By the end of the first day, Ran Xiangtian had basically succeeded in seizing power and became the leader of this small group.

Of course, this was also expected by him, and he didn't think that a guy like Jamal could hold him down for too long.

Not to mention that Ran Xiangtian still concealed that he was a capable person, just his well-known title of "Wilderness Survival Expert" and various survival skills were enough for him to gain absolute voice in this specific environment.

On the other hand, Jamal, although he relied on his loud voice and big man to play the role of the dominant player when everyone just woke up, temporarily calmed the scene, but in less than half a day, everyone found out that he, a "martial artist", can bring even less contribution to the group than Chef Mel; Not to mention, there is still an open ability Yan Wuxian, so Jamal is not irreplaceable in terms of force...... There is no reason for the crowd to continue to tolerate a powerful character like Jamal who is neither likable nor useful.

As a result, it is logical for Ran Xiangtian, another who is interested in the "leading" position, to take over the leadership at this time.

Ran Xiangtian is obviously more urban than Jamal, although he is not very clever, but in terms of the trick of hypocrisy and winning people's hearts, he plays a lot better than Jamal.

Even if he has been making his own little calculations in his heart, on the surface, even if he is just posturing, Ran Xiangtian will try his best to maintain the appearance of acting for the collective good.

And objectively speaking, he has indeed done a lot for everyone......

For example, after dinner, Ran Xiangtian personally went to the surroundings of the camp to arrange some simple "alarm devices", which are varied, and can be done with only local materials, some plants and heavy objects, and a small amount of string; If a beast or something approaches at night, these devices will trigger and emit some noticeable movements.

He also taught people how to make makeshift beds out of leaves, weeds, and vines, and explained the risks of sleeping on the ground.

Finally, he also proposed that people should take turns to keep vigil when everyone sleeps at night, and volunteered to stand on the first shift.

In fact, the matter of standing guard at night, Yan Wuxian can do it alone.

If necessary, as long as Yan Wuxian can ensure three sleep cycles (one and a half hours counts) every seventy-two hours, he can make himself energetic for the rest of the time.

However, Yan Wuxian did not take the initiative to mention this matter to others, because he did not plan to deliberately please this group of people, let alone further expose his ability in order to please them, so he accepted Ran Xiangtian's arrangement silently - Ran Xiangtian, Yan Wuxian, Daniel and Quint took turns to guard the first night.

As for the rest, they don't have to keep vigil, and they can sleep until dawn at will.

From a certain point of view, Ran Xiangtian had already divided the classes of these eight people at this time...... He himself is the "leader" at the top, followed by "people who can be used" like Yan Wuxian, Daniel, and Quint, followed by two women, Kunny and Mel, who are "irreplaceable, and unreplaceable objects that he may use, and who need to be pleased", and at the bottom are "waste" like He Huai and "opposition that best can be eliminated quickly" like Jamal.

…………

Time passed slowly, and after dinner, everyone was basically preparing their "beds" and did not rest much.

The nights in the jungle are long.

People who live in the metropolis may think that six or seven o'clock is still very early, eight or nine o'clock is still in good spirits, and after eleven o'clock is the real night; But in the jungle, assuming that it was already dark after six o'clock, the next eleven hours or so would be "night" until sunrise.

Fortunately, the perennial urban life has changed the biological clock of the human race, at least in modern society, the vast majority of adults have long been accustomed to the mode of sleeping after 11 o'clock at night.

Therefore, although it was tiring for a day, it was almost midnight before everyone fell asleep near the fire, and the work of the "vigil" began in earnest.

According to Ran Xiangtian's assumption, the four night vigilers each kept watch for an hour and a half, and it was almost dawn; However, how to calculate the time is a problem, after all, none of the eight people have watches or anything like that.

So, before going to bed, Ran Xiangtian told the other three brothers who were keeping vigil a way to use the position of the moon to judge the time......

In the middle of the night, there was no word, and before I knew it, it was early in the morning.

In the past hour and a half, Ran Xiangtian said that he was keeping vigil, but in fact, he was doing more calculations; He looked at the stars, at the moon, and at the dates...... He even made a funnel out of a large leaf and observed whether the whirlpools created as the water flowed down were clockwise or counterclockwise to infer the geographical location.

But he only received a series of contradictory responses that did not match his knowledge of astronomy and geography.

This puzzled him, but he wasn't the kind of person who would think of "I was kidnapped somewhere other than Earth", so in the end, he could only prevaricate himself with the meaningless conclusion that "the magnetic field and starry sky in this place are unusual".

In this way, with a bunch of questions and a feeling of loss, Ran Xiangtian woke up Yan Wuxian and went to sleep by himself.

And Yan Wuxian did fall asleep for a while just now, because he judged that "at least tonight" he should not be in any danger.

After being woken up, Yan Wuxian said a few casual words to Ran Xiangtian, and began to "take over and stand guard".

Don't look at this jungle is humid and muggy during the day, but it is a bit cold at night, and of course, it is not so cold that you must cover something or you will freeze and wake up.

One thing is more strange: no matter day or night, no one even encountered mosquitoes, which is definitely not normal, but it is also a good thing.

Yan Wuxian sat silently by the fire for more than ten minutes, adding a stick or two of firewood to the fire from time to time to keep the flame intact.

He looked absent-minded, and didn't know what he was thinking; Unlike when he robbed Kitchener, Yan is now uninjured, his eyes are full of vicissitudes, and his body also reveals a kind of calmness and freedom that most people of his age will not have.

"Hey, can I sit here?" A moment later, Kunny's voice rang out from his side.

Yan Wushu didn't even raise his eyelids, but continued to stir the fire, and responded in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Then, Kunny sat down next to Yan Wuxian.

Yan Wuxian knew very well when the other party got up and when he approached him, and he also guessed what Kunny was going to do, but he didn't want to say anything more, and he didn't want to expose anyone, so he just let it be.

"I can't sleep a little, can you talk to me for a while?" Kunny sat down, was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke.

"I prefer to listen rather than speak." Yan Wuxian thought of an answer that would allow him to spend less time in the rest of the conversation.

"Poof...... Kunny sneered, "It's the best chat starter I've ever heard, not one of them." She shrugged, "You know, when I talk to people, the first thing I hear is usually compliment me on my beauty or figure. ”

"Yes, tell me who you usually talk to a lot......" Yan replied weakly.

Kunny took the opportunity to open the conversation: "You know, it's agents, photographers, makeup artists, investors, ......."

She began to chatter about her internet celebrity life, all of which were non-nutritious topics, and most of the content was obviously whitewashed; She portrays herself as a beautiful, brave, kind, and strong goddess who never loses herself and lets go of her bottom line, and repeatedly hints that she likes Yan Wuxian's type of boy - although she doesn't know what kind of person Yan Wuxian is.

The more she spoke, the more energetic she became, and with the habitual oral habit of "you know" that popped up from time to time, her body slowly came up, and her right hand naturally grabbed Yan Wuxian's left arm, and she almost leaned her head on the latter's shoulder.

At this moment, Yan Wuxian only glanced to the left slightly, and he could clearly see two white flowers that were rubbing his arms intentionally or unintentionally, the unscientific shape, after being squeezed, seemed to jump out of the low neckline of Kunny's T-shirt at any time, which was thrilling.

But Yan Wuxian just didn't look at it, and his response to Kunny was quite perfunctory, because he was clear about the nature of the current situation.

Although Yan Wuxian didn't know what was going on between Jamal and Kunny during the day, there was no doubt that the two had not developed a relationship of using each other or relying on each other; Coupled with the fact that Jamal has obviously lost ground now, Kunny's strategy is naturally to find another person to cling to, so ...... Who is this man?

At present, it seems that Ran Xiangtian and Yan Wuxian are both objects that can be prioritized.

Kunny did hesitate for a long time on this issue, but finally she decided: Let's go and curry favor with Yan Wuxian first.

There are two reasons why she chose this way: first, at dinner, she also heard that Yan Wuxian is a matter of the capable person, although Ran Xiangtian, a survival expert, is also very useful, but compared with the capable person, the strength of ordinary people is really not reliable; Second...... In terms of personality and appearance, she does prefer Yan Wuxian, on the other hand, Ran Xiangtian shows a hypocritical atmosphere that she is very familiar with everywhere...... Ironically, this smell of the same kind disgusted her.

Of course, Kunny didn't leave no way out; On the one hand, she curryed favor with Yan Wuxian, and on the other hand, she did not completely cut off the possibility of using others in the future, so she deliberately waited until Ran Xiangtian fell asleep before getting up to chat with Yan Wuxian.

"It doesn't hurt, I suddenly want to go to the toilet." After scratching his head and babbling in a deliberately sweet voice for half an hour, Kunny finally took further action when he saw that Yan was unharmed or indifferent.

"Oh." Yan Wuxian tilted his head and responded, "Then be careful, don't trigger those alarm devices set up by Brother Ran." ”

"Huh? Won't you go with me? Kunny wondered.

"Do you need it?" Yan Wuxian asked rhetorically almost without thinking, and added a second after asking, "Is it convenient?" ”

"Of course I need to, it's so dark, it's inconvenient for me to go alone." Kunny's answer was something he had thought about a long time ago, "Please, you can bring me a lit firewood and help me carry it, of course you have to turn around and don't peek, and by the way, help me guard it from others." ”

"Okay...... Yan Wuxian nodded, picked up a branch from the fire with an impatient expression, and followed her.

Kunny was stunned and walked out of a distance of dozens of meters with him, only to find a bush to squat in, and after Yan Wuxian turned around, she repeatedly told "Don't peek" in a tone of wanting to refuse and welcome, it was completely a posture of luring the other party to do something, so that Yan Wuxian also rolled her eyes when she turned her back to her, and shook her head helplessly.

A few minutes later, Kunny waited for a long time, and didn't see Yan Wushu rushing towards her, which made her very disappointed, and she was already secretly scolding in her heart if this kid was incompetent in some way, however, at this moment, in the dark...... Suddenly, there was a strange noise.

There was a vague wheezing sound, not an ordinary gasp, but a heavy, muddy, obscene movement that sounded obscene.

"Who's there?" Yan Wushu was very alert, and even Kunny heard the voice, he must have heard it.

As the so-called artist is bold, Yan Wuxian asked while holding the lit branch and walking towards the source of the sound.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, I only heard a sound of "呑呑" in the darkness, and then a shadow rushed out under the cover of the bushes, which was faster than a rabbit, and in an instant, it "swooped" to a very far place, and disappeared quickly, even Yan Wuxian didn't see what it was.

"What's wrong?" A few seconds later, Kunny came over as well. In fact, she had already lifted her pants up, and she was just pretending to squat there, so she came very quickly when there was real movement.

Yan Wuxian turned his head to look at her and replied, "There seems to be something over there just now, and now it's gone, maybe ...... What kind of critter. ”

"Critters?" Kunny frowned, "No! I could clearly hear a gasp of breath just now, and it must have been human...... Still...... It's good to be obscene......" She said this, and suddenly stepped forward, hugged Yan Wuwu's arm, and then began to pretend to cry, "I hate it, someone must be peeking at me." ”

Yan Wuxian didn't speak, just silently watched her perform.

Kunny pretended to cry for a while, then suddenly looked up again, as if remembering something: "I know! It must be surnamed He! She pointed the finger at He Huai, and said conclusively, "When I slept before, he deliberately slept close to me, and got closer and closer, after I fell asleep, I felt someone touch my leg, and then I looked back, and found that he just turned over and took his hand back...... Now that I think about it, he must have been pretending to be asleep and rubbing oil! She stomped her foot in anger and scolded, "This old pervert! It must be him, he looked at me honestly during the day, he must have been peeping just now! ”

Yan Wuxian didn't believe what she said, even if she didn't say it, this side of the story alone was not enough as evidence.

While she was crying, Yan Wuxian took advantage of the situation to break away from her embrace, stepped forward slowly, and used the firelight to illuminate the place where the wheezing sound was heard, and the result was ...... He had actually found it on the ground - a puddle of liquid.

The puddle of liquid was undoubtedly fresh, not much, almost dripping on a stone, without the pungent smell of excrement, and not like plant secretions or dew.

A few seconds later, Kunny followed Yan Wuxian's line of sight and saw the small puddle of liquid, she suddenly showed an extremely disgusted look, and let out: "Babble-" sound.

"It should be saliva." Yan Wuxian looked closer again, confirmed, and continued, "Human saliva." ”

Although the truth was different from what Kunny had imagined in the few seconds just now, it still made her feel hairy and goosebumps.

…………

It wasn't long before the two of them returned to camp.

At a glance, everyone else was still asleep, and none of them seemed to have moved.

Yan Wuxian asked Kunny to go to sleep if he had nothing to do, and it was time to change shifts after a while, Kunny didn't say anything more, just glared at He Huai who was sleeping viciously, and then changed to an area away from the other party to continue sleeping.

For what happened just now, Yan Wuxian could figure it out some and some couldn't, but he was not in a hurry or bothered, because he knew it...... And that's just the first day.

After another period of time, Yan Wuxian saw that it was almost time to change shifts, so he went to wake up Daniel, and then went back to the place where he was lying and lay down again.

But this time, Yan Wuxian didn't sleep anymore, he just closed his eyes, controlled his breathing, and listened secretly......

Sure enough, about twenty minutes after he fell asleep, he heard the sound of Jamal getting up.

Then, there is the sound of Jamal and Daniel leaving together and walking into the jungle; Even without eye confirmation, Yan Wuxian could roughly guess that it was Jamal who gave Daniel a look or gesture after getting up and called him away.

When they walked farther, Yan was unharmed...... It also moved.

At this moment, Yan Wuxian was a little serious, from getting up, to moving, and even to walking into the jungle, he didn't make the slightest sound, even himself, if he closed his eyes, he couldn't detect this "silent action".

He wasn't worried that someone in the camp would get up and find out that he wasn't there when he left, and in that case, he could get past as long as he said he was up to pee. But if Jamal and Daniel find out he's eavesdropping, things get complicated, so he hides his voice.

One step, one step...... When Yan Wuxian followed the two people, he stepped very cautiously at every step, in case the other party left any detection methods in the place where he passed by - he had seen too many such techniques, and Yan Wuxian himself was also a good hand, for example, quietly sprinkling a handful of broken soil in a dark place, and then passing by there, if he saw a shoe print on it when he turned back after a while, he would immediately know that someone had followed him just now.

"Why did I call you here, you should know it, right?" After a short while, Jamal and Daniel stopped, and Jamal was the first to ask questions.

As soon as Yan Wushu saw the two of them stop, he immediately found a safe place to hide, and at the same time pressed down his breathing and heartbeat, and the whole person was as quiet as a rock.

"Because I called you 'black boxer'?" Daniel heard Jamal's question, raised his chin, and replied calmly.

Previously, Daniel had always spoken in front of people with a GAY look, and his wording was relatively elegant, and the only time he spoke in a straight manly tone was when he rescued He Huai and scolded Jamal.

But right now, Daniel spoke in this tone, as if this was the real him......

"You know me?" Jamal asked again.

"Hmph......" Daniel sneered, "I do know a martial artist named Jamal Chavez...... If you call a down-and-out boxer with little talent and no fame, you also call a martial artist. He paused, then continued, "Actually, I'm not very interested in the sport of 'two men fighting each other shirtless,' but I'm quite passionate about gambling, so I occasionally go to a few boxing matches." Coincidentally, one of the few black boxing fights I've seen was played by Jamal Chavez against the then underground boxing champion 'Tiger Tiger', aka ...... You. ”

Tiger's face sank: "So you knew who I was from the beginning?" ”

"Yes." Daniel replied, "But I'm too lazy to expose you, first, I don't think 'Tiger' is necessarily your real name, and second, to expose you doesn't do me any good, and it will give me a negative impression of 'someone related to black market boxing.'" ”

"But last night, when you were helping that piece of waste, you still told me who I was." The next second, Tiger glared at him and continued in a reproachful tone.

Daniel spread his hands: "I'm also quick to talk, and when I come back to my senses, the words have already come out......

"But you did go a little too far, didn't you?

"I don't care about the life or death of that waste He Huai, but if someone dies on the spot because of your push, then Ran Xiangtian will definitely take the opportunity to launch a denunciation of you and let you pay for your life. And you...... It will never sit idly by, and then it will lead to fights and even fights.

"Considering that you are a capable person, and that Yan Wuxian is also a capable person, you are really going to fight, and the situation will not end well...... When the time comes, you two will suffer from the pond fish, do you think it is better for me to shoot or not?

"To sum up, the judgment I made in an instant made me choose to save He Huai, turn big things into small things, and calm people."

When Tiger heard this, he continued, "It seems that you are not a stylist either......

"Hehe......" Daniel smiled, "I am, my nickname is 'Stylist', because my favorite thing is to kill people while they're sitting with their backs to me......"

"Heh, a psychopathic murderer, huh?" Tiger squinted at the other and instinctively turned sideways half a step away from Daniel.

"No, no, no, that's your misunderstanding." Daniel raised his right hand and waved his index finger slightly, "Psychologists have already summed up the psychological demands of all well-known perverted murderers in history, such as 'to achieve a certain expectation that cannot be met by oneself', 'to make killing one's mission and job', 'for a certain religious belief', 'to overcome the shadow from the psyche', 'to satisfy some distorted greed or ideal', 'discriminatory mentality', 'perverted entertainment', and 'political purpose', and so on. ”

At this point, he paused for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and said, "And I'm different...... Every time I kill someone, there is a very good and logical reason. Like the real Jamal Chavez, I went to kill him the night he finished his fight with you...... Obviously he was a piece of garbage, he should have fallen in the second round, but he still stood up so many times, and he was stunned until the last point calculation before losing, which caused me to lose so much money, so I went to kill him overnight; A steel wire is used, which is quickly strangled and clean......

"You see, he made me so angry, and I didn't make him suffer when I killed him, proving that I'm not a pervert, right?

"Later, I also went to check, after the garbage died, because no one came to claim the body, his body was taken away by the federal army not long after, and it is said that part of his body was donated to a soldier with a broken arm who was wounded on the battlefield, which is to make the best use of it! If it weren't for me, that soldier might have to live with prosthetics for the rest of his life, so I've actually done a good thing, haven't I?

"Besides, even though I've killed a lot of people, I can stop at any time, and there's no internal drive to keep killing...... It's like I've been here with you all day and didn't do anything, right? ”

In the end, his expression and tone became more and more like a perverted murderer, as if he would do it at any time.

Seeing this, Tiger was covered in cold sweat, and his sweat marks were quite conspicuous due to the reflection in the moonlight.

"Huh...... Don't be nervous, I said, I'm not a pervert, as long as you don't take the initiative to do something bad for me, I won't do anything to you. Daniel saw that the other party did not answer, so he said, "I took this opportunity to talk to you to show that I am sincere in cooperating with you." ”

"Oh?" Tiger was still skeptical, "Why me?" I'm a street rat now. ”

"It's okay to cross the street, the situation will always change." Daniel said, "As for the reason for working with you...... Because I don't know the details of the other people, and I can't tell which of their words is true and which is false, so until I see through their old background, each of them seems dangerous to me.

"But you...... I've seen you, Tiger, and I know what you're up there for, so I'd rather ally with you. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and slapped Tiger on the shoulder with one hand, "Brother, think about it, the water behind this 'survival game' is probably deeper than we imagined." It's definitely better to use each other if you're alone, and with your current situation, there's nothing to lose, right? ”

Tiger swallowed and glanced at the hand on his shoulder again: "Okay...... OK. ”

"Hmm." Daniel withdrew his hand and nodded in satisfaction, "So...... Now that we're in a relationship, can you tell me what happened between you and that woman during the day today? ”
