Chen Jian's words made me want to laugh, but they also made me feel more and more that Chen Jian was a man I could entrust my life to.

If Liu Jiaojiao also has those kinds of feelings for Chen Jian, then I might as well really act as a matchmaker and bring them together.

Chen Jian is now fully recovered, so we decided to go out for another visit.

However, I'm not entirely at ease this time because of the robbery that happened when we left the camp.

However, Xu Wei and Xiao Qiang repeatedly assured me that they would never leave the cave, so I left them one of the guns before leaving with Chen Jian and the others.

This time we're heading in the opposite direction.

And they plan to stay for several days this time.

If we can find a new campsite, then our efforts won't have been in vain. If we can't find one, we'll at least gain some new insights into this island.

Xiao Qiang was unhappy when she learned that I was leaving, and Xu Wei also had red eyes but dared not say anything.

I could tell that these two women were also extremely reluctant to leave, but given the current situation, we had no choice but to find a new campsite so that our lives could return to some peace.

Wang Xiaoxiao and Liu Jiaojiao prepared dry food for us without saying a word, including eggs, meat, various fishing rods, and dried shellfish meat.

Xiao Qiang even brought me a bottle of wine and gathered a lot of herbs. With everyone's anticipation, we set off at noon that day.

However, because we had so much stuff, we ended up tying a rope to a tree trunk and dragging everything along it, which saved us some effort.

We walked until afternoon, surrounded by woods.

Occasionally, waves crash against the shore, and you can collect some fresh seashells and sea cucumbers to eat.

However, apart from that, we didn't gain anything else.

Chen Jian was getting anxious, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings warily.

We didn't set up camp by the water until the sun had set.

Fortunately, the temperature difference here is not great, whether it is day or night. We huddled together around a campfire and ate the dry rations we brought. Wang Ping sighed.

"I think we should go deeper into the woods tomorrow and take another look. Maybe there aren't any places to camp near the beach?"

"But we don't know what the other side of the forest is like."

A male colleague shook his head while eating dried fish after hearing Wang Ping's suggestion.

“I think Manager Wang is right. But we don’t have many tools. If we really encounter any danger, pointing at the other small gun in Zhao Sihai’s hand might not be very useful. Just to be safe, let’s stay outside and take a look.”

Chen Jian scoffed at his male colleague's words, "You bunch of people are just lazy bums, cowards! If we don't take a look around, what are we doing coming all this way for? I think Brother Wang is right, why don't we head into the woods tomorrow and take a look?"

I know Chen Jian is anxious and wants to find a new campsite, but what my male colleague said isn't wrong either. If there's really any danger in this forest, I'm afraid the few of us won't be able to handle it.

But in this situation, it's not a big deal if the bold get rich while the timid starve to death and just go in to take a look.

"Anyway, things have to wait until tomorrow to be done. Let's just rest now and talk about it tomorrow."

We took turns keeping watch while we slept at night. The next day, as soon as it was light, we ate something and immediately grabbed the raft and headed into the woods.

This grove of trees is very tall and the trees grow very neatly. It is cool and damp everywhere. As Xiao Qiang had instructed, I found mushrooms under many of the trees.

Moreover, besides the sea, there is a small mountain nearby with a constantly flowing stream and a very tiny waterfall, but the scenery is quite nice.

Seeing this, Chen Jian was overjoyed. He took off his clothes and went into the waterfall to take a shower.

Several male colleagues around him were also envious of him, and they threw down their things and rushed in as well.

Wang Ping and I sat on a rock to the side, keeping a watchful eye on our surroundings.

They only came out after Chen Jian and the others had finished drinking and making merry.

One of my male colleagues was a bit overweight and would pant as he walked. He was sitting on a rock taking a shower when he suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" and then shouted at us.

"Hey, I think I've found a hole here, come and take a look."

I was taken aback, and immediately went over and stood on the rock to look in the direction he was pointing. Sure enough, I saw a hole to the lower left of the waterfall.

The hole was big enough for one person to pass through, but one would have to bend over to get in.

Chen Jian also became interested, splashed around in the water and ran there, peered into the hole, and then shook his head.

"The cave entrance isn't very big, but it must be quite deep inside. And this mountain is so small, there might be some wild animals in this cave, right?"

As soon as Chen Jian finished speaking, several male colleagues around him tensed up, and the somewhat overweight male colleague splashed around in the water and came out.

I looked at the small hill, which wasn't very high, with a sense of doubt. Even if there were caves inside that people could pass through, we wouldn't dare go in. After all, all sorts of strange things had happened on this island, and going in now would be suicide.

Besides, even if we could live in this cave, it's dark inside, and the entrance is so small that it's difficult to move anything in. If a wild animal rushed in, wouldn't we just be left to die?

I told Chen Jian not to stay at the cave entrance, because if something really rushed out, he wouldn't have time to run away.

Chen Jian's face turned pale, and he walked over to us.

We continued walking forward, and before long, we discovered a very large mountain behind the small hill.

This mountain is more than ten times bigger than the one I'm on now.

Moreover, this mountain looks very stable.

Chen Jian was somewhat pleased and turned to look at me and Wang Ping: "If there really is a cave on this mountain, do you think we've found a new campsite?"

Wang Ping shook his head: "If you really want to find a natural cave like Sihai, I'm afraid it will be difficult. However, if you have the perseverance, you can hollow out this mountain and build a small villa or something inside."

Upon hearing Wang Ping's somewhat sarcastic remarks, the male colleague next to him burst into laughter, but Chen Jian looked at the hilltop very seriously and nodded.

“What Brother Wang said isn’t entirely impossible.”
