Chapter 360: A Boost of Morale

The food that Bai Wei and his team brought back was like a shot in the arm. Although everyone looked exhausted and disheveled, Bai Wei had really done a great job this time.

Wang Ping and the others excitedly surrounded Bai Wei, pressing him for details about what had happened in the past few days, why they had been delayed for so long, and where they had found the food.

Bai Wei looked at me, panting, his neck still held high, as proud as a swan.

"Oh dear, I'm so thirsty! Is there any water? Please give me a sip before I can talk to you."

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Bai Wei's smug look. But this time it really was true. Without Bai Wei and his friends' adventure, our lives wouldn't have improved so much.

So he quickly pulled Bai Wei and the others to the edge of the camp.

Xiao Qiang and the others had stored up a lot of distilled water in the past two days. When they saw Bai Wei and the others return, they immediately washed the pot clean and then boiled the water.

Bai Wei took a deep sip of hot water before taking a long breath.

It was only then that I noticed that Bai Wei had a long wound on his leg.

I immediately turned to Chen Jian and said, "Go and get one of those strange stones that Xiao He and the others found earlier."

Fortunately, it was already dark. Chen Jian immediately took the stone and placed it on Bai Wei's leg. Before long, his wound indeed healed once again.

We couldn't help but marvel at how amazing this so-called ice-melting stone really was!

Bai Wei's leg injury was gone, and his mental state was much better than before. He told us that they had been heading in that direction since the first day they went out.

However, when they arrived nearby, they found that although the forest had not been burned, the air there had already turned like autumn. But having found the place, they had at least taken a step forward.

Bai Wei and his team rested there that night, and the next day they began a large-scale search for all the food available nearby.

However, they had very little success on the first day.

They found a few rabbits, and since they were so hungry, they quickly cleaned them up and ate them.

Bai Wei was constantly thinking about how we would worry if he didn't come back, so he led everyone on a non-stop mission.

Bai Wei had been the CEO of the company for many years, so he was quite efficient at mobilizing people.

In addition, Li Peng translated for these foreigners in a foreign language and followed Bai Wei's orders like a soldier. They worked hard and finally found an orchard on the third day.

There were quite a few wild goats in the orchard, but because there were so few of them, they only brought back four.

And all four of them were dead.

Bai Wei said that it was probably impossible to drive the living ones out, because the wild goats were all trembling when they were driven into the woods here, and one goat even fainted from fright.

Later, Bai Wei guessed that these wild goats might not have come from our cold climate, so they had no choice but to kill all the goats and bring them back.

As for the fruit, Bai Wei and his companions carefully selected the freshest ones from the orchard.

Bai Wei whispered to me, "At the time, I was afraid that the fruit was poisonous. After all, we brought it back to eat, so I didn't stop those foreigners from eating it. They've been lively and energetic these past two days, so I think the fruit is safe to eat."

Looking at Bai Wei's sly appearance, I couldn't help but laugh, but I was truly grateful to him from the bottom of my heart.

"President Bai, I've actually been prejudiced against you for a long time. After all, you were quite arrogant back in the company. But since we came to this deserted island, we've been through so much, even life and death together. We've become sworn brothers. If you think I'm someone you can befriend, then call me brother. You'll be my elder brother from now on. Let's get along well and work together to leave this hellish place sooner or later."

Bai Wei nodded after hearing what I said: "Don't worry, I stopped arguing with you a long time ago. Besides, you have been helping everyone since we arrived here. I'm not heartless, so I won't cause you any more trouble. Just consider it as a matter of life and death for us."

Chen Jian was already clamoring to deal with the sheep; everyone was getting nauseous and their mouths were sour from eating so much fish lately.

Seeing that the sheep looked just like wolves, Wang Ping rushed over to help. With everyone working together, they finished off the sheep in just over ten minutes.

Chen Jian sprinkled some salt on the sheep and then put it on the campfire.

Wang Xiaoxiao and the others had already heard about Bai Wei's return and were very excited. Xiao Qiang was especially busy cleaning the iron pot, preparing to make some soup.

After all, Bai Wei and his men had been living in the open for the past few days, so they should eat something hot first before eating this greasy meat.

Bai Wei didn't seem to care. He licked his lips and said that he had been really craving food these past two days, but when he thought about how everyone was still here, he couldn't bring himself to eat if he was hungry.

More than two hours later, the wild goat was finally roasted. Everyone took small knives and sliced ​​the meat into pieces, sprinkled it with fine sea salt, and ate with smiles on their faces.

Chen Jian kept flattering Bai Wei, saying that Bai Wei was really capable, and that he would let Bai Wei go find food again next time.

Having tasted success this time, and with Chen Jian's flattery, Bai Wei nodded repeatedly, saying that he had gained a lot of experience this time and would be able to get more next time.

Then he told me that we should make more carts so that we could bring back more things.

Of course I know that the things I lost at the camp were a real pain in my heart, and if I have the chance and the time, I must get them all back.

But when I think of the previous camp, I still feel like I want to go back and take another look. I always feel like there might still be something left in that camp.

At least those things we put at the bottom of the cave back then, they couldn't have really been burned away, could they?

However, we can only talk about these things tomorrow morning. Tonight, everyone is obviously very excited, singing and dancing.

After suppressing my feelings for so long, I can finally relax a bit.

Wang Ping leaned against a rock, holding two pieces of mutton in his hand. He tore into them while watching everyone, chuckling to himself. After laughing, he sighed, "I used to think that working was tiring, but now I realize that I'm lucky to be alive. If I could choose again, I would rather go back to the city and work a nine-to-five job every day than stay in this godforsaken place, where we're neither human nor ghost, and we have to go through so much trouble just to get something to eat."
