7 days ago, at 3 a.m.
This was the second day since Cairnster and his group arrived. Last night, they had been harassed by the enemy, and there was also a traitor hidden within their ranks.
Under pressure from both internal and external troubles, Ye Feng spent a sleepless night.
However, after clarifying his thoughts, he concluded that Cairnster would definitely not take action against him for the time being.
The other party clearly wants to use this tactic to disrupt my daily routine.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to expose their identities beforehand; they could have simply set a fire and run away.
In comparison, this traitor is far more terrifying.
We all eat and sleep together, so what if this traitor suddenly attacks us or the others?
Their success rate is much higher than that of the group in Cairns.
How can I allow someone else to snore beside my bed?
After much deliberation, Ye Feng decided to first find out who the traitor was.
He racked his brains all night, sifting through every memory and piece of information about his companions in his mind.
At first, he was not sure who Fitz Lumind was.
After a thorough analysis, apart from Tang Weiwei and the other two who joined later, everyone else was highly suspicious, just to varying degrees.
However, after going through various hardships and spending many days together, he became very certain that everyone's feelings for him were not an act.
So he pondered for a long time, even searching for every detail of each person from the very first day of the game.
Finally, just before dawn, Ye Feng accidentally discovered something among the spoils of war.
And it was because of this one thing that he finally confirmed the identity of the traitor.
At 11 a.m., a group of people sat around inside the house, ready to enjoy their lunch.
They were only attacked once last night, so everyone's spirits are still pretty high.
But when they saw the food, the two brothers, Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu, unusually did not touch it first.
Their gazes were cold and hostile as they swept over the other four people.
When he went out to urinate in the morning, he secretly informed the three of his analysis results.
He demanded they help him find the traitor...
Seeing the unfriendly looks in their eyes, and Ye Feng's furrowed brows, Fu Changxiong couldn't help but ask:
"Hey guys, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why aren't you eating?"
Ye Feng took a deep breath, glanced at Fu Changxiong and his three companions, and got straight to the point…
"Everyone, we have a traitor in our team. This person is Fitz Lumind, who is ranked eighth on the leaderboard."
He never revealed his identity to me, which suggests that he likely had other motives.
As for the purpose, I think you can probably guess.
I'm now certain... that Fitz Lumind is hiding among you all...
"ah!?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished and looked at each other in bewilderment.
The two brothers, Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu, couldn't help but touch the hilt of their swords at their waists.
The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became extremely tense.
In fact, Ye Feng had mentioned the name Fitz Luminde to them before.
But at that time, everyone thought that since Chou Chou didn't say when announcing the rules, that person might already be dead.
No one took it to heart...
After a few seconds of silence, Fu Changxiong frowned and cautiously turned his head to look at Liu Sisi and the other three. He remained silent…
Ye Feng continued in a cold voice:
"No need for anyone else to be nervous, I already know who this person is."
As he said this, his cold gaze began to sweep from Fu Changxiong to the side.
Finally, it stopped on Qi Xiaojie…
"Little stutterer, I've been good to you, haven't I? Why did you hide your identity from me?"
Qi Xiaojie met Ye Feng's murderous gaze and felt goosebumps rise all over his body.
He was extremely flustered, waving his hands repeatedly...
"I...I...no, Feng...Brother Feng, I...I can..."
He already had a stutter, and now his speech became even more slurred, as if he were constipated, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Qi Xiaoyan also snapped out of her shock. She and Qi Xiaojie had grown up in an orphanage since they were little.
How could her own brother possibly be an American citizen of Chinese descent?
She quickly picked up the conversation...
"Brother Feng, you've got it wrong. My brother doesn't speak English at all, and his grades are terrible. How could this be... uh!"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a heavy blow to the back of her neck…
Zhan Pengwu's chop was extremely swift, knocking her unconscious.
Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengfei immediately pulled out their knives and held them to Qi Xiaojie's neck from both sides.
Ye Feng, holding the Nepalese coin, slowly approached Qi Xiaojie.
"You said that when you were being chased by that person, a wild boar killed him. Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?"
"You're just a kid, and you managed to survive alone for three days in the perilous Amazon rainforest without a single injury? Do you think I'm stupid?!"
Ye Feng emphasized his words, raised the knife in his hand high above Qi Xiaojie's head, and made as if to strike down.
"Speak! Why exactly did you hide your identity?!"
At this moment, Qi Xiaojie was trembling all over, and behind the cracked lens of his left eyeglass, his eyes were filled with helplessness and confusion.
He is not a Chinese American at all, and he doesn't speak English.
He couldn't understand why Ye Feng, whom he had always regarded as his elder brother, would suddenly want to kill him.
Isn't he usually very calm and intelligent?
"I really...I really...I didn't mean it, Brother Feng...you believe me..."
"Enough said! Die!"
Ye Feng had no intention of giving him a chance to explain, and slashed down with his sword...
"stop!"
A clear and urgent female voice suddenly called out to him.
Ye Feng immediately stopped what he was doing. Without turning around, he knew it was Liu Sisi's voice.
He turned around, and Liu Sisi stood behind him with an apologetic look on her face, frantically picking at her nails, her head lowered, and her tone becoming cautious.
It's like a child who has made a mistake, waiting for punishment from their parents.
"Actually... I am the one who is Fitz Lumind, you have wronged the little stutterer."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng, Tang Weiwei, and the other two immediately changed their murderous expressions back to smiles.
Ye Feng smiled from the bottom of his heart and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He was so afraid that Liu Sisi wouldn't say those two words.
In fact, he had known all along that Liu Sisi was a Chinese American.
The sudden targeting of Qi Xiaojie is merely a test for Liu Sisi.
If she truly harbors ill intentions towards Ye Feng and his companions, and plans to ultimately harm them...
So when she saw Ye Feng treating Qi Xiaojie as herself, she must have been very happy.
After all, Ye Feng had identified the mole he believed to be insider, and Qi Xiaojie had taken the blame for him.
I can now more confidently lie in wait by his side, waiting for the right moment to strike and find an opportunity.
Now, Liu Sisi has openly admitted it, which shows that he is very loyal to Ye Feng and has feelings for everyone.
The reason they've remained hidden is probably because they have some unspeakable secrets...
