But these wild goats went missing last night. How could we possibly find them now if we went out to look for them?

These creatures, who originally lived in nature, were already very familiar with this place, and probably have run off somewhere by now.

But we all know that if we can't find the goat, we have to find other food as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, these wild goats often forage in that orchard, so if they really can't find the two that are missing, they can catch a few more.

Chen Jian kept cursing and swearing next to me; he was clearly the angrier one.

“I knew they were a bunch of good-for-nothings. It’s not safe outside the camp lately, so how could they possibly be out gathering firewood in the middle of the night? I think this kid must be up to something, he just won’t say it! We have to ask him properly when we get back. If that bastard has been in league with the outsiders, we won’t be able to guard against him at all!”

The two male colleagues next to Chen Jian looked rather grim after hearing his words.

I quickly gave Chen Jian a look and whispered, "Keep your voice down. After all, they all live with Bai Wei, and their relationship is much stronger than ours. Saying things like that will only cause trouble. Besides, what's the point of getting angry now that we've already lost them?"

Chen Jian, upon hearing my words, flew into a rage: "Brother Sihai, what time is it? What's with all this fighting? These good-for-nothings can't survive without us! We work so hard every day to find food to feed them, and now they're still so unhappy. What, do they think they can fly to the moon?"

"Besides, what's wrong with us being angry? Only he knows what they did out in the middle of the night. It was pitch black, and he went out to collect firewood? Brother Sihai, do you really believe his nonsense?"

Of course I didn't believe it, but seeing Chen Jian getting angrier and angrier, I felt that continuing like this was pointless, so I quickly shook my head at Chen Jian.

"Alright, alright, let's go outside and look for it again."

I quickly walked over to Wang Ping's side. Wang Ping was holding a gun, alert to the movement around him, looking around at his surroundings with an extremely grim expression.

I watched as Wang Ping organized his thoughts: "These goats are probably long gone. I think we should make some more vine nets and go to the fruit orchard to wait for them. These goats only eat in the afternoon, so we should still be able to catch them in time. If we can catch a few more, we'll make up for the loss and get some more food along the way."

Wang Ping nodded after hearing what I said: "Wang Xiaoxiao is pregnant, so she probably likes to eat fruit too..."

As Wang Ping spoke, his voice grew softer and softer. I knew he was still feeling uneasy, but what was done was done, and I didn't know how to comfort him. I just sighed and patted him on the shoulder.

Chen Jian nodded after hearing Wang Ping's words, and then quickly led the two male colleagues who had followed him to cut the vines, weaving a net as they went.

By the time we arrived at the orchard, the net was almost completely set up, and the ambush was complete. All we could do was wait.

As a result, they waited until the afternoon, but the goats still didn't come.

Wang Ping became somewhat anxious and sighed repeatedly.

"That shouldn't be the case. When we came here before, those wild goats used to come here to eat fruit every day. Why didn't any of them come today?"

My male colleague looked at me and Wang Ping cautiously, frowning, and said, "These wild animals are very intelligent. We've captured so many of their companions here before, so they must have their own language. It's understandable that they don't appear here. I think if we can't catch these goats, we should try catching some short-legged birds. Although bird meat isn't as good as goat meat, it's always good to stock up on some."

Chen Jian's anger had subsided considerably. After listening to his male colleague's words, he considered them carefully for a while and nodded in agreement.

“I think this is actually feasible. If we really can’t catch these wild goats, I think we should split up. You guys stay here and I’ll take this male colleague back first and go check that grove of shrubs. If these wild goats really come, the three of you should be able to handle it. If we can catch some short-legged birds as well, our losses won’t be too great.”

Wang Ping looked at Chen Jian, then at me, and nodded: "Then you have to be careful when you go. The weather is getting colder and colder. According to the habits of these wild animals, they will definitely hunt on a larger scale. If you really encounter any wild animals like tigers or lions on the road, you have to be even more careful. If you can't fight them head-on, you must save your life first. We will try our best to find a way."

Chen Jian nodded and immediately left with his male colleague.

And we will always continue to stay here.

But this time we didn't get what we wanted.

We didn't see any trace of the wild goats all day long, even as darkness fell.

I was in such a rush when I left this morning that I didn't eat anything or even drink any water. Luckily, there was still a lot of fruit in this orchard.

We had no choice but to pick some fruit to fill our stomachs.

Since we didn't bring baskets or a large cart, we ended up weaving some fine vine nets, and each of us carried several net bags of fruit back to the camp.

They thought Chen Jian and his group would also have some success, but when they arrived at the camp, they found the camp gate wide open, and they could faintly hear arguing coming from inside.

Wang Ping's face immediately darkened.

"What's wrong with everyone? We all know things haven't been peaceful lately, so why didn't you close the door? It's already getting dark. If some person or wild animal gets in, we won't even have time to prepare."

I also have some doubts. If Bai Wei and his group are brainless, then Wang Xiaoxiao, Xu Wei, and the other women are all meticulous.

Moreover, my female colleague has been working hard alongside us all during this time, and she knows the hardships and dangers involved. Normally, this situation would never happen!

Could something else have happened again?

I rushed into the camp first, and when I got to the top of the mountain, I saw Chen Jianzheng standing there arguing with someone.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the person was Lin Xubo!

Lin Xubo was much thinner than when he first arrived on the deserted island, and he looked at Chen Jian with disdain.

Bai Wei sat to the side, not saying a word.

Liu Jiaojiao, supported by Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Wei, stood to the side, her face also looking extremely pale, making the atmosphere in the entire camp very oppressive.

When Chen Jian and the others heard the noise, they turned around and saw it was me. Only then did they rush towards me angrily.

"Brother Sihai, Lin Xubo said he wants us to take them and those foreigners in, and he even said he'd sell our camp if we don't agree! Damn it, this kid's really got himself into big trouble now. Let's kill him today and see what he can do then! Colluding with foreign traitors!"
