"Well...it's okay, it's okay...this doesn't mean anything..."
After a moment of silence, Lu Xuan, as the team leader and the only man here, was the first to speak.
He even turned on the flashlight he carried with him in order to give the girls some courage and faith.
However, after shining the flashlight around, the faces of the three girls in front of him were paler than each other.
"Ahem... Think about it, wasn't this Leng Yunqiu who instigated this? He's the mastermind behind it, but it's actually these people who are doing the real work. So, what would this guy called Leng Yunqiu do? Kill people to silence them, don't you think?"
Seeing that his words didn't seem to have any comforting effect, Lu Xuan thought for a moment, then began to present the facts and reason. Even though the reason was just that, he himself couldn't completely believe it.
"What Lu Xuan said is correct. From what I know about Leng Yunqiu, he is indeed a vindictive person, and he always does things in a flawless manner... These people have done so many dirty jobs for him that are not worthy of being mentioned publicly. Given his character, it is only natural for him to kill them to silence them."
Leng Mengyao also added a sentence at this time. After all, she was the only person who knew Leng Yunqiu best here.
"So... this matter, it's most likely Leng Yunqiu who is finishing up. I think this is actually a good thing for us. Think about it... Only when Leng Yunqiu believes that his plan has succeeded will he decide to kill everyone who knows the truth. From then on, he will have no worries..."
Lu Xuan continued to add to Leng Mengyao's words.
After hearing Lu Xuan and Leng Mengyao's explanation, Shen Keyin and Yin Yichen's expressions eased a little.
"You mean, Leng Yunqiu orchestrated the deaths of those men? This... this man is too... cruel."
After a moment of silence, Shen Keyin stammered something, but her body was still shaking uncontrollably.
"Oh, I don't want to think about it anymore. No matter how rampant the demons and monsters are, I still have a long time to live. You want my life? No way! Lu Xuan, let's go home as soon as possible. This damn place is so cold and windy, it's really creepy..."
Yin Yichen simply turned a blind eye and put those disturbing thoughts behind her.
The more I think about this, the more unsettled I become. I'd better not think about it too much and just be at peace.
"That's right. Why should we bother ourselves? We're all doing just fine now. Besides, look, someone's even offering to send us a speedboat for free. We're really getting a great deal this time."
Lu Xuan continued to strike while the iron was hot and pointed specifically at the speedboat parked on the shore.
The four of them tacitly agreed not to comment on the matter. They just found a few traveler's palm leaves to cover the man's body, as a farewell to this crazy man.
Back on the beach, the three girls followed Lu Xuan onto the speedboat.
Everyone still has an unspoken expectation for this speedboat.
Compared to the previous lifeboat that required manual rowing, this gasoline-powered speedboat undoubtedly heralded a leap in speed and efficiency.
Guided by the flashlight, the four of them scanned the speedboat.
I found that this speedboat was really not big. Its length was estimated to be no more than ten meters, and its width was only about two or three meters.
For Lu Xuan, the size of the speedboat is not that important. What he cares about most at the moment is whether the speedboat can run.
So after getting on the boat, Lu Xuan went straight to the rear of the hull to check the driving method of the speedboat.
Soon I saw the outboard gasoline engine at the rear of the hull.
This speedboat seemed to have low fuel consumption, but the bad news was that when Lu Xuan tried to start the speedboat, he saw a prompt on the screen that the fuel level was low.
Lu Xuan was also convinced. He didn't know if this man was really stupid or if he was really a little crazy. It felt like he hadn't arranged any way out for himself.
"No more oil... Ouch..."
Lu Xuan sighed and told the girls the bad news.
"Then this speedboat is completely useless, just an empty shell."
Finding that her joy was in vain, Yin Yichen frowned and sat down on the cabin deck.
"Don't be discouraged. When it's daybreak, I'll go look on the yacht... maybe I can find some gasoline."
Faced with the gasoline shortage, Lu Xuan felt helpless. On this deserted island, he might still be able to find other supplies, but gasoline was simply out of reach for him.
At this moment, the only thing that could give him hope was the two ships stranded on the beach.
However, since it was still dark, Lu Xuan decided to go back to the cave and rest.
What's more, the atmosphere in his team is not good at the moment. If he goes on the yacht in the dark, who knows what kind of trouble might happen.
"Lu Xuan, there are two wooden oars lying next to us. We can take them back."
Leng Mengyao walked around the speedboat and accidentally found two wooden oars.
This wooden paddle is also a good thing. After all, this "original" wooden paddle is much better than the two bamboo paddles with thick branches and rotten leaves that I made myself.
"Yes, let's look around and see if there's anything useful. We can take it all away. It's late at night and we can't go back empty-handed."
Although I can't drive the speedboat back today, it will be worth the trip if I can find something useful on it.
The four of them searched the speedboat with the help of flashlights.
It really is true that hard work pays off. Not long after, Yin Yichen found a hoe behind the chair.
What’s funny is that this is really just a “hoe” and it doesn’t even have a handle.
"Lu Xuan, we can make a wooden handle ourselves. We can also try to plant the watermelon seeds that Yin Yichen brought last time when we get back. This hoe will come in handy."
Chen Keyin never refuses this thing. Sometimes a handy tool is better than anything else.
"Okay, take it away and take a look. If there's nothing else, we'll go back the way we came. It looks like it's going to be windy."
Lu Xuan, who was standing at the stern of the speedboat, heard the whistling sound of the wind and felt that the weather was about to change.
"I don't seem to have anything here..."
"I don't see anything useful here."
Yin Yichen and Shen Keyin checked their surroundings again and shook their heads at Lu Xuan.
"Okay, let's prepare to return..."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and got off the speedboat first.
"Lu Xuan, wait... there's a dangling drawer here, and it seems to be locked... I feel like there's something inside."
Lu Xuan had just jumped off the speedboat when Leng Mengyao, who was at the bow, seemed to have discovered something...
Lu Xuan was also impressed. This girl's ability to rummage through boxes and cabinets was truly unmatched... I wonder what good stuff she can find for him this time.
