We had fish soup in the morning, and fish soup at noon. By evening, everyone was complaining.

Several male colleagues didn't even eat anything that night, and several female colleagues couldn't stand it anymore. They picked up some seashells, put them in the fire to roast, and after they were cooked, they put them in their mouths, sucked on them, and then ate them.

But these seashells aren't enough to fill you up.

In addition, we've been eating soup and broth every day lately. Thinking back to the days when we could eat meat and bird eggs at that camp, it's been a really tense time.

And whenever I think about this, I get a little worried about DouDing and DouDing's mother.

The scene was chaotic, and we forgot where the two little monkeys had gone.

Looking back now, I was really worried. If they had really lost their lives in this wildfire, it would have been because I hadn't taken good care of them.

Xiao Qiang mentioned it to me before, and her eyes were red when she brought it up.

They also said that DouDing and DouDing's mother could help us pick some fruit. Life was much more comfortable back then than it is now. Although we are much more experienced now, without that camp that we worked so hard to build, we are all like stray dogs.

Wang Xiaoxiao has been feeling much better these past two days, but she's gotten tired of eating fish soup. She only eats a couple of bites each day before claiming she can't eat anymore. I've tried making her grilled fish in various ways, but no matter how carefully you grill it, it's still just fish.

There's no kind of food that you can't accept eating for a long time.

Seeing their female colleagues gradually become pale and thin, the male colleagues all felt terrible.

That evening, I called Wang Ping, Chen Jian, and Bai Wei, and the group of them discussed and decided to make some animal traps.

That day, the middle-aged man who was with Xiao He was right. If the forest was burned down and destroyed by wildfire, then it was impossible for all the animals to have perished in the fire. They must have had places to hide, and they have already hidden themselves away.

I remember that place, which had two extreme weather conditions compared to ours. There might still be grass there now.

Then we could go to that place and make some animal traps, then wait for them to come to us. Whatever it is, as long as it's not fish, we could catch some, have a meal, and just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Wang Ping nodded after hearing this, but then sighed.

"That sounds good, but Xiao He and the others just left. Nobody knows if they've really gone far. If we leave the camp, it'll be too empty. I'm afraid if they come back with a vengeance, the people in the camp won't be able to handle it!"

"And that bastard Lin Xubo went with us. He knows a lot about what's going on here. What if Lin Xubo comes up with some bad ideas? Won't our camp be left empty? I don't think the situation will be easy to control."

Chen Jian nodded solemnly after hearing Wang Ping's words.

"So I think even if we go, Brother Sihai should stay here and keep watch. Then Brother Wang Ping and I will go, and Boss Bai can come along too. We'll also bring two male colleagues who are quick and efficient. Although we don't have those two big axes, we still have machetes!"

"Brother Wang Ping has straightened that dull machete again. Although it's not as sharp as it used to be, it should still be usable. We can also make a few more animal traps and dig a few more trap holes. If all else fails, I think we can try waiting for prey, like Brother Sihai suggested. We can give it a try!"

Wang Ping nodded in agreement after hearing Chen Jian's words.

But the thought of them going out alone made me uneasy.

After all, the situation in the woods is already quite complicated. Xiao He and the others have left and we really don't know where they went. If they are really hiding in the shadows, observing our movements at any time, then it is obviously not safe for Chen Jian and the others to go out alone.

Bai Wei coughed and said, "I have a suggestion. I think it would be better if I led the other male colleagues this time. Anyway, I'm not really of any use here, and I can't be a leader. I'll take the foreigners with me, and the rest of the male colleagues can stay here. I can learn some foreign languages, so I can communicate with them, albeit haltingly. If we can find the beast, we'll come back immediately. If we can't find it, we should be back within four or five days. Besides, I've been to that strange place when we were looking for medicine for Miracle before, so I remember the way."

Wang Ping was stunned by Bai Wei's words, and was very puzzled.

Bai Wei felt a little embarrassed by Wang Ping's stare and coughed, "What's wrong? What are you looking at? I'm not joking with you. I just think you guys are right. Besides, I can't just stay here and be supported by you guys. I remember Zhao Sihai said that if you want to live, you have to work hard. It's not easy to be looked down upon! I don't want to eat a piece of meat and then be glared at by you guys."

Upon hearing Bai Wei's words, Chen Jian burst into laughter. Looking at Bai Wei, he said breathlessly, "Brother Bai, you're really something. Although Brother Sihai said that before, when have I ever let you go hungry?"

Bai Wei disagreed, insisting that he already had plans. This time, in addition to bringing some animal traps, they would also gather some vines, and it would be even better if they could collect some other things.

After all, the weather there is completely different from ours. It might be so cold here, but the fruit there has already started to ripen. If we could find some fruit to bring back at this time, it would be a good choice.

I watched Bai Wei speak very seriously, and after thinking about it for a long time, I finally nodded.

Since Bai Wei wants to do this, let him try. Anyway, he's with these foreigners, who are all tall and strong, and they even have some small daggers. If they really encounter something, given Bai Wei's cowardly nature, he shouldn't have any problem surviving.

Moreover, Wang Ping and Chen Jian have other uses for me.

I looked at Bai Wei and nodded solemnly: "Alright, since you want to go, this matter is entrusted to you. Everyone's hopes are pinned on you, but you must always remember that no matter what happens, staying alive is the most important thing."

As I finished speaking, I took the gun out of my pocket and handed it to Bai Wei. Bai Wei was taken aback at first, but then immediately waved his hand in refusal.

"Zhao Sihai, what do you mean by this? Do you think I'm here to take credit with you? I just felt sorry for those two kids, it has nothing to do with you."

I insisted on putting the gun into Bai Wei's hand: "I know what you mean, but I'll feel more at ease if you keep this gun with you. Otherwise, if you really die, I'll feel guilty when we think about how you died for us. But I've already given you the gun. If you really die, then it has nothing to do with us. This is just to find some peace of mind for myself."

After listening to me for a while, Bai Wei stared at me blankly for a moment, then did not refuse again and accepted the gun.
