I ignored her teasing expression and continued, "The weapons and energy I carry are coveted by those we know and those we don't know on this island. We must be fully prepared to prevent our opponents from launching surprise attacks and surrounding us. Two fists cannot defeat four hands, and one person cannot divide his attention. I can ensure my own safety, but I cannot completely guarantee the safety of my entire team. We must constantly forge ahead and gain new strength to continue living here and wait for the day when we can escape this deserted island. At the same time, we must expand our influence and win over the hearts and minds of the people. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qin Lan's look of sudden enlightenment caught my eye, and I actually thought she was extremely cute at that moment. I couldn't help but reach out and stroke the soft hair on her head.
"What are you doing! Chen Fei! Take your chicken claws away and stay away from me! OK???" Perhaps a tiger's whiskers cannot be touched, a tiger's butt cannot be patted, and a tiger's fur naturally cannot be smoothed.
"Qin Lan, the scenery is beautiful today, and you look great." I blurted out my thoughts without realizing it, and the situation felt a bit awkward. After yesterday's confrontation with Da Fei and the others, I felt it was a bit inappropriate to say this at this moment. Today was clearly not the time for romance. Even more obvious was that Qin Lan was no longer the young woman who had just survived a disaster yesterday, and discussing this at this moment was clearly out of character for her.
"Fade Chen, when did you become so slow and fussy? Are you still a man? What are you talking about the weather? Come back with me and discuss the next course of action with Brother Dafei and the others." After saying that, he grabbed my arm and walked away without waiting for me to react. Well, it's true that women are fickle and gentleness only lasts three seconds. I, Fade Chen, have completely understood this.
The morning light is dim, and I hope that the changes here can come more slowly, so that I can savor the gentleness in it.
After careful discussion, Da Fei reluctantly agreed to our move. After all, we were all trapped together at this point, each holding equal prestige. A mutual loss would only result in one side profiting. Our next destination—located in the northeastern part of the island—is full of allure and longing. Whether it's because I've gained immense power or something else entirely, I've always enjoyed challenging the unknown and new challenges. It would be fantastic if I could truly add some fresh blood to our team during this operation.
Next, we worked with Da Fei and his group to pack our bags. It was just some dry food and water, enough to last us a few days. Besides, there would surely be plenty of wild animals, insects, fish, and other creatures along the way. After spending so much time here training our willpower, they would surely know how to hunt and consume them, and using them to satisfy our appetites wouldn't be considered an insult to their existence.
In just one day, we embarked on a long journey with no way back. But I firmly believe that there will always be light waiting for us ahead.
It was truly astonishing that such a small island could have four distinct seasons like the mainland, with each region even clearly demarcated. The fact that the same island could experience spring, summer, autumn, and winter simultaneously truly amazed me. At this moment, the northeastern part of the island was experiencing a bitterly cold winter, with heavy snow falling in a blanket of enchanting snow.
Looking at Qin Lan, who was wrapped in a thick coat beside me, I felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. Some people, just by being by your side, just by looking at them, are beautiful enough.
