Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Counterattack!
"The opportunity is here!"
Chen Wen’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly accelerated.
This time he made a big movement, even with the sound of the wind and the rustling leaves covering it.
Yan Bian and his two companions also heard the commotion behind them.
"Give me the weapon! Quick!"
Ding Decai was scared.
He had fired two arrows, and if the opponent attacked, they would surely deal with him first.
Yan Bian snorted coldly, ignoring Ding Decai.
Though he felt it was useless, Yan Bian still loudly explained in English.
As Yan Bian was speaking until his mouth was dry,
a stone the size of a child’s fist shot out from the bushes very close to the three of them.
Here it comes!
Yan Bian swung his long spear, sending the stone flying.
But just as he lifted the long spear,
a dark shadow leaped out from the bushes.
It was Chen Wen!
Before the three of them could react,
Chen Wen dashed toward Ding Decai, who was closest to him.
Ding Decai, terrified, wanted to fight back.
Chen Wen looked at Ding Decai’s panicked eyes and showed a cruel smile.
[Stealth Attack (Golden): You are more adept at ambushes, and when attacking from the shadows, your speed and strength are massively enhanced!]
Chen Wen delivered a knee strike, hitting Ding Decai’s stomach directly.
Ding Decai clutched his stomach and fell silently.
It hurt too much!
The pain was so intense he couldn’t make a sound!
Ding Decai even felt like his intestines were broken from the hit!
Zhang Hu saw Ding Decai fall and was about to make a move, but saw a blur of shadow.
Chen Wen charged forward with unbelievable human speed and threw a fast punch.
[Zero-frame Start]
In Zhang Hu’s eyes, a fist rapidly enlarged.
With a muffled groan, Zhang Hu immediately fell asleep.
In just a few seconds.
When Yan Bian just realized what was happening, his two teammates were already down.
What?
Yan Bian opened his mouth, finally seeing the opponent’s face clearly.
Asian.
A bit handsome?
Chen Wen looked at Yan Bian, ignoring everything else.
He rushed forward again, pinning the now unwilling-to-resist Yan Bian to the ground.
Camera?
Chen Wen frowned slightly, roughly tearing off the camera and smashing it against a rock.
Glancing at the writhing Ding Decai on the ground, Chen Wen snorted and kicked him again.
"Friend, this is a misunderstanding..."
Yan Bian saluted in French military style while explaining in English.
Chen Wen ignored him.
He took the crossbow and long spear from Yan Bian and said in English, "Go!"
Yan Bian hesitated but still stood up.
He didn’t bother with the fallen Zhang Hu and the writhing Ding Decai.
Chen Wen took Yan Bian away.
The two were left behind.
Of course, Chen Wen carried the two long spears and the crossbow arrow on his back.
...
This scene in the rainforest was captured by the cameras.
[Wow! Lambo!]
[So terrifying, is this guy a special forces soldier?]
[Ding Decai got what he deserved, but our Hu was just collateral damage!]
[This guy is not simple! His actions are too fast! The stone had just flown over when he jumped out of the bushes.]
[It’s not just speed, the strength is fierce too! This punch might have killed Hu, there’s no response from Hu yet!]
The netizens in the cut-off live broadcast room were all discussing fervently.
Meanwhile, the production team was somewhat at a loss due to this sudden incident.
"Who is he? Why is he on the island?"
Xiao Yong frowned tightly, continually urging the rescue team to move quickly.
At the same time, he had a bad feeling about the person’s identity.
This guy... could he be military?
Did we accidentally stumble upon their plan?
Xiao Yong shuddered, quickly picked up the phone, and dialed the director’s number.
...
"Move faster!"
Chen Wen urged Yan Bian while cautiously looking behind.
No one was following.
It seemed the plan succeeded!
However, they had brought cameras, something Chen Wen hadn’t expected.
They had cameras, which might provide real-time feedback; perhaps they already knew about him.
Chen Wen frowned, thinking: Next, I can only force this person to get information.
Given they used high-tech equipment, he might also have a tracking device on him.
Thinking of this, Chen Wen carefully searched Yan Bian’s body.
Sure enough, Chen Wen discovered a smartwatch and an unknown device.
This might be what’s used for tracking.
Chen Wen thought for a moment, left the two items in place, and smashed them with a rock.
...
"Something’s wrong! Yan Bian’s heartbeat is gone!"
On the production side,
Xiao Yong hung up the phone, sweating profusely; then he heard the bad news.
"Dead?"
Xiao Yong felt a chill down his spine.
The director just said that as long as the person isn’t dead, it’s manageable.
This...
"Not necessarily; the opponent might have just removed the heartbeat-monitoring watch; it seems more likely it was removed now."
The assistant took a deep breath.
Xiao Yong cursed but relaxed a little: "Push the rescue team, also, have others return to the camp, and don’t move; we can only wait for news now."
...
On Chen Wen’s side,
after circling in the rainforest for a long time,
he and Yan Bian stopped inside the rainforest.
He didn’t pay attention to the constantly explaining Yan Bian.
Chen Wen pulled a few vines and tied Yan Bian’s hands.
He used a sailor knot, common on ships.
Seeing the knot, Yan Bian felt a sinking feeling inside.
Just from this technique, this man is definitely not simple!
Special forces?
Yan Bian brainstormed.
Chen Wen remained silent, sitting cross-legged opposite Yan Bian to rest.
The two were in a stalemate for over an hour.
In between, Chen Wen heard the roar of a helicopter overhead.
Before he could see it, Yan Bian showed a look of delight.
But under Chen Wen’s predatory gaze, Yan Bian dared not shout for help.
Even his breathing slowed.
After a while,
Yan Bian hesitated and said, "Friend, we really have no ill intentions; this is all a misunderstanding!"
Chen Wen thought for a moment and asked, "Who are you people? What are you doing on the island?"
Hearing this, Yan Bian immediately said, "We are all ordinary people, here to record a wilderness survival reality show on this island."
As long as they could communicate.
After explaining his identity, Yan Bian breathed a sigh of relief.
But Chen Wen just sneered disdainfully and retorted, "Ordinary people? Are the show’s producers mad? Letting regular people survive on an island? Tell the truth! Also, how did you get to the island? What’s your plan to leave?"
Listening to Chen Wen, Yan Bian felt helpless.
"I’m telling the truth; we come from various walks of life. Although we haven’t participated in survival challenges, we received basic training. We arrived by speedboat, and after forty days, the production team would send people to pick us up."
Chen Wen frowned, unsure if the other was lying.
"Then what about the helicopter?"
"It’s the rescue team ensuring our safety."
Hearing this, Chen Wen felt uncertain inside.
Could it really be a survival show?
Yan Bian wanted to ask Chen Wen some questions.
But Chen Wen’s lack of response left Yan Bian a bit frustrated.
"Sigh, what should I do? I wonder if the rescue team can find me."
Yan Bian sighed softly.
This time he spoke in Chinese.
Chen Wen suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Yan Bian.
Hua Country person?
Seeming to sense Chen Wen’s movement, Yan Bian looked up, meeting Chen Wen’s gaze.
