Fortunately, this ti everyone showed restraint.
After all, everyone realized it wouldn’t pay off to start fighting now.
So, the team leaders stepped forward to ease the tension.
However, the loss had already occurred, and people wouldn’t just let it go easily.
The team leaders gathered together and began to search for who had stolen the items.
"It couldn’t have been us."
Matsui Reika from the Japan team was very upset. She had been stung by a hornet on her eye corner, and even though she had squeezed out the venom in ti, it was still badly swollen.
Matsui Reika continued, "We were all together last night; no one went out."
The leaders of the other teams said the sa.
Even if soone from their team did go out, they could only say no one went out.
Otherwise, they’d instantly beco the target.
Seeing that this line of questioning wasn’t getting anywhere, Matsui Reika imdiately said, "Do you think... could it have been Chen Wen and his group who did it last night?"
Chen Wen?
The team leaders’ eyes flickered, but none of them spoke.
Seeing this, Matsui Reika imdiately understood what they were thinking.
Currently, every team’s losses were severe, except for Chen Wen’s team which remained unscathed. Regardless of whether Chen Wen did it or not, they all had thoughts of weakening Chen Wen’s team.
Additionally, there was also the idea of trying to seize Chen Wen’s supplies to replenish their own losses.
Even those who had previously allied with Chen Wen were now entertaining such thoughts.
Matsui Reika caught on quickly and analyzed the situation thoroughly.
It was mainly because Chen Wen and his team had always remained in the dark, easily able to act against them without being noticed.
Moreover, up to this point, Chen Wen hadn’t suffered a single loss.
Finally, after a brief discussion, they reached a verbal agreent — confront Chen Wen!
If he really did it, they would team up to eliminate at least one or two mbers from his team.
If he didn’t do it, they’d still force Chen Wen to hand over so supplies to weaken him!
With this plan, the leaders gathered their teams and marched toward Chen Wen’s camp.
...
Morning.
With the call of a hawk, Adam jumped down swiftly from the tree where he stood watching the situation from a high point.
He said gravely, "Chen Wen, they’re really coming!"
"Heh, just as expected."
Chen Wen shook his head and said, "Don’t panic, just follow the plan."
"Hua Yun, hide!"
Hua Yun nodded, carrying his bow and arrows, and imdiately concealed himself in the grove.
With such an expert archer hidden in the shadows, the intimidation was akin to having a sniper rifle!
At the sa ti, Chen Wen instructed Fred to ready his weapon.
He himself also held a long spear, standing at the edge of the grove.
Waiting for the group to arrive.
A mont later.
The crowd arrived, dismounted from their cals, and stared at the four people standing at the edge of the grove.
Without giving them a chance to speak.
Chen Wen spoke first, "Gentlen, you’ve co here so fiercely, are you planning to team up and eliminate us?"
"Of course, eliminating us is within the rules, but you’ve got to think it through. Whoever makes the first move, our team will target their people. Even if we are eliminated, we won’t let that person have it easy!"
As he spoke, Chen Wen raised his long spear.
Looking at the spear shimring with cold light, and the burly Fred raising his axe.
And Adam and Dennis eyeing the group while squinting.
As well as Hua Yun, who was nowhere to be seen.
This group that ca in full force suddenly beca deflated.
For obvious reasons.
Anyone with a bit of sense knew that being hit by that spear would an a hole!
Without the montum, they naturally lost the confidence.
Oleg, who was familiar with Chen Wen, coughed dryly and stepped forward.
He smiled kindly and said, "We an no harm, this is the situation."
Oleg rolled up his sleeve, revealing a swollen bump on his arm, "Last night..."
He described last night’s events and the suspicions of the group as inoffensively as possible.
Hearing this.
Chen Wen and Adam beside him frowned, both feigning ignorance of last night’s events but showing anger at the suspicion.
Their acting was remarkable!
The mbers of various countries’ associations, observing this scene from behind screens, all marveled at their expressions.
The president of the United States association even sighed and said, "If the best actors in the United States are in WWE, and the next best are in Hollywood, then only those who’ve received acting training in WWE could match Chen Wen!"
This statent later spread, and during the subsequent survival events, it successfully made an impression on every contestant’s mind.
But that’s for later.
...
After listening to Oleg’s account, Chen Wen remained expressionless, "I sympathize with your situation, but Adam is here, Fred is here, and even Dennis from the Australian Survival Association is here. All of us from different associations can testify that we did not go to your camp to steal supplies last night."
Upon hearing this, Oleg looked at Fred.
Fred nodded seriously, affirming that Chen Wen was right, they indeed did not go to the camp to steal supplies.
Dennis also nodded at the Australian seed player, indicating that he could testify.
Although Adam didn’t look pleased, he exchanged a look with Hope.
This pretty much left the group with no options.
Oleg gave an apologetic smile to Chen Wen and said, "In that case, we must have disturbed you..."
Just as Oleg was about to give up and leave with his people.
Feng Zhong, under a signal from Matsui Reika, stepped forward and loudly said, "It’s not up to you to say whether you stole or not! Let us check to prove you’re in the clear!"
As soon as these words were uttered, Fred, who had been prepped by Chen Wen, imdiately glared at Feng Zhong, "That’s bullshit! If we say we didn’t steal, then we didn’t steal!"
Hearing this, Feng Zhong’s eyes lit up, "Hmph, why are you in such a rush? Guilty conscience? Or are you trying to cover up?"
Fred, hearing this, turned red with anger, looking as if he was about to make a move.
Seeing Fred’s reaction, even Oleg’s expression was filled with suspicion.
Fred, being an honest guy, couldn’t lie well, and Feng Zhong’s probing exposed that.
Oleg gave a forced grin and looked at Chen Wen, "Chen Wen, you see, I think Feng Zhong has a point too..."
"Heh, that traitor has no point at all!"
Chen Wen made no effort to hide his animosity towards Feng Zhong and said, "Gentlen, I have had conflicts with the Japan team and Feng Zhong, and I understand they’re looking to stir up trouble, but if others follow their lead, I won’t be accommodating."
Having said that, Chen Wen looked at Oleg, "Since you have doubts, I can let so of you inspect our camp, but if there’s nothing..."
He raised his long spear, and everyone nearby imdiately beca alert.
But Chen Wen rely pointed towards the Japan team, "Shouldn’t those who falsely accuse us suffer the consequences?"
After explaining what the consequences ant, the people from the other teams squinted their eyes.
This idea didn’t sound too bad!
If Chen Wen’s group was causing the chaos, they could get compensation from them.
But if not, pressuring the Japan team wasn’t a bad option!
After all, they eliminated two people and gained two more cals.
Slaughtering the two cals to share among everyone could compensate for the losses!
Moreover, the Japan team lacked external support and had quite a few enemies, so this was an opportunity!
Matsui Reika realized this too, just as she was about to speak.
The others quickly reached a consensus and said in unison, "Chen Wen is right, let’s do that!"
