Dodge ultimately did not choose to keep the secret.

Out of self-preservation and to exchange for the secret of Jennifer's power source, he revealed everything he knew to Fatty.

After listening, Fatty didn't get any useful information and felt helpless. He secretly admired that Strange was so meticulous in his work.

After Dodge finished speaking, he urged Fatty to tell him Jennifer's secret.

Before telling Dodge the secret, Fatty made another request: if Strange had any instructions later, Dodge needed to tell Fatty immediately.

Dodge agreed without thinking.

After all, he and Fatty were now in the same boat, and no one could escape if something happened.

Moreover, Fatty would find out about the whole operation sooner or later, so knowing it sooner or later didn't seem to make much difference.

The young master's three elixir pills, two of them were eaten by Fatty and Rui, one each, in the underground ancient city.

The third one, the last one, was fed to Jennifer by Fatty and Rui when Jennifer was on the verge of death.

Fatty would never tell Dodge the secret of the elixir, because the elixir also involved the young master's whereabouts, and exposing the young master's whereabouts to the Z organization would definitely be a losing proposition.

Fatty responded to Dodge's curiosity with an excellent answer.

"The power of me, Rui, and Jennifer comes from meteorites."

There was nothing wrong with Fatty's words.

Although the power of the three of them seemed to come from the power of the elixir, in essence, it was still some kind of power from the meteorite.

"Meteorite?"

Dodge was not satisfied with Fatty's answer. Simply saying that the meteorite was the source of power was obviously too weak.

Fatty added: "Me, Rui, and Jennifer have all been in close contact with meteorites. I don't know what mechanism meteorites have, but I can be sure that meteorites can bring us some kind of power enhancement."

Fatty's explanation was reasonable and well-founded, not a lie, and his words cleverly avoided the important item of "elixir."

Dodge knew that the meteorite that Strange was painstakingly searching for must have some magical function, but it was the first time he had heard that a meteorite could bring such power to people.

Dodge was not calm. There was a look of longing in his eyes: "Are you telling the truth?"

Fatty nodded solemnly.

"In other words, as long as I find the meteorite, maybe I will be like you?"

After communicating with Fatty, Dodge completely let go of his guard and directly stated his vision.

Fatty didn't dare to easily guarantee Dodge. In fact, he couldn't be sure what kind of power the meteorite contained. Perhaps only the young master could answer Dodge's question.

Seeing Dodge's miserable appearance, Fatty couldn't bear to deceive him, but he couldn't fully trust him either. After all, the two sides were still in an antagonistic relationship, and Dodge was still one of the core figures in the Z organization.

"I can only say that finding the meteorite may lead to the answer. As for your question, I can't answer it accurately."

Fatty responded to Dodge's concerns word by word, seriously.

In this long conversation, Fatty actually didn't say anything, but he gained Dodge's trust through his words, helped Dodge regain the motivation to carry out the mission, and strengthened his confidence in finding the meteorite.

More importantly, after Dodge was willing to cooperate, Fatty would know in advance no matter what actions Strange took, which would make it easier to respond.

...

The small fire lit the only star in the dark rainforest.

The fire flickered, and the faint light stretched the shadows of the two night watchmen.

One of these two people was Fatty, and the other was Derek.

After the boa constrictor invaded, the team witnessed Fatty's strength. Later, in the battle with the cannibals, Fatty, Rui, and Jennifer's performance was like gods descending to earth, so the team decided that two people would keep watch at night. One more watchman was added, and one person would be selected from Fatty, Rui, and Jennifer to keep watch for the first half of the night, and one person would keep watch for the second half of the night.

Derek had personally witnessed Fatty's skills and knew that Fatty's background was extraordinary.

But he didn't care about Fatty's background. He only cared about completing this mission smoothly and earning money to support his family.

This was just a business of licking blood from the tip of a knife.

The two chatted casually, and soon it was the second half of the night, and it was Jennifer and the military doctor's assistant's turn to keep watch.

The dew was heavier.

The military doctor's assistant checked Jennifer again, and he found that Jennifer had actually recovered. It was unheard of and unseen. He was very curious about Jennifer's situation and asked many questions.

But Jennifer really didn't know the specific details and could only answer vaguely.

The stars filled the sky, and the night was long.
