Chapter 262 - The 1st Airdrop! (1/2)

15 minutes later...

Felix and the rest had reached the open area that was just a field of ferns, wildflowers, and other herbaceous plants on the forest floor.

The area was big enough for the team to set up their tents in a circular shape around its center.

With the fir trees surrounding them, the camp would be getting some protection.

”This will do it for now.” Felix removed his backpack and unstrapped his black tent. He then went near the center and plucked those herbaceous plants to clear up his spot.

He threw them to the side as they weren't edible.

After doing so, he started setting up his tent alone while glancing from time to time at Olivia and the others doing the same.

This time no one brought a bigger tent, as they learned their lesson from their practice.

It was better to take only a one-person tent as it would be less exposed to damages if they got attacked.

Besides, in this competition, they expected to move a lot due to searching for flags or escaping from other teams.

This meant they would have a temporary camp once in a while. It was much faster to set up a single-person tent than the rest.

After a while, ten different colored tents could be seen placed down around a star-shaped campfire that wasn't turned on.

The woods were just prepared and left there.

They didn't want to start a fire when they weren't planning on cooking, or the visibility wasn't hindered.

After all, the last thing they wanted was to give away their hiding spot for no reason.

Inside the black tent, Felix was changing his clothes. He took off the skydiving suit and wore his team's uniform. He then folded the skydiving suit and placed it in his backpack for emergencies.

Next, he opened the tent's zipper and went to sit next to the boys, who were gathering around the campfire.

Just like him, all of them had changed into their team's outfit. Since the girls were nowhere to be seen, it was expected that they were still changing.

”What's today's plan?” Johnson looked at Felix as he asked, ”Are we going to carry out the same plan we made yesterday?”

”Yes, no need to change.” Felix agreed with a head nod.

”I guess we need to be moving then.” Kenny dusted his ass as he stood up. ”Let's go, Walton.”

”If you get lost, just notify me, and I will start a fire to give you our position.” Felix said.

Upon hearing so, they gave him a swift thump up before beginning to sprint in the direction where they came from.

Their target? The Parachutes!

That's right, their mission wasn't to scout for camps or such but to bring as many parachutes as they could!

After all, the cloth was a well-needed material in the wilderness, and it could be used on many occasions. Plus, they would have nothing to lose by having it within their set of limited items.

Meanwhile, the rest of the boys didn't remain in the camp but went hunting for their lunch, leaving only Felix behind with the girls.

However, the girls didn't just sit still like dolls but actually searched together for wild plants to enrich their food.

Although Felix didn't accompany them, he used his infrared vision once in a while to scout 500 meters around him for anything peculiar.

He didn't worry about having his infrared vision getting found out, as the red shimmer's intensity was lowered to barely noticeable due to his golden-pupil.

'Asna, you up?' Felix said eagerly, 'It's time for my daily enhancement.'

Every time he wakes up, he looks forward the most to starting his day with his affinity getting enhanced due to the euphoric feeling he receives.

Alas, his excitement was soon diminished after remembering that he was almost about to reach a 100% sand affinity rating.

He was currently sitting at 76% and needed only 24%, which meant he would stop taking them in eight days.

'Give me a minute.' Asna said in delight, 'I am kicking the old snake's ass in chess.'

'Oh?' Intrigued, Felix asked, 'You guys switched to chess?'

'How can I play Royalty with this cheating bastard?' Asna boasted, 'In chess, there is no dice or bullshit, just pure skill, and intelligence. He clearly lacks compared to m...'

'Checkmate little Asna.'

The moment Felix heard the Jörmungandr say so, silence abruptly descended in his mind, forcing the boastful Asna to shush down.

”Good game.” The Jörmungandr lifted a small notebook placed on the table they were playing on and opened it up. It was showing a long string of victories and losses.

He flipped to a middle page and wrote today's date down to the second, and next to it, he wrote >Chess's game, Jörmungandr's win#!_51574457822665848 for visiting.

Although it was just a checkmate, she could see clearly that her king had only one move to make, and it was useless.

”Again? Or you wanna play a different game?” The Jörmungandr asked while placing down the notebook.
