Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Is There Such a Good Thing?!

"[What’s going on?]"

"[What happened, why is Team G causing a commotion?]"

"[In a nutshell, someone raided Team G’s camp in the middle of last night, and all their supplies are gone.]"

"[Damn, who did it? That’s pretty bold, isn’t it?]"

Yu Li also frowned and said, "I slept too deeply last night, completely unaware of any disturbance. That indicates that those people must have come prepared."

Jiang Li fell silent as well.

They hadn’t eaten much the entire day before, and had covered a lot of ground, burning through too much energy, which is why everyone slept so deeply.

But their location was completely hidden, so who could have known about their situation so precisely, and slipped into their tents to steal everything without anyone noticing?

Guan Xiong had nothing to say.

After all, Nina was a victim too.

"This can’t be that simple, can it?" Jiang Li suddenly spoke up, "Don’t you find it strange?"

"Strange? What do you mean?" Guan Xiong asked.

"If these people were slick enough to steal all our supplies without anyone noticing, why didn’t they just take our watches as well? Wouldn’t they have gained more?"

Guan Xiong had a realization.

There was some logic to that.

Nina’s expression changed, and she snorted disdainfully, "Do you think everyone is an idiot? Watches are worn close to the body. One careless move could easily wake someone up. Why take such a huge risk?"

Guan Xiong nodded in agreement.

"Nina makes sense."

Jiang Li smiled and looked at her, "Then why is your watch still on? Weren’t you knocked out at the time? Why didn’t they take the opportunity to eliminate you?" freēwebnovel.com

"I..." Nina choked up, flinging her hands, "How would I know? Maybe they didn’t want to escalate things. After all, if I had been eliminated, anyone gaining points would be immediately obvious."

"But what about you..." Nina narrowed her eyes, suddenly fixing her gaze on her, "Why are you making excuses for these people right off the bat? Could it be that you are involved in this?"

Pan Xing suddenly slapped his hand as if he’d had an epiphany.

"I don’t know if you remember, but Miss Jiang’s brother Jiang Yan has approached us before. Could it be..."

As he spoke, he cast a suspicious look toward Jiang Li.

Once the seed of suspicion was planted, it grew unrestrained.

And then, even Guan Xiong was frowning at Jiang Li.

"This wouldn’t really have something to do with your brother, would it?"

"[How has suspicion fallen on Sister Li?]"

"[Actually, it’s pretty plausible, considering their watches can communicate.]"

"[Isn’t this supposed to be Wilderness Survival? How did it turn into a mystery variety show?]"

Jiang Li’s face grew cold, "This has nothing to do with me."

Nina sniffed, crossing her arms over her chest, "Just because you say it’s not related, it isn’t? Jiang Yan is your own brother, of course you’d cover for him. If you ask me, you must have conspired in advance to carry off our supplies together, working both inside and out!"

Jiang Li found it almost laughable, "Then may I ask, what would my purpose be in doing that?"

"I..." Nina bit her lip, "Who knows what your motive is? Maybe you want your brother to win, after all, if he wins, you benefit too!"

Her rationale was so convincing that Guan Xiong changed his expression right then and there.

"Jiang Li, I never thought you were that kind of person."

Nina was right; she wasn’t so innocent after all.

"You can’t just condemn Jiang Li based on speculation," Yu Li chimed in, "This seems a bit too much like bullying."

"Brother," Nina retorted, "We worked hard for our supplies and now they’re gone. Who is the bully here?!"

"I believe Jiang Li. This matter should have nothing to do with her."

"You trust her so much, what’s your relationship with her?"

Yu Li remained silent, his expression chilling.

"Lady Nina, please watch your wording. Jiang Xiao and I have a clean and simple friendship."

The scene grew eerily quiet for a moment, the tension palpable.

Until Zheng Xun’s voice resonated through everyone’s watches—

"Hello everyone, how did you spend your last day?"

"Ah, I see some people have left us, some people are doing quite well, but others... tsk tsk."

"[He’s here, he’s come with the grim reaper in tow.]"

"[Such a debt to owe, if I were a guest, I would want to tear Director Zheng apart right now.]"

"[Feels like the biggest challenge of this survival show is figuring out what’s up with Director Zheng...]"

"In view of the fact that a few guests have been eliminated, and now there is an inequality in team resources, the production team has urgently activated a substitute guest plan. A speedboat carrying eleven substitute guests is already on its way here, and I believe you’ll be seeing them before long!"

Everyone was flabbergasted.

Substitute guests?

There were even substitutes?

And eleven of them?!

Wouldn’t that make the competition even tougher?!

"These eleven guests vary in skill; it’s up to you to see if you can recruit them. Teams with fewer members will need to work hard."

Hearing this, Ji Yanbai’s eyes darkened.

This was undoubtedly good news for him.

He had been worried the day before that being down a member would leave his team vulnerable to other teams, especially since Team B wasn’t far behind in points, and they were closing in on them.

But Director Zheng announced a new rule.

It seemed he needed to secure newcomers.

...

"Additionally, apart from the new guests, the exchange shop has also been updated," Zheng Xun’s voice continued to spread across the broadcast, "Now you can not only exchange points for supplies, but also supplies for points."

This rule, which sounded like a tongue twister, confused most people until Zheng Xun explained:

"There are many resources on Dragon Ridge Island yet to be exploited. The deeper you go, the richer the resources. You may find treasures along the way, such as medicinal herbs, animal skins, etc., which can be exchanged for a wealth of points to get what you need."

The guests started to cheer.

There was such a stroke of luck?!

That meant they could still earn points by finding resources without attacking other teams!

Great, King Zheng finally did something decent.

"Lastly, the communication function of the watches will be disabled from today, and the GPS function will be enabled. Only the attacking party will have three chances to activate the GPS signal."

"A new day has begun; I hope everyone keeps up the good work!"

After turning off the broadcast, Director Zheng, beside the monitor, revealed a cunning smile.

They must think he was giving them another benefit.

Little did they know, the more enticing things appeared, the greater the dangers lurking behind them.

After all, the island still harbored many unknown perils waiting for them....
