Chapter 146: There is something in the words but nothing
The taste of coconut crab is very delicious, especially the crab meat in its eight claws, which tastes like lobster tail, with more coconut flavor in it.
After the four people finished carving up the crab, everyone felt very satisfied!
After eating the crab meat, everyone was almost rested.
At this time, the sun had just passed halfway through the sky, and Shen Gu estimated that the time was around 1 o'clock local time.
The next task for everyone is to go to the "Suitable Camping Site No. 1" found by Su Ziqing's group in the morning and set up a camp for a peaceful sleep at night.
On the way to the "target location", Shen Gu took the picnic pot, and each of the other girls took two cans of canned beef.
Su Ziqing's diary and pen had been left at the "target location" before.
In this way, apart from the four suitcases containing clothes for four people, only two cans of beef and two small cartons containing cans were left on the beach.
The reason why they didn't put all the cans into their respective suitcases and take them away together was because they wanted to reach the "destination location" faster.
After the camp is successfully built there, we will come back in batches to pick up larger and heavier suitcases.
Along the way, Teacher Zhou Yang, who was at the front to guide everyone, once again emphasized the danger of wild boars to everyone.
Although the location of the "target location" is still a long way from where Su Ziqing and Zhou Yang encountered the wild boar.
It stands to reason that there is already a water source for the wild boar to drink near "Suitable Camping Site No. 2". Normally speaking, it should not go near "Suitable Camping Site No. 1".
However, Su Ziqing still explained to everyone how to deal with it calmly in case of encountering a wild boar.
The purpose is just in case!
When Su Ziqing was speaking, everyone else, including Teacher Zhou Yang, also listened very carefully.
After she finished speaking, Wu Jiayi, who was walking in the third position among the four, also turned slightly and joked to Shen Gu behind her:
"With your skills, you can usually deal with a few empty-handed ordinary people without any problem."
"I wonder if you can deal with a wild boar by yourself after encountering it?"
"If you can deal with it, we don't have to be afraid to avoid it to avoid attracting its attention!"
When Shen Gu heard this, he immediately became happy!
When thinking about the "A-level self-defense fighting skills" he now possesses, Shen Gu replied to Wu Jiayi with the same humor:
"I don't dare to guarantee this!"
"After all, I have never competed directly with a wild boar before."
"And wild boars don't feel scared like people do after being injured."
"On the contrary, if I punch it so hard that it feels pain through its skin, I'm afraid it will behave more fiercely and manically towards me!"
"It won't be a big deal for me to escape by myself then, but it won't be good if I also implicate you who are hiding nearby to watch the battle!"
Similar to Wu Jiayi's reaction after hearing this, Teacher Zhou Yang and Su Ziqing who were walking in front were also amused by Shen Gu's humorous tone!
Then Shen Gu was the last one to move forward and continued to express his thoughts:
"Maybe after we build the camp at Site 1, we can try to set traps near Site 2."
"If we can catch this wild boar with a trap, its meat alone should be enough for us to eat for seven days!"
At this time, Su Ziqing, who was walking in the second position among the four, smiled and responded to him:
"I have thought about this after Sister Zhou and I escaped from danger together!"
"However, given the defensive power of the wild boar's hard skin, a trap made of a stick made slightly sharper with a stone should not be able to kill it with one hit."
"And if the trap cannot kill it in one go, it will either try to find us nearby to retaliate, or it will simply run away!"
"Even if it knows it is afraid, it will never come back."
"Although we have eliminated this potential danger, we have also missed many "wild boar dinners"!
At this time, Wu Jiayi, who was walking behind Su Ziqing, suddenly seemed to regret and said these words:
"I kind of regret choosing canned beef!"
"If I had known that there would be wild boars on this island, I would have chosen a multifunctional saber!"
"Even if you can't directly fight the wild boar with that short knife, you can at least sharpen the points of the wooden sticks used to make traps."
"Maybe that way we can kill the wild boar, and then we don't need any canned beef at all!"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Gu, who had always been paying close attention to the relationship between her and Su Ziqing, immediately realized that there was an "overtone" in Wu Jiayi's words.
He felt that Wu Jiayi's words were superficially saying that she regretted it.
In fact, when asked to "choose one survival item for one person", Su Ziqing only chose a diary and a pen.
However, the two people walking in front of the team seemed not to understand.
Neither Su Ziqing nor Zhou Yang spoke up to answer the question.
And Shen Gu would not be stupid enough to answer the call himself so that the meaning of Wu Jiayi's words could be more clearly revealed!
As for Wu Jiayi who took the initiative to say this, normally speaking, she was asking for trouble by saying this.
But for her personally, fortunately, she used a "self-blaming" tone.
So I didn't seem particularly embarrassed, I just stopped talking and focused more on the road ahead and at my feet, so as to prevent me from accidentally falling down due to some difficult roads.
Of course, on the way to "Suitable Camping Site No. 1", she also thought of using "surprise to win".
Specifically, she thought of possible methods, such as the "bitter flesh trick" of deliberately falling down to attract Shen Gu's attention.
But she quickly thought that doing so would probably gain Shen Gu's attention.
But after all, the entire team has not yet succeeded in finding a small camp on the coral island.
If she fakes a fall, even though she will try to "control" the "real injuries" caused by the fall, at least she won't be able to contribute to the team's simple camp today!
In a worse case scenario, one of the other three people may have to take care of her.
That will undoubtedly greatly slow down the progress of the establishment of the "simple camp", and may even cause the team to rely on the "camp" to rest tonight and be unable to achieve the most basic completion standards before dark!
Therefore, Wu Jiayi finally "shelved" this "bitter meat plan" on the road.
"Anyway, as long as I work hard and get Shen Gu to take the initiative to care about me, there will be many opportunities in the future!"
Wu Jiayi, who thought this way, laughed softly as she followed Su Ziqing.
Because the team was still marching, neither Su Ziqing, who was walking in front of her, nor Shen Gu, who was following her, saw the "confident and proud" look in her smile.
Even the drone that had been following the four people was limited by the terrain in the tropical jungle. None of the drones flying in the forest had the height and position to take close-up shots of Wu Jiayi at that time.
But even so, Shen Gu heard the slight laughter behind Wu Jiayi.
I also felt more uneasy than when I ate coconut crab.
