After all, the current environment is extremely isolated and full of dangers. If there is no food, we can go to the sea to find the fish that have been washed ashore. No matter what, we will not starve to death.
In addition, the big bird and the crab we found this time are enough to feed us for a while, which is much better than when we were stranded on the deserted island with nothing at the beginning.
But once there is no light, then this matter becomes very troublesome.
After all, the pitch-black night always makes people feel insecure.
I suddenly felt a bit uncertain, after all, I never expected things to develop like this.
We originally planned to collect some iron ore in the next couple of days, then come back and reforge some weapons and daily necessities, but now all our plans have been disrupted.
First, Xiao He and his group appeared out of nowhere, disrupting our previous plans.
This time, the sudden downpour plunged us into panic.
Bai Wei stood by the door for a long time, then walked over with a sigh.
"Sihai, what should we do? I think we should take some men out and get some more wood while the rain isn't too heavy yet. That way, if a heavy rain really comes, we'll at least have some extra to have on hand!"
In fact, Bai Wei has no bad intentions. He was just in a high position in the company, which amplified his true nature.
But after living on the deserted island for several years, I've discovered that Bai Wei is actually a responsible person.
Moreover, his love for children is something that I respect very much.
Tianci and Qiji really like Bai Wei, and sometimes Bai Wei will even go out of his way to see the two children...
Seeing the worry on Bai Wei's face, I patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"It's alright. It's dark and raining heavily outside, and I don't feel comfortable letting you go out. Let's wait for the night. If the rain hasn't stopped by tomorrow, then I'll think of another way."
Upon hearing this, the foreigner quickly came over and said, "Zhao, what other options are there? I think we should go out and get some firewood!"
Of course I know their worries and fears, but I feel that going out now would really be pointless.
After all, it was already so dark, and the rain was so heavy. Even if they went out, they wouldn't be able to see anything. Moreover, there was no way to get torches now. It was pitch black and there was no safety to speak of.
What if some wild animal is startled by the heavy rain and rushes out to hurt them? Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?
Wang Ping also hurriedly went to persuade them, and Bai Wei and the others immediately stood dejectedly by the wooden door.
I was sitting there feeling quite confused.
Yang Rui stood beside me, staring intently at the raindrops pattering down outside, saying nothing, lost in thought.
To be honest, I think Yang Rui is becoming increasingly strange.
When I first met him, he always seemed to be very considerate of us. He's lived with us for so long, but I still haven't figured out what kind of personality he has.
Now that we've been apart for a while, his return feels even more distant, as if the amiable persona he cultivated before was just a facade.
But this calm and icy personality is his true nature.
We all remained silent, listening to the pattering rain outside.
After a long while, Bai Wei sighed and said, "Forget it, we can't go out anyway, so let's go to sleep early. Getting some rest is the right thing to do."
After saying that, Bai Wei turned around and went back to their house in the rain. Then everyone left one after another, leaving only Xiao He and his group.
Xiao He was injured and is still unconscious, but Xiao Qiang had already given him some herbal medicine, so he should be fine. The wound has also been cleaned with water, and now he just needs to rest.
Our current campsite isn't actually in a low-lying area, but because it's surrounded by towering mountains, if the rain comes too fast, it could easily cause flooding, which is a real headache.
To be honest, the reason I stopped Bai Wei and the others from cutting down trees and stockpiling firewood was because I actually wanted to see that armory that could conjure up firearms.
I remember there were many wall lamps in that armory before.
Although I don't know the principle behind why those wall lamps are always on, since we were able to bring out these guns and ammunition, bringing out a few wall lamps shouldn't be too difficult.
As long as there is light, we should be able to make it through by using this firewood sparingly.
But now, with Xiao He and Yang Rui here, the situation is much more complicated than it was at the beginning.
I don't want to reveal to them any more about the guns I can currently obtain, or anything else I know.
Because I always felt that what Lin Xubo said before, that there was someone controlling them behind the scenes, searching for something that could grant immortality, made me extremely terrified.
Actually, at first, I just wanted to leave this place with Xiao He and the others, but now it's obviously impossible.
Since they started with a dozen or so people, and now only four or five remain, it means that what they have experienced during this period must have been very bloody and tragic. But even so, it has not shaken their determination to leave this place, which means that this matter is far more complicated than I imagined.
Once Xiao He and Yang Rui find out that I have this ability, it will cause us even more trouble.
So it seems that the search for a wall lamp will have to be put on hold for a while.
Fortunately, the firewood we have now, if used sparingly, should last for about a week.
Let's wait and see how things go tomorrow before making any plans.
I had already anticipated this thought, and I got up to leave and go back to sleep, but Yang Rui suddenly called me back.
I turned to look at him. Yang Rui's expression was indifferent, and his voice was so calm that it had no intonation.
"Zhao Sihai, don't you want to know why we came to this place?"
This was the first time Yang Rui had spoken to me so meaningfully since we met again.
I frowned, my mind racing.
Given Yang Rui's personality, he probably wouldn't tell me their purpose directly. So the reason he stopped me like that was probably just to pique my curiosity.
To be honest, I was indeed very curious, but it wasn't necessarily something I had to know. Then I looked at Yang Rui and calmly shook my head.
"I don't care why you came here, and I don't want to know why you came here, because I'm not interested."
"All I want to say is that if you don't want to leave and insist on staying here, I will naturally give you some food. After all, we are all human beings, and I don't have the heart to watch you starve or die of disease. But if you have any other ideas, I advise you to give up on them as soon as possible. I, Zhao Sihai, will never allow anyone to harm my friends here in the slightest. So you can keep these secrets to yourself and don't need to tell me!"
After saying that, I turned around and walked straight out into the rain.
When I reached the house and glanced back out of the corner of my eye, I realized that Yang Rui was still standing there, quietly staring in my direction with a complicated look in his eyes, lost in thought.
