Wang Ping looked at me, then at Xiao He and his group, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Sihai is right. We need to find a perfect solution to this problem. Otherwise, if we have a conflict, who knows what they might have? We have families to support, and we can't afford to go through that kind of trouble."

But Chen Jian was clearly anxious: "What should we do? Are we just going to let him come with us like this?"

There is a solution to this problem. Since we're not very familiar with each other, we can just keep our distance. If they want to come, then let them come. There's strength in numbers, and what's happening on this deserted island is too bizarre. Keeping them around might not be a bad thing.

Chen Jian was still very uncomfortable. He said that Xiao He and his group had been trying to communicate with these foreigners, but because the foreigners had lost several partners in the past two days, they were in a bad mood and didn't pay any attention to them.

But being depressed now doesn't mean it will stay depressed forever.

"What if Xiao He and his gang found some opportunity and actually got in touch with these foreigners? Wouldn't we be like thieves stealing from foreign enemies?"

I was amused by Chen Jian's serious expression and quickly patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"You're overcomplicating things. Xiao He and the others came here simply to find something, and Yang Rui has already gone to Xiao He's side. That means we've already eliminated one internal threat. As for those foreigners, if they really want to collude with Xiao He and the others, so be it. Anyway, we were doing just fine before they came along."

Wang Ping quickly went to comfort Chen Jian and asked Chen Jian to tell Bai Wei and his group about these things, as they would have to be careful in the days to come.

Wang Ping and Chen Jianli immediately went to do other things, while I stood by the campfire, carefully watching the direction Xiao He and the others were heading.

They were whispering to each other, and no one could tell what they were saying. The firelight flickered, and their expressions were not clearly visible.

Yang Rui sat to one side, seemingly not interacting with them, keeping his head down the whole time.

I've never understood what the relationship is between Yang Rui and Xiao He, or what their current situation is.

But no matter what, it's certain that Yang Rui won't be on my side.

But now that we know they've met, all we need to do is be careful and cautious. There's nothing else to do.

Bai Wei and the others were obviously very happy to see me return.

But those missing colleagues will never come back, and everyone feels very heavy-hearted.

Since we were stranded on this deserted island, we thought that none of us would be injured or killed.

However, the bloody truth is now before you, and even if you don't want to admit it, there's nothing you can do.

Bai Wei has also lost a lot of weight recently, his hair has grown long like a woman's, and he looks listless.

Seeing me standing to the side, Bai Wei hurried over and whispered, "Lin Xubo has been maintaining his relationship with those foreigners lately. Although he's like a sycophant, Lin Xubo still has some ability. I think if those foreigners betray us, Lin Xubo will probably betray us too. That kid is no good. You'd better be careful of him."

I found it funny to hear Bai Wei say that.

But I finally understand that Bai Wei now considers us all as his own people, which is why he said those things.

I nodded very seriously: "Of course I know. Don't worry about it. I guess you've been very worried these past two days and haven't slept well. Find two people to keep watch tonight, and the rest of you can go and get some rest."

Bai Wei nodded after hearing what I said, but sighed and said, "Sigh, Zhao Sihai, to be honest, I really dislike you from the bottom of my heart. But when I saw you and Xu Wei rush into the woods and disappear that day, I was really afraid that you were dead. You should take good care of yourself in the future, after all, everyone is still counting on you."

After Bai Wei finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the camp. Watching his back, my heart suddenly softened.

Therefore, no matter what kind of person someone is, as long as they still have a little conscience, their heart will always be able to feel warmth.

We ate something in the evening; it was some fish soup that Xiao Qiang and the others made.

The fish in the sea aren't very fat right now, but luckily there are still some shellfish, sea cucumbers, and shrimp that we caught. A whole big iron pot of steaming hot food is placed in front of me, which makes me feel a little sad about the days I spent with Xu Wei in the woods before.

Xu Wei was clearly starving; she was wolfing down her food from a small clay bowl.

After they finished eating, the camp quieted down. In the evening, Xiao Qiang, Xu Wei, and the other foreign women all put on wolf skins and huddled around the campfire to keep warm.

I went into the tent again to check on Wang Xiaoxiao.

I'm back. Wang Xiaoxiao's mental state has improved a lot, and Tianci, thanks to Xiao Qiang's meticulous care, still looks very weak, but I believe my son will be able to bravely get through this difficult period.

After I coaxed Wang Xiaoxiao to sleep, I crawled out of the tent and straightened my back.

Only then did I see Yang Rui and Xiao He walking straight towards me.

Xiao He chuckled when he saw me: "We really owe this to Brother Zhao. If you hadn't shown us the way, we'd probably still be lost in that forest."

I quickly waved to him and then glanced at Yang Rui as if I weren't paying close attention.

Yang Rui glanced at me, but his expression remained calm. He simply looked at me indifferently and didn't say anything.

Xiao He remained enthusiastic: "Brother Zhao, we are all grateful to you for what happened this time, but shouldn't we make some other plans? After all, we can't stay in this camp for long."

I didn't quite understand what Xiao He meant by this "other plan" either.

However, I didn't respond to his comment at all, and just nodded seriously.

"Of course I have other plans. I plan to rest for two days first, and then I plan to go back to our old camp to take a look. If the damage is not too serious, then I want to clean up that camp. After all, we have some feelings for it after living there for a long time. Besides, this place is so dangerous now. You should understand the importance of being on high ground."

But to my surprise, Xiao He immediately shook his head after hearing what I said: "Brother Zhao, you should know that's not what I meant."

I know Xiaohe wants to get straight to the point.

But it's obvious that he'll probably use the same seductive methods as Yang Rui to lead us on an adventure.

If it were before, I might have actually wanted to go with him to see what their purpose was, since I've always been curious about why they came here.

But Wang Xiaoxiao has just given birth, and Tianci's body is so weak. Almost everyone just wants to be safe and sound. At this critical moment, how could I possibly risk my life with them?
