Hunting Wilderness: Starting with the Butcher

Chapter 160 Let's get it off our chests! How's your marksmanship?

Before leaving, under the watchful eyes of Son Ye-jin and the others, Yuan Linghan tied the unconscious Park Geun-woo to a coconut tree. With his hands crippled and one of his legs broken by Yuan Linghan, he wouldn't be able to escape when he woke up.

As for whether the pirates will take pity on Park Geun-woo and rescue him, that depends on his luck. At least Son Ye-jin and the others, knowing that Park Geun-woo deliberately lured the pirates there, wished he were dead immediately.

Previously, Son Ye-jin and others were worried that their decision to dismiss the expulsion captain might provoke resentment from some viewers. Now that Park Geun-woo is associating with pirates, viewers will only think their choice was incredibly wise.

Who wouldn't be afraid of having such a time bomb by their side?

Li Zhi'en, who was being carried on Yuan Linghan's back, didn't find Yuan Linghan, who had just finished killing pirates, to be particularly scary. On the contrary, she felt very safe lying on his back.

She could even see the envy in Yoona's eyes, as if she wished she could replace her!

Upon arriving near the site of the previously killed pirates, Yuan Linghan gave them instructions beforehand: "Ye-jin, Kim PD, no matter what you see, don't panic or be afraid. Just follow my lead and quickly move into the mountains."

"Yes, Captain Yuan!"

Only Lin Yoona, who was following behind Yuan Linghan, tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Oppa, what's up ahead?"

"It's nothing! Just a few dead bodies! If you're scared, just close your eyes and follow me."

"Ah? Oh, I see!"

As a popular idol, Lim Yoona considered herself well-informed, but she had never seen such a truly bloody scene before.

Even though she knew those pirates deserved to die, the sight of their corpses still had a significant visual impact on her.

In contrast, Li Zhi'en, who was clinging to Yuan Linghan's back, heard Yuan Linghan instruct, "Zhi'en, close your eyes, don't look!"

"Okay, Oppa!"

While instructing Lee Ji-eun, Yuan Linghan freed one hand and grabbed Lim Yoon-a, who was following behind him. Instead of feeling shy, Lim Yoon-a felt a warm glow in her heart as her slender hand was held.

"Yoona, stay close to me and don't look around. Once we get past this section, it will be safe."

"Okay, Oppa!"

When Kim Byung-man, Ma Dong-hee, and Son Ye-jin saw the pirate's body, which had stopped breathing and was lying near the mountain road, even though the smell of blood had been diluted by the rain, it was still visually striking.

Fortunately, there weren't many corpses near the mountain path; most of the pirate bodies had been thrown into the jungle beside the path by Yuan Linghan. Finally, after traversing the section with the corpses, Sun Yizhen and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

To Yuan Linghan's dismay, Son Ye-jin, who hadn't vomited upon seeing the corpse, suddenly vomited once they reached a safe area. Her vomiting not only caused trouble for Kim Byung-man and Ma Dong-hee, but also triggered a chain reaction.

After the three had finished venting, Yuan Linghan calmly said, "Let's continue on our way! Considering the situation with the pirates landing on the island earlier..."

Look, there should be two more groups of pirates going to capture the contestants from Japan and Siam.

If they manage to contact the two pirate groups I've dealt with along the way, they'll find out what happened to those two groups, and more pirates will likely arrive. Therefore, we must hurry and hide in the mountains first.

"Okay, I'm fine now, I can continue on my way."

Despite feeling nauseous, Son Ye-jin spoke sincerely, and Kim Byung-man and Ma Dong-hee didn't say anything more. The group bypassed the bamboo hut campsite and followed Yuan Linghan into the dense forest.

As Yuan Linghan had guessed, Jack, the pirate leader who was remotely directing operations from the program's camp, frequently had his men contact the four pirate squads that had landed on the island. Before long, two of the pirate squads sent back messages.

"Boss, we haven't seen anyone at either the Sakura or Siamese camps. And it's raining on the island, making tracking difficult. They've asked if we should go into the mountains to pursue them?"

Upon hearing this news, Jack's face darkened. "Damn it, it must be someone from the production team who tipped them off beforehand. I heard from Old Park that both teams have retired special forces instructors?"

"Yes, boss. But what about Old Park and the other team? Still no news?"

"No news? What do you mean? Haven't you contacted them?"

The underling, who was being questioned, quickly replied, "Boss, we tried contacting them, but Lao Pu and the others didn't answer. It's probably because the weather conditions are too bad, and they've gone into the mountains again, limiting the range of their walkie-talkies."

"Then keep in touch, or you can go ashore by boat yourself and contact them to inquire about the progress."

"Yes, boss!"

Even though the pirates responsible for making contact were reluctant to brave the rain to go to sea and land on the island, they dared not disobey Jack's orders.

Everyone knows who truly holds the power of life and death within this pirate gang.

When the liaison officer successfully landed on the island and attempted to contact Park Geun-woo and the other pirate team, he found that he still couldn't reach either team. Sensing something was wrong, he immediately led his men to search for them.

Shortly after, he found several of his accomplices shot dead near the beach. Upon seeing the bodies, his henchman immediately contacted Jack to report the situation.

"What? Say that again!"

"Boss, something's happened! Riva and the others who were with Old Park are all dead. Judging from the fatal wounds, they were shot by arrows."

Jack, the pirate leader stationed at the program's camp, instantly flew into a rage, shouting, "Killed by arrows? How is that possible! Where's Old Park? Is he dead? Have you seen his body?"

"Boss, we didn't find his body. Boss, do you think this could be a conspiracy?"

"What conspiracy? That kid instigated us to kidnap these people just to use someone else to do his dirty work. Whoever dares to kill my men in these waters is dead meat. I'm notifying the other two teams to rendezvous with you now."

Remember this: I don't care what methods you use or what price you pay, you must capture that damned archer. I will personally chop off his head and use it to atone for the deaths of our brothers.

"Yes, boss!"

As the other two pirate squads hastily retreated back to the beach to regroup, Yuan Linghan successfully led Sun Yizhen and the others to the cave where Liu Qianfei and the others were being housed. Hearing that Yuan Linghan had returned, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Sun Yizhen and the others brought back by Yuan Linghan, Liu Qianfei didn't say much, but still asked, "Captain, what's the situation outside now?"

"This is troublesome! The pirates know all of us, including the production crew, because they were brought here by Captain Park, who was previously expelled. However, we should be safe for now!"

After hearing Yuan Linghan's account, Wu Yue and the others found it hard to believe, and even wondered how the production team had chosen the guests, why they had made such a "wolf in the house" choice.

At this moment, Yuan Linghan led Wu Yue and Wu Jing to the side of the cave and asked softly, "Brother Yue, Brother Jing, you two must have handled guns before, right? How good are your marksmen?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue and Wu Jing's eyes lit up instantly. "Captain, you got a gun?"

"These were seized from the pirates! I'm going out later, so I think it'll be safer for you to leave two assault rifles here in the cave. Of course, you must make sure there are no accidental injuries!"

"Don't worry, we've all filmed military dramas before, and Ah Jing even trained in the special forces for half a year. As long as we have guns and bullets, I guarantee that even if pirates sneak over, Ah Jing and I will never let them get close to the cave."

After Wu Yue said those words, Yuan Linghan believed his promise. As for why he didn't give Jin Bingwan and Ma Dongxi weapons, it was because he felt it wasn't safe. He trusted his trusted friends more than outsiders!
