I'm not really familiar with Yang Rui; I just saved his life back then.

Moreover, the reason why this group of foreigners and I decided to come and find Yang Rui and his group was simply to ask them how they got here and how they planned to leave.

If they agree, we can take this opportunity to leave this deserted island completely.

But I'm not sure if Yang Rui still recognizes me now.

Even if he recognizes me, if he doesn't help me, and I'm all alone now, suffering from various ailments, can I really achieve what I want?

I hesitated for a moment, but decided it was better not to go out for the time being and attract their attention.

Firstly, I don't know what their purpose is in coming to this deserted island. If they are like us, and have only ended up here by accident, then perhaps we can unite and think of a way to leave this godforsaken place.

But if they came here with some other purpose, then things on this deserted island are much more complicated than I imagined.

At the very least, I don't think they came for the jade mine.

Because after we rescued Yang Rui, we went to that jade mine, but we didn't find any signs that anyone had been there.

Moreover, if Yang Rui and his group really came for that jade mine, then they would have to find a way to mine it and get something from it.

But nothing inside that jade mine has changed; even the fish bones we ate there last time are still the same.

Thinking about it, Yang Rui and the others must have come here for some other reason.

But why did they come to such a desolate and dangerous island?

My mind was in complete chaos, but I knew I absolutely couldn't go out now; exposing myself could be dangerous.

I held my breath, carefully moved closer to a tree, and then cautiously squatted down under it, straining my ears and straining my whole body to listen carefully to what they were saying.

But after listening for a while, I started to get a headache because their Mandarin was mixed with some things that sounded like foreign languages, and I couldn't understand them at all.

However, I did understand two of the sentences: gold.

I was shocked. Could there be gold on such a deserted island?

But we've been here for so long and haven't found anything!

But upon further reflection, I realized that this matter is quite easy to explain.

Since we were stranded on this deserted island, we have never dared to wander around carelessly, and we have also suffered countless dangers and shocks during this time.

There is also a strange group of indigenous people in this area. Although no trace of them has been found recently, they definitely exist.

Our arrival on this deserted island attracted the attention of the natives, and they had even attacked the group of foreigners.

Thinking about it this way, could it be that these indigenous people stayed here to guard the gold?

But then I thought about it again and realized that my idea was rather ridiculous.

There was no trade on this deserted island, and the natives certainly had no concept of gold.

After all, when you can't even fill your stomach, gold is nothing but a fart in front of you.

It's not as affordable as a roasted wild boar leg.

But this time I am even more certain that Yang Rui and the others came to this deserted island of their own free will, and I am even more convinced that they must have a way to leave.

But right now, I have no one to discuss things with. Otherwise, if either Wang Ping or Chen Jian were here, we could have a proper discussion about what to do next.

Just as I was feeling completely confused, a loud argument suddenly erupted around the fire. One of the men was swearing loudly, and he was speaking Mandarin, which I could understand.

“Pete

"This can't be like you say. We had everything planned out when we came here. What kind of person are you to go back on your word like this? We took such a huge risk to get here, and this is exactly what we're doing. If you want to run away now, I'm telling you, I won't allow it!"

The person who spoke Mandarin had an unusually deep voice, while the one called Pete...

The person quickly followed suit with a curse, but it was in a language I couldn't understand at all.

There seemed to be a huge argument going on at their camp, as if something hadn't been agreed upon. However, I also knew that this group of people wasn't very united.

The loud argument quickly escalated into a fight. I hid to the side, not daring to make a sound, and carefully watched them for a while. When they stood up, I realized there were seven of them in the group.

If they don't recruit any more, then there should be seven people.

These seven men were all burly men, each wearing camouflage uniforms, clearly prepared for the occasion. There were also many backpacks next to the campfire, and it was obvious that they contained a lot of equipment that we wanted but couldn't get.

I still can't be sure if the man named Yang Rui is in there.

Their argument and fight lasted for more than half an hour before they were finally separated.

That person named Pete

The burly man was clearly furious. He was probably a foreigner, with a long beard and a camouflage hat. He pointed menacingly at the man who had just spoken to him and yelled.

I couldn't understand what he was babbling about, but he was clearly very angry.

And the one who just reprimanded Pete

The man was also panting heavily, and it seemed he was holding a dagger in his hand.

“He, we can’t blame Peter for this. After all, what he said isn’t wrong. Think about it, how long have we been here? We’ve already lost several companions. If we continue searching blindly like this, I don’t know if we’ll even be able to leave this place alive. So I think we should calm down now. If we still can’t find it on the map, then I think we should go back first! Maybe your information is wrong, who knows?”

The man called He chuckled coldly: "Zhao Li, you should know that if we go back empty-handed, then their deaths will have been in vain. We've come all this way through so many hardships, are you willing to leave empty-handed?"

The man called Zhao Li immediately fell silent, and their camp instantly became quiet.

However, I am even more certain that they came here to find something, and the gold they mentioned must be their purpose for coming.

Moreover, there weren't just seven of them this time; it seems they suffered losses after arriving on this deserted island.
