Chapter 384: The Law of the Jungle
At 5:40 p.m., Lin Rui and the others finally arrived at the designated place...... しw0。 They completed the first stage of the Waynes race. But they weren't the first to arrive, there were already five people in the military camp at the top of the hill, who had arrived before them.
Here, they once again met Sneiker, a contestant representing Morningstar, and Johnson, a Brazilian known as a beast. There were also several entrants from other companies. After a day and a night of hard escape, most of these people were exhausted. And almost all of them are a little bit wounded.
There was no food, no water, not even a bed to rest in. The whole thing is like an abandoned building. These contestants, who have passed the first stage of the test, are here to wait for the next step of the competition.
Time passed, and towards the end of the first stage of the competition, two more people entered the camp, and finally the number of people in the first stage of the competition was fixed at nine.
A military helicopter, with a huge engine roar, landed in the center of the camp. The middle-aged man in a smart suit stepped out of the helicopter. He meticulously combed and smeared his hairspray, even under the strong currents of the helicopter rotors.
The man in the suit walked to the middle of the crowd in a dashing manner, and said with a slight smile, "First of all, I must congratulate you all on your ability, which has enabled you to cross the first hurdle. I think you should know a little bit more about the Waynes race by now. You've earned the right to enter the second stage of the competition, and those who were eliminated in the first stage are not without a chance to turn the tables.
Because in the next game, it will be up to the nine of you against the thirty-six who have been eliminated. Our rules are that there are no rules. You will be thrown deeper into the jungle, with no weapons, no food, and no backup. And you're dealing with contestants who used to be just like you.
They are ferocious, cruel, and have been defeated, and there is nothing to lose. This makes them all the more dangerous. ”
"What are we going to compare?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Bear with me, I'm explaining. The man in the suit smiled slightly, "You have to compare survival, this will be a real jungle hunt." All of you, the participants in the first stage of the guò, wear one of these bracelets. You'll be in the middle of that dense jungle with the other eliminated contestants, and a week later, the one still wearing the bracelet will be the true winner of the second stage. ”
"In other words, they will snatch our bracelets regardless of a single qiē?" said Shogishi with a frown.
"Yes, as I said, opportunities are equal for everyone. The man in the suit glanced at him and said, "This electronic bracelet is equipped with a positioning device, and it will show your location no matter what the situation." You will be the prey of the other thirty-six. And I would like to reiterate the rule that we, the Organizing Committee, have pledged not to use lethal weapons, but this rule does not bind the participants. Do you understand?"
Lin Rui was silent, he knew the cruel meaning behind this sentence. These mercenaries, who are bent on winning, will do everything to compete for these nine places. The rules are not binding on them, indicating that they will fight it out in the most primitive and tragic way. The law of jungle survival is that the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle.
The man in the suit smiled, "But this is just a game after all, and in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, we will prohibit the use of any arms." In addition, we will be heavily guarded on the outskirts of the jungle. Make sure no one escapes. ”
Johnson, the Brazilian known as the beast, suddenly looked up and said, "Once I enter the forest, can I attack anyone?"
"This ......," the man in the suit frowned, "so to speak." ”
"So if I wipe out all the others and collect all nine bracelets, does it mean that I, as the victor at this stage, will be the only one?" Johnson bared Bai Sensen's teeth.
All the people who played in Guò turned their heads to look at him like they were looking at a beast.
"As long as you have the ability. The man in the suit shrugged and said, "But I don't want you to do that." Because it's not wise to do so. Because if you get rid of the other eight people here and hold nine bracelets alone, it means that you will be the target of public criticism. And if these bracelets are scattered in the hands of other people, they can somewhat reduce your burden. ”
Several armed men in black uniforms handed out a black bracelet to each person. Lin Rui took a closer look and felt that this thing was very ordinary, but it was just an ordinary electronic bracelet with a built-in positioning device. Not only did they bring this thing, it meant that every one of their actions was under the control of the competition command center.
"Alright, you've got your bracelets. You will then be released into the depths of the jungle for a week in complete isolation. Of course, this is in the case of good luck. The man in the suit smiled slightly.
A group of wolf-like armed men rushed up, forcibly put black blindfolds on Lin Rui and the others, and took them away separately. Unable to see it, Lin Rui only felt that he was stuffed into the car and drove for a long time on the bumpy mountain road. It wasn't until he was almost asleep that he was kicked out of the car.
This fall made him hurt all over his body, and Lin Rui took off his hood with great difficulty, only to find that he was in a jungle. The faint moonlight was shining through the shadows of the trees above, falling to the ground, pale and mottled.
Lin Rui scolded secretly and got up from the ground. Quickly found a tall tree, let Hou climb up, and looked carefully at the sky. He had nothing left at hand, and all he had to discern was the faint starlight of Tongguò.
In areas south of the 23rd parallel, the Southern Cross constellation can be used to determine direction in the first half of the year. The constellation of the Southern Cross is mainly composed of four bright stars, which are diagonally connected to form a cross. It extends downwards along the line connecting the two stars, about four and a half times the distance between the two stars, which is due south. Lin Rui roughly identified the direction, and then came down from the tree.
He is now hungry, hunger will lead to a lot of problems, a decrease in body and reflexes, and too low blood sugar will affect the ability to exercise. Now he must find food, or at least water. Lin Rui knew very well that it was far safer to act now than during the day. So he decided to hit the road in the dark now, at least to find a place with a water source. This is the primary question that will determine how long he will survive in this jungle
