Qi Xiaoyan, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back anymore either. She hugged Ye Feng tightly, tears welling up in her eyes...

If Ye Feng hadn't ordered them to leave beforehand, they would have been completely wiped out...

"Brother Feng, thank you..."

Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie were also embracing tightly, and everyone present except Ye Feng was crying...

Ye Feng knew they weren't just sad or being sentimental. It was the overwhelming emotion of surviving a natural disaster…

No one but those who are actually there can truly understand…

After a while, Ye Feng had the two women help him stand up…

He slowly turned his gaze to the sky, feeling the dense raindrops pattering on his face, a mocking smile playing on his lips…

He raised two middle fingers high toward the dark clouds and whispered in a contemptuous tone:

"Hmph, I told you, you can't kill me. In this game... I've won..."

Fu Changxiong stared blankly in the direction Ye Feng was looking, his face full of confusion…

"Hey bro, who are you talking to?"

Ye Feng continued looking at the sky, but shook his head…

"Nobody... Oh right, Nobita, I really have to thank you this time. If you hadn't pulled me out so quickly, I probably would have been torn to pieces."

Fu Changxiong waved his hands repeatedly…

"Don't say that. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago."

Besides, I only put in a little effort. It was Sisi who came up with the idea, and Xiaojieba who threw the stones.

Little Stutterer and I wanted to help you up, but the slope was too slippery, and we both fell several times.

Hearing this, Ye Feng gently patted Liu Sisi's head again...

"Sisi, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Thank you."

Liu Sisi wiped away her tears, then flashed her signature wide smile again…

"What are you saying, Brother Feng? You are our pillar of strength. If you die, we won't be able to live either. Saving you is the only right thing to do."

Ye Feng smiled and nodded, saying that time will tell.

A friend who will give up running away and lend you a hand in times of crisis is extremely rare... especially in this game...

At this moment, Ye Feng's impression of the group had changed significantly...

It turns out that although he did have feelings for these people, he mostly treated them as tools, and even chose to abandon them when necessary...

But after this experience, he completely accepted them and treated them as brothers and sisters who would depend on him for life...

"hiss……"

Ye Feng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left knee. He looked down and saw that his pants were soaked in blood...

He also felt his whole body trembling uncontrollably, which was probably a side effect of the adrenaline rush...

"Brother Feng..."

Qi Xiaoyan quickly took out the first aid kit...

"Let's get it bandaged up inside the tent quickly, it'll be troublesome if it gets infected..."

Ye Feng was helped into the shed, and when he lifted his trouser leg, he discovered that a large patch of skin had been rubbed off his knee...

If it goes another 0.5 centimeters deeper, I think we can see the bone...

After the wound was disinfected and bandaged, he tried moving it around and found that there was nothing wrong with his bones, only a superficial injury. He breathed a sigh of relief...

"Row quickly, row north... There are too many hills here, and if the rain continues, they might all collapse. Then we won't be able to escape..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie immediately started rowing, and under Ye Feng's instructions, they rowed northwards...

Along the way, the river was filled with floating trees and weeds... and the current was much slower than before...

Sometimes, a single stroke of the oar can stir up quite a bit of mud and sand…

This proves that Ye Feng's guess was correct; there was too much mud mixed in with the water, and the river was almost turning into mud...

If it weren't for the continuous rain, their raft would probably have been stuck long ago...

Fortunately, the route Ye Feng found despite the danger was quite accurate.

Although there were some minor hiccups along the way, it all turned out alright in the end.

They avoided most of the mudslide's path...

Around 9 p.m., after taking turns paddling for more than two hours, the group finally left the dangerous hillside area...

They were all slumped in the shed, looking like wilted eggplants, their expressions showing utter exhaustion.

After a thrilling and dangerous day of escape, they were both mentally and physically exhausted, and fell asleep sitting down...

But Ye Feng was still not entirely at ease, so he took out a flashlight from his bag…

This was taken from Chen Xianyong and his companion; there were probably still two bars of electricity left…

Because this thing is rather useless in the jungle—it's not needed during the day, and you wouldn't know how to use it at night if you're not traveling—he just left it there…

I never expected it would come in handy at this time...

He carefully observed his surroundings and checked the water quality and the river's flow rate...

It was discovered that they had indeed left that area...

This can be easily seen from the splashing sounds made by the fish in the river from time to time...

Because many fish generally don't live in fast-flowing, murky water...

This means they are truly safe...

This rainy season caused them to lose their campsite, treehouse, and the resource-rich hillside they depended on for survival…

Ye Feng's original plan was to rely on the mountains and rivers for sustenance and survive for 100 days.

But the sudden onslaught of torrential rains destroyed everything and completely disrupted his survival plans.

Now the mountains are gone, but water is everywhere. Humanity's home turf is on land; it's impossible for us to stay on the water forever…

Given the current situation, the only option is to find a new campsite…

One night passed—

The next morning, Ye Feng was awakened by a shower of rain. He groggily opened his eyes...

I slept so soundly last night that my mind somehow wandered outside the shed...

He slowly stood up, watching the raindrops falling softly from the sky…

He gradually smiled, and the rain... lessened...

This is absolutely fantastic news.

Provided rainfall doesn't become so extreme, these rising river levels will gradually flow from each basin into the Atlantic Ocean over time…

It's only a matter of time before the tide goes out, and then he'll have many more campsites to choose from.

Ye Feng looked around. After a night of drifting, they were now in a vast river that seemed to stretch to the horizon…

If he hadn't seen the color of the river, he would have even suspected he had come to sea…

Clearly, the victims of this torrential rain were not just those five people…

"Thump!"

Just as he was observing, a sound suddenly came from the bottom of the raft…

It felt like I'd been hit by something...

Ye Feng already had an injury to his left leg, and the raft's rocking nearly caused him to fall into the water...

After regaining his balance, his brows furrowed again…

"Could it be? That it ran aground?"
