Chapter 136
With such a group of people in the cave, it suddenly seemed cramped. Moreover, they were all wet from the rain, and the relatively dry ground became soaked.
"There's no room here anymore, let's go somewhere else." Valeri from the Russian team stood up with a fierce look on his face.
"Hmph, this is not your home." Fili glanced at Valeri with contempt, threw his backpack to the ground, took off his raincoat and threw it down, not taking Valeri's words seriously at all.
"That's right, your name is not engraved here." David from the Kangaroos agreed.
The others had exhausted themselves on the journey all day, and now they finally found a comfortable shelter from the rain. Not letting them in would be a tantamount to issuing a challenge. So when Valeri tried to use words to drive them away, a dozen or so glances immediately swept over him, their warning strong.
Valery was frightened and instinctively took two steps back, but suddenly he realized that his behavior was undoubtedly cowardly and his face turned red immediately.
"Ah, ha~~"
The yawn wasn't loud, but in this tense moment, the people inside the cave could hear it clearly. Everyone turned their attention to the source of the sound. Chu Huaiqin was holding a cat? No, a fox, a trembling fox. He was drowsy, gently stroking the fox's fur with one hand, supporting his chin with the other, and lazily said, "You're blocking my wind."
Chu Huaiqin and his men camped on the far left side. A group of people came in and stood on that road, blocking the wind from outside.
David sneered, "You..."
"Get out! Who told you to stand here?" Before David could finish his words, Liman, who was standing next to him, kicked David in the butt, causing him to stagger a few steps without preparation.
"You..." David looked at Liman in disbelief, his face flushed red. He wanted to fight back, but when he thought of Liman's fighting ability, he swallowed his words back, picked up the backpack on the ground and walked to the other side.
The others looked at each other, and then seeing Liman's violent expression, they cooperated and walked to the right.
Valery: “?”
A few dozen people standing in a hundred-square-meter space was fine, but once the tents were deployed, there was no way they could fit them all. The five members of the Mali team first swept through Chu Huaiqin and Maozi's teams, abandoned those two teams, and turned their attention to the Shuangying team, debating whether to chase them away. But after some thought, they gave up. The captain led the others into the rain again and set up camp in the 20-30 square meter cave next door.
It's 6 p.m., and the most important thing to them is food.
Leeman was the second to leave the cave, and Wills and Philly had to follow. The Kangaroos saw what was happening and followed suit.
For a moment, only a few people from the British Empire were left. Captain Chen turned his gaze to the leisurely Chu Huaiqin, and his eyes under the sunglasses were cold and cruel.
"Chen?" a member of the British Empire team shouted.
"Let's go!" Chen looked away and left with his men.
When Xia En, the little monk and the Maozi team came back, they saw a team from the United States that was going to hunt. The two groups passed each other, and the people of the Double Eagle team breathed a sigh of relief.
The prey was still chickens and ducks, all stewed. Xia En and the little monk, whose clothes hadn't dried yet from their lunchtime wash and were nearly soaked from their chicken-catching outing, had no choice but to wrap themselves in a blanket and sit in the tent watching Chu Huaiqin and the others busy themselves with cooking. Meanwhile, the Maozi team stripped off their shirts, though, thankfully, they were a bit considerate of the two girls present, so they left their pants on, simply rolling up the wet bottoms.
Today, Chu Huaiqin and his team's stewed chicken is still the most popular dish in the cave. The aroma makes the Maozi team and the Shuangying team want to come over and share the pot with Chu Huaiqin and his team.
After a cheerful dinner, the group settled in for a quick nap. Chu Huaiqin, having slept too much in the afternoon, couldn't fall asleep, so he sat outside in the cool breeze, catching some rainwater. A group from the United States didn't return until almost eight in the evening. They must have put a lot of effort into their hunt. Seeing Chu Huaiqin leisurely sitting outside, they gritted their teeth and wished they could just come up and give him a beating.
Feeling the murderous intent of these people, Chu Huaiqin gave them a bright smile.
Chu Huaiqin sat outside and didn't come back until eleven o'clock in the evening. Su Huaichen and Lin Zhinan, who had not slept yet, boiled all the water Chu Huaiqin had collected and filled the water bag and several kettles.
The three of them finally entered the tent. This time, the fennec fox still bared its teeth and whimpered at Xia En, but its voice was much calmer than that of the afternoon. Chu Huaiqin slowly stroked its fur until it quieted down.
Late at night, a group of people fell asleep in the heavy rain. Chu Huaiqin, who was originally holding a fennec fox with his back to Xia En, turned around and threw himself into Xia En's arms because the temperature was too low in the early morning. Xia En, who was half asleep and half awake, was so happy that he almost lost his mind.
I kind of hope the weather will be this cold later on.
In the middle of the night, the rain continued to fall, so heavy it threatened to drown the entire Gobi Desert. Unbeknownst to the crowd, the weathered outer layer of the bedrock was rapidly being stripped away by the rain, sending a flood of mud and sand pouring down.
“Oh my!”
In the middle of the night, the fennec fox suddenly got up and whimpered. Chu Huaiqin was not awakened yet. Xia En was the first to wake up. He reached over Chu Huaiqin with his long arm and pressed his big hand on the fennec fox's head, "Shut up!" "Whinging!"
The fennec fox continued to bark, and Xia Entang immediately clamped its mouth, instantly sealing the sound inside. Carefully climbing to his feet, Xia Entang carried the flailing fennec fox towards the director team. The night shift staff saw Xia Entang approaching and quickly stood up.
"Deal with it." Xia En threw the fennec fox to the staff and turned back to the tent.
The staff looked at the struggling fennec fox, not knowing how to react.
"Ah!" The staff member was bitten on the back of his hand and almost screamed in pain. He quickly called another person to take over. He had to get the serum, immediately.
This little episode was only seen in the live broadcast room, and I laughed out loud. It turns out that you can see interesting things even when you are on night watch.
The next day, everyone got up and it was raining heavily. Chu Huaiqin remembered that the director team said that the rain would continue from yesterday to today, but looking at the amount of rain, Chu Huaiqin doubted the possibility of it stopping.
"I'll go with the senior today, you stay behind with the little monk." Chu Huaiqin stretched and touched the clothes he had washed before. They were wet and soft to the touch. It was difficult to dry clothes by hanging them out to dry on rainy days, so they were finally wearable.
"Let me go with you!" Xia En was worried about Su Huaichen and wanted to follow him.
"No, you already got your whole outfit wet yesterday. You finally managed to wear this one today, and if it gets wet again, how can you let it get wet again?" Chu Huaiqin rejected Xia En's offer and took the bow/crossbow he had given Lin Zhinan. This thing was really useful for hunting; with it, they could run ten meters less when catching prey.
Xia En still wanted to struggle, but Chu Huaiqin patted his shoulder and said, "Guard the house."
After he finished speaking, he called Su Huaichen who was already waiting for him.
The others woke up around the same time as Chu Huaiqin and left the house at about the same time, so for a moment, everyone bumped into each other. But no one was in the mood to chat; it was too cold. The daytime temperature was only 13 degrees Celsius, and they couldn't get their coats wet. They only wore camouflage uniforms underneath and raincoats outside, and they were shivering with cold.
Walking towards the poplar forest on the sticky soil, the heavy rain hit my rain hat, and after a long time, it felt a little painful.
The Populus euphratica forest wasn't far away; even in the pouring rain, it only took about five minutes to get there. A group of people stood outside the woods, stunned by the sight of several large birds—no, several large chickens and turkeys—emerging from the woods.
Its hairless head was crowned with a fleshy crest, its fur black with a hint of blue. Its neck stretched out, and it stood at least five feet tall. Its sharp claws, visible from the outside, gave it a chilling look. This creature was documented to have terrifying strength, having once scratched an adult to the point of near-death. The people in the livestream were amused, bursting into laughter.
"Hahaha, turkey, oh my god, it's a turkey, are the production team crazy?"
"Pfft, are you guys planning on bringing out a pig next time?"
"Oh, it's over, you're all done. Turkeys are nicknamed fighting chickens, and they're even more powerful than geese. Hahaha, you're all done."
"Oh my god, these turkeys are half the height of a man! Are you sure they are people hunting turkeys and not turkey hunters?"
The live broadcast room was full of joy, but many people at the scene were eager to try and walked over with knives drawn.
"Huaiqin, what should we do?" Su Huaichen looked at the turkey's pointed beak and felt a little pain.
"Let's wait and see." Chu Huaiqin was currently using a conservative tactic, letting these people test the waters first. "Let's go further away."
Chu Huaiqin led Su Huaichen toward a small mound outside the poplar forest. Before they could climb it, screams erupted from behind. Su Huaichen turned around, unable to contain his anger. He saw a massive turkey madly chasing David from the Kangaroos at an alarming speed, its cackling cackling like a death wand.
"Help, help!" David ran and looked back, his screams breaking the sky.
Perhaps this turkey had infected the others, but the one that had been trotting away from them suddenly let out a long, cackle, turned around, and charged at the people following it. The people who had been adopting a conservative strategy were stunned, but they quickly reacted, drew their knives, and rushed over...
"ah!"
A scream shook the sky. Su Huaichen, who was standing on a small mound, was stunned when he saw the tall and strong contestant from the Kingdom of the Sun Never Sets, whose arm was pecked until blood flowed out.
It really is worthy of being called a fighting chicken.
"Huai, Huaiqin," Su Huaichen swallowed his saliva and asked nervously, "What should I do?"
"There's a big fight down there. We'll just be chased if we go down. Let's find someone to cooperate with!" Chu Huaiqin watched the weaker people below being chased and running away, while the stronger people were tearing the turkeys until they were bleeding. He didn't want to get involved.
"How to cooperate?" Su Huaichen asked.
"Find someone to lure the turkey up?" Chu Huaiqin smiled with a hint of roguery.
The people in the live broadcast room were instantly chilled by his laughter. Qin Ge's aura was indeed terrifying. At the same time, they sighed that it was another day for Qin Ge to watch the fun.
"Shane!" Chu Huaiqin called to one of the Double Eagles, "Lure it over here, and we'll each take half!"
The turkey was so big that one team definitely couldn't finish it.
Shane, who was playing hide-and-seek with the turkey, heard Chu Huaiqin's cry, turned around a large poplar tree, and rushed over, shouting, "Hurry, hurry, I'm out of strength."
Chu Huaiqin took out his bow/crossbow and made a shooting gesture. The Maozi team, who were also being chased by turkeys, heard Chu Huaiqin's words. After thinking about it, they turned around and two of them, carrying two turkeys, chased Shane and rushed towards Chu Huaiqin, shouting, "Chu, Chu, kill it, and I'll give you half."
Chu Huaiqin: Thank you, I can’t eat so much.
Live broadcast room: Do you want one turkey? Two turkeys? Or all three turkeys?
