Yan Chu did not fall asleep directly but reset his live broadcast ball so that the object of its livestream link became the terminal of their spaceship after returning to his tent after the vigil last night.
Therefore, the audience thought he forgot to start the live broadcast this morning. In fact, it was not. It was just that he set his live broadcast ball as a temporary camp monitor. During the day, some things that happened after they left got recorded in the live broadcast ball. The terminal on the spaceship recorded the monitoring contents of the live broadcast ball. Yan Chu went to the spaceship merely to watch what happened in the camp during the day.
If their every move was being monitored, maybe someone would appear in the camp after they left, and the hidden live broadcast ball might be able to detect the presence of the other party.
After he came to the spaceship, he quickly flipped through the recorded video. Unfortunately, the camp was quiet during this time, and no strangers or strange machines had entered.
Yan Chu kept pressing the fast-forward button, his eyes never leaving the video from beginning to end.
“Use mine next time.”
Gu Xixi came in and spoke coldly to Yan Chu.
Yan Chu pressed the pause button of the video and turned to look at her.
“I originally participated in this competition just to accompany my brother.”
When starting today, Gu Xixi noticed only seven live broadcast balls behind them. Yan Chu seemed not to take out his live broadcast balls to start his live broadcast from the beginning.
Gu Xixi certainly would not think Yan Chu had forgotten about this, so there was only one possibility, he deliberately left his live broadcast ball behind.
“Leave my live broadcast ball at the camp these days. Let’s say my live broadcast ball is faulty or accidentally lost when the platform asks. I have no interest in the championship.”
Gu Xixi spoke as she leaned against the spaceship cabin with her hands folded.
“I owe you one.”
Yan Chu hesitated for a moment and answered.
This time his main mission was to win the championship of the field live broadcast competition. He did not know the current situation in the outside world and whether he had an absolute gap with the second rank. Closing the live broadcast room for a long time meant that voting got suspended and was very likely to be overtaken by others. He would not be able to complete the main mission at that time, which meant that he would be punished by imprisonment for 80 years.
Previously, Yan Chu planned that he, Gu Xixi, Gu Xihe, and Sheng Xiaoxing’s live broadcasts would take turns to stay as monitors, but this would make it easier to arouse suspicion from the outside world. Now that he had discovered the strange flowers, Yan Chu did not want their behavior to attract too much attention and speculation.
Gu Xixi offered to use her live broadcast ball as a monitor, which meant she was ready to withdraw from the game. Regardless of whether Gu Xixi had any hope of winning the championship, in Yan Chu’s opinion, he still owed her favor.
“No need.”
Gu Xixi glanced at the screen of the spaceship terminal.
“Although you don’t say it, I can feel that you know more than I do.”
Yan Chu’s expression did not change, but he was shocked by her sharpness in his heart.
“I just want us, brother and sister, to leave this planet alive, as long as you can do it.” Gu Xixi took a deep look at Yan Chu, took out the live broadcast ball she had just turned off after returning to the camp, handed it to Yan Chu, and then left.
“Everyone will survive.”
This sentence was Yan Chu’s promise and guarantee.
Gu Xixi paused, the corners of her mouth turned slightly up, and she put on an imperceptible smile.
In the afternoon, the party did not go deep into the forest but just walked around outside the forest.
Ou Yang, Xu Santong, and the Gu siblings stayed in the camp. Their task in the afternoon was to catch some seafood in the sea and stew a pot of delicious and warm seafood soup in the evening.
On the first day, they ate fresh and sweet shellfish. Everyone was missing the taste, and it was safe to be with Gu Xihe.
Everything was calm until the live broadcast balls turned off, and everyone was ready to sleep.
Everyone ate a large piece of snake meat, a bowl of salty and delicious seafood soup, and a variety of fruits with sufficient water and a sweet taste. They were full, making people lazy to move.
Yan Chu served as the chef, and he was also the foremost supplier of the ingredients here. Gu Xihe also contributed a lot, so the other two groups were given the work of dealing with the aftermath. And they did not have any complaints.
In the first vigil group, Linda and the other three players from the Western Federation were on the watch. As usual, they went to the second group of Ou Yang and Xu Santong to call after two and a half hours.
“Coming.”
The people in the camp tent seemed to have just woken up. Ou Yang opened the curtain and walked out.
“Go to sleep. I’ll be watching with Brother Xu.”
Ou Yang rubbed his eyes and told Linda. The others were not surprised when they saw that Xu Santong did not come out. They only thought that the other party might still put on clothes.
They yawned and stayed up for more than two hours. They were bored without any entertainment tools and had long wanted to sleep. When they saw Ou Yang coming out, they did not think much about it and went back to their tents one after another.
Ou Yang sat by the fire alone, staring at the bonfire without moving his eyes, and did not stand up until half an hour later.
He went straight to his tent, picked up Xu Santong, who was not moving and walked towards the quiet forest.
“Gene change, activated period…”
Doctor looked at his pile of animal samples with some excitement. It was the first time he had tested his great masterpiece on a human body.
For now, his potion was flawless.
He injected the gene of the young antelope into an old antelope. After the fruitful transformation, the strength and energy of the old antelope reached two-thirds of the young antelope successfully and significantly extended its life span.
However, there were not enough samples, and the time to make the medicine was not long enough. He did not know how long the activated gene after such a change could be maintained. And whether it was a complete all the physical characteristics inheritance of the gene’s original owner or a short-term one, which required a large number of experiments and long-term observation.
However, a period of genetic changes was enough for Doctor. So long as he could leave this place, he would have enough time to improve this potion. Besides, countless fresh bodies were waiting for him outside this planet.
When a body was about to break down, he could inject new genes, break down, and transform them until he could create a perfect genetic medicine.
Now he only needed one living person to let him verify whether this genetic medicine that worked on most animals could also succeed on humans.
“Warning, warning, two strangers have entered the surveillance area.”
“Warning, warning, two strangers have entered the surveillance area.”
The AI repeated the alarm sound. Doctor looked up, and the experimental body came.
“Ou Yang, what’s the matter with you? Bring me here?”
Just as Doctor was about to open the laboratory door and prepare to welcome his experimental body in, “Xu Santong,” who was supposed to be asleep, actually woke up unexpectedly.
He jumped down from Ou Yang’s shoulder, touched his dizzy head, and questioned Ou Yang.
“Are you mentally ill?”
“Xu Santong” looked around and found the hidden laboratory underground. Therefore, the surrounding area was flat, including some monitoring equipment, without careful inspection. Doctor was not worried that Xu Santong would find the existence of the laboratory.
Couldn’t you do anything right? He cursed secretly in his heart, intending to take the weapon and catch the person directly.
“Bang!”
Before Doctor left, “Xu Santong” suddenly took out a signal device, ignited it, and raised it into the sky. This thing could contact the teammates at their campsite. Now Doctor hesitated. If the people from their camp came over and Xu Santong disappeared at this position for no reason, perhaps they would have to dig the area around the laboratory three feet deep.
This act was not in line with Doctor’s original intention.
He returned to his original position and temporarily released his control over Ou Yang in anger. Fortunately, there was still much time, and he had plenty of opportunities.
“What’s the matter? Why are we here?”
Ou Yang woke up from his daze, looked at the lonely forest where the two of them were, and asked in doubt.
“You ask me, who do I ask? Didn’t you bring me here? Ou Yang, Ou Yang, don’t tell me you can still sleepwalk?”
“Xu Santong” rubbed his waist with his left hand, then lowered his body and tied his shoelaces with one hand.
Now that the moonlight was just right, he surveyed the surrounding land, and his sight stayed for a moment in a particular place without any trace.
“Who’s sleepwalking?”
Ou Yang did not know that he had that problem, but Xu Santong did not look like he was lying, and they did appear in an inexplicable place. He did not speak again after rebutting.
“What should we do now? Do we have to go back through the woods at night?”
It was okay since he did not feel it when he came. Now let him walk through the forest and return to the camp while awake, but Ou Yang did not dare.
“Stay here, and the beast will come.”
“Xu Santong” glanced at him: “I just sent out the distress signal. Now the people in the camp should have known that we are missing. I’m afraid we’re on our way. When we meet on the way, it’s safer than two people staying in this strange place.”
Ou Yang reluctantly approved his remarks. Indeed, this place was gloomy and felt unsafe.
No other way, Ou Yang still chose to follow “Xu Santong” back to the camp.
At a distance of twenty minutes near the forest, the two sides met.
“What happened?”
David looked at Ou Yang and Xu Santong inexplicably: “Isn’t now your turn to watch the night? Why did you run into the forest? Don’t you know how dangerous the forest is at night?”
If it were not for fear of being criticized, David would like to open the live room for everyone to see how annoying these two people were, not only useless but also dragging their feet.
However, Ou Yang and Xu Santong were not his main competitors. If Yan Chu and Gu Xihe did this, he might be willing to take the risk of live broadcasting.
“I don’t know. I was in the woods when I was awake.”
Ou Yang’s temper was also not good, but thinking that he indeed caused trouble for others this time, he could only suppress his impatience.
“I was put in the woods by Ou Yang, so I don’t even know what happened.”
“Xu Santong” waved his hand, then looked at Ou Yang and asked suspiciously, “Don’t you really think there’s something wrong with yourself?”
“What’s so strange?”
Ou Yang looked at Xu Santong irritably. He could not remember what had just happened, and he did not know whether what Xu Santong said was true or not. Maybe he wronged himself. It was actually the other party who brought him into the forest.
“I slept well in the tent, waiting for David to wake me up and change my shift. How could I know why I went to the forest?”
As soon as Ou Yang’s words came out, they attracted the surprised eyes of David and the others.
“Didn’t you already watch the night? We’ve already woken you up. At that time, Xu Santong stayed in the tent and didn’t come out, but you’ve changed your clothes and are ready?”
David and the others looked at Ou Yang. It really was this person who was sick.
“How could it be? I’m not sleeping?”
Ou Yang opened his mouth. He only remembered sleeping, not the scene that David and the others had dictated.
“Maybe it was you who sleepwalked and carried me into the woods.
“Xu Santong” defined this matter, and even Ou Yang could not refute it now. He wondered if he really had the problem of sleepwalking.
“Go back first. Yan Chu and Xiao Xing are still waiting for us in the camp.”
Gu Xixi glanced at “Xu Santong” and said to the crowd.
The gloomy forest was not a good place to chat. The group looked around vigilantly and ran towards the camp.
“Xiao Xing, why are you the only one?”
Only Sheng Xiaoxing was sitting by the bonfire, but Yan Chu was not there when they returned.
“I can do it alone. Big Brother Yan is very sleepy. I didn’t wake him up.”
Sheng Xiaoxing thought Big Brother Yan did not call her to wake up last night. Just now, she saw the sound of emergency contact fireworks sounding outside, but Yan Chu did not wake up, so she did not wake him up.
Everyone did not say anything. Anyway, it would be fine so long as there was someone to watch the night. Ou Yang disturbed their sweet dreams, and they were all anxious to go back to sleep.
Ou Yang did not mention that they did not keep a vigil before and should exchange with Sheng Xiaoxing at this time. He muttered back to his tent and was still thinking about his sleepwalking.
Sheng Xiaoxing sat beside the fire. After everyone entered their tents, “Xu Santong” pretended to be walking toward his tent. In fact, he ducked and entered Yan Chu and Sheng Xiaoxing’s tent. No one noticed this scene.
After entering the tent, “Xu Santong” fumbled in his ears, and he tore off a mask as thin as a cicada’s wings from his face. Wasn’t this Yan Chu who should be sleeping in a sleeping bag?
He put the “Countless Changes” into the system space, then opened his sleeping bag and dragged out the real Xu Santong, who ate the fruit that Ou Yang handed him at dinner and then fell asleep.
“Sorry, Brother Xu.”
He pushed the person out from the back of the tent. Tonight, he could only be wronged to spend the night like this. Fortunately, the clothes on everyone’s bodies were kept at a constant temperature, and there was no need to worry about the other party catching a cold. In this manner, he took the sky as a quilt and the ground as a mat. He was definitely uncomfortable.
After doing*24doing*from 干 [gàn] that can mean as to do or to f*ck (vulgar) all this, Yan Chu began to think about his experience this evening.
When they met the monkeys in the daytime, Ou Yang wanted to pull Xu Santong to run in the opposite direction. At that time, Yan Chu guessed that the people on this island might want to do something to them, and the first target was Xu Santong.
According to the original self’s life experience, everyone died one by one. Therefore, according to Yan Chu’s conjecture, there were not many living people on this island, perhaps one or several, and there was no intention of directly fighting them.
Especially after discovering the batch of xenobiotic flowers, Yan Chu felt that it was more likely that the person or those few people wanted to do experiments on them. The other party’s research on xenobiotic flowers should come to an end.
Now, Xu Santong was their first experimental target. Their reason for not taking Ou Yang as a test object since the beginning was they needed a person to act as his eyes and tool in the team.
Therefore, when everyone was busy, Yan Chu stuffed Xu Santong into his sleeping bag and then changed his appearance into Xu Santong with “Countless Changes” and strutted to sleep in the tents of Xu Santong and Ou Yang.
Along the way, he did not faint but secretly recorded the route Ou Yang took him and marked it carefully. After Ou Yang stopped, he knew that the place he was looking for had arrived, and there was something to come then.
If the strength of that person or those people was not strong enough, they must be afraid of the emergency signal he sent out and would not dare to come out. And if they came out to attack them without any hesitation, Yan Chu also had a backup plan.
There was an item in his storage compartment called Time Rewinder. It had similar archiving and file reading functions. After saving the time node, he could go back in time, and the effectiveness for a given time was within three hours.
Before that, he took out the Time Rewinder and set their departure time from the camp as the starting point. If everything went beyond expectations, he would start the Time Rewinder and return to the saved time when his life was in danger.
So long as he did not read the file, the Time Rewinder would have three chances to file and no longer be functional after three readings. Yan Chu bought this thing with a considerable sum of points. Of course, it should be used at a crucial time.
Speaking of which, Yan Chu had already used two products in this world. He was really reluctant to take out this Time Rewinder unless he had to.
Fortunately, everything was as he expected, the other party did not come out of the hidden room, and the Time Rewinder had two chances to save.
Two things were almost sure now. First was that the opponents they were going to deal with this time were not too strong in number or strength, or they had a restraining fear to deal with them.
Yan Chu guessed that the other party might be one or several fugitive criminals who wanted to leave this island. Among this group of people, there were experts in botany and genetics who had developed drugs for altering assimilation genes.
He thought, if this was the case, was it really the real Gu Xixi who left this island in his previous life?
Yan Chu breathed a long sigh of relief, and a cold sweat burst on his back.
