Jin Mantang was a smart man, and smart men rarely talk nonsense.
So after hearing Jin Mantang's words, Gou Fugui narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then asked the key question directly: "What noise did you hear?"
Jin Mantang's thick eyebrows and big eyes lit up, and he told them what he had heard and guessed without hesitation.
"It was actually a coincidence," Jin Mantang laughed. "When you came back this afternoon, I shielded you, didn't I? When I was shielding you, I noticed that several people from the tents to my right were watching you."
"It's nothing really, everyone's curious, right? But when I went to the toilet half an hour ago, I passed by those people's tent and heard them talking about you."
"Actually, they might not be talking about you. They're talking about the kid who caught the big fish."
"But the only people who caught a big fish these past two days, besides that fierce captain, are you, Brother Fugui. Personally, I think if they really want to hire someone to do it, cough."
Jin Mantang paused for a moment: "Shouldn't you pick on the weakest one?"
"I was a little curious, so I crouched down outside the tent next to them and eavesdropped. It turns out they're going to go out with us tomorrow and find a secluded spot to do something."
"Actually, I'm not sure if what I heard is right or wrong, but since I heard it, even if there's only a slight possibility, I still want to remind you."
Jin Mantang understood the principle that cultivating good relationships was essential for long-term survival. Besides, he genuinely found this wealthy brother quite agreeable.
Gou Fugui closed his eyes and tried to recall, managing to remember the few people on the right side of the first row of tents that afternoon.
He didn't pay attention to their appearance, but his impression was that they were all very muscular men.
Gou Fugui scoffed lightly.
It's true that in every world there are scumbags who want to gain without working and who resort to robbing and plunder.
"Thanks, brother. Regardless of whether they're targeting me or not, I appreciate your favor."
As Gou Fugui spoke, he pulled over a large net bag covered by clothes in the corner of his tent, picked out a can of milk powder, two packs of ham sausages, and a five-pack of instant noodles, and stuffed them into Jin Mantang's hands.
"This is a thank-you gift; I can't let you make this trip for nothing."
Even if Jin Mantang's reminder was just a side effect, his presence was still a help to him, and the act of tipping him off also brought him some risk.
Jin Mantang was a little stunned when his arms were suddenly stuffed full, but he quickly recovered and decisively took off a diamond ring from his hand and stuffed it into Gou Fugui's hand.
"Hey, I already told you I'm just here to remind you that the items need to be replaced."
"Brother, don't refuse. The rings on my hand are becoming less and less valuable these days. Besides, after those people showed up, I'm starting to panic about wearing so many rings. It's fine for a short time, but they might become a nuisance in the long run."
"Instead of letting someone else benefit from it, I'd rather give it to you as an ornament, brother."
Jin Mantang then gave a sincere smile: "There's no need to be so polite among brothers. I hope we can get through this together."
The fact that Gou Fugui directly gave him the items confirms that this handsome, long-haired young man is not the type to betray his teammates at crucial moments. Moreover, he is a smart and capable person, and it wouldn't be a loss to make him a friend or brother.
Gou Fugui laughed too. His thoughts were similar to Jin Mantang's, and he felt that Jin Mantang was indeed someone whose name he shared with him.
"I hope we can all get through this difficult time."
After saying this, Gou Fugui paused for a moment: "If you have the chance, prepare more inflatable life-saving flotation devices. Also, if this place gets flooded and you don't know where to go... you can follow... to go."
As Gou Fugui spoke, he pointed twice to tent 224 on his right. Jin Mantang understood his meaning without him having to say Xie Tianlang's name.
Jin Mantang first showed a rather dejected expression, then nodded with a wry smile: "Thanks for reminding me, brother. But will things really get that bad?"
The worst-case scenario he imagined was that he would be trapped in the safe zone for ten days or half a month. Even if the typhoon and tsunami were powerful, could they continue to flood the entire city?
But the person standing before him this year shattered his self-respect; those eyes, bright yet utterly calm in the darkness, awakened him.
In that case, he will need to start collecting more useful things starting tomorrow.
Jin Mantang left with a heavy heart.
Gou Fugui didn't sleep for the next hour. He was thinking about how to deal with a potential crisis.
Perhaps because the apocalypse has only just begun, the order that hasn't collapsed is still trying its best to conceal the most terrifying and cruel side of the end times. So much so that he, with his cheat-like abilities, couldn't help but be somewhat dismissive, but Jin Mantang's words tonight reminded him.
This is not an ordinary world.
This world is heading towards its end.
When you're at your wit's end, the most terrifying thing, besides the gradually collapsing world, is the will to survive that comes from your own kind.
Even if he could become a sea otter and drift away to the ends of the earth in the apocalypse, when life is uncertain, a sea otter is nothing more than a piece of fresh meat in the eyes of humans.
Gou Fugui extended his left hand and gently tapped his wrist twice.
A huge, golden book appeared in his mind.
The manual is currently on its first page, which shows a round little sea otter lying on the surface of the water, rubbing its face. It looks incredibly cute.
Then Gou Fugui reached out and turned the page.
The second page features a majestic husky with three bright blue eyes and a striking eyebrow. This guy has extremely high looks and an imposing presence even without saying a word, but Gou Fugui knows how frustrating it can be when it acts silly and destroys the house.
Gou Fugui turned the page to the second page expressionlessly.
What came into view was a large, square fox face with a highly sarcastic expression, as if mocking Gou Fugui's naivety and weakness.
Gou Fugui gritted his teeth and quickly turned the page. He couldn't possibly defeat his enemy with a mocking face, could he?
Then the wealthy beauty, who was dedicated to collecting bizarre and cute things, quickly flipped through more than a dozen useless cute but useless creatures, such as the fainting sheep, the screaming groundhog, the "master of speed" sloth, and the naturally mischievous raccoon.
As he flipped through the pages, his expression growing increasingly blank, and his despair intensifying, suddenly—he saw a glimmer of hope!
Compared to those cute but useless creatures before, this adorable thing in front of us is simply the king of cute creatures and the number one boss in the world of oddballs!
With a buzz cut, silver hair, and a white cloak, he spent his entire life on the battlefield!
They're either fighting or on their way to a fight; they're indifferent to life and death, and they'll fight anyone who disagrees!
Looking at the honey badger in the photo, with its slightly raised chin, black eyes that seemed to be filled with contempt and disdain, and its glossy black fur and white crew cut, Gou Fugui had never thought that this guy was so mighty and powerful!
In the water, his sea otter bloodline allows him to swim past most ordinary people, but on land, his safety is not so guaranteed.
But it doesn't matter, it's time for the honey badger, Fugui, to make his appearance.
When it comes to fighting, Da Mi has never backed down!
So, on the third night in the stadium's safe zone, the wealthy beauty lit up his second adorable doomsday prophecy.
He slept soundly.
And the next morning, he took his own food and a large net and left the stadium.
Three minutes after he left the stadium, the three men in the three tents on the right side of the first row, who had been silently watching Jin Mantang, also casually carried their bags and went out together.
Jin Mantang frowned, hoping that his wealthy brother wouldn't be caught up by these three people.
It's obvious that their goal is wealth and status.
At that moment, Jin Mantang saw someone casually grab a net and go out.
The man was extremely tall with a powerful and perfect physique. Although he walked out in a very casual manner, his back was ramrod straight.
It inexplicably brings a sense of pressure.
"...Wow, that's a formidable person."
Jin Mantang muttered something under his breath, and then inexplicably felt that this tough guy was after the three people who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Today, Gou Fugui's main task is to find medicine and life-saving equipment, and hopefully an inflatable raft as well.
Perhaps he was just unlucky. After a whole morning and noon, he searched two water sports shops using the map but couldn't find an inflatable raft. However, he did find two inflatable life rings, a high-quality surfboard, and some water sports whistles, flashlights, and other items.
With some sealed food I grabbed along the way, it was quite a full load.
Gou Fugui pulled out a waterproof watch he had retrieved and checked the time: 3 PM. He decided to swim back, but first he would detour to another outdoor equipment store to see if he could find an inflatable raft in their warehouse.
This time, Gou Fugui still couldn't find an inflatable raft, but he did manage to retrieve a large waterproof suitcase from a luggage store. He put everything he had retrieved into the suitcase and swam back with it.
Half an hour later, Gou Fugui could see the stadium from his location. This small park was the only way to the stadium, and because of its elevated terrain, the water only reached Gou Fugui's calves.
In front of Gou Fugui, in the pavilion of the small park, sat three men eating potato chips, spicy strips, and sausages.
Oh, and there's a can of milk powder, the Niuhuahua brand.
Gou Fugui: "..."
He remarked that the whole day had been so peaceful.
It turns out these people understand the principles of waiting patiently for opportunities to come to them and taking advantage of their own strength.
"Brother, you finally found our box! Thanks! Leave the box here, then you can go."
The most robust of the three, a man with a full beard, chuckled twice at Gou Fugui and started spouting nonsense.
Gou Fugui glanced around. The heavy rain limited his vision, and at least he could see that there was no one else around him.
What if I don't give it to them?
The three people in the pavilion were not surprised to hear this, but they all sneered and jumped up as fast as they could, rushing towards Gou Fugui without saying a word.
"Then don't blame us for being impolite!"
He's just a pretty boy with long hair, and he thinks he can go toe-to-toe with those three brothers?!
Gou Fugui sneered inwardly as he watched the three men rushing towards him.
He raised his right hand and slapped his left wrist hard; in the pouring rain, his expression and demeanor suddenly changed—
[Honey Badger Fugui: I'm the fiercest in Africa!]
Author's Note:
The Honey Badger in its opulent humanoid form makes a dazzling appearance!
Honey Badger Fugui: What are you looking at? You definitely can't beat me!
