"You haven't even been in the water for ten minutes!!!" Austin exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, "My God, we never expected to catch such a big fish!"

Mario's expression was also very surprised, and I could feel his eyes flashing and looking at me again. Then he laughed and said, "Thank you, Brian! It looks like our tribe won't be hungry in the future. You know, Austin and I didn't even put on the bait."

As Austin took the harpoon from my hand to take the big fish and put it in the net, I rested my arms on the edge of the boat and tapped my feet lightly under the sea.

"You look like some of those mermaids from Pirates of the Caribbean who drag sailors to the bottom of the ocean," Austin quipped as he handed the harpoon back.

"After Poseidon Oz in the thirteenth season, will our tribe have a siren?" Throwing the fishing line with the bait into the sea, Mario also smiled.

I took the harpoon and swam slowly backwards under the camera of the photographer on the boat. "For the tribe, my honor." I raised the harpoon in my hand with a smile and sank back to the sea.

This day's fishing harvest was rich. We caught three big fish and six small fish within two hours. Because the big fish in the shallow sea are basically swimming on the bottom of the sea, the three big fish are actually my masterpieces. After I was exhausted, I went back to the boat to rest.

After a full night of food and drink, the next day was an immunity contest.

"I heard that the Beautiful Tribe had a big meal yesterday?" Jeff said at the opening time before the game. "And you gave Brian the nickname Siren?"

Before I could think about what to do, Carmelita hurriedly said, "Brian is so amazing! I heard from Mario and Austin that he would cross the water less than ten minutes after he was in the water. A big fish came up! It's as long as my arm!"

She acted as if she had a good relationship with me, I didn't say anything, just waved my hand with a slight smile on my face and said, "Before I came here, I studied hard so that I could eat and eat. A lot of things. Mario and the others also caught a lot of fish."

"It's amazing," Jeff nodded with a smile, turned his head and asked the Wisdom Tribe who won the second prize in the reward competition yesterday: "Wisdom Tribe, how are you? Did you also eat a big meal? "

After feeling the focus of everyone's attention shifted from me, I was relieved and turned to look at Rhett's side. I saw that the atmosphere of the Wisdom Tribe was not very good.

Lawyer Casey said, "No... Our tribe is obviously not good at fishing, so we can only eat rice. Fortunately, it is only the fourth day, and the rice is not tired." She spread her hands without smiling.

"Okay, then let's play the second Tribal Immunity Contest now!" Jeff smiled and began to slowly explain the rules of the game.

Similar to the first competition, there is no favoritism for women and wisdom tribes in the bonus competition. The Power Tribe, which had lost face in the bonus round, took the first place this time. The Beauty Tribe followed and took second place.

The Wisdom Tribe that once again lost the tribal immunity, everyone's face is like a concubine. Rhett cast his eyes on me pitifully. Apparently he remembered the night before yesterday on a lonely island alone with a photographer, an absolute hellish punishment.

I also gave an apologetic look, because the beautiful tribe that won the second place this time couldn't decide who to send to the island of exile. At Jeff's request, after the Power Tribe discussed, they decided to choose Red.

"Regardless of whether he got the statue of hidden immunity in the last trip to the island of exile, choosing him this time is also to narrow the scope of those who may get the statue of hidden immunity." Policewoman Sandra stood up after the discussion. said.

Reid said nothing with a bitter face, nodded to the people in the wisdom tribe, and walked out. When passing by me, I took the opportunity to say, "I'm sorry brother, I chose you last time. I'll lend you this pot of water for the time being. I saw that you drank a lot in the game just now." I held up my The kettle was handed to him.

Because nothing has changed in the Beauty Tribe, of course there is nothing in the kettle. But Rhett immediately understood what I meant. He took the water bottle and held it in his hand, but said on his mouth, "No need, if you give me your water bottle, what will you drink when you go back?" Then he He shook the kettle again and handed it back.

This time, the cloth bag next to the water bottle naturally already contained the latest information about their tribe.

I took it with confidence, but just as I put the kettle back in my hand, I felt a real gaze. My body froze, and I cautiously looked out of the corner of my eye at Jeff, who was talking to the director, and the camera crew. Nobody, nobody looked this way.

So the contestants? Someone spotted me and Rhett's little moves

I was walking around the contestants again, and I caught Dillon Sago's eyes! Damn, how did I forget there's a veteran here who likes to watch his opponents carefully? !

"Hi, Brian. Cooperation?" I saw him wink at me and lip-mouthed silently. Then I saw his hand beside his leg make several gestures, which are traditional combat gestures of the army, indicating double attack.

A cold sweat broke out on my forehead. The last time he took the initiative to say hello to me in an incentive match, I thought it was weird. Why does a man who believes that silence is golden suddenly shows the desire to socialize? Feelings are what he discovered when Rhett and I exchanged messages for the first time.

I thought Dillon would be a traditional soldier with one brain and no flexibility. Who knows that this man is indeed a traditional soldier, but he is a senior officer who has brains and is good at commanding troop operations.

I stared blankly at him for a few seconds before replying with my lips: "Let me go back and think about it." My subordinate made a small combat gesture representing an ambush, indicating that he should keep this secret. .

"You played a spy war on the reality show, it's a good idea." I saw a smile in the corner of his eyes, and slowed down the silent speech in his mouth, just so that I could say what he wanted to say by reading The lips were read clearly.

OK, good. After returning to the tribe, I fell irritably on the "bed" under the shelter shed and didn't want to move. When Dillon discovered me and Rhett's little actions, it was completely beyond my expectations. It can be said that Rhett and I have a handle on his hand.

If he told the program team, the more serious treatment could be to let Reid and me retire directly. And if he told the power tribe about his alliance, then after entering the merger I want to have a secret alliance plan with Rhett, it's over. With such a scheming performance at the beginning, no matter who in the tribes of me and Rhett would not be vigilant and want to get rid of us in advance

"Brian, what's the matter with you?" Anna asked after picking up the firewood and seeing me lying on the bed sluggishly.

"It's okay." I propped up the bed with my hands and sat up. "What about Mario and the others? Going to sea again?"

"Yes, they looked like you were out of strength, so the two of them decided to go out to fish by themselves." Anna squatted beside and replied, throwing the branches into the fire and setting it up a little bit.

"It looks like it's going to rain today." I looked up to see that it was still afternoon, and the sky became overcast. "I'll go pick some coconuts."

This is of course an excuse. Although I really don't want to rest after doing nothing, my real purpose is to find a place where no one else is, and take a good look at what is written in the note that Rhett gave me.

The first time he gave me a note, he only introduced the identity and character of their tribe members. But this time, the Wisdom Tribe went through a tribal meeting. In other words, the power factions and alliances in the tribe must have been distinguished.

"Do we still count our hidden alliances?" Anna said suddenly after seeing me stand up. At this point Carmelita and Jenny seemed to go to the beach to find food as an excuse to play, so it was indeed a good time for the two of us to chat.

I looked down at Anna with a smile and said, "What are you worried about? Compared to you, I'm more worried about you breaking the agreement unilaterally and turning to Austin? After all, he seems to really like you."

Anna couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard the words, and she said helplessly: "Come on Brian, you don't even believe what you said. Austin doesn't have the brain to play this game well, he looks more like For the sake of having a good time."

"And if he is really allied with him, according to the way he likes to express his inner thoughts directly on his face, it should be discovered by you and Mario soon." Anna is obviously very clear about the current situation, she He said rationally: "You have acting skills and brains. How could I give up such a good choice and choose a last resort."

I saw that the camera crew seemed to have caught us secretly talking, and a cameraman came running over with the camera on his back. Well, it looks like now unless I can find an excuse to get rid of another photographer, I don't need to read that note from Rhett.

The photographer ran over and made an interrupting gesture and turned on the video recording function, which signaled us to continue.

I shrugged and continued with Ana: "But I thought you would think Mario would be a good choice in addition to Austin."

"He's too confident, and following him is easy to offend people. Brian, is the hidden alliance you and I talked about last time?" Anna continued to ask in front of the camera. This is to let the audience notarize our agreement. If after Carmelita and Jenny are eliminated, I will be eliminated by alliance with Mario and Austin, my image will not be very good-looking.

But I don't intend to change my decision anyway, because Anna is also a smart person. It's better to work with smart people than to work with suspicious and mindless guys.

I nodded, reached out to her and said, "Of course it counts. You confuse Austin, I'll hold Mario. My alliance with you will last until the merger." Until the merger, because after that I There may be other plans.

"Very good! Nice to work with, the confusing Siren Brian!" Anna stood up and winked at the camera, then took my hand back. She didn't notice the pitfalls of my language.
