When the male colleagues learned that Chen Jian and I disagreed with them sharing the food with Bai Wei, they had no choice but to sit down by our campfire, each silently busy with their own tasks.

They longed to see the clay pot hanging above them, constantly emitting a fragrant aroma.

Chen Jian, standing to the side, chuckled coldly at the group and whispered, "See? Sihai, that's human nature. When they think they're hanging out with Bai Wei, they'll treat him like a god as long as they have food and drink. But when they think Bai Wei is useless, who'll still protect him? Bai Wei brought this on himself. He always thinks everyone can't live without him, but he never imagined that we're no longer the ones eating his food at the company. Sigh, he really can't see the future."

I know Bai Wei's character; he's obsessed with saving face and suffers for it.

He probably won't come here begging for mercy, but that's fine too. I'm too lazy to bother with them anyway. As long as they don't starve to death, then I've done my part.

After all the male colleagues finished eating, they obediently stayed by our house, helping us chop firewood and build a campfire.

The female colleagues sat silently in our small cubicles on the second floor.

Xu Wei and the others had already gone to sleep. The sky gradually darkened, and twinkling stars appeared in the night sky.

Chen Jian took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh, "This island is really full of strange things. I never thought that an earthquake would happen in a place like this. It was really scary. Fortunately, we were just lucky this time. But I still think we should reinforce our house. Otherwise, I will always feel uneasy."

“I also think we should reinforce it, but before we do, let’s go get some food first. We don’t have much food to begin with, and we haven’t gone out to look for more these past few days. We’ve already shared it with this group of people, and we’re afraid we won’t have anything left tomorrow. It’s okay for the men to drink some, but these women can’t go hungry.”

“I think we should let Wang Ping stay here tomorrow, and the two of us can go to the beach and take a look. It rained so hard yesterday, the tide must be high. There might be a lot of sea creatures washed up in the crevices of the rocks. If we can find more fish and shrimp, we can have some fresh food to improve our meals.”

Chen Jian nodded, and the matter was settled.

With our colleagues keeping watch outside, we felt much more at ease, so we all went back inside to rest. When we woke up early the next morning, we found that our male colleagues were also lying crookedly in front of our wooden house.

Chen Jian kicked his two male colleagues awake and took out some dried fish and mushrooms that had been dried earlier from his wooden house.

"Let's stew these things in a pot and have something to eat. Then I'll take you to the beach to find some food. Otherwise, you can't keep eating our food."

Upon hearing Chen Jian's suggestion, Bai Wei's group of male colleagues quickly nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right. Then let's cook the food in this pot first, eat something to fill our stomachs, and then head over right away?"

Seeing their trembling expressions made me feel somewhat uncomfortable, after all, all people are equal.

To be honest, I have never thought of myself being superior to anyone.

But because Bai Wei still couldn't see his place, I had to make them understand that in this kind of place, the strong prey on the weak. If I can find something, I am the boss of you guys, and you must obey my orders.

Only by following my instructions can we survive in this place.

Bai Wei still hasn't come over, but I think one or two of these male colleagues will secretly bring him some food, so he won't starve to death.

After we finished a quick breakfast, Chen Jian brought weapons and tools and several baskets, distributing them to almost all the male colleagues, one for each of them. Then he followed me to the beach.

Just as I predicted, the tide was high at the beach.

The beach was covered with marine life: lots of fish, shrimp, crabs, and seaweed and kelp.

This time, in addition to the food we usually eat, there was a huge thing lying on the beach, which looked like a whale.

Chen Jian ran forward nimbly, looked me up and down, frowned and yelled at me.

"Brother Sihai, this thing doesn't look like a whale. It's huge, look!"

One of the male colleagues immediately ran forward to observe with Chen Jian, and after checking, he also frowned.

"Whales don't look like this, but this isn't a shark either! What is this thing? I've never seen anything like it before!"

All my male colleagues, including myself, went up to take a look, but the fish looked to be more than ten meters long, and judging by its weight, it must have weighed in tons.

He looked enormous; standing next to him felt like having a date next to a watermelon.

After looking around for a while, Chen Jian took out his dagger and slashed hard at the belly of the strange fish.

When I made the cut, no blood came out; instead, a white substance came out.

Chen Jian frowned, looking disgusted: "Is this thing rotten?"

But then another male colleague came over to take a look, and then shook his head.

"No, this stuff must be fat. This fish is so big, it must have a lot of fat inside!"

Upon hearing his male colleague's words, Chen Jian immediately became excited: "Fat? Does that mean we'll have oil to eat? And this fish is so big, I don't believe it doesn't have any lean meat at all! Hurry up! Bring over the ropes we brought, I want to go up and see if this fish actually has any lean meat."

Anyway, the fish is already dead, so let Chen Jian do whatever he wants with it. I looked around the beach and saw that there were still many live fish and shrimp in the crevices of the rocks, which made my mouth water.

As I was debating whether to pack the shrimp or the sea cucumber first, Chen Jian, who was already climbing on the fish, suddenly waved and shouted at me with a look of delight on his face.

"Brother Sihai, this fish is fucking fat! Let's cut it up and extract the oil to eat!"

Seeing Chen Jian's face full of joy, I couldn't help but laugh. This was indeed true, but I didn't know if this thing was actually edible.

Chen Jian had already cut the big fish into several pieces with the knife and thrown them into the basket, which was now full. The white stuff was still dripping onto the ground, and it was unclear whether it was edible or not.

Chen Jianli immediately called over a male colleague and handed him the basket.

"Go and take this back to Brother Wang Ping. Have them check with Secretary Xiao Qiang to see if this thing is edible. If it is, come back quickly and let us know. Today, we don't need to look for anything else; this thing will be enough for us to eat for a while!"
