Chapter 684: Chapter 26: Profiting Amidst Chaos

Starting point.

Chen Wen arrived near the Japanese team’s shelter.

He noticed the night watch was an unfamiliar Western competitor.

This person should be from the Australian Survival Association but joined the Japanese team.

Chen Wen silently apologized in his heart: Sorry, brother, don’t blame me, this is an area of effect, and it’s uncontrollable. If you get stung and withdraw from the game, don’t blame me.

After apologizing internally, Chen Wen placed the wasp queen on the north side of the Japanese team’s shelter as best he could.

This way, even if the wasps chase, the other players will have time to react.

After leaving the wasp queen behind, Chen Wen slicked his foot with oil and swiftly left.

He changed directions, arriving at the well near the starting point.

He turned on the faucet next to the well, washed his hands, then quietly left the starting point.

...

Five minutes later.

The Australian player on night watch heard some unusual sounds.

"What is this sound... is it some insect?"

The Australian player said, instinctively raising a torch to see what was making the sound.

Soon, under the illumination of the firelight.

He discovered a wasp hovering and dancing around the shelter.

"Wasp? How can there be wasps here?"

He looked at the wasp in surprise, never expecting to encounter it here.

No, it’s them.

As he approached with the torch, several more wasps appeared in his sight.

The Australian player didn’t react immediately.

If it were Dennis, he wouldn’t say he’d leave, but at the very least, he would be alert.

After all, wasps don’t usually appear in groups.

Once they gather, it often means there’s a problem here!

But this Australian player’s experience was not as good as Dennis’s, particularly in dealing with wasps.

It’s precisely this lack.

That triggered a chaos even more terrifying than last night at the starting point!

Seeing the Australian player approaching with the torch to see the situation more clearly.

The wasps following the queen became furious.

Alright, alright!

We’ve found the queen, and we originally weren’t planning to settle with you, the one who dismantled our home.

But you delivered yourself to us!

Fine!

The swarm was like a calm water surface suddenly hit by a bomb, exploding with a bang.

The number of pursuing wasps was small, only a fraction of the remaining wasps.

But the total count was still in the dozens!

These wasps flapped their wings, producing a dull buzzing sound.

In the Australian player’s screams, they began their assault!

"Ah! It hurts! What is this thing!"

The Australian player quickly swung the torch, fleeing while holding his head.

And the wasps followed, constantly launching fierce attacks on his exposed skin!

The Japanese team was the first to be startled.

Everyone thought someone was launching an attack, so they immediately rushed out of the shelter, intending to pull back and defend.

Feng Zhong was the first to rush out of the shelter.

According to the shift, Feng Zhong was the last on night duty, so he slept near the door.

After Feng Zhong rushed out, he collided head-on with the approaching Australian player.

Seeing the opponent’s strange posture and the surrounding buzzing sound.

The experienced Feng Zhong immediately understood the current situation.

He yelled, quickly lifting his jacket and wrapping it around his head.

And immediately fled around while loudly reminding everyone: "Attack! Wasp attack! Run!"

Despite Feng Zhong’s quick response and proper handling.

The wasps didn’t hold back.

Accompanied by Feng Zhong’s screams, these wasps left numerous wounds on his thighs and waist.

The rear.

The Japanese team heard Feng Zhong’s alert, and they immediately responded.

Using clothes to cover vital areas, they fled in all directions.

But the number of pursuing wasps was too many, and unless wearing protective suits, other response methods were limited in effectiveness.

In the screams of the Japanese team, each person was stung at least three to four times.

With the Japanese team scattering and fleeing, the wasp swarm also dispersed.

Some wasps even reached the vicinity of other teams’ camps.

Accompanied by strange cries, players from other camps also got hit.

Everyone wrapped their heads with clothes, fleeing from the starting point.

...

Far from the starting point.

Chen Wen looked at the chaotic starting point, his eyes showing a trace of lingering fear.

"Damn, luckily Dennis discovered the wasp queen issue in time and reminded me, otherwise tonight we would have been the unlucky ones."

He could have used his transformation, becoming a Crested Wasp-eagle to escape.

But the others would have been in trouble!

Given the number of wasps chasing the camp, each of them would have been stung dozens of times!

But now, at the starting point, each person only got stung five to six times on average.

And the most severe was the Japanese team.

The other teams were relatively okay.

Having just used the transformation entry, Chen Wen turned into a Snowy Owl, and under the concealment of [Disguise] utilized the night vision ability of the Snowy Owl for observation.

Currently, in the worst-hit Japanese team, at least two people have lost combat capability.

No one else from other teams has been knocked out for now.

As everyone fled to a distance, the wasps also followed them away from the starting point.

Seeing this scene, Chen Wen immediately sneaked towards the starting point.

He certainly wouldn’t engage in activities that harm others without benefiting himself; this trip was aimed at the Japanese team’s supplies and tools.

Meanwhile, Chen Wen also planned to take a look around the United States team’s area.

Stealthily heading to the starting point.

Chen Wen first observed, confirming no one was there, then immediately maximized the effect of [Pest Repellent].

And was ready to transform into a Crested Wasp-eagle.

After making full preparations, Chen Wen took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the Japanese team’s camp.

Along the way, Chen Wen saw some pursuing wasps. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

He carefully passed by the wasps, but the flying wasps weren’t particularly tense around Chen Wen.

Looks like the effect of [Pest Repellent] not only drives mosquitoes away, but also affects other insects.

Seeing this, Chen Wen felt much relieved.

He deftly bypassed the wasps, avoiding alarming them.

Then Chen Wen slipped into the Japanese team’s shelter.

"So many things!"

Looking at the Japanese team’s stock of food and various materials, Chen Wen’s eyes gleamed brightly.

Although the Japanese team took their weapons when startled by the wasps, their food, supplies, and tools were all left inside the shelter.

Chen Wen picked up the waterproof mat spread on the ground by the Japanese team, using it as a wrap.

Then quickly collected the Japanese team’s remaining supplies and tools.

When packing the supplies, Chen Wen didn’t even have time to identify what all these things were.

After filling most of the waterproof mat scatteringly.

Chen Wen activated [Giant Strength], carrying the supplies as he slipped away.
