After Yang Rui finished speaking, his expression changed completely.

As soon as I heard him say that, I knew that this matter was definitely not simple.

Xiao Qiang brought me some hot soup from the top of the mountain. I shared a bowl with Yang Rui, who nodded gratefully in thanks.

"I haven't had hot soup in a long time, thank you so much for taking me in."

"We're all stranded on a deserted island, and everyone's having a tough time. There's no need for thanks. You guys chat, I have things to do on the mountaintop."

After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, she went back up the mountain, leaving only Yang Rui and me.

Yang Rui looked at me, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

Yang slowly told me about their past. He said that they were originally a group of adventurous hikers.

In my spare time, I enjoy exploring strange and unusual places, which is how I've met so many people.

The man named Xiao He was a friend he met during an adventure.

This Xiao He was very bold and loyal, and over time, the relationship between the group of friends became exceptionally good.

Last month, Xiao He suddenly contacted Yang Rui and asked if he wanted to go on an adventure with him.

Xiao He said he found a great place where everyone can go out and have fun together.

Yang Rui was on vacation at the time, and since he had nothing else to do, he figured he might as well go out and have some fun.

Firstly, it helps you relax and unwind, and secondly, it broadens your horizons.

Most importantly, Yang Rui also really enjoyed this kind of adventurous activity, so he agreed to Xiao He's request.

Upon learning this, Xiao He happily told Yang Rui that they might be going to a deserted island this time, where there would be many places they had never experienced before, and it would be very exciting.

Xiao He explained things very well, and Yang Rui couldn't help but be tempted, so they made a plan.

The original plan was to travel for 15 days, but on the day of departure, Yang Rui discovered that they were not only going on an adventure, but they had also rented a large boat.

Once on board, Yang Rui discovered that besides himself, Xiao He, and other people he had hung out with before, there were also several foreigners who had inexplicably appeared. The group of more than ten people were all eager and excited.

Moreover, Yang Rui also discovered that the equipment they had prepared this time was something he had never seen before. In fact, much of the equipment was very advanced, and there were even guns among them.

During this time, Yang Rui asked Xiao He where he was going to play, but Xiao He told him mysteriously that as long as he followed him, Yang Rui would definitely be amazed.

Yang Rui thought that since he was already here, he couldn't just jump off the ship and swim back to the city, so he decided to make the best of it and go out to sea with Xiao He and the others.

After setting sail, they traveled for more than a week before finally reaching the deserted island.

Upon hearing Yang Rui say this, I immediately interrupted him: "You mean it takes more than a week to get from the city to this deserted island?"

Yang Rui nodded: "Yes, we've been operating at full capacity for a week, day and night."

"Do you know exactly where this place is located?"

Yang Rui shook his head: "I don't know about that. I did bring a compass at the beginning, but it stopped working after we got to sea. Xiao He seems to have some kind of map, and they should have been sailing according to that latitude. I asked Xiao He, but he didn't say. I thought this was just like our previous trips, but I didn't expect things to be so complicated."

"After we arrived here, we had just disembarked when one of our colleagues was bitten by a wild wolf in the area. Fortunately, we brought a lot of wound medicine with us and he was able to treat the wound. I felt that this expedition was more troublesome than the ones I had encountered before. Moreover, I also discovered that Xiao He and his team had brought not only guns and ammunition, but also a lot of heavy weapons."

I already knew they were carrying guns, because it was because Xiao He and his group were carrying guns that Yang Rui was shot.

It was because Yang Rui was shot that we rescued him by chance, and thus learned that there were other people on this deserted island.

As for Xiao He and Yang Rui, I don't really care whether they came here to strike it rich or not.

The only thing I care about is whether their big ship is still there, and whether we can leave here on her ship.

However, we can't ask too directly about this, otherwise, if the purpose is too obvious, it will inevitably arouse Yang Rui's suspicion.

So I nodded, signaling him to continue.

Yang Rui said that after they disembarked, they encountered one danger after another on the deserted island.

They had seen herds of wild boars and encountered venomous snakes, so Yang Rui increasingly felt that this expedition had exceeded his acceptable limits.

I once suggested to Xiao He that they should retreat first. Although they brought guns, none of them are professional snipers, so the guns wouldn't be of much use to them.

However, Xiao He did not think so. When Yang Rui first mentioned wanting to leave, Xiao He's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but she gently persuaded Yang Rui.

Tell him that this place, besides offering adventure and excitement, also provides him with things he could never normally dream of or even obtain.

Yang Rui only learned during another conversation that Xiao He and his group had found a gold mine here.

As for where Xiao He got this information, he didn't know.

After learning that there was a gold mine in the area, everyone became very excited. Even those who had originally planned to go back with Yang Rui changed their minds.

However, as the food and medicine he brought with him were consumed, Yang Rui increasingly felt that staying on this deserted island was not a good thing, so he brought it up with Xiao He and the others again.

But to everyone's surprise, Xiao He got angry with Yang Rui that day, saying that Yang Rui was constantly undermining morale and that doing so was sabotaging him. The two got into a fight after a few words.

That day, they unfortunately encountered a pack of wolves, and in the chaos, Yang Rui was shot.

Feeling that he was about to die, he still mustered all his strength to climb a tree.

As for where Xiao He and the others went afterward, Yang Rui had no idea.

Finally, the wolf pack dispersed, and Yang Rui was completely unconscious. He fell from the tree, which is how we discovered him and saved his life.

After Yang Rui finished speaking, he sighed deeply: "You never thought that I would be shot in the back by my own friend and almost lose my life. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have come here with him in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't have put my life in danger."
