I immediately gave instructions to my female colleagues, including Xu Wei and Xiao Qiang.

"Forget about everything else, just melt all the oil we collected earlier and keep it for later use!"

Xu Wei and the others nodded immediately, too busy to even look up.

Bai Wei and his group of male colleagues also started to divide the campfire we had built into two parts, one with boiling water and the other with hot oil.

Fortunately, our geographical conditions are truly ideal.

Because they are at a high place, it is easy for them to spill what they are holding, which is a disaster for these indigenous people.

After I threw the torch out, the indigenous people quickly descended into chaos, and I heard their screams one after another. Wang Ping's brows relaxed at this moment.

"It seems they just fell into our trap. These people deserve what they got. We didn't intentionally want to take over their territory. They're just a bunch of pitiful people. Why did they have to kill them all?"

Yang Rui wiped the cold sweat from his face, but remained vigilant about his surroundings, never lowering the gun he had raised.

Hearing Wang Ping say this, he sighed and said that these indigenous people are very territorial. They may think that we are an invasive species, so they want to exterminate us, even though we are the land they have lived on for many years. They just did not expect that we are also a tough nut to crack. However, they suffered a great loss here this time, and they will definitely not give up so easily next time.

Therefore, we still need to be extra careful.

I nodded, but just then a strange cry suddenly came from down the mountain, rising and falling, as if it were howling.

The sound was very sharp, and it sounded especially frightening in the quiet and dark night.

Wang Ping frowned and looked at Yang Rui: "Don't you think you know everything? Then do you know why they call them that?"

Yang Rui shrugged at Wang Ping: "How would I know? Maybe they're grieving the death of their comrade."

But I don't think so. If it were really just grief, they should have already left with their wounded or dead companions by now. Why would they be standing outside our door howling?

But I soon found out what they were doing, because a rustling sound started coming from outside our fences.

At the time, we were afraid of the trouble, and we had limited tools, so we transplanted the trees with roots to the surrounding area to serve as fences.

Trees were replanted one after another side by side, so many trees survived and their leaves were lush. But when I heard the leaves rustling suddenly, a bad feeling welled up in my heart.

These indigenous people can train lynxes, and no one knows exactly how many lynxes there are on such a large deserted island.

Hearing the rustling of the leaves, I couldn't help but wonder if the lynx army raised by the indigenous people had come here to help.

If that's really the case, then things will be in trouble.

Because these beasts can climb trees and jump from them to the top of our mountain, which is easy for them.

If that's the case, then the arrival of these lynxes would immediately turn the tide.

If we start fighting with the lynx, we won't have time to deal with the indigenous people. If they find an opening and break through our gates, won't we be back in a stalemate?

I immediately looked at Wang Ping: "Hurry up and have all the female colleagues bring out those vine nets we wove earlier. If these lynxes really charge at us, use those nets to trap them!"

Wang Ping nodded and turned to call for help, but at that moment the indigenous people down the mountain launched a second attack.

The hot water that Xu Wei and the others prepared will take a long time to boil.

The oil, which was originally boiling hot, had now cooled down. Even if you poured it on them, it wouldn't do any good and would only be a waste.

But Yang Rui still picked up the wooden ladle, filled it with oil, and poured it down the mountain.

After scattering the oil, they pulled wood from the campfire and threw it down. The oil quickly ignited, turning into a fiery dragon that snaked its way toward the wooden door.

Seeing Yang Rui's actions, I was instantly enraged: "What are you trying to do? If these fires burn down that wooden door, then those indigenous people won't even need to rush in. Are you trying to kill everyone?"

After hearing what I said, Yang Rui changed from his usual docile demeanor.

"Zhao Sihai, this isn't the time to play the hero. Of course, I don't want to get him killed, but right now we have to let them know that if they keep pushing, we'll have no choice but to fight to the death."

But Yang Rui, what kind of bullshit protest is this? You've burned down your own defenses and let those people know that we're ready to fight to the death.

Damn it, has his brain gotten waterlogged?

But now that the fire is already burning, there's no point in me getting angry.

Just as he was about to turn around and call Wang Ping'er, he heard even more urgent banging on the door coming from down the mountain.

Behind me, I heard several female colleagues scream in alarm. I turned around and, by the light of the campfire on the mountaintop, I saw more than a dozen large lynxes already standing menacingly on the treetops.

Two of them had already reached our camp. Wang Ping and the others were holding wooden sticks and reaching out to hit them, but these lynxes were very clever. They just arched their backs and retreated repeatedly, keeping their eyes fixed on the group, ready to attack at any moment.

Just as my head was about to explode, Chen Jian's exclamation suddenly came from inside the room: "Brother Sihai is in trouble! Something's happened!"

When I heard Chen Jian shouting so urgently, I didn't know what was going on for a moment. But soon I saw Chen Jian rush out of the house with his hands covered in blood, his face pale and his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

I was startled and quickly asked Chen Jian what was wrong. I saw Chen Jian with a long face: "Fourth, Fourth, Brother Sihai, Jiaojiao might be about to give birth. She was frightened and now her stomach hurts terribly. What should we do?"

Xu Wei and Xiao Qiang were boiling water when they heard Chen Jian's words and were both taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Wei reacted quickly and ran into our treehouse to get things.

Not long after, she tore off a lot of leather, along with the sailor uniforms and clothes that we had found on the ghost ship years ago, and quilts, and rushed them into Chen Jian's wooden house.

Xiao Qiang ran up to me and said solemnly, "Sihai, a new life is coming tonight. You must guard the camp well and not let this poor child meet with misfortune as soon as he sees the world. I'm going in to take care of Liu Jiaojiao first. You must take good care of yourself, okay?"

After saying that, Xiao Qiang hurriedly went into Chen Jian's house. I was completely stunned. She's about to give birth? How did all these things happen at once?

Why would Liu Jiaojiao give birth during such a chaotic time? This is really putting me in a difficult position!
