Chapter 273 Securing The First Flag.
Meanwhile back in the forest, Felix was leaning against a tree while playing with a black square-like device in his hand. The device was just a thin screen, resembling a smartphone.
This was the tracker for the flags, the most important item in this competition!
Felix might know that the competition was based on points in secret but he also knew that the flags were worth something.
He just didn't recall their exact worth and Asna was too busy playing games with the Jörmungandr to bother addressing any request of his.
Ti-ring!
After pressing on a button that was at the side, the tracker was turned on after ten seconds delay.
The moment it was on, the screen was turned into a blue radar, that was scanning 1 km around Felix.
"Oh? There is one south?" Felix scratched his cheek in boredom while looking at a red dot that was blinking approximately 700 meters away from him.
The 1 km was split into lines and between each line, there was a 100-meter distance. So it was pretty easy to calculate it.
After noticing that there weren't any other dots besides this one, Felix turned off the tracker to save up the battery.
He searched the package before and didn't find any extra batteries or a charger.
Soon, he stood up and went to his teammates, who were currently cleaning up the messy camp. Although it was engulfed within the fog, some teams must have fought near it before.
While the process might be cumbersome but at least they retained this camping spot plus they kicked out a lot of teams in the area.
Currently, only the Canadian team, the Philippines Team, the Malaysian team, and lastly the England team were still left somewhat near them.
The rest were already extracted by helicopters immediately after the final battle was concluded.
It was obvious that the supervisors waited until no more fights were happening before sending an extraction crew.
Right now, Olivia and the rest were chatting with a lax attitude while cleaning as they knew that no one in the area was going to pose a threat to them.
Unless a new team had decided to venture away from their camp to come here.
"There a flag 700 meters away from us." Felix informed them while shaking the tracker in his hand.
"Nice!" Walton exclaimed in delight and carried on by asking, "When are we moving?"
"Let's move after lunch." Felix sat on a log next to a turned-off campfire and said, "We are left with only 6 days, so we can't be wasting them."
Kenny nodded his head and asked, "Are we going to stick to the plan or we should change it a bit?"
Everyone wondered about this as well since the original plan which they made with George entailed that if they secured a tracker, they must cover at least 5 km diameter around their camp.
They must look south, north, west, and east for flags. Only after they find not a single flag should they move their camp to another zone.
That's why Felix didn't want to aim for the nearest flag currently as he wanted to carry on searching after getting it instead of just sending Kenny or Walton to bring it.
"Let's keep it as it is for now." Felix said casually, "If we don't find a flag for each member in the next day or two we will expand to 10 kilometers for the remaining days."
"What if we don't find them even then?" Olivia asked with a hint of worry in her tone.
She was scared of the idea that some of them would have flags and some won't. She didn't want to imagine how the team would turn like on the last day of the competition when that happened.
