Rebirth 09: Starting from taking charge of Running Man on CCTV

"The third challenge is the Eight Trigrams Formation at White Tiger Pool."

Chen Yang stood on the high platform next to the Bagua formation, looking at the fourteen gray penguins in front of him.

He held up a megaphone, speaking slowly but clearly and distinctly.

The rules are as follows.

"A total of many zodiac-themed balls were thrown into the mud pit. The Running Man team's ball was white, and the Chinese Paladin team's ball was blue."

He pointed to the giant, slowly rotating disc in the center of the arena.

"In the center of the disc is a yin-yang symbol rotating in reverse, with many grooves on it. You need to find the ball of your team's color in the mud and then put the ball into the groove."

"The team that places the most balls into the grooves within the 30-minute time limit wins."

He put down the loudspeaker and smiled.

"Is there a problem?"

Chen He raised his hand.

"Director Chen, is the ball buried in the mud?"

"right."

"How am I supposed to know which one is white and which one is blue?"

"Just dig it out and clean it, then you'll know."

Chen He slowly lowered his hand.

Shen Teng, standing to the side, added insult to injury with a smile.

"Hehe, the quality of your question is about the same as your skill level in kicking the shuttlecock earlier."

"Shut up!"

Chen Yang didn't give them time to argue any further.

The whistle blew.

Sharp, harsh, and unquestionable.

"start!"

Fourteen people stepped into the mud at the same time.

Wang Baoqiang was the first to step in.

As soon as his foot touched the ground, the mud "squeaked" and went up to his calf.

Dark brown muddy water surged up from his feet, carrying a damp, earthy smell.

Wang Baoqiang looked down and grinned.

"Hey, it's exactly the same as the lotus pond in our village."

He strode forward, his steps uneven as he made his way to the center of the mud pit, moving faster than anyone else.

A series of exclamations came from behind.

"Ah! It's so deep!"

Liu Shishi had just stepped halfway in when she tumbled forward.

Tang Yan reached out to pull her up, but both of them ended up sinking their feet in.

"Oh my god, this mud is disgusting..." Tang Yan's voice was trembling with tears.

Yang Mi adapted faster than the other two.

She gritted her teeth and took two steps forward, then turned back and shouted to her two sisters.

"Stop standing there! Find the ball! We still have thirty minutes left!"

On the Running Man team's side, Li Chen had already strode into the depths of the mud pit.

His weight caused him to sink deeper with each step, but his strength allowed him to carve out a path.

Zheng Kai followed behind him, using the path Li Chen had cleared to move forward quickly.

Shen Teng stood on the edge of the mud pit, one foot in the mud and the other on the bank.

He looked down at his foot, which was already submerged in mud, his expression complex.

"I have a suggestion."

"What?"

Chen He had already walked three or four steps away when he turned back to look at him.

"I'll be in charge of catching the ball on the shore. You guys find the ball and throw it to me, and I'll be responsible for putting it onto the carousel."

"You just don't want to go down into the mud, do you?"

"I call this a reasonable division of labor."

"Get down here!"

Deng Chao shoved Shen Teng from behind.

Shen Teng staggered forward two steps, his feet sinking completely into the mud.

Mud splashed all over his trouser leg.

Shen Teng looked down at his own situation, then looked up at Deng Chao, and smiled.

"Deng Chao, you'll remember this day."

"Find the ball! Stop talking nonsense!"

The melee in the quagmire has officially begun.

Wang Baoqiang was the first person to find the ball.

He squatted at the deepest part of the mud pit, his hands shoveling and digging through the mud like shovels.

This action was exactly the same as when he was a child catching loaches in the village.

"Got it!"

He pulled his hand out of the mud, clutching a round object in his palm.

But the ball was completely covered by a thick layer of mud, blending seamlessly with the color of the mud pit.

White?

Blue?

Who knows?

Wang Baoqiang placed the ball on his knees and frantically rubbed it between his hands.

The mud was rubbed away layer by layer, revealing the color underneath.

white.

"White! Ours!"

Wang Baoqiang held up the ball and shouted to his teammates.

"Baoqiang is awesome!"

Zheng Kai gave a thumbs up from ten meters away.

Yang Mi panicked when she heard this.

She bent over and groped around in the mud for a long time before her fingers finally touched something hard.

She pulled hard to pull it out.

With a "pop" sound, the ball was pulled out of the mud.

Yang Mi held the ball up to her eyes and vigorously wiped it with her sleeve.

After wiping for a long time, the original color was revealed.

White.

"..."

Yang Mi's expression froze for a second.

"White? This belongs to the other person?"

She curled her lip, raised her hand, and prepared to throw the ball back into the mud.

In that very instant.

A gray figure suddenly pounced on her from her left.

"Bang!"

The mud and water exploded, and Chen He flew out sideways like a fish out of water, precisely snatching the white ball from Yang Mi's hands.

Then he landed face-first in the mud.

Mud splattered all over Yang Mi's face.

Chen He climbed out of the mud, holding up a white ball, his face covered in mud, only his eyes were still white.

He gave Yang Mi a bright smile.

"Thank you, Mimi!"

Yang Mi was stunned for a full two seconds.

Then she exploded.

"Chen He!!!"

She pointed at Chen He, her voice carrying throughout the entire scenic area.

"You've been watching me look for the ball the whole time?! Fine, you don't look for it yourself, but you steal it from me?!"

"This ball originally belonged to our team!"

Chen He retreated while holding the ball.

"I was the one who found it! And you just sat there waiting to reap the benefits?!"

"I call this tactics! Brainpower!"

"Where's your face?!"

Chen He had already run far away.

To be precise, they struggled to wade through the mud.

Yang Mi stomped her foot in anger, splashing mud all over herself.

Yuan Hong, standing next to him, was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

"Honey, you got ripped off."

"Shut up! Get the ball!"

On the other side of the roundabout, even greater chaos is unfolding.

Li Chen, holding the white ball that Wang Baoqiang had found, strode to the edge of the rotating disc.

The disc was slowly rotating. Its surface was coated with anti-slip paint, but after the edges were soaked with mud and water, they became as slippery as ice.

Li Chen gripped the ball with one hand and braced himself against the edge of the disc with the other, then flipped himself up.

He stood on the disc with his feet apart, trying to maintain his balance.

one second.

The centrifugal force from the rotating disc is transmitted up from the soles of your feet.

His left foot slipped outwards.

Then the right foot.

Then the whole person.

"Why....."

Li Chen's body leaned backward in an extremely slow and irreversible manner.

His arms made two large circles in the air as he tried to regain his balance.

Useless.

"Bang!"

The tall man, over 1.8 meters tall, landed sprawled on the disc, then slid off the edge of the disc and rolled into the mud.

The mud and water splattered more than a meter high.

The entire room fell silent for a second.

Then laughter exploded like a bomb.

Shen Teng stood in the mud, his face covered in mud, but he was laughing so hard his eyes disappeared.

"Now I finally know what this turntable is for."

"What are you doing?"

Chen He asked.

"For dumping people."

Li Chen climbed out of the mud, his waterproof suit completely unrecognizable.

He looked down at his hand.

The ball is gone.

It was thrown out when it fell.

"..."

Li Chen closed his eyes briefly.

Deng Chao saw it all clearly from the side.

The turntable won't go up.

At least one person cannot go up there.

This information was a godsend for him, an undercover agent.

"Brothers!"

Deng Chao stood in the middle of the mud pit, raised his fist, and spoke with great passion and fervor.

"I'll go! I'll get on the roulette wheel!"

He carried a white ball that he had just pulled out of the mud and strode toward the disc.

Step on it with one foot and climb upwards.

"Go for it, Brother Chao!"

Zheng Kai shouted from behind.

Deng Chao gripped the edge of the disc, hanging halfway up it.

His feet were frantically kicking on the surface of the disc, trying to find a foothold.

Then his hand "accidentally" let go.

The white ball flew from his hand, tracing an arc before landing precisely in the depths of the mud.

"Smack!"

The ball sank.

Deng Chao slid down and fell into the mud.

He lifted his head from the mud, his face filled with heartache.

"The ball fell! Can someone pick it up for me?"
