Reba loved the aroma of honey, especially the unprocessed, natural kind.
That mellow fragrance was intoxicating.
Not long after, Tang Chen jumped down from the stone pier.
In just a short while, his container was full.
It was filled with honeycomb chunks dripping with honey.
The honey and honeycomb were still mixed together.
Only by taking it back and using a tool to spin the honey out of the honeycomb could pure honey be obtained.
"Captain, how's it going?"
Seeing this, Reba quickly ran over.
"The jar is full, we can go back!" Tang Chen handed the jar to Reba and said.
Reba looked down and saw that the jar was filled with honey of an alluring color.
The rich honey aroma made her swallow involuntarily.
"So much?" Reba asked in surprise, "Captain, is there that much honey in the honeycomb?"
"Yes!"
Tang Chen nodded and said, "This is wild honey, no one usually comes to harvest it, so there's a lot of honey in the honeycomb!"
After speaking, Tang Chen put away his tools and said, "Alright, let's pack up and head back to camp. We have to leave before the bees swarm!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Hearing this, Dilraba quickly packed her things and followed Tang Chen back to camp.
Now that they had the honey, there was no need to stay any longer.
Once the smoke dissipated, all the bees would regain their aggression.
With the honey in hand, the two felt happy and their steps quickened. Soon, they returned to camp.
Liu Shi Shi was waiting for them not far away. Seeing Tang Chen and Reba, she quickly ran towards them.
"Captain, you're back?"
Liu Shi Shi ran to Tang Chen's side and asked excitedly.
"Shi Shi Jie, look, this is our harvest!" Dilraba excitedly handed her the jar.
"Wow, so much honey!" Liu Shi Shi's eyes lit up when she saw the bounty, "It smells so good too! I've never smelled such delicious honey before!"
Honey comes in many varieties, each with a distinct flavor.
The floral scent of honey comes from the pollen collected by the bees.
For example, if bees collect pollen from acacia blossoms, the honey will have an acacia flower aroma.
If they gather honey from lavender fields, the honey will have a lavender scent.
The deserted island they were on was covered in tropical plants with a fragrant bouquet.
Therefore, the honey collected by these wild bees also had a unique floral fragrance.
The taste was absolutely perfect.
"This is the most delicious honey I've ever tasted!" Reba licked her lips and said with a smile, "It looks so tempting!"
Tang Chen took off his gloves and face mask and said to them, "Take a bite, try the flavor!"
While collecting honey, he could only smell the sweet and alluring aroma, but he hadn't actually tasted it himself.
After all, they were wearing face masks and couldn't easily take them off.
"Have a bite?"
Reba and Liu Shi Shi's eyes lit up, both a little embarrassed, "Captain, that... that wouldn't be right?"
"What's wrong with that?" Tang Chen chuckled and said to them, "We worked hard to get this honey, shouldn't you have a bite?"
"Hee hee, you're right... Thanks, Captain!"
Hearing this, a joyful smile appeared on Reba's pretty face.
The look in her eyes towards Tang Chen also changed.
"Take off your mask..."
Tang Chen saw that she was still wearing her mask and casually helped her take it off, "It's safe now, no bees will chase you!"
"Thank you, Captain..."
Reba didn't expect Tang Chen to personally take off her mask for her, her pretty face instantly flushed.
Fortunately, the bonfire nearby was also blazing red, concealing her blush.
"No need to always thank me, it sounds too formal." Tang Chen glanced at her and gave her a nod of approval, "You did great today, calm and collected, deserving of praise!"
Reba had done well earlier. Facing swarms of bees, she hadn't panicked at all.
The location of the smoke gun spray was also precise, not clumsy at all.
It made Tang Chen look at her with new eyes.
Reba might have more talent for surviving in the wilderness than the other actresses.
For example, when they were looking for water sources during the day, Reba suggested "digging a trench to divert water."
This was actually a great idea. If it worked, it would save them a lot of trouble.
However, for this season of "Survival on a Deserted Island," they only needed to survive on this island for a month.
If it were a hundred days, this plan would be feasible.
Furthermore, it would be a perfect plan!
"Really?" Reba's smile couldn't be contained, "Thank you for your recognition, Captain, I'll continue to work hard!"
"Yeah!" Tang Chen nodded and said to her, "Hopefully, I'll be able to turn your card over in the next two days. I want to see your diving skills!"
"Okay..."
Dilraba blushed slightly and nodded softly, "Just so happens, I also want to go diving with the Captain..."
