My male colleagues, who had previously opposed me, all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Actually, from the very beginning, I never intended for them to risk their lives like I did.
After all, everyone is selfish, and life is only once. It would be irresponsible to take them on a dangerous mission when I cannot guarantee their safety.
So I had already discussed it with Chen Jian, and we two would act as the vanguard to scout the situation before the main force went over.
And we also need to take good care of our weapons.
Two days ago, Xiao Qiang found a herb that oozes white sap in the woods.
She said that the herb could induce anesthesia and could be used as an anesthetic on a desert island.
So Chen Jian and I have been searching for that herb in the woods for the past two days, and we also had Wang Xiaoxiao and the others collect the white sap extracted from that herb.
The pointed wooden sticks that Wang Ping had made before came in handy now.
If we soak those wooden sticks in white liquid, we can use them to pierce the skin of those foreigners and anesthetize them.
Even if it doesn't achieve the best results, it can still buy us some time.
Wang Ping nodded.
“That’s no problem. I’ve made a lot of those pointed sticks recently, with sharp stones tied to them with vines. They can kill not only people, but even wild boars. That way, we won’t be at a disadvantage.”
“We tried to make baskets after seeing you make them, but we all failed. Later, we tied together some very resilient vines and made several large nets. We originally planned to use those nets to catch fish in the sea, but now it seems that we can use them to tie up a few people without any problem.”
A male colleague leaned closer to me in a low voice as he spoke: "But, didn't Boss Bai tell us anything about this operation?"
Chen Jian rolled his eyes: "Even if you tell him about this, do you think he'll fight alongside us? Lin Xubo used to be his most loyal dog, but now his dog has betrayed him and is even turning around to bite him. I doubt Bai Wei is in the mood to deal with us these next few days. We'd better make our own plans."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Ping and said, "Brother Wang, when we go to scout ahead tonight, you and these male colleagues should hide in the woods, preferably close to us. If we run into any trouble, you can come and help us as soon as possible."
Chen Jian was still a little worried, and of course I completely understand his concerns.
Wang Ping listened to Chen Jian's words, but shook his head and pondered for a while.
"I think Sihai and I should go tonight. We're both very efficient, and if anything goes wrong, at least we won't be a burden to each other. You can stay and lead everyone to provide support from behind."
Chen Jian wanted to say something, but Wang Ping waved his hand to stop him and turned to look at me.
"Zhao Sihai, this time the two of us will join hands to seek benefits for everyone. I really didn't expect that the two of us would stand together one day. I'm quite excited."
I also think this world is really amazing. When I was in the company before, I only knew that Wang Ping was a manager who always had a stern face, did things meticulously, and often found fault with people. I didn't know that he was a man with passion. It's just that he didn't follow the right person.
I nodded and went over the details with everyone again, telling them to quickly bring over the wooden sticks that Wang Ping had made, and to soak them for a longer time so that the herbal sap that could have an anesthetic effect could penetrate them as much as possible.
Chen Jian quickly led everyone back to Baiwei's ship. However, in order not to attract too much attention, they brought over a few sticks every now and then, and each time Chen Jian brought them over himself.
Because Chen Jian and I were very close before, only when Chen Jian came would we not attract their attention.
We had a hearty meal in the afternoon and also sent over a lot of the dried meat we had made using the sea salt we extracted.
After all, you need to be well-fed to have the energy.
Lying in bed, I kept thinking about whether there were any other loopholes in this plan, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Xiao Qiang seemed a little worried, and held my hand, hesitant to speak.
Liu Jiaojiao looked at me and sighed softly.
"Brother Sihai, this matter is far too risky. Have you thought it through? There's no turning back once the arrow is released. If we really fail, our situation will become even more difficult."
Xu Wei, her eyes also red, said, "Otherwise, I'll bring a few girls with me and follow behind. If a conflict really breaks out, even though we're a bit weak, we're still human. If we charge in together, there's strength in numbers."
Of course I know they're all worried about me, but in this situation, the fewer people who go out, the less danger there is.
"You all stay in the cave and prepare all the herbs we find. If we clash, there will definitely be injuries or even deaths, so your role as logistics is even more important now, understand?"
Wang Xiaoxiao knows me best. Seeing that I was determined, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely defend the cave to the death. Even if we fail this time, I will not let them take over the cave. I will do my best to leave everyone a way out."
I looked at Wang Xiaoxiao with some gratitude.
They waited until it was dark before Wang Ping arrived with Chen Jian.
I handed the soaked wooden sticks to Chen Jian and asked him to take them back and distribute them.
He then handed the revolver to Wang Ping.
He even pulled out a handful of bullets and gave them to him.
Wang Ping held the gun with a touch of emotion.
"Heh, I must say you're pretty bold. When we were being chased by wolves, you dared to give me that gun. Weren't you afraid I'd shoot you in the back and kill you?"
"I understand the principle of trusting those you employ and not employing those you don't trust. Besides, you're not a bad person; it's just that everyone has a different perspective."
Wang Ping was stunned for a moment after hearing what I said, and then burst into laughter.
"I didn't expect you to be so good!"
Xiao Qiang took a glass bottle filled with herbal juice that could numb the nerves and told us to take it with us for self-defense.
This thing is indeed a secret weapon in close combat.
I then told Wang Ping how to load the bullets and went over the plan in more detail.
But just as we were all ready and waiting to set off to attack those foreigners, a burst of intense gunfire suddenly rang out from down the mountain.
Wang Ping and I were both taken aback.
I walked to the cave entrance and looked down. I saw a lot of people standing at the foot of the mountain, and Chen Jian was leading a group of colleagues running towards my cave like crazy.
Wang Ping's expression changed: "There aren't that many foreigners, and those foreigners are all carrying guns. So, where did the extra people come from?"
