"Alright, we've done what we needed to do. Next..."
Ye Feng had just stood up and hadn't even finished speaking when the bright sunshine that had been shining just a minute ago suddenly turned into a dark cloud cover.
"This damn rainy season!"
He cursed inwardly; he had originally planned to just drop Salra off somewhere and leave…
But that probably won't work now.
Already injured and weak, leaving them here in the rain to fester...
That small chance of survival would immediately vanish, and Salra would be doomed.
But Ye Feng couldn't stay here and wait for her to wake up forever. It was only 4 p.m. at most, and he could still walk for at least two more hours. He couldn't let it go to waste.
Fu Changxiong, who was standing nearby, saw what he was thinking and immediately volunteered.
"Brother, let me carry her on my back."
Ye Feng glanced at the heavy backpack behind Fu Changxiong and asked worriedly:
"Nobita, you have the most stuff on you, are you sure you can manage?"
Hi~
Fu Changxiong flexed his biceps and then pounded his chest…
"Don't worry, it's safe... I, Da Xiong, may not have much else, but I have plenty of stupid strength."
Salla's weight is about the same as Sisi's. I carried Sisi around looking for medicine back then too; it was fine."
Zhan Pengwu echoed this sentiment…
“It’s alright, bro… If he can’t carry it, I’m here. As Buddha said, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.”
"Alright."
Seeing that the two insisted, Ye Feng nodded, but while he agreed verbally, he still took out the things from Fu Changxiong's backpack and divided them up.
This will at least help reduce his weight and make it more comfortable to carry him.
Fortunately, Ye Feng had a raincoat in his bag.
This was originally his own pigskin raincoat, but after he captured Clayvin's modern raincoat, he had left it unused. Now it would come in handy.
After putting the harness on Salla, the group of eight set off again…
But they hadn't even walked out for a few minutes...
"Whoosh!..."
The torrential rain poured down almost instantly, and the group felt a noticeable push against their backs.
Fu Changxiong was already carrying a load of over 100 pounds, and he almost stumbled and fell flat on his face.
Fortunately, Zhan Pengwu was there to catch him in time...
The group, supporting each other, continued their journey, following the map...
Little did they know, this heavy rain indirectly helped them...
Just over half an hour after the eight men left, Lavezzi's seven-man team caught up with them in the grove where they had been collecting moonflowers.
They deduced this by following Ye Feng and his companions based on footprints, some minor traces, and the route they took before the map disappeared.
The group was currently taking shelter from the rain under a large tree.
There was no way around it; Lavezzi really wanted to keep chasing.
But they didn't have raincoats, and the rain came too suddenly, too fast, and too heavy.
As someone who consistently ranks among the top three in wilderness survival skills assessments, he naturally understands this.
If you insist on chasing after someone, you may catch a cold, which will greatly reduce your body's resistance.
At this time, all sorts of viruses and parasites that permeate the air, grasslands, and forests will come after them.
At that point, death will only be a matter of time…
At that moment, Lavezzi was playing with the piece of blackened, rain-soaked jerky in his hand.
He found this when he first arrived here.
It was obvious that the pursuers mostly ate compressed biscuits, while only Ye Feng and the others ate dried meat.
He was different from those teams that were eager to achieve quick success and wanted to devour Ye Feng and his eight-person team in one go.
Lavezzi curled his lips into a sinister smile, revealing a sense of complete control.
He wasn't in a hurry to catch up with Ye Feng; he just wanted to reap the benefits or take the opportunity to ambush and kill Ye Feng.
It now appears that he has completely figured out Ye Feng's course of action.
Even without the hour the map refreshed, he was confident he could find Ye Feng and the others.
"team leader."
Bennett wiped the rain off his body; his thick body hair was so abundant that it had peeked out from under his short-sleeved shirt, and many glistening water droplets clung to it.
"Now that we know Ye Feng's route, when are we going to make our move?"
It's not that I lack patience...
What if we wait until no one else makes a move and Ye Feng reaches the finish line first?
You know, that kid is cunning, and there are paths everywhere in the jungle.
If we accidentally lose them, we'll be dead.
Lavezzi's sneer remained unchanged...
"Don't worry, we won't lose him. As long as he's not discovered, there's no way he'll change his route halfway through."
As he spoke, he glanced at the map on his watch… The pursuers could see the destination, so they knew exactly how far Ye Feng had gone.
"They haven't even gone halfway yet, there's still plenty of time."
We'll just follow behind them and let them clear away those annoying jungle roadblocks for us.
"We'll strike stealthily when the opportunity arises. Don't be fooled by our smaller arsenal; all we need is to kill Ye Feng."
Lavezzi is very smart, and he understands Ye Feng very well, knowing that this person is the brains of the team.
The others were either reckless or completely ignorant about wilderness survival.
Only Liu Sisi has some skill.
But a woman is a woman after all. Without a brain, once Ye Feng is dead, he is absolutely confident that he can use the jungle environment to outmaneuver the rest of them.
The rains in the Amazon rainy season come and go quickly.
The heavy rain didn't last long, stopping after only half an hour.
The gloomy sky brightened again, and the setting sun hung high in the sky once more.
Although it wasn't exactly bright, it was still better than a gloomy, rainy day.
Let's go...
Lavezzi only said two words, and the seven men quickly continued their pursuit.
It had just rained, so Ye Feng and his companions would surely leave more footprints, which was one of the reasons why he wasn't in a hurry at all.
After jogging through forest after forest, finally, after nearly 20 minutes...
They found some muddy footprints left on the leaf litter.
Judging from the different patterns, they are exactly the same as the ones they tracked all the way here.
Once they confirmed it was indeed Ye Feng, the group immediately quickened their pace.
But they hadn't even gone very far...
"Chirp chirp chirp, quack quack quack..."
Suddenly, a loud bird call came from the forest to their right, about 2 o'clock away.
All seven of them turned their heads to look...
Lavezzi's gaze sharpened, a sudden doubt arising within him...
Only wild animals or humans can startle flocks of birds into flight.
He pondered for only a moment, not daring to be negligent, but still felt that the possibility of humans was greater.
There are currently 28 people in 5 teams.
The pursuers appear to be on the same side, but in reality, they are all harboring their own ulterior motives and want to pocket the prize money.
He wouldn't dare entrust his back to other mercenaries who were his competitors.
"It seems another team has arrived. Hide and await my orders."
