Seeing Shen Keyin suddenly jump up from the ground and rush towards the beach, Lu Xuan also suddenly turned around and looked at the sea in the north.
Sure enough, on the distant sea, there was a light so faint that it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, moving slowly from west to east.
Although it was too far away and human vision alone could not tell what it was, Lu Xuan was almost certain that it was a ship, a ship sailing eastward.
"Quick, light the torch!"
Lu Xuan threw the half-eaten delicious turtle aside, picked up a dry branch on the ground, lit it directly, and began to wave it desperately towards the sea.
"We are here! We are here..."
Shen Keyin also followed Lu Xuan's example and lit a torch, then shouted at the light in the distance at the top of his lungs.
"Keyin, hurry up and find the signal gun that Leng Mengyao gave you."
After waiting for many days, he finally saw a ship passing by. Lu Xuan really didn't want to miss such an opportunity. Who knows how long it would take for the next ship to pass by this place.
"Okay, I'll get it!"
Shen Keyin didn't hesitate at all. He turned around and rushed into the cave. In the second sub-cave that was used as a storage room, he took out the signal gun he had just found from Leng Mengyao.
"Lu Xuan, give it to me!"
Before Shen Keyin ran out of the cave, he threw the signal gun to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan turned and ran towards the beach, then tried again to locate the direction of the ship.
Unfortunately, the ship seemed to have sailed out of the two people's visual range. No matter how hard Lu Xuan looked, he could no longer see that ray of light.
Lu Xuan didn't have time to think about it anymore and could only rely on the signal gun in his hand.
He fired a shot into the air in the direction where the ship was spotted.
With a whoosh, a dazzling golden flame rose up, instantly reaching a hundred meters high and lighting up half of the sky.
After a moment, the dazzling light slowly faded away, turning into countless golden spots of light, falling like drizzle, and finally merging into the sea.
The whole world seemed to fall into silence again.
Lu Xuan and Shen Keyin still stood on the beach, looking up, both hoping that the faint light that had just disappeared would appear again.
However, until the sky became completely dark, there was no more movement on the sea in the distance.
"Oh! Oops!"
At this moment, Shen Keyin suddenly slapped his head.
"It's okay. If we can see one ship, we can see the second one. This is a good thing."
Lu Xuan patted Shen Keyin's shoulders, trying to comfort her.
As a result, Shen Keyin said:
"I sent out the distress signal Mengyao gave me. She wouldn't think I was in trouble and come to save me, right?"
"Uh... this should be... okay. We probably won't need it anyway, so let's just use it..."
Lu Xuan was speechless. He originally thought that the girl was upset because she missed the boat, but it turned out to be because of this.
Lu Xuan never thought that there would be a time when he and Leng Mengyao would need to ask for help, so the signal gun was just left there. It would be better to take it out and take a chance. If it was really seen by a passing ship, maybe they would be rescued.
"Yeah, never mind, let's continue eating turtle!"
Shen Keyin was carefree and turned around to continue enjoying her delicious food.
But Leng Mengyao and others on the other side of the island actually discovered the rising flare at this moment.
"This is a signal from Ke Yin. Ke Yin must be in trouble!"
Leng Mengyao suddenly rushed out of the cave where she was.
"Oh, I'm afraid someone is in great danger. When will this damn place end..."
Yin Yichen picked the flattest piece of ground and was chewing on some compressed biscuits. Although she was tired of eating big fish and meat on weekdays, she was extremely unhappy that she could only eat this crappy stuff for three meals a day. However, she couldn't bear it, so although she had some complaints in her heart, her mouth and stomach were still quite honest.
At this moment, she also saw the sky outside suddenly flash, and then saw Yin Yichen running out in a hurry.
"Brother Wang, Ke Yin might be in danger, can you go and save her..."
Leng Mengyao immediately rushed out of the cave, but found that the flare was long gone and the sky turned pitch black again, as if nothing had happened.
Leng Mengyao was extremely anxious, but she could do nothing by herself. She could only run into the cave again and ask for help from the dozing strong man.
"Who to save? That woman? Where to save her... She chose to be with that pretty boy today. We are all adults, we should be responsible for our own actions! What do you call this? You reap what you sow!"
The burly man snorted, yawned, and continued to nap.
"Brother Wang, I can give you money. Is ten thousand yuan enough?"
Leng Mengyao took a step forward and pushed the burly man's arm desperately.
"What are you arguing about? Ten thousand yuan! Ten thousand yuan is nothing. Can ten thousand yuan buy a life in the city? Besides, don't you see where we are now? Ten thousand yuan is nothing! Forget it. In this shabby place, if we really encounter danger, it will be too late even if we send a signal. I told you before, only by following me, Old Wang, can you survive. So is five thousand yuan a day too much?"
The burly man pushed Leng Mengyao away impatiently.
"But Brother Wang, she might..."
"Stop talking nonsense. She didn't listen to the elders and is suffering now. It's too late to regret now. Not even a god can save her. I'm not trying to scare you, but guess what my brother saw in the jungle this afternoon? Corpses, bloody corpses. Scared, right? So the only way for you to survive is to follow me. Okay, okay, your little sister is definitely gone. Give up on this idea and take a rest. I, Old Wang, am here to keep you safe."
Before Leng Mengyao could finish her words, the burly man interrupted her, frowned, and boasted about himself again.
"A corpse? Is that true? Was it eaten by wolves? Who is it... I, I won't go out anymore. It's too dangerous outside."
Upon hearing that there were dead bodies in the jungle, Yin Yichen's face turned green with fright. She curled up into a ball and trembled in the corner.
Leng Mengyao, however, was like a deflated temper, sitting on the ground. She was extremely regretful. She shouldn't have let Shen Keyin's temper today and let him and that guy named Lu Xuan leave.
It's all the fault of that guy surnamed Lu...
If Shen Keyin had any mishap, she would never let Lu Xuan go!
Several people were thinking about their own things in the cave, when suddenly a few creepy wolf howls were heard outside the cave...
And the wolf howls came one after another, from far away to near...
