Chapter 610: Poison seeking in the wilderness (5)
Translator: 549690339
If humans wanted to survive in the wilderness, other than the most basic material conditions, they needed a few more things …
First, a healthy body.
Second, a strong psychological endurance.
Third, sufficient survival knowledge.
Only those who had these three qualities were qualified to compete with nature in a dangerous environment.
!!
But the character that Feng bujue was playing now clearly did not meet the requirements.
The second and third conditions might not mean much to brother Jue since his personality and intelligence were his own. The problem lay in the first condition, which was a healthy body.
Feng bujue had thought … That the people who came to this show would not be addicted to drugs, but after experiencing it for himself, he understood … For people who took drugs, even if you let them stay in a relatively comfortable civilized world, they would still be a pile of mud that could not do anything, much less survive in the wild.
“Ha … Phew … F * cking hell …” Feng bujue was gasping for air as he staggered through the forest.”I’ve walked for twenty minutes and only covered this little distance …” He glanced at the game menu again.”But my stamina points have dropped by one thousand …”
Brother Jue leaned against a tree and gasped.”Phew … I’m not as fit as the average person, much worse …” He shook his head.”The worst thing is … This ‘withdrawal symptoms’ can’t be stopped … Ha … Ah …” As he said that, he yawned, and at the same time … Tears and saliva flowed down his face.
“Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!” Brother Jue spat out the unknown liquid in his mouth and used his sleeve to wipe his face.”Phew … I can’t go on like this … It’s getting worse. Dizziness, cold, heat … I’ll bear with all these. However, the soreness in her limbs gradually turned into numbness, and the nausea in her stomach was developing into pain … This was not a good sign. And this huge amount of sweat … It will cause the water loss to be too fast …”
Feng bujue understood that he had two choices. The first was to rest on the spot and use his willpower to get through the peak of withdrawal symptoms. The second was to find something that could relieve his addiction as soon as possible and relieve the pain in his body.
“Hmm … Even though I do want to choose a more active strategy …” Brother Jue’s vision was starting to blur, but he still tried to observe his surroundings, trying to find any clues.”But what kind of clues do we have around here …”
Just as he was about to sit down, suddenly …
“CAW, CAW, CAW, CAW.” The low moans of two animals came from the forest.
Feng bujue did not dare to be careless and immediately turned toward the source of the sound.
However, the things that entered his sight made him suspect … Whether he was hallucinating because of his drug addiction.
Da da … Chi Chi …
The animal slowly walked past brother Jue. It didn’t have any interest in the human not far away, nor was it afraid of him.
“You must be kidding …” Feng bujue thought he was seeing things, so he quickly rubbed his eyes, but reality proved that he was not mistaken.
The animal that strolled past him was actually a zebra (once distributed in South Africa, extinct in 1883). Its entire body was brownish-brown, no different from a normal horse. Only its head, neck, and shoulders had zebra stripes.
What kind of horse is this … Brother Jue knew very little about this extinct animal, and he had never seen it before, so he thought to himself, this horse’s family sure is messy …
As he thought about this, he picked up his military shovel and quietly circled behind the horse, slowly approaching it.
“Brother MA, please don’t blame me …” Feng bujue mumbled to himself.”After I take care of you, I’ll have three days ‘worth of food in my hands. I’ll get rid of my worries about food at the start of the competition, which will undoubtedly give me a great advantage. The extra food can also be used as a bargaining chip …”
As he spoke, he was already two meters away from his prey.
Just as brother Jue was about to make his move, but before he could … The zebra-like creature seemed to have noticed something. The next second, it raised its head and neighed, then ran away.
The 350-kilogram fellow scuttled out at lightning speed, turned his head, and ran through the forest … In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the scattered sound of hooves in his ears.
At that moment, Feng bujue suddenly realized … That what he had just done was extremely dangerous. If his first attack failed (in terms of the physical quality of a drug addict, this was quite possible) and instead injured and angered this beast that was more than four times the weight of a human, then he would be in deep trouble … Being knocked over or bitten was considered light, but if the horse turned around and stomped on him, he would probably die on the spot …
“This is not good …” Brother Jue covered his forehead with one hand and tried to control his breathing.”Looks like the withdrawal symptoms are affecting my thinking …”
At that point, Feng bujue finally realized the scariest thing about withdrawal symptoms. The symptoms would not only bring physical discomfort, but it would also affect the nervous system.
For example, in the three minutes earlier, Feng bujue ‘s’ memory and action ‘had been affected … His brain’s memory, focus, calculation, and judgment had all been temporarily affected. His thoughts became slow and muffled, accompanied by signs of confusion in his memories.
This led to … During that period of time, he subconsciously thought that he still had unrestricted combat ability. That was why he picked up his shovel without thinking and wanted to kill a horse …
Of course,[withdrawal symptoms] ‘s thought-interfering effect would disappear …
This DEBUFF was actually very interesting. It was random, periodic, and uncertain. Although it contained all the drug withdrawal symptoms, these effects would not all take effect at once.
In any case … Every few to ten minutes, its effect would change. As for how it would change … Only God knew. When it transformed again, it might only have the insignificant effect of ‘insatiable appetite’. However, it was also possible that … Seven or eight different effects would occur at the same time, just like what brother Jue was currently experiencing.
“Hmm … If that’s the case, then all the more reason for me to stop and rest …” Feng bujue thought about it for about a minute before deciding to continue.”I have to find a place where I can hide the weed as soon as possible … Or I’ll turn into an idiot …” He did not know that this DEBUFF had a mutation effect, but he believed that the situation would only worsen …
Therefore, brother Jue pulled himself together and tried his best to focus as he staggered deeper into the forest.
After another five minutes, his stamina points had dropped to 1734/4600. The effect of ‘withdrawal symptoms’ also refreshed at this time.
“What’s going on … I feel better after walking for a while. ” Feng bujue, who was freed from the mental interference, quickly noticed this.”Could it be … The effect of this DEBUFF will be … F * ck!”
At this moment, he didn’t come to a sudden realization, but his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden stench.
“A body, huh?” that was Feng bujue’s first reaction.
His reaction represented the reaction of most players. Any player who had spent some time in Thriller Paradise had the ability to instantly recognize the smell of corpses and blood, whether in the game or in real life. In a way, they had mastered a skill.
“Haha … That’s great …” Brother Jue smelled the stench and was not shocked. Instead, he was happy. He immediately picked up his pace and ran toward the source of the stench.
Unsurprisingly, he found a corpse beside a big tree dozens of meters away.
It was a male corpse, wearing only a pair of underpants and a pair of handcuffs on his wrist. At this moment, the body had already rotted quite badly, and there were traces of animal gnawing on the skin and flesh.
“Suffocation … Rotting green spots … Expanding stomach … There are no human footprints nearby …” When Feng bujue was examining the body, the information flashed through his mind and was turned into puzzle pieces.”Two bite marks … Aardwolf … Unknown lifeform … Scavenger?”
In less than ten seconds, brother Jue had completed the initial survey of the crime scene. He spat unhappily.”Tsk … The weather is too hot, and the body has been damaged by wild animals … It’s hard to determine the time of death and cause of death …” He could not help but say,”sigh … If only Xiao Tan was here. After all, he’s a professional …”
“Wait …” Two seconds later, Feng bujue was startled.”Hmph … Why would I need to analyze that? this is a television show.” Thinking of this, he was enlightened.”The entire Island is under the watch of the jiumi group, and everything on the island … Is naturally arranged by them.”
After realizing that, brother Jue studied the dead body before him again, and he found something.”Ha … I see. “No wonder there were only footprints of beasts nearby, but no footprints of his own …” His expression changed slightly.”This body was moved here by someone … And those people who carried it had already cleaned up their footprints before they left.”
“Then … What is the purpose of the program team for placing a male body here … The message they want to send to the contestant is …” Feng bujue used his fingers to touch his forehead and nose.”Hmm … The posture of the body is obviously meaningless. When they left the body here, they should have known that the body would be flipped over by a wild beast.” He paused for a moment and read again,”according to this line of thought … Tattoos, blood words, carving words on flesh, and other methods of providing clues are undoubtedly unreliable. After all, no one can predict where the beast will bite.”
In the end, Feng bujue’s eyes locked onto two things, a pair of underpants and a pair of handcuffs. (To be continued.) ”
