Evangeline enjoyed her time in the water, even catching a large fish. She played with it briefly before returning it to the water after a playful slap. Afterward, she cleaned herself and returned to camp. She used a disposable toilet shed to relieve herself and change into dry clothes.

One audience member commented, "Evangeline, don't be shy. You can change and relieve yourself without using that disposable toilet. I don't mind watching." Another wrote, "[It's for ill-intentioned people, not me]." A further comment mentioned, "[Evangeline was lucky to catch a fish effortlessly. Meghan and the others would be furious if they knew.]" Someone refuted this, saying, "Evangeline didn't rely on luck. Her agility and speed are extraordinary. I doubt even special forces possess her reflexes." Another added, "[Exactly. Evangeline's pursuit of the monkeys today proved she's extraordinary. Despite being smaller, wild monkeys are powerful and fast, yet Evangeline caught and defeated them all!]"

After changing, Evangeline quickly cleaned up. She then lay on the grass, gazing at the unbelievably beautiful night sky, unmarred by light pollution. Evangeline gradually calmed down, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. As she wasn't using a tent, hidden cameras captured her. Even late into the night, tens of millions continued watching—a remarkable feat! The production team cleverly partnered with a food delivery platform; many viewers, unable to resist the advertisement, ordered takeout and watched the stream while enjoying a midnight snack. This collaboration proved lucrative for both the production team and the food delivery platform.

Day three arrived. After waking and freshening up, Evangeline practiced her Eight Brocades exercises. She then explored the forest for food.

Samson, Meghan, and the others remained by the riverside, waiting for the production team to send help. Despite their anxious wait, no one arrived. Their hunger intensified, and their irritability grew with each passing day. They had skipped breakfast on the first day to look good in their outfits, effectively starving themselves. The previous day, they had only two eggs. Now, on the third day, hunger had weakened them; even standing after sitting made them dizzy.

Meghan cried out angrily, "What the hell is going on with the production team? It's the third day! Why haven't they sent someone? They won't forget us, will they?" Samson frowned, annoyed. Jolene trembled as she asked, "Could it be that everyone on the production team was poisoned? No one knows we're here, that's why there's no rescue, right?" Her words filled everyone with panic. They considered the dire consequences of her speculation.

Meghan angrily kicked Jolene, shouting, "Shut up! Don't jinx it!" Jolene bit her lip, silently moving away. Kendrick frowned, saying, "If Jolene's right, and no one knows we're here, what should we do? We can't find food. Are we going to starve to death?" Travis, desperate, stated, "I think the entire production team has been poisoned. Otherwise, with our fame, they wouldn't forget us. Even if they did, our managers wouldn't. The only possibility is that none of the production team made it to the shore alive, and our managers couldn't reach them." He added, "To keep the shoot confidential, they never shared the specific location. Even if our managers noticed the communication gap and informed the police, finding us would be tough. By the time we're discovered, we might have starved to death."

His words heightened their desperation. Meghan threw herself into Samson's arms, crying, "Sam, do something. I don't want to die here. I want to go home. I want to see Dad, Mom, Eddie, and Jas." Distressed, Samson hugged her tightly, helpless.

Kendrick suggested, "How about we go look for Evangeline again, apologize, and ask for her help finding food? At least then we won't starve." Meghan gritted her teeth, resentfully replying, "I will not apologize to her. She treated me so badly! She should apologize to me!" Kendrick gave her a cold look without replying. He thought, "Unbelievable! She's starving to death, yet she's so stubborn."

Travis stood, saying to Kendrick, "I agree. Let's find Evangeline." Kendrick nodded and stood. Jolene, summoning courage, said, "I'll go too!"

Meghan yelled at Jolene, "Come back! You're not allowed to go! If you dare seek refuge with Evangeline, I'll ask Eddie to collaborate with the entire entertainment industry to blacklist you, and you'll never be famous!" Jolene's face paled; she dared not go.

Kendrick frowned at her, saying, "You're dying now. Why worry about your future? What's more important, your life or your future?" Travis added, "Kendrick's right. Even if you can't work in entertainment, there are other jobs. Can she blacklist you everywhere? Our hope lies in staying alive." Jolene was moved to tears. Choking back sobs, she walked toward Kendrick and Travis, saying, "Okay, I'll search for Evangeline!" She didn't consider Evangeline evil; at least, not as bad as Meghan.

Meghan's anger flared as she watched the three leave. She shouted, "How dare you! Just wait and see. I won't let you off when we get back!" No one paid attention. Initially, they were apprehensive about Meghan's background, but in this dire situation, they focused solely on survival. Extreme hunger prioritized filling their stomachs above all else.

Sobbing, Meghan exclaimed, "Sam, they've gone too far" She threw herself into Samson's arms. Samson, pursing his lips, said, "They were right. We can't secure food ourselves, and even if we could, we lack cooking knowledge. If this continues, we'll starve to death."

Meghan, biting her lip, insisted, "But I don't want to apologize to her. She treated me so badly!" Samson, lowering his gaze, said in a deep voice, "I thought about it all night. Each time Evangeline attacked us, it was in response to our provocation. She might not be as bad as you portray her. She wouldn't make things difficult for us without reason."

Meghan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Sam, what are you talking about? How can you defend Evangeline? Do you think she's not a bad person? Are you suggesting I'm wrong? Have you forgotten how she bullied me? She's been insulting and beating me for two days! Doesn't that prove she's evil?!"

Samson bit his lip, not answering. He asked, "Then tell me, what should we do if we can't find food or cook? Are we just going to wait to starve to death?" Meghan was speechless but still refused to apologize, believing Evangeline didn't deserve it. She thought, Evangeline should be my slave, serving me for life. What qualifications does a slave have for me to apologize and plead! But I'm very hungry. I don't want to die. Evangeline appeared to be their only hope.

Biting her lip, Meghan softened her tone, saying with grievance, "I can swallow my pride and apologize. But once we leave here, you have to seek justice for me. I won't accept being beaten without reason." Samson hesitated before nodding, "Okay."

He helped Meghan up, and they walked toward where Evangeline had been, but she was gone. Only burnt ashes remained. "Where did that bitch go?" Meghan frowned. Samson said, "She must have gone into the forest for food. Let's go find her, and maybe we can find some food ourselves." He suspected Evangeline wouldn't willingly help, preferring to find food independently. Even if he couldn't cook it, as long as it filled their stomachs, he didn't care about the taste or quality.

Meghan reluctantly followed into the forest. She was very hungry, weak, and wearing a skirt, fearing scratches from the vegetation, but feared staying alone outside.

Shortly after entering, they met Kendrick and the others. Kendrick looked at them in surprise, asking, "I thought you wouldn't apologize. Why are you here?" Samson explained, "Meghan was just expressing frustration." Kendrick withdrew his gaze. Samson asked, "Have you found Evangeline?" Kendrick shook his head, "No. We're following a path, hoping to find her, but she's entered the forest multiple times, creating many paths. We don't know which way she went."

Meghan complained, "Why don't we wait for her outside? Why enter the forest? There are so many mosquitoes and bugs! I'm itching!" Kendrick replied, "If we don't approach her with goodwill while she's searching for food and ask for assistance, we might go hungry for another day."

Meghan rebuked, "Just let her reenter the forest and look for food?" Kendrick didn't want to speak to her further, thinking, Who do you think you are to give orders? We'll be lucky if Evangeline gives us food. It's impossible for her to willingly find food for us separately.

"Hey, I heard something. Could it be Evangeline!" Jolene called from the front. Kendrick and Travis ran forward; Samson followed, supporting Meghan.

They soon saw Evangeline, wearing a black windbreaker and cargo pants, her hair in a low ponytail. She leaped onto a tree trunk, swung from vines, pursuing a group of monkeys. The monkeys bared their teeth but seemed afraid, only daring to intimidate, not attack. Evangeline wasn't just swinging; she was actively pursuing them, roaring, "How dare you, idiotic monkeys, ambush me! I'll make you regret it!"

She caught a monkey, then fell steadily to the ground, pinning the monkey and beating it. The monkey howled; the other monkeys grew anxious but hesitated to intervene, their fear evident. Some even fled.

Samson and the others were stunned. Evangeline is so strong! She's more agile than monkeys! She even caught a monkey king! They thought. The monkey she caught was larger than the others; it was the king. The fear in the monkeys' eyes showed she had intimidated them before. What did Evangeline do to these monkeys? they wondered. They were impressed by her strength. They realized that if she treated them as she treated the monkey king, they could be dead or disabled.

The beating lasted half an hour. She skillfully subdued the king, leaving it injured but conscious, not risking its life. Considering they were endangered, she didn't want to break the law. Even without cameras, she abided by the law.

Evangeline coldly addressed the monkey king, "Remember, I'm in charge. If you ambush me again, I won't show mercy. I'll break your arms and legs!" The monkey king trembled. Evangeline spat and kicked it away. The other monkeys swiftly carried it away.

"E-Evangeline," someone called out.
