Although Lin Xubo had warned us about this beforehand, hearing that it had actually happened still sent chills down my spine.

Those indigenous people didn't look like nice guys. These women were powerless and were just taken away by them. I don't even want to think about what kind of treatment they will suffer.

I was even more worried. If these indigenous people were really after these women, then we had to get back to camp immediately. Everyone else was in our camp, and the area was very vulnerable. I couldn't guarantee that Chen Jian and the others could hold the camp.

What I was more worried about was Wang Xiaoxiao, after all, she was pregnant, and Liu Jiaojiao had just given birth, and the camp was in complete chaos.

They don't even have the most basic ability to protect themselves.

I quickly looked at Wang Ping: "We can't stay here now. Now that we've found them and they know where the missing people are, I think we should go back to the camp first and then make further plans."

Wang Ping nodded: "That's what I think too. Besides, they've been traveling a long way these past two days and are quite frightened and physically unwell. Let's go back to camp to rest first, and then consider other things."

Yang Rui was clearly excited to have found these foreigners, while Lin Xubo's attitude towards them softened somewhat after he found them.

Their ship has been badly damaged, and their camp is almost empty. If they continue to stay on the beach, they will only face certain death.

In addition, there were several other foreign women in their group, so it wasn't safe for them to stay there.

I gritted my teeth and decided to take them all back.

Upon hearing this, Yang Rui became even more excited and quickly stepped forward to lead the way. Lin Xubo swaggered around, standing behind me and Wang Ping, clearly acting like a lackey.

However, I already knew what kind of person he was, so I couldn't be bothered with him. We were preoccupied with our own thoughts, but we didn't dare to stop for even a moment and hurried back to our camp.

Fortunately, when I returned, the camp was safe and sound, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

When these foreigners saw the facilities around our camp, their eyes lit up with envy.

Of course I know that everything we have now is the result of hard work.

These foreigners have been living a life of idleness and complacency; it's truly remarkable that they've survived this long.

But now is not the time to talk about these things. I need to seriously consider whether or not to rescue those three foreign women who have been captured.

After a quick wash at the waterfall at the foot of the mountain with this large group of people, we arrived at the top of the mountain.

Wang Xiaoxiao, Xu Wei, and the other women were all very surprised when they saw that we had brought these foreigners back.

Xu Wei leaned closer, looking me up and down with obvious concern, before frowning and asking, "Why didn't you come back last night? Why did you bring them back? What's going on?"

I patted Xu Wei on the shoulder and winked at her: "These things are too complicated to explain in a sentence or two. There's food in the pot. Go and get the big pot we used before and cook more food. They're all hungry. Let's get the dried seafood first."

Xu Wei nodded. Xiao Qiang also walked over from beside the waterwheel. Seeing so many people coming and going, she frowned deeply. She was holding the fruit that she had washed for Liu Jiaojiao and was preparing to steam it.

Liu Jiaojiao is still in her postpartum period. Although the conditions are simple, these women have been protecting Liu Jiaojiao very well.

Hearing the commotion, Chen Jian had already come out of his wooden house. He frowned when he saw the people around us, glanced around, and then his eyes fell on Lin Xubo, where he showed a look of disgust.

Xu Wei and the others started cooking, while Chen Jian, Wang Ping, and I went up to the second floor of my wooden cabin.

Once I sat down in my cubicle, I looked out the window and saw Yang Rui bustling about like a socialite, attending to people in front of and behind them.

Bai Wei, however, sat silently beside his wooden hut with a grim expression.

Our group of male colleagues kept a certain distance from these foreigners, but the female foreigners were in a very disheveled state, with their clothes and pants in tatters. Our group of female colleagues couldn't bear to see them like that, so they found two wolf skins for each of them.

Humans always have a soft spot deep inside, and seeing these women like this, I really couldn't bear it, so I just left it at that.

Wang Ping poured himself a glass of water, drank it down in big gulps, and then looked at Chen Jian and sighed.

Chen Jian looked at the situation in the cabin and frowned: "What exactly happened to you? Why did you bring them all back? Did you run into Lin Xubo again on the way? You didn't come back all night last night, and the remaining male colleagues didn't dare to sleep and kept watch all night. We thought you had encountered something outside. What exactly happened?"

Wang Ping and I quickly gave Chen Jian a brief account of what had happened. After listening, Chen Jian frowned even more deeply.

"So, these indigenous people really want to take advantage of these women?"

Wang Ping nodded: "Not only that, but we don't even know if their three female colleagues who were arrested are alive or dead. These foreigners really have nowhere else to go. If they stay in our camp, we can let them go out and do some work. Many hands make light work. This is definitely true. However, whether or not we should go to rescue them is a headache."

Upon hearing Wang Ping's words, Chen Jian immediately shook his head: "What's the point of saving them? Let's not even talk about whether we can find the indigenous people's hideout. Even if we do, do you really think we can fight them to a draw or even win? They've lived here for countless generations and know the geography very well. They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows; I don't believe these indigenous people only have one place. If we go to a hideout and find that the people we're looking for aren't there, we've already alerted them, making the next operation even more difficult. If we then draw their anger here, wouldn't our female colleagues in the camp be in danger too?"

Of course I know that Chen Jian's words make sense, and I understand even more that now that Liu Jiaojiao has given birth, Chen Jian's heart is completely devoted to the mother and daughter.

I feel uneasy if we really have to mobilize all our resources to rescue those three foreign women whom we barely know.

But as the old saying goes, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

Now that the foreigners' female colleagues have been arrested, who can guarantee that our female colleagues in the camp will remain safe?

If these indigenous people were to attack again someday, we would indeed be as lucky as last time to escape that fierce attack.

If we really can't avoid it, then our future will still be uncertain.
