Zongman: I can modify the status bar

As they walked, they suddenly found a very flat forest path, which was obviously built by the school. Yaohui groped forward along the direction of the path, because he was not sure whether he would meet other people on this path. Based on the principle of avoiding contact with others as much as possible, Yaohui did not go directly on this path, but swung over from the tree like a gorilla or monkey. Another advantage of doing this is that it is faster and saves effort.

Suddenly, Yaohui smelled a strange fragrance, and stopped on a relatively thick tree trunk, then concentrated and analyzed it carefully.

"It's the smell of perfume! Looks like someone has been here!"

Before he could react, Haruki became insecure because of his own thoughts. Looking at the traces of movement nearby and the lingering fragrance on the vines nearby, it was obvious that the owner of this smell also used the same exercise method as Haruki, otherwise this situation would not be possible. But then again, who would be as er as Haruki? And the other party would also have to have the same strong arm strength as Haruki.

Yaohui thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anyone who met this requirement.

Forget it, Yaohui thought about it, the lingering smell nearby is already very faint, it must have been a long time ago, it is better to continue moving forward, and judging from the direction of the smell, the other party does not seem to be heading in the direction of this path, so this should be considered a good thing,

Yaohui glanced at the time on his bracelet, "There's still time!"

Then continue moving forward.

……

Chapter 119 Abnormality of Class A

After a while, Yaohui arrived at the end of the forest path, which was the entrance to a cave formed by a large hole in the front part of the mountain. Although it did look like a naturally formed landform at first glance, if you look closely, the inside of the cave is a bit too regular. In other words, the traces of human intervention are a bit heavy.

"Could this also be a stronghold?" Yaohui speculated in his mind, but he was not in a hurry to go in to verify it. Instead, he concentrated his attention on the bushes beside the cave entrance, trying to see if there was any movement in the cave.

Yaohui didn't think that anyone who discovered such an obvious "good place" would let it go easily, so he didn't rule out the possibility that it had been occupied by someone. In order to avoid a head-on conflict with others, it would be better to be cautious.

After listening carefully to the noises coming from the cave for a while, Yaohui found that there were no suspicious sounds except the occasional sound of the wind. So he decided to go in and take a look!

Since ancient times, caves have been the ideal habitat for various animals, and they also serve an excellent function as human dwellings. If you were to use a cave as a base for a camp, it would undoubtedly offer an absolute geographical advantage: firstly, it's highly secluded, and secondly, it offers protection from the elements. The only thing you need to consider is food and water.

With this cave, the reliance on tents will be reduced, which will naturally save points and gain advantages.

Haruki entered the interior of the cave. It was very clean, and in one corner there was a capture point terminal device buried in the wall. At the top of the screen was "A" class, and a countdown was shown, which would end in six hours and thirty-five minutes.

This place has been occupied by Class A, and it was more than an hour ago.

Seeing this, Yaohui did not go any further. It had been so long, and the people in Class A would definitely not give up such a good geographical location. If you roughly calculate their moving speed, it is estimated that the large group of Class A will arrive here in less than half an hour.

So Haruki hurriedly exited the cave, silently memorizing the location in his mind. As soon as he exited the cave, Haruki realized the specialness of this place. Standing in the cave and looking along the path, he could actually see the beach directly by the sea. It seemed that he had been careless at the time. Perhaps the guys in Class A had already discovered this place when the cruise ship circled the island...

At this moment, Yaohui suddenly saw a group of unusual movements in the distance of the bottom lane. They were students! Yaohui did not stop and quickly climbed up a tree not far away and sat down.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long before the large group of Class A formed a long line and arrived at the cave, and they were actually carrying a lot of supplies?

Haruki roughly estimated that this was more than double the amount of supplies his Class B had just purchased! Although Ichinose had cut the procurement budget to account for the fact that they could be self-sufficient in food and make their own tents, meaning that the amount Class B had purchased was actually less than normal, there was definitely something wrong with the amount Class A had purchased; it was too much!

If the value estimate is correct, then Class A should not have even 100 S points left.

Haruki stared at the leader in front of the team, the bald guy - Katsuragi Kohei. What on earth is this guy up to?

After the main force completely entered the cave, Katsuragi Kohei teamed up with two other boys to make a curtain at the entrance of the cave, which was actually two pieces of rainproof cloth. Now, the situation inside could not be seen from the outside. Wow, he is worthy of being a conservative. Katsuragi Kohei is really cautious to death. It seems that the idea of ambushing nearby and spying on the opponent's [leader] is simply impossible to achieve.

Katsuragi Kohei carefully looked at the traces around the cave and only entered the cave with confidence after finding nothing unusual.

Haruki was very careful when he defecated and left no traces. He thought that this place might have been occupied by someone else. Seeing that there was no value in exploring here, Haruki left the tree.

Inside the cave.

"Mr. Katsuragi? What's wrong? You've been looking so sad since just now!" asked Yahiko Totsuka, the deputy beside the bald Katsuragi Kohei.

“Someone has been here.”

Kohei Katsuragi stared at the stronghold occupation device in front of him with a frown, which made Yahiko Totsuka nervous.

"What..." Realizing he was being too loud, Totsuka Yahiko quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice. "What? How could this happen? Didn't we check to see if there was anyone behind the bushes?"

"It should be that after we left, other classes also found this place, but left after discovering that this place had been occupied by us." Katsuragi Kohei thought, holding his chin.

"This...how did you find out?" Totsuka Yahiko was horrified, but at the same time, he admired Katsuragi Kohei even more.

Katsuragi Kohei did not say anything. He squatted down quietly, picked up a long red hair from his feet and handed it to Totsuka Yahiko.

"Who has long red hair? Do you have any idea?"

"I really don't have any impression of this. There are really no leaders of several classes with hair of this color." Totsuka Yahiko said, staring at the long hair.

"Well! Never mind, I'm probably just being overly suspicious. Let's go count the supplies first, then assign everyone's tasks and get to work!"

Katsuragi Kohei said to Totsuka Yahiko.

"Ah...that..." Yahiko Totsuka seemed to have something to say, but couldn't open his mouth.

"What's wrong? Why are you still hesitating when talking to me? If you have something to say, just say it and don't affect your work efficiency!" Katsuragi Kohei said in an old-fashioned manner.

"What's going on with these supplies? I've actually seen the price list, and the value of these extra supplies is conservatively estimated to be over a hundred S points. Why on earth would Class C give them to us? You..."

As Totsuka Yahiko spoke, he observed Katsuragi Kohei's expression, fearing that he would say something wrong and be scolded.

"Hmph, not bad. If you've figured it out to this extent with your observation and thinking skills, it's already quite good for you. You've made some progress compared to before. But this isn't a big secret. As my confidant in the class, you're still qualified to know the inside story! But..."

Katsuragi Kohei paused and looked at the other people who were packing up supplies inside the cave. He found that no one noticed their side, so he felt relieved and continued to explain to his little follower.

"Actually, it can't be said that all of this was given to us for free. How could that guy, Ryuen, be so kind? Rather than saying he gave it to us, it's more like we're keeping it for him."

"custody?"

……

Chapter 120 Playing Both Sides

At noon, the survival test began shortly.

"As long as we use black curtains to cover the cave and hide the supplies inside, we don't have to worry about other classes seeing them. But your idea is really bold!" Katsuragi Kohei looked at the long-haired man in front of him with admiration while holding a contract.

"I guess I won't take the exam arranged by the school according to the rules. I really hate studying hard!" Ryuen signed a contract with Katsuragi Kohei from Class A with confidence.

The content of the contract signed between Class C and Class A.

1. Class C needs to purchase supplies with a total value of 200 S points and transfer them to Class A.

2. Class C needs to find the [leader] of Class B and Class D and inform Class A of the information.

"I can't believe the boss's information if it's just empty talk!" Katsuragi Kohei, who was about to sign the contract, once again displayed his cautious nature. "I need to see a photo of the card key, or the card itself."

"Yeah! Okay! No problem!" Ryuuen agreed almost without hesitation. "But... if you doubt the alliance so much, how can the alliance be successful?"

"Hmph!" Katsuragi Kohei snorted, then signed his name on the contract.

"Then we'll act as agreed." Ryuuen confirmed again.

"Hmm!" Katsuragi Kōhei still had a condescending attitude. It was obvious that he had gained the advantage, but he still looked so arrogant, which made Ryuen very unhappy.

"Can you please stop being so pretentious? It's been rumored everywhere that you weren't elected for the student council!" Ryuuen said as he turned and left. "And I also know that the Sakayanagi faction has the upper hand in Class A!"

Hearing the ridicule towards Ryuen, Katsuragi Kōhei's previous pride instantly vanished, and his gnashing teeth revealed his unwillingness.

"Since we have the opportunity, we must make good use of it. You and I are the same!"

After saying goodbye, Ryuuen called over his two trusted confidants, Ibuki Mio and Kaneda Satoru, and beat them up with a few punches and kicks before driving them away. He then asked them to be embedded in Class D and Class B as spies.

……

In the forest, Haruki is still exploring. The locations of the strongholds in a fan-shaped area centered on Class B's stronghold have been memorized by Haruki.

Yaohui looked at the bracelet on his hand. This was a bracelet issued by the school to each student. He knew that he had to wear it on his wrist for a week until the end of the exam. He was not allowed to take it off during the exam. If he took it off without permission, he would be severely punished. Functionally, this bracelet could not only confirm the time, but also had body temperature detection, pulse or human motion sensors, and a satellite positioning system.

In fact, here it has the same function as an ordinary sports bracelet, and it feels not as good as...

In addition, just in case, the watch also has an emergency alarm function that can notify the school of an emergency. In case of an emergency, just press the button to transmit your location information to the school's monitoring system.

It is said to be an emergency, but in fact it is more about the students' physical health problems. It is impossible for them to encounter large wild beasts in the wild. Yaohui has confirmed that although this place is called an "uninhabited island", it has been carefully checked by the school and even some regulations have been made. No matter how harsh the environment is, it is much better than the real wilderness.

Safety issues are almost non-existent.

Besides, why would the fire department take the risk of putting students in danger?

"There's still time left, but I'm not in the mood anymore!" Yaohui was running very fast, so there was still time left before the return time he had set in advance, but because he was hungry, he had no mood to continue exploring.

Then Haruki found a big tree to rest on, leaned against the trunk to take a short rest, and took out the walkie-talkie that Arisu Sakayanagi gave him.

Although there are some differences in the model, it is basically the same structure as the one that Arisu Sakayana had practiced for him at that time.

Yaohui gently turned the knob at the top right corner of the walkie-talkie. This position integrates the switch and volume, that is, as you turn it, the walkie-talkie will be turned on, and if you continue to turn it, the sound will become louder and louder.

The basic configuration on the screen above has been adjusted, and Yaohui turned on the reception.

"Hello? Did you finally open it? I was worried you'd forgotten how to use it! Over!"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the intercom. Although the sound quality was a little degraded, at least I could tell who was on the other end.

Because the walkie-talkie can only transmit signals in one direction, that is, you can only listen when someone is talking, and you can only speak after the other person has finished speaking, and the other person then listens. So after hearing Arisu Sakayanagi's "over", Haruki also turned on the microphone.

"Got it. I just finished exploring the area. Do you have any important intelligence you need to report to me? Over!"

"Got it! Oh my! You're such a jerk! You're so serious right off the bat. Don't you even want to chat with me for a few more minutes? Over!"

"Got it! I'm busy right now, so this might be a little more complicated than I thought. Over!"

"Got it! Then I won't keep you in suspense. Ryuuen from Class C has already cooperated with me. Over!"

"Got it! What do you mean? Will he do anything? Over!"

……

Arisu Sakayanagi briefly explained the situation of Ryuuen over the radio. Although there were doubts about that guy's cooperation and he had also reached some kind of agreement with Kōhei Katsuragi from Class A, it was very likely that he was playing both sides.

Of course, none of this has much to do with Haruki. The most important thing is that Ryuuen has already eliminated the spies from Class B and Class D, and the other party's identity is still unknown. However, it is rare for Arisu Sakayanagi to obtain so much intelligence information on the ship. It seems that the Sakayanagi faction of Class A has indeed gained an absolute advantage as rumored. If Arisu Sakayanagi could not participate, it is estimated that Katsuragi Kōhei would not have the opportunity to take the lead in this operation.

In other words, this special test may be Katsuragi Kōhei's only chance, and also the only chance for the Katsuragi faction. If he messes up this exam, it will also mean that the Katsuragi faction has completely lost its influence in Class A, and Class A will be dominated by the Sakayanagi faction in the future!

And the next person to greet them is the complete form of Sakayanagi Arisu, and Class A will become Haruki's property.

As for Class D, things are a bit chaotic. Even though Haruki has taken down several key figures, there is still no way to guarantee that Class D can be completely under his control. However, after weighing the pros and cons, this is the only way.

The only class that has not been involved is Class C. It seems that the main target this time should be on that arrogant boy. It can be seen from the looks of it that the other party is not an easy person to deal with.

Long Yuan is good at making trouble!

……

Chapter 121: Spy Attack

"Hmm... that's about it. I'm also busy here, busy trying to bring down that idiot Katsuragi Kōhei..."

"Okay, let's contact each other sometime. Over!"

Haruki turned off the intercom and started heading towards the Class B base. Along the way, Haruki was thinking about whether it would really work for Ryuen from Class C to send out spies.

No one would be stupid enough to let students from other classes come to their class’s camp to take an exam!

No way! No way!

But when Haruki arrived at the Class B camp, he realized that he was too naive.

Seeing a strange face coming to the camp and helping out everywhere, Haruki really slapped himself in the mouth!

"I'm so stupid, really, I really took it for granted!" Yaohui really underestimated the kindness of these classmates. This was different from what they had agreed. How could a society that should be very indifferent produce such a group of people!

Besides, in principle, there is no need to accept people from other classes!

Seeing Haruki's returning figure, Ichinose, Kanzaki Ryuji, Shibata Sa and other people with more influence gathered around.

"How is it, Haruki-kun! Is the exploration going smoothly? It doesn't matter if we don't find any valuable information. We can all set off together tomorrow. The efficiency will be higher if there are more people." Shibata Sa looked at Haruki with great anticipation.

"Yeah! Let's stop here for today. Everyone is waiting for you to come back for dinner!"

"Well... let's not talk about eating for now. What's going on with that guy?" Yaohui asked, pointing at the boy with glasses who was helping to add firewood.

"Oh? You're talking about him! His name is Kinda Satoru, a classmate of Class C. He was abandoned because he disobeyed Ryuuen's orders. Everyone felt sorry for him, so they took him in." Shibata Sa said as he came to Haruki and helped him remove the leaves and plant tissues that were stuck on his body while he was walking through the forest, completely unaware of Haruki's increasingly ugly expression.

Seeing that something was not right, Ichinose and Kanzaki Ryuji quickly pulled Haruki aside, leaving the others standing there with confused looks on their faces.

"What? Do you two have anything to say?" Yaohui originally thought that even if these people were not very smart, they would not fall for such a simple trick. They were really stupid.

"Actually, I also think this guy has problems, but everyone in the class believes that classmates should help each other, so most people want to take him in. You know, the situation in our class is not as unbreakable as it seems, and sometimes I can't influence public opinion..." Ichinose showed a very embarrassed look.

However, what Ichinose said was indeed true. When the classes were just divided, Class B was actually falling apart and did not look like a whole class at all. The homeroom teacher, Hoshinomiya Chie, was even more troubled and finally even planned to give up on them. But in the end, Ichinose took action. Although it was still a little short of perfection to some extent, with the support of the homeroom teacher, he barely completed the class integration work, which led to the beautiful family we have today.

Although everything seems calm on the surface, there are actually undercurrents. Since yesterday when the election for the "leader" was held, Yaohui has been very sure that these students who look like good guys are not easy to deal with.

"Actually, there's no need to be too pessimistic. According to this Kaneda Satoru, Ryuuen from Class C doesn't seem to have any intention of participating in this test properly. He spent all the S points allocated to the class on having fun. Class C should be barbecuing and having fun on the beach right now." Kanzaki Ryuji whispered to Haruki.

"Okay, I have a general understanding of the situation. Let's eat first..." Yaohui did not bring up this issue directly when he returned, but ate first. This was a big deal. He had been busy outside for most of the day and could not let his stomach suffer.

In addition to the various seafood that Shibata Sa brought from the sea, there were also wild fruits collected by some female classmates, and a large pot of mushroom soup. The basic nutrients were almost enough. Seafood was used to supplement protein, while fruits were used to supplement sugar. Mushroom soup could be used as a way to replenish water, so there was no need for additional food for the time being.

Dinner was quickly finished, and it was time for evening roll call. Hoshinomiya Chie was finally not late this time, and she jogged all the way to Class B's camp.

All members of Class B are present, and there are no points deducted.
