I looked at Chen Jian, but my mind was still replaying the scenes I had just seen in my dream.

Chen Jian frowned and patted me twice: "Brother Sihai, let's go! It's only just getting light. Let's get away from this place while it's still light out, and then we'll have to come back when it gets dark. After all, this place isn't safe. Who knows if we'll run into those Utas tribe people?"

"Xiao Qiang and the others have already prepared the food, so let's not delay any longer!"

"Oh, I, I'll get up right away."

I was stunned for a moment, then touched my forehead and realized that I was covered in cold sweat.

Chen Jian quickly pulled me up. Xiao Qiang and the others had already woken up and were preparing food.

After the Bunois tribe left, the hunting task was left to us. However, since Wang Ping, Chen Jian, and I were going out today, the hunting task had to be left to Bai Wei and the others.

However, Bai Wei had little experience, and those foreign gentlemen were all afraid of death. The situation outside was unclear, and no one dared to risk their lives. So, getting food was a problem at the moment.

Wang Ping and Chen Jian had already gone out to search early in the morning, but in the end they only caught two rabbits, which would be their food for the day.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiang and her group recently learned from the female natives of the Bunois tribe how to extract a thick paste from tree trunks. When heated, it solidifies and becomes soft and chewy, which can serve as a staple food, so they won't go hungry. It's just a bit strange.

We took the dried rabbit meat that Xiao Qiang and the others had roasted the night before, along with some fresh water, and left the camp with our guns.

Before leaving, I repeatedly told Bai Wei and the others to guard this place well.

After all, now that we've left, the safety of this campsite is even less guaranteed.

Bai Wei nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, even if I die, I will definitely die before them!"

I glared at Bai Wei and said, "Don't say such discouraging things. You all have to live and wait for us to come back!"

After leaving the underground camp, we walked through the woods, blindly searching for a place to set up camp.

But the image of that uniquely advantageous campsite that I had seen in my dream kept replaying in my mind.

Wang Ping and Chen Jian walked beside me, constantly alert to any movement around them. We were terrified at the slightest disturbance.

Fortunately, after walking for three or four hours, we haven't noticed anything strange.

"Let's take a break. This place should be quite safe. There aren't any lynxes around. We've walked quite a distance. Let's eat something to replenish our energy before we go on."

Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what I said and sat down against a tree trunk.

"Sigh! This deserted island is just too big. I really don't know where is safe. After the last wildfire, this forest was severely damaged. Now the grass can't grow. The herbivores don't come out, and the carnivores have disappeared. Moreover, if we want to find a new campsite, we need a water source. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to rely on seawater distillation."

Chen Jian nodded as he munched on some rabbit jerky.

"That's right, but we still need to find a place to stand firm first."

As I listened to their casual conversation, I also frowned and stared at the clouds in the sky, unsure of what to do next.

If you search aimlessly without a target, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but you may not even be able to achieve your desired result in the end.

But if we don't go out and search like this, what other methods are there?

"Hey, we haven't been back for so long, my watch has stopped and the battery is dead. It's driving me crazy. I don't even know the exact time anymore. Bai Wei's watch is broken too, and it looks like it got wet. Being stranded in this godforsaken place, it's really hard to take it anymore."

While grumbling, Chen Jian carefully slipped his watch into his pocket.

Suddenly, I remembered the pocket watch-shaped clock we found in the woods that day that could shrink. When I took it out, I found that it could actually tell the time after it shrank, but no one knew how accurate it was.

However, after we studied it, we all agreed that the table should be accurate.

Based on the current degree of the sun's setting, it should be a little after 1 p.m., and the hands of this clock are also around 1 p.m., so the error should not be too large.

I kept examining that watch. This thing could grow bigger and smaller, and I even ate the strange water droplets that the watch's name conjured. It was a really strange thing.

However, Wang Ping never liked this thing and kept trying to persuade me to throw it away.

But I always felt that this thing was destined for me.

I fiddled with this watch, my mind a jumbled mess.

Wang Ping also ate something, and after replenishing his fluids and food, we continued on our way.

Just as I was about to put the watch back in my pocket, I suddenly noticed that the hands of the watch had moved. They moved very quickly, very rapidly, and then suddenly stopped, pointing due north.

Wang Ping and Chen Jian hurried forward, still holding their guns, because it was getting dark soon and they had to get back to camp before the sun completely set.

I shifted my body slightly, but the pointer still pointed due north, which made me even more confused.

Could this clock possibly have the potential to function as a compass?

In other words, he was actually a compass?

Wang Ping had taken several steps when he saw that I hadn't moved. Suddenly, he turned around and called out to me, "Sihai, what are you doing? Hurry up and move along!"

"Wang Ping, come here, look at this watch, it's very strange!"

I quickly walked over to Wang Ping and Chen Jian and handed them the watch.

Wang Ping glanced at it but didn't notice anything amiss. Chen Jian, however, glanced at it and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, it was a little past one a.m. a moment ago, but now it's past nine? Is this thing broken?"

I shook my head and told Chen Jian and Wang Ping what I had in mind.

After listening to this, both Wang Ping and Chen Jian's expressions turned somewhat grim.

"You mean this thing can point directions? And what direction does it point to?"

I shook my head, because I didn't understand what direction he was pointing in either. But a premonition suddenly welled up in my heart, and a voice in my mind kept urging me to go quickly.

I hesitated for a moment, but still looked at Wang Ping and Chen Jian.

"I want to walk in this direction; perhaps something is waiting for me where this pointer is pointing."

Chen Jian grinned upon hearing this, but didn't say anything.

Wang Ping sighed, looked at the setting sun again, and gritted his teeth.

"In that case, let's go and take a look quickly. If there's nothing there, then let's go and come back quickly!"
