Seeing that everyone had relaxed, Zhang Shi gave them a series of instructions. Although Wang Wu's team was a partner, they didn't know each other's backgrounds, so Zhang Shi still had a bit of wariness in his heart.

"Attention everyone, you can only move around near the post station and cannot enter the dense forest. Otherwise, if you are caught by the patrolling soldiers, you may be executed on the spot. As for the various entertainment facilities inside the post station, you can ask Xiaomei for information. All kinds of board games, card games, and karaoke are already open."

Zhang Shi then pointed to Maotai.

"This bar is managed by You Maotai. Currently, it can serve baijiu, beer and fruit wine. If you need anything, just tell him and he will try his best to meet your needs."

"Okay, thank you very much, Boss Zhang Shi."

Zhang Shi nodded and then left the bar. Zhao Feng saw him come out and quickly followed, whispering something to him.

"Zhang Dazhuang has led two squads of soldiers and has completely surrounded the post station. Not even a mosquito could get through. You can rest assured."

Zhang Shi patted him on the shoulder and then left.

Many support soldiers were preparing food in the kitchen of the post station. Today's special theme was still barbecue. Zhang Shi had procured a large amount of meat for this purpose. Although only a few of them were graded, the island had a full range of seasonings and dedicated cooks, so the taste was excellent and the price was naturally not low.

Many of the customers had been starving all day, and as soon as they arrived on the island, they placed an order through Xiaomei for a barbecue group meal. Wang Wu's side couldn't just drink alcohol; they also needed to provide meat and dried fruit. This was enough food for dozens of people, and the kitchen staff worked hard for quite a while, finally finishing processing the ingredients by dusk.

Wu Qing personally lit a bonfire on the beach and set up a grill next to it, with meat skewers already seasoned on top. A group of customers either lay on beach chairs to enjoy the sunset or danced around the bonfire, creating a lively atmosphere.

"I felt like I was back in the real world on this island. I wish I could stay here forever."

"This place is like a paradise, there's no danger, and supplies are plentiful. Boss, do you need any underlings? I'll follow you from now on."

The speaker was one of Wang Wu's men. Wang Wu tapped him and laughed and scolded him.

"You little rascal, you can't do it behind people's backs, can you? Who switches jobs in front of the boss?"

Laughter erupted on the beach as the survivors feasted on meat and drank wine around the campfire. Even Wang Wu felt a sense of disorientation, as if he had returned to that peaceful and tranquil real world.

After a hearty meal, some people returned to their rooms to rest, while others went to the entertainment room to spend money. Hou Kun, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, tiptoed into the dense forest behind the post station, observing the terrain while opening a private chat interface to video chat with someone.

"Boss, I've already infiltrated Zhang Shi's island. I've sent you the island's coordinates, but he only allows us to operate on the outskirts. The location of his shelter is still unknown."

On the other end of the video, Brother Long listened to Hou Kun's report with a serious expression, and after a moment he gave him instructions.

"Monkey, find a way to get the coordinates of his shelter. When the time is right, we'll send our army to invade and take control of the island. You'll get the credit, and you'll live a life of luxury."

In the dense forest, under the cover of the faint moonlight and the shadows of the trees, Hou Kun cautiously responded to Brother Long's instructions: "Boss, don't worry, I'll figure something out. But Zhang Shi is quite cunning and is wary of us. I need to find an opportunity to go deeper inside."

"Okay, be careful and don't reveal your identities. Remember, our goal is the entire island; don't let small things cause us to lose sight of the bigger picture."

In the video, Brother Long nodded, his eyes gleaming with greed and ambition.

Hou Kun hung up the video call, silently calculating in his mind. He knew the importance of this mission and was also aware that Zhang Shi was not an easy opponent. But the thought of the potential rewards and status he might receive upon success filled him with motivation.

He quietly retreated to the vicinity of the post station, found a secluded corner to hide in, and began to observe the layout of the post station and the movement of people. He discovered that the post station was heavily guarded on the outside, but the number of soldiers patrolling at night was reduced, and the guard over the dense forest seemed less strict than that on the outer perimeter.

Hou Kun had made up his mind. He decided to wait until late at night, using the cover of darkness to sneak into the interior of the island and look for an opportunity to obtain the coordinates of Zhang Shi's shelter. He waited patiently until the night was deep and all was quiet before quietly getting up and heading into the dense forest again.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhang Shi had already noticed his every move. At that moment, Zhang Shi zoomed in on the panoramic map, revealing Hou Kun's furtive figure clearly, leaving him nowhere to hide. He sneered inwardly, surprised that someone had already lost their composure so quickly.

"Stone, should we catch him now?"

Zhao Feng's voice carried a hint of anger; he hadn't expected that Wang Wu's men would be the first to betray them.

"Don't panic. Send someone to keep an eye on him secretly and see what he's up to," Zhang Shi ordered in a deep voice.

Zhao Feng immediately arranged for men to secretly monitor Hou Kun's every move. Hou Kun, however, remained completely unaware and continued to sneak deeper into the island.

Just as he was about to reach the mining area, several soldiers suddenly sprang out from the shadows and surrounded him. Hou Kun was terrified and tried to resist, but it was too late.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" A deep voice rang in my ears; it was one of the soldiers responsible for guarding the mine area.

Hou Kun inwardly groaned, knowing his operation had been exposed. He forced himself to remain calm, attempting to fabricate a plausible excuse to explain his actions.

"Well, I just went out for a stroll, but it got too dark at night and I accidentally got lost."

Zhang Shi had already seen everything through the surveillance footage. He hadn't expected Hou Kun to be so unprofessional; before he could even cast his fishing rod, the man had run into a patrolling soldier.

Zhang Shi smiled coldly and ordered his men, "Bring him here. I have questions for him."

Soon after, Hou Kun was brought before Zhang Shi. Looking into Zhang Shi's cold eyes, a chill ran through him. He knew that this time, his chances of survival were slim.

"Speak, who exactly is instigating you? What is your purpose in coming here?" Zhang Shi's voice was cold and authoritative.

Hou Kun knew he could no longer hide the truth, so he had no choice but to confess his identity and purpose. He admitted that he was one of Brother Long's men and had come to investigate the coordinates of Zhang Shi's shelter.

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Zhang Shi's eyes. He hadn't expected Brother Long to be so arrogant as to send people to investigate his territory. He hadn't even settled accounts with him yet, and Brother Long had already delivered himself to his doorstep.

Zhang Shi looked coldly at Hou Kun, already having made up his mind.

"Hmph, Brother Long? Who does he think he is? Daring to run wild on my turf?" Zhang Shi sneered, then ordered his men, "Take him away and give him a good welcome. Let him know that this is not a place where he can act recklessly."

Hou Kun's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He knew that his chances of survival were slim. However, since things had come to this, he could only helplessly accept his fate.
