《Deserted Island Survival: I Started With Unlimited God-tier Choices》


 Chapter 1

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    In the clear and cloudless sky, a passenger plane was flying past.


    Li Chen leaned against the back of the chair and looked at the clouds outside the window. The long journey had made him very tired.


    ¡°Ding¡­¡±


    A message appeared on his phone.


    Li Chen turned on his phone and checked the message. It was a questionnaire.


    ¡°If you suddenly wake up one day and find yourself on a deserted island¡­¡±


    ¡°You can only choose three of the following ten things. What will you choose?¡±

    ¡°Who would be so bored as to come up with such a questionnaire?¡±


    Li Chen muttered to himself as he casually chose his answer.


    Then, he put away his phone, leaned back, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.


    In this flight, Li Chen and some of his classmates were returning to school after their internship. When they returned to school, their scores would be announced.


    Li Chen was the president of the student union in university, the spokesperson for the campus, the recipient of the special campus scholarship, and an outstanding student cadre. His excellence had also shown brightly in this internship, and he obtained the highest score.


    On the other hand, the internships of his classmates were not as smooth as his.


    In this internship, Hua Long and Zhang Yang shared the same position with Li Chen. The three of them were in a competitive relationship, whereby the person with the hightest score would get the position.


    However, because Hua Long showed his tyrannical behavior by trying to occupy the resources of the veteran employees, which then lead to him being beaten by the veteran employees until he failed. As for Zhang Yang, he had always looked down on this internship and the company, which lead his examiner to also give him a bad grade.


    In the front row, a woman in a business suit was resting with her eyes closed. She looked like a woman in her twenties, but she was actually the person in charge of this university internship: Zhao Yu. The university students habitually called her Sister Yu.


    Moreover, she was about to become the future leader of the person who won the position. She was mature but sometimes a little cold. It was said that she relied on her own ability to reach this position.


    Hua Long and Zhang Yang were sitting next to Zhao Yu. When they booked the tickets, the two of them shamelessly chose to sit next to Sister Yu. They wanted to use this period of time to redeem themselves.


    Perhaps it was because the journey was long, but the usually cold Zhao Yu actually started the conversation first.


    ¡°Is there any happy news in your university? Is there anything new?¡± Zhao Yu asked after graduating many years ago.


    ¡°Happy news? There really is. Let me tell you some very explosive news.¡± Hua Long was the first to take over.


    ¡°What? What explosive news?¡± Sister Rain was instantly interested.


    ¡°Sister Yu, let me tell you. We caught Li Chen peeping at the school belle changing clothes a few times in university!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s true. It¡¯s said to involve sexual harassment.¡±


    ¡°That time, it was even rumored that Li Chen hugged her when no one was looking.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s true. Some people actually this kind of thing. Sigh, it¡¯s hard to say.¡±


    They finally found the topic. Using this matter that happened in the university, the two of them inadvertently mentioned Li Chen.


    In order to save their failing grades, they resorted to such underhanded means.


    Li Chen was awakened by their words. He looked in the direction of the noise and saw the two people sitting beside Zhao Yu in the front row.


    It was rare for these two people to change the topic to Li Chen. They did not want to waste this opportunity.


    They continued to sing the same tune about Li Chen¡¯s bad deeds, hoping that this would reduce the leader¡¯s good impression of him.


    ¡°Sister Yu, there was also that time when Li Chen went to steal the school belle¡¯s underwear and was caught by others,¡± Hua Long continued.


    ¡°Yeah, if not for his good grades, he might have already been expelled.¡± Zhang Yang agreed.


    ¡°Really?¡± Sister Yu was confused.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. The university was afraid of being affected, so they suppressed this matter. Let me tell you, don¡¯t be fooled by his appearance.¡±


    Hearing the two of them slander him, Li Chen was furious.


    ¡°Do you have to do this? What¡¯s the point of slandering me?¡± Li Chen asked angrily.


    The two of them quickly smiled and said to Sister Yu.


    ¡°See, when it comes to his scandal, he¡¯s getting anxious.¡±


    ¡°You dare to do it but don¡¯t dare to admit it. You don¡¯t even let others say it. Who do you think you are?¡±


    The two of them continued to badmouth Li Chen.


    Li Chen stood up angrily and wanted to come forward to explain.


    ¡°Sister Yu, look, he¡¯s getting anxious after saying a few words to him.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense and slandering me.¡± Li Chen¡¯s eyes became anxious.


    ¡°Hmph, we¡¯re not spouting nonsense. You know in your heart that justice is in the hearts of people.¡±


    The two of them continued to provoke Li Chen.


    ¡°Alright, stop arguing. There are other people in the cabin. Be quiet!¡± Sister Yu saw them arguing and quickly stopped them.


    ¡°We¡¯re all classmates. There¡¯s no need to be so stiff.¡± The surrounding people quickly stopped them.


    When Li Chen heard everyone¡¯s words, he quickly returned to his seat. His eyes were filled with unwillingness. He had been slandered and could not refute.


    ¡°If the two of you want to say this out loud, you have to have evidence!¡± The surrounding people also asked the two of them.


    ¡°Evidence?¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask the school belle herself? Ask Li Chen if he sexually harassed her.¡±


    When the two of them heard what the people around them said, they quickly retorted.


    ¡°Don¡¯t go too far!¡± Li Chen stood up again.


    ¡°What? You want to prove it? Call her over and ask her.¡± Hua Long continued to be disgusting.


    ¡°You guys, quiet down. Stop talking. There are still so many people here.¡± Sister Yu quickly stopped them.


    Li Chen was furious and walked straight to Sister Yu¡¯s row.


    ¡°Sister Yu, let me explain. I¡¯m really not what they say.¡±


    ¡°They didn¡¯t pass this internship and wanted to slander me.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s enough. We¡¯ll talk about it when we get to university.¡±


    There was a hint of impatience in Sister Yu¡¯s words. Originally, she had heard gossip about Li Chen. Coupled with Li Chen¡¯s sudden outburst, it made her even more impatient.


    ¡°I¡¯m really not what they say I am.¡±


    Li Chen tried his best to explain his innocence.


    ¡°Alright, I understand. Go back first. We¡¯ll talk about it when we get back.¡± Sister Yu¡¯s tone was commanding.


    Li Chen glanced at the two people beside him. When they saw that Sister Yu¡¯s tone had changed, they were overjoyed.


    ¡°Damn it, these two despicable people.¡± Li Chen cursed these two people in his heart.


    At this moment, due to Li Chen¡¯s commotion and implusiveness, an alarm sounded in the cabin. The air stewardess came to check on the situation.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? May I ask what happened?¡±


    ¡°Sir, please return to your seat immediately. It¡¯s dangerous to leave your seat now.¡±


    When Li Chen heard the flight attendant¡¯s warning, he immediately felt that he had heard this voice somewhere before.


    The air stewardess who came to settle the matter was none other than the school belle of Li Chen¡¯s university, Wang Qi.


    When she was on the university campus, Wang Qi had her hair in pigtails. Back then, she wore a white short-sleeved shirt, denim shorts, and a pair of white sneakers.


    She had always appeared cute and innocent in front of people. This changed when she wore the flight attendant uniform.


    The change in style was so great that Li Chen and the others did not recognize her for a moment. They all looked at Wang Qi in a daze.


    ¡°Gentlemen, what happened just now?¡±


    [7. A Tang Sword

    ¡°It¡¯s you?¡±


    ¡°You guys¡­¡±


    The four of them were surprised at the same time. They did not expect the campus belle they were talking about to come to this airline.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Wang Qi repeated. This question woke Li Chen up.


    ¡°Quick, explain it for me.¡± Li Chen was about to ask Wang Qi to clarify things for him when the sudden bump interrupted him.


    Li Chen, who could not stand steadily, fell to the side and into Wang Qi¡¯s arms. At the same time, in his panic, his hand accidentally touched something he should not have touched.


    Li Chen quickly stopped himself. Wang Qi felt offended by this and said, ¡°Hooligan.¡±


    After saying that, she walked angrily towards the flight attendant room. Li Chen looked at the people beside him.


    ¡°Look, he¡¯s harassing her openly.¡±


    ¡°Sister Yu, did you see that?¡±


    The two of them gloated at the side.


    ¡°Did you see that? When he saw the school belle just now, his eyes were fixed on her.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. He¡¯s just like that. Whenever he sees a beautiful girl, he just wants to touch her. Now, he¡¯s done touching her.¡±


    ¡°No, the plane shook just now and I lost my balance.¡± Li Chen¡¯s explanation sounded weak.


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t. They¡¯re slandering me. They¡¯re making it all up.¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright. What¡¯s there to explain? Hurry up and return to your seat.¡±


    Zhao Yu ordered Li Chen to go back and sit properly. Li Chen knew that this time, Zhao Yu really believed that his actions were improper. Those two people had achieved their goal.


    Li Chen was helpless and gave up on explaining. He wanted to return to his seat.


    Suddenly, the plane shook violently, causing Li Chen to stagger again and almost hit the seat beside him.


    Just as Li Chen stood up and walked to his seat again, the captain¡¯s voice came from the radio.


    ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m the captain of this flight. We just encountered a strong airflow that caused some turbulence. Everyone, hurry up and sit down. Also, grab the armrest.¡±


    Li Chen took the time to return to his seat. He sat down according to the captain¡¯s instructions and grabbed the armrest.


    Originally, he thought that the turbulence had ended and he could heave a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the plane shook violently again.


    The passengers sitting by the window also noticed that there was black smoke coming out of the wings of the plane. There was something wrong with the engine.


    The black smoke grew larger and larger. Suddenly, flames appeared. Seeing it, everyone instantly panicked.


    ¡°Fire!¡±


    ¡°Let us down, let us down!¡±


    ¡°Now, it¡¯s so high up. What if the plane explodes?¡±


    Because the engine on one side was on fire, the plane tilted to its side, completely losing control of its direction. The plane was flying in circles.


    Some passengers rushed outside their seat and began to knock on the door of the pilot cabin.


    Seeing that there was an emergency, the air stewardess quickly came out to comfort the passengers and let everyone sit down. However, she was pushed to the ground by the passengers who got up. Everyone wanted the captain to land quickly.


    ¡°Is this the time to sit down? You still want us to sit down?¡±


    ¡°You want us all to die here? Let us down!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s land!¡±


    Suddenly, the cabin was in chaos. Everyone was asking the captain to land.


    ¡°Hello, passengers. There are emergency landing bags with parachutes above your heads. Just in case, everyone should hurry up and carry it on your backs.¡±


    Soon, the fire outside grew stronger and stronger. Finally, the captain¡¯s voice sounded on the radio again.


    ¡°We did our best, but there is a problem with the plane¡¯s engine. There is a good chance it would stall and hit the ground.¡±


    ¡°For everyone¡¯s safety, we need to parachute out in advance. Don¡¯t worry, there will be staff teaching you at the exit. Our emergency landing bag is very convenient and safe to use. Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    When death came, everyone obediently carried their emergency landing bags and listened to the captain¡¯s instructions.


    ¡°We¡¯ve already descended to a suitable altitude. Everyone has seen the situation with the plane. Everyone can parachute out of the hatch. There will be staff at the hatch to teach everyone how to use the parachute.¡±


    The captain issued a final order for the passengers to parachute out.


    The hatch opened. Under the guidance of the stewardess, everyone successfully jumped out and opened their parachutes.


    However, Zhao Yu had encountered some trouble.


    Zhao Yu¡¯s clothes caused her to not carry the emergency landing bag properly. Now that the straps were tightly wrapped around her thighs, she needed to take them off and put them back on.


    ¡°Sister Yu, let me help you.¡± Li Chen quickly came over to help.


    ¡°Forget it. You won¡¯t even let Sister Yu off? You want to take advantage of this opportunity?¡± Hua Long hurriedly said.


    ¡°You guys¡­ What time is it now? Sister Yu, let¡¯s leave quickly,¡± Li Chen said again.


    ¡°Sister Yu, don¡¯t listen to him. We¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    Hua Long and Zhang Yang pushed Li Chen away and left the exit to Zhao Yu.


    However, when the few of them arrived at the hatch and looked down from such a high altitude, Zhao Yu was suddenly afraid.


    ¡°I don¡¯t dare. I¡¯ve never skydive before.¡± Zhao Yu, who had always been strong, was actually so frightened that her voice trembled.


    ¡°Sister Yu, come with me. I¡¯ve practiced skydiving before. I¡¯ll teach you,¡± Li Chen quickly comforted her.


    ¡°Why do you know everything? You¡¯re still thinking of ways to take advantage of her at a time like this?¡± Hua Long said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sister Yu. We know how to skydive too. We¡¯ll jump down with you.¡± Zhang Yang said proudly.


    These sudden words caused Li Chen to fall silent. He knew that no matter what he did, these two people would defame him to the end.


    Just as they were hesitating, the sound of an explosion came from the front of the plane. Now, they were the only ones left on the plane.


    ¡°Hurry up and leave! Don¡¯t wait anymore!¡±


    ¡°Get out of the way!¡±


    Hua Long pulled Li Chen to the side and gave the best spot to Zhao Yu.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Sister Yu. We¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    Finally, Zhao Yu mustered her courage and jumped down. After she went out, she opened the parachute. Now that the parachute was opened, Zhao Yu was safe. She only needed to land safely.


    Seeing that they had all jumped down, Li Chen quickly jumped out as well. Just as he jumped out of the plane, the plane exploded again.


    Li Chen descended quickly. He saw that the sea below was getting closer and closer to him. He opened his parachute and pulled it. Immediately, the parachute slowed his descent.


    Below him was a sea with only a few green dots, which looked to be islands. Li Chen clearly knew that if he wanted to be saved, he could only land on an island.


    As the others had parachuted earlier than him, they had long disappeared. At this moment, he was floating down very slowly. It would take some time for him to land on the ground.


    ¡°Fortunately, there¡¯s no wind.¡± Li Chen muttered in his heart. Otherwise, who knew where he would be blown to.


    As time passed, Li Chen was finally about to land. He hurriedly adjusted his parachute. Whether he could land depended on this.

    Just as they were about to reach land, Li Chen pulled the rope.


    This caused the parachute to deviate and fly straight towards the tree.


    ¡°Ah, save me¡± Li Chen yelled. Seeing that in front of him was a huge tree, he closed his eyes in fear.


    ¡°Is anyone here? Save me, save me!¡±


    Li Chen happened to be hanging from a tree. Fortunately, he landed on dry land, but on the other hand, he was hanging from a tree.


    Waiting like this was not a solution. Li Chen untied the rope and fell straight down from the tree.


    Li Chen, who had fallen to the ground, fainted.


    ¡°Where am I? Am I dead?¡± Li Chen got up in a daze and looked at his surroundings.


    ¡°Ah, it hurts.¡±


    Li Chen looked down. It turned out that he had grazed himself when he hit the tree and fell. He quickly took out the bandage in his backpack and bandaged it.


    There was a dense forest around him. Li Chen reacted at this moment. He had escaped death and survived safely. Moreover, he had landed on land. This should be the island he had seen in the sky.


    Li Chen suddenly thought of something and quickly rummaged through his bag. He remembered that he had put his phone in his bag.


    After getting his phone out, he quickly turned it on. However, because he fell from the tree, his phone was broken.


    ¡°Shit!¡± In a moment of anger, he wanted to raise the phone and throw it to the ground. But when he thought that it might be useful again one day, he put the phone back in his bag.


    ¡°Is anyone here?¡±


    ¡°Help! Is anyone here?¡±


    Li Chen shouted as he followed the sound of the waves out of the forest. He felt that the chances of finding someone or being saved along the beach were higher, but after walking for a long time, he did not find anything.


    In front of him, there was an endless beach. Accompanied by the sound of the waves, Li Chen sat alone on the beach, looking abnormally lonely.


    ¡°Am I going to die here? Why am I so unlucky?¡± Li Chen muttered to himself.


    Suddenly, Li Chenyan narrowed his eyes. In the distance, a black dot was faintly discernible.


    ¡°What¡¯s that? Is that a human?¡±


    Li Chen was shocked and hurriedly ran over. When he got closer, he saw that it was indeed a person. This person was lying on the beach. More importantly, he needed to save this person.


    Li Chen quickly pulled this person to the shore and flipped over the body. On a closer look, wasn¡¯t this the stewardess, Wang Qi?


    From the looks of it, Wang Qi had landed in the sea and must have fainted from choking. ¡®No matter what, I must save her first,¡¯ Li Chen thought to himself and quickly began to prepare to save her.


    Li Chen first placed Wang Qi on a flat beach. Wang Qi was drenched, and her wet uniform stuck to her body, making her figure look curvaceous.


    Wang Qi was the school belle of Li Chen¡¯s university and the female party involved in Li Chen¡¯s slander this time. Li Chen saw that although Wang Qi was drenched, she was still very beautiful. She had long legs that were 1.7 meters tall. Moreover, she had an adorable personality. She was really the fantasy of many otakus.


    Li Chen had learned some emergency rescue methods. He saw that Wang Qi¡¯s collar was tightly wrapped around her neck, so he needed to untie her collar and relax her. Li Chen¡¯s hands kept trembling. He never expected such a day to come.


    He unbuttoned her collar and cleaned the area around her face. When the collar was unbuttoned, Li Chen saw a trace of black lace seeping out.


    Li Chen took a few deep breaths and began to prepare for cardiac resuscitation. As soon as he came into contact with Wang Qi, Li Chen was a little excited. This feeling, this feeling was really indescribable.


    Li Chen swallowed his saliva and cleared his mind before continuing to press.


    The resuscitation helped a little, as Wang Qi vomited out some seawater. Li Chen quickly wiped her clean with his clothes, but she still did not wake up.


    Li Chen felt that if he pressed for a while longer, he would have to use CPR if it didn¡¯t work. Li Chen had adapted to this motion and continued to press for a while.


    Seeing that the seawater was almost vomited out, Li Chen decided to use CPR.


    Li Chen looked at Wang Qi¡¯s pink mouth and felt a trace of excitement in his heart. He shook Wang Qi¡¯s head and wiped the water from his mouth. He opened her small mouth and stuck his finger in to confirm that there was no foreign object in her mouth.


    Li Chen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and kissed Wang Qi. Wang Qi coughed a few times and spat out a few mouthfuls of seawater. Then, she opened her eyes and saw Li Chen¡¯s mouth descending from the sky.


    ¡°You bastard!¡±


    ¡°Piss off!¡±


    Wang Qi pushed Li Chen away. Li Chen lost his balance and sat on the beach. The two of them stared at each other. Wang Qi sat up.


    She clutched her chest tightly and realized that her collar had been unbuttoned. Exasperated, she began to wave her palm at Li Chen.


    There was a loud slap. Wang Qi clutched her chest with tears in her eyes.


    ¡°You¡¯re dead. I¡¯m going to find my parents and beat you to death!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re really not human. What did you do?¡±


    When Wang Qi saw her collar was unbuttoned, she felt that Li Chen must have taken advantage of her. If she hadn¡¯t woken up in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.


    ¡°Are you done? Don¡¯t think so badly of people, okay?¡±


    ¡°Can you give me a chance to explain?¡±


    Li Chen touched his burning face and his good impression of Wang Qi instantly disappeared.


    ¡°You¡­ you touched me on the plane and now you¡¯re touching me here. You still have the cheek to explain?¡±


    Wang Qi was frightened, but she still said this in a sobbing voice. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she didn¡¯t dare to continue, worried that she would be in danger.


    Li Chen did not want to explain further. He knew that he could not his explaination over to her. The more he explained, the worse it would be. He had to let time prove his character.


    Then, he stood up and turned to walk in the direction he had just come from.


    ¡°Where are you going? Wait for me. There¡¯s no one else here. I¡¯m afraid.¡± When Wang Qi saw Li Chen walking in another direction, she quickly got up, buttoned her collar, and chased after him.


    Wang Qi felt that in this desolate place, those wild beasts frightened her more than Li Chen.


    She quickly jogged after Li Chen, as he walked very quickly.


    He returned to the place where he landed. Li Chen stood there thinking about something.


    ¡°Li Chen, do you have a phone? I want to call my parents and ask them to save us.¡±


    Li Chen reached out and took out the broken phone and handed it to Wang Qi. Wang Qi checked it repeatedly, not believing that the phone was already broken and that it could not be turned on.


    Li Chen looked up and saw coconuts on the coconut tree behind Wang Qi. He licked his lips and immediately had an idea.


    Wang Qi watched as Li Chen licked his lips. She was so frightened that she quickly covered her clothes and took a few steps back. Thinking of what had just happened, Wang Qi felt that she would never agree even if she died.

 Chapter 4

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Li Chen was very surprised to see Wang Qi¡¯s actions.


    Wang Qi watched as Li Chen walked towards her. As he got closer and closer, she grabbed Li Chen¡¯s arm and bit him.


    ¡°Are you crazy?!¡±


    The intense pain made Li Chen quickly retract his arm, but the bite marks were already clearly visible.


    ¡°What do you want to do?¡± However, Wang Qi was also frightened.


    ¡°Climb up this tree.¡± Li Chen pulled Wang Qi to the side and came to the coconut tree. Wang Qi¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she saw Li Chen looking at the coconuts above her head.


    ¡®Did I wrong him just now?¡¯ Wang Qi thought to herself.


    Li Chen looked up at the coconut above his head. The sunlight coming through the gaps in the leaves made him squint. It was really not easy to get coconuts off such a tall tree.


    ¡°Looks like I have to think of a way. Climbing trees is absolutely impossible. I don¡¯t have the ability.¡±


    Li Chen was deep in thought, while Wang Qi found a place to sit down. She wanted to see what Li Chen would do to get the coconuts down.


    Li Chen looked at Wang Qi, who had sat down. He knew in his heart that it was impossible to rely on her help, but it was fine as long as she did not cause trouble for him. The key was that he still had to rely on himself.


    He hugged the coconut tree. Fortunately, the coconut tree was very thin. Li Chen tried to shake it a few times and was successful, so he began to shake the tree hard.


    As Li Chen exerted strength, the top of the coconut tree began to shake more and more intensely. Soon, a few coconuts finally fell off after shaking the tree. Li Chen patted his arm and picked up the coconuts on the ground.


    When Wang Qi saw the falling coconuts, she swallowed her saliva.


    ¡®Sigh, it¡¯s all my fault for being too impulsive,¡¯ Wang Qi thought to herself.


    With coconuts in hand, Li Chen took out a knife from his bag. He did not expect this knife to be of great use.


    Then, he cut open a hole in a coconut with a knife in front of Wang Qi and raised it to drink. Wang Qi could only watch helplessly.


    Thirsty for some coconut juice, Wang Qi swallowed her saliva. At this point, her throat was still very uncomfortable because of the seawater.


    ¡°Can¡­ can you give me a coconut? I¡¯ll pay you back later.¡± Wang Qi¡¯s cute tone sounded.


    ¡°Why should I? I¡¯m a bad person!¡± Li Chen pretended to be angry.


    ¡°I advise you to stay away from me. Be careful that I don¡¯t molest you. Why don¡¯t you run away quickly, instead of asking me for a coconut?¡±


    Li Chen deliberately mentioned what had happened previously. When Wang Qi heard this, she couldn¡¯t continue speaking.


    ¡°Then, then I¡¯ll buy it, alright? I¡¯ll give you money.¡±


    Perhaps because she was too thirsty, Wang Qi kept testing Li Chen, but Li Chen still did not agree. Wang Qi felt that the price might be too low, so she raised it.


    Seeing that Li Chen was still unmoved, Wang Qi was actually a little angry.


    ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re going too far. I¡¯ve already said I would give you money, and you¡¯re still not satisfied?¡±


    ¡°Heh, what¡¯s the use of giving me money? I don¡¯t want money. I want¡­¡± Li Chen smiled evilly.


    ¡°What do you want? Li Chen, don¡¯t go too far!¡± Wang Qi subconsciously covered her collar and took a few steps back.


    ¡°I want you to beg me. If you beg me, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Li Chen sneered. Who let you slander me. See if I don¡¯t mess with you.


    Wang Qi heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°As long as it¡¯s not what I think.¡±


    Wang Qi silently said in her heart, but she was still relieved that it was not what she thought.


    ¡°Please, just lend me a coconut, please.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s it? I don¡¯t think you¡¯re sincere enough. Continue.¡± Li Chen still wanted to hear something more.


    ¡°You¡¯re too much. You¡¯re a bully.¡±


    Wang Qi started to complain, ¡°I¡¯ve never begged anyone in my life. Don¡¯t push your luck. I haven¡¯t settled those things with you yet.¡±


    ¡°Then I won¡¯t dare to give it to you. Since you¡¯ve already said so, how can I dare to give it to you? If I give it to you, won¡¯t you kill me?¡±


    When Li Chen saw Wang Qi¡¯s angry and slightly threatening expression, he suddenly felt that she was very cute like this. Moreover, it matched her cute personality. He felt good in his heart, but on the surface, he still wanted to keep her hanging.


    ¡°You, then I don¡¯t want it anymore. You¡¯re too much. When I get out of here, I¡¯ll definitely take revenge on you. Hmph!¡± Wang Qi gritted her teeth and turned her head to the side.


    ¡°Oh? Then I¡¯ll wait and see what you do.¡± Li Chen¡¯s words were filled with mockery.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want it anymore. I can¡¯t afford it.¡± Wang Qi turned around and walked to the shade at the side.


    Now that the sun was gradually rising and the weather was gradually getting hot, even if they hid in a shady place, the high temperature could easily make one feel thirsty.


    Seeing that Wang Qi had given up on this idea, Li Chen did not say anything else.


    He came to the bottom of a relatively thin coconut tree and began to shake it. After a while, he got down a few more coconuts.


    Li Chen collected all the coconuts and placed them where Wang Qi could see them.


    Wang Qi¡¯s mouth was dry, and her face was red from the heat. She couldn¡¯t help but wipe the sweat on her forehead with her hand, then swallowed to moisturize her dry throat.


    Wang Qi felt that she was already hallucinating from the heat. She couldn¡¯t continue like this. She had to do it herself.


    Hence, Wang Qi also came under a relatively small coconut tree. Then, she hugged the coconut tree tightly. With her bumps squeezed flat, she shook the tree hard.


    However, the coconut tree did not move at all. After all, she was a girl, and she did not have that much strength.


    Wang Qi¡¯s actions made Li Chen laugh. Li Chen looked at the angry Wang Qi.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± Wang Qi retreated and asked Li Chen, who was smiling.


    ¡°Cough, cough. With your strength¡­¡± Li Chen laughed. ¡°You still have to practice more!¡±


    ¡°Do you want it?¡± Li Chen took a coconut and waved it in front of Wang Qi.


    ¡°I want it. No, I don¡¯t want it!¡± Wang Qi had originally blurted out the word ¡°I want it¡±, but she still held it in and immediately rejected it.


    ¡°You really don¡¯t want it? Are you sure?¡± Li Chen tempted.


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t want it. I really don¡¯t want it!¡± Wang Qi was a little angry and started to plan to chase Li Chen away. She didn¡¯t want to continue talking to him.


    Li Chen noticed that Wang Qi was chasing him away. ¡°That¡¯s a pity. I can¡¯t bring so many coconuts with me. Then, I¡¯ll just throw them here.¡± After that, he left casually.


    Wang Qi looked at the departing Li Chen and felt extremely excited. Then, she looked at the coconuts on the ground and began to think.


    ¡°I can¡¯t drink it. His things are definitely not good.¡±


    ¡°Drink, just drink it. If I don¡¯t, I¡¯m going to die of thirst. I should drink while he¡¯s gone.¡±


    These two thoughts were arguing in Wang Qi¡¯s mind, but she was really thirsty. She immediately peeked around and did not see Li Chen.


    Suddenly, a thought flashed through Wang Qi¡¯s mind. She immediately stood up.


    ¡°Oh yes!¡±

 Chapter 5

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°He¡¯s already gone. No one wants these coconuts anymore.¡±


    ¡°Since no one wants it, I¡¯ll¡­¡±


    A hint of joy flashed across Wang Qi¡¯s eyes as she muttered to herself. So this was what she had discovered.


    Wang Qi quickly went to get one and realized that the coconut had long been opened. Hence, she began to drink from the opening. With water to replenish her energy, she instantly became energetic again.


    ¡°Is it sweet?¡± Li Chen¡¯s voice sounded beside Wang Qi.


    ¡°Sweet.¡± Wang Qi put down the coconut and blurted out in response, looking very satisfied.


    After saying this, Wang Qi¡¯s face darkened. She turned around and saw Li Chen behind her. Then, she said angrily, ¡°You did it on purpose!¡±


    ¡°You picked this up. I¡¯m just asking if it¡¯s delicious. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Li Chen also wanted to give Wang Qi a way out, not wanting the atmosphere to continue being awkward.


    With this coconut, Wang Qi¡¯s opinion of Li Chen changed.


    Just now, Li Chen had looked around. This island was not very big, but there were still many coconut trees. There were enough coconuts on them to eat, but just coconuts were obviously not enough.


    When surviving in the wild, in addition to water, they also needed to replenish protein, vitamins, and so on. These could not be satisfied by just relying on coconuts.


    Fortunately, the island was close to the sea. Near the sea, they could go to the sea to catch some fish and shellfish, which would enrich their source of food. However, the most important thing was whether they could find other survivors.


    In the wilderness, it was very dangerous to encounter large carnivores. Li Chen looked at the sky. The sun was gradually heading west. It looked like the sky was gradually turning dark.


    In this situation, it was not suitable to go out at night, so he could only take advantage of this moment. Therefore, Li Chen took his knife and began to walk towards the sea.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Wang Qi frowned and asked when she saw that Li Chen was about to leave again.


    ¡°Finding food, or should we starve to death?¡± Li Chen said.


    ¡°Wait for me!¡± Hearing that, Wang Qi followed closely. She knew that it was dangerous for her to be alone in such a place.


    However, Wang Qi began to worry. She was worried that Li Chen would not give her fish after catching it. After all, she had spent a lot of effort just to have him give her a single coconut just now.


    Li Chen took the knife to the beach and searched for a suitable spot to fish, hoping to find an unlucky fish waiting to be caught by him.


    After a while, he finally found a suitable spot. A few rocks protruded from the surroundings, and the obstruction of the rocks formed a small ditch. As long as he blocked the entrance, it would be very easy to catch fish in a small closed pool.


    Li Chen lay on a rock and looked at the small pool. The water was very clear, and he could clearly see a few fish swimming in it. Under the refraction of the sunlight, the fish dazzled Li Chen¡¯s eyes.


    He blinked and confirmed again that there were quite a lot of fish. It was enough.


    At this moment, Wang Qi was also chasing after him. When Wang Qi saw Li Chen lying on a rock, she knew that Li Chen wanted to catch fish here. She slowly walked over. But because her shoes were not suited for this kind of terrain, it was very difficult for her to walk up.


    When Li Chen saw the surrounding environment, he immediately thought of a solution. He quickly went to the beach and searched around. He wanted to find some stones to seal this place. By doing this, it would be much easier to catch fish.


    When Wang Qi saw Li Chen¡¯s actions, she did not know what he was thinking. She could only watch as Li Chen busied himself.


    ¡°What are you looking at? Come and help me find some stones. Do you want to starve?¡± Li Chen called out to Wang Qi, who immediately reacted.


    However, after searching for a long time, other than sand, he did not find a single stone on the bare beach. Li Chen decided to take the tough approach.


    He came to the rock again. Then he took off his shoes, rolled up his sleeves, and held his knife tightly in his hand.


    Wang Qi looked at what he was planning and did not dare to breathe loudly. At this moment, a fish slowly swam over. It was now!


    Li Chen raised his knife and jumped into the water. However, when he raised his knife, it was empty. He did not catch the fish and was still drenched.


    ¡°Hahaha, the only fish you can catch are those you slammed to death. Hahaha, I¡¯m dying of laughter.¡± Li Chen¡¯s actions amused Wang Qi.


    ¡°You better pray that I don¡¯t catch any fish. If I do, I¡¯ll let you know what fish smells like!¡± Li Chen wiped the seawater on his face with his hand and spat out a few mouthfuls as he said to Wang Qi.


    ¡°Just you? Don¡¯t joke.¡± Wang Qi looked unconvinced.


    As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, he raised his knife and stabbed it again. The spot was huge, but he did not catch a single fish.


    ¡°Are you trying to make me laugh?¡± Wang Qi said with a smile.


    ¡°What do you know? This is called fishing in troubled waters.¡±


    Li Chen could only climb back onto the rock. He knew that this would only waste his time and stamina. He looked at the fish that had just been scared away and swam back. Suddenly, he thought of something.


    As Wang Qi watched as Li Chen walked further away, she suddenly looked at the stockings on her legs and immediately thought of something. However, she looked into the distance shyly.


    After Wang Qi saw Li Chen running into the forest again, she took off her shoes, wanting to feel the coolness of the seawater. Just as she slowly stretched her feet into the water.


    Suddenly, the cold seawater made her body tremble uncontrollably. At the same time, her medium-sized treasure also trembled. Unfortunately, Li Chen did not see this scene.


    Wang Qi quickly retreated back to the rock and put on her shoes, giving up on the idea of entering the water.


    Looking at the fish swimming in the water, Wang Qi couldn¡¯t help but complain, ¡°Why is it so difficult to catch you?¡±


    At this moment, Li Chen returned with some branches and a long bamboo pole with a sharpened head. Li Chen planned to use this as a harpoon.


    Li Chen came to the rock and aimed at the fish in the water. He tested it back and forth and felt that it was not bad, so he planned to continue catching fish.


    Wang Qi looked at the branches that Li Chen had brought back and at Li Chen. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she decided not to say it. She pushed back and gave the spot near the water to Li Chen.


    Wang Qi found a place to sit down. Because she was wearing a uniform, she could only curl up her legs and sit down. However, one could still see her slender legs, which would subtly attract one to look deeper. This scene was indeed a little too much.


    Li Chen glanced at Wang Qi and his gaze landed at the right place. However, he quickly shifted his gaze, not daring to look anymore. He was afraid that something would happen.


    This time, Li Chen carefully walked into the water. Then, he stood still and waited for the fish to approach him. His eyes revealed determination as he stabbed in.


    Li Chen¡¯s heart tightened. He did not know if he had gained anything. This action just now had caused water to splash everywhere, so he did not see if it had hit. He quickly raised the harpoon.


    There was nothing on it. Li Chen was a little disappointed.


    ¡°Hahaha, you really are. No wonder they said you¡­¡±

 Chapter 6

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Sure, he did not catch any fish, but after hearing Wang Qi¡¯s words, Li Chen was a little angry.


    ¡°What did you say?¡±


    ¡°What do you want? I¡¯m telling the truth. You only care about studying. You¡¯re indeed good at studying, but your personality is too weak.¡±


    Wang Qi knew that she shouldn¡¯t tease Li Chen, but she had already said it.


    Li Chen threw the harpoon to the ground angrily. He knew that Wang Qi was talking about him being falsely accused again.


    ¡°I told you, they made it up. You have to apologize!¡±


    ¡°I¡­ I heard everything they said. If they¡¯re framing you, why don¡¯t you take revenge on them? Isn¡¯t this because you¡¯re weak? You deserve to be bullied!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to lower myself to their level. If you say that again, you have to apologize to me!¡± Li Chen said calmly but fiercely.


    ¡°I apologize to you? You haven¡¯t apologized to me for taking advantage of me,¡± Wang Qi said stubbornly.


    ¡°In that case, it¡¯s necessary for us to talk.¡±


    With that, Li Chen climbed onto the rock and walked towards Wang Qi.


    ¡°Stop it!¡±


    When Li Chen heard someone else¡¯s voice, he quickly turned around. It was none other than Zhao Yu.


    Zhao Yu quickly ran forward and slapped him again. ¡°Li Chen! Are you done? You took advantage of me on the plane and now you¡¯re trying to take advantage of her?¡±


    Li Chen covered his face and felt extremely pained in his heart. ¡°Why am I so wronged? Why did I have to make all my wishes come true?¡±


    Zhao Yu hurriedly pulled Wang Qi up from the rock and checked if anything had happened to her. When Wang Qi saw Zhao Yu taking care of her like her biological sister, she hurriedly ran behind her.


    ¡°Little girl, don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯ll protect you.¡± Zhao Yu quickly comforted Wang Qi.


    ¡°What do you mean? Is there a need to bully me alone? Can we figure out what happened first?¡±


    Li Chen finally exploded. He looked at the two people in front of him and shouted at the top of his lungs.


    Then, he picked up the harpoon on the ground and planned to leave the two of them. However, his actions were treated by Zhao Yu as if he wanted to attack them. Hence, Zhao Yu raised her leg and kicked him.


    This time, he kicked Li Chen¡¯s vital spot. Li Chen¡¯s entire body tensed up and he quickly retreated to avoid Zhao Yu¡¯s next kick. He also knew that his female leader was not to be trifled with.


    ¡°I am really wronged. Those two made up those lies. Ask her what I did to her.¡±


    Li Chen pointed at Wang Qi and said to Zhao Yu, ¡°Why do you believe what others say?¡±


    When Zhao Yu heard this, she quickly asked Wang Qi, ¡°Did he bully you?¡±


    Wang Qi thought about it carefully. Li Chen had indeed not done anything overboard. It seemed that all of this had indeed wronged him, but she should let him explain himself.


    Wang Qi shook her head. ¡°But he wanted to attack us just now¡­¡± Wang Qi thought of the coconut incident and wanted to take revenge on Li Chen, so she said to Zhao Yu aggrievedly.


    Zhao Yu looked at Li Chen with disgust. ¡°Look at you. Your internship results are good and you have a bright future, but why do you have to do such dirty things?¡±


    Li Chen was helpless when he heard this because they did not have any evidence to prove he did so. They had only heard some hearsay and concluded that there was something wrong with his character.


    ¡°I think you won¡¯t believe me even if I tell you. How about this? Find Hua Long and Zhang Yang. When the time comes, the few of us will go against each other and see what kind of person I am.¡± Li Chen held the harpoon and wanted to continue hunting fish.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe that those two people would still frame me when death is imminent!¡±


    ¡°Are you alright?¡± Zhao Yu looked at Wang Qi with concern. Although she had a strong aura, she immediately restrained herself when she saw Wang Qi.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. Thank you, Sister.¡± When Wang Qi saw Li Chen leave dejectedly, there was a trace of pity in her eyes.


    Li Chen did not turn around to look at the two of them. He returned to the rock and began to aim at the fish in the water. He wanted to continue hunting fish. Otherwise, he would really go hungry later.


    Wang Qi was very puzzled. She didn¡¯t know why this sister in front of her was so hostile to Li Chen that she hit him the moment she came up.


    ¡°Sister, what¡¯s going on between you and Li Chen?¡± Wang Qi asked.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Come, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to a safe place.¡±


    Then, Zhao Yu pulled Wang Qi into the distance. Wang Qi finally found someone to stay with her, and she could finally leave Li Chen.


    Zhao Yu and Wang Qi left without saying a word to Li Chen. Li Chen also ignored the two of them.


    Li Chen aimed at the fish in the water again. Then, he stabbed with his harpoon, but he still caught nothing. However, Li Chen was not worried about anything now. No one believed him anymore, but it was fine as long as he was not hungry.


    Li Chen took a deep breath, cleared his head, and gripped the harpoon tightly. When a fish swam over, Li Chen raised the harpoon and stabbed it hard.


    This time, Li Chen clearly felt a change in the force of the stab. Li Chen was very happy. He raised the harpoon. Indeed, there was a large fish on the harpoon that struggled a few times before losing its life.


    However, compared to him hitting nothing, this fish had already increased Li Chen¡¯s confidence. As long as he worked harder, he would have dinner tonight.


    After another period of busy work, there were already four fish on the ground. Li Chen cleaned them all up and planned to take them away. He would eat roasted fish tonight.


    He looked at the sun. It was almost at the horizon. It looked like it was almost four or five o¡¯clock.


    Li Chen packed up and brought all the fish into the forest. He felt that it was better to stay in the forest, as it was more convenient to find branches here.


    After putting the things away, Li Chen went to find some dry branches around to make it easier to start a fire later. However, just as he returned, he realized that Zhao Yu and Wang Qi, who had left a while ago, had returned.


    When the two of them saw the fish on the ground, they could not help but swallow their saliva. They must have already thought of the taste of the roasted fish.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you leave? Why did you come back? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll bully the two of you?¡±


    Li Chen said disdainfully. Then, he threw the tree branch he had picked up to the ground and patted the dust off his body, preparing to start a fire.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    ¡°This place isn¡¯t yours. We can stay here,¡± Zhao Yu said.


    ¡°That¡¯s fine. Whatever. You guys stay here, but don¡¯t affect me when I¡¯m roasting my fish,¡± Li Chen said casually.


    Zhao Yu must have not eaten for a day. She glanced at the coconuts on the ground, but this time, Li Chen was back. The coconuts now had an owner. It was not randomly placed on the ground anymore.


    It turned out that after the two of them had left, she heard from Wang Qi that there were coconuts that Li Chen had thrown away nearby, so they wanted to come and get them. However, they did not expect to get lost and Li Chen beat them to it.


    The two of them saw Li Chen pick up the dry firewood on the ground and pick through the firewood. This made the two of them very puzzled. What was Li Chen trying to do?

 Chapter 7

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Li Chen finally picked up a thick branch from the batch of dry firewood. Then, he took out another knife from his bag and quickly cut the thick branch until it had a flat surface. Afterwhich, he also carved out a hole.


    After finishing those steps, he found a relatively thin branch and sharpened the tip. He drilled the two pieces against each other, and they were great, so he put some hay in the hole.


    Seeing this, Wang Qi and Zhao Yu understood Li Chen¡¯s actions. It turned out that he wanted to drill wood to start a fire.


    ¡°How can you start a fire like this? He must have watched too many survival movies!¡± Zhao Yu said to Wang Qi.


    ¡°Sister Yu, don¡¯t you notice Li Chen has tools but we don¡¯t?¡±


    Wang Qi¡¯s words reminded Zhao Yu that Li Chen had already taken out two knives. Logically, knives were not allowed to be brought onto the plane, so this matter puzzled Zhao Yu.


    ¡°How long are you guys going to stay here? I¡¯m going to start a fire soon. Don¡¯t tell me you guys don¡¯t even know how to start a fire,¡± Li Chen said.


    ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t believe you can light a fire,¡± Wang Qi said.


    To start a fire required drilling a stick onto the flat base. Li Chen had only read about this technique in books, but he had never actually practiced it. Therefore, he brought out the hand speed that he had trained after being single for decades and began to spin the stick.


    There was some heat in the groove, followed by a little redness. Yes, this was the spark he wanted. Li Chen carefully poured the spark on the hay and carefully blew it.


    The hay in Li Chen¡¯s hand slowly emitted smoke, and the smoke became larger and larger. When Wang Qi and Zhao Yu saw the smoke, they thought that Li Chen had really started a fire.


    Wang Qi¡¯s eyes widened even more. She couldn¡¯t believe that Li Chen could start a fire with just a few pieces of wood.


    However, there was only smoke in the hay. There was no flame. After the smoke dispersed out, what remained was only a handful of hay. The first trial failed, but he was just a little bit away from success.


    As Li Chen put down the hay, the light in Wang Qi¡¯s eyes gradually dimmed. She had just thought that Li Chen looked handsome as he was able to start a fire, but she didn¡¯t expect it to end like this.


    Li Chen picked up the two pieces of wood from before and placed them in the hay again. His hands continued to move. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely. As Li Chen worked hard, more sparks gradually appeared.


    Smoke also rose from the two pieces of wood. It¡¯s now!


    Li Chen carefully poured all the sparks on the dry grass and slowly blew in some air. Smoke rose from the dry grass again. Slowly, the dry grass started to move.


    Seeing this, Li Chen quickly placed the hay on the ground and placed the firewood he had picked up on it. The fire was finally lit. With a fire, everything was easy.


    Dry grass and firewood were added to the fire. The fire grew larger and larger, and the time was ripe.


    Li Chen brought over the fish that had already been cleaned and gutted. He pierced the fish with a slender stick and placed it on the fire to roast.


    Wang Qi and Zhao Yu swallowed their saliva when they saw this, but they knew that they had already offended Li Chen. It was already good if Li Chen didn¡¯t chase them away. If not, it was really hard to say where they would stay at this time.


    At this moment, Wang Qi pointed at the coconuts on the tree. Zhao Yu understood her intentions, so the two of them came to the tree and began to hug it and shake it.


    ¡°Aiyo, why is this tree so difficult to shake? I¡¯m so tired.¡± Wang Qi wiped her face with her hand.


    ¡°Come quickly. We can definitely get it down,¡± Zhao Yu encouraged Wang Qi.


    Finally, the two of them worked together to get a coconut down. However, there was another problem. How could they open it?


    The two of them looked at each other and looked at Li Chen. At this moment, he was the only one with a knife.


    ¡°Let me borrow your knife.¡± Zhao Yu stepped forward and said.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯m a bad person? Moreover, I have a knife now. Why aren¡¯t you running away?¡± Li Chen continued to retort. Since they said that he was a bad person, he would be a bad person until the end.


    ¡°Are you going to lend it to me or not? Speak frankly. Don¡¯t play with us here,¡± Zhao Yu continued.


    ¡°With that tone? Forget it. I¡¯ll do a good deed as a bad person. I¡¯ll lend it to you.¡±


    Li Chen opened his backpack and wanted to take out the knife. However, Li Chen was also afraid that if he gave them the knife, they might not return it to him. He could not guarantee that another knife would appear in his backpack tomorrow.


    ¡°I¡¯ll lend it to you, but I¡¯m going to be the one using it. What do you want to do with it? I¡¯ll do it for you.¡±


    Wang Qi looked at the coconut, and Li Chen immediately understood. They wanted to open the coconut.


    Li Chen quickly opened the coconut and handed it to them. The two of them immediately started to share it.


    However, at this moment, the fragrance of the roasted fish had already spread. The fish was done grilling.


    ¡°Name your price. We¡¯ll buy your fish.¡± Zhao Yu thought of a good idea.


    ¡°My annual salary is enough, right? My annual salary equates to your salary for several years.¡± Zhao Yu said this with a hint of smugness. After all, Li Chen was an intern under her.


    ¡°Do you all just like to buy things? Besides, I¡¯m the bad guy you¡¯re talking about. Be careful or I¡¯ll poison you.¡±


    Li Chen¡¯s words directly stopped Zhao Yu from continuing. Zhao Yu could not help but start to reflect on what kind of person Li Chen was.


    ¡°Tell me, what do you want to do? I¡¯ll do my best to satisfy you,¡± said Zhao Yu.


    ¡°What do I want? You should know, right? Do as you see fit.¡± Li Chen¡¯s words made it even more difficult for the two of them to continue.


    The situation fell into a stalemate. The two of them realized that Li Chen completely did not want to give them fish to eat.


    Wang Qi and Zhao Yu could only sit there in a daze and look at the coconut in their hands. Compared to roasted fish, the coconut in their hands was not delicious.


    At this moment, Li Chen sized up the two people under the flame. Zhao Yu had short hair and a pure white shirt. Perhaps because it was wet, the redness inside could be vaguely seen.


    She was also wearing tight suit pants. Li Chen felt that she definitely had a vest line, and it looked perfect.


    ¡°Tell me, what do you want?¡± Wang Qi asked again and looked at herself.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want to¡­¡± As she spoke, Wang Qi lowered her head and did not continue.


    ¡°I definitely won¡¯t take money. Money is useless here. I don¡¯t even know when I can go back.¡±


    Li Chen coughed twice and looked at Zhao Yu and Wang Qi.


    ¡°You bastard, you¡¯re indeed such a person.¡±


    Zhao Yu was furious.


    Li Chen was a little surprised. ¡°Can you guys not think so badly of me? I didn¡¯t say anything.¡±


    ¡°For some things, don¡¯t always think of the worst. For example, me. Did I really do anything wrong?¡±


    When Wang Qi and Zhao Yu heard Li Chen¡¯s words, they were suddenly confused.


    ¡°Did you hear them say that I sexually harassed her and took advantage of her? Have you heard my explanation? Can you let me explain before you make a decision?¡±

 Chapter 8

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Li Chen¡¯s words rendered Zhao Yu and Wang Qi speechless. The two of them fell silent.


    ¡°This is a fish I caught. One of you didn¡¯t help, and the other slapped me. Yet, you still want to enjoy it?¡±


    The two of them remained silent. Li Chen placed the fish in his mouth and took a bite.


    The delicious fish meat and the sizzling heat made Li Chen eat it with hissing sounds. Looking at the snow-white fish meat, Wang Qi and Zhao Yu swallowed and picked up the coconut.


    Just as the two of them lowered their heads in desolation, not knowing what to do.


    ¡°Here!¡±


    The two of them looked up and saw two roasted fish in front of them. Li Chen gave them two fish.


    ¡°This is? For us?¡±


    Wang Qi¡¯s eyes widened. She couldn¡¯t believe that there would be fish to eat. After she rubbed her eyes excitedly and confirmed that this was reality, she took the roasted fish.


    ¡°Remember, you have to pay for the two fish. Don¡¯t forget!¡± Li Chen said casually as he sat by the fire and continued to eat the roasted fish.


    ¡°Alright!¡± Wang Qi spoke first and interrupted Zhao Yu.


    Li Chen¡¯s sudden kindness made the two of them feel flattered. They quickly went to the fire and started to roast fish.


    ¡°It¡¯s not too much to be a good person until the end, right?¡± Zhao Yu¡¯s originally cold words now had a more joking tone. Her attitude also improved a little.


    ¡°Let¡¯s borrow it. Since we have already borrowed the fish, we should also borrow the fire.¡±


    Li Chen¡¯s actions made the two of them uncertain. Their hearts began to change bit by bit, and their wrong opinion of Li Chen also changed.


    Li Chen took the opportunity to size up the two people in front of him. Zhao Yu was a few years older than him, but there was no sign of aging. She was dressed very professionally and exuded the charm unique to working women. As for Wang Qi, she had just graduated. Even now, she was very good-looking. As expected of the school belle at that time.


    ¡°Ah, it¡¯s burnt!¡± Wang Qi shouted.


    Li Chen looked at the fish in Wang Qi¡¯s hand. It turned out that it had been burnt. Though, it made sense. Someone like her would definitely be able to do whatever she wanted. How could she personally go to the kitchen? It was normal for the fish to be burnt.


    Shifting his attention to Zhao Yu, she was roasting relatively smoothly. It was obvious that she had been cooking delicious food at home.


    As for Li Chen, he was almost done eating. Only bones were left of the fish.


    Wang Qi watched as Li Chen ate with relish. A bold thought suddenly appeared in her mind.


    ¡°Um, can you help me again?¡± Wang Qi said carefully.


    ¡°What are you doing? What else do you want? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I will eat you until I¡¯m full?¡± Li Chen said deliberately.


    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re a good person. Can you help me roast it? I don¡¯t know how,¡± Wang Qi said.


    Li Chen realized what Wang Qi was saying. She actually wanted him to help roast fish.


    ¡°Beg me, show me your cuteness,¡± Li Chen ordered.


    ¡°Please help me. I really don¡¯t know how to roast. Help me.¡± Wang Qi actually wheedled.


    Li Chen realized that Wang Qi had actually done as he was told. At this point, he could not deny her, so he took the fish into his hand.


    Zhao Yu felt that her fish was almost done, so she carefully picked up a small piece and placed it in her mouth. Immediately after, she spat it out. It was still not fully cooked.


    The strong fishy smell immediately made her vomit again. Zhao Yu knew that she would have to try it later to confirm if it was cooked, but the more anxious she was, the worse it became. It had been so long, but it still hadn¡¯t been completely roasted.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do it,¡± said Li Chen softly.


    Perhaps because she realized that she really could not handle it, Zhao Yu also handed the fish in her hand to Li Chen.


    Li Chen took the fish from their hands and placed it on the fire to roast. The fish that was about to be wasted emitted a fragrance again in Li Chen¡¯s hand.


    After a while, it was finally done. Then he handed the fish to the two of them.


    ¡°Be careful of the heat. Eat slowly. No one is fighting with you over it,¡± Li Chen hurriedly instructed.


    The two of them could not care less. They took the roasted fish and began to eat it in big mouthfuls. After all, they had not eaten for a day.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to know how to roast fish,¡± Zhao Yu said after eating.


    ¡°There are a lot of things you don¡¯t know and you can¡¯t randomly make up assumptions.¡± Li Chen¡¯s words were meaningful and deeply struck Zhao Yu¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Could it be that I really wronged him? But that day, he really touched Wang Qi and lay in her arms. Could there be another reason?¡±


    After repeating what had happened today, Zhao Yu thought silently in her heart.


    ¡°Um, Sister Yu, I¡­¡±


    Wang Qi¡¯s words interrupted Zhao Yu¡¯s thoughts. It turned out that Wang Qi wanted to go to the toilet.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s so late. I¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    The two of them got up and walked towards the darkness of the forest. It was already night, so the forest at this time was very dark.


    ¡°Are you going to run away after eating?¡± Li Chen hurriedly asked.


    ¡°Come on, we¡¯re not as bad as you. We¡¯re just going to the toilet,¡± Zhao Yu said.


    ¡°It¡¯s getting dark. Take a torch and go.¡± Li Chen handed over a lit wooden stick. In this kind of situation, a light source could also add some sense of security.


    The two of them walked for a long time before they finally arrived at a relatively safe place.


    ¡°Sister Yu, what do you think of Li Chen? How do you know him?¡± Wang Qi asked.


    ¡°Li Chen? You don¡¯t know yet, right? He¡¯s an intern in our company. His results were the best.¡± Zhao Yu began to introduce her relationship with Li Chen to Wang Qi.


    ¡°Then, Sister Yu, do you think he¡¯s a bad person? I think we¡¯ve wronged him a little. He doesn¡¯t seem to be that bad.¡±


    Wang Qi¡¯s words poked at Zhao Yu¡¯s thoughts. Zhao Yu fell silent.


    ¡°Maybe. He doesn¡¯t seem that bad,¡± Zhao Yu muttered to herself after a long silence.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. If he was bad, he might have done something long ago. Moreover, he has a knife in his hand.¡±


    Zhao Yu was also thinking about the truth of the matter in her heart, but before the truth was discovered, she could not jump to conclusions. Now that Li Chen had not done anything bad, she could not guarantee that he would not do anything bad in the future.


    ¡°Ah! Help!¡±


    ¡°Sister Yu, save me!¡±


    Wang Qi¡¯s shouts were especially ear-piercing in the silent night.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    When Zhao Yu heard Wang Qi¡¯s shout, she quickly ran over. At this moment, she was only a slope away from Wang Qi, as Zhao Yu was originally waiting for her on the slope.


    After Zhao Yu came down, she realized that there was a problem. In the darkness, a few pairs of eyes flickered. It seemed that they had encountered danger.


    ¡°Hurry and go up!¡± Zhao Yu shouted.


    However, Wang Qi was still wearing the uniform of a flight attendant. She could not move her legs freely, which made it very difficult for her to walk up. In a panic, Wang Qi fell to the ground.


    ¡°Help, help!¡± At the same time, a few shouts came from the darkness.


    There were others!

 Chapter 9

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Shouts sounded, and Li Chen could vaguely hear them.


    ¡°Oh no, they¡¯re in danger,¡± Li Chen muttered to himself.


    Then, he opened his backpack and searched it quickly. Finally, he found a pistol.


    ¡°Thank God, I knew this backpack would be of great use at critical moments!¡± Li Chen held the pistol with both hands and walked in the direction Wang Qi and Zhao Yu had walked in.


    At this moment, Wang Qi had already stood up with Zhao Yu¡¯s help. The hill that could have been reached in a few steps now seemed abnormally difficult to climb.


    ¡°Walk slowly!¡± Zhao Yu warned.


    ¡°Why is it so slippery!¡± Wang Qi sounded like she was about to cry.


    Zhao Yu knew that the path was not difficult to walk. It was clearly Wang Qi who was so frightened that she could not walk. She could only watch as those pairs of eyes approached.


    Zhao Yu knew that the odds were against her this time.


    Pa!


    A loud sound resounded through the night sky.


    The few pairs of eyes gradually retreated when they heard such a loud noise. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the night.


    Wang Qi fell into Zhao Yu¡¯s arms and cried. ¡°Sister Yu, I¡¯m scared, I¡¯m scared.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright. You¡¯re safe now!¡± Zhao Yu comforted Wang Qi and patted her.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Those should be wolves. They have already been scared away!¡± It turned out that the shot just now was fired by Li Chen. Thanks to Li Chen¡¯s shot, the wolves were scared away.


    Li Chen rushed over with a torch. At this moment, Wang Qi already fell limp in Zhao Yu¡¯s arms. Li Chen looked down and happened to see the circle of black lace on Wang Qi¡¯s collar from this angle.


    Li Chen quickly shifted his gaze away from this scene. ¡®This isn¡¯t something I should be watching,¡¯ he thought to himself.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to our fire. It¡¯s safe there.¡±


    After saying that, he reached out to help Wang Qi up, but when he thought of their opinions, Li Chen retracted his hands.


    ¡°Help!¡±


    ¡°Somebody help us!¡±


    ¡°Did you hear something?¡± Zhao Yu stopped Li Chen.


    ¡°Listen, listen carefully,¡± Zhao Yu said again. Li Chen went silent.


    Sure enough, a few shouts came from the darkness.


    ¡°We heard it just now, and now we are hearing it again.¡±


    ¡°There are others. I¡¯ll go take a look. You bring Wang Qi back first.¡± Li Chen arranged the next operation. If he brought Zhao Yu and Wang Qi with him now, it would only cause him more trouble.


    Then, Li Chen handed Zhao Yu a torch. After calming down, Wang Qi finally stood up. Zhao Yu helped her back the way they came.


    Li Chen held the torch high with the pistol that came out of his backpack in his hand. He continued to walk in the direction of the sound. Along the way, weeds grew everywhere. Li Chen walked very carefully. After walking for an unknown period of time, the sound became louder and louder.


    Finally, he reached the place where the sound came from. Li Chen hid in the grass at the side. The sound came from a tree, but the leaves blocked Li Chen¡¯s vision. He did not know who was on the tree.


    At the base of the tree, a few wolves were already waiting to enjoy the food. One was already climbing up the tree in anticipation, but for now, they were safe on the tree. After all, wolves couldn¡¯t climb trees.


    ¡°Help! Someone save us!¡±


    ¡°Is anyone here?¡±


    Li Chen heard the familiar voices. Could it be Hua Long and Zhang Yang?


    However, the most important thing now was how to save the two of them. Li Chen quickly raised his gun and aimed at the wolves.


    Pa!


    With a crisp gunshot, one of the wolves fell to the ground, and the other wolves fled in fear.


    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to this pistol. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.¡±


    Li Chen quickly went under the tree. He looked up and saw the situation on the tree. Zhang Yang was hugging a branch tightly with trembling legs. Hua Long was fine. After all, he had trained before. He had already climbed to the top of the tree.


    ¡°It¡¯s safe. Come down.¡±


    Li Chen shouted.


    ¡°Ah, who are you? Is it safe now?¡± Zhang Yang asked.


    Then, the two of them slowly climbed down from the tree. They were shocked to see Li Chen in front of them.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you! You saved us!¡± Zhang Yang said.


    ¡°Hmph, spineless wimp. If it weren¡¯t for you, I would have beaten them away long ago,¡± Hua Long said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve peed your pants because of those wolves?¡± Hua Long did not forget to mock Zhang Yang.


    ¡°Stop talking. We can¡¯t stay here for long. I¡¯ll take you to a safe place.¡±


    Li Chen quickly stopped their conversation. Then, he brought Hua Long and Zhang Yang through the dense jungle and returned to the safe place that Li Chen had found.


    When they saw that the people Li Chen brought back were actually Hua Long and Zhang Yang, Wang Qi and Zhao Yu looked at the two of them in surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s you?¡±


    ¡°So it¡¯s you guys¡­¡±


    Everyone gathered at this place again. Li Chen quickly added some firewood to the fire, and the fire burned even brighter.


    Li Chen got everyone to sit around the fire. Everyone could finally sit down and have a good talk.


    ¡°Li Chen, I¡¯m sorry. The two of us shouldn¡¯t have slandered you.¡± Hua Long was the first to open his mouth and apologize to Li Chen.


    ¡°Sister Yu, we made up those things. Li Chen didn¡¯t do those things at all. We only said it because of the internship.¡± Hua Long¡¯s words made Zhao Yu angry.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Zhao Yu was so angry that she could not speak.


    ¡°Look, the truth is out now,¡± Li Chen said. Now, the matter was finally clear. They were clearly making up false claims.


    ¡°That day, I was very angry and wanted to go over and argue, but I didn¡¯t expect to cause trouble for Wang Qi and the others. At that time, Wang Qi came over. I wanted her to explain to you, but there was a sudden bump which caused me to fall.¡±


    Li Chen also explained why he had touched Wang Qi on the plane.


    ¡°Then how about that time when I woke up?¡± Wang Qi was like a curious baby as she started to ask about that day.


    ¡°That¡¯s because you fainted. I wanted to save you, but I didn¡¯t expect you to wake up at that exact moment,¡± Li Chen explained.


    The matter was finally clear. It turned out that they had wrongly blamed Li Chen.


    ¡°Li Chen, I¡¯m sorry for wrongly blaming you.¡± Zhao Yu also apologized sincerely.


    ¡°Alright, alright. It¡¯s fine now that the matter has been resolved. Everyone, hurry up and rest. There¡¯s a fire here, so it¡¯s safe for the time being.¡±


    Li Chen quickly brought more firewood and added them to the fire. At the same time, he surrounded the fire with mud to ensure that the fire would not come out.


    ¡°You guys can go to sleep. We have let Li Chen down. We will be the lookouts.¡± Hua Long pulled Zhang Yang over and looked at Zhang Yang.


    ¡°Yeah, you guys go to sleep.¡±


    Zhang Yang looked at Hua Long and hesitated.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we take turns? Just keep an eye on Wang Qi and Sister Yu,¡± Li Chen suggested.


    ¡°Don¡¯t argue with us. It¡¯s all thanks to you. If it hadn¡¯t been for you, we might have died.¡±


    Hua Long was still so domineering. He directly rejected Li Chen¡¯s suggestion. Seeing this, Li Chen did not say anything else.


    Everyone did not reject Zhang Yang¡¯s offer and fell asleep under the watchful eyes of Hua Long and Zhang Yang. After all, it had been a tiring day.

 Chapter 10

    Early in the morning, the sun shone into the forest. Li Chen was the first to wake up.


    Beside him were Wang Qi and Zhao Yu. They were still sleeping soundly when Li Chen arrived at the seaside.


    Meanwhile, Hua Long and Zhang Yang had already arrived at the beach. When they saw Li Chen coming over, they quickly ran over.


    ¡°Li Chen, what do you think we should do next?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it later. I¡¯ll go look for food first. You guys should come and look for some too.¡±


    Under Li Chen¡¯s guidance, Hua Long and Zhang Yang caught a lot of fish. With their help, it was much easier for Li Chen to move around and catch more fish.


    ¡°Send the fish back first. I¡¯ll go take a look around,¡± Li Chen said to the two of them.


    ¡°Alright, then go and come back quickly. Be careful,¡± Hua Long said.


    Li Chen went to the forest on the other side alone. He originally wanted to come here to take a look, but because it was too late, he did not come.


    Walking into the forest, the colorful things in the distance attracted Li Chen¡¯s attention. He quickly ran over.


    Sure enough, it was a parachute. At the same time, there was something that had fallen with the plane, but no one knew where the person who had parachuted had gone. In other words, there were still many survivors on this island, but because the island was too big, they had not met.


    Li Chen quickly rummaged through the items that had fallen and found some female clothes inside. He immediately collected them. After all, there was still Wang Qi and Zhao Yu, especially after considering Wang Qi¡¯s flight attendant uniform.


    When Li Chen returned to the temporary home, he saw that they had already processed the fish and roasted it.


    ¡°I realized that there were other people here as well. They might have parachuted here too, but we can¡¯t find them now.¡±


    ¡°There are others? In other words, we have companions?¡± Wang Qi said excitedly.


    ¡°My good sister might be fine too. I¡¯m so happy.¡± When she heard this news, Wang Qi was the happiest.


    Then, Li Chen took out the things he had found. Some clothes, daily necessities, and a parachute.


    ¡°Li Chen, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so powerful to be able to find these supplies.¡±


    ¡°Ah, you¡¯re really capable. And these fish, thanks to you, we won¡¯t go hungry.¡±


    Wang Qi and Zhao Yu praised. This praise made Hua Long and Zhang Yang feel very uncomfortable because they felt that Li Chen had stolen the limelight.


    ¡°Li Chen, we have to find a place to shelter ourselves from the wind and rain,¡± Hua Long said.


    ¡°Besides, we can¡¯t just sit here and wait for death. We have to do something.¡±


    Hua Long raised his opinion again, hoping to increase his presence.


    ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s go out and take a look. Let¡¯s see if we can find anything else.¡± Li Chen agreed to Hualong and the others¡¯ thoughts.


    Everyone took advantage of the day to split up their work, thinking of using this time to see if they could find anything useful.


    Wang Qi and Zhao Yu chose to follow Li Chen. Li Chen quickly brought the two of them to the place where he found supplies in the morning.


    At the same time, Hua Long brought Zhang Yang into the forest.


    ¡°Hua Long, where are we going?¡± Zhang Yang asked softly.


    ¡°Where are we going? Of course, we¡¯re going to find a spot that belongs to us. Don¡¯t tell me you think we have to listen to Li Chen all the time?¡±


    ¡°Pay more attention. See if you can find a good spot.¡±


    Hua Long reminded Zhang Yang, and they went deeper into the forest.


    ¡°Hua Long, look! There¡¯s a cave over there!¡± Zhang Yang pointed at a cave and said to Hua Long.


    Following the direction that Zhang Yang pointed, there was indeed a cave at the end of the road. ¡°This is it!¡± Hua Long said confidently. He felt that this place would be a good place for him in the future.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡± Hua Long pushed Zhang Yang, wanting him to take the lead so that he would enter first.


    ¡°No, I dare not!¡± Zhang Yang refused, but he was still pushed in by Hua Long.


    The cave was very wide and could accommodate many people. Hua Long looked at the situation in the cave and was extremely proud.


    ¡°Should we tell Li Chen and the others?¡±


    ¡°Are you stupid? If you tell them, will this spot still be ours?¡± Hua Long stopped Zhang Yang. Then, they marked the cave so that they would not be able to find it in the future.


    At this moment, Li Chen had brought Wang Qi and Zhao Yu to collect a lot of supplies here. Wang Qi and Zhao Yu carefully packed everything.


    ¡°Look, what¡¯s that?¡± Wang Qi pointed in a direction.


    Li Chen and Zhao Yu looked in the direction Wang Qi was pointing. There were a few colorful cloth strips there, as if they were tied to something. Li Chen quickly ran over.


    The thing was placed on a tree. Li Chen quickly climbed up and took it off before handing it to Zhao Yu.


    ¡°From the looks of it, there are indeed other people here, but we can¡¯t find them now.¡±


    Zhao Yu flipped through the marks left behind by others and said thoughtfully.


    ¡°What? There are others?¡± Wang Qi¡¯s eyes widened.


    Li Chen was even more certain that there were other survivors here. Their next mission was to find other survivors.


    Li Chen, Wang Qi, and the others brought everything back to the place Li Chen had found at the last minute.


    ¡°I think we can change spots and build a shelter that belongs to us,¡± Li Chen suggested.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. It will be so cool. Plus, we don¡¯t have to stay outdoors anymore,¡± Wang Qi said happily.


    ¡°Indeed, we should have a shelter.¡± Zhao Yu agreed with Li Chen¡¯s suggestion.


    On the way, the three of them discussed building a shelter. It was already noon when they returned to their camp.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you get anything after going out for the entire morning?¡± Wang Qi said angrily as she looked at Hua Long and Zhang Yang, who had returned empty-handed.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention the forest we went to. There¡¯s nothing there,¡± Hua Long quickly explained.


    ¡°Is the food ready? I¡¯ve been out for a day and I¡¯m starving,¡± Hua Long began to instruct.


    Li Chen had already prepared something to eat. Hua Long took it and finished it without saying anything, leaving Li Chen and the others staring at him blankly.


    After Hua Long finished eating, he wiped his mouth.


    ¡°Li Chen, why did you make so little? It¡¯s not even enough.¡±


    ¡°Remember to make more next time. We¡¯re counting on you. Don¡¯t starve us.¡±


    Li Chen did not answer Hua Long¡¯s words, but Wang Qi and Zhao Yu were very angry. However, because of the current situation, they could not say anything.


    ¡°In the afternoon, we¡¯ll go¡­¡± Wang Qi was about to speak.


    ¡°Ahem.¡± Zhao Yu quickly coughed a few times to stop Wang Qi from continuing.


    Wang Qi held back what she wanted to say.

 Chapter 11

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Sister Yu, I want to go to the toilet,¡± Wang Qi said to Zhao Yu.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Zhao Yu understood what Wang Qi meant.


    The two of them walked into the forest together and arrived at a relatively safe place. Here, Wang Qi finally began to speak.


    ¡°Sister Yu, I want to say we should find a new place to stay in the afternoon. Why don¡¯t you let me say it?¡± Wang Qi looked aggrieved.


    ¡°Are you stupid? Didn¡¯t you see Hua Long¡¯s face? I dare say that nothing good will come out of telling him that.¡± As expected, due to the fact that Zhao Yu was slightly more mature, she had a better eye for things. She easily noticed that there was a problem with Hua Long.


    When Wang Qi heard that the issue was with Hua Long, she didn¡¯t say anything else and only looked at Zhao Yu firmly.


    ¡°Sister Yu, I¡¯ll listen to you!¡±


    When the two of them returned, Li Chen had already packed up and was discussing where to go next.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I want to criticize you, Li Chen, but where did you get that knife from? Did you bring a knife on the plane?¡±


    Hua Long could see the problem at a glance. Among everyone, only Li Chen found a knife while everyone else couldn¡¯t find one.


    ¡°Oh, this. I don¡¯t know either. It just appeared in my bag,¡± Li Chen muttered to himself as he held his knife.


    ¡°By the way, did you guys receive a questionnaire on the plane?¡± Li Chen suddenly thought of the questionnaire and quickly asked everyone.


    ¡°Questionnaire?¡± Everyone immediately became excited.


    Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu said disappointedly, ¡°I deleted it. I thought it was a fraudulent message.¡± After saying that, Zhao Yu felt very regretful and did not continue.


    ¡°Questionnaire? I deleted it too¡­¡± Wang Qi said in disappointment.


    After everyone¡¯s conversation, it turned out that Li Chen¡¯s things were all given to him by the questionnaire. Only Li Chen filled in the questionnaire when he boarded the plane, and Wang Qi and Zhao Yu did not.


    ¡°What about the two of you?¡± Everyone looked at Hua Long and Zhang Yang.


    ¡°Both of us? I don¡¯t think we got the message at all. Why did you guys get it?¡± Hua Long kept scratching his fingers as he spoke. His words were less confident. It was obvious that he was lying.


    ¡°In that case, we can¡¯t count on the things given to us. Let¡¯s go find food.¡± When he heard that no one had filled in the questionnaire, Li Chen revealed some disappointment.


    Everyone came to the beach outside the forest, hoping to obtain some food.


    ¡°By the way, we haven¡¯t finished looking at the forest over there. Let¡¯s go there again,¡± Hua Long said. Before Li Chen and the others could answer, he ran into the forest with Zhang Yang.


    When they arrived at the cave again, Hua Long shouted happily.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this day to come. You¡¯re all mine!¡±


    At this point, Hua Long couldn¡¯t help but think of Wang Qi, who was still wearing the air stewardess uniform. He thought of her curvaceous figure and thought of how Wang Qi would have to listen to him in the future and follow his instructions.


    ¡°Hua Long, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you so happy?¡± Zhang Yang asked in confusion.


    Hua Long quickly took out his backpack and took out what he had chosen.


    ¡°Look! What¡¯s this!¡± Hua Long took out a pistol and a Tang sword.


    ¡°At that time, I also filled in the questionnaire. I thought pistols and a Tang sword are what we need the most when we go to the wilderness to survive. The others are all trash. No fool would choose a flight attendant, right?¡± Hua Long said proudly.


    When Zhang Yang saw the sword and gun that Hua Long had taken out, he was terrified. He was afraid that Hua Long would do something to him in this cave.


    ¡°What did you choose? Don¡¯t tell me you chose a flight attendant? That¡¯s fine too. It¡¯s just nice and comfortable.¡± Hua Long mocked Zhang Yang.


    ¡°I¡­ I thought it was a scam, so I deleted it. Who would be so bored to go to the wilderness to survive? Isn¡¯t it good to play games and sing at home?¡± Zhang Yang replied, his eyes gradually dimming.


    ¡°Alright, then follow me in the future. I guarantee that you will have food and drink. When the time comes, Li Chen will just be our coolie. As for Wang Qi, give her to me. You should suffer a little and choose Zhao Yu.¡± Hua Long was smug.


    After that, Hua Long carefully wrapped up his belongings and hid them all in the cave. Then, he went out to break some branches and brought them back with Zhang Yang.


    Li Chen, Wang Qi, and the others returned to the place where they had seen the mark. There were still some supplies there that needed to be collected. After all, in the wilderness, anything could be used.


    ¡°What do you think of that spot?¡± Zhao Yu pointed happily.


    At this moment, she was standing on high ground and saw a suitable location in the distance. Li Chen and Wang Qi quickly came over to check. It was a relatively flat plot with its back against the cliff. The terrain was also high which was very suitable for building a shelter.


    ¡°I think that spot is great!¡± Wang Qi was the first to voice her opinion.


    Li Chen looked around and felt that building the shelter there was a good choice, so they discussed it.


    ¡°Then we¡¯ll move over tomorrow morning?¡± Li Chen asked.


    ¡°No, there¡¯s no hurry. Listen to me and let¡¯s wait a little longer.¡± This time, Zhao Yu stopped Li Chen. She firmly expressed that they should listen to her.


    ¡°Why?¡± Li Chen asked in confusion.


    ¡°Because of Hua Long and Zhang Yang, I suspect that they have other plans.¡± Zhao Yu was indeed someone who had experienced the difficulties of the world. The little thoughts in people¡¯s hearts could not escape her eyes.


    Since Zhao Yu did not agree to move over immediately, Li Chen could only stop thinking about it. They saw that there were wild fruits nearby, so they picked some and brought them back to their previous camp.


    ¡°Why are we eating fruits every day? Did you guys secretly eat outside?¡± Hua Long questioned impatiently.


    ¡°Where¡¯s the fish? You guys secretly ate the fish, right? I want to eat roasted fish. Li Chen, go get it for me,¡± Hua Long instructed.


    Li Chen did not move. As for Zhao Yu, she walked forward and slapped the fruit from Hua Long¡¯s hand.


    ¡°We are already in this dire situation so control your dog-like temper. If you want to eat, go find it yourself. You still have the cheek to ask for food with your palms wide open.¡± It was obvious that Zhao Yu was angry. as shown from her heaving chest.


    ¡°Who do you think you are? Because I listened to you during my internship in the company, I should also listen to you now?¡± Hua Long was not afraid of Zhao Yu.


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that you still have some looks, I wouldn¡¯t have spoiled you. Sooner or later, you¡¯ll have to beg me.¡±


    ¡°You¡­¡± Zhao Yu was so angered by Hua Long¡¯s humiliating words that she could not speak.


    ¡°Hua Long, it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know our current situation. How can we get through the difficulties together like this?¡± Li Chen also said.


    ¡°Whatever. Anyway, I don¡¯t care. You better serve me well. Otherwise, you should not have saved me.¡±


    Hua Long said. Then, he lay down under a tree and began to doze off.


    Everyone looked at him speechlessly.

 Chapter 12

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Seeing Hua Long¡¯s shamelessness, everyone was at a loss. Li Chen looked at Wang Qi and Zhao Yu and they tacitly walked to the beach.


    Zhang Yang watched as Li Chen and the others walked away. He also wanted to follow them out.


    ¡°Where are you going? Do you want to die too?¡± Hua Long glared at Zhang Yang.


    ¡°Hua Long, isn¡¯t this a little too much?¡± Zhang Yang asked carefully.


    ¡°What do you know? If I don¡¯t establish my prestige now, what will happen in the future?¡±


    Hua Long mumbled to himself and closed his eyes. Zhang Yang had no choice but to sit beside another tree.


    ¡°If I had known earlier, I should have let them be fed to the wolves. Hmph! I¡¯m so angry!¡± Wang Qi said angrily.


    ¡°Li Chen, what do you plan to do?¡± Zhao Yu asked.


    At this moment, Li Chen realized that Zhao Yu was indeed different. When something big happened, she could always give him good advice and listen to his opinion. Li Chen liked this kind of intellectual beauty very much.


    ¡°We¡¯re classmates. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to make things so awkward. Why don¡¯t we leave them?¡±


    ¡°I agree!¡± When Wang Qi heard that she was going to leave them, she raised her hands excitedly. The two meatballs were squeezed tighter because she raised her hands, leaving Li Chen to just stare at them.


    ¡°Then we¡¯ll move out. We should move out openly. At the same time, we¡¯ll make our views clear.¡± Zhao Yu voiced her opinion.


    Move away!


    When they returned to their temporary camp, Hua Long and Zhang Yang were still sleeping against the tree.


    Li Chen extinguished a fire first, leaving only a log with sparks. He planned to take this to their new camp. This way, it would be much more convenient.


    Wang Qi and Zhao Yu quickly packed up their things and started to move. The sound woke Hua Long and Zhang Yang up.


    ¡°Where are you guys doing?¡± Hua Long asked.


    ¡°What are we doing? Of course we are moving away. Stay away from you two bandits!¡± Wang Qi said.


    ¡°Alright, Li Chen. I didn¡¯t expect you to do this for me. I¡¯ll move out too.¡±


    Hua Long immediately got up and pulled Zhang Yang up, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll go wherever they go.¡±


    Seeing Hua Long¡¯s malicious actions, Li Chen could only say, ¡°Go, we all go.¡±


    Just like that, Li Chen and the others moved their things to their new place. Hua Long and Zhang Yang followed them. They wanted to follow Li Chen and the others closely like a bug.


    Li Chen looked at the empty space below the cliff. The sky was above his head. He was very worried about what to do if it rained. At this moment, Zhao Yu also walked over.


    ¡°You don¡¯t want us to sleep in the open, do you?¡± Zhao Yu asked.


    ¡°We should build a shelter,¡± Li Chen said casually.


    Yes, they had to build a shelter. The three of them immediately went to the forest. Li Chen took a fancy to a few thick trees and used these trees as support points. After spreading leaves on top, the shelter would be done.


    Li Chen took out his axe from his backpack.


    ¡°There¡¯s an ax?¡± Wang Qi said in surprise.


    ¡°I can get whatever I want from my backpack. I¡¯m curious too. Maybe it¡¯s because of that questionnaire. It¡¯s a pity you didn¡¯t fill it out.¡±


    With an axe, it was extremely convenient to cut down trees. Soon, the trees were cut down.


    ¡°Wang Qi, follow me. We¡¯re going to collect leaves.¡± Zhao Yu planned to bring Wang Qi to collect leaves while Li Chen transported the wood back.


    ¡°Here, take it.¡± Li Chen handed them a knife.


    Soon, they prepared the materials and returned to where they were just now. With the help of Wang Qi and Zhao Yu, Li Chen quickly built the framework and spread the leaves. Everything was ready.


    ¡°Well done. Keep up the good work,¡± Hua Long said and went inside. The shelter, which looked like a tent, was small to begin with. Once inside, Hua Long lay flat on his back, taking up most of the space.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Wang Qi stomped her feet in anger.


    ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s go find something to eat.¡± Zhao Yu stopped Wang Qi and came out to find something to eat.


    As they walked along the cliff, they saw a few parachutes. Li Chen quickly went to collect them, but parachutes were too difficult to obtain. He could only place these things under the tree first for future needs.


    ¡°Look, there!¡± This time, Wang Qi discovered the abnormality first.


    Everyone looked over. People and smoke could be seen in the distance!


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Li Chen said. Then, he took out the pistol from his bag and led Wang Qi and Zhao Yu over.


    Although it looked very close, it was actually very far away. After walking for an unknown period of time, they finally arrived at the place where smoke was coming from. Li Chen asked Wang Qi and Zhao Yu to hide in the grass.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go over and take a look for myself. Don¡¯t make a sound,¡± Li Chen instructed.


    ¡°You have to be careful. Be safe,¡± Wang Qi quickly said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have a gun.¡± Li Chen walked over without looking back.


    Li Chen bent down and lowered his height to avoid being discovered too early. This was because he could not guarantee that there were no savages or monsters beside the fire.


    As he slowly approached, Li Chen heard someone talking.


    ¡°Sigh, what should we do? I wonder if there¡¯s anyone else here.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Who knows how many survivors there were when we landed here?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re not going to die on this island, right?¡±


    The pessimistic voices from the crowd let Li Chen know that these people were from their plane. There were actually survivors, and there were many of them.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. We can escape!¡± Li Chen shouted. When everyone heard this, they instantly raised their heads and looked at Li Chen in shock.


    ¡°There are still living people here!¡±


    They surrounded Li Chen excitedly and looked at him. They were extremely excited. There were actually other people on this deserted island.


    ¡°Come quickly. They¡¯re all here.¡± Li Chen quickly called out to Wang Qi and Zhao Yu, who were hiding in the grass. When they heard Li Chen¡¯s shout, the two of them knew that they were safe, so they quickly walked over.


    ¡°There¡¯s more!¡± Everyone was even more excited when they saw the three newcomers. After all, on this deserted island, the more people there were, the stronger they would be, and the higher the chances of survival.


    ¡°How is everyone? Is everyone alright?¡± Li Chen asked.


    ¡°We are fine. Young man, where did you fall? How did you find us?¡± one of them asked Li Chen.


    ¡°Us? Our shelter is just done, so we¡¯re out looking for food. Then, we saw your mark and came to look for you. We also saw the smoke coming from your camp.¡± Zhao Yu explained the whole story.


    ¡°What? Your shelter is ready? We still don¡¯t have a place to stay until now, so let¡¯s go to your place.¡±


    ¡°Yes, to your place!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll follow you from now on!¡±


    Li Chen was shocked. After all, he did not expect these people to think he was very powerful just because he had built a shelter.

 Chapter 13

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Everyone followed Li Chen back to the shelter he had built.


    ¡°Who are they?¡± Hua Long was extremely surprised to see Li Chen bringing back a group of people. He did not expect there to be other survivors.


    ¡°This is all of us. This place is too small, but if everyone is really willing to come, we can clean up this place.¡±


    Li Chen suggested. Unexpectedly, everyone agreed. According to the number of people, some were in charge of cutting trees, some were in charge of finding food, and some were in charge of arranging the leaves.


    Li Chen found many pieces of shale and smashed them into pieces. After polishing them, he finished making stone axes one by one. With the stone axes, it was much easier to cut trees.


    Soon, they moved everything back and prepared to start building their common shelter. Moreover, the people who were looking for food brought back more wild fruits, which filled them up.


    At this point, the only thing they lacked now was fishing equipment. The efficiency by just relying on Li Chen¡¯s harpoon was too low. It could not effectively guarantee the number of fish.


    Just as Li Chen was thinking, Wang Qi called him over.


    ¡°Li Chen, let me ask you something. Why don¡¯t you make some fish baskets?¡±


    Li Chen had thought about what Wang Qi had said, but there were no suitable materials at the moment. He did not find any vines to make a fish basket. There were only hard branches, so he could only tie a frame.


    ¡°Look, is this it?¡± Li Chen handed the frame he had already tied to Wang Qi.


    ¡°Uh¡­ If only there was a layer of mesh on it,¡± Wang Qi thoughtfully said.


    ¡°Right!¡± Wang Qi suddenly thought of something. She quickly searched in her backpack.


    ¡°Here!¡± Wang Qi handed Li Chen a few bags. They looked brand new and unused.


    Li Chen took the bags from Wang Qi in surprise. He took a look and saw that it was stockings. Li Chen was immediately stunned. Wang Qi must have watched too many wilderness survival movies. Only they would bring these to attract attention.


    ¡°It¡¯s brand new. I¡¯ve never worn it before,¡± Wang Qi quickly explained.


    Li Chen took it and opened it. He covered it with the frame that he had already tied up. This way, the fish basket was ready. He only needed to throw them into the sea and place them in with bait, after which they would just have to wait for the fish to come in.


    ¡°I really have to thank you this time. It¡¯s all thanks to you,¡± Li Chen said.


    With the fish basket, the efficiency of catching fish was indeed much higher. There were a lot of fish inside. Li Chen quickly caught them and grilled them to eat.


    At that moment, Hua Long thought of something. He quickly called Zhang Yang to follow him. As he walked, he seemed to be thinking about something.


    When Hua Long arrived at the cave that he had found, he quickly took out the knife that he had hidden long ago. Then, he went to the forest and started cutting trees.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zhang Yang saw that the usually lazy Hua Long had suddenly started chopping down trees.


    ¡°What do you know? Come and help. If we don¡¯t take the opportunity to seal the cave entrance, what will we do in the future?¡± Hua Long did not stop what he was doing. Soon, he cut down two thick trees.


    Hua Long and Zhang Yang dragged the tree trunk to the entrance of the cave. Then, they dug a deep hole in the cave and placed the tree trunk inside. They used the tree trunks as support to build the wall outside.


    After the tree trunk was properly erected, Hua Long kicked it a few times and said, ¡°It¡¯s quite sturdy. Wouldn¡¯t it be safer to seal the entrance of the cave like this?¡± As he said that, he even asked Zhang Yang a question, but Zhang Yang did not say anything.


    The rest of the party had been busy for the entire day. Some of them managed to harvest some wild fruits, some moved back to the tree trunk, and some even managed to get some fresh water. Only Hua Long and Zhang Yang came back empty-handed.


    ¡°Hey, get me a glass of water. I¡¯m so thirsty!¡± Hua Long sat down in the shelter and began to drink. No one paid him any attention, as if he didn¡¯t exist. After all, there were other people around, and no one personally knew Hua Long.


    ¡°Hey, I¡¯m talking to you, the one with glasses!¡± Seeing that the person did not move, Hua Long raised his voice.


    ¡°What? You¡¯re calling me?¡± That person reacted and asked Hua Long.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m calling you. You deaf fool, get me some water!¡± Hua Long shouted. This shout attracted the others, who heard the commotion and hurried over.


    ¡°Who are you? Why should I listen to you?¡± the bespectacled man asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Who is he? What right does he have to order people around?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. How can there be such a person?¡±


    Everyone started discussing. When everyone saw Hua Long like this, they did not want to spoil him. After all, it was very difficult to survive now.


    ¡°You can ask me to pour you some water, but tell me what you did today.¡± The bespectacled man asked Hua Long about his laziness. Hua Long had gone to set up his secret base today, so he had not done anything here.


    ¡°What did I do? Why should I do it? You can abandon me. I didn¡¯t force you to accept me,¡± Hua Long said stubbornly.


    ¡°Alright, since he didn¡¯t do anything, we won¡¯t give him anything to eat.¡± Someone below started to jeer.


    ¡°Yeah, no work, no food.¡±


    At this moment, Li Chen heard the commotion and hurriedly walked over to check on the situation.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Li Chen looked at the angry crowd and asked in confusion.


    ¡°Li Chen, you came at the right time. Judge him. He doesn¡¯t do any work and even orders other people around,¡± someone below said.


    Li Chen knew that it was Hua Long who did it. Li Chen could only go forward and persuade Hua Long. However, Hua Long ignored Li Chen and rejected him.


    ¡°Li Chen, we¡¯ll listen to you, but you have to listen to us on this matter. We won¡¯t feed the two of them today.¡±


    ¡°Yes! You¡¯re right!¡±


    Everyone began to jeer. Li Chen stopped everyone and quickly got the others to bring out the food so that everyone could eat first. After all, they had been tired for the entire day.


    ¡°Hmph! If you don¡¯t want to give me something to eat, then forget it! Let¡¯s go! I¡¯ll bring you to find something to eat!¡± Hua Long shouted at Zhang Yang to follow him.


    When they saw Hua Long and Zhang Yang leaving the forest, no one stopped them. They were still discussing what they had seen and heard in the forest today and which fruit was better.


    Hua Long and Zhang Yang went outside and wandered aimlessly on the beach. There was nothing on the empty beach. Suddenly, Hua Long thought of something.


    So he called Zhang Yang over to the shade of a rock.


    ¡°I¡¯ve thought of something!¡± said Hua Long excitedly.


    ¡°What did you think of?¡± Zhang Yang asked curiously, ¡°Do you have a way to find food?¡±


    ¡°Are you stupid? You only know how to eat. Why don¡¯t you eat until you die? We¡¯ll go back later and you¡¯ll do as I say!¡±


    Hua Long confidently brought Zhang Yang back to the shelter. The people in the shelter were resting. When they saw Hua Long return, they could not help but tease him.


    ¡°Yo, Young Master, you¡¯re back after dinner?¡±


    ¡°How long do you plan to sleep today?¡±

 Chapter 14

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Hua Long snorted and went back to his place to lie down.


    After a while, Hua Long began his devious plan.


    ¡°What if there are wild beasts at night in this place? After all, it¡¯s so bare here.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. What are we going to do tonight?¡± Zhang Yang quickly echoed.


    Some people listened to Hua Long¡¯s words and began to look around. Indeed, this place had been modified, but there was still only one roof. Other than the four corners of the wood, there was no other cover.


    ¡°That makes sense. Let¡¯s talk to Li Chen.¡± Someone stood up and went to Li Chen to tell him about this situation.


    At this moment, Li Chen was looking for suitable trees outside, hoping to cut them all down and move them back to strengthen the surrounding walls. According to Li Chen¡¯s plan, he still had to build a high wall around them to be safe.


    However, it was already too late. He probably could only get one roof done today.


    ¡°Li Chen, come back quickly. Everyone has something to ask you.¡± Someone anxiously found Li Chen and asked him to go back quickly.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What happened?¡± Li Chen asked.


    ¡°Just come back quickly. You¡¯ll know when you get back.¡±


    Li Chen was pulled back. As soon as Li Chen returned, everyone immediately surrounded him.


    ¡°Li Chen, you want us to build this? What should we do tonight? There¡¯s no fence around here at all.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious. I just looked at the surrounding trees. Tomorrow, we¡¯ll cut down more trees and strengthen our walls. At that time, we¡¯ll really build our own house.¡±


    ¡°Tomorrow? What are we going to do tonight?¡± Hua Long asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t even know what¡¯s going on here. There are wolves here,¡± Hua Long continued.


    ¡°We can light a fire. With fire, those wolves won¡¯t dare to come over,¡± Li Chen quickly explained.


    Seeing that the situation had reached its peak, Hua Long quickly stood up and said happily.


    ¡°I think everyone should pay attention to safety. It¡¯s safer to find a cave than to build a house yourself.¡±


    When everyone heard Hua Long mention a cave, they immediately felt that his words were true. There was only one entrance to the cave, which was much safer than this open place.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Why don¡¯t we find a cave?¡±


    ¡°If we found a cave, we wouldn¡¯t have to cut down trees and build houses now.¡±


    Seeing that some people were already starting to waver, Hua Long felt that the time was ripe.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be honest with everyone. Do you really think I didn¡¯t do anything today? Actually, I¡¯ve already thought of this problem. Zhang Yang and I found a cave in the forest.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, Zhang Yang and I have already sealed the entrance with trees, leaving only one entrance. I¡¯m sure everyone knows that it¡¯s safe.¡±


    Hua Long¡¯s words made the others discuss it directly. Indeed, it was much easier to find a cave now, especially a cave with only one entrance.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think our Li Chen wants to leave this place. How about this? Whoever feels that the cave is better, follow me.¡±


    Hua Long gave Zhang Yang a look, and Zhang Yang immediately understood what he meant.


    ¡°Although that cave isn¡¯t big enough to accommodate a lot of people, it¡¯s indeed very safe.¡±


    By the time Hua Long finished speaking, some of them had already started looking for Hua Long. They obviously wanted to go to the cave.


    ¡°Damn it, he took them away just like that,¡± Li Chen said angrily.


    ¡°That¡¯s great. With Hualong¡¯s personality, those people will hate him sooner or later. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Zhao Yu quickly comforted him.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. The fewer people there are, the more peaceful this place will be,¡± Wang Qi said.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough that we have you!¡± Wang Qi added.


    After a period of discussion, all the survivors were divided into two groups. One group chose to follow Hua Long to the relatively safe cave, while the other group chose to stay with Li Chen.


    However, there was a huge difference in numbers. Only a few people chose to follow Li Chen, while there were dozens of people who went to Hua Long.


    After a short commotion, the people who followed Hua Long left just like that, leaving only Li Chen and the others.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys leaving?¡± Li Chen asked.


    ¡°And follow Hua Long? We¡¯ve already seen through his character.¡±


    ¡°Yes, we will follow you. We will survive here. It¡¯s better this way.¡±


    Therefore, the remaining few people planned to continue building their camp as Li Chen had said and continue to strengthen the defense of their camp.


    Everyone followed Hua Long for a long time before finally arriving at the cave.


    ¡°Everyone, please take a look. This is the cave I found,¡± Hua Long said proudly.


    The cave entrance was huge, but it had been blocked by wood, leaving only a small entrance. After the cave was blocked, a row of stones was added to the outside to make it stronger.


    Everyone was stunned and followed Hua Long in.


    The cave was very wide. Compared to the frame Li Chen had built, this place was several times better.


    ¡°Since everyone chose to follow me and since I was the one who discovered this cave, everyone has to listen to me.¡± Hua Long began to speak his thoughts as if he was thinking about something.


    ¡°So what do you want to do?¡± someone asked Hua Long when they realized what the problem was.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to do anything. I just want everyone to listen to me and do as I say.¡± Hua Long didn¡¯t say anything else.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, close the door!¡± Hua Long ordered.


    Zhang Yang quickly ran over and closed the door. Everyone was locked in the cave. Then, Hua Long raised his sword.


    ¡°Everyone, be quiet. With this saber, you have to listen even if you don¡¯t want to!¡±


    Then, Hua Long began to plunder everyone¡¯s belongings. He took everything for himself. Those without anything would only die if they went out.


    ¡°Quick, the two of you go find water for me. The two of you go find food for me. If you can¡¯t find it, don¡¯t come back.¡±


    At this moment, everyone realized that they had been tricked by Hua Long into coming here. They began to think of ways to escape, but only Hua Long had been here before. Since they had never been around here before, it was easy to get lost if they went out.


    ¡°Hua Long, that¡¯s not a good idea. The consequences of your actions might bite you back!¡± Zhang Yang went up and tried to persuade Hua Long.


    ¡°Now that we¡¯re all on this island, it¡¯s very difficult for us to survive. If you do this¡­¡±


    ¡°F*ck off! Who do you think you are to lecture me?¡± Hua Long slapped Zhang Yang to the ground.


    After Zhang Yang got slapped, he did not say anything else. A seed of thought sprouted in his mind, and that was to run away from Hua Long. The further away he was, the better. Otherwise, something bad would happen sooner or later.


    When the people who came with him saw Hua Long¡¯s shameless behavior, they no longer yearned for safety in the shelter. They only wanted to escape and find a good place to survive. At that moment, they thought of Li Chen.


    Li Chen had already built a wooden house over here. Now, he was building the outer wall. They had found mud and wanted to build a wall with mud and stones to resist the attacks of wild beasts.


    Later, when Zhang Yang brought a few people out to look for resources, they surrounded Zhang Yang.

 Chapter 15

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Everyone surrounded Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was confused.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, I don¡¯t think you want to be a bad guy like Hua Long, right? Why don¡¯t we run? We¡¯ll fight with you!¡± Everyone clamored.


    ¡°Yes, we¡¯ll fight with you!¡±


    ¡°We want to go back to Li Chen¡¯s place.¡±


    In fact, Zhang Yang felt that it was inappropriate for Hua Long to do such things. He had warned Hua Long, but Hua Long did not listen to him. In his heart, he had long wanted to leave Dragon. However, he felt that the time was not right yet.


    Everyone returned to Hua Long¡¯s cave.


    ¡°Why did you bring back so little food! What have you been doing all day?¡± Hua Long said angrily when he saw that they had only brought back so little food.


    ¡°Hmph! Who do you think you are, brothers! Attack!¡±


    Everyone went up together and pressed Hua Long to the ground. Then, they quickly took their things and escaped from the cave.


    At the same time, Zhang Yang had also escaped.


    After they came out, everyone made the final decision. Some of them decided to go back and look for Li Chen, while some of them planned to follow Zhang Yang to open up a new place to live.


    When Hua Long saw that the people he had deceived had fled, he was so angry that he cursed in the cave.


    ¡°Hahaha, I didn¡¯t expect this. They aren¡¯t afraid of you at all!¡± Suddenly, a man in a black suit walked over.


    ¡°Who are you? Why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Hua Long looked at the man in front of him in confusion.


    ¡°I think your approach is very similar to mine. Why don¡¯t we cooperate!¡± Then, the man in the suit handed over a brand new pistol. He also had a gun.


    When Hua Long saw this, he was shocked. It turned out that there were people with guns in this group.


    No one knew the name of this man in the black suit. Even the name he used to board the plane was fake. Originally, his goal on this plane was to assassinate someone in the country he was going to. From this, it is obvious that his profession was an assassin.


    ¡°Young man, have you killed anyone before? Do you know how to use a gun?¡± The man in the black suit asked Hua Long.


    Hua Long was also a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. When he met the real deal, he immediately cowered and quickly shook his head.


    ¡°Haha, then this is yours.¡± The suited man threw the pistol to Hua Long.


    Hua Long was secretly delighted. Fortunately, he did not take out his pistol to scare them just now. Now, he had two pistols. On this island, pistols were the king.


    ¡°Tell me, what should we do?¡± Hua Long asked casually as he settled into his seat.


    ¡°What should we do? Obviously we will train the men who remained. Then, we¡¯ll do some robbing. Do we really have to find our own food?¡±


    ¡°Rob?¡±


    ¡°Right!¡±


    The suited man smiled as he spoke. Hua Long was also very proud when he heard that. Since he could not rope them in as his subordinates, he would snatch their food and supplies.


    Hua Long agreed. Then, he brought the suited man and the remaining fierce people out of the cave.


    ¡°Come, help me pass this thing over,¡± Li Chen shouted.


    Wang Qi quickly handed over what Li Chen needed. Ever since those people left, Li Chen and the others had begun to reinforce their current residence. They had already built a wooden house. What¡¯s more, outside the wooden house was a wall made of stones.


    ¡°Li Chen, guess what we found.¡± Someone walked over excitedly.


    ¡°What is it? Why are you so excited?¡± Zhao Yu hurriedly came out and asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s clay!¡± Then, that person took out a piece of yellow clay. Yellow clay was the best material to build with in the wild.


    Li Chen took it and looked at it. With yellow clay, he could build a stone house and even other facilities.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s start preparing to build a stone house!¡± Li Chen said.


    ¡°Ah? Doesn¡¯t that mean we have to tear this place down?¡± Wang Qi said reluctantly.


    ¡°How is that possible? Building a stone house takes a long time. We still need to continue living here.¡±


    Hearing Li Chen¡¯s words, Wang Qi was relieved.


    Having found yellow clay, Li Chen and the others quickly went to get some back. Then, they built a few furnaces in the courtyard. Now, it was finally not a campfire anymore. With a furnace, it was much more convenient.


    While Li Chen and the others were still building their residences, Hua Long and the others followed the suited man and found what they needed in the forest.


    ¡°Let me use your knife,¡± the suited man said.


    Hua Long hesitated. After all, this knife was his tool to scare everyone. He was afraid that the suited man would take the opportunity to snatch his knife. The suited man noticed Hua Long¡¯s hesitation and snorted disdainfully.


    ¡°Help me cut this down.¡± The suited man measured.


    Hua Long raised his knife and quickly cut off the branch according to the suited man¡¯s request.


    ¡°The sap of this plant is highly toxic. As long as it comes into contact with an open wound, the target will immediately die. We only need to collect some and apply it to the arrows we made.¡±


    Hearing the suited man¡¯s words, Hua Long agreed and quickly began to make a bow.


    Finally, they finished making the bows and arrows and smeared them with poison. Next, it was time to find the target of their invasion.


    They targeted Li Chen, whom they had come into contact with from the beginning. They felt that Li Chen¡¯s current development was definitely the best. After such a long time, he must have accumulated some resources.


    However, Hua Long had other plans. He thought of the black silk Wang Qi was wearing, her long legs, and her figure, but especially her appearance. As long as they chased Li Chen away this time, Wang Qi would naturally be his.


    However, Hua Long¡¯s actions were seen by some people. They had not gone far and had originally planned to return to Hua Long¡¯s place. However, when they saw Hua Long and the others¡¯ actions, they were shocked.


    ¡°No, we have to tell Zhang Yang, Li Chen, and the others about this.¡± The crowd began to discuss what they should do.


    ¡°Hua Long has gone completely crazy. He actually wants to use his weapon to kill us. We can¡¯t let him succeed.¡±


    Everyone immediately began to move. Some people began to run in Li Chen¡¯s direction, and their voices alarmed Hua Long and the others.


    ¡°Someone¡¯s here!¡± Hua Long ran over quickly and saw the man running.


    ¡°Give it to me!¡± The suited man took the bow and arrow.


    Then, he drew his bow and aimed. He fired the arrow in one go, but because it wasn¡¯t made properly, it only grazed the skin on the man¡¯s leg and did not hit him.


    The man continued to run towards Li Chen and the others in pain. After running for an unknown period of time, he happened to encounter Li Chen¡¯s men walking over to look for wild vegetables.


    ¡°Go back, it¡¯s dangerous here!¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and bring me back to see Li Chen!¡± The injured man shouted.


    Seeing that the person who came wanted to see Li Chen was injured, the others did not dare to delay and hurriedly brought him to their residence.


    ¡°Li Chen! Come out quickly!¡±

 Chapter 16

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± When Li Chen heard the shout, he hurriedly ran out.


    ¡°Hurry up, this man wants to see you!¡±


    Li Chen saw that the person who came could not live for much longer. ¡°Quick, send him into the house!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need. Li Chen, Hua Long has gone crazy. He¡¯s going to kill people. Run quickly. They¡¯re coming to attack you.¡±


    That person died after saying that. Li Chen looked at that person¡¯s wound and immediately understood that Hua Long had already made a weapon that contained poison.


    ¡°Bury him and thank him,¡± Li Chen said with heartache. Then, the two men carried him out.


    Li Chen quickly called everyone into the wooden house.


    ¡°Hua Long has already made a poisonous weapon and is coming to attack us. We have to be prepared.¡±


    ¡°What should we do? Let¡¯s dig a trap!¡±


    Setting up traps around the perimeter was the simplest method Li Chen had thought of now. After all, Li Chen had never thought of making offensive weapons.


    ¡°We¡¯ll move all the food to the courtyard and continue to reinforce it. We¡¯ll set up traps outside. That¡¯s all we can do for now.¡± Li Chen made his arrangements.


    Everyone did as they were told and immediately began to prepare for Hua Long¡¯s attack. Some were in charge of collecting things, some were in charge of creating traps, and some were in charge of moving things.


    After a short and tense plan, all the steps were arranged properly. As expected, Hua Long and the others still found Li Chen¡¯s place.


    ¡°Brothers, Li Chen is right in front!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go get him alive!¡±


    At the thought of Wang Qi¡¯s black silk, Hua Long was motivated. He could not wait to feel the size of Wang Qi¡¯s hand. He wondered if he could hold it with one hand.


    Hua Long and the others quickened their pace. Just as they were about to run forward¡­


    ¡°Ouch, it hurts so much.¡± A brother let out a miserable cry.


    ¡°Save me, Ah! It hurts so much! Someone save me!¡±


    It turned out that he had accidentally stepped on the trap set up by Li Chen and the others. His foot was pierced by a sharp piece of wood. It was so painful that he cried out and rolled on the ground.


    When Hua Long saw this scene, he knew that Li Chen and the others had already set up traps. If they rashly attacked, their ending would be doomed.


    ¡°Quick, carry this brother away. Let¡¯s go back!¡±


    Hua Long gave the signal to retreat. The suited man was very unhappy. He saw Li Chen and the others in front of him and wanted to take them down in one fell swoop.


    ¡°Who do you think you are? I have the final say here. I can¡¯t bring my brothers to their deaths.¡±


    Hua Long scolded. Then, they carried the injured brother back to the cave. Hua Long saw that the brother¡¯s foot had been pierced by a piece of wood, but fortunately, the wood was not very thick.


    ¡°Brother, bear with it!¡± Hua Long hugged his brother¡¯s leg tightly and pulled out the piece of wood. Then, he tore off a few pieces of his clothes and bandaged the wound.


    That brother had already lost consciousness from the pain. ¡°Quick, get him something delicious to nourish his body,¡± Hua Long instructed.


    ¡°Where¡¯s the rabbit meat we caught? Hurry up and roast it for him to eat. If he¡¯s injured, let him nurture it.¡± At this moment, Hua Long knew that there were not many people under him. He did not want to lose his brothers because of this.


    ¡°They all left. We¡¯re safe!¡± Zhao Yu said happily when she saw Hua Long and the others retreat.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, they¡¯re overestimating themselves!¡± Wang Qi echoed.


    Everyone was extremely excited when they saw that they had defeated Hua Long. That night, they celebrated happily. Li Chen had also seen their problems. They also had to strengthen their training and forge some weapons that belonged to them.


    Moreover, he realized that there was no winter in the climate here, so it was fine to plant some food crops.


    Li Chen told everyone his thoughts. After everyone heard it, they all agreed. Just like that, Li Chen began to lead everyone to develop other aspects.


    On this day, Li Chen brought everyone to an empty space around their residence. There were only a few trees here, which were cut down by Li Chen and others. Then, they used the wood and the stones they collected previously to make a few wooden picks. This way, they could reclaim the land.


    As the roots were dug out, there was nothing left here in the plot. There was only bare land. Compared to other places, this place was filled with soil which would allow the crops to likely survive.


    ¡°Li Chen, we¡¯re done. What should we do next?¡±


    ¡°Wait for me!¡± Li Chen quickly ran back to his residence. He quickly picked up his backpack and took out wheat seeds, corn seeds, and a bag of flower seeds.


    ¡°Here, sow these seeds!¡±


    Li Chen handed over the seeds he had brought. Then, the others quickly planted them. After planting them, they just had to wait for the crops to grow.


    However, Li Chen also discovered some problems. Because they had been building their residence and looking for supplies, they urgently needed some tools. Li Chen thought of the clay he had obtained previously.


    Therefore, he quickly grabbed a few pieces. In a few moments, Li Chen pinched the clay into the shape of a bowl. Then, he lit the stove and placed the clay bowl inside. He felt that this could be burned into ceramic.


    As time passed, Li Chen slowly took it out. As expected, the clay bowl became hard. Li Chen quickly used it to scoop water to test it out. There was no leakage. He had succeeded!


    When the others saw Li Chen¡¯s success, they quickly followed suit. Soon, they created bowls and pots. At the same time, they also made tables, stools, and other household items. Their lives were instantly made more convenient.


    In Hua Long¡¯s cave, Hua Long took a bite of the roasted rabbit meat.


    ¡°Mmd, I¡¯ve been eating roasted rabbit meat every day and I¡¯m tired of it. When will we taste something different?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s already good enough to have something to eat. Don¡¯t be picky!¡± The suited man persuaded.


    ¡°However, since Li Chen and the others have developed earlier and are relatively well off, we should change our targets. That Zhang Yang is not bad.¡± The man in the suit had another idea.


    ¡°Right, him!¡± Hua Long spat out a bone and continued, ¡°That kid might have been eaten by the wolves by now.¡±


    However, Zhang Yang was not as Hua Long had thought. In fact, when Zhang Yang was on the plane, he had also filled in the questionnaire. As a businessman, he saw a business opportunity when he was filling in the questionnaire.


    If he was stranded on a deserted island, other than weapons, food would definitely be the most important. With food, there was nothing he could not exchange for. Therefore, he decisively chose guns and grain seeds.


    At this time, Zhang Yang had also found his own territory. He and his followers quickly built a straw shed here, reclaimed the land, and planted all the seeds.


    The climate here was hot. During this period of time, it was almost harvest season.


    ¡°If nothing goes wrong, the food we will harvest is enough for us to eat for a year!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. There¡¯s also the fish, rabbits, and goats we caught. This is enough for us to eat for a long time.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m still the smartest!¡±

 Chapter 17

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Zhang Yang looked at the inventory and said proudly.


    Truth be told, Zhang Yang did not expect the current situation to be like this. All he knew was that he would be able to do business on this island in the future.


    However, Hua Long was already planning to attack him and was searching for his location on the island.


    Due to the help of those tools, it was already time for them to harvest the first batch of food. Everyone began to work on harvesting the food.


    Finally, they put away all the food. With food, Li Chen and the others did not have to worry about food anymore. They began to work on the weapons and equipment that Li Chen had long planned to get.


    On this day, Li Chen brought a few people into the forest. Li Chen used his knife to cut down a few branches. He picked up a branch and studied it meticulously. This kind of branch was relatively thin, but it was straight.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get more of these branches. They¡¯re suitable to be made into arrows,¡± Li Chen said.


    Everyone immediately took action. After a while, they gathered a lot. Li Chen planned to bring all these branches back to where they lived and make them into bows and arrows.


    ¡°Li Chen, look over there!¡±


    Previously, Li Chen and the others did not realize that bamboo had grown here. Li Chen was extremely excited. With bamboo, he now had all the raw materials to make bows and arrows. Therefore, he quickly gathered bamboo.


    After returning to his residence, all the raw materials were ready. Li Chen began to teach the others how to make bows and arrows.


    Li Chen first split the bamboo in the middle. After splitting it, he trimmed the bamboo into bamboo pieces and cut them to a suitable length. Next, he tied the two ends with grass rope words. After finishing this step, the bow and arrow would be completed.


    Li Chen held it in his hand and tested it. The strength was not bad. With the bow and arrow, they could go hunting in the forest and obtain food faster.


    At the same time, the others also used vines to weave new fish baskets. The fishing tools were also improved. Everything was developing in a good direction. Everything was getting better.


    However, Wang Qi, who had gone out to collect wild vegetables, did not return for a long time. Li Chen felt a little uneasy.


    ¡°Not good, there might be a problem. I¡¯ll go out and find her.¡±


    As he spoke, Li Chen carried the bow and arrow that they had just made, just in case.


    Li Chen quickly looked for her in the forest where Wang Qi had gone. Originally, Wang Qi had entered the forest with the others, but because Wang Qi realized that there were many people on the other side, she went to the opposite side. When everyone was about to return, they realized that she was already gone.


    Hence, these people could only come back and tell Li Chen. Li Chen thought that Wang Qi would walk back by herself later, but he did not see her for a long time. At this point, Li Chen could only look for her.


    When he arrived at the forest, Li Chen saw the traces left behind by them when they came to collect wild vegetables.


    Following these tracks, they continued deeper into the forest until it lead into canyon. Li Chen had been here before. This was where they usually did their activities.


    ¡°Wang Qi¡­¡±


    ¡°Wang Qi, where are you?¡±


    Li Chen shouted loudly, but he did not hear any response.


    Li Chen could only walk to the bottom of the valley. Due to the recent rain, the valley had been washed by the rain, which caused a landslide. Thus, the place where the valley was previously had already collapsed.


    ¡°Wang Qi¡­¡±


    Li Chen shouted again.


    ¡°Who¡¯s calling me? I¡¯m here!¡± Wang Qi heard Li Chen¡¯s shout and hurriedly replied.


    ¡°Li Chen! I¡¯m here. Come quickly, look what I found!¡± Hearing Wang Qi¡¯s shout, Li Chen quickly ran over.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say anything? We were all worried about you.¡± Li Chen couldn¡¯t help but blame her.


    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I just found this place, and I wanted to play. I didn¡¯t have the time to tell you.¡±


    At this moment, Wang Qi was swimming in a pool. The landslide in the valley caused the water to flow poorly. As for the accumulated water here, it gradually turned into a clear pool. And at this moment, Wang Qi swam happily in it.


    ¡°Wang Qi¡­¡± Li Chen said helplessly.


    Beside her were the clothes Wang Qi had taken off. There were two pieces of black fabric on her jacket. They were her underwear. Li Chen looked at them. This was the first time he hag seen Wang Qi¡¯s underwear, which clearly was just taken off.


    ¡°Wang Qi, why are you coming up?¡± Li Chen guessed that Wang Qi was swimming naked inside.


    ¡°Ah! You¡¯re hateful. Leave quickly!¡± Wang Qi suddenly reacted.


    ¡°Leave quickly and don¡¯t come over,¡± Wang Qi said as she quickly swam deeper.


    ¡°Alright, alright, alright. Come out quickly.¡± Li Chen retreated with his back facing Wang Qi.


    After a while, Wang Qi had already put on her clothes and called Li Chen.


    When Li Chen saw this pool, he immediately felt strange. He reached out and dipped his hand in it before putting it in his mouth. Li Chen smacked his lips. It was not salty. It was fresh water!


    Moreover, since there was so much water in this valley, there must be a source.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, follow me quickly!¡± Li Chen said anxiously.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did something happen?¡± Wang Qi asked in confusion.


    Li Chen quickly pulled Wang Qi to the top of the valley. A small river flowed down the valley. The source was a depression covered in fallen leaves and mud, but water kept flowing out. This place was closer to their camp.


    Previously, the water they drank had to be collected from afar. The appearance of this place reduced the distance Li Chen and the others would have to take to collect water by half.


    Li Chen hurriedly broke a thick branch from the side and knelt down to dig crazily. As Li Chen cleaned the mud and fallen leaves on the surface, a clear water source slowly flowed out.


    Li Chen quickly continued to clean up the other places. Soon, he cleared a large area. He counted carefully. There were actually five to six springs that were spewing water.


    ¡°Come back with me!¡± Li Chen¡¯s excitement shocked Wang Qi. She thought that she had caused some trouble, so she could only obediently follow Li Chen. She did not dare to say anything.


    When he returned to his camp, Li Chen did not have time to rest.


    ¡°Follow me. Everyone, bring your shovels and pickaxes and follow me!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Li Chen?¡± Everyone asked in confusion.


    ¡°Thanks to Wang Qi, we discovered a new water source. Come quickly!¡±


    As Li Chen spoke, the others immediately took action. Everyone immediately came to the place where Li Chen had just discovered the spring. When they saw the clear water coming out, everyone was extremely excited.


    However, how to make use of it became another problem. At this moment, a person stood up and observed the terrain here. Then, he observed the place where they lived and said thoughtfully.


    ¡°According to the terrain, we¡¯ll dig this place down and build a well. Then we can bury a pipe. That way, there¡¯ll be water where we live. Depending on the terrain, the water will flow down by itself.¡±


    This person¡¯s words attracted everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°In other words, we finally don¡¯t have to run so far to fetch water in the future?¡±


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s great. We can finally have a water source!¡±


    Everyone shouted happily.

 Chapter 18

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Then, everyone began to take action.


    At the mouth of the spring, everyone began to dig down. Soon, they had dug out what looked like a well. That man stood up and gave more instructions. He looked at the depth and shook his head.


    After digging further down, it finally satisfied that person. Then, he instructed everyone to find rocks and jumped in directly. Due to the expansion of the spring, the water source in the pit had accumulated a lot.


    ¡°Everyone, hurry up and find stones. I want big and small ones. The more the better!¡±


    When Li Chen heard this, he quickly brought everyone to move stones over.


    As more and more stones were gathered, the man slowly built a well in the pit. Then, he climbed out and wrung the water from his clothes.


    ¡°This way, this place can store water. When the time comes, we only need to cover the mouth of the well so that it can be hidden. As for us using the water, we only need to bury a water pipe in the ground.¡±


    Everyone sighed at this person¡¯s intelligence. This would ensure the safety of this well and ensure that their water source would not be polluted by the outside world.


    The final piece of the puzzle was the water pipe. There were no water pipes on this deserted island, so Li Chen had to think of a solution.


    ¡°Come, follow me. I have an idea!¡±


    Li Chen brought everyone to the bamboo forest that they had discovered previously. As Li Chen slashed down one by one, the bamboo fell to the ground. They brought the bamboo back to their residence and then used a thinner stick to break through the inside of the bamboo segment by segment.


    Just like that, a water pipe made of bamboo could be used. Everyone immediately went to the water source and began to dig ditches to bury the bamboo. Finally, they buried the bamboo in the place where they lived.


    After all the work was done, Li Chen forcefully pulled away the thing blocking the end of the bamboo, and soon clear water flowed out.


    ¡°We did it!¡±


    ¡°We finally have water!¡±


    Everyone cheered. That night, everyone lit a bonfire in the courtyard and sat in the middle.


    ¡°Li Chen, how did you discover this empty space back then?¡±


    ¡°Haha, it¡¯s all thanks to Sister Yu. She was the one who discovered it. We thought that this place is flat and has a hill on its back, so it should be relatively safe.¡±


    When everyone heard Li Chen mention Zhao Yu¡¯s name, they all looked at Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu lowered her head in embarrassment. The bonfire shone on her face as it gradually turned red.


    ¡°We still have to thank Wang Qi this time. She was the one who found the pool, but her actions this time are unacceptable,¡± Li Chen quickly said.


    ¡°My bad, my bad. I won¡¯t dare to do it again,¡± Wang Qi quickly explained.


    Everyone spent this beautiful night in laughter.


    ¡°Where¡¯s the food?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing left to eat. What do you think we should do?¡±


    When Hua Long woke up early in the morning, he said angrily when he saw the empty cave.


    ¡°What do you think we should do? We can¡¯t catch anything in the traps these few days. There¡¯s nothing to eat!¡±


    Hua Long said angrily. Then, he kicked the stone beside him.


    ¡°What should we do now? We can¡¯t beat Li Chen. What should we do?¡± Faced with Hua Long¡¯s question, the suited man had a calm expression. He sneered a few times.


    ¡°To be honest, when I went out with my brothers that day, I saw that Zhang Yang and the others were doing well on the other side. They even planted crops.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up at the mention of crops, including Hua Long.


    ¡°Stop dreaming. Go find me something to eat first. I¡¯m starving.¡±


    ¡°Go!¡±


    As Hua Long spoke, he kicked his lackeys down. At this moment, other than him and the suited man, there were a few others who had been following him. But recently, he caught a few more from the wilderness.


    The few of them went to the depths of the forest to check the traps that had been set up.


    ¡°Have you heard?¡±


    ¡°Zhang Yang¡¯s place is already planted with crops. Let¡¯s go there.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t. The last time I escaped, I got lost and was caught by Hua Long. I was beaten half to death. Don¡¯t cause trouble this time.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to stay here any longer. I want to escape. At that time, I saw Zhang Yang and the others heading east.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t bother. If you head east then, who knows where he is now.¡±


    These people began to discuss among themselves. They were the worst among all the survivors.


    However, Hua Long¡¯s use of force to solve the problem made them really fed up. They felt that they had to escape no matter what. This was their only chance to fight for their lives.


    Therefore, they quickly ran towards the east. That was the last place they saw Zhang Yang.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t those bastards back yet?!¡±


    ¡°Where are they?¡±


    Seeing that those people had not returned for the entire morning, Hua Long hurriedly came out to check, only to find that they had long fled.


    ¡°Those bastards, don¡¯t let me catch them again!¡±


    ¡°They actually ran away again. I don¡¯t believe that they can escape that far!¡±


    To the east of Hua Long¡¯s cave, after passing the highest peak of the mountain, one would find Zhang Yang¡¯s camp at the foot of the mountain.


    Currently, only Hua Long had gone deep into the forest and was at the center of the forest. Zhang Yang was on the east side, while Li Chen and the others were on the north side. They were all far away from each other.


    ¡°Another batch of grain has been harvested. Our granary can¡¯t even hold it now.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. We can¡¯t even fit in more now. We have to build another granary again!¡±


    With a mountain behind him, a cliff beside him, and a sea in front of him, Zhang Yang did not have to worry about anyone invading him. Furthermore, his whereabouts were the most secretive.


    When he had escaped, he had brought his brothers here with great difficulty. No one would have thought that they would come here.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, look! There¡¯s someone there!¡±


    Zhang Yang looked along the coastline and saw a few wriggling shadows getting bigger and bigger. Zhang Yang quickly looked over and saw that they were indeed human beings.


    ¡°Yes, there¡¯s someone there. Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Zhang Yang quickly brought a few of his men over to investigate. It turned out that they were the ones who had escaped from Hua Long.


    ¡°Why are you guys here?¡± Zhang Yang looked at them and asked.


    ¡°Quick! Fortify your defenses! Hua Long will come sooner or later!¡±


    Zhang Yang treated these newcomers with great hospitality. As they were escaping, the few of them were so hungry that their stomachs were rumbling with hunger. Now, in the presence of food, they started to eat in big mouthfuls. Zhang Yang quickly asked them about their experiences during this period of time.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. We should have left with you back then¡­¡±


    The few of them actually shed tears.


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Take your time, take your time.¡± Zhang Yang began to comfort them.


    ¡°At that time, you asked us what we were going to do. We originally felt that we could survive by ourselves, so we lived alone in the forest. However, we didn¡¯t expect to be captured by Hua Long again. What¡¯s worse was that he beat us half to death.¡±


    ¡°Now, Hua Long is facing a food crisis, and he¡¯s planning to rob. You have to be careful. His bows, guns, and knives are not to be trifled with.¡±


    ¡°Bows? Guns?¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Zhang Yang was shocked when he heard what they said.

 Chapter 19

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Yeah, we just escaped from there.¡±


    ¡°Oh no!¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s heart skipped a beat. The thing that he was most worried about had happened.


    At the news of this, Zhang Yang immediately asked everyone to raise the defense of the camp. However, as they were not prepared beforehand, they did not manage to get much done.


    ¡°I¡¯m so angry! Those traitors!¡± Hua Long took out the gun that the suited man had given him.


    ¡°Looks like if I don¡¯t get serious, they don¡¯t know who they are dealing with.¡±


    Hua Long raised the gun and made an aiming motion, fiddling with the delicate pistol in his hand.


    On the other side, Li Chen and the others had a fresh water supply. The cultivated land also had water irrigation, which allowed them to have more convenience in life and their daily work.


    Li Chen suddenly thought of something.


    ¡°According to the chronological order of the things given previously, the backpack should give me something else today,¡± Li Chen thought. Then, he opened the backpack.


    The backpack gave him another pistol today. Li Chen was very puzzled. He had already received a pistol previously.


    Li Chen carefully hid the pistol. He knew that he should not use it unless he had no other choice.


    ¡°Li Chen, the weather today is not bad, so we will go out to pick wild fruits,¡± Wang Qi said happily as she pulled Zhao Yu and a few others.


    ¡°Go, be careful!¡± Li Chen instructed them.


    At this moment, Hua Long and the others had no food at all. Without anyone to hunt for them, their food source was cut off.


    ¡°Pfft, we can¡¯t even eat rabbit meat now!¡± Hua Long took a bite of a wild fruit.


    ¡°Pfft, pfft, pfft. What is this? How can I eat this!¡±


    Hua Long threw away the fruit and called his brothers over.


    ¡°Brothers, if we continue like this, we¡¯ll starve to death sooner or later. Why don¡¯t we go rob?¡± Hua Long voiced his idea.


    ¡°I agree, but who should we rob from?¡± The suited man came out and asked.


    ¡°Snatch whose? Of course Li Chen¡¯s!¡±


    ¡°The last time we went, we suffered a loss. One of our brothers was even injured because of them.¡± The suited man voiced his concerns.


    ¡°Then you want me to find Zhang Yang? Who knows where he is? We¡¯ll starve to death before we even get there!¡±


    Hua Long¡¯s words made sense. Currently, they had only been to Li Chen¡¯s camp and knew nothing about Zhang Yang¡¯s camp.


    When the suited man heard Hua Long¡¯s words, he didn¡¯t refuse and nodded in agreement.


    Hua Long and the others began to walk towards Li Chen with bows and spears.


    ¡°Sister Yu, look at me. I found a lot of wild fruits here!¡± Wang Qi had picked many wild fruits.


    ¡°You have to be careful. There are many bugs in the forest at this time.¡± Zhao Yu reminded.


    At this moment, Wang Qi, Zhao Yu, and the others were picking wild fruits, completely unaware that danger was approaching them step by step.


    ¡°Save¡­¡±


    Suddenly, Wang Qi¡¯s mouth was covered by a man in black clothes, and she was pulled into the forest.


    When Zhao Yu heard Wang Qi shout the word ¡®save¡¯, she hurriedly shouted.


    The person who pulled Wang Qi was none other than Hua Long.


    When Hua Long saw that it was Wang Qi who was pulled over, his beastly nature immediately erupted.


    ¡°My baby, I missed you so much.¡± As he spoke, Hua Long kissed her. Wang Qi struggled desperately.


    Hua Long was very strong and threw Wang Qi to the ground. He immediately pounced on her and finally saw the Wang Qi he had been dreaming about.


    Hua Long tore open Wang Qi¡¯s clothes, revealing Wang Qi¡¯s underwear. Without another word, Hua Long lowered his head and kissed her.


    ¡°Hua Long, have you forgotten what we¡¯re going to do?¡±


    When the surrounding people saw Hua Long like this, they hurriedly stopped him.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you see what I¡¯m doing now? Get lost!¡± Hua Long¡¯s beastly nature took over his rationality. He didn¡¯t care what he was doing now.


    At this moment, Hua Long¡¯s hands were placed where he should have placed them. It had to be said that they were just the right size.


    ¡°Come on! My little baby!¡± Hua Long said happily.


    Wang Qi tried her best to hit Hua Long. At this moment, Hua Long looked down. His hand moved down and he grabbed Wang Qi¡¯s pants with both hands, pulling them down completely.


    This time, other than Wang Qi¡¯s underwear, everything else was exposed. This scene made Hua Long¡¯s blood boil.


    ¡°Help!¡±


    ¡°Somebody help me!¡±


    Wang Qi slapped desperately and kept kicking, but she was still pressed down by Hua Long.


    Just as Hua Long was about to take action¡­


    ¡°Stop it!¡±


    A shout completely disrupted Hua Long¡¯s plan. Hua Long hurriedly looked up. It was none other than Li Chen and the others.


    ¡°You want to stop me?¡± Hua Long said as he pulled Wang Qi up.


    Everyone saw Wang Qi¡¯s current appearance. Her exposed skin was snow-white. This scene even tempted Li Chen.


    ¡°Hua Long, there¡¯s no enmity between us. What exactly do you want?¡±


    ¡°What do I want? You¡¯re so comfortable every day. Can¡¯t I be comfortable too?¡±


    ¡°Brothers! Attack!¡± Hua Long¡¯s subordinates drew their bows and began to confront Li Chen and the others.


    Li Chen sneered. With a wave of his hand, dozens of arrows flew over from the sky, catching Hua Long off guard.


    The arrows were blind. Some of them hit Hua Long¡¯s subordinates directly, which caused them to be in disarray.


    Suddenly, an arrow flew towards Hua Long.


    Seeing this, Hua Long quickly pushed Wang Qi out, hoping that Wang Qi would block the arrow for him. Seeing this, Li Chen quickly stepped forward and took Wang Qi before falling to the ground with her.


    Seeing this, Hua Long hurriedly retreated. Fortunately, the arrow had only grazed his skin. At this moment, Li Chen was lying on the ground with Wang Qi in his arms.


    ¡°Li Chen, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so capable. You are really the real deal!¡±


    ¡°Brothers! Retreat!¡±


    Hua Long had no choice but to give up on his attack plan. He retreated, cursing along the way.


    At this moment, Li Chen was happily hugging Wang Qi. He finally touched Wang Qi¡¯s skin. This was the first time he was hugging Wang Qi at such a close distance. Suddenly, Wang Qi seemed to have felt something change.


    ¡°Li Chen, we¡¯re safe now!¡± Wang Qi said.


    These words pulled Li Chen back to reality. Li Chen quickly pulled Wang Qi up and handed her the clothes.


    ¡°Thank you. If you had come a step later, I might have¡­¡± Wang Qi cried.


    ¡°You should thank Sister Yu. She came back to call us!¡± Wang Qi quickly looked at Sister Yu. Sister Yu seemed to be jealous.


    At this moment, Hua Long had returned back to his cave. On the way back, he had hunted some hares and even a wild goat.


    ¡°It¡¯s my fault this time. I couldn¡¯t control myself.¡± Hua Long finally realized his mistake.


    ¡°Hmph, you didn¡¯t listen to me when I stopped you back then. Do you feel good now?¡± The suited man mocked.

 Chapter 20

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°It¡¯s my fault, it¡¯s my fault. We can¡¯t forcefully siege them any longer,¡± Hua Long said thoughtfully.


    ¡°I underestimated Li Chen. I didn¡¯t expect them to make so many bows and arrows!¡±


    Suddenly, Hua Long slapped his thigh and spat.


    ¡°Got it! Since we can¡¯t attack by force, we¡¯ll just rob them!¡±


    As he spoke, Hua Long called his brothers over. They discussed how to steal together.


    Li Chen and the others returned to their camp. They settled Wang Qi down and planned to continue living an orderly life.


    ¡°Li Chen, have you noticed that it¡¯s getting harder to catch fish these days? Moreover, we don¡¯t have much meat left!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, a portion of it is spoiled. It¡¯s not enough to eat.¡±


    When Li Chen heard what the others said, he was also very vexed. Recently, the weather had been constantly getting hotter, so meat could not be preserved at all.


    ¡°In that case, let¡¯s go hunting more every day. We¡¯ll eat them when we get back,¡± Li Chen said.


    A large number of people began to enter the forest to hunt.


    As for Hua Long and the others, they approached Li Chen¡¯s camp.


    ¡°Brothers, do you see that? Li Chen¡¯s territory is up ahead,¡± Hua Long said.


    ¡°Then what are we waiting for? Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Hua Long slapped his brother. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? Let¡¯s wait a while. We¡¯ll take action after all of them leave!¡±


    Li Chen did not expect Hua Long and the others to do this, so they all went out to hunt and catch fish.


    ¡°They¡¯re almost all gone. Brothers, attack!¡±


    Hua Long and his brothers quietly reached the vicinity of Li Chen¡¯s camp. Hua Long kicked open the door and they swaggered in.


    ¡°Brothers, what are you waiting for! Snatch!¡±


    With Hua Long¡¯s order, everyone began to frantically store the food and various kinds of meat that Li Chen and the others had stored in their bags. Just like that, everything that Li Chen and the others had painstakingly stored was snatched away by Hua Long and the others.


    Before leaving, Hua Long picked up a burning log from the campfire.


    ¡°Hmph! This is what you get for opposing me.¡±


    As he spoke, Hua Long threw the log onto the woods and left.


    The burning log quickly ignited more wood. Soon, the flames attracted the attention of Li Chen and the others. Li Chen and the others quickly returned.


    Thanks to the help of the water source, the fire was extinguished. Fortunately, the fire only burned all the firewood outside the courtyard and did not continue to burn.


    ¡°Li Chen, we¡¯re out of food!¡±


    ¡°What? We¡¯ve been robbed?¡±


    When Li Chen heard this, he was very shocked. He did not expect his camp to be robbed.


    Li Chen checked their food angrily. As expected, it was empty. Everything had been snatched away. The crops in front of them had yet to be harvested, so they had no food.


    ¡°Li Chen, what should we do?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Let me think of something. Everyone, quickly see if there are any traces.¡±


    Everyone immediately searched around the house for traces left behind by the bandits. After searching, they finally found the traces left behind by Hua Long and the others.


    ¡°From the looks of it, I know who the bandits are!¡± Li Chen said confidently.


    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious. Now, let¡¯s go and check our fish baskets and traps. Then, we can have some food. The rest of you, stay here. Leave the rest to me.¡±


    Hearing Li Chen¡¯s words, everyone immediately took action. This was because they were facing a situation where they did not have anything to eat. If they were not careful, they might go hungry.


    Li Chen took out the pistol he had hidden, put it on, and set off.


    He followed the trail left behind by Hua Long and the others all the way to Hua Long¡¯s cave.


    At this moment, Hua Long and the others were celebrating with grain and meat. They were holding a celebratory party.


    The food they had snatched was roasted on the fire. The fragrance of the roasted meat spread throughout the entire forest. At this moment, Li Chen was hidden in the grass.


    ¡°These damn bandits!¡±


    Then, Li Chen raised his pistol and aimed at the person who was eating meat. He fired, but Li Chen had never learned how to shoot, so the shot missed and only hit his thigh.


    ¡°Ah! It hurts!¡± The gunshots alerted the party-goers . At the same time, the person who was shot rolled on the ground in pain.


    Seeing this, Hua Long knew that Li Chen also had a gun. Moreover, he was sure that Li Chen had come.


    ¡°Li Chen, you little rabbit, you came so quickly!¡±


    After saying that, Hua Long pulled everyone into the cave. Li Chen suddenly lost his target, but he also hid in the grass and did not come out.


    Li Chen knew that as soon as he came out, arrows would definitely welcome him.


    ¡°Hua Long, you should take responsibility for your actions. Hand over the food you stole!¡±


    Li Chen shouted loudly.


    ¡°You can¡¯t eat it either. Can¡¯t we snatch it for fun?¡±


    As Hua Long spoke, he raised his hand and had his subordinates raise their bows. Hua Long already knew where Li Chen was hiding. He quickly pointed, and his subordinates locked onto that spot.


    ¡°You! Damn it! Hurry up and hand over the food! Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being rude!¡±


    Just as Li Chen was speaking, Hua Long waved his hand and all the arrows were immediately fired.


    Seeing this, Li Chen quickly retreated. The arrows did not hit him, but Hua Long quickly got his subordinates to chase after him.


    Hua Long planned to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Li Chen alive. In that case, Li Chen¡¯s base would be his. Li Chen quickly ran towards his camp.


    ¡°Chase after him! Don¡¯t let him escape!¡±


    Hua Long¡¯s men were still chasing relentlessly. Just as they were about to catch up to Li Chen, Li Chen¡¯s arrows suddenly shot over again. Seeing this, Hua Long and the others hurriedly lay on the ground.


    ¡°Run! They¡¯re ambushing us!¡± Hua Long quickly called for his brothers to retreat.


    At this moment, Li Chen did not expect his people to come and save him.


    ¡°Li Chen! Come here quickly!¡±


    ¡°Li Chen, come quickly!¡±


    Everyone quickly called Li Chen over. Seeing this, Li Chen quickly crawled into the grass.


    ¡°I found you!¡± Wang Qi came over and hugged Li Chen, burying his head deep in her chest. Li Chen felt suffocated for a moment.


    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Li Chen asked in surprise.


    ¡°We saw you go out on your own and thought you might be in danger. That¡¯s why we¡¯re here.¡±


    Zhao Yu quickly explained. Then, Li Chen looked at everyone and saw that they were fine.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think Hua Long and the others dare to come. I injured one of them!¡± Li Chen said.


    Everyone immediately returned to their camp. Li Chen felt that this could not go on. He could not rely on grain alone, so he planned to find a new source of food.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s there!¡± Wang Qi suddenly thought of something and ran over excitedly to tell everyone.

 Chapter 21

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Wang Qi¡¯s sudden shout frightened everyone. Everyone thought that what had happened last time had frightened her.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Li Chen asked with concern.


    ¡°Sister Yu, do you still remember the last time we went to pick wild fruits?¡±


    When Zhao Yu heard Wang Qi¡¯s words, she immediately understood and quickly stood up. ¡°That¡¯s right! If you hadn¡¯t said it, I would have forgotten.¡±


    Wang Qi and Zhao Yu¡¯s actions shocked everyone. Everyone was confused.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this. The last time we went to pick fruits, we found a place with a lot of wild fruits.¡±


    Zhao Yu said excitedly to everyone. Everyone immediately became excited.


    If there were wild fruits, they could be picked and eaten. Li Chen quickly led everyone to pick them.


    ¡°Sister Yu, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to lead the way,¡± Li Chen said.


    ¡°Alright, everyone, bring your tools. Let¡¯s go!¡± Wang Qi and Zhao Yu said happily. Then, they led everyone towards the wild fruit field.


    Finally, they arrived at the wild fruit field. Sure enough, this place was just as they had said. There were fruit trees everywhere. The fruit trees were filled with fruits, and everyone happily picked them.


    However, Li Chen realized that something was wrong. He carefully checked his surroundings.


    ¡°That¡¯s not right,¡± Li Chen muttered to himself. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhao Yu saw Li Chen looking around and felt that something must have happened.


    Li Chen carefully checked the area of the fruit trees. The fruit trees here were very concentrated. It was obvious that it was not grown in the wild. Moreover, there seemed to be a similar distance between each fruit tree, which would definitely not be possible in the wild.


    ¡°You mean someone planted it? These fruit trees were specially planted by someone else?¡± Zhao Yu immediately understood.


    Li Chen nodded and said thoughtfully, ¡°It¡¯s very likely, but I¡¯m not sure.¡±


    Zhao Yu quickly comforted Li Chen and told him not to think too much. At this moment, whether it was man-made or not, the most important thing was to pick the fruits and fill everyone¡¯s stomachs.


    ¡°Everyone, pay more attention to your surroundings when you pick them. Be careful!¡± Li Chen hurriedly instructed.


    ¡°Ah!¡± someone suddenly shouted.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Li Chen quickly ran over to check.


    That person climbed up the tree to pick fruits, but he wasn¡¯t careful so he fell heavily to the ground.


    This scene made everyone laugh. ¡°Slow down and be careful!¡± Li Chen hurriedly instructed.


    ¡°D*mn, it doesn¡¯t matter if I fall, but I actually fell on a rock. It hurts so much!¡± That person said as he reached his hand under his body to feel for the rock.


    ¡°This is it. It¡¯s quite big!¡± As he spoke, that person pulled out the stone under him, but this time, it frightened everyone.


    Because what he took out was not a stone, but a human skull!


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    ¡°Ghost!¡±


    Wang Qi and the others were so frightened that they hid behind Li Chen. When Li Chen saw a skull was suddenly taken out, he was so nervous that he could not speak.


    ¡°What are you guys panicking for? It¡¯s just a rock!¡± He was still in a joking mood, but then he turned it around and saw that it was a skull.


    ¡°Oh my god!¡±


    He was so frightened that he scrambled into the crowd and did not dare to come out. He kept muttering, ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡±


    After everyone calmed down, Li Chen walked forward and picked up the skull to examine it carefully.


    ¡°Li Chen, you have to be careful!¡± Everyone quickly reminded him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s very safe,¡± Li Chen said after checking.


    After Li Chen¡¯s careful observation, he realized that this skull was stained with soil. It was obvious that it had been a long time ago. He could conclude that this was a person who had died here. However, as for when, it must have been a long time ago.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t look safe here either. Everyone, hurry up and pick some fruits. After that, we¡¯ll hurry back.¡±


    Li Chen quickly told everyone to move quickly while vigilantly observing the surroundings for everyone.


    Li Chen knew in his heart that this place was most likely dangerous. Otherwise, this person would not have died here.


    ¡°Ding, ding, ding, ding.¡± A series of hurried bells rang.


    ¡°Wait, there¡¯s movement!¡±


    ¡°Did you hear a bell ring?¡±


    Li Chen quickly stopped everyone. Everyone immediately stopped talking and stood rooted to the ground. However, their bell noise was gone.


    ¡°Bells? How can there be bells in the wilderness?¡±


    ¡°Other than the sound of birds, we can¡¯t hear anything.¡±


    ¡°Li Chen, aren¡¯t you too nervous? It might just be the sound of a bird.¡±


    Everyone thought that Li Chen had heard wrongly, so they did not take it seriously and continued to pick fruits. Li Chen also felt that he might have been too nervous that he might have misheard.


    ¡°Ring, ring, ring!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s that sound?¡± This time, everyone heard the sound of bells ringing. Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing. Li Chen hurriedly called for everyone to hide.


    ¡°Li Chen, it seems like we wronged you just now. There were indeed bells ringing.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, be careful and don¡¯t make a sound. Let¡¯s observe for a while before taking action.¡± Li Chen told everyone to hide first and not go out rashly.


    Everyone listened to Li Chen¡¯s words. Coupled with the skull that had just been discovered, they were so afraid that they did not dare to go out. However, after a long time, the bells did not ring again.


    Li Chen saw that nothing was happening around him, so he decided to go out first.


    ¡°Li Chen, let¡¯s go out together.¡±


    ¡°No, you guys hide here and act according to my instructions.¡± Li Chen rejected everyone¡¯s good intentions.


    Then, he gently crossed the grass and returned to the fruit tree.


    Li Chen looked at the apple tree in front of him. He seemed to have an idea of what was going on, so he quickly climbed up the tree.


    Standing high up and looking far away, Li Chen, who had climbed up the tree, did not see anything. After observing for a while, he felt that this place should be safe!


    ¡°Come on out. It¡¯s safe.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, come out and put away the fruits. Let¡¯s go back quickly. We can¡¯t stay here for long.¡±


    Li Chen instructed.


    When everyone heard Li Chen¡¯s words, they all came out. They put the fruits into their pockets one by one and planned to leave quickly.


    Just as everyone was busy, the surrounding grass rustled.


    ¡°Li Chen, look!¡±


    Li Chen looked at the grass over there. ¡°There¡¯s something in the grass. Everyone, pay attention.¡±


    Li Chen said. Everyone decisively picked up the things on the ground. Some grabbed a broken wooden stick, while others grabbed a stone, preparing to face this sudden danger.


    However, the sound stopped abruptly, and the grass returned to calm.


    ¡°F*ck, it¡¯s messing with us! Who doesn¡¯t know how to scare people!¡±


    A strong man walked over with a stick.

 Chapter 22

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Scare me! I¡¯m telling you to f*cking scare me!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m telling you to scare me!¡±


    As he spoke, he raised his stick and smashed it into the grass. After smashing for a while, he realized that there was no movement in the grass. He bent down and wanted to look into the grass.


    ¡°F*ck! Run!¡±


    The person threw the stick and ran. At the same time, a few black shadows jumped out of the grass and quickly chased after him.


    ¡°What are you waiting for? Run!¡±


    Following this person¡¯s shout, everyone reacted and began to escape in the opposite direction. However, after a few steps, a few more black shadows jumped out.


    The black shadow gradually approached and surrounded Li Chen and the others. Li Chen and the others could only retreat.


    ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. Mommy, we¡¯re surrounded.¡±


    ¡°Are they human or ghost? They¡¯re so scary.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t say anything. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±


    ¡°Li Chen, at a time like this, what¡¯s the point of saying that?¡±


    As these black shadows continued to approach, everyone was forced to curl up under a tree. Then, Li Chen finally saw their appearances clearly.


    They were wearing straw clothes. Their faces and bodies were oily black, and some of their faces had scars. It seemed that they had experienced many battles before. Li Chen thought to himself that it was over. They were very likely savages.


    The savages were all holding weapons made of bones. These melee weapons might be useless in front of bows and arrows, but Li Chen and the others did not have their bows and arrows right now.


    ¡°Everyone, be careful. Don¡¯t attack. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Li Chen comforted everyone.


    ¡°Are they human or ghost? Why are they so scary?¡± Someone cried.


    ¡°They should be savages. There are good and bad savages, so don¡¯t panic.¡± Li Chen explained to everyone. Then, everyone knew that they had encountered savages.


    Seeing that Li Chen and the others didn¡¯t attack, the savages also put down their weapons and didn¡¯t rashly attack.


    ¡°Ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji¡­¡± At this moment, a savage walked forward and said something incomprehensible.


    Li Chen was helpless when he heard that. He could not understand what they were saying, so he could only ask everyone to put down the weapons in their hands.


    ¡°Everyone, throw away the weapons in your hands and see what these savages want to do.¡±


    ¡°Li Chen, are you crazy? If we throw away our weapons, what if they hit us?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, these are all we have.¡±


    ¡°What are you guys thinking? If they wanted to attack us, they would have done it long ago. We can¡¯t do this now. They probably want something.¡±


    At this moment, everyone came to a realization. That was indeed the case. If the savages wanted to kill them, they would have killed them the moment they met. They would not have waited for so long.


    Then, under Li Chen¡¯s lead, everyone threw away the weapons in their hands. Li Chen also threw away the rod in his hand. Li Chen originally planned to fight them to the death as soon as they came up, but when he thought about how he did not understand the other party¡¯s strength, he did not take action.


    When the savages saw Li Chen and the others throw away the weapons in their hands, they also threw them away.


    ¡°Hey, what are they doing? They also threw away their weapons too?¡±


    Then, the savage who came forward picked up all the weapons he had thrown away and placed them in front of Li Chen. When Li Chen saw the savage do this, he quickly took a step back.


    When the savages saw Li Chen retreat, they knew that they had the upper hand, so they started to jump up proudly. They were still muttering something, as if they were cheering.


    ¡°What are they thinking?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand. Let¡¯s wait and see!¡±


    When everyone saw that the savages did not continue to hurt them, they began to discuss. At this moment, the savages began to move.


    They collected all the fruits that Li Chen and the others had picked and began to move them.


    ¡°So they¡¯re here to get fruits too.¡±


    ¡°This bunch of b*stards want to steal our gains for nothing. I¡¯ll beat you to death!¡±


    ¡°Wait! Let them do it!¡± Li Chen stopped the violent-tempered person who wanted to fight.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Under such circumstances, Li Chen seemed unusually calm. He was thinking of the most perfect solution.


    Li Chen mainly did not understand the other party¡¯s intentions. Moreover, at this moment, he thought that these fruit trees were very likely planted by the savages themselves.


    If they came to pick fruits like this, could it be that they had invaded their orchard? After all, savages were often very territorial. Also, could the skull be the result of someone resisting?


    Just like that, under the gazes of Li Chen and the others, the savages gathered all the fruits that Li Chen and the others had picked. Then, they brought the fruits and shouted as they walked.


    The fruits were snatched away by them just like that.


    ¡°Li Chen, I feel too aggrieved. You didn¡¯t let me beat them to death!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we should have attacked!¡±


    No one understood Li Chen¡¯s thoughts. They began to complain that Li Chen was too cowardly, causing their fruits to be snatched away for nothing.


    ¡°How do you know they¡¯re so easy to bully?¡±


    ¡°What if they have help?¡±


    ¡°Will we be able to defeat them if we fight?¡±


    Zhao Yu¡¯s words rendered everyone speechless. No one said anything else.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. We will have fruits, but we don¡¯t know the situation when facing the savages. If we attack rashly, we might suffer even greater losses.¡±


    After hearing Li Chen¡¯s explanation, everyone rationally felt that Li Chen¡¯s actions were the most reasonable because it could guarantee that they would not be harmed.


    After returning to their camp, Li Chen got someone to go out and check the fish basket and traps.


    ¡°Not bad this time, Li Chen. Look!¡±


    The person who went out to check on the trap happily ran back with a huge wild goat on his back.


    ¡°There¡¯s something to eat now!¡±


    When the others saw that the trap had caught a wild goat, they quickly took out tools to deal with it. Moreover, they also caught a lot of fish in the fish basket.


    ¡°Now we have something to eat. Let¡¯s eat roasted mutton tonight,¡± everyone said happily.


    Li Chen knew that their food problem had only been temporarily alleviated. If they wanted to continue surviving, they needed to store more food. Otherwise, it would be over once they encountered danger.


    ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s think about building a place to store food.¡± Li Chen voiced his opinion.


    Everyone felt that this idea was feasible and set the location in the courtyard. They planned to start looking for items the next day to build a place to store food.


    ¡°Also, there¡¯s one more thing. After dinner, the few of you will come with me.¡±


    Li Chen stopped the men who seemed strong and asked them to follow him to do something big after dinner. Those people wanted to know what it was in advance, but Li Chen told them that it was a secret.


    ¡°Li Chen, don¡¯t keep us in suspense!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll know after dinner! Eat well first!¡±

 Chapter 23

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    After dinner, a few people surrounded Li Chen.


    ¡°Li Chen, don¡¯t keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly.¡± These people wanted to know what Li Chen wanted them to do.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Bring your weapons. I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    Everyone did not understand, but they still took their weapons and followed Li Chen out.


    ¡°Li Chen, where are you guys going?¡± Zhao Yu saw Li Chen go out and quickly ran out to ask.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be fine. We¡¯ll be back soon,¡± Li Chen replied.


    Then, they arrived at the place where they had been ambushed during the day. Li Chen gestured for everyone to hide in the grass.


    ¡°Li Chen, I understand. So you asked us to follow you to carry out an ambush.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. You should have said so earlier. This is too exciting.¡±


    Everyone immediately reacted. Li Chen wanted to bring them back at night to see if they could find any traces of the savages.


    ¡°Everyone, pay attention to your feet and take a closer look to see if you can find any traces of the savages.¡±


    At night, with only moonlight, the visibility was very low. In this environment, it was very troublesome for everyone to search for something. Suddenly, someone found something.


    ¡°Li Chen, come and take a look. The fruits we picked during the day.¡± Someone picked up the fruit that Li Chen and the others had picked during the day. It should have fallen when the savages retreated with the fruits.


    ¡°Looks like they¡¯re in that direction. Chase!¡±


    Everyone continued to chase in said direction. Along the way, they saw traces left behind by the savages. Everyone followed the traces and searched.


    ¡°Ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji¡­¡± From afar, they could hear the conversation of the savages.


    ¡°Looks like this is the place. Everyone, be careful and hide well.¡±


    Li Chen and the others found a slope. Using the difference in height, they climbed to the bottom of the slope. Li Chen carefully raised his head and saw that on the slope, the savages were surrounding a bonfire.


    ¡°These b*stards! They look like they¡¯re celebrating.¡±


    ¡°Nothing is certain. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s act according to the situation. Don¡¯t be anxious. I¡¯m afraid there will be danger,¡± Li Chen reminded everyone.


    The savages continued to jump around the bonfire. It seemed that this was their special celebration. Then, they took out meat and placed it on the fire to roast.


    ¡°These savages even know how to roast meat,¡± someone said in surprise.


    ¡°Some savages even eat humans.¡±


    ¡°Stop talking. Everyone, follow me.¡±


    While the savages were celebrating, Li Chen led everyone forward bit by bit. Finally, they arrived at a grassland closer to them.


    Not far away was the savages¡¯ tribe. From the outside, the savages¡¯ tribe looked better than Li Chen¡¯s camp. It looked that savages would also build their settlements.


    ¡°Does everyone want to go in?¡± Li Chen wanted to ask for everyone¡¯s opinions.


    ¡°Go, after all, we are already here. Why should we not go in?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. I didn¡¯t expect to be able to find the savages here. This is too exciting.¡±


    Everyone agreed to go to the savages¡¯ tribe to see what was going on inside.


    Li Chen and the others hurriedly bent down and ran. At this moment, the savages were still busy celebrating and did not notice that someone had already barged into their tribe.


    In the savages¡¯ tribe, Li Chen hurriedly instructed everyone to pay attention to their surroundings. Then, he searched around with everyone. All the houses seemed to be filled with things.


    ¡°You don¡¯t say, these savages are living quite well. They have a lot of things stored.¡±


    ¡°Look at that house. There¡¯s still light inside.¡±


    Hearing this person¡¯s discovery, Li Chen quickly ran over with the others and looked in through the window of the house. There was something that looked like a long-haired monster inside, but from its actions, it seemed to be a human.


    ¡°Hey, are you a human or a savage?¡±


    ¡°Are you crazy? What if it¡¯s a savage?¡±


    One of the men immediately slapped the other and berated him for shouting at the window just now.


    ¡°And you are?¡±


    ¡°Ah, the savage is speaking.¡±


    ¡°Are you stupid? Can savages understand us?¡±


    When Li Chen heard his companion¡¯s conversation, he could not help but secretly laugh in his heart. Since that person had replied, it must be a human. However, why was this person here?


    ¡°You¡¯re human? So are we.¡±


    Li Chen quickly replied.


    ¡°What? You¡¯re humans? How did you get here?¡±


    ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s a long story. Let¡¯s get you out first.¡±


    Then, Li Chen and the others began to tear down the door of the house. This door was designed by the savages to be very difficult to tear down from the inside. However, it was very simple to break the door and window down from the outside.


    ¡°These savages are quite smart.¡±


    ¡°Cut the crap. Hurry up and save him.¡±


    Everyone saved this person together. Then, a strong man volunteered to carry him and run if he couldn¡¯t do it. Under the cover of the night, they quickly ran back to Li Chen¡¯s camp.


    ¡°This is?¡± When the others in the residence saw Li Chen and the others carrying a long-haired monster back, they were extremely afraid.


    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be afraid. He¡¯s also a human, but he¡¯s been imprisoned by the savages for too long.¡±


    After Li Chen¡¯s explanation, everyone reacted simultaneously. Then, they brought him water and food. Of course, there was also a knife. They hoped that he would deal with the hair on his body and even brought him a set of clean clothes.


    Unexpectedly, this person did not do anything and just stared blankly at Li Chen and the others.


    ¡°So, you¡¯re human too?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. What did you think? We¡¯re savages?¡± Zhao Yu teased.


    ¡°Then I beg you, I beg you to save my daughter.¡± As he spoke, this person knelt down in front of everyone.


    ¡°Please, I¡¯ve finally waited for her. Go quickly. She¡¯s in the savages¡¯ tribe. I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll be in danger if you¡¯re late.¡±


    ¡°What? Your daughter?¡± Li Chen was surprised.


    It turned out that the person who was rescued was called Li Yi. He had brought his wife and children to this island for a vacation many years ago. However, they were thirsty on the way, so they went into the island to pick wild fruits. Inside, they saw a place with a lot of fruits, so they quickly went to pick them.


    However, what they did not expect was that just as they were plucking, the savages came out. Not only did they kill his wife on the spot, but they also imprisoned them in the tribe.


    ¡°So the skull in the orchard was your wife?¡± The man was enlightened.


    ¡°Then what are we waiting for? Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Hearing what happened to Li Yi, everyone sympathized with him, so they quickly picked up their weapons and prepared to set off.


    ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll go with you!¡±


    Li Yi also wanted to follow Li Chen and the others. ¡°Rest here. Trust us.¡± Li Chen stopped him.


    ¡°No, I¡¯ll go too. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to find the place if you go alone.

 Chapter 24

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°You¡¯re going too? Alright, then come with us.¡±


    Li Chen agreed to Li Yi¡¯s request and handed him a bow. At the same time, he also handed him some arrows, and Li Yi accepted them.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Li Chen and the others quickly set off.


    ¡°Li Chen, you guys have to be careful.¡± Zhao Yu and the others quickly ran out and reminded.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s fine. I can handle this.¡±


    Everyone felt that it was just going to the savages to save a little girl. What was so difficult about it? It was very easy.


    Li Chen and the others followed the original path and arrived outside the savages¡¯ tribe. At this moment, they were even closer to the savages¡¯ tribe.


    During this period of time, the savages had already discovered that Li Yi had escaped. They searched everywhere, shouting and pushing away angrily whenever they encountered something.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I should have said it earlier.¡± Li Yi could not help but apologize.


    ¡°I thought you were bad people just now. I was afraid that you would hurt my daughter, so I didn¡¯t dare to say anything. It wasn¡¯t until I arrived at your place that I realized that I¡¯ve let you down and made you suffer.¡±


    ¡°Hey, what are you talking about? It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s save your daughter first.¡±


    At this moment, the savages seemed to have gone crazy. They actually tore down the house where Li Yi was imprisoned. Just like that, that house was razed to the ground by the savages.


    ¡°Where is your daughter?¡± Li Chen asked Li Yi carefully.


    ¡°My daughter should be locked up in that house over there,¡± Li Yi said as he pointed at a house in the distance.


    That house should be the safest and most difficult to attack location in the entire savages¡¯ tribe, especially now that the savages were moving around the tribe.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Everyone, follow me!¡±


    Then, Li Chen brought everyone carefully to the side of a house and hid behind it. As soon as they walked over, a savage walked over. Right in front of them, there was a savage. Everyone was so frightened that they did not dare to breathe. They were all waiting for this savage to leave quickly.


    After a while, the savage finally left. Li Chen and the others used the same method to hide behind another house. Just like that, they finally approached that house.


    At the back of the house, Li Chen confirmed it again and again. Li Yi said with certainty that this was it.


    Just in case, Li Chen pressed his ear to the wall and listened carefully to the sounds inside. Sure enough, it was a little girl making a fuss inside. She should be afraid of the savages outside.


    When Li Chen saw this wall, he tapped it with his hand and immediately had an idea.


    ¡°Grab an arrow and dig!¡± Then he used the arrow to dig at the wall.


    Compared to going straight to the front, it was safer to go through the back of the house.


    The wall was made of mud, so it was easy to dig. After a while, a big hole was dug. Li Yi shouted into the hole impatiently.


    ¡°Daughter, I¡¯m your father.¡±


    The little girl inside heard Li Yi¡¯s shout and quickly ran over. Then, she crawled out of the hole. Li Chen had saved the little girl, so he planned to bring them back to the camp.


    ¡°The house next door is where the food of the savages is stored. They seem to have snatched fruits from somewhere, and they¡¯re all inside.¡±


    ¡°The houses over there are where the savages¡¯ weapons are stored. They¡¯ve probably put back all the weapons they¡¯ve made, but they¡¯re just bones so they¡¯re not much use.¡±


    ¡°What? Fruits?¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t these fruits what they stole from us?¡± Everyone immediately reacted.


    Li Yi quickly brought them to the house where the savages stored their food and followed Li Chen into the room.


    ¡°There¡¯s so much food, and it looks pretty full.¡±


    ¡°Li Chen, what should we do?¡±


    At this moment, after Li Chen realized that the savages had so much food, coupled with the fact that his food had been robbed, he made up his mind.


    ¡°Move them. Everyone will move them to the orchard we came from before moving back to where we live.¡±


    Hearing Li Chen¡¯s words, everyone quickly took action. Fortunately, the food had been divided into small portions by the savages, so it was easier for everyone to move it.


    Soon, all the food was moved to the orchard.


    ¡°This is too exciting!¡±


    ¡°Everyone, take a break. Prepare to move the things back to our camp.¡±


    ¡°Li Chen, bad news. The savages have discovered us and are chasing after us!¡±


    At this moment, the savages still did not know that their food had been robbed. They only saw Li Chen and the others trespassing their territory without permission and wanted to come out to attack.


    ¡°What do we do?¡±


    ¡°You guys cover us. We¡¯ll retreat.¡±


    ¡°What about the food?¡±


    ¡°At a time like this, who cares about food?¡±


    As he spoke, the savages had already caught up. They held weapons made of large bones and wanted to attack Li Chen and the others.


    Then, everyone hurriedly pulled out their bows and began to draw their bows to shoot at them. Seeing this, the savages hurriedly ran back. The savages knew that Li Chen and the others¡¯ weapons were more advanced and lethal than theirs.


    ¡°We¡¯re safe. Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s get the stuff back.¡±


    Li Chen and the others began to move. They planned to transport the food they had snatched from the savages back to their camp. This way, their food would be enough.


    When they returned to their camp, everyone was very excited to see Li Chen and the others return. Moreover, they had brought back so much food.


    ¡°Now we have something to eat.¡±


    ¡°Finally, I don¡¯t have to go hungry.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t these the fruits we picked?¡±


    Everyone wanted to celebrate, but Li Yi had changed his clothes and cut off all his long hair. After some treatment, Li Yi finally returned to his original appearance.


    ¡°Now you look more like a human!¡± Someone came over and mocked.


    ¡°Do you still remember me? At that time, I treated you like a savage and even asked you questions.¡±


    Li Yi looked at everyone and laughed loudly. Li Yi¡¯s daughter was also cleaned up by Zhao Yu. Finally, she no longer looked the same as when she was imprisoned.


    ¡°How did you come to this island?¡± Li Yi asked carefully.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. It¡¯s a long story.¡± Li Chen told Li Yi everything that had happened to them. Li Yi suddenly thought of something.


    Li Chen was very puzzled. He quickly asked Li Yi what he had thought of.


    ¡°Back then, before I came to this island, there were already developers planning to develop this place. They also shipped a batch of equipment and hid it in a cave. We might be able to find it if we go there.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that it¡¯s been so many years. I wonder if the equipment inside can still be used.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go take a look at dawn,¡± Li Chen suggested.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    Li Yi promised Li Chen that after dawn, he would bring them to the cave to see if there was anything that could be used. When everyone heard this, they were even more excited.


    After a night, the sky finally brightened. Many people planned to go to the cave under Li Yi¡¯s lead to find something useful.

 Chapter 25

    At dawn the next day, Li Yi set off with Li Chen and the others.


    After walking for a long time, they still did not reach the cave that Li Yi mentioned. Li Chen and the others really could not walk anymore.


    ¡°Where exactly is it?¡±


    ¡°Can you tell me how far it is? How many years has it been? Did you remember wrongly?¡±


    The others began to ask because they were worried that Li Yi had remembered wrongly. Although it had happened many years ago, after so many years, it was very likely that it had changed.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s far. Everyone, be careful. It should be nearby.¡±


    Li Chen looked at the surrounding terrain. There should not be a cave in such flat terrain. There was not even a mountain. How could there be a cave?


    ¡°The surrounding terrain doesn¡¯t look like there will be a cave.¡±


    Someone asked. Li Yi thought for a moment and quickly explained that the cave was formed by manually digging down.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that just a hole in the ground?¡±


    ¡°Who cares what hole it is? It¡¯s nearby. Everyone, search carefully.¡±


    Li Chen wondered how Li Yi could not even differentiate between a cave and a hole, so he began to search the surroundings carefully.


    ¡°Everyone, come and take a look! I found it!¡±


    Li Chen and the others quickly ran over. Sure enough, there was a hole on the ground that looked like a well. It was clearly dug by someone. Li Chen used his hand to brush away the soil on it.


    The well was covered with an iron lid and locked with a lock. It was obvious that this was done by someone in the past. Li Chen quickly went around to find something to open the lock.


    Quickly, they found a large rock which looked abnormal compared to the surroundings. Li Chen took the rock and began to smash it. The rock made a loud sound when it hit the lock.


    ¡°Li Chen, be careful!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, don¡¯t worry!¡±


    Li Chen continued to smash the broken lock with all his might. The lock was already rusty, but it was very huge. It would not take long to break it.


    Suddenly, someone noticed something abnormal.


    ¡°Li Chen, look over there!¡±


    ¡°Over there, look!¡±


    At this moment, Li Chen was still smashing with all his might and did not have the time to look. The people accompanying him hurriedly pulled Li Chen back. Only then did Li Chen realize that savages were rushing over.


    ¡°Not good! Run!¡±


    It turned out that the sound of the lock being smashed had alarmed the savages who were searching nearby. Yesterday, when the savages returned, they realized that their food had been stolen and the people they had captured had been saved. They were very angry, so they all came out to search for Li Chen and the others.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Li Chen shouted and quickly fled with the others. When the savages saw Li Chen and the others running, they quickly chased after them. Li Chen turned around and saw that they were still armed.


    Finally, they ran to a hill. Li Chen planned to fight the savages to the death with the advantage of the terrain. Everyone brought their bows and arrows when they came out this time and were prepared.


    Seeing this situation, the savages also learned to be smart. They watched from the foot of the hill. After a while, one of the savages took out something. The savages blew on it. It was something to store fire.


    ¡°Hurry up and fight! The savages are going to burn us to death!¡±


    As expected, in order to capture Li Chen and the others, the savages actually wanted to set fire to this island. In that case, it was very likely that they would perish together. Seeing this, Li Chen could only give the order to attack first.


    Everyone immediately began to draw their bows and shoot. Li Chen suddenly thought of something.


    ¡°Shoot their feet, not their bodies. Just chase them away!¡±


    When everyone heard Li Chen¡¯s words, they immediately lowered their altitude and shot all the arrows in front of the savages. Seeing this, the savages could only start to retreat. The arrows were effective.


    ¡°Give me back that thing!¡±


    At this moment, Li Yi was very excited to see the savages retreat. He seemed to be attracted by something on the savages, and he ran down the hill with all his might.


    Li Chen and the others wanted to pull Li Yi back, but it was too late. He quickly ran over and snatched the thing from the savages. Seeing this, the savages began to attack.


    The huge bone hit Li Yi¡¯s body heavily. Li Yi was knocked to the ground in a few moves, but he still protected the thing he had snatched from the savages.


    At this moment, Li Chen and the others released their arrows to cover Li Yi, but it was useless. Fortunately, the arrows hit a few of the savages. When the savages saw that their companions were injured, they quickly fled after beating Li Yi.


    Li Chen and the others quickly ran over to help Li Yi up. Li Yi slowly took out the thing from his hand and handed it to Li Chen and the others.


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave this to you. There¡¯s a treasure inside.¡±


    ¡°Please don¡¯t let the bad guys snatch it away, and please take good care of my daughter.¡±


    After saying that, Li Yi closed his eyes. Li Chen could not believe that Li Yi had been beaten to death by the savages. What¡¯s more, Li Chen still did not know what he had snatched.


    Li Chen had no choice but to put away his things first. Then, he went to the well and continued to smash the door lock with rocks. Finally, after smashing it for a long time, the door lock was finally opened.


    Li Chen lifted the iron lid. There was a dark hole below. Li Chen looked down. At this moment, one of the group stood up.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go down first!¡±


    He took the lead and slowly walked down the stairs. The lower he went, the darker it became. Li Chen regretted not bringing any kindling this time, and the savages did not leave anything behind as well.


    Using the light from above, they managed to reach the bottom. There was another door below.


    ¡°So this is the cave that Li Yi was talking about.¡±


    ¡°I thought a cave had to be in the mountains.¡±


    ¡°This is clearly a hole in the ground.¡±


    Li Chen realized that this was indeed a hole in the ground, and it was man-made. Li Chen guessed that after the developer came here back then, he had transported the supplies over, but there was no place to store them, so he dug such a hole underground.


    This door did not have a big lock, so Li Chen pushed the door open. After opening the door, they walked in.


    There was something in this cave! Everyone was looking for it excitedly.


    Here, Li Chen and the others found the iron frames, tools, and some oilcloth that the developer had moved over. Further in, they actually found a solar generator and some electrical appliances.


    Everyone was stunned by these discoveries. What was even more unexpected was that there were some seeds. There was wheat, corn, soybeans, and even some flower and grass seeds.


    These seeds could be stored for many years. Hence, Li Chen decided to move the seeds back first. Then, he would build a cart and move these big things back.


    Li Chen and the others each carried a bag of seeds and crawled out of the cave. They began to walk towards their camp. However, enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. Just as they were about to reach their camp, they encountered the bandits, Hua Long and the others.


    ¡°What should we do?¡± At this moment, Hua Long and the others were approaching them step by step.

 Chapter 26

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Heh, isn¡¯t this our dear Li Chen?¡± Hua Long said as he walked over.


    ¡°What? You haven¡¯t starved to death yet? What¡¯s on your shoulder?¡±


    Hua Long and the others hurriedly ran over and surrounded Li Chen and the others. Li Chen and the others could only place the seeds they were carrying on the ground.


    Because it was too sudden, Li Chen and the others did not have the time to hide the seed they had brought back. Just like that, Hua Long and the others discovered it. Hua Long approached the seed.


    He kicked with his foot, and Hua Long smiled smugly.


    ¡°Not bad. Where did you get the seeds to show filial piety to me?¡±


    At this moment, Li Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with anger, but he did not dare to resist at all. This was because Hua Long and the others actually each had a large machete, while Li Chen and the others only had bows and arrows.


    It turned out that ever since Hua Long and the others robbed Li Chen and the others last time, they had food and started searching around the island.


    After their search, they discovered that there was a lot of iron ore at the foot of a mountain. They moved the iron ore into the cave and began to refine it.


    The suited man had actually undergone training in the past, so he knew how to survive in the wild. He actually used these iron ores to refine iron and then forged a machete for everyone.


    With machetes, it was much more convenient for Hua Long and the others to hunt. This time, they happened to be out hunting and bumped into Li Chen and the others.


    However, Li Chen also had an idea. They had been to these places before, and they had also set up traps nearby. If they attracted Hua Long and the others over, it might be useful. However, they had to pray that the traps were not destroyed.


    After Hua Long discovered these seeds, he got his subordinates to collect them and planned to bring them back to his cave.


    ¡°Haha, with Li Chen¡¯s filial piety, we have to farm too.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see how Li Chen¡¯s seed will grow.¡±


    As Hua Long spoke, he took the seed and planned to leave. He did not want to hurt Li Chen and the others.


    Hua Long and the others turned around and started walking in the direction of their cave. Li Chen and the others were also surprised by Hua Long¡¯s actions. He didn¡¯t expect Hua Long to not hurt them this time.


    ¡°Big Brother, why don¡¯t we take advantage of this opportunity to deal with Li Chen and the others?¡±


    ¡°Are you stupid? Who¡¯s going to provide for us after we get rid of them?¡±


    Hua Long had a lot of ideas. He had to admit that his idea made sense. In that case, when he was out of supplies, he could attack Li Chen and the others and snatch their things.


    ¡°Hua Long, if you let us go this time, I¡¯ll be a good person to the end.¡± Li Chen suddenly stopped Hua Long.


    ¡°Oh? What do you want now?¡±


    ¡°The west side. There are still wild goats and rabbits we just harvested there. I¡¯ll give them all to you, but you have to promise us that you won¡¯t hurt us.¡±


    When Hua Long heard that his method had actually worked, he quickly turned back.


    ¡°Are you serious?¡±


    ¡°Why would I lie to you? But you have to promise not to hurt us!¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± Hua Long promised Li Chen and the others.


    After that, he brought his brothers and walked towards the west. When everyone heard Li Chen say the west, they immediately knew that there was a trap for them there.


    ¡°This Hua Long is dreaming. He still wants to steal from us!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. He¡¯s really a toad lusting after swan meat.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, stop talking. Hurry up and follow them to snatch our seeds back.¡±


    Li Chen asked everyone to hide and secretly walked west to take the opportunity to snatch the seed back.


    Hua Long and the others walked towards the west.


    ¡°Will Li Chen lie to us? Why isn¡¯t there anything here?¡±


    Hua Long¡¯s subordinate was the first to ask a question.


    ¡°Li Chen, how dare you lie to me? The few of you, wait for me here with the seeds. The rest of you, hurry up and follow me.¡±


    Hua Long suddenly reacted, so he got his brothers to circle over from the side, wanting to stop Li Chen and the others and educate them.


    Just as Hua Long and the others walked over, they suddenly fell into a huge pit.


    After Hua Long fell in, Li Chen and the others saw that the time was ripe, so they quickly came out to subdue the few people holding the seeds and pushed them into the deep pit.


    ¡°Li Chen, how dare you lie to me!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll regret it!¡±


    Hua Long cursed in the pit, but it was difficult for them to come out now. Li Chen and the others quickly carried the seeds and quickly returned to their camp.


    After returning to their camp, Li Chen asked everyone to quickly collect rocks and strengthen their houses. This was because they had definitely angered Hua Long this time. Hua Long and the others would definitely take the opportunity to take revenge on them.


    At this moment, Hua Long and the others, who had fallen into the deep pit, were thinking of a way to get out of it. For this pit, Li Chen and the others had for a long time just to let wild goats fall in.


    ¡°Come here and squat down. I¡¯ll step on you and climb up.¡±


    Hua Long asked one of his brothers to squat down. Then, he stepped on that person¡¯s shoulder. The others supported Hua Long. Hua Long kicked hard and almost succeeded, but he still slid down.


    ¡°Forget it, just watch me.¡±


    The suited man walked forward. Finally, he took the machete and began to dig hard on the wall of the hole. After a while, a hole was dug out under his feet. Then, he dug a few more.


    Just like that, the suited man successfully dug a few holes. Using it, Hua Long and the others climbed up.


    ¡°Li Chen, I must kill you!¡±


    Hua Long was so angry that he wanted to look for Li Chen and the others, but he was stopped by the suited man.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. This will only ruin things.¡±


    When Hua Long heard the suited man¡¯s words, he quickly suppressed his anger and did not let his emotions get the better of him. They quickly returned to the cave. This time, Hua Long and the others had suffered double losses.


    ¡°What should I do? I can¡¯t take this lying down!¡± Hua Long said angrily.


    ¡°With Li Chen there, it looks like we won¡¯t be able to move for a while. I think we have to get someone else,¡± the suited man said.


    ¡°Change? Who? You?¡± Hua Long asked in confusion.


    Then, he took out his gun and continued to play with it. Hua Long regretted not bringing his gun with him just now.


    ¡°Who?¡± The suited man smiled slyly.


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s your former subordinate,¡± the suited man said.


    Hua Long immediately understood that the person the suited man was talking about was none other than Zhang Yang.


    ¡°Alright! Come here!¡± Hua Long called his brothers over.


    ¡°Listen to my arrangements. Get some dry food tomorrow and set off east. Don¡¯t come back if you can¡¯t finish it.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, prepare to eat tonight. Send these brothers off and wish them a triumphant return!¡±


    Hua Long immediately arranged for people to set off tomorrow.

 Chapter 27

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    The goal of these brothers who were sent by Hua Long was to find Zhang Yang¡¯s territory. Hua Long was getting ready to attack Zhang Yang.


    The few of them carried their rations and headed towards the direction of Zhang Yang¡¯s camp.


    At this moment, Li Chen and the others were making the best use of their time to build their houses and courtyards in their camp. Previously, Li Chen and the others had planned to use stones to build their houses, so they had been accumulating stones.


    ¡°Li Chen, these stones should be enough for us, right?¡±


    ¡°I think it¡¯s about time. Why don¡¯t we start working?¡± Li Chen and the others finally began to take action.


    This time, Li Chen chose his new home at the edge of the cliff. They first dug a hole in the cliff. Because the cliff was made of stone, this made Li Chen and the others move slowly.


    ¡°Li Chen, if this continues, Hua Long and the others might come before we can build it.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. We can¡¯t cut through this stone either, not to mention that we are just using a stone pick.¡±


    Li Chen thought for a moment and finally thought of a solution. He quickly brought his men back to the cave. There was the iron block they needed in the cave.


    After searching in the hole, Li Chen actually found explosives. It turned out that the previous developers had also encountered this problem, so they had also transported explosives.


    ¡°There¡¯s something!¡±


    Li Chen took back the explosives and handed them to everyone.


    ¡°Where did you find it?¡± Wang Qi said excitedly as she looked at the explosives.


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s that hole in the ground. I¡¯ll bring you guys to take a look when I¡¯m free.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    With the help of the explosives, they quickly dug a deep hole in the cliff wall. Then, they used the stones that they had found long ago to build it outside.


    Everyone immediately took action. Some moved the stones, while others were in charge of transporting clay back.


    Finally, after a period of hard work, it had a rough shape. Li Chen looked at it and was extremely happy.


    ¡°It won¡¯t be easy for Hua Long and the others to come this time!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. This time, it¡¯s a stone house. Besides, we can put things in the hole at the back.¡±


    According to Li Chen and the others¡¯ design, they first built a cave. Then, a house was built outside the cave. This house was where they lived, and the cave at the back was where they placed things. When the time came, they would build a courtyard wall with stones outside.


    ¡°Brother, we¡¯re back! We¡¯ve found the place where Zhang Yang is!¡±


    The few people who had gone out to look for Zhang Yang had finally returned. This time, they had found Zhang Yang¡¯s exact location.


    ¡°Brother, that brat, Zhang Yang, has stored a lot of things. There¡¯s no need to worry about food and drink there.¡±


    Just as they had said, Zhang Yang had been developing steadily during this period of time. He had already harvested a few grains, and the amount of grain he had stored was enough to feed them for a few years.


    In order to prevent Hua Long and the others from attacking, Zhang Yang had also built some fortifications. However, they were all the most basic ones. After hearing the descriptions of his subordinates, Hua Long was extremely happy.


    ¡°In that case, what are we waiting for? Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Hua Long immediately led the team and set off in the direction of Zhang Yang.


    After a few days of travel, Hua Long and the others approached Zhang Yang¡¯s territory. Hua Long and the others were outside checking the situation around them, preparing to choose a suitable time to attack Zhang Yang and the others.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, bad news. Someone is coming from outside!¡± Someone had already discovered Hua Long and the others and quickly returned to report the situation.


    ¡°Who? Who on this island can come here?¡± Zhang Yang was very surprised. From the time they came here, other than the few people who escaped from Hua Long, no one else had come here.


    Zhang Yang also felt a sense of danger in his heart. He felt that the person who came this time was definitely not a good person.


    ¡°Quickly go out and take a look. Remember not to alert the enemy.¡± Zhang Yang asked his brothers to go out and check.


    ¡°It¡¯s Hua Long and the others!¡± The brothers quickly returned to report the situation.


    ¡°Hua Long? Why did they come here?¡± Zhang Yang was shocked. Could it be that they had already subdued Li Chen and the others?


    Zhang Yang felt that it would only be disadvantageous for him if he continued like this. Therefore, he made a bold decision.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go! Follow me out to meet them!¡± Zhang Yang led his brothers outside.


    When he was outside, he looked at Hua Long and the others. ¡°Hua Long, I know you¡¯re here. Come out.¡±


    Following Zhang Yang¡¯s shout, Hua Long no longer continued hiding. He quickly walked out and laughed loudly at Zhang Yang.


    ¡°Haha, how did you know it was me? Brother, you seem to be doing well.¡±


    Hua Long also exchanged a few pleasantries with him. At this moment, Zhang Yang did not want to bother with him because Zhang Yang felt that Hua Long must have something bad to ask of him.


    However, Zhang Yang¡¯s initiative had disrupted Hua Long¡¯s plan. Hua Long could only take it one step at a time.


    ¡°I brought my brothers out to hunt this time and happened to pass by. I was wondering who it was, so it¡¯s you.¡±


    Hua Long lied. He wanted to take the opportunity to leave this place and think of a way to launch a sneak attack.


    ¡°After all, you treated me quite well previously. What exactly do you want? Tell me.¡±


    Faced with Zhang Yang¡¯s questioning, Hua Long did not say much. He still insisted that he was hunting and passed by here. Seeing that, Zhang Yang could not say anything else and could only bid farewell to Hua Long and the others.


    Hua Long brought his brothers into the forest.


    ¡°Big Brother, what should we do?¡± Hua Long¡¯s subordinate asked.


    ¡°What else can we do? Let¡¯s do it tonight!¡±


    Therefore, Hua Long and the others hid themselves and planned to attack at night. At this moment, Zhang Yang felt that Hua Long¡¯s departure this time was definitely a trap, so he instructed his brothers to be careful.


    At night, Hua Long saw that the time was ripe, so he led his brothers to attack Zhang Yang¡¯s camp.


    Hua Long and the others held bows and arrows in their hands and carried large machetes on their backs. They were not afraid of exposing themselves at all.


    Zhang Yang¡¯s brothers could not withstand Hua Long¡¯s attack at all. Soon, one of them fell into a pool of blood.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, what should we do?¡±


    Zhang Yang looked at his fallen brother and felt terrible. He finally made up his mind. ¡°Negotiate with Hua Long.¡±


    Hence, he quickly went out to stop Hua Long, who was about to make a move. ¡°Tell me, what do you want to do?¡±


    Hua Long was overjoyed when he heard this. This was exactly what he wanted. Since that was the case, he wouldn¡¯t be polite.


    ¡°Not much. Give me two years¡¯ worth of food!¡±


    ¡°Are you crazy? I only have one and a half years of food at most.¡±


    ¡°Alright! Deal!¡±


    Hua Long knew when to stop. Just like that, he snatched a year and a half worth of food from Zhang Yang. Hua Long smiled happily. The next day, at dawn, he brought his brothers to move the food.


    Zhang Yang was furious as he watched Hua Long move away his food bit by bit. He felt that this could not go on.

 Chapter 28

    ¡°Li Chen, we¡¯ve moved the things in!¡±


    ¡°How about looking at our new house?¡± Wang Qi said happily.


    Finally, Li Chen and the others¡¯ new house was built. He quickly went to the house and opened his backpack. This time, the backpack gave him some medicine.


    Medicine was what they needed, so he quickly kept it.


    At this moment, Zhao Yu returned with Li Yi¡¯s daughter. After spending some time together, Li Yi¡¯s daughter had already played with Wang Qi and Zhao Yu.


    Li Chen suddenly thought of something, so he quickly stopped Li Yi¡¯s daughter. Then, he took out the thing that Li Yi had given him before he died.


    ¡°This thing? Ah! It belongs to my father!¡± Li Yi¡¯s daughter recognized it at a glance.


    ¡°Then do you know what this is?¡± Li Chen quickly asked.


    Li Yi¡¯s daughter shook her head and told Li Chen that her father had come to the island because of this thing. Only then did Li Chen realize that the so-called trip to the island was a lie.


    After hearing what Li Yi¡¯s daughter said, Li Chen finally knew the truth of the matter. It turned out that Li Yi had obtained this thing. Then, he brought his entire family here in the name of traveling. Moreover, there was a ship full of supplies that was hidden by her father.


    Li Chen suddenly remembered that the supplies on the ship should be in that hole in the ground. No wonder Li Yi knew about that hole. The so-called developer had never developed this place.


    Li Chen finally understood why the developer suddenly stopped developing after putting in so much effort to transport so much equipment over.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then why did Li Yi tell us about this in the end?¡± Someone beside him said.


    ¡°I know. He did it so we could take better care of his daughter. He knew we wouldn¡¯t be able to go back once we got here.¡±


    Li Chen said indifferently. At this moment, Li Yi¡¯s daughter was playing with that thing. After she played with it, she accidentally opened it.


    ¡°It can actually be opened!¡± Zhao Yu said immediately after seeing it.


    ¡°It¡¯s so magical. There¡¯s something inside.¡± Li Yi¡¯s daughter took it out and handed it to Li Chen.


    Li Chen took it and opened it. It looked like a map. Moreover, it seemed old. ¡®There should be some treasure here,¡¯ Li Chen thought to himself.


    There were still many secrets about Li Yi. Now that Li Yi was dead, Li Chen knew that it was even more difficult to figure them out.


    Li Chen did not think further and could only focus on building the courtyard wall first. This time, their courtyard wall was not only high but also very thick, like a city wall. Now, with the protection of the courtyard wall, the enemy could only come down from the cliff if they wanted to attack.


    However, this cliff was abnormally tall and steep. It was almost impossible for ordinary people to attack from above. Li Chen and the others had built their new house, so they moved everything over and added defensive weapons.


    ¡°Why is this happening?!¡±


    ¡°I just want to live here well. I can¡¯t go back. Is it wrong for me to live here?¡±


    Because he was ambushed by Hua Long, Zhang Yang was very vexed. He was thinking about what to do next.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s very dangerous for us to close the door without knowing their situation.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Although we don¡¯t lack anything here and don¡¯t have to worry about food and drink, we have to go out and take a look.¡±


    Zhang Yang was enlightened by the other brothers. Indeed, after such a long time, Zhang Yang had never seen how the others were doing. Zhang Yang made a bold decision.


    Zhang Yang brought a few of his brothers along with him and carried some rations on his back. He then went deep into the island to check out the situation. After a long journey, Zhang Yang accidentally arrived at Li Chen¡¯s camp.


    ¡°Li Chen actually developed so well? Bastard!¡±


    A sense of jealousy rose in Zhang Yang¡¯s heart. He had thought that he was the best, but he did not expect that Li Chen and the others had already moved into the stone house.


    ¡°I want to destroy Li Chen and the others!¡± Zhang Yang said to his brothers.


    After listening to Zhang Yang¡¯s words, the few of them decided to attack Li Chen¡¯s camp.


    At night, Zhang Yang took advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak up on Li Chen and his gang. He planned to climb up the wall and ambush them.


    Just as Zhang Yang and his gang were about to make their move¡­


    ¡°Who?¡±


    The patrolling men noticed Zhang Yang and his gang and shot a few arrows at them. Zhang Yang and his gang quickly ran away, avoiding the arrows.


    ¡°Run!¡± Zhang Yang shouted and quickly led his brothers away from this place.


    ¡°Li Chen, someone just ambushed us again!¡± The person who had just discovered Zhang Yang and the others quickly came to inform Li Chen.


    ¡°What? Another invader?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. A few people tried to climb up the wall just now, but we found them and chased them away.¡±


    Li Chen was very shocked when he heard that. The first person he thought of was Hua Long. Because of what happened last time, Hua Long would definitely hold a grudge, so he probably would ambush them in the dark.


    ¡°What did they look like? Did you see them clearly?¡± Li Chen double-checked.


    ¡°They don¡¯t look like Hua Long and the others. It¡¯s impossible for Hua Long and the others to have such clothes.¡±


    When Li Chen heard this, another person suddenly appeared in his mind, and that person was Zhang Yang.


    ¡°I know, it might be Zhang Yang!¡± Li Chen said.


    ¡°What? Zhang Yang?¡±


    Everyone was shocked when they heard what Li Chen said. They did not expect Zhang Yang to still be alive. They also did not expect Zhang Yang to still dare to ambush them.


    ¡°This time, we have more difficulties. Hua Long is already enough for us to deal with. Now, there¡¯s another one.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I believe in our strength. Let¡¯s continue collecting food tomorrow.¡±


    Li Chen comforted everyone. Li Chen felt that the most important thing now was to stock up on food. The more food, the better. Therefore, everyone unanimously decided to start planting food crops the next day and plant all the seeds.


    Zhang Yang and his gang did not succeed in ambushing Li Chen. At night, they could only hide in the woods.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, what do you think we should do next?¡± Someone asked.


    ¡°What should I do? I¡¯ll go back and think of something when the sun rises.¡± Zhang Yang quickly voiced out his thoughts.


    At dawn the next day, Zhang Yang brought his brothers back to his place. Li Chen and the others came out to check on the situation last night, and they found that someone had indeed climbed this place.


    After a few days of running around, Zhang Yang returned to his camp. Zhang Yang checked his rations. It was only enough for a year. Zhang Yang immediately devoted himself to farming.


    Li Chen and the others also took action and began to use their current land to sow food in preparation for the future. On the other hand, Hua Long was living the most comfortably at this moment because he had just snatched enough food to feed them for a year and a half.

 Chapter 29

    As this conflict passed, Li Chen and the others temporarily returned to normal development.


    ¡°Li Chen, we should go out and check our fish basket.¡±


    When Li Chen heard this, he quickly went to the beach with everyone to check their fish baskets. Their fish baskets had not been checked for a long time, so they should have caught a lot of fish.


    When they arrived at the seaside, they realized that the fish basket was empty. At this moment, Li Chen felt that they should change to another fishing spot, as there were not many fish here.


    When everyone heard Li Chen¡¯s words, they brought the fish basket and planned to change to a new spot.


    Looking along the coast, the distant stones that held everyone¡¯s attention were a few large boulders. These boulders formed several natural fishing grounds.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s best if we put the fish basket there,¡± Li Chen said.


    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go!¡±


    Therefore, they quickly walked over. At this moment, there were some wind and waves on the sea. This was something Li Chen had not expected.


    The wind and waves rolled up and made violent sounds when they hit the rocks. ¡°This damn weather. It¡¯s clearly sunny, but there are still waves!¡± Li Chen complained.


    ¡°Who knows? But it¡¯s good to have wind and rain. It hasn¡¯t rained in a long time.¡±


    The others added. Then, one of them climbed up the rock with difficulty. ¡°Come, hand me the fish basket.¡± The person who climbed up the rock called out to Li Chen and the others. They handed the fish basket to him.


    ¡°Watch me, watch me throw it!¡± He planned to throw the fish basket, but the rocks that had just touched the seawater were exceptionally slippery, so he slipped under the inertia and fell into the sea.


    ¡°Hurry!¡±


    ¡°Quickly save him!¡±


    As he spoke, Li Chen jumped into the sea and swam towards that person. Fortunately, that person also knew how to swim, so he didn¡¯t drown. However, he fell from such a high rock, quite heavily at that.


    Blood seeped out of his clothes. Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Chen hurriedly called for everyone to carry this person back to their camp.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?¡± Zhao Yu asked anxiously when she saw Li Chen and the others carrying the injured back.


    ¡°He fell off a rock. Hurry up and get my bag.¡± As he spoke, Li Chen quickly instructed Zhao Yu.


    Zhao Yu brought over Li Chen¡¯s bag and a few clean strips of cloth. Then, Li Chen bandaged this person simply. This person cried out in pain. It seemed like he had fallen quite heavily.


    ¡°He¡¯s fine. He should have fallen on his bones. There¡¯s no way to treat him at the moment. He can only recuperate.¡± Li Chen voiced his opinion. Then, he took out his medicine from his bag.


    ¡°This is the medicine I brought with me. It works. Take it quickly.¡± Li Chen fed the person the medicine and let him continue to rest. Li Chen was about to leave when he was stopped by the injured person.


    ¡°Li Chen, that fish basket was broken because of me. I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? That stupid fish basket should have been replaced a long time ago.¡±


    After Li Chen went out, he found new vines and remade the fish basket. At this moment, Wang Qi returned from outside.


    ¡°Look! Li Chen, is it nice?¡± Wang Qi was holding a bouquet of flowers.


    ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful. Where did you get it?¡± Li Chen asked curiously.


    ¡°It¡¯s in your seed. There¡¯s a flower seed in that pile of seeds. I planted it, but I didn¡¯t expect it to really sprout.¡±


    Li Chen suddenly thought of the flower seeds he had picked up. He did not expect the flowers to be so beautiful.


    Wang Qi happily took the flowers to show Zhao Yu, while Li Chen continued to weave the fish basket with the others. After he was done, he threw the fish basket into the sea and waited for the fish to take the bait.


    After Li Chen was done with this, he walked to the nearby hill alone. He sat down and began to check the situation around him. From here, he could see where they lived.


    At this moment, Li Chen suddenly thought of Li Yi¡¯s map. He took it out and studied it. There was a pentagram drawn by a person in the middle of the picture. Li Chen guessed that it might be the hole in the ground.


    The place where the savages were written might be the savages¡¯ tribe. In that case, this map should be the topographic map of the entire island. There was also a place with a five-pointed star drawn on it. Li Chen guessed that there must be something else there.


    However, Li Chen looked at the distance. It was very far. He felt that if he had enough ability in the future, he had to go and take a look and see what unspeakable things were going on there.


    ¡°Li Chen, you¡¯re here.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Chen called out to him when he saw the person who came.


    ¡°I have nothing to do recently. Brothers, why don¡¯t we go in the hole again and move the things back?¡±


    When Li Chen heard this person¡¯s thoughts, he thought the same thing.


    ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Therefore, they immediately decided to go to the cave to move some supplies back. This time, Li Chen and the others brought bows and arrows. Along the way, Li Chen thought of something.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you think we¡¯re missing something?¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Iron! We lack iron. Hua Long and the others already have iron sabers, but we still are using wooden weapons!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯ll discuss it when we get back.¡±


    Soon, they arrived at the cave again. Li Chen opened the entrance of the cave and they quickly walked in. There were still many things in the cave that had not been moved.


    ¡°Li Chen, look at this!¡±


    ¡°Oh, this is the generator we found last time.¡± Li Chen casually inspected it a few times. It should be solar powered, and there were many solar panels.


    Li Chen and the others mainly moved these things back. In addition to power generators, there were also some lighting fixtures, such as lamps and colored lights. These were all transported to the island by Li Yi.


    After moving these equipment back to their camp, Li Chen and the others placed the solar panels on their roof, making the roof look stronger.


    ¡°Li Chen, take it quickly!¡± The person below handed Li Chen the tools. Li Chen carefully fixed the solar panels.


    ¡°Give me the wire.¡±


    ¡°Alright!¡±


    The tense and busy work was finally over. All the devices had been installed, but what worried Li Chen the most at the moment was the battery. After so many years, he did not know if the battery could still be used. It would be best if it could still be used.


    As the day¡¯s sun shone, there should be a lot of electricity generated. In the evening, everyone could not wait for the night to come so that they could see if their lights would be on.


    Finally, it was almost dark. Everyone returned to the house. At this moment, only Li Chen was outside.


    ¡°Li Chen, we¡¯re ready! Let¡¯s begin!¡± Wang Qi shouted excitedly. Everyone was watching the light bulb above their heads.


    ¡°Alright, give me a moment,¡± Li Chen said as he flipped the switch.


    ¡°Wow!¡± The people in the room exclaimed.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is it done?¡± Li Chen asked, but no one answered him.

 Chapter 30

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Li Chen heard that no one responded to him, so he hurriedly rushed into the house.


    Li Chen, who entered the room, was also stunned.


    The lights installed during the day were all lit. Li Chen also found it unbelievable. He did not expect that the equipment could still be used after so many years.


    Seeing Li Chen walk in, Wang Qi quickly rushed up and hugged him.


    ¡°Wow, you¡¯re awesome!¡± Wang Qi said excitedly.


    At this moment, Li Chen was frightened by Wang Qi¡¯s sudden hug. He quickly patted Wang Qi gently, pushed her away, and looked at everyone.


    ¡°We can finally see the light!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. After such a long time, we finally have electricity!¡±


    Everyone actually cried excitedly. Li Chen looked at Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu seemed abnormally calm, as if she was jealous of what had just happened.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you jealous?¡± Li Chen walked forward and pretended to ask.


    ¡°Hmph, that¡¯s not true.¡± After saying that, Zhao Yu left and walked to another place.


    With light, they finally didn¡¯t have to be blind at night. Also, it was now relatively safer at night.


    Everyone gathered together to discuss the future arrangements. At this moment, someone suggested that some people keep the crops that were about to ripen while another group followed Li Chen out to continue searching for new resources.


    Everyone agreed to this suggestion, so they decided that the most important thing now was to find iron ore and make usable iron.


    The next day, Li Chen began the related work. Some people went to the forest to find iron ore, while some cut wood which would be needed as iron refinement required a large amount of wood. The others began to collect clay to make furnaces.


    The people who went out only returned after a long time. They happily told Li Chen that they had really found iron, so they quickly carried the iron ore back with their baskets.


    Now that they had something to work with, it was about to begin. Li Chen and the others began to refine iron. After a long period of hard work, they really refined iron. Everyone was extremely excited.


    Having iron meant that they could make new iron products, especially weapons..


    ¡°Look, someone else had found this place too.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s obvious that someone dug it up. Beasts wouldn¡¯t dig it up like this.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s also this. Only a human can smash it down like this.¡±


    The five savages were discussing something when they saw the iron ore. Li Chen¡¯s people coming to dig for iron ore had alarmed them.


    ¡°I thought it was an earthquake. It¡¯s been knocking non-stop since early in the morning.¡±


    ¡°What do we do?¡±


    The five of them began to discuss. The leader snorted.


    ¡°What should we do? It¡¯s none of our business, as long as they don¡¯t hurt us.¡±


    These five people were none other than Li Chen¡¯s other classmates. They were originally outdoor survival enthusiasts. They had also come to this island after the crash.


    However, as soon as they arrived on this island, they landed to the furthest place and lost contact with the main group. There were only five of them and they had survived until now. It was Li Chen and the others¡¯ search for iron ore that had alarmed them.


    The leader of these people was called Zhang Xue. Although she was a woman, she had been living outdoors all year round and had mastered her skills. The people around her didn¡¯t even know whether she was a human or an animal.


    Only after Li Chen and the others left did they dare to come out of their cave to check. After living here for a long time, their hair had not been cut off, which made them look like savages.


    ¡°Does that mean there are other people alive on this island?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be so sure. What if they¡¯re savages?¡± Zhang Xue said.


    Therefore, they decided not to alert the enemy first. They hid in the distance and secretly checked the situation. At this moment, Li Chen and the others came to collect iron ore.


    ¡°Hurry up, dig more. It¡¯s not enough.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really not enough. It¡¯s too difficult to carry it on our backs.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go back and make a wooden cart. That way, we can transport more!¡±


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get a cart when we get back. We¡¯ll come back later.¡±


    Listening to their conversation, Zhang Xue knew that it was humans and not savages. Hence, they quickly went out because they finally met humans.


    ¡°Who are you guys?¡± Zhang Xue and the others quickly ran out to greet them.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    ¡°Ah savages, run!¡±


    When these people who were digging iron ore saw Zhang Xue and the others, they ran away. They thought that they had encountered savages again and did not dare to look back. Zhang Xue and the others chased after them relentlessly.


    ¡°Run, there are savages.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t run anymore. I can¡¯t run anymore.¡±


    However, Zhang Xue and the others still chased after them quickly. Helpless, they could only continue running.


    ¡°Hey, where are you guys from?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. We¡¯re human too. We¡¯re trapped here.¡±


    ¡°Did you hear that? They said they are humans!¡± One of them heard Zhang Xue and the others shouting.


    ¡°Run quickly. The savages must be humans too!¡±


    Everyone continued to run. After running for an unknown period of time, they finally shook off Zhang Xue and the others. Seeing this, Zhang Xue did not continue chasing.


    The few people who returned to their residence quickly told Li Chen what they had seen and heard in the forest. Li Chen also found it unbelievable, but Li Chen guessed that there might really be other survivors.


    ¡°How is that possible? How long has it been?¡±


    ¡°What if they¡¯re survival enthusiasts? I remember that I have classmates who love this kind of sport. They would stay in the wilderness for more than a month as soon as they went out.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. Those are probably just lies.¡± The others found it unbelievable.


    Li Chen did not think too much about it. He only told everyone not to collect iron ore and refine them first. The others felt that this was fine, so they only refined iron near their camp.


    ¡°What do you think we should do? They haven¡¯t been here for a long time.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. How many days has it been? We scared them away.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. If they don¡¯t come, we¡¯ll go find them.¡± Zhang Xue said.


    Hence, they planned to follow the traces they left behind and continue searching. Looking in the direction ahead, Zhang Xue felt that there would definitely be people living there.


    Ever since they came to this island, Zhang Xue and the others had also wanted to look for others. However, because the five of them had limited ability, they could only survive in one place. In that kind of situation, it was the best choice for them not to wander around.


    Therefore, they had always stayed in their camp and had never gone to the depths of the forest to check on the situation inside until Li Chen and the others came to collect iron ore.


    This time, Zhang Xue made up her mind. She had to go over and take a look because she finally knew that there were other people alive on the island.


    ¡°Li Chen, look!¡±


    ¡°There are so many!¡±

 Chapter 31

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    As the others cheered, Li Chen quickly ran over to check.


    It turned out that it was the iron they had refined in the iron-forging furnace. Li Chen did not expect them to refine so much. They quickly collected the iron pieces.


    However, at this moment, Zhang Xue and the others had already found the trail Li Chen and the others had left behind.


    ¡°Look, there are really people living in front.¡±


    ¡°I see it. There¡¯s smoke.¡±


    Zhang Xue and the others saw the smoke coming from Li Chen¡¯s camp and concluded that there must be people living there. Hence, they sped up and wanted to quickly come over to check on the situation.


    Finally, they arrived near Li Chen¡¯s camp and saw Li Chen and the others who were busy.


    ¡°What should we do now? Are we going in?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re human too. Should we go over there?¡±


    Zhang Xue thought for a moment and finally made up her mind. ¡°Go! Go towards them!¡±


    The few of them quickly ran to Li Chen and the others. Li Chen was very surprised to see them that he quickly picked up his spear.


    ¡°Who are you?¡±


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    Li Chen looked at the five long-haired monsters in front of him and quickly put on a defensive posture. He did not know if the five people in front of him were humans or ghosts.


    ¡°You¡¯re Li Chen?¡± Zhang Xue saw that the person in front of her was actually her classmate, Li Chen.


    ¡°Oh? You know me?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s me, I¡¯m Zhang Xue!¡± As she spoke, Zhang Xue quickly tidied her hair, revealing her face.


    When Li Chen saw that the leader in front of him was indeed Zhang Xue, he was very shocked. He did not expect them to still be alive after such a long time.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to still be alive¡­¡± Li Chen put away his spear and said to them.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t expect that we would survive by hunting and picking wild fruits for so long.¡±


    As Zhang Xue spoke, she was actually a little sad. Perhaps it was because she had not seen anyone else for a long time. Moreover, they were classmates, so she was especially enthusiastic.


    ¡°Come in!¡± Li Chen invited them into the house.


    As soon as they entered, the five of them were immediately shocked. They did not expect this place to be built so well by Li Chen. They had spent a long time living in the forest to build a wooden house, but Li Chen and the others was actually living in a stone house.


    Seeing the five people Li Chen brought in, the others were also very surprised.


    ¡°Li Chen, why did you bring the savages in?¡±


    ¡°Li Chen, what are you doing?¡±


    Everyone was in disbelief. Li Chen quickly explained to them what had happened.


    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t misunderstand. These are my classmates. They¡¯re also trapped on a deserted island. They only found us now.¡±


    At this moment, the few people who had gone to collect iron ore also walked over. They sized up the images of Zhang Xue and the others in front of them and suddenly shouted.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t they the savages who chased us the other day?¡±


    Everyone laughed out loud when they heard their words. Zhang Xue quickly apologized to them and told them that she had chased them that day just to ask if they were human.


    The misunderstanding was finally resolved. Li Chen and the others quickly entertained Zhang Xue and the others. Everyone took out delicious food. When Zhang Xue and the others saw so much food, they actually wolfed it down.


    With the arrival of the night, the lights in Li Chen¡¯s residence lit up. Zhang Xue found it unbelievable. She did not expect Li Chen to have electricity and light on this deserted island.


    At night, Li Chen and Zhang Xue started chatting. Li Chen admired Zhang Xue and the others for participating in Deserted Island Survival when they were in university. Moreover, they even won prizes at that time.


    At this moment, Zhang Xue felt that even after what she had learned in university, she was still inferior to Li Chen and the others. At this moment, she was deeply jealous. The next day, she asked Li Chen if they could move in with them. Li Chen agreed, so Zhang Xue and the others wanted to return to their original place to move their things.


    On the way, someone took the lead and said, ¡°Li Chen¡¯s place is so good, but it¡¯s actually connected to electricity.¡±


    ¡°Looks like that kid is quite something. I wonder when we can use electricity.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Didn¡¯t Zhang Xue ask Li Chen? We¡¯ll move over too. This way, we can live a good life.¡±


    ¡°Can you guys shut up!¡± Zhang Xue said angrily. The others quickly stopped talking and did not continue.


    When they arrived at their camp, Zhang Xue and the others began to pack their things. As Zhang Xue packed her things, she said fiercely, ¡°Hmph! Li Chen, your place will be mine sooner or later!¡±


    When the others heard this, they were stunned and thought that they had heard wrongly. They hurriedly asked Zhang Xue again, and Zhang Xue finally revealed her plan.


    ¡°Li Chen? Hmph, can he properly build that camp up? Don¡¯t forget that we¡¯re the wilderness survival experts. What can a child like him do? When the time comes, that base will be mine. Watch me!¡±


    Then, they packed their things and moved to Li Chen¡¯s place. Li Chen was very happy that their team had grown stronger again, so he quickly prepared a welcoming banquet for them. After dinner that night, it was time to sleep.


    At this moment, Zhang Xue finally knew that her time had come, so she quickly said to Li Chen, ¡°Li Chen, I¡¯ve just arrived and I¡¯m not familiar with the surroundings yet. Why don¡¯t you take me out for a walk?¡±


    Li Chen thought about it and agreed to Zhang Xue¡¯s request. Then, he brought Zhang Xue to the outside of the camp.


    ¡°Look, this is our water source. There, that¡¯s our toilet, and that¡¯s our vegetable garden.¡± Li Chen was introducing carefully, but Zhang Xue was distracted.


    Just as Li Chen continued to walk forward, Zhang Xue suddenly hugged Li Chen from behind.


    Li Chen was frightened by Zhang Xue¡¯s sudden hug. He quickly pushed her away, but Zhang Xue hugged him even tighter. At this point, Li Chen had no choice but to break free.


    ¡°What are you doing? What do you want?¡± Li Chen asked.


    ¡°Look at the surroundings. Why don¡¯t we do it once?¡± Zhang Xue asked tentatively. In fact, all of this was within her expectations for the upcoming operation.


    ¡°No! What are you doing? Are you trying to repay me? I don¡¯t need it!¡± Li Chen rejected her.


    ¡°I really admire you for building such a place. I like you very much. I really like you,¡± Zhang Xue said as she placed her hand in front of her chest and began to unbutton her clothes.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be like this. I don¡¯t need you to do this. If you don¡¯t stop, get out of here quickly!¡± Li Chen ordered.


    ¡°Li Chen, don¡¯t be ungrateful!¡± Zhang Xue said fiercely and went back. After returning to the house, Zhang Xue deliberately did not button her shirt. Many people also noticed this detail.


    Seeing this, Zhang Xue smiled contemptuously.

 Chapter 32

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Everyone looked at Li Chen in surprise. After all, they had been out for so long and there was no one outside. It was very likely that something would happen between a man and a woman, especially when Zhang Xue was in such a state.


    ¡°You guys, pack your things and move out tomorrow. You¡¯re not welcome here!¡± Li Chen said casually.


    The other four were shocked when they heard this. They did not know why Li Chen would go back on his word.


    ¡°Li Chen, you¡¯re teasing us. You let us in, but you want us to leave after staying for one night?¡±


    ¡°Are you treating us like children?¡±


    As they spoke, the four of them surrounded Li Chen. The others quickly came over to stop the fight and pulled them apart. They also asked Li Chen to explain what had happened.


    Li Chen recounted everything that had happened outside. Everyone felt that Zhang Xue was very frivolous when they heard his words. Some people could not help but mutter in private.


    ¡°It¡¯ll be fun in the future. We might be able to give it a try.¡±


    It was precisely because of this that Li Chen dared them to leave. When Zhang Xue heard this, she was very angry that Li Chen actually exposed everything, so she quickly came out to say something.


    ¡°Li Chen, since you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you, don¡¯t blame me for being rude. I¡¯ll move out tomorrow!¡±


    The four of them were the most confused at this moment. They still did not understand what had happened and could only choose to continue following Zhang Xue because Zhang Xue had saved their lives back then.


    At dawn the next day, Zhang Xue and the others moved everything out. Then, they moved into the forest. Li Chen could not help but sigh as he watched them leave.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this a little too much?¡± Zhao Yu walked over and asked.


    ¡°Overboard? I don¡¯t think so. What Zhang Xue did was actually overboard. I¡¯m not that kind of person, but she insisted on doing that. Isn¡¯t that insulting me?¡± Li Chen said.


    ¡°Then that¡¯s it. Go back quickly. We still need you in the camp,¡± Zhao Yu said. After Li Chen heard this, he quickly returned to the camp. Only then did he realize that Zhao Yu really knew how to comfort him.


    Zhang Xue and the others returned to the forest and walked aimlessly, trying to find a new place to live. Fortunately, Zhang Xue still had survival skills that were handy.


    ¡°What happened to you, Zhang Xue?¡± The others asked curiously.


    ¡°Hmph, that brat Li Chen really doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him. Can¡¯t I just give myself to him?¡± Zhang Xue said angrily.


    In Zhang Xue¡¯s eyes, men could be controlled through sex. As long as she controlled Li Chen, the entire camp would belong to Zhang Xue. At that time, she could do whatever she wanted.


    Zhang Xue and the others were walking when they suddenly heard a sound, and they quickly hid.


    ¡°I clearly heard a sound nearby just now. Why is it gone?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. I heard it too. There was no sound when I walked over.¡±


    The people who came were none other than Hua Long¡¯s subordinates. They came here to hunt, but they suddenly heard voices nearby. Thinking that it was Li Chen and the others, they came over to rob something.


    ¡°Are you guys looking for us?¡± Zhang Xue quickly came out and said.


    ¡°And you are?¡±


    ¡°Take us to see your boss. You¡¯ll know when the time comes!¡± Zhang Xue said naturally.


    Hearing Zhang Xue¡¯s words, Hua Long¡¯s subordinates quickly brought them to Hua Long¡¯s cave. When Hua Long heard that strangers had arrived, he quickly came out to check.


    Hua Long took a closer look and realized that the person in front of him was Zhang Xue.


    ¡°So it¡¯s Zhang Xue?¡± Hua Long immediately smiled and said.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you guys to still be alive. Can¡¯t live on this island anymore?¡± Hua Long asked with a hidden meaning in his words. Clearly, he didn¡¯t take Zhang Xue and the others seriously.


    Zhang Xue glanced at Hua Long. She knew that Hua Long was the exact kind of person she wanted.


    ¡°I was chased out by Li Chen and the others. I have nowhere to go.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s great. Come to my place. I welcome you!¡± Hua Long immediately said.


    Zhang Xue immediately gestured for the others to move the items to Hua Long¡¯s cave. Hua Long did not dare to be negligent and quickly got his brothers to take out their food to entertain Zhang Xue and the others.


    Zhang Xue walked into the cave, and Hua Long followed behind. His eyes were fixed on Zhang Xue¡¯s perky butt. At this moment, Hua Long was already thinking about his happy life in the future. As long as he worked hard, Zhang Xue would definitely agree to him. If she didn¡¯t agree, he would use force. Anyway, she had nowhere to go.


    Hua Long gave the best spot to Zhang Xue. He looked at this rare woman and couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips.


    After the meal, Zhang Xue used the same method to get Hua Long to bring her to familiarize herself with the surroundings. Hua Long agreed and went outside. Hua Long quickly flaunted the benefits of their place to Zhang Xue.


    As Zhang Xue walked, she accidentally fell into Hua Long¡¯s arms. At this moment, Hua Long thought that his chance had finally arrived, so he quickly took the opportunity to touch where he should touch.


    Zhang Xue rejected him softly and asked, ¡°Do you want to?¡±


    When Hua Long heard that she actually took the initiative, he immediately nodded, so Zhang Xue let Hua Long lie down. Just like that, the two of them started exercising in the wilderness.


    When it was over, Zhang Xue asked, ¡°How was it?¡±


    Hua Long nodded excitedly. He wanted more, but Zhang Xue rejected him. Hua Long didn¡¯t listen and forced Zhang Xue to do it again. Zhang Xue agreed helplessly.


    When they returned, everyone noticed the changes in the two of them. The two of them had been out for so long in the middle of the night. Nothing good must have happened.


    Sure enough, after returning, Hua Long told his brothers about his next arrangements.


    ¡°Brothers, Zhang Xue and I went out to discuss the future development. I think Zhang Xue is a genius in wilderness survival. In the future, what she says will be the same as what I say. Everyone has to listen.¡±


    Then, Hua Long glanced at Zhang Xue, who nodded. Everyone then saw Hua Long¡¯s eyes light up, but because of Hua Long¡¯s position, they could only agree.


    Zhang Xue finally got what she wanted. At night, he did not fall asleep. Instead, he smiled happily. She knew that since she could not take down Li Chen, she would take down Hua Long first and let him work for her. It was not a bad thing.


    At this moment, Hua Long was satisfied. He thought that he had gotten a huge advantage. In his sleep, he dreamed that he was discussing something important with Zhang Xue again and he could not help but laugh.


    However, Li Chen did not expect that Zhang Xue, whom he had rejected, had already submitted to Hua Long. Moreover, she had played Hua Long under her wings. Now, an even more difficult enemy had appeared.


    The next day, at dawn, Hua Long slept exceptionally well that night. When he woke up, he realized that Zhang Xue had already come out and was checking the surroundings outside the cave.


    After Hua Long looked around to see if there was anyone around, he quickly rushed up and hugged Zhang Xue from behind. His hand naturally landed where it should be, but Zhang Xue pushed him away.

    ¡°What do you want to do in broad daylight? Can¡¯t you wait until night?¡± Zhang Xue rejected Hua Long.


    ¡°How is it? Have I treated you well enough? My brothers will listen to you,¡± Hua Long said proudly.


    ¡°I think that¡¯s more like it. If you hadn¡¯t said that last night, I might have left this morning.¡±


    Zhang Xue said coquettishly. Actually, she had said this on purpose.


    ¡°Don¡¯t, Ah. How can I bear to let my baby go out and suffer? It¡¯s so good to be with me,¡± Hua Long said.


    Just as Zhang Xue and Hua Long continued to talk, the suited man suddenly appeared. He called Hua Long away and brought him to a place.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you think you went overboard last night?¡±


    ¡°Handing power over to a new woman just like that? What do you want us to do?¡± the suited man asked.


    At this moment, Hua Long was already bewitched by Zhang Xue and wouldn¡¯t listen to the suited man at all. Hua Long slapped the suited man. ¡°Since when is it your turn to educate me about my matters?¡±


    The suited man was a little stunned by the slap, but he fought back with Hua Long. Hua Long was not his match.


    ¡°Kid, I thought you¡¯re a little capable so I willingly helped you, but I realized that you¡¯re really useless,¡± the suited man said as he pressed Hua Long to the ground.


    However, the suited man had been wearing his tattered suit for a while. The suit actually restricted his performance and he was quickly pressed to the ground by Hua Long. Then, Hua Long grabbed his neck tightly.


    ¡°You¡¯re a professional assassin? Just these two moves? Do you think I¡¯m really afraid of you?¡±


    Hua Long had never taken this person seriously. Hua Long had never taken anyone seriously since school, let alone this person, let alone the current situation.


    The sound of their fight quickly attracted the attention of the other brothers. The other brothers did not dare to rashly help. Then, Hua Long shouted.


    ¡°What are you waiting for? Come and help. We¡¯re classmates. He¡¯s a foreigner. Why should we listen to him?¡±


    Hua Long used his relationship as a classmate to rope in the remaining few people again. A few of them were still hesitating. Then, Hua Long said, ¡°He is an assassin. He wanted to kill me just now. Aren¡¯t you afraid that he will kill you?¡±


    Hua Long¡¯s every word hit the nail on the head. Just like that, the others chose to side with Hua Long and tied the suited man to the tree.


    Then, Hua Long called the others together and said to them, ¡°Although I usually force you, I¡¯ve never thought of killing you. Didn¡¯t I help you when you were injured?¡±


    Everyone felt that what Hua Long said made sense, so they firmly chose to stand on Hua Long¡¯s side and listen to his arrangements.


    At this moment, the suited man was tied to a tree and was still shouting.


    ¡°You people will regret it sooner or later!¡±


    ¡°You all are really blind. You can¡¯t tell good from bad. I¡¯m just telling the truth. I¡¯m talking about someone¡¯s heart.¡±


    At this moment, Hua Long took out a pile of weeds and handed it to a brother beside him. ¡°Go and gag him.¡±


    The brother walked over and gagged the suited man. Then, Hua Long hurriedly held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the suited man. Everyone unanimously decided to kill him.


    However, Hua Long said that he would think about it. Then, he called Zhang Xue and walked out.


    ¡°Hurry up and tell me what to do. Many of my brothers are not convinced by me now. I¡¯ll make them listen to you.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s hard to say. If you let them spar with me, who would I be afraid of?¡±


    ¡°How? Spar?¡± Hua Long said disdainfully, ¡°Other than exercising in many ways, what else do you know?¡±


    ¡°Hmph, I have my own plans. Let¡¯s deal with the suited man first.¡±


    After returning, Hua Long told everyone that he had an idea, which was he wanted to listen to everyone¡¯s opinion and settle the suited man. Everyone agreed, so he quickly went out and dug a deep pit.


    Hua Long planned to bury the suited man alive. This was better than seeing blood. Hence, he kicked the suited man into the deep pit in the wilderness. Then, everyone quickly covered him with soil.


    After returning to the cave, Hua Long gathered everyone again and began to follow the method Zhang Xue had given him.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always let everyone down. The suited man and I only know martial arts. We don¡¯t know anything about surviving in the wilderness, but Zhang Xue knows.¡± As he spoke, Hua Long even shed tears.


    ¡°Zhang Xue was the champion of a wilderness survival competition at that time in our school. She has a lot of wilderness survival skills, but no one will believe me if I say this. From tomorrow onwards, we¡¯ll hold a competition. If Zhang Xue wins, we¡¯ll listen to her in the future. If she loses, she¡¯ll get lost and I¡¯ll listen to you!¡±


    When everyone heard Hua Long¡¯s words and how sincere he was, they all agreed to Hua Long¡¯s suggestion and planned to hold a competition the next day.


    The next day, the competition began. Hua Long asked everyone to suggest the competition. One of his brothers thought of climbing a tree, so he decided to use this to compete. Zhang Xue easily climbed up the tree and even plucked a few fruits, but that brother could not climb up at all.


    ¡°You useless thing.¡± Hua Long slapped him. Just like that, Zhang Xue won the first round.


    In the second round, another brother suggested carrying wood. Unexpectedly, although Zhang Xue was a woman, she still had the strength to carry it easily. The brothers were stunned and let her win again.


    The third round was about hunting, and Zhang Xue was even better at this aspect. She made many exquisite mechanisms. Until evening, Zhang Xue had caught three wild rabbits, but that person did not catch a single one.


    Just like that, Hua Long announced the results. When everyone saw how amazing Zhang Xue was, they were filled with admiration and decided to listen to Zhang Xue in the future. Just like that, Zhang Xue¡¯s goal was achieved.


    After eating, Zhang Xue brought Hua Long outside in the name of checking the terrain.


    Hua Long pressed Zhang Xue to the ground. Zhang Xue did not refuse and took the initiative to welcome him. Seeing this, Hua Long was even more excited that Zhang Xue had satisfied his request. After being satisfied, Hua Long hugged Zhang Xue.


    ¡°How is it? I¡¯m alright, right?¡±


    ¡°Of course. This cave will depend on us in the future.¡±


    Hearing Zhang Xue¡¯s words, Hua Long smiled proudly. At this moment, he felt that he had finally grasped Zhang Xue. He could really do whatever he wanted in the future.


    At this moment, Li Chen was looking at the stars in the sky outside. He was thinking about how to resist Hua Long and the others when a piece of clothing suddenly draped over him. He turned around and saw that it was Zhao Yu.


    ¡°Sister Yu, why aren¡¯t you asleep yet?¡± Li Chen asked.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t sleep either. I came out to take a look,¡± Zhao Yu replied.


    ¡°Sister Yu, what do you think we should do next?¡± Li Chen asked.


    ¡°What else can we do? Let¡¯s face whatever comes!¡± Zhao Yu said with a smile.


    Li Chen thought that that was indeed the case. It was better to see how things developed in the future.

 Chapter 34

    Zhang Xue lay in the cave and did not sleep for the entire night. She tossed and turned, thinking about whether these methods were desirable.


    As she thought about it, she couldn¡¯t help but shed tears. It turned out that her experience wasn¡¯t that good.


    In her early years in university, Zhang Xue loved to survive in the wild. She felt that this could train her ability and allow her to better adapt to the social life after graduation.


    For this reason, she specially learned all kinds of methods to survive in the wilderness. She felt that it was impossible to learn without practice, so she urgently wanted to find an opportunity to practice it herself.


    By chance, she discovered an outdoor survival competition and happily signed up. Other groups only had one or two people, but she was the only girl. This quickly made some people have crooked thoughts.


    When they really reached the mountains, those old men with dirty thoughts came near Zhang Xue¡¯s camp. At that time, she simply thought that they had taken a fancy to this place and did not think too much about it.


    However, after a while, Zhang Xue realized that these old men had started to appear in their camp naked. When they saw Zhang Xue return to the camp, they would occasionally make obscene actions at her.


    Zhang Xue wanted to ask the organizers for help, but by the time the organizers found out, the men had already left Zhang Xue¡¯s camp. As the organizers could not confirm who they were, they could not kick them out of the competition in time.


    That night, Zhang Xue was very tired. She fell asleep, but in her deep sleep, she felt someone touching her. She suddenly woke up and realized that it was a few men. They covered Zhang Xue¡¯s mouth tightly and began to do intense exercise.


    After the competition ended, the few of them begged Zhang Xue not to tell anyone. For the sake of her reputation, Zhang Xue chose to agree. However, she asked them to do something for her and that was to let her win the competition. It was because of the help of those few people that Zhang Xue won the championship.


    The night before they were about to leave the wilderness, the men crawled into Zhang Xue¡¯s camp again. There was another violent exercise, but Zhang Xue had gotten over it.


    At the thought of this, Zhang Xue stopped thinking about it. She felt that in the wilderness, the last survivor was the winner.


    At dawn, Li Chen told everyone that their previous iron-forging plan could not be delayed, so they began their iron-forging plan again. After this period of continuous refinement, they had already obtained a lot of iron.


    On this day, Li Chen brought back a lot of stones from outside. He placed a huge stone on the ground. This stone would be used as a table. Then, he tied a stone to a stick and began to use it as a hammer.


    ¡°Haha, Li Chen, the table you made is really ugly!¡± Wang Qi came out and teased.


    ¡°What do you know? This is not a table. This is for forging,¡± Li Chen said. Then, he added some firewood to the stove that he had made long ago.


    Suddenly, Li Chen felt that he was still missing something. He went around looking for it again. Then, he got some soil and actually made a manual fan beside the stove.


    ¡°Li Chen, you¡¯ve watched too many wilderness survival movies. You really want to refine iron,¡± Wang Qi said.


    ¡°You¡¯ll know in a while. Come and help!¡± Li Chen shouted.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s here!¡± Then, Wang Qi began to turn the blower and the fire in the stove lit up.


    Li Chen continued to add firewood. Then, he threw the metal piece in. After burning for a long time, the metal piece did not turn red. However, a lot of firewood was burned. Li Chen was very puzzled.


    ¡°Li Chen, you have to use coal. Firewood is not resistant to fire. Only coal can do that.¡± Zhao Yu walked over and said.


    Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu knew a little about these things. She then picked up the firewood and looked at it.


    ¡°Coal? What should we do?¡± Li Chen asked.


    ¡°Come, watch me.¡± Zhao Yu threw the firewood into the stove and took advantage of the heat to get them out. She extinguished them, mixed them with soil, and placed them there. ¡°Look, this is coal!¡± Zhao Yu said proudly.


    ¡°Hahaha, I didn¡¯t expect Sister Yu to have also watched so many wilderness survival movies. How can you make coal like this?¡±


    Li Chen said with a smile. Then, he walked into the house and picked up his backpack. He took out a bag of coal from his backpack and took it out.


    Li Chen had always been curious about one thing. From the beginning until now, the backpack had given him guns, medicine, knives, seeds, and other things, but it had not given him an ax, a shovel, or other agricultural tools.


    Li Chen felt that this might not be considered wilderness survival, so they decided to make it themselves. With the help of coal, Li Chen finally began to refine iron.


    After a period of hard work, Li Chen created tools like axes and hoes. However, at this moment, Hua Long and the others had also begun to plant crops under Zhang Xue¡¯s call.


    Hua Long wiped his sweat and sat on the ground. ¡°I¡¯m so tired. I didn¡¯t know farming was so tiring.¡±


    ¡°Are you slacking off again? Get up and work!¡± Zhang Xue kicked Hua Long.


    Compared to Hua Long¡¯s snatching policy, Zhang Xue chose to develop on her own because she knew that Li Chen and the others would develop sooner or later, which might lead to them not being able to snatch their resources in the future.


    Hua Long had no choice but to get up and continue working. Hua Long and the others had long known how to forge iron, so they also created iron tools which instantly increased their efficiency.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, I think we can¡¯t save any more food. Should we build another granary?¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t store anymore? Then let¡¯s build it!¡± Zhang Yang said.


    Ever since Zhang Yang went out and suffered a setback, he had returned to his farming life. He had started to plant food again. His food supply had already filled up six granaries. It would not be a problem for him to eat for the next four to five years.


    Moreover, in order to prevent Hua Long from launching a sneak attack, he had built all the granaries under his house. Hua Long could not find them underground, and aboveground, there was only enough food for a year. At the same time, he had also started to prepare his own fortifications.


    ¡°Everything has been peaceful recently. I wonder how Li Chen and Hua Long are doing.¡±


    ¡°The two of you, bring enough rations and go to their place to take a look. Find out about their situation, but be careful.¡±


    At this moment, Zhang Yang sent someone to investigate the situation of Li Chen and Hua Long. He wanted to do this for his own plans and also to figure out the movements of Li Chen and the others.


    The brothers who had gone out finally returned after a long time. When they returned, they told Zhang Yang that Li Chen and the others had already used electricity. Hua Long and the others had also begun to farm. Moreover, Hua Long had a woman accompanying him.


    ¡°No wonder they didn¡¯t attack us, but that¡¯s good too.¡±


    Zhang Yang said proudly. As he spoke, he looked at his crops. This batch of crops was about to be harvested again. He told his men to be prepared and not delay the harvest.

 Chapter 35

    On this day, Li Chen brought all the boys out to search for resources in the wilderness as usual.


    Li Chen¡¯s arrangement had always been to go to the island to look for useful things after farming. When farming was busy, he would stay in his camp to recuperate.


    This time, they came to a nameless mountain on the island. This mountain was very high. They climbed it with difficulty, but in the end, they still went up.


    ¡°Look, we¡¯ve long wanted to come up this mountain. We¡¯re finally here!¡±


    ¡°Li Chen, look, you can see the sea.¡±


    ¡°How can you see? There¡¯s fog at this time. How can you see clearly?¡±


    Everyone began to discuss among themselves. Coincidentally, the sea was covered in fog, and one could only see a vast expanse of white.


    Finally, it was noon. Everyone planned to eat at the top of the mountain and return in the afternoon. At noon, the fog dissipated.


    Everyone started a fire to prepare lunch. They brought their own dry rations and planned to roast them before eating. Just as someone was looking for firewood, they suddenly shouted.


    ¡°Everyone, look at the sea!¡±


    ¡°Look at the sea. What¡¯s that?¡±


    The shout attracted Li Chen and the others to go over and take a look. On the surface of the sea, a huge thing floated. From the speed of its movement, it seemed to be swimming towards the coast.


    ¡°Oh no!¡± Li Chen muttered to himself.


    ¡°Come, let¡¯s quickly go to the shore!¡±


    Hearing Li Chen¡¯s words, everyone took the time to put out the fire. Then, they followed Li Chen down the mountain and returned to their camp. When everyone saw Li Chen so flustered, they knew that something had happened.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Li Chen?¡± Wang Qi asked.


    ¡°There¡¯s something on the surface of the sea. Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Li Chen said.


    ¡°Quick, everyone, bring your tools. Let¡¯s go. You girls stay in the camp and guard the house.¡±


    ¡°Hmph! You always let us girls guard the house,¡± Wang Qi muttered softly.


    Then, Li Chen and the others quickly took their tools to the shore. The huge creature was about to float over, but when it was about to reach the shore, it stopped moving and seemed to be sinking.


    ¡°Li Chen, that is a ship!¡±


    After careful identification, it was indeed a broken ship. It floated aimlessly on the sea and finally arrived near the island. However, the seawater near the coast could not support its weight, so it still sank.


    Fortunately, the water on the coast was not deep. After sinking two-thirds of its body, it reached the bottom. There was still one-third above water. Li Chen wanted to go to the ship to take a look. Perhaps there were still people alive.


    ¡°Come, swim with me.¡± Li Chen said.


    ¡°Wait, why don¡¯t we row over?¡± After this person¡¯s reminder, Li Chen finally remembered that there was still a boat.


    ¡°Yes, I was so excited that I forgot. Let¡¯s row over.¡± As they spoke, they dragged their wooden boat over. Li Chen and the others boarded the boat and rowed towards the huge ship.


    At this moment, the huge ship had already stopped moving. Li Chen and the others easily approached the huge ship. Then, Li Chen checked. There was no entrance on it. If they wanted to enter, they could only enter through the water.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go. Wait for me,¡± Li Chen said as he took a bundle of rope and tied it around his waist.


    ¡°Wait, Li Chen, I¡¯ll go with you. I¡¯ve also learned how to swim.¡± At this moment, a person stood up. His swimming skills were the best here, and Li Chen and the others called him Hai Yu.


    Just like that, Li Chen and Hai Yu tied up the rope and plunged into the water. The two of them went deep into the water and groped their way into the interior of the ship.


    Li Chen and Hai Yu climbed and saw that there were indeed many things in the cabin, but it was not easy to take them out, as the ship was tilted.


    ¡°Look! Li Chen, there¡¯s a window there.¡± Hai Yu pointed.


    Surprisingly, there was a porthole above their heads, and this window was facing the sky. Li Chen instantly understood what Hai Yu meant. As long as he opened this window, the thing could be handed out through the window.


    As they spoke, they found something and began to smash the window. There were many things in the cabin. Li Chen quickly found two fire axes and handed one to Hai Yu. Then, the two of them began to smash the window. Soon, the window was broken open bit by bit.


    ¡°Li Chen and the others won¡¯t be in danger, right?¡± The people outside heard the commotion inside and said worriedly.


    ¡°Yeah. I¡¯m worried about the clanging inside.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. Trust Li Chen. Otherwise, the rope would have moved long ago.¡±


    As he spoke, the person in charge of pulling the rope tugged at it. In the end, the rope was quickly pulled back. Everyone was shocked that the rope was broken.


    At this moment, everyone¡¯s hearts were in their throats. They could only wait patiently for what would happen next. Some people had already taken off their clothes and were prepared to jump into the sea at any time to save Li Chen and the others.


    Suddenly, a huge pane of glass fell from above.


    ¡°Danger, get out of the way!¡±


    Everyone quickly rowed away from the piece of glass. Before everyone could calm down, Li Chen crawled out from it, revealing half of his body.


    ¡°Are you okay? We broke the window!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a lot of stuff in here. Everyone, come in!¡±


    Then, one of them threw the rope to Li Chen. Li Chen tied the other end of the rope to the railing of the ship. Then, the others gradually climbed up along the rope.


    When everyone entered the cabin, they were immediately attracted by the luxury of this cabin. They did not expect this rusty-looking cabin to be so luxurious.


    Starting to look around for something, Li Chen and the others came to a room. It seemed that this room should be the ship¡¯s kitchen. The food inside had long expired and could not be used. Li Chen looked at the date. It turned out that the ship had been floating for many years.


    However, Li Chen found pots and pans in the kitchen. These kitchenware could still be used. They quickly moved these things under the porthole and waited for them to be carried out later.


    Continuing to search, Li Chen realized that there were no traces of anyone on this ship. After all, so many years had passed. That room should be an ammunition depot. Li Chen saw the symbol drawn on the door and guessed.


    They quickly opened the door and went in to take a look. As expected, there were many long spears and short spears hanging on the wall. The barrels were filled with gunpowder, but some had already soaked in water. Li Chen and the others quickly continued to move them away.


    ¡°This ship is huge. It¡¯s a pity that it sank. Otherwise, it could have brought us back.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯ve been here for many years, right?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t remember. It must have been many, many days. I remember it when I first arrived, but I don¡¯t remember it now.¡±


    Everyone could not help but sigh. Li Chen quickly comforted everyone, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll return sooner or later. We need to survive here first.¡±

 Chapter 36

    This time, Li Chen and the others moved back what they urgently needed. They planned to keep the rest for later.


    When they returned to their camp, everyone saw the supplies Li Chen and the others had moved back and felt that these could improve their quality of life again.


    Just as Li Chen and the others were planning to move the supplies next time, a storm rose on the surface of the sea. The storm was very strong, and the shipwreck sank bit by bit.


    ¡°We still haven¡¯t moved a lot of the supplies away.¡±


    ¡°Wait, wait, wait. I want the bed in there!¡±


    The few people who had gone to the shipwreck with Li Chen shouted sadly. They hoped that the ship would sink slower so that they could collect some supplies after the storm passed.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t panic. When it sinks to the bottom, we¡¯ll dive in.¡± Li Chen comforted everyone. The storm of the night had finally passed, and the next day, it was sunny.


    Everyone immediately rowed the boat to the place where the shipwreck was. This time, Li Chen and the others dived straight to the bottom of the water to find the place where the shipwreck was. After entering the water, Li Chen realized that the boat was actually coming over.


    Li Chen quickly returned to his camp and opened his backpack. Previously, the backpack had given him an oxygen tank. He carried the oxygen tank and came to everyone.


    ¡°Li Chen, no wonder. You still have equipment.¡±


    ¡°Li Chen, you have to help me drag that bed out this time.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll satisfy all of you,¡± Li Chen said with a smile and jumped into the water with the rope.


    With the help of the oxygen tank, Li Chen directly entered the cabin. There were several lounges inside, but there was nothing noteworthy inside. The only thing valuable inside was a bed.


    Li Chen couldn¡¯t care less. He began to dismantle them one by one. Finally, he dismantled all the beds and moved them outside to tie them to the rope.


    ¡°Pull harder, everyone!¡±


    The people on the boat outside were pulling the rope with all their might. The boat sank bit by bit, and it seemed that the bed was not light. Fortunately, it was pulled up. Everyone laughed when they saw that it was an iron bed.


    ¡°Look at the bed you¡¯ve been thinking about day and night. You¡¯ve finally found it!¡±


    ¡°Thank you, thank you so much,¡± the man said in embarrassment.


    Then, everyone pulled up the beds one by one and transported them to the shore. They set them up on the shore and dried them.


    Li Chen realized that there was not much oxygen left in the oxygen tank, so he could only return to the shore to rest for the time being. At this moment, he was stunned when he saw the bed on the shore. He did not expect to get so much in such a short period of time.


    Wang Qi and the others saw that the shore was filled with beds and were already discussing which one they wanted first. After all, the beds everyone was sleeping on were built with wood and were not comfortable at all.


    Everyone dried their beds on the shore after a day. The next day, Li Chen realized that the oxygen tank was filled with oxygen again, so they decided to go into the shipwreck again.


    After entering, Li Chen came to another room. After the room was opened, all the banknotes were floating in the water. When Li Chen saw these, he felt that they were useless. On the contrary, he found something at the bottom of the ship. One after another, they were steel pipes.


    Li Chen and the others quickly moved everything out. Everyone saw that these steel pipes were long and short. They seemed to be goods needed by a construction material factory. These things were scarce on the deserted island.


    After this period of transportation, everything was finally moved back. Li Chen discussed with everyone at night. Everyone felt that they did not have to worry about food and water now, so they should improve their quality of life.


    Everyone suggested that they continue to expand their house and try to get everyone to stay in a small single room. Li Chen agreed, so he counted the current beds and other supplies. It was indeed enough for everyone. Now, there was only the problem of rooms.


    The others immediately began to nervously prepare their stones, clay, and other construction materials. Soon, they were ready, so Li Chen led everyone to get busy.


    After this period of hard work, they finally expanded the original house. On the original foundation, the interior was divided into small single rooms. This way, everyone could have their own space.


    At night, everyone prepared for a celebration. They lit a bonfire on the beach and began to discuss the future.


    At this moment, Hua Long and the others had already climbed up the mountain to find a water source. When they saw the bonfire lit by the sea, Hua Long was furious.


    ¡°Hmph, you guys will be controlled by me sooner or later.¡±


    ¡°Stop talking. Finding water is more important. Otherwise, the crops will dry out.¡±


    Zhang Xue hurriedly urged Hua Long. Hua Long did not dare to be negligent.


    After the celebration ended, Zhao Yu helped Li Chen decorate his room. Then, she wanted to test if the bed was soft, so she lay down.


    At this moment, Li Chen happened to return to his room. When he saw Zhao Yu lying on the bed, he thought that he had entered the wrong room.


    ¡°Sister Yu, this is?¡±


    When Zhao Yu heard Li Chen¡¯s words, she quickly sat up. ¡°I¡¯ve made the bed for you. I just wanted to try the softness. It¡¯s pretty good.¡±


    As she spoke, Zhao Yu sat on the bed. Then, she called Li Chen over quickly. ¡°Come and sit quickly. See if it¡¯s soft. I specially added straw mats for you.¡±


    Li Chen quickly sat down and tested it. ¡°It¡¯s really quite soft.¡±


    The two of them sat by the bed. Li Chen looked at Zhao Yu in front of him. Zhao Yu realized that Li Chen was staring at her and felt a little shy.


    ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡± Zhao Yu asked.


    The more Li Chen looked at it, the more excited he became. Then, Li Chen kissed her. Zhao Yu did not refuse. The two of them fell down and began to kiss passionately. Li Chen could not hold himself back and wanted to continue.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s not convenient these few days. I¡¯ll definitely satisfy you in a few days.¡± As she spoke, Zhao Yu sat up and tidied her clothes. Then, she walked out, leaving only Li Chen who was still lying on the bed.


    ¡°Wait until it¡¯s convenient.¡± Zhao Yu left after saying this.


    Li Chen did not dare to continue. Instead, he sat up and quickly went out. He realized that Zhao Yu had already returned to her room, and he did not dare to enter.


    At this moment, Hua Long and the others had just found a water source. It was in a small pool at the top of the mountain. There was still some fresh water in it, so they quickly brought it back.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, the water in our well is getting lesser and lesser. It seems like there¡¯s no water coming out anymore.¡±


    ¡°We just went to get water and found that the water level has dropped a lot. There¡¯s not enough for us to use.¡±


    ¡°What are we going to do? I think we¡¯d better go out and find some water.¡±


    Zhang Yang agreed to their plan and sent some of his men into the forest to look for water sources.

 Chapter 37

    The next day, when Li Chen and the others came out, they realized that the water in their bamboo pipes had become far lesser. Li Chen was very puzzled.


    ¡°Li Chen, did you notice that the water flow has become smaller?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. The water flow was very strong before. Why is it so small now?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, leave this problem to me!¡± The designer from before stood up.


    ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up and leave. Everyone, let¡¯s go and see what¡¯s wrong.¡±


    Li Chen quickly called everyone to follow this person up the water pipe. They had not gone here for a long time since the last time it was connected to the water pipe.


    ¡°Logically speaking, it shouldn¡¯t be like this. We hid this place that time,¡± the designer said as he walked.


    Along the way, they discovered that the trees seemed to be withering. It seemed like it was caused by a lack of water.


    Therefore, they continued to walk towards the source. Finally, they arrived at the source and saw that this place had changed greatly. Li Chen and the others quickly dug up all the soil on it.


    Below them was their well. Then, they opened the lid of the well and found that the water inside had fallen by more than half. Moreover, the spring that had been spewing water previously was no longer spewing out water.


    ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll go down and dig again. There should be too much silt.¡± As he spoke, the man jumped into the well. Then, he began to dig inside. After digging for a while, he did dig up a lot of silt.


    Looking at the water coming out of the springs again, everyone knew that it was probably the sludge, so they covered it with mud again and returned to their camp. As expected, the water flow became stronger.


    At this moment, the sun above their heads seemed to be melting everything. Li Chen and the others had no choice but to enter the forest to cool down.


    ¡°F*ck, we¡¯re really going to die from the heat,¡± Hua Long said as he took a sip of water.


    ¡°Drink it sparingly. There¡¯s no more water.¡± Zhang Xue said.


    ¡°This weather can suffocate people. We don¡¯t have any more water so we¡¯ll dig a well in front of the hole!¡±


    As Hua Long spoke, he took out his tools. The other brothers also began to dig in front of the cave. Everyone got busy and quickly dug very deep, but they still did not find any water seeping out.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. Let¡¯s continue digging.¡± As Hua Long spoke, he waved the pickaxe vigorously and continued digging deeper. Finally, water seeped out from the surroundings.


    ¡°Here, give me a container.¡±


    Then, people threw down a container to fetch water. Hua Long quickly picked it up and filled the container in a short while. Then, he took it up and waited for the water to clear.


    Finally, the water became clear. Hua Long held the water proudly and boasted, ¡°Look, there¡¯s water now!¡±


    Then, he took a big sip. As soon as he drank it, he quickly spat it out. ¡°Damn, it¡¯s salty. You can¡¯t drink it!¡±


    Hua Long was so angry that he poured the water away. Helpless, he could only continue to go out to look for water. In such hot weather, they could not do without water. However, after searching for a long time, they could not find it. They only found the coconuts on the trees.


    Hua Long opened a coconut with a knife and handed it to Zhang Xue. Then, he opened another one and drank it in big mouthfuls. After drinking it, he said, ¡°We can¡¯t just rely on coconuts, right? There aren¡¯t enough coconuts!¡±


    Currently, Zhang Yang and his gang were not doing any better. The reason why he chose to survive here was because of the water coming out of the fountain. He had modified the place into a well. Hence, he relied on the water source there to develop his agriculture.


    However, the water in the well was gradually decreasing, and the amount of water coming out was also decreasing. The people who went out to find water could not find a water source anywhere.


    ¡°Everyone, quickly put all the water into the wooden barrel and hide the water.¡± Zhang Yang said. At this moment, Zhang Yang had already realized that there might be a water shortage.


    Zhang Yang raised his head and looked at the sun above his head. The sun was so hot that he could not open his eyes. Zhang Yang speculated that there was going to be a drought soon.


    ¡°Li Chen, from what I remember, it hasn¡¯t rained for many days. Moreover, it¡¯s still so sunny, and it¡¯s so hot. The crops in the fields are about to die,¡± someone came over and said to Li Chen.


    ¡°Use the water from our water pipe to water the ground,¡± Li Chen said. After all, he had done this before.


    ¡°But I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll be short of water, Li Chen. I think we should store some water first to prevent water shortage.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± Li Chen agreed.


    Then, everyone quickly took out various containers and stored them all with water. They placed them in the cave behind their house and began to irrigate the fields.


    However, Li Chen and the others realized that there was not enough water at all. Just as they finished watering the plants, the fields dried up again. Moreover, the crops had already begun to yellow and wither. Li Chen helplessly told everyone that they had to give up on the crops this time.


    Although everyone was very reluctant, they could not plant crops in such weather. Li Chen felt that he needed to find a new water source.


    Hua Long and the others searched for a long time but could not find a water source. Hua Long helplessly took out his gun. His brothers also took out their guns. Then, Hua Long called them over.


    ¡°Brothers, we can¡¯t even find water now. Without water, everyone will die. I think we can only snatch it.¡±


    The other brothers agreed, but Zhang Xue didn¡¯t. She was afraid that there would be casualties, and that wouldn¡¯t be good for anyone. After all, she only wanted to take people under her wing, but she didn¡¯t want there to be casualties among her classmates.


    Zhang Xue stood up and rejected him. Hua Long raised his hand and threw her aside. He ignored her and walked towards Li Chen and the others with his weapon.


    During this period of time, Hua Long had been given a lot of weapons and ammunition in his backpack. Hua Long had long distributed them to his brothers. With guns, Hua Long knew that it was easier to do everything.


    They arrived at the periphery of Li Chen and the others¡¯ camp and realized that their crops had also withered. However, Hua Long firmly believed that they still had an extra water source.


    ¡°Li Chen, come out!¡± Hua Long shouted when he arrived.


    Relying on the fact that he had a gun, Hua Long was not afraid of anything. He called out to Li Chen. When Li Chen and the others heard Hua Long¡¯s voice, they hurriedly came out to confront him.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± Li Chen stepped forward and asked.


    ¡°Your Grandpa Long has been thirsty recently. There¡¯s no water to drink. Hurry up and prepare water for your Grandpa Long. Otherwise, our guns won¡¯t have eyes.¡±


    As Hua Long spoke, he waved the guns in their hands. Li Chen did not refuse.


    ¡°You can ask for water, but we don¡¯t have much left. I can only give you some first.¡± Li Chen didn¡¯t expect Hua Long to suddenly do this, so he could only agree first.


    Hence, he got the others to take out three large buckets of water and handed them to Hua Long. Hua Long smiled smugly when he saw the water. Then, he got his subordinates to carry the water source away. Li Chen watched them leave and felt that something big was about to happen.

 Chapter 38

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Li Chen, what do you think we should do?¡± The others asked.


    ¡°Looks like Hua Long is really short of water. It¡¯s been a long time since Hua Long came to rob us.¡±


    As Li Chen spoke, he could not help but sigh.


    ¡°Everyone, store more water to avoid really encountering drought.¡± Li Chen reminded everyone again and again. Everyone quickly stored enough water.


    When Hua Long returned, he looked at the three large buckets of water and was overjoyed.


    ¡°Li Chen is still the most sensible. When he heard that I needed water, he immediately gave it to me.¡± Hua Long began to show off to the people around him. When the others saw that there was finally water, they smiled happily.


    ¡°Big Brother, what should we do in the future? I think that Li Chen kid has no water left. Their fields are all dried up.¡± One of the brothers said.


    ¡°The future? We¡¯ll talk about it in the future. For now, we¡¯ve got enough water.¡±


    As for whether there would be water in the future, Hua Long felt that it was not important. As long as there was water now, it was enough. At this moment, another brother walked forward and thought for a moment before saying.


    ¡°Big brother, if that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t we go and rob Zhang Yang again? He must have some water there as well.¡±


    When Hua Long heard this, he nodded proudly. ¡°It¡¯s called equalizing the playing field, so now both of them won¡¯t fall behind. We¡¯ll go tomorrow!¡± Hence, Hua Long immediately decided to rob Zhang Yang¡¯s water the next day.


    As the water supply in the well was getting lesser and lesser, Zhang Yang and his gang could only keep storing water. The crops in his fields were the same as Li Chen and his gang. They had lost their vitality due to the lack of water for irrigation.


    ¡°Sigh, what should we do now?¡± Zhang Yang sighed.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, we still have stored food,¡± the other brothers said.


    ¡°Have you heard of this saying? The year of natural disasters will definitely be a year of chaos.¡± After Zhang Yang said this, Zhang Yang felt that once this drought continued, Hua Long, Li Chen, and the others would definitely take action. At that time, he would definitely be involved.


    As expected, just as Zhang Yang was worried, someone discovered Hua Long¡¯s tracks the next day. Hua Long and the others had already arrived. Zhang Yang quickly went out to check on the situation.


    ¡°Hua Long, I know why you¡¯re here this time. Bring the things over.¡± As he spoke, Zhang Yang got the others to bring over a few buckets of water. Hua Long smiled smugly when he saw this.


    ¡°Haha, are you all so obedient now?¡±


    Hua Long then ordered his men to carry all the water and prepared to return the way they came. Just as they were about to leave, Hua Long suddenly turned around and smiled evilly.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, I see that you have a lot of food here. Why don¡¯t you be a good person until the end¡­¡±


    Zhang Yang understood what Hua Long meant. Since that was the case, Zhang Yang asked his brother to bring out some food and gave it all to Hua Long.


    ¡°Hua Long, you¡¯ve seen the situation now. I¡¯ll give you something, but you have to be polite to us. If you dare to ambush us, don¡¯t blame us for perishing together with you.¡±


    Zhang Yang seemed to be threatening Hua Long. When Hua Long heard this, he quickly agreed to Zhang Yang because he knew that if he did anything overboard, he would not have a source of resources.


    To be honest, Hua Long had also taken a gamble when he robbed Li Chen and the others last time. Once Li Chen and the others resisted, it was hard to say who would die and who would be injured. However, Hua Long did not expect Li Chen to agree to it so easily.


    Hua Long hurriedly asked his brothers to move everything back to his cave. Hua Long felt that since that was the case, no matter what happened outside, he didn¡¯t have to worry.


    After Hua Long left, Zhang Yang smiled proudly. He felt that it was worth it to spend money to avoid disaster this time. He did not know what tricks Hua Long would use, but now that Hua Long was gone, he was finally at peace.


    ¡°Everyone, hurry up and store water. Let¡¯s use my method. Put some in the warehouse and less on the surface.¡±


    ¡°Alright, Zhang Yang. Don¡¯t worry.¡± After saying that, the others quickly got to work.


    Li Chen seemed to have encountered quite a bit of trouble. As they stored more and more water, the water flowing out of the bamboo tube decreased.


    On this day, the scorching heat woke everyone up exceptionally early. Li Chen was called over by a wave of shouts. He quickly went over to see what had happened.


    ¡°Li Chen, look, it¡¯s not flowing anymore.¡± Li Chen looked over. Indeed, there was not a single drop of water in the bamboo tube.


    ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯ll go and check on the situation.¡± Then, the designer volunteered to go and check on the situation. He left very quickly and returned very quickly. When he returned, he had a miserable expression.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What happened?¡± Everyone hurriedly asked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. It¡¯s dry. There¡¯s no more water.¡± These words instantly disappointed everyone. Their water source had gone dry. Now, Li Chen and the others no longer had a source of freshwater.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Everyone, follow me out to find a water source. There will definitely be water elsewhere.¡±


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go find a water source.¡± Everyone took their tools and wanted to find a water source.


    Although Li Chen and the others had stored some water, there were many of them in the camp. The water would quickly run out sooner or later when they drank it. Only by finding a new water source could they resolve the current problem.


    Li Chen and the others went out to search for the entire day and only returned in the evening. Everyone saw that they were all frowning and knew that all of them must not have found a water source this time.


    What surprised Li Chen and the others even more was that because of the drought and lack of water, the animals in the forest began to look for water everywhere. That night, Li Chen and the others suddenly heard the cries of wolves.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Li Chen got up in a panic and ran to the wall outside to look outside.


    ¡°It¡¯s wolves!¡± In the group of people who arrived early, one of them said calmly.


    Usually, there were no trees around them, so it was impossible for wolves to appear. It was usually quiet at night.


    ¡°Looks like we¡¯ve encountered a great drought. There will definitely be trouble.¡± That person sighed.


    Li Chen quickly lit the torch and threw it out forcefully. The wolves were very far away from them, but they still saw the light from the torch and quickly left.


    ¡°The wolves ran away.¡± Li Chen said.


    After returning to his room, Li Chen did not sleep for the entire night. He remembered that person¡¯s words deeply. Once there was a drought, there would definitely be trouble. Li Chen thought about how to solve this problem.


    After a period of preparation, Zhang Yang and the others had run out of water in the well. The others came over and told Zhang Yang about the situation.


    ¡°Sigh, let¡¯s leave it to fate. Tell our brothers to pay more attention to their safety and try not to go out if there¡¯s nothing else.¡±


    Zhang Yang had also run out of water. All that was left was the water source that they had stocked up. The people who had gone out to look for water could not find any water source. Zhang Yang was also worried that he would not be able to sleep the whole night. He was worried about what would happen next.


    Until the next day, something unexpected happened¡­

 Chapter 39

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    The next day, Zhang Yang was woken up by a wolf¡¯s howl before dawn.


    Zhang Yang and his gang were terrified when they heard the wolf¡¯s howl, so they quickly climbed up to the roof to hide.


    At this time, the pack of wolves had surrounded Zhang Yang. They looked unusually ferocious. They kept hitting the door. Fortunately, Zhang Yang¡¯s door was strong enough.


    ¡°These wolves seem to have gone crazy from thirst. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have come out in broad daylight.¡±


    ¡°I think so too. Why don¡¯t we get a bucket of water for them to drink? They might leave after drinking some water,¡± said Zhang Yang.


    Someone went down to get a bucket of water, then poured it into other containers and put it down from the roof. When the wolves saw this, they quickly came over and drank it all.


    ¡°Looks like they¡¯re really thirsty.¡±


    ¡°Sigh, no one can do anything in this weather.¡± Zhang Yang raised his head and looked at the sky. The hot sun was still roasting the island.


    Meanwhile, Hua Long and the others were also extremely hot in the cave. The brothers who had gone out to look for food returned with many hares.


    ¡°Why can you catch so many today?¡± Hua Long asked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. They all died of thirst. There are still a lot of them outside. Some of them even stink. This damn weather.¡±


    ¡°Quick, brothers, roast it and eat it quickly. Otherwise, it will spoil.¡± Hua Long quickly called his other brothers over to eat the roasted meat. This kind of meat could easily spoil in this weather.


    At this moment, Zhang Xue walked out thoughtfully. Hua Long saw that she was worried and took the initiative to come to her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Have you missed me recently?¡± As he spoke, Hua Long reached out his hand and tried to touch her.


    ¡°Take your hand away. I¡¯m thinking about something. Don¡¯t bother me!¡± Zhang Xue slapped Hua Long¡¯s arm. Hua Long retracted his outstretched hand in pain.


    Then, they continued to eat the roasted meat and curse at the lousy weather.


    ¡°Li Chen, I think we can only use the stored water. Everyone can¡¯t hold it in anymore.¡±


    ¡°Then who should take it out and share it with everyone? Let everyone drink some.¡± There were many people here, and there was not enough water. He walked around anxiously, thinking about what to do next.


    ¡°Li Chen, why don¡¯t we go out and look for water again?¡± Someone suggested to continue looking for water.


    ¡°Sure, but be careful,¡± Li Chen reminded them. Then, a few of them set off.


    They came to the forest and searched everywhere for a place where a water source might appear. However, they saw that the vegetation in the forest was about to wither. Some animals were even dying of thirst, so they could only go back and tell Li Chen about this situation.


    When Li Chen heard this, he sighed, but he still comforted everyone, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be afraid. Sooner or later, it will rain.¡±


    He then went to his room and opened his backpack. He had thought that his backpack would give him something to quench his thirst, but this time it failed. It gave him nothing.


    Hua Long and the others finished the roasted meat and continued to drink the water they had snatched. Then, Zhang Xue walked over and called Hua Long away. Seeing this, Hua Long had a wicked smile on his face.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, baby? You want to do it in broad daylight again?¡±


    ¡°Bullsh*t. Do you want Li Chen and the others to listen to you?¡± Zhang Xue asked.


    ¡°Yes, I do. Even in my dreams, I want Li Chen to be my slave and I want Zhang Yang to farm for me,¡± Hua Long said proudly, but his expression darkened again.


    ¡°I want to, but Li Chen can beat me every time and Zhang Yang also gives me something every time.¡±


    ¡°If you want to rule them, then listen to me.¡± Zhang Xueru said thoughtfully.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you. Besides, I¡¯ve always listened to you.¡± As he spoke, Hua Long stretched out his hand and touched Zhang Xue. This time, Zhang Xue did not reject him. Hua Long wanted to take another step forward, but he was rejected by Zhang Xue. Zhang Xue told him that she would definitely satisfy him after the matter was completed.


    After returning to the cave, Hua Long quickly took out all his weapons. After accumulating them over this period of time, the questionnaire gave him more than ten submachine guns and hundreds of bullets. Then, Hua Long distributed them to everyone.


    ¡°Brothers, I¡¯ve always had these treasures, but I¡¯ve been hiding them from everyone. I¡¯ve made everyone suffer. This time, we won¡¯t pretend anymore. Let¡¯s go. Follow me to conquer the world and subdue Li Chen and Zhang Yang.¡±


    Hua Long told them their plan. Each of their brothers took out their weapons and then called for their enemies to be subdued. Then, they set off in a grandiose manner. Their first target was Zhang Yang.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, look, Hua Long and the others are here again!¡±


    The people on Zhang Yang¡¯s side saw Hua Long and the others coming from afar. Zhang Yang did not expect Hua Long to come again. He could only tell the others not to panic and to wait and see.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, come out!¡± Hua Long shouted from outside. Then, he fired a few shots at Zhang Yang¡¯s house. The bullets hit the door and instantly pierced it with a few holes.


    ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Zhang Yang walked out.


    ¡°What do I want to do? I¡¯ll give you a chance to live and take your men. Now listen to me and give me your camp.¡±


    As he spoke, Hua Long fired a few more shots into the sky. Then, the others followed Hua Long and raised their guns. All of them pointed at Zhang Yang and the others. Zhang Yang was not afraid at this moment and was still very calm.


    ¡°What if I don¡¯t?¡± Zhang Yang replied coldly.


    ¡°No? Then think carefully. Bullets don¡¯t have eyes!¡± As Hua Long spoke, he pulled the trigger and hit a person who was still in the room. That person fell to the ground.


    ¡°Hua Long, you¡­¡± Zhang Yang did not expect Hua Long to be serious. He thought that Hua Long only wanted to snatch some supplies. After all, he had already prepared it.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already said that you belong to me. You have to listen to me. Your place will be mine from now on!¡± Hua Long said with a smug smile. His brothers behind him also laughed.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll¡­¡± Just as Zhang Yang was about to say something, the people behind him shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t agree. We won¡¯t agree even if we die!¡± Hua Long was very angry when he heard that.


    Hua Long raised his gun and shot him dead. ¡°Zhang Yang, your brothers like to talk too much. I¡¯ll take care of them for you.¡±


    Zhang Yang agreed to Hua Long¡¯s request. As expected, he gave his territory to Hua Long. Hua Long and the others also moved into Zhang Yang¡¯s house. Zhang Yang originally thought that Hua Long would let them be his subordinates, but in the end, Hua Long played even more ruthlessly.


    Hua Long got his brothers to tie them up and put them on the beach, letting the seawater wash over them. Hua Long said that he would help them bathe.


    ¡°Zhang Yang, you¡¯re being silly!¡±


    Zhang Yang¡¯s brothers could not help but start talking about it. However, Zhang Yang said that there was no need to worry. He had his own ways to let them preserve their strength first. When the others heard Zhang Yang¡¯s words, they did not complain anymore.


    Hua Long moved into Zhang Yang¡¯s house and immediately walked into Zhang Yang¡¯s room.

 Chapter 40

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    After Hua Long walked into Zhang Yang¡¯s room, he immediately lay on his bed. ¡°It¡¯s comfortable. I haven¡¯t slept on the bed in a long time,¡± Hua Long said proudly. At this moment, Zhang Xue walked in.


    ¡°You came at the right time. Let¡¯s begin.¡± Then, Hua Long pulled Zhang Xue onto the bed and pressed her down.


    Hua Long had not touched Zhang Xue for a long time. This time, he used all his strength to make Zhang Xue lie on the bed and look at him in satisfaction. Hua Long turned to look at her and smiled smugly.


    ¡°How is it? Is it enough this time?¡± Hua Long asked with a wicked smile.


    Zhang Xue didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, she closed her eyes, as if she was using her actions to tell Hua Long that it was enough. After a while, Zhang Xue sat up and leaned over to Hua Long¡¯s ear.


    ¡°Now that the time is ripe, we will use Zhang Yang as a shield and attack Li Chen and the others. We will take them down in one fell swoop.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you!¡± Hua Long agreed.


    Then, Hua Long pulled Zhang Yang and the others back from the seaside. At this moment, Zhang Yang and the others were soaked in the seawater and were already unbearable to look at. Hua Long said to them proudly.


    ¡°Your good days are coming. Come and follow your Grandpa Long to conquer Li Chen and the others.¡±


    After that, he ordered his men to drag Zhang Yang and the others towards Li Chen¡¯s place. After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at Li Chen¡¯s place.


    After arriving outside, Hua Long did not say a word. He raised his gun and fired a shot. The bullets hit the courtyard wall outside Li Chen and the others. Fortunately, Li Chen and the others had used rocks and soil to strengthen the courtyard wall.


    ¡°Li Chen, take a look at what Master Long has brought you.¡± As he said that, he kicked Zhang Yang and the others to the ground. Then, he used his gun to force them to walk towards Li Chen and the others.


    The gunshot just now let Li Chen know that Hua Long and the others had invaded, but Li Chen planned to observe the situation before going out. He did not go out rashly.


    After that, Li Chen and the other guys climbed up the wall and saw what was happening outside. At that moment, Zhang Yang and the others were running towards Li Chen and the others.


    Hua Long actually did this to let Zhang Yang and the others destroy Li Chen¡¯s trap. Hua Long guessed that Li Chen would definitely set a trap near his camp. After all, he had suffered once last time.


    As Zhang Yang and the others got closer and closer, Li Chen hurriedly shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t come over. There¡¯s a trap nearby.¡± At this moment, Hua Long raised his gun and fired.


    The person he aimed at was none other than Li Chen. Fortunately, he missed. Li Chen quickly lay down and reduced the risk of being exposed. At this moment, Li Chen knew that Hua Long and the others had brought weapons this time.


    ¡°Everyone, hide well. Hua Long and the others have guns!¡±


    Li Chen shouted for everyone to hide, while he went up to stop Zhang Yang and the others from running towards them. Li Chen tried his best to shout, but Zhang Yang could not hear him at all.


    ¡°What should we do? Zhang Yang? There¡¯s a trap ahead.¡±


    ¡°Ignore him. Keep running. On my mark. If I say run, we¡¯ll run that way up the hill. It¡¯s safer that way.¡±


    ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll listen to you.¡±


    At this moment, Hua Long watched as Zhang Yang and the others continued to run forward. He knew that Li Chen and the others¡¯ trap was about to be triggered. As long as the trap was triggered, they would be able to approach. Once they approached, his goal would be achieved.


    Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, Li Chen shouted anxiously. However, Zhang Yang and the others also had their own thoughts.


    ¡°Now, run!¡±


    Zhang Yang gave the order and everyone continued to run towards the nearby hill. Then, they hid under the hill. When Hua Long saw Zhang Yang and the others running away, he cursed angrily.


    ¡°F*ck, how dare you run away from me?¡± He raised his gun and fired a shot at the hill. However, with the cover of the hill, Hua Long did not hit them. Then, Zhang Yang took out his backpack.


    ¡°Finally, it¡¯s your turn.¡± Zhang Yang took out a weapon from his inventory and distributed it to the rest of his brothers. It turned out that Zhang Yang had also chosen a weapon when he filled in the questionnaire, but he had been hiding it all this while.


    Zhang Yang and the others had also obtained their weapons. They took advantage of the terrain of the hill and began to confront Hua Long and the others. Hua Long and the others suddenly realized that Zhang Yang and the others also had weapons. Hua Long could not believe it.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on outside? Li Chen?¡± Zhao Yu ran out and asked.


    ¡°Go back quickly. Zhang Yang and Hua Long are fighting.¡±


    ¡°So what do we do?¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and hide. Don¡¯t come out. I can handle it.¡±


    As Li Chen spoke, he took out his gun and used the courtyard wall as a shield. Hua Long and the others fought for a while, but they did not hurt each other.


    They had overlooked the range of the guns. Bullets couldn¡¯t reach them at that distance. It was a pure waste of bullets.


    The day finally ended, and the night was the most dangerous. The others were afraid that Li Chen would be in danger, so some of them came up to guard with Li Chen. Hua Long and the others had crooked thoughts again.


    ¡°You, sneak over to Zhang Yang¡¯s side in the dark and tell Zhang Yang that I want to join forces with him to attack Li Chen,¡± Hua Long said to his brother.


    After listening to Hua Long¡¯s arrangements, the brother quickly set off in the dark and arrived at Zhang Yang¡¯s place in the dark.


    ¡°Who are you? What are you doing here?¡± Zhang Yang asked.


    ¡°Our big brother said that he wants to team up with you to mess with Li Chen. Do you agree?¡± That person voiced Hua Long¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I agree. But tell your boss that my territory has to be returned to me. I don¡¯t want anything from Li Chen and the others.¡± Zhang Yang said.


    That person quickly went back and told Hua Long. When Hua Long heard this, he did not expect such a good thing to happen. Hence, he quickly brought his men to Zhang Yang¡¯s place and Zhang Yang met Hua Long.


    ¡°Brother Zhang Yang, I¡¯ve offended you before. You¡¯re still the sensible one,¡± Hua Long said politely as soon as they met.


    ¡°Hmph, let¡¯s destroy Li Chen first.¡±


    ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll listen to brother Zhang Yang. Now, let¡¯s attack.¡±


    ¡°Alright! Your men will be in charge of the front, and my men will be in charge of the side.¡± Zhang Yang revealed his plan.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to Brother Zhang Yang.¡±


    The people from both sides quickly arrived at their respective positions. They took advantage of the black clothes to approach the residence of Li Chen and the others. When they were far enough, Hua Long gave the order.


    ¡°Brothers! Attack!¡±


    At this moment, Zhang Yang heard Hua Long¡¯s shout and quickly looked at Zhang Yang. ¡°Zhang Yang, are we going too?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Let¡¯s talk about it later. Listen to me. Let that fool Hua Long fight first. We¡¯ll wait for the final outcome!¡±


    ¡°As expected of you, Zhang Yang!¡±


    ¡°Hua Long, I¡¯m just letting you occupy my territory temporarily. You don¡¯t really think I¡¯ll work with you, do you? Li Chen is mine, and you are also mine!¡±
