At 4: 30 in the afternoon, the wind started to blow on the sea.
Half an hour later, a huge dark cloud floated in the sky … It was so big that it cast a shadow over the entire Carnabis Island and the surrounding sea.
At 5: 15, the captain of the Dolphin cruise ship walked out of the captain's room and looked at the sky. Then, he gave the order to dock and drop the anchor.
Although the director who was not deaf thought this was making a big deal out of nothing, the captain's attitude was firm. "I will not let the ship dock in the middle of the sea in this kind of weather."
Therefore, the ship docked in the end.
…
If the dark cloud was an old RV, then the lightning, storm, and wind were undoubtedly the family of three living in the RV.
At 5: 30, the sky was already roaring with thunder and the wind was howling. However, the rain had yet to fall.
Feng Bujue's [Withdrawal Reaction] also ushered in another wave at this time.
"Haa … Haa …" He leaned against a tree and gasped for air. He mumbled to himself, "This time … Phew … It doesn't seem like I can just endure it …"
A few hours ago, Feng Bujue had already figured out the pattern of the [Withdrawal Reaction] debuff. Therefore, he did not use the marijuana that he found earlier. Instead, he chose to endure it.
However, this wave of symptoms was particularly violent. Not only his Stamina Points, even his Life Points had started to disappear on their own.
"This is not going to work … Even though I plan to use it when the symptoms of mental interference appear, based on this trend … my Life Points will run out sooner or later …" When Feng Bujue thought about this, he reached into his pocket.
"Hey! Stephen, we meet again. "
Just as Brother Jue was about to use the marijuana, Clam Saul's voice suddenly appeared beside him.
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Brother Jue's mind. He was like an efficient computer. When you entered the question, the answer was already out.
Therefore …
"Give me the SCP-500!" This was the first sentence that Brother Jue said when he saw Clam Saul.
Brother Jue's move could be considered to have made full use of the rules. Because the system notification had clearly stated, [Every time you meet Bale, you can use him to retrieve an item from your inventory.] Since that was the case, there was no need to hold back … Just take it first.
Toad Wells was slightly startled when he heard this, but he quickly responded, "Okay, no problem." As he spoke, he put down his backpack and handed over the things that Brother Jue wanted.
Brother Jue was overjoyed when he saw that the other party had really taken out the item. He took the capsule without hesitation and swallowed it in one gulp.
The next second, he opened the game menu and saw that the [Withdrawal Reaction] in the status bar had completely disappeared.
"No wonder it's a miracle drug that can turn zombies back into living people …" Feng Bujue muttered, "… It can even help with detoxification." But then he thought about it. "Sigh … But this is my last pill. I wonder if I'll be able to get something similar in the future."
Brother Jue had indeed planned to do that … If he found SCP-038 (Thousand Shadows Tree) in a certain scenario or met a chemist who could analyze SCP-500, then he would be able to mass-produce this medicine.
If this plan could be realized, then no one would have to worry about Brother Jue not taking his medicine … no, running out of medicine.
"How do you feel?" Toad Wells looked at Feng Bujue for a few seconds and asked, "You looked terrible just now."
"Phew … In any case … I'm fine now." As Brother Jue spoke, he had already stood up.
That was how amazing the medicine was. A person who had been on the brink of death a few seconds ago was back to full health in the blink of an eye.
"Very good. If you weren't in your best condition, it would have troubled me as well," Toad Wells replied. "Now that you're in good condition, I can tell you the 'challenge' mission without worry."
"Challenge, huh?" When Feng Bujue heard that word, the second main mission that appeared in his mind was to complete at least six challenges given by the production team.
But at that moment, he was not focused on the mission but something else …
"Before you tell me that … there is something that I need to clarify …" At this point, there was no need for Brother Jue to pretend anymore, so his attitude was completely different from when he was on the beach. "I believe you already know what I've done, so I'll be frank …" He paused. "Along the way, I've purposely avoided all the cameras, including the area where we're standing now. It's a blind spot …" He looked directly into Toad Wells' eyes. "… I don't understand, how did you find me?"
"Ha … Is that it?" Toad Wells laughed heartily. "It's very simple … I started looking under the tree where you tied Ao Guanhai up and followed you all the way here."
Feng Bujue continued, "But I've already covered up my footprints and other traces."
"Yes, I noticed it, but you didn't do it thoroughly enough." Toad Wells laughed. "It's more than enough to fool the eyes of ordinary people, but I'm an expert."
"Okay, that's very convincing," Feng Bujue replied.
"Also …" Toad Wells continued, "Because you've always chosen to move in the blind spot of the cameras, your route has been greatly limited, which has reduced the difficulty of my tracking."
"Yes …" Feng Bujue agreed. "Only moving in 'places where the cameras can't capture', isn't that the same as narrowing the search range?"
"Haha … Of course, I can't blame you for this," Toad Wells said. "This isn't a fair contest to begin with. After all, 90% of this island is covered by the cameras. It's already very impressive that you can avoid the cameras and move long distances." He paused for two seconds. "If you're interested, we can have a real 'hunting game' in the wilderness without cameras in the future."
"Uh … Let's talk about it later …" For some reason, Feng Bujue instantly recalled the experience of being hunted by Reigns Ford on Hunter Island. He had a feeling that if the hunter had been Toad Wells, the situation would have been even more serious … And the result was very likely to be eaten.
"So, are you ready to listen to your own challenge now, Stephen?" "Toad Wells." Clam Wells acted like a host again. He glanced at the floating camera that had been following him the whole time.
"Well … Go ahead," Feng Bujue replied casually.
At this moment, Brother Jue couldn't help but imagine a set of images in his mind. Toad Wells was tracking the footprints of "Stephen Carbon" while explaining to the camera, "Look, those are human footprints. Although he has tried to cover it up, there are still traces left behind. I think he just left not long ago, and we can catch up with him soon.
There are many ways to catch humans. The most effective way is to throw them down and hit them hard on the back of the head. We can also use a sharp weapon to quickly cut their necks, so it will be less painful.
Most of the human flesh is edible. It is rich in protein, fat, minerals, and trace elements. One pound of human flesh can provide you with the calories you need for a whole day … "
"Listen, your first challenge is …" Toad Wells' words pulled Brother Jue back from his fantasy. "Hunting a crocodile."
[Side mission has been triggered]
Before his voice died away, the system prompt came. Brother Jue opened the game menu and saw a side mission in the mission bar: [Find and kill the Galalligator in the swamp.]
"Oh?" Feng Bujue said, "This is the rhythm of doing a side mission while doing the main mission …"
"Considering the danger of this challenge, I will personally give you a demonstration." On the other hand, Toad Wells was not finished. "You have to watch my every move carefully and remember every key point I say, understand?"
"Well … Okay," Feng Bujue replied.
"Okay, follow me," Toad Wells said, turned around and jogged. He waved his hand and signaled Brother Jue to follow.
Feng Bujue didn't say much and ran.
After taking the potion, Feng Bujue was in good physical condition. The weight on his body was only a 0.85 kilogram military shovel, two sticks of marijuana, and a pair of handcuffs. In this state, if he couldn't catch up with Toad Wells who was carrying a huge backpack, it would be too inexcusable.
With Toad Wells leading the way, Feng Bujue scampered through the forest.
Five minutes later, they came to the edge of a swamp.
"This is it." Toad Wells stopped and put down his backpack. "There are many alligators in this swamp …" He didn't speak to Brother Jue but explained to the camera. "In the United States, the number of alligators attacking humans is increasing rapidly. In the past ten years, more people have been killed by alligators than in the previous thirty years. Of course, on this small island far away from human civilization, there shouldn't be such a thing … "When he said this, he had already stepped on the water plants and muddy stones and walked into the swamp." But alligators are alligators. They are dangerous and deadly … "
Feng Bujue didn't want to interrupt Toad Wells. In fact, he liked listening to this kind of explanation … So, Brother Jue just held the military shovel tightly and followed behind him silently.
"Once you encounter one, how should you deal with it?" Toad Wells looked at the camera and picked up a piece of driftwood that was more than one meter long and as thick as a human arm from the swamp. "Now, let me show you." He turned his head and looked to the side. "Look, there is one over there … It has also seen us. We have to walk over slowly." As he said this, he bent down and walked over quietly.
Seeing this, Feng Bujue couldn't help but complain in his heart. "Although I don't know if this guy is teaching me or teaching the audience … I just want to say … Alligator, it's not too late for you to run now …"
