Liu Sisi was the first to sit up from the ground. The place where they slept was covered only with a not-so-clean blanket, which was considered the highest standard of bed among the Baijia tribe.
"Brother Feng, these Baijia tribesmen are so pitiful. Have you thought of a way to deal with them?"
We can't cause them trouble, can we?
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, sat up, and leaned against the wall with one knee bent...
"Do you think they won't have trouble if we don't come? You've seen it yourself, these people are having trouble even with basic living."
Facing those semi-modernized, warlike nations, they had absolutely no chance of winning.
"You already have a plan in mind, don't you?" Qi Xiaoyan sat up at that moment.
Ye Feng didn't deny it, he just hummed in agreement...
"Don't worry, after tonight, there will only be 17 days left until the end of the game."
They're more anxious than we are right now. And the trick I'm going to use this time, if executed well...
We...including every single one of the Baija tribe members, will not be at any risk.
"Really!?" A deep voice suddenly came from beside him, and Fu Changxiong sat up with a grin...
With the end of the project nearing its end, he has been having recurring dreams these past two days of his daughter being alone in the hospital.
My longing for you is becoming increasingly overwhelming, and I can't sleep at all.
"Hey bro, tell us how to do it!"
"Don't worry." Ye Feng patted his shoulder, knowing that Fu Changxiong was worried about his daughter, but he himself missed his grandmother just as much.
"This matter is actually quite simple, it can be summed up in three words... a counter-espionage plot."
The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion.
After a while, Liu Sisi vaguely understood what it meant... The so-called counter-espionage scheme was actually about creating internal conflict within the enemy, causing them to disintegrate on their own. Simply put... it was about instigating internal strife.
“Brother Feng, Bai Ying seems to be with those people. We don’t speak the same language and we’re not familiar with them.”
They are mortal enemies of these Baija people; how can they cooperate or trust each other?
"Hmph..." Ye Feng revealed a disdainful smile. He never thought of cooperating with these natives who made a living by trafficking people.
Especially those who want to kill him...
"I've never understood why those Shuar bounty hunters would get involved with Bai Ying."
Now I think the reason can only be two words...profit.
If we pay that guy named Dato more money, do you think he might switch sides?
After all, we have a better chance of winning now. If we just let him kill Bai Ying and Zhang Tiannan, our game will be over soon, right?
Liu Sisi rolled her eyes, sensing something was off about the plan, and raised her questions...
"But have you considered what if he and Bai Ying are friends? Just like we are with Salla."
What if he refuses to cooperate and even stabs us in the back? Don't forget, we killed many of his men yesterday.
And how can we possibly see him?
Ye Feng stroked his chin and began to recall the battle from yesterday.
He clearly remembered that after throwing stones and running away on that earthen slope, only Bai Ying and Zhang Tiannan chased after him.
This small incident shows that those indigenous people were not under Bai Ying's command at all.
Otherwise, how could there be a logic of the boss going first and the underlings stepping back?
Thinking about this, Ye Feng became even more certain... "Bai Ying and that Dato could not possibly be friends."
"Why?" Fu Changxiong asked casually.
"If they were truly friends, given Cheng Haojun's cautious nature, why didn't he call on Dato to ambush us that day?"
Wouldn't that mean none of us could escape? Besides, mercenaries are like rats in the sewers in any country.
They are not protected by international law and can be executed on sight if caught; they are dangerous killers walking on a knife's edge.
Especially for high-level mercenaries like Cheng Haojun, who have killed countless people and are surrounded by enemies, no one would want to get involved with such a person.
Moreover, they know about our relationship with Salla, and Dato is a mortal enemy of the Baija tribe.
So I guess... the only thing that can bind them together is mutual benefit.
And also... I don't know if you guys noticed, but Dato was wearing Cheng Haojun's military boots."
Ye Feng had noticed this during the previous battles; most of the other Shuar people were wearing dirty sneakers, athletic shoes, or even straw sandals.
Moreover, many of them were damaged, and it was unknown how long they had been worn. Only Dato's jungle boots were intact, exactly the same as Cheng Haojun's.
So it's quite noticeable if you pay a little attention.
After Ye Feng finished speaking, the three of them nodded slightly. They didn't pay much attention to what shoes the other person was wearing, but felt that Ye Feng's analysis made sense.
That's really simple... the enemy of my enemy is my friend. When it comes to interests, everything is negotiable.
"Hey...brother, just tell us what you want us to do."
Fu Changxiong was straightforward. He didn't use his brain and couldn't figure out how to do things. In short, he just followed instructions.
Ye Feng stood up and slowly walked to the door. Looking at the tribespeople who were still busy in the distance, he fixed his gaze on Salra and Lia.
The steps to implement the plan were gradually beginning to take shape in his mind...
"This time...you can't help; only they are the key..."
After saying that, he went back to his sleeping spot on the floor, lay down, put his hands behind his head, frowned as he looked at the simple ceiling, his mind filled with thoughts.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the others stopped disturbing him and went to sleep.
That night, Ye Feng thought for a long time. He knew... Bai Ying and Dato's group were definitely outside.
It would be truly embarrassing for a mercenary to be unable to find their way even with an accurate map.
The reason they haven't taken action yet is definitely because they've realized there's a numerical disadvantage. A fight would certainly result in mutual destruction.
No one would want to accept this outcome.
But Ye Feng was also afraid. Having gone through so much hardship to get here, he was afraid that he, his companions, and those poor Baijia tribesmen would be harmed in this final step.
Ye Feng has always adhered to one principle: if he can win without bloodshed, he will never charge into battle; the best outcome is to win without taking any damage by using his brain.
He didn't know when he fell asleep that night; he only realized he had been shaken awake when he regained consciousness.
He felt very tired, and only slightly closed his eyes...
Then I saw a little girl with camouflage paint on her face, wearing a simple green ghillie suit wrapped in vines, and chewing on dried meat, calling out to me in a childish voice.
"My lord, my lord, wake up! The sun's already high in the sky!"
Ye Feng finally opened his eyes fully, slowly got up and stretched, his tone still clearly showing signs of morning grumpiness...
"Nalime, is there any news from your tribe?"
Nali Mei couldn't understand English at all. She just chuckled, stuffed the jerky in her hand into her mouth, and immediately turned and left.
Sallar was quickly brought in.
Having a language barrier is indeed a hassle, as translation is needed at all times for communication.
After whispering with Salla for a while, Salla said:
“My lord, Narime says she found the Wendigos last night, and among them were the two people with the same skin color as you.”
They even evaded the outer sentries and reached the edge of the camp, where they stayed for a very long time, having come in from that direction.
As she spoke, Salla pointed eastward...
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng instantly woke up from his drowsiness. Clearly... who else could have the same skin color as him besides Bai Ying and Zhang Tiannan?
He already knew the other party had arrived, but he didn't expect them to come at night.
"Hmph... As expected, she still doesn't dare to make a move." Thinking this, Ye Feng took out another handful of dried meat from his bag and stuffed it into Nali Mei's dirty little hand.
Ye Feng affectionately patted Nali Mei's head and said, "Well done. Keep monitoring them... It would be best to find their current location. Remember, if anything happens, tell me. Don't expose yourself. Safety is the most important thing."
"Thank you, sir!" Narimie smiled innocently, holding the jerky, and skipped away. Children's happiness... is always so simple.
Ye Feng was in such a hurry to build sentry posts for the tribe not only for security reasons, but more importantly, to mislead Bai Ying and the others.
Yesterday, he had already begun to lay the groundwork for those two persistent mercenaries.
To be precise, it was when he heard Buta say that... Narika and Narime had excellent night vision.
These twin sisters possess night vision capabilities comparable to those of some animals.
They can see more than 20 meters at night, and they have been on guard duty since they were 7 years old.
They have an exceptional talent for avoiding danger in the wild and for disguising themselves.
