Chapter 4 Natural Born Killers (Part 2)

The next morning, most people got up early, and only He Huai and Tiger (i.e., the fake Jamal) were still asleep.

He Huai is weak and older, so although he did not work more yesterday than others, he still couldn't afford to be tired.

Tiger got up in the early morning to conspire with Daniel, which caused him to sleep for a while; and because the two of them conspired to reach an "alliance" agreement, he slept very peacefully after falling asleep again.

Seeing that the two men had not gotten up, Ran Xiangtian didn't say much. He simply asked Kunte, who was responsible for guarding the last night, to go to bed and let those who had woken up freely. It was not until two hours later that the sun was fully raised and the time was about 8 o'clock in the morning that he woke everyone up and gathered them.

At this time, the other seven people seemed to have assumed that Ran Xiangtian was the leader of this small team. At least on the surface, everyone was used to listening to his orders.

"Everyone, although Ping An came over yesterday, I just said that there are still many problems that have not been solved..." Ran Xiangtian opened with such a sentence, first showing off his professional knowledge, and then put forward a suggestion to change the camping site.

Where to change? Actually, he doesn't know now, but the goal is clear, which is to find a place not too far from the water source.

This is undoubtedly the right thing to do, because it is difficult to maintain the survival of these eight people by relying solely on the mineral water found in the airdrop box; yesterday was their first day in the jungle, so they were in good health, even if they drank less water and only had a meal, they could tolerate it, but as they stayed here for longer, the demand for water and food would soon become more urgent.

As a well-known wild survival expert, Ran Xiangtian is very familiar with this; he is very clear about what physiological and psychological changes a person will have when he is hungry and thirsty, and also knows how short the changes will have a devastating impact on individuals and teams. Therefore, he must solve these basic problems before things get worse.

Some people may wonder why Ran Xiangtian had to lead this team so hard and hard? If he acted alone, it would be easier, and the resources he found could be enjoyed exclusively.

Admittedly, that is the fact. Ran Xiangtian did consider that plan, but that was not his best choice, and it can only be regarded as a "backup plan".

A person naturally has benefits, but there are corresponding risks: for example, when encountering an accident, you cannot seek help from others; for example, when you sleep, you can only rely on alarm devices, which leads to psychological pressure and not sleeping soundly; the most important thing is that Ran Xiangtian is still not sure what this "survival game" is, who is it, and what purpose... to capture himself? How can he escape? What risks do you need to take to escape? How much price should you pay?

Taking into account the above factors, it is still necessary to stay with the team before the unsolved mystery is concluded; after all... seven people are equivalent to seven cannon fodder. Because of their existence, many actions have error tolerance. Ran Xiangtian only needs to ensure that when something "wrong" is not the one who sacrifices himself.

…………

The discussion did not last long, and Ran Xiangtian only took more than ten minutes to convince everyone.

Then, they packed up, brought the existing supplies and set off.

Today they did not act in groups because they decided to change camps and let everyone go together, so they no longer have to "return to meet" and waste their energy.

After leaving nothing, eight people walked for more than an hour, they arrived at the farthest place that Tiger and Kunny had been to yesterday.

There are two reasons why they chose the route these two have taken: First, the distance they explored yesterday was the shortest, and they came back the latest because Tiger spent a lot of time making wild boar traps and ambushed for a long time, so, going in their direction, you will soon be able to enter an unexplored area.

Second, since it is clear that an uncaught wild boar has appeared near that area, it can be used as a clue to track the traces left by the animals. Even if the water source cannot be found, at least the animals can be found...

"There are really traps..." When the trap that Tiger dug yesterday came into sight, Daniel muttered in an undeniable tone.

Tiger immediately replied in an angry tone: "What does it mean? Do you think I'm lying?"

Daniel shrugged and glanced at Tiger with disdain, without replying.

Tiger suddenly looked furious and grabbed Daniel's neckline: "You made it clear to me, what do you mean?"

The acting skills of these two are quite realistic, but even if they can deceive others, they can't deceive Yan Wushang.

Yan Wushang knew that they were deliberately acting for everyone to see this. The more people who secretly colluded, the more they should make others think that they had a bad relationship so that they would not be suspected.

"Okay, okay, don't do this, everyone will give in." A few seconds later, Ran Xiangtian came to dissuade the two of them.

It is said that this kind of peacemaker role is more suitable for He Huai, but because he was almost pushed to the fire by Tiger last night, He Huai is not afraid to get close to the other party at all.

The first thought that came to mind after seeing the trap was: "So what Jamal said is actually true? Kunny really didn't help anything when Jamal caught the wild boar, and when he returned to the camp, he deliberately pretended to be bullied and misled everyone?"

Of course, they didn't say this question, just muttered silently in their hearts...

Soon, the quarrel between Tiger and Daniel stopped. The two of them were just doing things and didn't plan to make a real trouble, so they quickly went down when they saw that there were steps.

After Ran Xiangtian persuaded them, he once again used his expert's expertise. He first pointed out the problems of the traps made by Tiger in the past, and then found the traces left by the wild boar and began to lead everyone to follow them.

…………

They walked for another half an hour, and during this period they found two airdrop boxes, the first containing three cans, two small bags of chocolate and a small bag of salt, the second containing an iron hanging pot, three thickened marching kettles, and a long-handled soup spoon.

These tableware and processed food boosted the morale of the crowd, and the fatigue accumulated from the jungle trek this morning seemed to have been greatly reduced.

Finally, as it was approaching noon, a clear sound of water flowing came into everyone's ears. They accelerated their pace and pushed aside the dense forest. A small river that was more than five meters wide and was about the depth of the knees came into view.

The moment she saw the river, kunny was the first to rush over to cheer. She didn't want to drink water, but wanted to wash her face...

"Don't forget that this water cannot be drunk, it can only be used for cleaning." Seeing this, Ran Xiangtian raised his voice and reminded the other party.

He had already said this to everyone on the way here. Without any chance of it, the water in the wild cannot be directly drunk.

Although we often see the god-like operation of the four masters and apprentices in "Journey to the West" by "scooping water from the river with purple gold bowls and sending it to their mouths", please remember that they are really gods, or they are reincarnations of gods.

If a normal person does this, something will happen...

Untreated wild water is full of bacteria and parasites, and there are many impurities visible to the naked eye. Many animals will excrete in the river... Drinking this type of raw water directly will cause diarrhea and stomach loss. In the worst case, acute gastroenteritis, parasitic diseases, cholera, etc. If you get sick in the wild, you will easily die of acute illness and poor sanitation conditions.

Of course, even if Ran Xiangtian didn't say this, several of the other seven people knew about it.

But no matter what, finding the water source still made everyone have a carnival, especially the two ladies, who are undoubtedly more urgent for cleaning than those of the sloppy men.

In this way, everyone stayed by the river for a while, then moved to an open space slightly away from the river, and began to camp and cook.

Now they have a pot, and they have a lot of things they can make, and they are safer in terms of food hygiene.

The water source is no longer a problem. In addition to the pots and kettles I picked up today, they did not throw away the empty mineral water bottles I drank yesterday, and they could use them to store water. In addition, they also brought all the tools, weapons, and the wild boar meat they had been baked and wrapped.

It is said that "the six men each took a few things to go on the road", but in fact, Yan Wushang was the one who carried the most weight. After all, he is a "capable person". How much effort is the capable person... He doesn't mind because he has unlimited physical strength.

The food at noon that day was more hearty than yesterday. The soup made with canned fish and the hot wild boar sprinkled with salt were all made by Mail, a professional chef. This is no longer survival, but more like a picnic.

Just as the eight people were happily eating the wild game, suddenly...

The huge beep sounded again from the air.

With a new round of airdrops, the electronic sound without any sense of color began to broadcast again: [day2, polar bear 35, cold weapons 25, hot weapons 15, auxiliary tools and consumables 25, airdrop starts]

"What?"

"Polar Bear? I heard it right?"

"Hey... can this endangered species that is strictly prohibited from smuggling actually get thirty-five?"

When others were still surprised by the content of the broadcast, Yan Wushang calmly said in his heart: "Will this come the next day... According to this trend, dinosaurs should be released tomorrow..."

"Everyone! Be calm." A few seconds later, Ran Xiangtian raised his voice and attracted everyone's attention. "Even if the broadcast is true, there is nothing to be afraid of." He paused and continued, "The thirty wild boars dropped yesterday, eight of us met only two of them separately, which means that the airdrop area is very large... and today's polar bears are only five more than wild boars. Unless we deliberately look for them, the probability of meeting them will not be very high. Let's take a step back, today's airdrop contains twenty-five hot weapons. As long as we can find one of them, it is enough to protect ourselves in front of the bear."

"It makes sense." kunny nodded at this time and cast a charming look at Yan Wushang, "What's more, we still have a capable person here."

That being said, but... Ran Xiangtian himself didn't believe what he said.

How could Ran Xiangtian, a professional, not knowing how terrible a polar bear is? Compared with polar bears, wild boars are like Chihuahuas.

Polar bears are not only the largest land predator, but also one of the very few bears that will actively attack humans. With a weight of nearly 800 kilograms, they can tear bones and even metal teeth and claws, as well as the 100-meter sprint speed that surpasses the human Olympic champion, are all combat powers that humans cannot compete with.

Even those with ability will find it difficult to be unharmed by the attack of adult polar bears until their strength reaches a certain level; if an ordinary person without superpowers and weapons is almost dead and alive when attacked.

Ran Xiangtian understood these things, but he chose to report good news but not bad news because he felt that there was no need to make these people panic, so as not to cause any trouble.

As long as everyone maintains calmness and order and supports his leadership, after finding the "hot weapons", he can naturally give priority to the distribution.

…………

Forty minutes later, after everyone finished lunch, they took a short rest and then teamed up to explore again.

Now that there are new camps that can be used for a long time, most people's mentality has also changed, and their enthusiasm for finding supplies has also increased.

In order to increase the scope of exploration as much as possible, Ran Xiangtian arranged a very bold team method this time: Kunny, Mel and Kunte stayed to guard the camp, and the other five, except Daniel and He Huai, ran along with each other.

This is indeed reasonable: the two women cannot help transport too much things and will slow down the pace of exploration, so it is better for them to stay in the camp. Considering that the camp itself may also be attacked by animals, another man has to be left as insurance.

Tiger is definitely the first choice to rule out. After yesterday's incident, it is obviously inappropriate to keep him alone with two women; Daniel is a good choice, but Ran Xiangtian thought about it and thought that if Daniel stayed, He Huai would become a problem again... Because He Huai was a waste in Ran Xiangtian's eyes, and someone needed to take him with him. Kunte was still a half-aged child, and I'm afraid he couldn't take him, so let Daniel take him. Kunte stayed in the camp to protect the two girls. Seeing his performance this day and a half, everyone was more at ease with him.

As for Ran Xiangtian himself, Tiger, and Yan Wushang, they are all people who can stand on their own, so they are naturally the most efficient way to go.

Everyone had no objection to this arrangement, so at about 1:00 pm, five people divided into four teams and headed in four directions.

At this time, no one had thought that when I had supper that night, only half of the living people in the camp were left...
