Yang Rui's plan was actually quite good, but at the beginning, I also planned to leave 008 here.

Now that Yang Rui has said this, I feel even more strongly that this is the best solution at the moment.

After hearing Yang Rui's words, Wang Ping immediately nodded excitedly.

“I think his plan is pretty good. Let’s leave Chen Jian and 008 behind, and then leave three robots behind. That way, the camp will be impregnable. Then you and I will take Bai Wei, along with two quick-moving robots and the remaining four robots. That way, our chances of success in rescuing Mu Cuo will be much higher.”

After Wang Ping finished speaking, he leaned closer to me and whispered, "Our camp is our reserve force. We must ensure its safety, otherwise we won't even have a way out."

I nodded. If that's the case, then let's decide on this.

Many things have been prepared in the camp. In the past two days, Wang Ping, Chen Jian, and I have taken out a lot of supplies from that small iron gate.

First came some medicine, then some bedding.

Everyone's clothes were already tattered, so we found a lot more clothes through the small iron gate.

However, it's impossible to fix the size of these clothes before taking them out.

Fortunately, after Wang Xiaoxiao and the others trimmed and adjusted the clothes, they all fit quite well.

After being separated from Mu Cuo and the others for so long, our camp has undergone a great transformation when we meet again.

Not only have our weapons and equipment become more advanced, but even our tattered clothes have been completely replaced with new ones.

The food options were much more plentiful; fruits, meats—anything you could want could be obtained inside the iron gate.

I was initially worried that the discovery of the small iron gate might cause dissent, but I later realized that these people are much more well-behaved now than when they were first stranded on the deserted island.

They never asked where our food or clothes came from. Whenever they received new food and fruit, they were overjoyed but never asked any questions.

That makes sense. So many terrible things have happened on this isolated island; it's a blessing that they've survived. What good would it do them to know too much?

So a few of us started taking out the fresh equipment without any restraint.

Just a couple of days ago, Wang Xiaoxiao suggested that we get some more communication equipment.

After all, this deserted island is so large that without communication equipment, we could easily get lost, which would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But once we have communication equipment, we can contact each other no matter how far apart we are, and we will have a better understanding of each other's situation.

Wang Ping and I went to the small iron gate twice, but we were unsuccessful.

Perhaps it's because there aren't any high-tech devices like cell towers on this deserted island, so it's impossible to imagine them.

It's also possible that our cultivation level is not high enough, so we are unable to imagine such complex equipment.

This matter will have to be postponed...

In the evening, we ate rice and stewed potatoes with short-legged birds, which tasted quite delicious. Even Mu Cuo, who usually doesn't eat much, ate several bowls of rice in the evening.

Seeing Mu Cuo's condition, Xiao Qiang perhaps felt sorry for her and poured her a glass of wine that they had brewed themselves from fruit.

Mu Cuo nervously accepted the water cup, his face full of gratitude.

After we finished eating, I asked Mu Cuo and the others where their camp was.

According to Mu Cuo's description, this camp is due north of us, about ten miles away.

Their camp was considered the best because it was easily defensible and difficult to attack, and also because it was designed by their mother, and many of the things and equipment in the camp were made by her during her lifetime, so it was revered as a deity by their people.

If the Ertas tribe hadn't relentlessly pursued them, they would never have ended up in that place.

Now that place has been destroyed, Mu Cuo doesn't know whether the remaining tribesmen are dead or alive, so she seems extremely anxious.

I patted Mucuo on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we're ready to go with you to the rescue. Get a good rest tonight and take care of yourself. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

Mu Cuo was deeply moved. She looked at me with red eyes and said, "Brother Sihai, I really didn't expect that you would actually help me. In fact, when I came to ask for help, I didn't have any hope at all. Now it seems that meeting you is a blessing from God."

I told Mu Cuo not to get too excited. Actually, I've always wanted to tell her something: after helping her this time, we'll go our separate ways.

After all, I don't want to have too much to do with them.

I didn't say these words out loud, for fear that Mu Cuo would overthink it.

After a short rest that night, we packed our gear and prepared to set off before dawn the next day.

The four robots that followed me had all been arranged by 008, and since these robots had already chosen their master, I felt very safe with them by my side.

I equipped Bai Wei and the two other male colleagues beside him with bulletproof vests and guns.

For safety reasons, all our guns are kept inexhaustible.

This saved us a lot of trouble.

Wang Ping took Mu Cuo with him in the morning and set off according to Mu Cuo's directions. But when we arrived at the campsite that Mu Cuo had indicated, we found that the surroundings were quiet and there was no movement at all.

The camp that Mu Cuo pointed to had indeed been destroyed; the fire was still burning around it and the place was a mess.

Mu Cuo completely broke down, rushing forward like a madman, crying and howling in their tribe's unique language that we couldn't understand.

Wang Ping stood next to me, holding a gun. Seeing Mu Cuo's loss of composure, his expression turned somewhat sympathetic.

"Sihai, judging from this situation, it seems their entire clan has been killed. If that's the case, things are in trouble. Will she ask us to avenge her?"

I shook my head, telling Wang Ping not to think about these things for now.

The death of one's entire family and clan overnight is something no one can accept, let alone Mu Cuo, who is just a young girl.

Wang Ping and Bai Wei also fell silent, while the robots following behind them stood faithfully beside me.

Mu Cuo was still standing in front of the pile of ruins, wailing loudly. Just then, the robot that had been standing behind me closest to me suddenly walked to my side and mechanically said, "Master, we have sensed a living being moving around us. May we kill it?"

The robot's tone of voice was so cold and mechanical that I didn't react for a moment.

As I turned to ask him what he had just said, a loud bang suddenly came from beside me, my vision went black, and I fell to the ground...
