"Smack!"
When the lights are turned on, flying insects swarm everywhere, buzzing and chirping.
You can vaguely see some small, glowing eyes all around, staring intently at Ye Feng.
These creatures are mostly rodents, and Ye Feng has seen many of them; they come out to forage at night.
Because they had used this flashlight for a long time, it only had half a bar of power left, so the light was quite dim.
When Ye Feng scanned the burial sites of Lavezzi and Bennett, he frowned slightly and stopped.
The two men froze in fright, breaking out in a cold sweat, as their vision suddenly brightened.
Lavezzi gripped the crossbow bolt in his arms, his finger on the trigger.
"Prepare for battle."
Bennett gave a soft "hmm," his right hand gripping the bowstring tightly.
In Ye Feng's view, on the overgrown weeds, he only saw a snake coiling around a mouse.
Mao Mao and Da Wang also started barking at this moment...
Because the light wasn't strong, and they were several dozen meters apart, the grass provided cover, and Lavezzi's ghillie suit was indeed very well done.
Ye Feng's gaze lingered for only a moment before he moved the flashlight away.
"It's nothing, it's just a snake eating a mouse..."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and put down their bows and arrows.
"Don't let your guard down. Tonight, we'll be on night duty in pairs. If you hear any noise, be sure to check it out."
We're only halfway to the finish line now, those guys must be really anxious, we can't afford to take any chances at this point.
"good!"
After everyone agreed, they dispersed, turned their backs to the fire, looked around, and began to eat.
After finishing their meal, everyone chatted while doing some simple handicrafts.
After altering their clothes and sharpening their weapon arrowheads, everyone finally drifted off to sleep around 10 p.m.
During those few hours, Lavezzi and his partner suffered greatly.
Various kinds of insects flew around them, and every now and then a venomous snake crawled over their bodies.
I don't know if it's because of the passage of time or because there are too many mosquitoes, but the insect repellent spray is no longer as effective as before.
The two of them contributed at least 300cc of blood to the mosquitoes.
Even so, they dared not move an inch.
Lavezzi felt a sharp pain in his chest after lying on the ground for so long.
He thought that Ye Feng must be very arrogant after wiping out three teams yesterday.
Even if things go wrong, they'll let their guard down, so the chances of this sneak attack succeeding are definitely high.
But to his surprise, Ye Feng's level of caution far exceeded his expectations.
There was not a sound, not even a human voice, yet they still assigned two people to night duty.
"What a cunning yellow pig! No wonder it's lived so long!"
Lavezzi thought to himself, knowing that he definitely wouldn't have a chance tonight.
If I stay any longer, I'll probably get sucked dry by the mosquitoes.
Moreover, if they were to alert Ye Feng, the difficulty of hunting him would double.
Mercenaries have always believed in striking with deadly precision. With a prize of over 80 million right in front of them, they must not be impatient.
After thinking it over, he gave Bennett a look.
Under the cover of the chirping of insects, the two slowly retreated.
After finally managing to get to a safe distance, Jeros and the others immediately appeared in front of them.
"What's going on with you two? How did you get discovered?"
Lavezzi rubbed his aching chest and glanced at him sideways after a while.
"Do you think Ye Feng is really that easy to kill? That kid is very vigilant, and there are those two wretched monkeys too."
Of course, the main reason is this idiot!
As he spoke, he slapped Bennett on the head, making him dizzy and almost fall to the ground.
"What the hell! This isn't the first time we've seen a snake. What's with all the excitement?!"
"If I hadn't acted quickly, neither of us would be back tonight! You, with your stupidity, think you can win the grand prize? Eat shit!"
After saying that, he kicked him again in a fit of rage.
Bennett couldn't refute it and could only cover his head and apologize repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, Captain, I didn't expect a snake to suddenly dart out like that."
Jeros, standing to the side, let out a cold laugh…
"Why don't you give me the bow? Wouldn't it have been easier if I had gone to do it?"
Lavezzi's eyes darted away, but he didn't reply.
He naturally didn't want to give the bow and arrows to the other party. What if Jeros suddenly turned against him after killing Ye Feng? Wouldn't he be working for someone else?
They're all veteran mercenaries, they know each other inside and out. When it comes to profit, what brotherhood is there?
"Alright, alright."
Lor interrupted impatiently:
"What should we do now? More than 80 million is right in front of us."
Anyway, I can't stand it anymore. That kid is so cautious, if we keep dragging this out, he'll be found out sooner or later.
If you two don't have any good ideas, then I suggest you just take action.
Lavezzi did not refute this time, clearly agreeing with his words.
Currently, there are three other teams besides them, all of whom are stronger than them.
Although I don't know where it is, if we get intercepted, all the suffering we've endured in the jungle these past few days will have been for nothing.
Time is of the essence; delay may lead to unforeseen changes.
"Let's rest for the night and proceed as planned. We'll find an opportunity to make our move tomorrow."
After saying that, the group disappeared into the forest one by one.
They weren't as particular as Ye Feng; they simply hid in the woods more than 300 meters away from him.
At night, a few bonfires are lit, and two people are assigned to keep watch. That's enough to get by for one night.
Although not all of these pursuers were mercenaries, most of them had volunteered to participate.
Moreover, they were personally investigated and selected by Makuko.
While they may not be as skilled as mercenaries in hand-to-hand combat, everyone knows a thing or two about wilderness survival.
In addition, the equipment provided by the production team is the main reason why these people have been able to survive until now.
Under the cover of night, the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, plays out in almost every corner of the forest.
However, all of this came to an end with the cries of birds at dawn.
The night passed quickly…
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Ye Feng set up a frying pan to prepare to brew the medicine.
"Brother Feng, let me do it."
Zhan Pengfei took the pot, started pouring water, and prepared the medicinal herbs…
The two of them were responsible for the last shift before dawn.
Ye Feng stretched vigorously, his bones cracking and popping.
"Hiss~"
He couldn't help but grit his teeth and gasp.
The bruises on my body have faded a bit, but it still hurts a lot.
Looking back, this was the first time he had suffered such severe internal injuries in the two months since he arrived in the Amazon.
He has always been a very vengeful person, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
He stood up and looked at the sky; it was probably only around 6 a.m.
Since I have nothing to do right now, I might as well find something to do...
Ye Feng pulled a piece of firewood from the fire and jumped off the platform.
