Just as Jennie was recording the show in Koktokay earnestly, the third episode of Wilderness Winner's Indonesia trip was finally aired amidst everyone's expectations.

Before the broadcast, the marketing team of the program group did a lot to build momentum for this period, and even the slogan "The first variety show for domestic audiences to face a volcanic disaster" was put forward.

It was said that this episode was reworked five times in the post-editing alone, and the leaders of the station reviewed it over and over, trying to restore the destructive natural disaster as realistically as possible without disrupting the rhythm of the narrative of the entertainment program itself.

In order to find the balance, all the staff behind the scenes went bald with worry.

The artists also mentioned the frightening volcanic disaster in many interviews.

Only Ruby refused relevant interviews. She didn't want to exaggerate her role, so she simply avoided talking about it.

This low profile of hers, on the contrary, made the audience more curious.

Friday night was supposed to be a good time for young people to enjoy their weekend and go out to party.

But today, countless people rushed home, hastily ate dinner, turned on the TV or webcast software, and began to wait for the program to be aired.

At 8:01, the program's opening song played on time. A realistic claw tore through the screen, accompanied by a rousing and tense drumbeat, heralding the curtain raising of a big show.—

— It opened with a 2.8% rating!!!!

That was a rating that many variety shows couldn't achieve in their season finales!

Nonetheless, it took only three episodes of Wilderness Winner"to reach this sensational number!!!

The schedule of TV programs was very tight, even to the precise time and minutes and seconds of what programs and commercials were broadcasted.

Wilderness Winner originally lasted for an hour and a half, but this third installment was extended by 30 minutes.

Apple Channel also didn't hesitate in pressing back a prime time second-rate program that was originally broadcasted at 9:30 a.m.

However, the content of this issue was worthy of such solemn treatment.

The first thing that appeared on the screen was the early morning drizzle. Drizzles fell on the tent, and then slipped into the soil, nourishing the green grass. There were many fixed shots placed around the tent, and these shots were small and inconspicuous and could be overlooked if one wasn't paying close attention.

In the first episode, Ruby had a conversation with Jackson about playing with fire or playing with life in a shot by the fire.

All of a sudden, a tent was lifted up and a slim and tall figure stepped out from inside the tent.

Sulawesi was located in the tropics, so even in the morning, the temperature was very high. Hence,the figure was dressed loosely, revealing her strong and agile limbs.

[Is this Ruby?]

[LOL, our RuRu's bare face is too unbeatable!!!]

[This passers-by says that a bare face is the most beautiful +1, these facial features are too delicate.]

[Lick-lick-lick-lick these legs...]

[Let go of those legs! Licking dogs are forbidden in the house!!!!]

[We're both human beings, but why do others wake up like fairies descending to the Earth while I wake up like a female monkey descending from a tree?]

[This poor Miss is too tired of saying the three words "I'm so sour"].

Nayeon, the assistant who followed Ruby, soon appeared next to her with a mosaic on her face.

In variety shows, all the staff behind the scenes were coded to protect their privacy.

The conversation between the two was audibly captured by the camera.

They heard the mosaiced figure say, "Sister, this rain is so refreshing!!! After so many hot days, it's finally cooling down."

However, Ruby did not reply to her. Instead, she turned her back to the camera and looked at the top of the volcano in the distance.

Mosaic: "...Sister Ruby?"

Ruby finally turned around, but this time her face was no longer as relaxed and comfortable as at the beginning. It was now brimming with vigilance.

The look in her eyes alone made the off-screen viewers feel that deadly tension –

"—— Wake everyone up." Ruby emphasized every word, "This isn't ordinary rain. This is volcanic rain."


The volcano was about to wake up.

*****

The next two hours were an extraordinarily thrilling two hours.

From the time when they first learned of the incoming crisis, to when the artists and the program group blamed each other, to their methodical retreat during the emergency evacuation...

All this was due to Ruby's presence.

The slim girl who was only a vase in the eyes of many viewers had supported the whole team all on her own.

She calmly mobilized dozens of people in the whole program group in the face of danger. She was like the alpha wolf in a wolf pack, guiding
everyone's direction.

She shouldered so many lives, holding the future of dozens of families...Is she not afraid?

This question coincidentally appeared in the heart of every viewer, and they could not help but put themselves in Ruby's shoes, brooding over if they had the ability to take on that heavy responsibility.

The answer was no brainer.

—— If another person were in Ruby's shoes, it would have been impossible for him/her to perform better.

In the face of natural disasters, all wealth was merely worldly possessions. No one went to pack their luggage. They only brought basic water and energy bars, and then they flew to the bottom of the mountain.

But the terrain on the mountain was rough. When they encountered sharp slopes, they could only bow from the top of the slope and 'slid' down. Sometimes, when they lost their balance, they could only move from 'sliding' to 'rolling'.

Many people bumped into something, but even the most delicate Chen Gangyu and the youngest Jackson did not scream bitterly. At that moment, everyone had only one thought in mind —— to live!

When retreating, the Director ruthlessly ordered everyone to leave all the machinery and equipment, and only retrieve the memory cards. After all, several million worth of equipment couldn't be compared with human life.

But on their way to 'escape', everyone spontaneously recorded their stumbles and bumps with their phones.

Phone photography was very unstable, and the recording length was short.

However, it was this kind of primitive and trivial fragments that constituted the most heart-stopping content of the program.

The viewers in front of their TVs were so anxious they wished they could cross over to the TV and help them escape from their peril!!!
