Chapter 23 Crazy Murder

As early as Alex discovered Ballins' surprise, Chen An, who was sleeping in the tent, woke up immediately because no matter how tired or sleepy his body was, he could not sleep soundly like mud in a dangerous environment, so as not to be unable to take precautions immediately after an unexpected situation.

It turned out that his concerns were right, but I didn't expect that someone would really track their whereabouts while he was resting.

Hiding in a tent that was covered tightly like a tomb, Chen An heard the conversation between Alex and Ballins clearly, and thus learned that the person who was following was actually the senior of the God-fellowed Alex, and the other party's words also indicated that this action was not his alone, and the other party's remaining companions who had not yet appeared were definitely wandering around the jungle maze.

The battle between the two began in an instant. Chen An, who was huddled in the tent, calmed down and did not dare to breathe for a moment, fearing that his abnormal movement would cause Alex to be distracted in the battle. At the same time, he was extremely worried about Alex's situation. If Alex was defeated, he would not be able to escape death.

The battle came quickly and ended quickly. From the sound of the fight, it was obvious that Alex was always at the disadvantage of being passively beaten. Until Alex suddenly fell near the tent, Chen An almost couldn't control himself and rushed out, but reason told him that even if he rushed out of the tent, it would be useless, because he could not defeat the enemy that Alex could not defeat.

Listening to Alex's crying and begging for mercy, the enemy's cruel and cruel decision, at this moment, Chen An, who was wise in a hurry, suddenly thought of a solution, and then he broke through the tent and rushed out desperately, hugged the enemy close at hand, and shouted that Alex would kill the other party.

If Alex had been slower than the other party's reaction, then they would have been the ones who died.

Perhaps it was the favor of the goddess of luck, but Chen An and the others won by chance.

"Alex, are you okay?"

Chen An, who learned about the death of Ballins, gradually let go of his hands holding each other tightly. He sat on the ground, gasping for breath, and his heart was still so nervous that it was difficult to calm down.

"I...I..."

As soon as Alex pulled out the dagger that stabbed Ballins's eye socket, he immediately fell to the ground, so weak that he couldn't even speak.

"Alex...I think we finally have no escape this time."

Chen An looked at the corpse that Balins fell down in front of him, and a bitter smile appeared on his pale face.

"...No, we can give up if we can't... If we don't leave now...Nored and the others will catch up with us, we will really have no way to survive." Alex gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up and said.

"I..." Looking at Alex's stubborn appearance, Chen An took a deep breath, and silently stood up and walked towards the cracked tent without caring about his soreness. "I'll pack up my backpack and luggage."

Alex slowly walked to the point of death and squatted down in front of Balins, and without saying a word, he took the short knife in his hand for himself, while groping up and down for the useful things on the corpse.

"An! Please bring the rags in the tent." He suddenly said.

Chen An didn't ask the reason, and pulled the tent cloth off and threw it to Alex not far away.

Alex took the tent cloth and was about to cover the tent cloth on the body of Ballins when he suddenly moved his ears, turned his head and looked in a direction in the jungle maze.

"Alex? What's wrong?" Chen An asked immediately after he noticed the strangeness.

"Shh--"

Alex put his fingers to his lips and gestured, then continued to be vigilant as if observing and listening to something.

Seeing this, Chen An calmed down and felt the movements around him.

After a while, he seemed to hear the sound of the wind and the sound of insects.

"No! This is a signal of the team's messaging gathering. Someone is coming!"

As the strange sound became closer, Alex's expression changed drastically.

"Hmm?! What the hell is going on?"

Chen An asked nervously subconsciously.

"Thanks to Ballins told me that the team I followed before would use some voices as signals for teammates to not attract the attention of monsters during the action. The sound we heard just now was a call signal for the rest of the team to contact Ballins!" Alex said quickly. "No! We can't take it any longer, leave here quickly!"

"If you leave now, it's probably too late." Chen Anyao whispered at the source of the sound.

"...Yes!" Even if Alex is reluctant to admit it, he can't help but dismiss the fact.

"Alex, can you disguise yourself as he looks?" Chen An suddenly pointed his hand at the corpse of Ballins on the ground and said.

"It's a little difficult, but it's not impossible." Alex said.

"Very good. Now you immediately took off his clothes and changed it to yourself, and then covered his body with a tent cloth. You turned into his appearance and fell to the ground with serious injuries. If the other party's companion approached you... you wait for an opportunity to kill him!" Chen An said resolutely.

"This..." Alex really didn't expect that Chen An would actually plan to face the predicament in such an extremely risky way.

"There is nothing. Since they all want us to die, we don't need to have any scruples. We will solve them at all costs for the guys who hinder our lives!" Chen An, who said this, seemed to be greatly stimulated, and his crazy style was completely contrary to his original character.

"What if there is more than one person? And as long as someone lifts up the tent cloth, will we be exposed?" Alex stared at Chen Andao, who is completely different.

"Then set fire to his body!" Chen An immediately said to himself.

"But..." Alex's heart trembled, and he still tried to dispel Chen An's extreme thoughts.

"Don't say it anymore! This is the only way we can survive!" Chen An rudely interrupted what Alex wanted to say, and then quickly walked to his side. "Give me your dagger."

Alex handed his dagger to Chen An unknown reason, and then he picked up the dagger and stabbed him hard at the heart of Balins' corpse on the ground.

"An! What are you doing?!"

"Use his blood to pretend to be unconscious and die." Chen An endured the discomfort and reached out to squeeze the blood that kept flowing out of the wounds of Ballins' heart, and began to apply the blood stained in his hands to his neck and clothes.

"Why are you still standing there? Use his blood to make a disguise of bleeding and serious injury for yourself." Seeing Alex looking at him in a daze, Chen An said angrily.

"I...I get it."

Alex felt that it was difficult for him to change Chen An's decision, so he could only act helplessly.

After doing all the disguises, Chen An took out the flint and lit the tent cloth covering Balins's body. He walked slowly to the distance and lay down on his body facing the ground.

"Alex, it all depends on your fraudulent acting."

After saying that, he slowed down his breathing and remained motionless.

“…”

At this point, Alex's thinking was completely confused. He felt like a puppet in the hands of a puppet master. He did whatever Chen An asked him to do. He had no autonomy at all. He didn't know whether this matter was good or bad, but now he had no choice.

Looking at the burning flames on the body of Balins beside him, a charred and unpleasant smell of human flesh was scattered in the air. He didn't have much fear when he killed Balins, but now he was afraid of the body.

He left the body a little further away and lay down, but his eyes were staring at Chen An who was pretending to be unconscious in the distance. No one knew what he was thinking.

“Ballings?!”

Until a familiar voice sounded from a distance, Alex, disguised as Ballins, immediately heard that the master of the voice was Norred, the captain of the team he had been following.

"Captain...it's me..."

Alex looked in the voice, and after seeing Norred alone, he couldn't help but scream "weak", while wondering, is he the only one here?

"Ballings?! What's going on?"

Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Nored immediately rushed up and asked after discovering "Barlins".

"I...I was behind Alex and the others... I accidentally discovered it... and then I couldn't help but plan to capture them... But... but... I didn't expect Alex to grow so strong... I was seriously injured if I accidentally..."

Alex's heartbeat immediately after he came to Norred. During the explanation, he kept thinking about the countermeasures of sneak attacks and killing Norred.

"Didn't I warn you not to be impulsive?" Nored couldn't help but angrily after hearing this.

"Haha... Captain... You know my personality... Such a good opportunity, what if they are let go?" After saying that, Alex suddenly spit out blood.

"Ballings! You..."

Seeing this, Norred immediately picked up Ballins on the ground. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the short knife in Alex's hand suddenly stabbed Norred's head. Before Norred could react, the short knife had already penetrated his head.

"Captain Norred...sorry..."

Alex's face gradually changed back to its original appearance under Norred's disbelief gaze, and the fire of life in his eyes was completely extinguished.

"Kitt... your premonition is indeed true."

Pushing away Nored who had fallen on his body, Alex sat on the ground and gasped. He stared blankly at the short knife that killed the other party in his hand, as if everything was like a dream.
