My mind was filled with doubts, and I felt uneasy. But I absolutely couldn't tell these women about this terrifying thing, otherwise they would definitely be too scared to sleep at night.
In this situation, we still need to conserve our energy, because we don't know what will happen next.
However, the body absolutely cannot be left at the foot of the mountain, otherwise it will easily attract wild animals that hunt in the vicinity.
If they discover that our mountaintop has been breached, there will be casualties, so I still need to talk to Bai Wei about this.
When I met Bai Wei and the others, Bai Wei had his eyes closed, and I didn't know if he was asleep.
They didn't react when they saw me come in. One of the male colleagues looked at me and gestured with his lip. I walked over to Bai Wei's side, sat on the floor, and looked at Bai Wei.
“I don’t know if you’re awake or not, but there’s something I have to tell you. The body you dragged back must be disposed of. Whether it’s Lin Xubo or not, he shouldn’t be in our area. Besides, the body is in a state of high decomposition. If it affects the water quality around here, then we won’t have any water to drink.”
"Also, leaving this corpse here will attract wild animals with its stench. It will be very dangerous for us to go down the mountain to wash the vegetables and fruits, and for you to go out and pick wild vegetables. I'm only informing you of this once. If I see that corpse still there in a while, don't blame me for coming to make trouble for you."
I didn't want to get entangled with Bai Wei any further, because he was simply not a person who could communicate.
After I finished speaking, I turned to leave.
As a result, Bai Weiteng, who had been lying in bed without responding, suddenly sat up. Then he looked at me, his face ashen.
"Zhao Sihai, we came from the same company, and it wasn't my idea to end up stranded on a deserted island after our team-building trip. Why are you so hostile towards me? Besides, I don't know who this corpse is, but even if he's dead, we should still respect the body! We brought it back to bury it, so how did that attract wild animals or affect the water quality? Aren't you being a bit too nosy?"
I looked at Bai Wei without saying a word, but I was seething with hatred inside. He was just trying to disgust me.
"But no matter who this thing is, it's a menace if it stays here. I've already said everything I need to say. If you still want to go your own way and really want to respect the dead, then please drag it further away before burying it. Don't waste my breath here."
Bai Wei looked at me with gritted teeth in anger, but couldn't say a word for a long time because I never joked with him.
Now that I've already told him the story, if he has any brains and can figure it out, he'll know that I didn't mean to harm him.
Back in my treehouse, I went upstairs, lay on my bed, but my mind was filled with speculation.
If this corpse isn't Lin Xubo, then who is it? Could it be one of those foreigners' companions?
But all those foreigners were there when I left last time.
Moreover, if they had really lost a companion, these foreigners would probably have come out to look for him long ago.
During this time, I haven't heard any gunshots or found any suspicious traces, but this body just inexplicably appeared in the woods and was discovered by Bai Wei and his team.
It is certain that the body is that of a modern person; he is definitely not an indigenous person from this forest.
If it's not the foreigners from that time, nor is it our people now, and if we exclude Lin Xubo, then it means there are other living people on this island.
But we have no idea where those people are...
I feel very depressed and don't know what to do. My mind keeps wandering between different thoughts. I really don't understand why these strange things keep happening in this forest.
What I'm most worried about is that group of indigenous people. They appear out of nowhere and then mysteriously disappear, as if they've never existed in our lives.
But we really did fight, we really clashed...
The enormous dark shadow I saw that rainy night is an untouchable fear in my heart.
The camp we've found, along with these rice seedlings, seemed to be providing a little support, but then this happened. It's just unacceptable to me.
I stood there on the bed, stunned, for a long time. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Xu Wei walked in from outside, sitting on my bed and looking at me.
"Brother Sihai, don't be too sad. I think there are still clues to this. Think about it, if it really is those foreigners, then we can just go to their camp and ask them."
“If not, we can go along the coast to see if there are any more stranded ships nearby. Now that their people are dead, Brother Wang Ping said that there might still be some supplies on the stranded ships. As for the next night, let’s take turns keeping watch. Two girls per shift, and one boy per shift. That way, each person won’t have to keep watch for long and will have time to rest properly. I think it’s a good idea.”
I know Xu Wei was trying to comfort me, but things are never as simple as he makes them out to be.
Even if there are stranded ships, who knows what happened there, or how many people were on board?
The most important thing is a question that I don't understand at all.
That means I can accept the death of this person, after all, anything can happen on a deserted island like this.
But where did his head go?
Moreover, I just examined his head, and it was clearly severed by a sharp weapon. It was definitely not a cut that an animal could make. That means he was either beheaded while he was alive, or his head was severed after he died...
I don't know of any place where the custom is such that a person dies without a complete body, so I'm really worried about it.
But I didn't want Xu Wei and the others to worry. I managed only a forced smile.
"Don't worry, things will work out in the end. Just don't go down the mountain to ask around for now. Let's stay in this cave and wait until things calm down before asking. Fortunately, we have enough food stored up. We'll find out what happened eventually."
Xu Wei nodded and looked at me: "Yes, that's what I think too. And most importantly, we now have guns and ammunition. Even if there is any danger, we won't be bullied by others forever. We will always have room to fight back. Sister Xiao Qiang said that no matter what, we should not be afraid of them hitting us."
Looking at Xu Wei's serious expression, I suddenly burst out laughing.
This little girl has really started learning bad habits from us.
He used to be such a quiet person at the company, how come he can now speak so rudely and resort to violence?
But then I thought about it again and felt a little sad. It's really fate that plays tricks on people.
