After leaving the marijuana hiding place, Feng Bujue immediately walked for a while in the direction Bu Bo left.
He didn't want to follow the other party, he just wanted to detect Bu Bo's whereabouts before continuing to explore.
Not long after, he discovered a few trodden tufts of weeds, a few broken branches, and a few less obvious footprints.
"It's not easy..." Feng Bujue looked at the traces and thought, "I can actually think of counter-tracking..."
Obviously, Bu Bo deliberately created these "traces" to confuse a possible tracker.
"And the degree of completion of these disguises is quite high... If I hadn't observed carefully, even I might have been deceived by him..." Brother Jue thought, "Well... all the NPCs in this script are similar to him.
Smart, I'm afraid I'm going to die..."
Just as he was thinking, suddenly...
"Don't be fooled by the illusion in front of you." A man's voice sounded from not far behind Brother Jue, "He did not move in the direction indicated by the footprints..."
"Who's there?" Feng Bujue heard the voice, and his expression immediately tightened. He turned around following the sound and tightened his grip on the shovel in his hand.
At this moment, Brother Jue has lost his superhuman five senses, so he cannot sense those who are approaching him quietly. This change makes him, who has always been cautious, always feel a little uneasy... And this uneasiness makes him
Become very aggressive.
"Calm down, Stephen, it's me." The speaker immediately appeared in Brother Jue's sight. He was none other than Contestant No. 6 - Barack Hussein Ao Guanhai.
"I'm very calm." Feng Bujue actually communicated with the other party in a very calm tone. "I raised the shovel as if I was going to chop you. It doesn't mean that I have lost my calmness."
"Haha..." Ao Guanhai smiled. He did not approach rashly. Instead, he kept a distance of three meters and continued with a smile, "Is this your normal state of greeting people?"
"Hmph..." Feng Bujue snorted coldly, "When facing those 'guys with ulterior motives who sneak up on me from behind', this is how I usually greet them."
As soon as these words came out, Ao Guanhai's eyes changed instantly, but he quickly covered up the change in his expression with a raised eyebrow expression, and smiled: "Haha... I'm sorry. Stephen, I didn't even realize that I
I'm 'quietly' approaching you." As he spoke, he raised his hands to make a quotation mark gesture, "At least from my point of view, I came over normally and reminded you kindly..."
"I don't know when you started to keep an eye on me..." Feng Bujue interrupted, "But your 'reminder' shows that... when I was communicating with Bu Bo, you were already observing in secret.
Already."
Silence falls...
At this moment, the atmosphere between the two of them was very subtle. It seemed to be tense, but it also hinted at a turning point.
"Humph..." More than ten seconds later, Ao Guanhai smiled slightly again, "Stephen, I saw the right person."
Feng Bujue stared at the other party and did not answer. He knew that the former president had not finished speaking.
"There is no doubt about your talent." Ao Guanhai continued, "Cooperate with me, Stephen, you won't regret it."
"Cooperation?" Brother Jue looked directly into the other person's eyes and repeated the keyword.
"Yes. Cooperation." Ao Guanhai replied, "That's what you said. I should be able to understand..." He paused, "In this game, even if you just use each other... multi-person cooperation is far better than acting alone.
It’s much more advantageous.”
"Ha... After all, they are just playing politics. This habit of loving forming gangs has probably gone deep into their bones..." Feng Bujue said in his heart, "But... such people do have their own merits. Politicians
Skilled in scheming, diplomacy, and performance...his city is even better than that of Bubo."
"You mean...are you going to temporarily establish a relationship of mutual use with me?" Feng Bujue continued.
This kind of knowingly asking questions allows the other party to say a few more words and at the same time buys you more time to think.
"Haha... I've said it before, Stephen, I prefer to use the word 'cooperation'." Ao Guanhai's answer was in the usual smooth style of a politician, "Just imagine, if you and I join forces, what will happen to others?"
Is there any chance of winning? In my opinion... as long as fifty... no, forty-five hours! In just two days, we can eliminate all the other eight people."
"Elimination?" Feng Bujue was suspicious after hearing this, "What does it mean? What exactly does he mean by 'elimination'... Does it mean attacking other players and making them incapacitated? Or... something?
Any other way?"
Since the opening script introduction did not explain the complete rules of "Venom in the Wilderness", Feng Bujue was in a quite disadvantageous situation from the beginning. What made him depressed was that he couldn't just ask anyone about this...
Because the NPCs in this script are all very intelligent, if Feng Bujue reveals that he "doesn't know the complete rules", God knows what kind of plot he will suffer.
"That's true... but do you have any specific plans?" After a few seconds of mental struggle, Brother Jue thought of a tentative question that would not expose himself and allow him to continue asking.
"Of course." Ao Guanhai replied, "But I can't tell you right now."
"Why?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"Hahaha... Okay, Stephen." Ao Guanhai said with a smile, "Stop joking with a serious face." He raised his right hand and stretched out two fingers, "First of all, you won't talk to someone again.
To be with a fool who reveals his strategy without any guarantee; secondly, facing such a fool, the best way is to pretend to cooperate with him and then find an opportunity to kill him..."
He is right. In this case, those who are unwilling to reveal their plans are the smart ones worthy of cooperation...
"Humph..." Feng Bujue also smiled, and then laughed, "Haha... hahaha..." He smiled like a mental patient, making it difficult for the other party to understand his thoughts.
After laughing for a few seconds, Brother Jue suddenly stopped, suddenly put on a serious expression and said: "It seems that you and I still have something in common."
This sentence is undoubtedly Feng Bujue's trick... He seemed to be saying: "My reaction just now was all to test you, just like your first sentence was also to test me."
"Well..." Ao Guanhai also looked solemn and loosened his collar (he had taken off his suit and tie and was wearing a shirt at this time), "So... you agree?"
"Fifty hours." Before the party who proposed cooperation could decide the rules, Brother Jue turned his back and said first, "Within fifty hours from now, I will stand on the same front as you..." He licked
Licking his lips, "As for fifty hours later... no matter whether we have successfully eliminated the other eight people as you said or not - our cooperative relationship will be terminated at that time."
"No problem." Ao Guanhai nodded, "It's just what I want."
"Haha... very good, 'partner'." When Feng Bujue said the last two words, he used a slightly ironic tone, "I hope your execution ability is enough to keep up with your plan."
Hearing this, Ao Guanhai grinned, showing two rows of big white teeth: "Yes, We_can!"
