Enraged, Chen Jian grabbed a wooden stick and swung it at Lin Xubo.
The disdain in Lin Xubo's eyes instantly turned into panic. He quickly dodged and hid behind the crowd, his series of movements flowing smoothly.
Liu Jiaojiao became anxious when she saw Chen Jian doing this, and quickly called out to him. Only then did Chen Jian respond and put away the stick in his hand.
I was still completely confused, my mind filled with questions.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Xubo would have had no chance of finding our campsite at all!
First, after we found this camp, no one was allowed to come here, except for Yang Rui, who appeared later.
Secondly, Lin Xubo had been with that group of foreigners. Initially, the foreigners and Lin Xubo were in a mutually beneficial and exploitative relationship, but later they clearly stopped treating Lin Xubo as a human being.
That means that Lin Xubo's life was also difficult for those foreign teachers, and we have always known that Lin Xubo is the kind of person who is good at currying favor with the powerful and belittling the weak.
After being ousted from our team, how could he possibly have the face to come back to us? And he even suggested bringing those foreigners to join us?
But now that he is actually standing in front of us, how did he find his way here?
I suddenly remembered the male colleague who said he was going out to find firewood yesterday. Could it be that he brought Lin Xubo here?
I immediately looked at the male colleague, only to see that he was standing in the distance with a puzzled expression on his face.
If he wasn't acting, then it means he genuinely didn't know.
I pulled Chen Jian over and walked towards Lin Xubo, frowning deeply. "How did you find your way here? What leverage or reason do you think you have to bring those outsiders to negotiate with us?"
Seeing Chen Jian throw away the stick, Lin Xubo coughed and pretended to walk out from behind the crowd.
She even reached out and ruffled his already very long hair.
"I don't have much capital, but I just want to tell you that if we stick together now, we can survive this winter; otherwise, we'll all die."
"I think Zhao Sihai, you don't want to die, right? After all, you've always wanted to leave this place, so surviving is the most important thing. I came here today just to tell you that the situation outside is not as simple as you think. Unity is the key to victory, do you understand?"
Looking at Lin Xubo's confident demeanor, I sneered inwardly.
"You think this is as simple as you think? Let me tell you, even if we don't take you in, we will definitely survive. You probably won't be able to hold on, right?"
"I don't care how you found this camp, but I'm telling you, don't show your face here again, or I'll beat you every time I see you. I'm giving you three seconds to disappear from here, and I'll pretend I never saw you. But remember, if you try to come back here to cause trouble after you leave, we're not pushovers!"
After I finished speaking, I immediately looked at the male colleagues standing behind me. They immediately understood and shoved Lin Xubo out of the camp.
Then, Chen Jian and Wang Ping immediately closed all the large wooden doors, effectively blocking Lin Xubo from the outside.
But Lin Xubo was clearly not giving up, and he stood outside the camp shouting loudly into the camp.
“Zhao Sihai, I came here this time to do you a favor. You need to know that this deserted island isn’t just about our few groups. Those natives are watching us like hawks. Don’t you know that we outnumber them and have more power? If we’re all together, they won’t dare to come easily. But have you ever thought about how long your shabby camp can hold out if those natives really come? You’re playing with everyone’s lives!”
"I think you're joking! How many days we can hold out is our business, why do you need to worry about it? Since you want to be those foreigners' dogs, why are you barking here? Get out, get out, or I'll beat you up when I get out!"
Chen Jian jumped up and down cursing at Lin Xubo, but Lin Xubo wouldn't give up and kept shouting outside.
We ignored him and went straight back to the cabin, but after we got back, Lin Xubo continued to shout and curse outside for a long time before finally stopping.
The campfire was bright, and fish was roasting on it.
Wang Xiaoxiao and the others had already made soup. We all gathered around the campfire. Bai Wei was silent, his head down, and his expression was not clear.
Chen Jian was fuming, Wang Ping had his brows furrowed, and I was also unsure of what to do.
I don't know why Lin Xubo came here to say so many nonsensical things, and I don't know how Lin Xubo found this place.
But I don't think Lin Xubo came here so simply because he wanted us to take him in.
Given the current situation, I have to consider the worst-case scenario for everything.
I think it might be foreigners. Their group was besieged by these indigenous people, which is why Lin Xubo risked so much to come here.
If that's really the case, then we really need to step up our defenses.
Although all the necessary measures have been taken, I still feel uncertain...
“I think starting tonight, we should keep some people on night watch every day. Three people per watch, except for the female colleagues who don’t stay on night watch, we men are enough to take turns. We can rotate every five days, so it won’t be too tiring and we can keep our spirits up.”
After I finished speaking, Wang Ping looked up at me and nodded.
"Even if you hadn't said it, I would have explained it this way. But what I still don't understand is how Lin Xubo found this place?"
Wang Ping looked around at the people with a serious expression. My gaze swept over everyone around me as well, but they all had their heads down. The flickering firelight illuminated their faces, making it impossible to see their expressions or what they were thinking.
If I have any suspicions about them, then the one most likely to be suspected, besides Yang Rui, is the male colleague who said he was going out to collect firewood last night but ended up letting those two wild goats go.
But if he doesn't want to talk about it, he probably won't be able to get anything out of it through coercion.
However, apart from this male colleague, the person I suspect the most is Yang Rui.
Yang Rui didn't come with us when we went out today. He had been saying he was going out to find Xiao He and the others, but he was delayed by various things.
Did Yang Rui tell Lin Xubo the location of our camp?
If Yang Rui told you this, then what exactly does Yang Rui want to do?
My mind is a mess, and I can't find any clues for the moment. I feel very depressed.
After a quick bite to eat, they all returned to their respective wooden houses.
But to my surprise, Yang Rui didn't leave. Instead, he remained sitting on the wooden stump. When everyone had dispersed, he stood up and called to me.
"Brother Sihai, I have something I want to tell you."
Looking at Yang Rui's somewhat calm expression, I couldn't help but wonder.
Could it be that Yang Rui was really behind the leak of information about our camp?
