling with Krystal Jung for a while, Lee Ji-eun was already exhausted.

The countdown started with 15 seconds remaining.

Lin Yoona and the other two quickly switched to a defensive stance. Now was the crucial moment; if they could hold on, they would be number one.

Jung Eun-ji then swam to the side of the floating island.

After exchanging a glance with her, Lim Yoona thought for a moment and said, "Eunji, I can let you come up, but you can't attack us, okay?"

Rather than having another enemy, it's better to let her up first.

Anyway, Gary is already tied up by Krystal, so even if Eun-sang comes up, their group won't be able to get first place.

Jung Eunji turned to look at Kang Gary, who was still being blocked by Jung Soojung not far away, and quickly nodded: "Okay."

Jung Eun-ji climbed up, and Ji Suk-jin tried to climb up as well, but Yoo Jae-suk pushed him back into the water.

Kim Ah-young tried to climb up, but Kim Tae-yeon pushed her down.

With less than ten seconds left on the countdown, Lee Kwang-soo and Kang Gary began their breakout attempt.

"Ah! We can't go that way!"

"Ah! No, Ji-hyo unnie."

"Oppa, no!"

Screams rang out, and the scene suddenly became chaotic again.

Amid the chaos, Chen Yan glanced at the floating island, his eyes darting around.

Although he can't lay a hand on Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah, he can lay a hand on Yoo Jae-suk.

With this in mind, he immediately reached out his hand to Yoo Jae-seok, who had once again driven off Ji Suk-jin.

"Snapped"

But just as my hand was halfway out, it was slapped by a small, fair hand.

Chen Yan paused, then subconsciously looked up.

Kim Tae-yeon: Staring.

"."

He gave an awkward smile and slowly withdrew his hand.

Would he dare to move? No, he wouldn't.

As the two confronted each other, the melee intensified.

Lee Kwang-soo and Kang Gary have broken through Bae Suzy and Jung Soo-jung's blockade, and Im Yoon-ah quickly intensified her defense.

After a tense standoff, with only one second left on the countdown, everyone on the floating island subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a scream rang out.

"what!"

Suddenly, Lee Kwang-soo reached out and grabbed Kim Tae-yeon's calf, pulling her down from the floating island with a forceful pull.

"Beep-"

The final whistle blew.

Only Yoo Jae-suk, Im Yoon-ah, and Jung Eun-ji remained on the floating island.

"Ah~ Unnie."

Upon seeing Kim Tae-yeon fall into the water, Im Yoon-a immediately cried out in frustration.

Just when they were about to succeed, Taeyeon unnie fell into the water.

Unfortunately, they left out the weakest member of the team, and the situation instantly turned from a great advantage to a great disadvantage.

Chen Yan immediately swam over and pulled Kim Tae-yeon out of the water. He looked at her wiping her face and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

But there was nothing that could be done; that's how the game works. Yoona's plan to win first place failed because of Taeyeon's unexpected fall into the water.

After a short rest, the fourth round began.

The remaining people continued the melee, but the men seemed intent on sending some of the girls away first.

Therefore, after a chaotic battle, Song Ji-hyo, Tao, and Jung Soo-jung ultimately passed.

In the fifth round, Kim Tae-yeon tried to climb up several times, but Ji Suk-jin pulled her down each time.

In a sense, this can be considered a clash of weaklings.

Seeing that her strength was about to run out, Chen Yan couldn't bear to watch any longer and immediately swam over to block Chi Suk-jin for her, gesturing for her to hurry up.

Kim Tae-yeon seized the opportunity and, using all her strength, finally managed to climb up with great difficulty.

Meanwhile, while Lee Kwang-soo and Kang Gary were entangled, Lee Ji-eun and Bae Suzy quickly climbed up.

At this point, there were less than ten seconds left in the countdown.

A series of laughter rang out from the shore: "Hey, Suzy, hurry up and push Taeyeon in! She passed! Jae-seok's team is now in first place!"

Song Ji-hyo, who was standing next to her, also shouted, telling Lee Ji-eun to push Kim Tae-yeon down.

Before Bae Suzy and Lee Ji-eun could even catch their breath, upon hearing the two's words, the thought of not letting them take first place flashed through their minds, and they subconsciously looked at Kim Tae-yeon before starting their attack.

Pushed away bit by bit by the two men, Kim Tae-yeon struggled fiercely, grabbing their clothes tightly with both hands, but to no avail.

In a moment of panic, she shouted, "Sooji, Ji-eun, it's me, unnie!"

Upon hearing this, Bae Suzy and Lee Ji-eun were stunned for a moment. They glanced at Kim Tae-yeon, who looked rather disheveled, and then realized what was happening and quickly stopped.

The two immediately and obediently helped Kim Tae-yeon straighten her clothes, then smiled shyly.

Relieved to have survived the ordeal, Kim Tae-yeon glanced at Kim Ah-young, who was trying to climb up beside her, and called out weakly:
"Ya Rong is coming up."

Lee Ji-eun and Bae Suzy turned around and immediately joined forces to push Kim Ah-young down again.

If Kim Ah-young passes, then their team wins.

That won't do. They can let Taeyeon win, since they're all family, but Kim Ah-young can't.

Kim Ah-young, who was pushed down but quickly resurfaced, looked at the three people on the floating island, feeling like crying but having no tears.

Why are you only pushing me? Why didn't you push Kim Tae-yeon too? You're not on the same team, why didn't you push her?

"Beep-"

The final whistle blew, and Kim Tae-yeon, Bae Suzy, and Lee Ji-eun passed through successfully.

Im Yoon-ah and Yoo Jae-suk cheered from the shore, meaning they were now in first place.

However, even though a winner has been decided, the game must continue.

The remaining players on the field are Chen Yan, Kang Gary, Lee Kwang-soo, Ji Suk-jin, and Kim Ah-young.

In the next round, after a chaotic battle, Chen Yan, Jiang Gary, and Jin Yarong successfully passed.

In the final round, after a series of humiliating actions, including having his hands and shoulders stepped on, Ji Suk-jin was defeated, and Lee Kwang-soo won.

After the game ended, everyone went to the changing room to change clothes and blow-dry their hair.

Autumn has arrived, and if you don't change your clothes and dry your hair in time, you are very likely to catch a cold.

As Chen Yan was walking, someone suddenly tugged at him from behind.

Turning around, I saw it was Krystal Jung.

"what happened?"

Krystal pursed her lips: "I have something to tell you."
