Xiao Qiang's words weren't without merit, but I've known for a long time that these foreigners are born optimists.

And the reason they are so happy now is because they must have brought a lot of food and supplies in the ship's hold.

The problem is, how many days can they eat all that food? We're bound to have a conflict sooner or later.

I turned to look at Wang Xiaoxiao and the others, their expressions serious.

"The next few days may be tough. I will replenish all the food in our cave before they realize the danger. If it really comes down to war, as long as we have food, we'll be fine."

Wang Xiaoxiao and the others have been in a bad mood ever since these foreigners arrived on the island. I reassured them that I would absolutely guarantee their safety no matter what.

I can't sleep anymore; the noise down the mountain is so loud it's giving me a headache.

More than an hour later, their revelry finally came to an end, and they all returned to their cabins, presumably to go to sleep.

At that moment, I pulled Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Wei down the mountain to pick some more apples.

More importantly, we collect more seashells and kelp. If the seashell meat can be dried, it can be eaten for a long time.

However, Xiao Qiang's legs were still not very agile, so I left Liu Jiaojiao and the two of them in the cave, and also left her a gun.

Xiao Qiang looked worried and told me to hurry back. I nodded and led Xu Wei and the others down the mountain.

When they got down the mountain, they found that Bai Wei and his group were also awake. Chen Jian and Wang Ping were sitting on the deck, and their faces looked very bad.

When the two of them saw me come down with Xu Wei and Wang Xiaoxiao, their eyes lit up.

But Wang Ping quickly and subconsciously glanced at the group of Americans' ship and sighed.

Chen Jian leaned over to me and sighed, "Brother Sihai, I think these Americans really have no worries. They're singing and dancing in the middle of the night, it's really disturbing everyone's peace."

Xu Wei nodded in agreement with Chen Jian's words: "That's right, we heard it all in the cave, it was so noisy."

I knew, of course, that Chen Jian and the others, besides disliking these Americans for staying up all night and causing trouble, were also worried about the Americans constantly appearing by the sea. Now that the three of us were living in the same place, their situation would only get worse.

After all, Bai Wei's group was the weakest of the three.

Although there were many of them, apart from Wang Ping and Chen Jian who were relatively capable of taking care of themselves, the others struggled to even find food.

Although Bai Wei has become much more low-key during this period, he still feels deep down that he should stay in the cabin and be waited on by others, so he still occasionally acts bossy towards others.

However, Lin Xubo has been quite quiet these past two days; who knows what kind of mischief he's up to now.

However, what I'm most worried about right now isn't Bai Wei and his group.

After all, we are respectful and cautious when there is no danger, but now that the Americans have suddenly appeared here, we can only be allies, otherwise we will only suffer losses.

Originally, we didn't plan to take Bai Wei and the others with us to find food.

But in the current situation, food is the strongest support. We must ensure that we have enough food before we can have the confidence to challenge and fight against these Americans.

So I thought for a moment and looked at Wang Ping: "Go and take a few women and other male colleagues, and leave only one person to watch the boat. After all, the Americans have been partying so late, they must be tired. Let's go and come back quickly, and find more food to stock up."

Wang Ping had long ago developed a great interest in the short-winged birds we kept on the mountain and the jicama we ate.

In addition, we have fresh apples to eat every day, which is something that Bai Wei and his group are very envious of.

However, I never intended to tell Bai Wei and the others about the apple orchard I discovered. But now that things have changed, this apple orchard may not belong to me alone in the near future, so I might as well do them a favor.

Wang Ping immediately became excited, nodded quickly, and turned around to run back to the cabin.

A short while later, we heard rustling footsteps coming from inside the cabin. Even Bai Wei came out with the burlap sacks we had brought from inside the cabin.

I quietly counted the number of people and then realized that Lin Xubo was not in the crowd.

Wang Ping looked at me and sighed: "Lin Xubo said he had a headache, so Bai Zong and I discussed letting him stay. Besides, he's a lazy bum, so even if we take him with us, he probably won't be of any use and will only be a burden. I think we should leave before it gets too bright."

I nodded, and that's exactly what I meant.

If Lin Xubo doesn't want to go, that's fine. Anyway, I've already left guns for Xiao Qiang and the others, so I doubt Lin Xubo would dare to force his way in.

Moreover, there's still a group of Americans keeping him at bay on the beach. Lin Xubo, are you that timid? He probably wouldn't even dare to leave the cabin.

So I had no more worries and led Bai Wei and the others all the way to the apple orchard behind.

Bai Wei and his colleagues were overjoyed to see the apple orchard. Several female colleagues were so excited they almost cried. They rushed to the trees to grab apples and stuffed them into their mouths without even washing them.

These young white-collar workers would never even look at apples, which are very common fruits in the city.

But who could have imagined that one day, after being stranded on a deserted island, these green and red apples would become a rare commodity?

We don't usually lack fruit, so while they were still eating apples, Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Wei quickly started picking out the big, red, and ripe fruits and putting them into the basket we had brought with us.

We brought a total of seven or eight baskets this time, two of which were particularly large and were used to hold firewood.

I used them all to store apples. Xu Wei said that even if we couldn't finish all these apples when we got back, we should dry them into apple jerky and keep them.

Furthermore, some green apples can be kept to make cider; in short, every part of the apple is valuable.

By the time we had filled all the baskets and were resting, Bai Wei and the others had finally eaten their fill of apples.

That's when I remembered I needed to pack those apples.

Chen Jian and Wang Ping nimbly climbed the tree, while Bai Wei and his group led a group of people to collect the rubble on the ground. Everyone was busy, making the scene much more lively.
