Entertainment: Escape from the Stars

After waiting for an hour, Huang Zitao finally waited for the staff of the program team.

I originally thought that the so-called absolutely safe shelter would be at the foot of a certain mountain.

After following the other party for ten minutes, we arrived.

Moreover, the surrounding scene was somewhat familiar. I had driven past this before, a community on the side of the road.

However, it seems a little different here. The security guard at the door is a 1.8 meter young man who stands upright.

After entering the community, looking around, there are only five buildings, and the floors are not particularly high.

It is originally a mountain city, not to mention the greening in the community.

Red flowers, green leaves, butterflies and bees everywhere, make people feel much better.

The staff handed over a card: "1201."

"Thanks!"

Take the elevator to the twelfth floor, and when you get out, you will find one apartment after another.

When we arrived at the door, we noticed another difference.

Residents in normal communities all have single doors, but this one has double doors.

The door opened and it suddenly became clear.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows in front made Huang Zitao ignore the softness under his feet, and later he discovered that the whole house was covered with carpets.

Going straight to the window, you can have an unobstructed view of the Shaxi River not far away.

After sighing, I found the instructions on the coffee table.

This is a large flat floor of 388, with six bedrooms, three living rooms and three bathrooms. It is not only luxuriously decorated, but also has complete appliances. You can live outside without paying for it.

The view is wide, all rooms face south, and are fully protected from outside interference.

besides!

The ingredients in the refrigerator in the house are enough to feed ten people for half a month.

Fresh fruits, various drinks, and the cabinets are filled with snacks.

Food and accommodation are sufficient, with a bathtub with massage function, a small sauna, PS5, and a billiard table.

Enjoy everything without leaving home!

"My dear, this suite is really luxurious."

Huang Zitao's family is also a wealthy person. His ability to sigh is enough to show that the shelter is indeed good!

Naturally, this was not prepared by the program team. The location was just decided yesterday and it was too late.

The owner of the house is a well-known local entrepreneur who happened to be out of the city recently. After hearing about it, he generously lent the house to the program crew, which helped the program crew a lot.

After Huang Zitao finished sighing, he immediately connected with Ning Zhou again, using video.

For a country bumpkin like Ning Zhou, after seeing the mansion, he was naturally filled with emotion.

“The bed is so comfortable that I sleep here every night!”

Huang Zitao found a room at random, lying on the bed and stretching comfortably.

"It seems that the program team deliberately found a good place."

Miss Zhao saw the other party's intention.

"I will give you an 18-hour experience card first, so you can go from frugality to luxury. After enjoying it, if you want to continue, you have to do the task."

"That's right."

Ning Zhou agreed.

"In other words, as of two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, how about I go out at night to hang out for a while, or find out what kind of job I can do?"

Huang Zitao felt a little uneasy staying alone in this big room, while his teammates were all suffering outside.

"No need," Ning Zhou comforted, "You have a good rest tonight, you've been tired for the whole day. We'll talk about other things when I come over."

"receive!"

At this moment, he couldn't call out the word "Xiao Ning".

After hanging up the phone, Ning Zhou handed the phone to Miss Zhao.

The task was handed over to Teacher He and Sister Mi, so the two of them were relieved.

"Let's go, find a place to expose yourself."

Ning Zhou knows very well that the current focus of the pursuers is the same as his own. They are all focused on the upcoming cage match in Shanghai-Ming City. All seven of you are going to come. Be prepared in the early stage and have the opportunity to catch them all.

but,

Things must be done.

There was a reason besides distracting his pursuers.

Flowers are not as red as a hundred days.

Especially for someone like him who is an Internet celebrity, maybe in the third season, the program team will no longer invite him, and the good days will be over.

Therefore, try your best to perform well in the show, and when it is over, you can still make more money.

It's just that it's more difficult to do things now than before.

The increase in bounties has made the escapees worried.

If I originally wanted to expose myself, I could go out openly and hold a celebrity meeting.

Now, it's very possible that a few people will rush out of the crowd and knock you down. This is a five-digit bonus.

So the exposed position becomes particular.

It won’t work if there are too many people because it is too dangerous. It won’t work if there are too few people because it won’t spread fast enough.

So, a scene that made the program team applaud appeared.

The two were walking on the street, and Ning Zhou patted Miss Zhao.

"How about you join?"

Miss Zhao turned around and saw a group of aunts preparing for a square dance.

"You and I. Go."

Don't say it, you really don't say it, Miss Zhao can twist it.

I was not familiar with the dance steps at first, so I stood at the back and followed the dance in front, and gradually I got used to it.

"Look, it looks like it's Zhao Lushi, the star Zhao Lushi."

Just as Ms. Zhao was getting into it, a man next to her shouted at the top of her lungs during a break in the music.

"Catch her and give her 10,000 yuan!"

While the confused passers-by were still confused, Ning Zhou rushed into the crowd, pulled Miss Zhao away, and quickly got into a taxi nearby, leaving a group of people looking at each other.

"It seems to be really Zhao Lushi."

"Is that man Ning Zhou?"

"Holy shit, is he Ning Zhou? He was the one who told me he was Zhao Lushi just now."

"Report it quickly!"

Yes, the whistleblower was Ning Zhou, including the one who shouted.

Aunts and aunties danced in the open space outside a community. There were some people enjoying the cool air, but not many.

Ning Zhou couldn't help it at first glance. Miss Zhao was sweating. She hadn't been recognized yet, so she needed some help.

So, he deliberately walked up to the two young men and muttered suspicions. After doing this several times, he saw that they were still hesitating and couldn't wait any longer, so he started yelling.

Then he took her to the taxi that had been waiting for a long time.

"I guess the effect is average!"

Ning Zhou was referring to the effect on the pursuer.

A little too deliberate.

His idea was absolutely correct. When Huang Shengli learned the news, he ignored it at all.

Seeing this situation, the program team temporarily modified the itinerary and sent a car to take the two to the airport to avoid delaying tomorrow's trip.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. All the pursuers in Shangdu have evacuated today, so there won't be any conflicts here.

Ning Zhou naturally had no objection.

Just now in the car, I received a photo from Sister Mi, in which she and Teacher He were leaning against each other.

Didn't I decide to leave the remaining mileage to them in the afternoon? I was quite concerned about it.

After researching, I went to the train station and caught the shuttle bus to the county town below.

It's nearly 200 kilometers, and we're on the highway. We've been running for over half an hour now.

They planned to just make a few trips back and forth, and the task would be completed immediately.

As for where to stay at night, Sister Mi didn't say it, and Ning Zhou didn't ask. It was the second season anyway, and it would be unreasonable to spend even one night there.

"What do you want to do?"

When he arrived at the airport, Ning Zhou sat back down as he saw the staff picking up their equipment and putting on their tags.

"Oh, I'm clearing the way for you two. There are so many people at the airport, so there won't be any trouble!" the other party explained with a smile.

"no."

Ning Zhou shook his head.

"You can follow, but you can't take the machine."

"Why?"

"Why?" Ning Zhou was speechless: "You guys went in together with such a big fanfare that no one would know about it. Doesn't that mean you have informed the pursuer?"

The staff was at a loss for words for a moment. It seemed right. Why didn't Huang Zitao say it yesterday?

There were still many people at the airport at night, but the program team provided business class tickets. After passing the security check, the two entered the VIP lounge.

Not idle, I got something to eat first.

"Excuse me, are they Mr. Ning Zhou and Miss Zhao Lushi?"

The two of them were engrossed in eating noodles when a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties came to the side with a smile and asked politely.

"Don't worry, I am a loyal fan of the show and a staunch supporter of The Runaways. I will never do anything like reporting it!"

Seeing Ning Zhou raise his head, the man became more sure of his judgment.

"It doesn't matter if you report," Ning Zhou stood up and shook hands with him: "We are both safe now. I would like to ask, how did you recognize me?"

Neither of them have taken off their makeup yet.

The man smiled: "I am in the media field, so I didn't care at first, but..."

He turned to look at the two staff members beside him.

We are not allowed to bring big machines with us, so we have replaced them with selfie sticks. These days, you can see live broadcasters everywhere, and passers-by are not surprised.

"I realized they were taking pictures of you, and they didn't say anything. Take a closer look.

But don't worry, you two, the makeup is very good. It's not easy to recognize unless you look carefully. "

This is definitely a true fan. He just came over to chat for a few words and didn’t even ask for a photo. He said that his style couldn’t be exposed.

Then, the staff member was glared at by Ning Zhou.

After getting on the plane, the flight attendant naturally recognized the two of them and the service was very attentive.

After about two hours of flight, we arrived at Rongcheng Airport.

"You don't need to, we can handle it ourselves."

Several accompanying staff members were still wondering, should you take the bus into the city, but as soon as they left, they saw an acquaintance.

Wang Kang!

The brother smiled with a flower on his face and held a sign in his hand.

"Welcome both teachers."

There is an airport in Shaxian County, but the flights are too few, so you can transfer there after you get to Rongcheng.

Although the program team has advanced the schedule of the two, the time to enter Shanghai Ming Dynasty is still 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Ning Zhou was in Rongcheng and had connections. Before boarding the plane, he sent Wang Kang a message.

As a local media and someone who had dealt with Ming Yue, how could he not know the next actions in Shanghai, but he didn't know exactly what to do.

We even received calls from local government departments asking how to get along.

Strictly speaking, they are all brothers, so Wang Kang naturally knows everything.

When Ning Zhou contacted him, he was so happy that he canceled the evening meeting.

I originally planned to make a banner, but I was worried that it would be too high-profile, but bringing nothing with me seemed disrespectful.

Take the middle value and get a small sign.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Wang Kang came well-prepared. He only put on makeup and was not disguising himself, so he quickly spotted the two of them from the crowd. He wanted to shout, but held it back and raised his right hand to signal.

He was quite measured. He hugged Ning Zhou and only shook hands slightly with Miss Zhao.

"Let's go, the car is outside."

There are many people here, so it's not a place for chatting. They don't have much luggage, so they just keep walking.

"them."

Wang Kang was still quite alert. After taking a few steps, he found someone else following him.

"Oh, staff," Ning Zhou looked back and said, "You don't have to follow me. Goodbye!"

Several people's expressions were a bit down, which was different from what the director told them, but they soon received a notice from the headquarters to leave.

"Welcome to Rongcheng again!"

After getting in the car, Wang Kangcai laughed.

"Don't worry, you two. When I came, I checked carefully and there was absolutely no one following me."

"I'm determined."

Ning Zhou did not attack. The pursuers could not imagine that he would come here now, but they were here to help him.

"The accommodation has been arranged, let's go get something to eat now.

It's a private restaurant, owned by my friend, and it's absolutely safe. "

When Chinese friends meet, they rarely eat or drink.

Because Wang Kang had said before getting on the plane that he would be treated well, so the two of them specially kept their stomachs open.

It takes about an hour to get from the airport to the city.

After the brief reminiscing, the two sides got down to business.

Wang Kang told all the information he had learned here.

Not much!

At present, it is known that the four people who went to Shanghai are Mr. Huang. Among them, Wuhan Steel used to work in the city’s fire brigade and got married, bought a house and had children there.

Miss Zhao looked at Ning Zhou with admiration, and he read it right through.

Furthermore, municipal authorities are on the side of the pursuers. Today I saw a lot of related news, all of which were selfies from local citizens’ WeChat Moments.

"Teacher Huang, this is a road show."

The so-called road show means that before or during the release of a work, the main creative staff travels to various parts of the country to communicate face-to-face with the audience to increase its influence.

Huang Lei and others went to the business district just to expand their influence.

Ning Zhou was deep in thought, thinking while listening to Wang Kang's ramble.

No wonder the program team wants to provide the concept of shelter. If all the people are soldiers, in a small place like Shanghai and Ming, for them, the disadvantage will be too great.

He even had an ominous premonition that it would be very difficult for everyone to successfully last seven days in this cage match.

"Brother Wang, do you have any particularly close friends in Shanghai?"

Wang Kang glanced at the rearview mirror with a guilty expression.

"Actually, before you came, I considered it, only people I know, but..."

The rest of the words were not finished yet, all three of them understood.

A person may know tens of thousands of people in his life, but he may only have three or four true good friends.

He didn't dare to take the risk to introduce it, and Ning Zhou couldn't take the risk to believe it.

“However, I have another idea.

For example, if I find a friend’s ID card and ask him to help me open a room in a hotel, then you can get the room card and go in? "

"Don't worry about it now. I'll contact you later if I need it."

Ning Zhou was not in a hurry to agree.

In his opinion, staying in a hotel is too risky.

Huang Zitao had already said that there were reward orders for several people at the bus station.

If the pursuer is not stupid, he can stick it in the hotel lobby, front desk, elevators, corridors and other places.

He also explained that if the guest does not come out of that room for a long time, he can report it and there will be no place to escape.

But Wang Kang means well, don't let him feel cold.

"But Brother Kang, help me get a car tomorrow."

"no problem."

Wang Kang's current mentality is that it is best to help, and he hurriedly agreed after hearing this.

"It's no problem to have two cars, and there's absolutely no way they can be found."

"One car is enough, but the grade of the car can be slightly higher."

Ning Zhou thought for a while.

"A little, not a Maybach, or a sports car, about five to six hundred thousand."

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Miss Zhao didn't answer. She knew why Ning Zhou, who had always asked for an ordinary vehicle, suddenly wanted to change his car.

The safe house belongs to a high-end community. If you drive a car worth tens of thousands of dollars into the car, the security guards will probably take a second look to make sure it matches your status.

"Where's the money? Do you need money?"

"It doesn't matter for now, thank you, Brother Wang."

"Hey, why are you being polite to me? If you have any requests, just ask."

After chatting and laughing all the way, we arrived in downtown Rongcheng City. When we arrived, it was already past eleven o'clock at night.

The location of this private restaurant is really good and quite quiet.

As soon as the door is closed, nothing can be seen or heard outside, and before arriving, I have already told you that the food will be served in advance without a waiter, so there will only be four people here.

The host Qiu Qiu was also there and took a bunch of photos with the two of them like they were fans.

Knowing that the two of them had to drive tomorrow, Wang Kang did not persuade them to drink. Instead, they each drank a bottle of cold beer.

To relieve fatigue.

After Qiu heard that they were going to Shanghai, she gave her a phone number. It belonged to her college classmate and she was currently working there.

The relationship is not bad, they have been roommates for four years, but whether he can help or not is up to Ning Zhou's discretion.

For this, Ning Zhou expressed his gratitude and kept it for now.

I don’t drink much and my meal ends quickly.

Wang Kang didn't drive after drinking. The two of them were staying at Qiu's Apartment tonight, and the young lady took them there.

"So, are you in the same room, or two?"
