Chapter 610 Seeking Poison in the Wilderness (VI)
"This pair of pants... is really suspicious..." Feng Bujue took the lead in looking at the lower body of the corpse, "Is this the last piece of fig leaf left by the producer for the deceased, or is it a container hiding some clues..." He touched his chin and said, "If there are really clues, then is it to test the moral bottom line of the contestants... or their tolerance limit for disgusting things..."
While thinking, Jue Ge had already moved forward and squatted down...
But when he was about to reach out to pull off the pants of the corpse, he found that... he couldn't reach out.
"Huh?" Feng Bujue was stunned, and then tried again, but it still didn't work.
"Oh~" After two seconds, his expression relaxed and he thought, "It was the system that stopped me..."
He guessed correctly... The system defined his attempt as an obscene act in an objective sense, making it impossible for him to put it into action.
"Very good." Jue Ge smiled, "This is equivalent to declaring that there are no clues here."
In a sense, Jue Ge should indeed be thankful. If there is no system limit, then he has to check it "personally" to confirm this matter.
"So... the clue is the handcuffs..." Feng Bujue immediately moved his eyes to the wrist of the corpse, "Let me see..." He grabbed the hand of the rotten corpse without hesitation and raised it to his eyes to observe carefully. After observing it for a few seconds, he said again: "There is nothing special..."
As he said, Jue Ge put down the hand of the dead body and turned the body over.
He wanted to see if there was anything hidden under the body, but there were only some scattered rotten meat and a large number of maggots.
"Aha!" Feng Bujue's eyes lit up when he saw the worms, as if he had an appetite.
The next second, Jue Ge turned around and ran excitedly to a bush not far away.
He stared at the bush as if he was looking at a menu in a restaurant...
After a few dozen seconds, Jue Ge leaned over and grabbed a handful of grass. He returned to the corpse: "Not bad... Oxalis maggots, vitamin C and protein." As he muttered, he grabbed a handful of maggots and put them in the grass leaves.
Then, he opened his mouth wide and took a bite, just like eating a salad, and started chewing.
"Well... not bad." After swallowing a bite, Jue Ge said self-deprecatingly, "At least it's much better than a sandwich I had before."
Just as he was savoring his masterpiece with relish...
"Ah!" A scream came from behind.
This time, it was undoubtedly a human's cry.
Feng Bujue's expression changed. He adjusted his posture and stood up instantly, picked up the military shovel and took a fighting posture.
But... it turned out that he didn't need to be so nervous. Because the person who made the cry was about ten meters away from him.
"Are you... are you eating the flesh of a dead person?" It turned out that the person who made the cry was another contestant - Justin Bubo.
A few seconds ago, Bubo, who was passing by, happened to catch a glimpse of Jue Ge's back. So, he decided to approach quietly to see what was going on... and when he saw Mr. "Stephen Tan" squatting next to a corpse and making an extremely clear chewing sound. Naturally, he was shocked.
"So it's you..." Feng Bujue also saw the person clearly at this time and knew it was a false alarm, "What did you say? Eating dead people? Ha! How is it possible..." He raised his left hand and showed the maggots in the wood sorrel on his hand. And replied, "It's weeds and insects."
"Huh... God..." Bubo sighed, and the expression on his face was also relaxed a lot, "You scared me to death. Mr. Tan."
After confirming that Jue Ge was not a cannibal, Bubo walked over slowly.
"But..." Bubo quickly walked in front of Jue Ge and continued. "No matter what you eat, there's no need to squat next to the corpse to eat, right?"
"The bugs are right next to the corpse, I don't think there's any need to change places." Feng Bujue replied nonchalantly, and at the same time, he stuffed a big mouthful of his "homemade hand roll" into his mouth.
"This... um..." Bubo was far away and couldn't see clearly. Now he noticed that what Jue Ge was holding was a wild grass wrapped with live maggots...
"Alas... young people nowadays." Feng Bujue looked at Bubo who was vomiting with contempt, and said earnestly, "You will vomit when you see a few bugs. You are really useless."
After Bubo vomited, he felt better. He immediately stood up and replied: "Of course I won't vomit when I see bugs! But it's different to watch someone eat live maggots!"
"Justin, Justin~" Feng Bujue was still eating, and he looked very delicious. "Young man... You have to understand that if you want to survive in this wilderness, you have to get used to similar things..." He smacked his lips and sprayed out some food residue intentionally or unintentionally, "When you let go of the prejudices of urban people, you will find... delicious food everywhere."
"Are you sure this is also considered delicious food..." Bubo covered his nose and replied with disgust.
"Relatively speaking, the taste of maggots is very good among insects, and the protein content is high." Brother Jue continued in an orderly manner, like a teacher lecturing students, "The sweet and astringent taste, coupled with the lemon-like sourness of Oxalis, is undoubtedly a fresh delicacy."
"Uh--" Bu Bo vomited again after hearing this description.
And Feng Bujue was still talking nonstop: "As for the taste, maggots that grow up eating rotten meat are fatter than those that grow up eating feces, and the meat quality is also..."
"That's enough!" Bubo interrupted Jue Ge with a panicked look, "Mr. Tan, I understand what you mean... Please don't say anything more."
"Okay..." Feng Bujue shrugged noncommittally, finished the last bite, then tilted his head to indicate the corpse behind him, and changed the subject, "What do you think?"
"What do you mean by how to look at it..." Bubo was stunned for a moment, "It's a corpse, how else can I look at it?"
"Hehe..." Feng Bujue sneered at Bubo's reaction, lowered his head to play with the military shovel in his hand, and then asked, "By the way, what is the hint you got?"
"Uh..." Bubo's expression changed suddenly, he hesitated for a long time before replying, "I don't think I can give that to you, Mr. Tan."
"Well, I understand." Jue Ge nodded in response. "After all, this is a competitive program, and it's really not good to give your exclusive information to your opponent."
Bubo was obviously stunned when he heard this, "Well... you're right." He replied woodenly.
"Anyway..." Feng Bujue looked back at the corpse, "I want to study this corpse again..." He squatted back beside the corpse, "How about... you stand there and wait for me?"
"Uh... Mr. Tan." Bubo looked at Jue's back and hesitated for a few seconds, "Actually, I'm just passing by... I just came to say hello to you, I think I should go."
"Oh, goodbye." Feng Bujue waved his hand without looking back. "Good luck."
"Goodbye, Mr. Tan." Bubo finally glanced at Jue with a strange look, then turned around silently and left.
After his footsteps faded away, Feng Bujue's mouth... a sneer appeared.
"This kid... is quite alert..." Jue stood up and looked in the direction where the other party left, "Unfortunately... he is not my opponent after all."
At first glance, what happened in the past few minutes was calm, but in fact... there were undercurrents.
First of all. The moment he saw Justin Bubo, Jue had already seen through... the other party had just smoked marijuana.
Even though Bubo had only taken a small amount, his slightly trembling hands and slightly dazed eyes could not be concealed.
Based on this situation, Feng Bujue speculated that... Bubo had at least found a hiding place for marijuana. And it is very likely that he had not taken all the stock. In other words... the other party still had some marijuana on him.
So, Jue Ge had the idea of "attacking".
When Jue Ge said "It turned out to be you...", he had already constructed every step of the plan in his mind: how to trick the other party, how to let the other party relax their vigilance. How to knock the other party out, how to break the other party's legs, etc.
However, when Bubo came to Jue Ge. Jue Ge gave up the plan of attacking. Because he realized... the other party also wanted to attack him.
As long as you observe calmly, you can find that... the Bubo who seems a little relaxed on the surface is actually very alert. From beginning to end, he kept a certain distance from Jue Ge, and his right hand was always hidden on the outside of his lower back. Obviously, he had a thing hidden in his lower back, most likely a knife... ready to attack at any time.
Next, the two chatted for a while. Both of them acted well. One was chewing grass and talking nonsense, which made people unpredictable; the other pretended to be at a loss and used two dry heaves to cover up his true intention of keeping a distance from the other party.
Soon after, Feng Bujue took the lead. He used the sentence "What do you think" to test.
And Bubo continued to play dumb.
Feng Bujue sneered and raised the military shovel again... He used this expression and action to give the other party a subtext: "I see through you, you want to do it, and I am also prepared."
Then, Brother Jue asked the question "What is the hint you got?", and used this to point out another thing: "I also know that you have found marijuana."
…………
Here I have to explain why this question can express the meaning of the subtext behind it?
The thing is... While talking about the taste of maggots with Bubo, Feng Bujue was also thinking about the corpse behind him.
It was during those few tens of seconds that he figured out the meaning of his hint...
In fact, the clue on the male corpse was the "handcuffs". Of course, the handcuffs themselves were nothing special, which Feng Bujue had already confirmed. The real function of the handcuffs was symbolic... It symbolized "the arrested person".
This clue, combined with the first hint that Jue Ge got, "You have the right to remain silent", pointed to the hiding place of the marijuana - in the mouth of the corpse.
After reasoning to this point, Feng Bujue's deduction was not over yet. He made a bold assumption and then thought of several other possible conclusions.
First, there is a marijuana hiding place near the starting point of each contestant.
Second, the hiding place is about one kilometer away from the starting position of the contestant.
Third, although this location is relatively easy to find, the marijuana hidden here is very hidden.
Fourth, the first "hint" points to the marijuana in the hiding place closest to each contestant.
Although it cannot be confirmed 100%, Feng Bujue believes that the probability of these four settings being true is very high.
Objectively speaking, through such an arrangement, the program team can allow the contestants to quickly get started with the game and each get some marijuana to alleviate the withdrawal reaction for a long period of time afterwards.
And if these four settings are not established, it is very likely that "ten players will become addicted to drugs soon after the start of the game and fall to the ground unable to struggle." For a reality show. This kind of opening is too ugly...
The above is the correlation between "tips" and marijuana hiding places.
…………
So, following on from the previous words, let’s look at the reaction of not having an erection...
After being continuously intimidated by Feng Bujue, Bu Bo's expression changed. He hesitated and gave a rejection response.
Please note that Bu Bo said "I don't think I can give you that", not "I don't think I can tell you that".
So...his words may sound like "tips" on the surface, but they actually refer to "marijuana".
There is no doubt that. By the time these words were spoken, the two men were already in a state of tacit hostility.
In this explosive situation, Brother Jue gave a meaningful response: "After all, this is a competitive program, and it is really not good to 'hand over' one's 'exclusive' information to the opponent."
This sentence basically declares the final bottom line.
Bubo naturally understood the meaning of those words, and he could only reply, "You're right," to express compromise.
In this way, their conversation came to an end. Feng Bujue took advantage of the situation and said a few nonsense words. He returned to the body (his marijuana hiding place) and squatted down, and asked: "How about... you stand there and wait for me?"
What he meant was... "How long are you going to stay here before leaving?"
After Bubo heard what he said, he accepted the eviction order very wisely and said a few words casually. Left this place.
To sum up, this... is the truth behind the few minutes of conversation between Feng Bujue and Justin Bubo...
"Ah... the NPC in this script... is really awesome..." Feng Bujue muttered while using his hands to pry the corpse's mouth off. "Before, Bell had already shown amazing physical abilities. And now this Jia Steen Bubo was so scheming... He found marijuana faster than I did; after finding it, he didn't use it in large quantities due to drug addiction, but only used the least tricks that could relieve the symptoms; and then he reasoned out The 'four points' I thought of. Then I stopped heading towards the island and took a circular route, trying to rob other people's initial marijuana hiding spots... With such cleverness, even the players would be... ugh!"
His thoughts were once again interrupted by the stench, this time of gas emanating from the corpse's mouth.
"Damn it..." Feng Bujue couldn't help but curse, because the stench actually deducted 4% of his survival points.
What's even more outrageous is that after he finally opened the corpse's mouth, he found that... the upper and lower jaws of this guy were sewn together with many wires, and there was only a finger-width gap between the two rows of teeth.
It seems...the program crew was afraid that the mouth of the dead body would open on its own or be bitten open by a wild animal, so they came up with this solution very presciently.
"The cutting... is so unprofessional. If you want to sew it, just sew it perfectly! Why did you leave a seam to let the smell out!" Feng Bujue complained unhappily, then picked up the military shovel and adjusted the structure ( The wjq-308 military shovel can be deformed to a certain extent to perform different functions), try to use the "pliers" function of the military shovel to cut off those wires.
However... the progress is not going well, because the wire stuck in the gap between the teeth is really not easy to clamp...
As a result, Brother Jue, who had inhaled too much stench, was unhappy, so he used the "hammer" function of the military shovel, smashed two rows of teeth on the corpse, and used a rough method to obtain the marijuana in his mouth.

The two marijuana cigarettes were packed in a small plastic bag and wrapped in a layer of wax, so they were well preserved.
In addition, Feng Bujue found another thing in that layer of wax...
[Name: Handcuff Key]

[Can the script be brought out: No]
[Note: What? Which handcuffs can it open, you ask? What else could it be? Dude, are you a Virgo? 】
"Great." Feng Bujue immediately used the key to open the handcuffs on the corpse's hand, "This may be of great use..."

【Function: It's up to you】
[Can the script be brought out: No]
[Note: Since you have seen the item description of this thing, it means that you have already obtained the key. 】
"Okay... the problem now is..." Brother Jue stuffed those items into his pants pockets, stood up and said, "Who should I borrow a fire from..."
He also knew that if that didn't work, he could just eat the marijuana cigarette directly, but right now his "withdrawal reaction" happened to be in a relatively weak period, so he didn't rush to use it.
"Let's walk for a while before we talk..." Feng Bujue took a deep breath and decided to leave this place first to avoid the appearance of another player with the same mentality as Bu Bo.
But what he didn't know was that at this moment, a pair of eyes... were staring at him from the darkness.
Every move he and Bu Bo made before was all in the eyes of "that person". (To be continued...)
