You’re Supposed to Survive in the Wilderness, So Why Are You Walking the National Treasure Like a Dog?

[Livestreaming + Wilderness Survival + Satisfying Contrast]

Shen Mu, a washed-up pretty boy mocked across the internet, is dumped on Death Island as a disposable foil contestant.

Everyone bets he won’t last three hours, since his drop zone is called “Snake Pit.”

Just as a pit viper lunges for his throat, Shen Mu grabs it by the head and turns to ask the director, “Could I use this thing as a belt?”

The whole internet: “???”

While survival experts are chewing on bugs, Shen Mu pats a Komodo dragon on the head. “Go on, catch me a lobster.”

When the rescue team thinks a saltwater crocodile has eaten him, Shen Mu is actually lounging on its belly in a hot spring. “Now that’s a genuine leather sofa, with built-in temperature control.”

Animal welfare groups report him for abusing wildlife in the middle of the night.

The special police rush to the island, ready to “rescue” him by force.

And then...

Shen Mu is surrounded by more than a dozen nationally protected animals. A golden eagle perches on his shoulder, a giant lizard lies by his feet, and a saltwater crocodile guards the camp entrance with its jaws wide open.

Shen Mu spreads his hands helplessly. “Officer, if I said they insisted on making me their boss, would you believe me?”

The internet explodes: You sent him to survive in the wilderness, and he’s treating national treasures like pets. But what’s with this animal empire?
