Psychological Control

"Get ready...start!!!" With Jeff's order, everyone started to run from the starting line on the beach and rushed towards the sea.

The sand is not easy to run, and the resistance brought by the sea water after entering the water makes my movements more difficult.Although I wasn't far behind at this time, Dillon, who was on my right, was nearly three meters ahead of me and plunged into the water.

When I saw this, I didn't hesitate any more, and when the water didn't reach my thigh, I took advantage of the backflow of the waves and jumped two meters away along the backflow of seawater, and quickly approached Dillon.

After entering the water, I could no longer see the conditions of other players in my sight. I just tried my best to ensure that I swam a straight line with the shortest distance towards the target instead of being disrupted by the current.But I can feel that the distance between Dillon and me is still getting farther and farther away, and the distance that was pulled back when entering the water is quickly opened up.

Even though I knew beforehand that Dillon must have undergone systematic training in swimming, the gap is so big that I am a little disappointed in myself.It seems that it is impossible to invalidate our agreement with Dillon this time.

When I lifted my head out of the sea and saw that there were only a few meters away from the buoy, I took a deep breath and went straight to the bottom of the sea.Although the Beauty Tribe had previously obtained some swimming equipment in the bonus game, such as diving goggles and so on.But for the fairness of the game, these things are not allowed to be brought into the game.

So I could only open my eyes in the sea water, just to see clearly the position of the cloth bag containing the puzzle under the buoy, and to untie the knot by hand.The body fluid of the human body has some salt in it, and the eyes will not sting as unbearably in the salty seawater as in the swimming pool full of disinfectant water and bacteria.

The [-] days of fishing in the beautiful tribe made me re-acquainted with the swimming skills I had learned.The buoyancy will not have any effect on my diving, which is a fatal waste of time for some people who are not familiar with swimming.

As I quickly untied the cloth bag tied to the bottom of the buoy, I turned my head and glanced sideways at Dillon who had begun to swim back a few meters.There is still room to catch up!At this time, other players will reach the buoy and prepare to dive.I put my feet on the bottom of the sea and swim back again.

"Bryan dived without stopping and came up with the puzzle piece! He started to catch up with Dillon, who was in the lead, and he still had a chance! The swimming skills of the two were eye-opening, even for the local fishermen." Jeff was standing on the shore, and the voice of the live host came to my ears.

There is one biggest difference between swimming in the sea and swimming in a swimming pool. The current in the swimming pool does not fluctuate violently. Although it cannot be called stagnant water, it provides a good environment for swimmers.You can swim in the sea. If your forceful water movement happens to repel the current, it will only get twice the result with half the effort.

Feeling the effect of the water flow, I tried my best to catch up with Dillon.After these days of exercise, I don't feel any muscle soreness at all even 100 meters back and forth.

To be honest, the Beauty Tribe eats really well. Although I still lose weight, my body is getting stronger and stronger these days of snorkeling and fishing.It was my pale skin that made me stand out among all the tanned contestants.

"Dillon has already started to land, followed by Brian! Mario and Sandra are not far behind, and they have already obtained the jigsaw bag and started to swim back!" Jeff's live broadcast made me feel uncomfortable. Looking back, you can also grasp the movements of others.

Maybe for some people, Jeff's live broadcast will make them feel more nervous and make mistakes again and again.But for me, there is no possibility of mistakes due to nervousness at this moment, and I will only become more focused and calm because of it.

With my feet on the ground in the water, I switched from swimming to running in the water, and followed Dillon to the puzzle table.He quickly untied the cloth bag and poured out more than a dozen puzzle pieces.

Jeff had already moved between our tables by this time, and began to concentrate on broadcasting the situation between us.Because it is obvious that the contestants who are behind at this time have no chance of winning. "Dillon has already started to puzzle, and Brian has also poured out the puzzle!"

……

"The puzzle is complete! Dillon gets personal immunity!" Jeff walked up to Dillon to confirm the puzzle, and raised a hand and shouted loudly.

I sighed and dropped the last remaining puzzle piece between the two on the table. "Congratulations..." I turned around with a half-smile, and said to Dillon, who did not express any excitement even after obtaining personal immunity.

When he turned around and seemed to be about to speak to me, I turned around and pressed the two puzzle pieces that were randomly thrown on the table into the final position.OCD.Then he turned his head and walked away, walking to the side of Mario who arrived later, waiting with a dark face for Austin who landed at the end and landed like a dog.

Even Rhett can swim faster than Austin!With ten contestants, Austin's swimming skills are at the same level as Casey's.That Casey who doesn't usually exercise at first glance, maybe hasn't swum in ten years!

After the individual immunity competition ended, they returned to the camp in the afternoon, and the atmosphere was turbulent.Mario, who obviously felt that he was in a crisis, began to actively encourage the three of us to win over the other two tribes.

But I have other plans.

Let Mario and Austin die as soon as possible at the hands of other tribal alliances, so that I don't have to bear the charge of betraying them.Therefore, there is no need to worry about losing two final votes in vain after they are eliminated as judges.

Shuffle the cards as early as possible, so although I made an excuse to go fishing with Dillon, I created a space for two people with him.But after I got on the boat and went fishing, I didn't plan to have any real communication with him on the boat.Of course, it doesn't matter if there is no substantive communication, but the atmosphere should not be too rigid.I forced myself to start making small talk with him.

"Are you planning to fish with a harpoon too?" What I saw Dillon picked up was not the fishing rod that Mario had prepared before, but another harpoon that had been idle for a long time.

Dillon weighed the metal harpoon in his hand, took a look at me, and said with a smile: "Because I missed the good opportunity to get fishing gear in that reward match, I haven't eaten good fishing gear these days. Now that I have the conditions, of course I have to Work hard so that you can have a big meal."

"It's just that the number of people who need food supply has increased after the merger. Maybe you won't be able to eat the big meal you want." Somewhat displeased, he looked at me with eyes full of scrutiny, but I still raised the corners of my mouth and said with a smile .Then I stopped talking nonsense, pulled the goggles down my forehead, turned over and fell into the water.

The photographer in charge of following me in the water dived skillfully with me, and then there was another splash, and Dillon also came down.I saw him make a gesture to me, indicating that I was in charge of the left side of the center line of the ship, and he was in charge of the right side.Separate hunting areas can at least ensure that we will not stare at the same prey at the same time.

After a while, I saw a red scale fish the size of a hand, shuttling among the coral.If we want to feed ten people, our workload must at least double.So I don't pick big fish anymore.As long as it is not too small to see the fish, I plan to kill them all.

Skillfully approached and then slowly stretched out the harpoon.

However, just as I aimed at this prey and was about to shoot, my arm was suddenly pulled hard by the photographer behind me, and I flicked the mechanism at the front of the harpoon to shoot out, and the shot was empty.

I was a little annoyed and turned to look at the photographer who was supposed to never bother the contestants, but suddenly found that his face was full of panic, and his hand that was not holding the camera was gesturing to me in a floating posture.

My confusion was explained when I saw him gesticulate and point to the other side of the boat.It was a shark at least one meter long from head to tail!He was hovering beside Di Lung who didn't dare to move.In order not to arouse the predator's desire to hunt, the photographer who followed Dillon and himself could only freeze there and wait for the lost and curious shark to leave voluntarily.

But in fact, unlike photographers who can stay in the water for a long time, Dillon does not have an oxygen tank, and he does not even have a single protective measure for his whole body.The exposed bronze muscles are not as tough as the photographer's special diving suit. As long as the shark wants to, it can easily tear Dillon's skin to pieces!

I followed the photographer who followed me up slowly, but after surfacing, I took a deep breath and dived down again without waiting for the photographer to say anything. "Brian?!" the photographer cried anxiously, "what are you doing?!"

After sinking into the water, the sound on the water surface seems to be inaudible through a thick membrane.The mechanism on my harpoon that was shot empty just now has been reinstalled by me during the process of rising.

Although I don't know how this baby shark got lost in this area where there should be no sharks, but what if we are on board?The arrival of the rescue team can only save lives and heal the wounded at best, which means that Dillon and the photographer may still be injured if they continue to wait.

As I dived under the boat, I clearly saw a sea fish on Dillon's harpoon.The sea fish was dead to death due to the prolonged piercing, but it was still oozing blood into the sea water.Maybe it was the smell of blood that attracted the sharks that were around here before.

I finally knew why Dillon could only freeze there because his only weapon was a harpoon with a dead fish stuck in it, and he had nothing to protect him from a shark attack.Let alone take the initiative to attack.

Juvenile sharks measuring one meter from head to tail are still a long way from adulthood. Their strength and bite force are not as strong as adult sharks, and their hunting skills are not as difficult as those of experienced adult sharks.And I don't want to end up on the Survivor show as an image of abandoning my teammates and fleeing.

Although I can't be blamed for escaping under such a crisis, since there is a chance to become famous, why don't I take a gamble?There is another characteristic of antisocial personality, which is particularly close to the psychology of addicted gamblers.Everything is a weight, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

I was slowly approaching Dillon and wandering around him, staring at the dead shark on his harpoon, slowly set up the harpoon in my hand and hooked my finger on the switch of the harpoon mechanism.Dillon also saw me approaching. At this moment, he had held his breath for a long time, and time was running out.
