"Did you see anyone else on the way here?" Jiang Rong asked.
"No, no." Jiang Zhao said, "Our drop-off point isn't far from here. I just walked in a random direction."
Jiang Rong touched his chin.
It's true that she is not rich, but these two people seem to be very lucky.
"You guys," Jiang Rong ordered, "now choose a direction to go."
Jiang Zhao said cautiously, "Auntie, this is an important matter that you should decide for yourself. If we take the wrong road, won't it waste your time?"
Jiang Rong: “.”
022: [If you were to choose, you would definitely fall into someone else's trap in less than an hour. How could they treat an African so cruelly!]
Jiang Rong: [...Shut up.]
"Just choose what you're told to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Jiang Rong kicked Jiang Zhao. "Hurry up."
Jiang Zhao and Jin Pengxing looked at each other, and Jiang Zhao said, "How about... the left side?"
Jiang Rong walked the two of them like a dog, taking the left path and instructed, "Check along the way for any signs of life. I'm looking for Song Yanzhen."
How could the two dare to object? They searched everywhere for people in a very nervous manner, but there was no trace of Song Yanzhen, let alone anyone else.
Suddenly, a broadcast sounded in the forest: "Candidate number 41 killed candidate number 101."
"Candidate number 41 killed candidate number 78."
The three of them paused.
The exam had just started for less than two hours when a kill had already occurred. The 41 kills were not even against sophomores, but against examinees.
Compared with the lively broadcast notifications, the progress on Jiang Rong's side can be described as zero. Until it was almost dark, Jiang Rong had no news of Song Yanzhen.
022 analyzed: [Teacher Jiang, I actually think there is something wrong with your way of thinking.]
【Um? 】
022 said: [Look, you're a non-European, but Song Yan is a real European! Instead of going through all the trouble to find him, you might as well stay where you are and wait for him to find you.]
[You should know that this world is very tolerant of European emperors. ]
Jiang Rong: [……] Although I don’t really want to admit it, what 022 said makes sense.
Then Jin Pengxing and Jiang Zhao discovered that Jiang Rong had stopped moving and found a big tree nearby.
This tree has been alive for at least several hundred years. Its roots are twisted and developed, forming a natural cave. Jiang Rong instructed the two to clean it out.
Jiang Zhao looked at Jiang Rong's face and asked carefully, "Auntie, are we staying here tonight?"
"Yeah." There was a lot of vegetation in the rainforest, and Jiang Rong quickly found what he wanted.
She bent down and dug out a lot of tree roots with a dagger. After cleaning them, she picked and chose, and found a stone with a depression in the middle. She said, "Bring back some thick sticks."
After saying that, he remembered something and smiled at the two of them: "If you leave my sight, I will shoot immediately. You may not know that I am a pretty good shot. I guarantee a headshot."
The two people who were calculating in their hearts: "..."
Once shot, the sensor will automatically release anesthetic. The amount of drug injected in the headshot can knock out an elephant. They will completely lose consciousness and will not know what Jiang Rong is doing to them.
"So, be obedient." Jiang Rong said, "I won't kill you easily. Perhaps following me can help you live longer."
"...Auntie, what are you talking about!" Jiang Zhao said quickly: "Why would we want to run away? Auntie is so powerful, we wish we could follow you all the time!"
"Go ahead." Jiang Rong said with a smile.
The two men did not dare to plan to escape, and quickly found a lot of thick wooden sticks as Jiang Rong requested.
There are so many insects in the rainforest. If you make your bed on the ground and wake up the next day to see the illustrated version of "Insect Life" on your body, that is definitely not a good experience.
So Jiang Rong asked them to use wooden sticks to raise the bed frame to avoid catching a cold from contact with the wet ground and to avoid many insects.
Seeing Jiang Rong fiddling with the pile of tree roots, Jin Pengxing came over like a lackey: "Boss, what is this?"
Jiang Rong glanced at him and said, "The roots of the Nipa palm tree."
Jin Pengxing is a cultural desert, confused: "What palm?"
"Boil it with water. Black salt crystals will precipitate after the water is boiled away. This is a relatively primitive way to obtain salt." Jiang Rong said in a calm voice.
Jin Pengxing was surprised: "This thing can be boiled into salt?"
Jiang Rong didn't answer. Jin Pengxing coughed and said, "Then Boss, I'll help you light the fire. I know how to do it!"
As he spoke, he fiddled with the tools for making fire, looking quite competent. "I learned this from a retired soldier before. He called it the bowstring drilling method, and it's much faster than that hand drill method."
Jiang Rong raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "You can also do this."
"Children from poor families have to grow up early. I know a little bit about everything." Jin Pengxing said flatteringly.
Jiang Rong looked at his face which showed his evil intentions.
This man is still too young. Whatever he thinks in his heart is reflected in his eyes, and he will not hide it at all. Just like now, he smiled ingratiatingly at Jiang Rong, but his eyes were full of greed and hatred.
Jiang Rong smiled, built a frame fire with dry firewood, and then took out a pistol.
"Auntie, please spare me, please spare me!" Jin Pengxing's scalp went numb when he saw her holding a gun, and he begged for mercy quickly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Rong ignored him and took out a bullet from the magazine. After pulling out the bullet, he poured out two-thirds of the propellant and sprinkled it on the flammable dry grass.
Then she stuffed the empty space of the shell with dry grass, pushed the shell into the chamber, and put the muzzle close to the fuse. With a "bang", the dry grass was instantly ignited.
Jiang Rong retracted the gun and looked at Jin Pengxing, whose hands were about to be broken by the drilling: "I have a faster way."
Jin Pengxing: “…”
Jin Pengxing silently threw away the tools in his hand.
When the fire was burning, Jiang Rong put the stone pot on it and started to boil salt. Jin Pengxing no longer dared to show off, and went with Jiang Zhao to catch two pheasants and roasted them over the fire.
After all the water in the stone pot evaporated, black crystals really precipitated out. Jiang Zhao tasted it and found that it was indeed salty.
Because of the salt that was hard to come by in the wild, the dinner tasted so much better. Jiang Zhao and Jin Pengxing wanted to run away before, but now, as they were eating the roasted pheasant that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with following Jiang Rong.
At least the food is good.
Just after finishing dinner, Jiang Zhao suddenly said, "Boss! Someone seems to be coming!"
Jiang Rong immediately grabbed the butterfly knife in his pocket and crawled out of the tree hole to take a look.
By this time, night had fallen, with only sporadic moonlight shining through. With this little light, one could clearly see a sneaky black shadow approaching from afar, at an extremely fast speed, and it would be close in less than two minutes!
