With the treehouse, I was finally able to get a good night's sleep. The next morning, after a simple breakfast, I started to plan what to do next.

No one knows how big the island is. When the ship sank, everyone who came out with it was swept into the waves. Those who survived must have made it to shore.

So tonight I'm going to go find some other people.

Lin Xubo ate the pork with his mouth full of oil.

“We finally managed to set up this camp. If we all leave and those beasts destroy it, we won’t even have a place to stay for the night. So I’ll stay here and guard the camp. You guys go find them.”

Xiao Qiang snorted coldly upon hearing Lin Xubo's words.

"With your character, how could you possibly keep an eye on the camp?"

Lin Xubo wiped his mouth: "What, if I can't keep an eye on you, you'll have to stay and keep me company?"

While speaking, his eyes kept wandering to Xiao Qiang's low-cut t-shirt.

“I think we should stay together, so that if we encounter any danger, we can look out for each other.”

Xu Wei glanced at us quietly and offered her opinion.

That's what I think too; after all, more people mean more strength.

Besides, I'm not really comfortable letting that idiot Lin Xubo guard this place.

"Xu Wei is right, let's eat quickly, and then we'll go to the beach together to look for it."

The two women had no objections.

Even if Lin Xubo has opinions, he doesn't dare to express them casually now.

After finishing the roasted wild boar meat, I filled my thermos with water and headed towards the beach.

The island stretched as far as the eye could see. Although we had been stranded here for several days, none of us knew what the surrounding area was like.

We don't even know if the rest of the people are alive or dead. If we just keep searching like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, we'll only be wasting time and energy.

Lin Xubo followed behind me with a sigh, and I found him increasingly unpleasant to look at.

"Go and collect some more branches, and we'll make some marks."

Lin Xubo was being directed by me, and his expression was quite unpleasant.

But now he knows that he still needs me to survive, so he can only mutter to himself as he turns and goes into the woods.

The wind blowing from the seaside is hot.

Xiao Qiang's lips were chapped and peeling; she was nowhere near the glamorous, wealthy woman she used to be at the company.

Xu Wei was even worse off than Xiao Qiang; her delicate face was deathly pale, and she had to pant after taking just a few steps.

Lin Xubo quickly found some tree branches.

I planted one of the branches firmly into the sand, made it stand upright, and then planted the others.

Xu Wei looked at it with some curiosity: "What is this for?"

"You're silly. Isn't he marking the spot? If there are other people, they'll know there are still living companions when they see this branch, and that way they'll be able to find us."

After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, she gave me a smug look.

"Xiao, you're such a beautiful and charming woman, no wonder the boss likes you so much."

Lin Xubo tried to flatter Xiao Qiang by moving closer to her, but he ended up making a fool of himself.

Xiao Qiang hates it when people talk about her relationship with her boss.

He immediately raised his eyebrows and spat at Lin Xubo.

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up and get lost! Just looking at you makes me sick."

If this were in the company, Lin Xubo would probably have changed his expression long ago, but at this moment, he was quite tactful.

He wasn't angry after hearing Xiao Qiang's words. He turned around, took the branch from me, and followed my example, sticking one out every ten meters or so.

For the entire morning, we searched the island for our surviving colleagues while sticking branches into the ground.

However, nothing was gained.

The water in the thermos has been shared and drunk clean.

If we keep going, we probably won't find anything.

My legs ached from exhaustion, so I collapsed on the beach, looking at the vast, boundless sea, feeling suffocated.

Xu Wei sat down next to me and sighed softly, "Brother Zhao, what if we can't find them?"

I fucking have no idea what to do.

But he couldn't say these angry words to Xu Wei and the others.

After resting for a while, I forced myself to get up and continue walking forward.

After walking for most of the day, everyone was exhausted.

But I was still unwilling to give up, so I walked forward for a few more kilometers.

Xiao Qiang, who was following behind me, couldn't take it anymore and took a few steps to block my way.

"I think we should go back first. It's getting dark soon, and if we don't go back now, we won't be able to leave after dark."

I was exhausted, and I didn't know when this would end, so I nodded.

On the way back, we passed a small grove of trees, and upon closer inspection, we found that the trees were covered with many red fruits.

Although the four of us could eat that wild boar for a while, we couldn't do without vitamins. If we got septicemia, we'd be done for.

"Take off your clothes!"

Lin Xubo looked at me, his fat face jiggling: "Zhao Si, don't push your luck! This is all the clothes I have! You're not without clothes! Why do you want my clothes! I'm not taking them off!"

That's why Lin Xubo is such a scoundrel; he's treating me like him, trying to seize things by force.

"Don't flatter yourself. I wouldn't even want your tattered clothes if they were given to me for free! Hurry up and take them off, pick some fruit to take back with you."

Lin Xubo stubbornly refused to comply.

I stepped forward and raised my fist. Only then did his eyes flicker, and he reluctantly took off his clothes.

She kept muttering to herself, "What if the fruit stains these clothes? This outfit cost me a lot of money, it's a designer brand!"

"What good is spending more money? If you can't get out, all your wealth will have to change hands! Why are you still thinking about these tattered clothes?"

Xiao Qiang's words were harsh, but her remarks to Lin Xubo made me feel quite comfortable.

He pulled off his black t-shirt and was about to walk towards the grove when, after only a few steps, he suddenly noticed footprints in the sand, deeply sunken, making it impossible to tell if they were human.

The congealed bloodstains had formed clumps on the sand, and the dripping blood seemed to extend all the way into the woods.

Upon seeing this, Xu Wei quickly tugged at my arm and exclaimed in a low voice, "There's blood here. Isn't it unsafe inside?"

I examined the bloodstains carefully and was secretly delighted.

The blood was plentiful and the clots were large at first, but the amount decreased as you went further in, indicating that hemostasis measures must have been taken.

However, it wasn't very useful.

There are many wild animals here, but how can animals stop bleeding?

Then it must be a person!

"You two stay here. If there's any danger, go into the sea to hide. We'll go in and check."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xubo quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I'll keep an eye on them. If there's any danger, I can protect them!"

Thinking back to the night before last when this grandson almost killed Xiao Qiang while holding a wolf cub, I simply cannot believe him.

Without saying a word, she dragged him into the woods.
