"Zhan Pengfei, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Ye Feng's gloomy face, Zhan Pengfei not only didn't explain, but also forced a happy smile and excitedly pointed at the tree trunk...
“Brother Feng, look, my brother has come to find me. They’ve been looking for me for ages.”
Ye Feng leaned closer for a closer look and saw that the character "武" (wu, meaning martial arts) was carved on the tree.
The horizontal stroke in the middle of the character "武" is clearly slanted.
Having made many marks, he immediately recognized that this was marking a route.
The end of that horizontal line points to the direction to move forward.
The color of the bark inside is determined by the depth of these strokes.
It must have been carved a day or two ago.
"That's a good trick. I'll use this method to make marks later."
It points out the direction while remaining easily overlooked.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Feng asked:
How did you discover this character?
Zhan Pengfei looked around and finally pointed to a crooked tree not far behind him.
"When I first arrived here, it felt very familiar, but there were trees everywhere, so I didn't think much of it."
I only discovered this crooked tree when I was peeing just now.
After looking around for a while, I remembered the first time my brother and I arrived here…
This is the road I took. I even rested under this tree for a while. You can come and see for yourself…
As he spoke, he pulled Ye Feng to the crooked tree.
Sure enough, on the tree trunk about 1.5 meters above the ground, there was also a character "武" (wu, meaning martial/martial).
Ye Feng's feelings were very complicated at this moment. He had originally planned to accept Zhan Pengfei.
At this moment, the sudden appearance of clues about Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu was not necessarily a good thing for him.
If these two people become greedy and suddenly attack me, the loss would be huge.
Fu Changxiong and the others behind him also understood this, and they all looked at him in unison, hesitant to speak.
It seems they want to ask what to do next.
Ye Feng pondered for a few seconds, then asked directly:
What are your plans next?
Zhan Pengfei did not hesitate at all.
"Of course I'm looking for my brother. He must be extremely worried about me."
Don't worry, Brother Feng. My brother and Brother Dawei are both very loyal and easy to talk to.
"You saved me; they will definitely step forward to help me if I encounter any difficulties in the future."
Ye Feng nodded with a half-smile. Since he had to face it sooner or later, he could only let nature take its course.
Moreover, judging from the direction the stroke points, it is clearly the same road as the direction I want to go.
"Alright, let's hurry up and go. Whether we can find it or not, we don't have much time left today. We must build a shelter immediately."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Pengfei immediately thought of a place.
“Brother Feng. Come with me. I know a place that’s perfect, and we don’t even need to build a platform.”
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked ahead.
Ye Feng frowned, feeling quite unwilling. If this guy already knew where his two older brothers lived, would he... be trying to lure him there?
"Brother Feng, what should we do? Should we go with him?"
Liu Sisi could also see the worry in his heart.
Ye Feng glanced at Zhan Pengfei, who was walking briskly, and then looked at the sky.
It's almost 5 p.m. now. In about 80 minutes, it will be completely dark, and the deadly creatures will come out.
Having experienced two crises brought about by the darkness, Ye Feng felt a deep sense of awe towards the night here.
At this rate, it's almost a certainty that we'll receive the weapons tomorrow.
He absolutely could not allow any mistakes to occur at this crucial moment.
"Keep up with it for now, and proceed as planned. But this time you'd better keep a close eye on things."
His two older brothers are not like Kodiaz's gang; they'll fight without hesitation if there's any danger.
"Um."
The group discussed as they walked, taking small, quick steps, and soon caught up.
Fortunately, the platform setup they used was very simple, and the Amazon is full of forests, so finding a suitable location wasn't too difficult.
About ten minutes later, led by Zhan Pengfei, the group arrived at the foot of a small hill.
The woods here are backlit by the setting sun, so even before nightfall, there's already a twilight-like atmosphere, which is somewhat eerie and sinister.
The hill is conical in shape, with a slope of about 30 to 40 degrees.
Below this slope, a ditch about 30 centimeters wide extends down from the mountain.
Judging from its shape, it doesn't look like it has been cultivated. There is a clear, weak stream of water inside, making a soft gurgling sound.
"This place is nice, with mountains and water. It just so happens that we're running low on water."
Fu Changxiong took out the kettle, glanced at Ye Feng, and wanted to ask for his opinion.
Ye Feng took a sip of water and nodded.
In the wild, this flowing water is called living water, especially that flowing down from the mountains, which is generally drinkable.
"Let's get to work quickly and find a suitable place to build first."
"Need not."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Pengfei waved to the crowd, signaling them to follow.
“The platform we built back then is right there.”
"oh?"
Ye Feng hadn't expected such a perk, and quickly followed.
After walking less than a hundred meters, the group arrived at a platform that was suspended about 1.4 to 1.5 meters above the ground.
It is rectangular, about four meters long and a little over two meters wide, and should be able to comfortably accommodate six people for rest.
The area above has been covered with a layer of fallen leaves because it has been uninhabited for a long time.
After the group cleared away the fallen leaves, they discovered that only half of the wood had been laid on top.
"This is where we rested when we were traveling, and it was almost dark at that time."
There are only three of us, so this is all the space we could set up.
Zhan Pengfei explained…
Ye Feng was actually quite content; the most difficult part of building this platform was connecting these four main trunks.
It's both laborious and time-consuming. Right now, all you need to do is chop some small logs and spread the rest across the area to bind them. It won't waste much time or energy.
"Do you remember where your two older brothers' camp is now?"
Zhan Pengfei tilted his head slightly, thought about it carefully, and didn't know whether to shake his head or nod.
"All I know is that this place is about a kilometer away from our camp."
I don't know the exact directions, but I've lived there for so long.
Seeing some familiar terrain and trees, plus the note my brother left behind, finding it was only a matter of time.
“Very good. You will see them tomorrow. I hope your two older brothers are really as you say.”
Ye Feng smiled faintly, patted his shoulder, and silently said the next sentence in his heart.
"If not, then I'm sorry."
