Mu Cuo and his group acted quickly, starting to pack their things that very night.

The camp didn't have much equipment to begin with, and they took almost everything with them when they left. We only left behind a large pot.

Bai Wei watched as Mu Cuo and the others left under the cover of darkness, his lips pursed in displeasure.

“Zhao Sihai, I’m telling you, you’re out of your mind. When we got involved, we offended the natives and the pirates. Now they want to leave, and you’re just going to let them go? What kind of secluded island can they find to survive on? What are we going to do? This deserted island is full of dangers now, and those pirates and the Utas tribe are probably hiding somewhere, waiting to kill us. After they all leave, we’re so few people here. Are we all just waiting to be captured and sacrificed?”

Seeing Bai Wei so agitated, I couldn't help but find it amusing, and quickly turned to comfort him.

"Forget it, things are bound to happen eventually. Even if you can keep them here now, can you keep them forever? Besides, who was it that said they felt awkward being with them? Now that they're gone, they've left us with such a large empty camp. Don't be so ungrateful."

Bai Wei pouted, looking unhappy. I was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, so I turned around and called Wang Ping and Chen Jian to discuss the next steps.

“We can’t stay here any longer. They’ve already left, so let’s rest tonight. Tomorrow I’ll take two people out to check the area. If we don’t find anything unusual or amiss, then we’ll leave this place.”

Wang Ping nodded in agreement: "The Muno tribe has already left, and the guards outside have all withdrawn. In a little while, I will arrange for a few foreigners to go out, leaving the women here to rest. Tonight, half the people will be outside and half inside. If anything unusual or amiss is discovered, we won't be wiped out."

I nodded. I felt at ease letting Wang Ping handle this matter.

In the evening, Xu Wei came over to bring us food. When she saw me, her eyes were red, and she kept her distance from me, refusing to come close.

I know that a lot has happened during this time, and she has almost lost her life several times. For a girl like Xu Wei who is already timid, it has been a lot of pressure.

I stood up, pulled Xu Wei into my arms, and walked to a quiet corner where there were few people, where I hugged her tightly.

Xu Wei nestled in my arms, not lifting her head for a long time, sobbing softly. Her thin shoulders trembled, and it pained me to see her like that, making me feel guilty.

"Brother Sihai, please don't do this again. Do you know how scared we were? This place is terrifying. Let's leave as soon as possible!"

Actually, I also want to leave this place, but the environment we are in now, including our current situation, is simply unrealistic.

I comforted Xu Wei for a while before she calmed down a bit.

"Honey, go to sleep early. You'll probably be busy from tomorrow onwards."

After all, our previous campsite was abandoned. Although Bai Wei still longed to return to the campsite by the sea and retrieve all the gold he had hidden in the cave, he was still reluctant to leave.

But after thinking it over, we still felt that keeping the gold there was the safest option.

After all, unexpected things might happen on the way back and forth, and there was just too much gold, which was heavy and laborious. Even if they were taken away, there would be nowhere to put it, so it was better to leave it there.

If we really have the chance to leave, then going back to get it won't make a difference.

If you can never leave this world, then gold and stones are no different...

That night, Wang Ping arranged for people to take turns guarding the camp, while I was arranged to sleep in the camp early in the morning.

Wang Xiaoxiao, Xiao Qiang, and several children slept in the innermost room, while the foreign women also stayed with Xiao Qiang and the others.

The remaining men lay outside taking a nap, so that we could protect them should any trouble or mishap occur.

I slept on a wolf skin, lying on the hard stone wall, but I still felt very uneasy.

Mu Cuo and Mu Ta have already left. We don't know if they have reached the forbidden area they mentioned. We can only hope that their journey will be safe and peaceful.

Tomorrow I plan to look for a place to camp. If I can't find one right away, I'll probably have to stay at this campsite for a while longer.

This involves food, which is also a troublesome matter.

As I thought about it, drowsiness gradually crept in, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I suddenly felt someone calling my name. When I opened my eyes, I found Chen Jian standing next to me, looking at me excitedly with a grin that stretched all the way to his ears.

"Brother Sihai, you're amazing! Where did you find this campsite? My goodness! This is an absolutely perfect location! It's surrounded by mountains with only this one small opening. If we're the only ones guarding this place, it'll be like one man holding off ten thousand! And look at all this open space around here, it'll be more than enough to build houses later!"

Wang Ping also approached from a distance, beaming with smiles.

Wang Ping held a lot of neatly arranged pieces of wood in his hand: "Yes, Sihai, look at all the trees around here. They're all growing so neatly. If we want to build a house again, it won't be as difficult as before. And just now we discovered a hot spring in the back, with water flowing continuously to the back mountain. There's also a lot of grass growing deep in the mountain. We can catch some wild goats to feed them. This place is simply perfect!"

I looked at Chen Jian and Wang Ping with a puzzled expression, wondering if they were joking.

When did I find such a great campsite?

But when I looked around, I found that this place was absolutely perfect.

The surrounding area is filled with towering pine mountains, and inside is a very empty open space.

If the mountaintop where we built our house before was considered spacious, then this place is ten times larger.

The pile of wood that Wang Ping pointed to was indeed neatly arranged there, while in the distance, Bai Wei and the foreigners were busy, seemingly trying to claim territory and then start afresh with a new camp.

Watching their busy figures, my doubts grew stronger.

I clearly didn't find this place, so why do they all say I did?

Just then, Xiao Qiang's voice rang out from behind: "Sihai, we have already transplanted all the herbs you arranged. Now, even if someone gets injured or has a headache or fever, these herbs can be used to treat and save lives. This saves us from having to frantically search for them in the woods. These things have really solved a big problem!"

Xiao Qiang walked over with a smile. I hadn't seen her so happy in a long time. Looking at all this strange thing around me, I was still a little confused.

Just as I was wondering how to respond to Xiao Qiang's words, I suddenly felt someone tap me. I opened my eyes and realized that I had just been dreaming...

I opened my eyes and saw Chen Jian standing next to me, still holding that gun in his hand.

"Brother Sihai, it's already daylight outside, and there's nothing wrong around us. Brother Wang Ping said we can set off now to find a new campsite!"
