The day after Chen Yang discovered the other team, they went to the coconut grove again, only to find that all the coconut trees were now bare.
"The competition for resources has already begun," Chen Yang said.
However, he wasn't too worried. The island's resources were more than enough to support both teams, so he didn't need to be fixated on a few coconuts.
Yesterday, their trap caught a mouse, and Li Su'er also hunted a wild duck. In addition, they found animal droppings and set traps in that area, planning to patrol it again.
This island isn't actually that challenging for them; they can focus on developing it without worrying about resources.
Chen Yang returned to the camp from the coconut grove early this morning and speared fish on the beach.
When he first entered the micro-world, he tried fishing for a while but didn't have much success. But now he's a completely different person.
His wolf-like muscle control, eagle-like eyesight and locking ability, and martial arts skills made him far stronger than when he first entered the micro-world.
While not 100% accurate, his hit rate was quite high. In one afternoon, Chen Yang caught five fish, and his hit rate kept increasing.
Doug and Li Lei really felt that Chen Yang alone could support these ten people.
This isn't survival; this is family camping.
Chen Yang's abilities are truly terrifying; in many ways, even wilderness survival experts are far inferior to him.
But Chen Yang knew in his heart that he only had his own strengths, and he was not confident that he could survive in all kinds of extreme environments.
Those survival experts can handle things like starting a fire, building a campsite, finding food, and finding water all by themselves, unlike them, who have a team with highly experienced members.
However, on the resource-rich island, Chen Yang is indeed stronger than most wilderness survival experts because he possesses two cheat-like abilities that surpass those of normal humans: wolf-like bloodline and eagle eyes.
Besides Chen Yang's fish, Li Sen also found an African hand drum on the beach today. It was quite new and probably hadn't been in the sea for long.
Jiang Yining and Li Ye spent a day weaving bamboo baskets, so Chen Yang and the others will have containers to carry supplies when they go out tomorrow.
Furthermore, Ye Wu and Hong Gui worked together to build another shed and reinforced the old one. This way, men and women could sleep separately.
Moreover, Dong Yujue had a great haul today; she hunted a sheep. This sheep is enough to feed ten people for two or three days.
"Today's harvest was pretty good. Tomorrow, Dong Yujue and Su'er should team up for a hunting trip. The rest of you can stay and build the camp. I'll try fishing again tomorrow," Chen Yang said.
Now that water and food supplies are temporarily secured, we definitely need to build and develop our camp so we can have a more comfortable stay this time.
In the evening, they grilled fish and lamb chops, and Li Sen even performed a hand drum dance for everyone, pulling Hong Gui along as they danced.
Li Lei used his satellite phone to take a picture of this scene and sent it to a supply ship several kilometers overseas. The supply ship then transmitted the photo to the company.
The company executives were completely dumbfounded when they saw this.
They didn't actually have high hopes for this competition, since their primary goal was simply publicity. So, while losing would be embarrassing, it wouldn't have a significant impact.
"Do we still need to send a second wave of equipment?" these people wondered.
Their second wave of equipment delivery was their time to advertise, claiming that the equipment could completely transform life on the deserted island.
"Let's wait and see. If we can give the other company a good slap in the face, that would be great."
Finally, their chairman spoke up, and everyone had no choice but to continue waiting for news. However, they couldn't help but wonder how this group of people had managed to do it.
And Grena was also wondering how they did it.
With a group of people who had little to no experience, Grena believed she had done a good job. She had found a water source, built a shelter, made a fire, and had been eating for the past few days, though not to her heart's content.
But when he surveyed the coastline and discovered Chen Yang's camp, he fell silent.
He saw the mutton, the well-established campsite, and smelled the aroma of grilled fish. The group even seemed to be in the mood to dance. They were full of energy and had definitely eaten their fill.
Grena didn't understand how they did it.
Actually, Grena was invited. He wasn't a special forces soldier or a survival expert, but he did have good survival skills because he was an adventurous sailor.
During his more than ten years at sea, he accumulated a wealth of knowledge.
Few sailors were as interested in wilderness survival as he was; he even successfully tried to start a fire by friction multiple times, he could recognize many edible and usable plants, and he knew what to do in the wild.
A friend of Grena's knew Grena and introduced her to the company, so Grena was invited to join.
He could recognize most of the plants on the island, he possessed a vast amount of wilderness survival knowledge, he also had leadership qualities, and most importantly, Grena met the requirements.
He has no military background, no professional outdoor background, and can only be described as a sailor who loves the outdoors.
This time, Grena came to the island with great ambition, wanting to prove himself, but what he saw completely shattered his worldview.
He had looked at the group's information before he came; they were a bunch of complete novices and greenhorns. He even wondered if they would all be wiped out in the end.
But now, they're singing, dancing, eating meat, and making a fire, having a wonderful time. Thinking about his teammates back at the camp who only dragged him down, Grena felt a surge of anger.
Just then, Grena noticed a young man in the group looking in his direction.
Grena was shocked. How could this be? He was hiding in the rocks, more than 300 meters away from the beach, and it was dark at the moment. He only had half his head showing. How could he have been discovered?
Then, the man waved in his direction.
“Hey, friend over there,” Chen Yang shouted in English.
Grena now knew for sure that he had been discovered.
He left without hesitation; he didn't want any contact right now.
Given the current situation, it's not the right time to make contact. If others saw the state of these Chinese people, they would be greatly shocked and might not even want to stay any longer.
Chen Yang smiled wryly; he just wanted to invite the other person over for a meal.
"It ran away? Chen Yang, are you sure you're not seeing things? What kind of small animal could it be?" Ye Wu said. He considered his eyesight to be excellent, but he still hadn't seen anything.
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "It's the man I saw on the beach that day, there's no mistake."
"If our camp is discovered, isn't that bad? Will they try to sabotage it?" Xu Meng asked.
“Miss, I don’t think you need to worry about that. Although they are certainly not as capable as you, we still have dignity and would not do such an immoral thing,” Doug said.
He had already received a message from the company that the backgrounds of this group of people were perfectly fine. The only slightly strange thing was that they all frequently stayed at the inn run by Chen Yang, and that was all that was strange.
He felt that his company was doomed to lose this competition, and he reported the situation to his superiors, wondering what the company would do.
