When people are panicked, they lose all rationality.

Although Yang Rui strained his neck and shouted at the top of his lungs, these foreigners were already in a frenzy and had no time to pay attention to him.

A group of people huddled together, cursing and wailing, and the scene quickly spiraled out of control.

Wang Ping was extremely anxious. He grabbed me and shouted in my ear, "Sihai, I think we really should find a safe place to hide right now. Otherwise, staying here is not going to end anytime soon! Who knows how long this torrential rain will last? Even if the tsunami doesn't kill us, we'll be exhausted and hungry from all this rain, and we'll get sick sooner or later!"

But in this situation, I have no idea where to hide, since I'm not very familiar with this deserted island.

Since we landed on this deserted island, we have been constantly searching for a place to settle down.

But I absolutely cannot take these foreigners back to our current camp. Besides, even if we go back, the tsunami's fluctuations are so great that it might collapse. Nobody can say for sure.

But if I keep getting soaked in the rain like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it anymore.

"Listen to me, everyone, stop arguing!"

I shouted loudly at the crowd in the pouring rain, and Yang Rui stopped talking and turned to look at me.

"If we go any further ahead, there should be a mountain. It's a sloping mountain, so even if it can't block all the rain, it should still be able to help. Let's go there and take a look. Just leave your supplies here for now. Anyway, nothing will come near us in this torrential rain!"

Yang Rui seemed to have translated my words to these foreigners. They looked at each other, but still listened to my advice. One pulled on another, holding onto the wooden pole to prevent the crowd from being separated. Then Wang Ping and I walked in front, leading them to continue forward.

I've been in this area for a while before, but walking during the day and walking at night are two different things.

In addition, the weather hadn't cooled down completely yet, and there was a downpour outside, making it impossible to open one's eyes as the rain pounded on one's head, making movement extremely difficult.

We need to find a place to shelter from the rain, and we also need to start a fire quickly.

Otherwise, without warmth and without food, no one could stay still for long.

At the beginning, I was pointing the way, and we walked for about half an hour, which felt like an eternity.

Yang Rui followed behind us the whole time. At first, he was still trying to persuade those foreigners, probably to cheer them on.

But then Yang Rui stopped talking, and we all became like machines, rigidly and relentlessly searching for a way forward.

As I walked ahead, I became increasingly hurried, because I remembered that the hill on this slope should be to the left and slightly in front of the area where we had previously built the treehouse.

Based on my previous distance estimate, it should be less than ten miles.

But now we've gone more than ten miles, and we still haven't seen that mountain range.

This made me very uneasy. Normally, mountains don't move around easily, which means we must be going the wrong way.

But I've already led this group out of here, and if I go back now, it will inevitably make everyone doubt my leadership abilities.

While I'm not afraid of those things, what's terrifying is that some of them might not be able to persevere and lose their lives because of this wasted time. That's what I can't bear.

After walking for another half day, Wang Ping suddenly grabbed me, his face deathly pale: "Sihai, where exactly is that mountain? We can't just keep walking aimlessly like this. Look at those women, some of them can't walk anymore, and one of them just fell down. We have to find a safe place quickly, otherwise, none of us can hold on!"

I nodded: "I know, don't worry, I think it shouldn't be long!"

I tugged at Wang Ping and continued walking forward. This time, after walking for about ten minutes, I finally saw the mountain. The moment I saw it, I felt at peace.

I led everyone and quickly ran to the foot of the mountain.

The mountain is indeed steeply sloping, and there was a spot where we could take shelter. Although rain kept pouring in, it was much less stifling than having the rain directly hitting our bodies.

After hiding inside, many men started taking off their clothes to wring out water.

The women huddled together tightly, their hair disheveled and their faces pale.

It's understandable that they couldn't stand the cold rain that had been falling for so long and the night air was so chilly.

But I'm more worried about Chen Jian's situation. We're all grown men, and even if we suffer a little, we can get through it.

But Liu Jiaojiao is pregnant and has a big belly, and Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Wei are both weak and frail. If they really leave the camp and Chen Jian has no way to settle them properly, then will these women be just like us, lost and confused in the woods or somewhere else?

I dared not think about it anymore, because the more I thought about it, the more upset I became.

Just then, Yang Rui behind him suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, there seems to be a hole here, it looks like we can go in!"

When Wang Ping heard Yang Rui say this, he was also a little excited and immediately went over. The foreigner took out a flashlight from his pocket and shone it inside.

Inside, there really was an empty hole, but the entrance was very narrow. Only women of small stature could fit inside.

But someone with a strong physique like that foreigner with the big beard would probably get stuck halfway through.

Wang Ping was probably furious at this moment, and given our current difficult situation, he picked up a huge rock from the ground and threw it at the small crack.

Influenced by Wang Ping, the foreigners around him also began to pick up stones and smash them into the hole.

I don't know how long they smashed it, but the surrounding stones were actually cracked quite a bit.

The bearded man rushed in first, followed by Yang Rui, and then we all went into the cave through the small opening.

Once inside, we discovered that the mountain was actually hollow. The area inside wasn't very large, but it was enough for us to sit in a row.

It was very cold inside the cave, and it would get even colder when a breeze blew in occasionally, but at least here we didn't have to suffer from the wind and rain.
