Chapter 152 – Caught
Wen Li weaved through the jungle, the speed of her feet did not decrease, and she ran forward desperately with all her strength.
The staff dressed as savages were also desperately chasing after Wen Li, the director gave notice that whoever could catch Wen Li and Zhang Xu, the bonus for this month would be doubled.
Encouraged by the material rewards, the staff’s fighting spirit.
They will try their best to catch them even if they have to break their legs.
The cause of the matter traces back to Wen Li dug a deep pit, wandering around looking for small prey, found that the director group to Zhang Xu assigned the designated task has problems, the director group arranged the wild man was originally scheduled to catch Zhou Lie, now afraid of things to be exposed, the director group had to catch up together with Wen Li.
So, while Wen Li is running away to avoid the pursuit of the savages, the other side of Zhang Xu is also in the wild pursuit of the savages.
Running from the end of the mountain to this end of the mountain, Wen Li gasped and leaned against the back of a thick tree trunk, she took out her cell phone from her pocket to record the journey at this point in time, so that later video editing.
“What position I’m at now I don’t know, I’ve been running for a long time, I don’t know if they’ve caught up yet?” She spoke under her breath as she turned the direction of her cell phone camera.
The image recorded in the direction of the cell phone camera was a dense jungle, as well as the cries of the savages that were far away and near, judging from the cell phone’s six times zoomed-in footage, the savages hadn’t caught up for the time being, and she was safe.
Wen Li’s heart stored a little fluke, she intends to rest in place to raise the spirit, and then find a hidden place to hide, the wild man lost her, a moment and a half certainly will not follow up.
Thinking this way, Wen Li leaned against the mossy thick tree trunk, reached out to wipe the sweat drops on both sides of her cheeks, exhaled fresh air, and gulped with some thirst.
The sound of “buzzing” kept ringing in her ears, Wen Li looked up, it was the sound of a drone.
In order to track and film the whereabouts of each guest, the director’s team had invested a lot of money in the filming equipment this time.
Where the drone was, Wen Li’s whereabouts were exposed, and in less than half a minute, the directing team reported Wen Li’s whereabouts to the staff dressed as savages.
This group of savages had already lost Wen Li in the neighborhood, with the help of the director’s team, undoubtedly is not speeding up their process of capturing Wen Li.
As a result, Wen Li was busy dodging the drone’s tracking while also trying to avoid the pursuit of the savages.
The intertwining roots and branches of the bushes made it easy to get scratched or tripped without paying attention, so Wen Li ran forward by breaking the branches with great force, concentrating on listening to which direction the wild man’s cries were coming from, so as to judge the location of the wild man.
Concentrate on the movement of the savage, a moment of inattention in front of an extra cane, people straight into it, Wen Li exclaimed and covered the red forehead, a little want to cry.
Taking advantage of the gap, the savages came forward to surround her, using the cane to tie her up solidly, escorting her in the direction of the tribe.
The voice of the wildlings cheering rose higher and higher, Wen Li wanted to die.
She is the one who is not good enough to do anything, right?
When Wen Li was caught by the savages and returned to the tribe, Zhang Xu was also there.
Only the two were treated differently, she was tied back by the savages, while Zhang Xu was free to walk back and forth.
Wen Li frequently cast a glance of inquiry, Zhang Xu could not ignore it even if he wanted to, he whispered, “I was also tied back by the savages, but I bribed their chief with what I had on me, and now I can walk around freely.”
“What does their chief look like?”
“I don’t know.”
The commotion emanating from the two men drew the attention of the savages outside the door, and a young-looking savage came over and interrupted their conversation, signaling his two companions behind him to escort the men to the chief’s council chamber.
The two men were escorted to kneel in front of the chief, the savage standing on the left side of the chief sternly bellowed, “Why don’t you two greet the chief when you see him?”
Wen Li raised her eyes and looked at the young man in the first seat, then closed her eyes in disbelief and opened them again, and after finally confirming that there was no mistake, she inclined her head and said quietly to Zhang Xu, “Brother Xu, do you also feel that the person in front of you looks very familiar?”
Zhang Xu immediately returned: “Not only familiar ah? Isn’t this that stupid kid Lu Cheng?”
The next second after saying that, Zhang Xu asked the young man in the upper seat with a puzzled look, “Lu Cheng, why are you here? And how come you’re their chief? Say did you betray us?”
Lu Cheng sits at the top seat, having the heart to answer Zhang Xu’s three questions, powerless to resist the threat of the savage on his left holding a dagger against his back.
He revealed a stiff smile, the bottom of his eyes helplessly conveying the message “I was forced”, according to the script given to him by the savage, reciting to the two people, “Daring, who told you to talk to me like this? Someone come, teach them a lesson.”
After Wen Li and Zhang Xu each received a brutal beating from the savage, Lu Cheng revealed a look of satisfaction and said with a rather serious stern face, “Say, why did you destroy our tribe’s holy relics.”
Zhang Xu sat on his knees, did not know what Lu Cheng was talking about, straight open two pairs of big eyes staring blankly at him.
The savage behind him had the good sense to give Zhang Xu a punch and threatened, “Our chief is asking you, you dare not answer? Are you looking for death?”
Wen Li’s elbow touched his arm and reminded in a low voice, “Brother Xu . Brother Xu, quickly return to your senses.”
Zhang Xu returned to his senses and cooperatively replied, “Ah yes? What is your tribe’s holy relic? Speak with evidence, you can’t just wrongly accuse people.”
The corner of Lu Cheng’s mouth twitched, knowing that Zhang Xu was playing dumb, he wasn’t in a hurry and continued to follow the plot, “Your little cloth bag is full of my tribe’s holy relics. Do you have anything to say?”
Zhang Xu intentionally avoided his inquiry, “Cheng, your assigned task is this? To be their leader? How about we switch? I also want to experience what it’s like to be the leader. Is it like I’m the only one in the spotlight?”
Lu Cheng looked like he was about to say something, the strength of the dagger against his back increased again, and he could only smile and cooperate with the savage’s performance, “That was supposed to be a holy object for my clan to pray for blessings, but you destroyed it along the way, so what crime should you be held responsible for?”
The savages in and out of the hall raised their spears in response, seeming to want Zhang Xu to give a statement, or else he would not be able to leave alive today.
Zhang Xu rubbed his knees, which were a bit sore from sitting on his knees for too long, and slowly opened his mouth, “The program team gave me the task of finding survival tools, it didn’t say anything about destroying your holy relics ah . Besides, I didn’t know it was your holy relics, you have to find the program team to reason about this.”
“You you’re still quite rampant, let me ask you if it’s you who took my clan’s holy relic and bribed my clan?”
Zhang Xu thought for a moment and returned, “It’s one thing, let me make it clear that I didn’t know beforehand that they were your clan’s holy relics, if I did I wouldn’t have taken them to bribe them.”
Lu Cheng’s eyes brought a touch of bad smile, improvised and changed the script, “Come on people, bring him down to me, grill the meat and eat it.”
Does the newly changed cover look good? Do you like it?
