The Shǎzi forest is known to be one of the most complex and dangerous forests in china, but due to the large area it occupies, monitoring the perimeter of the forest is hard work with little rewards. Hence, although going into the forest is forbidden due to safety concerns, it's been a grey area where the officials don't give strict attention to who enters but they also won't be held accountable for the accidents caused while inside the forest.
There have been numerous accidents that caused deaths to people in the past but the officials only said the usual feeling sorry speech and then proceeded to stress how going into the Shǎzi forest is strictly prohibited.
As of today, there are still a few adventurous people who want to experience the famous forest for themselves. One of them is Leon, a famous internet celebrity who does crazy things for clout even at the risk of his life. Or at least that's what the other people see him but the truth is almost all of those crazy things are scripted and his safety is his top priority. Well, after his fame that is
"That was a close call! I almost fell on the river if I didn't manage to grab the vines." A tall, blonde and English man with an athletic body said while holding onto a thick rope that looks like a vine. And while also wearing the cleverly hidden safety harness in his back.
"Don't think that this river is just any ordinary dirty river, but those log-like looking things are actually the back of a crocodile. Differentiating the two is almost impossible but if you observe it more carefully, you can tell that the direction of its flow is going into the side of the river where there are many animals trying to drink and the speed of the log is comparatively faster than the other logs."
Of course what Leon said was just his own bullshit understanding and his viewers also knew that but that's what gives him the clout, and it's entertaining for some people. That's why Leon is big on the internet.
While Leon was talking in front of the camera, the safety harness attached to Leon is strangely stuck in a tree branch and due to Leon's earlier antics, the harness was split without any of the people at the set noticing. There are people responsible for the monitoring of his safety equipment, but at this moment it's like all of them are intentionally avoiding going into the area where the safety harness broke.
Confident about his ability and that the safety harness is still connected to him, Leon continued to rappel down the vine-like rope for a close up video of the river. He trained his body and various survival skills just so he can do this type of content.
While he was just a few meters away from the river, his hands unexpectedly lost grip. He panicked for a moment but was still confident in the safety equipment that he wore. However that was the cause of his literal downfall, and he fell into the river.
"FUCK! HURRY AND PULL ME UP!" At this moment, Leon was finally scared as he swam towards the river bank as fast as he could.
"What.the.FUCK! Some of you guys had one job and you somehow managed to failed it" Feeling both scared and angry, Leon shouted vulgarities at his team for the first time.
After finally swimming back to the land, Leon stared at his crew with a dumbfounded look. All of them are still continuing to work in a routine manner as if he didn't just fall down in a river with god knows how dirty and if there's really a crocodile in there.
"Robert! Everyone! What's wrong with you?" He quickly shook them aggressively because now, he was truly angry at them for ignoring him.
"You are doing is useless "
Leon was surprised and then turned to look at the man who suddenly spoke.
