Bai Wei's face turned even uglier after seeing the blood, and he shouted that he wanted to keep walking forward.
But it's already so dark, who knows what dangers might lurk in the woods?
Moreover, although I have a gun, everyone knows how important bullets are in this situation.
However, if they turn back now, Lin Xubo's situation will become even more dangerous.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to continue the search.
Although I didn't have a good impression of Lin Xubo, I couldn't just stand by and watch him die without knowing why.
"You all need to be on high alert. The woods are bound to be dangerous. If you notice anything amiss, run immediately. Also, don't stray too far. Stay together, understand?"
The group of people who had followed them out were also pale-faced. They didn't want to go, but they had no choice but to lean against the side one by one, like steamed buns stuck to the pot.
We walked deeper into the woods for about two more hours, but we still couldn't find any trace of Lin Xubo. We searched almost the entire forest, and it was already completely dark. We didn't have any torches, and I became more and more worried.
Bai Wei's expression grew increasingly grim; he must have realized that Lin Xubo was probably not going to make it.
At this moment, Wang Ping walked up to Bai Wei with a dark face, looking somewhat hesitant: "President Bai, it's getting dark. We can't let Lin Xubo's life ruin all of our lives, can we? I think we should go back. If Lin Xubo is not dead, he should be back at the camp by now. If he is dead, we probably won't be able to find him."
Bai Wei remained silent this time. He glanced at Wang Ping, gritted his teeth, and looked into the depths of the woods. "Let's go."
After saying that, he turned around and quickly led us out of the woods.
By the time we returned to camp, exhausted, it was completely dark.
Several women stayed behind to guard the camp, huddled around the campfire in fear.
Xu Wei and Wang Xiaoxiao were also standing by the boat. The girls were huddled together, their expressions somewhat solemn.
Seeing us return, Xu Wei immediately jumped and threw herself into my arms: "Why did it take you so long to get back?"
"We haven't found Lin Xubo; we estimate he's probably dead."
After hearing what I said, Xu Wei gave me a displeased look and then turned to look at the cabin: "He's not dead, he's alive and well, he's been back for a while."
I was taken aback: "You're back? When did you get back?"
"He came back not long after you left, and went straight into the cabin. He's probably already woken up and taken a nap by now."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Lin Xubo was not dead.
Bai Wei quickly turned around and went straight into the cabin.
I was furious, but there was nothing I could do. After all, we had no communication equipment, and Lin Xubo was nowhere to be found. If he saw us leave, he probably wouldn't be able to contact us.
I took a deep breath and could only endure it.
However, I felt disgusted, as if I had swallowed a fly. This Lin Xubo was more trouble than he was worth.
"Alright, now that he's back, let's go back to the cave. My back and waist are aching from walking all afternoon."
Xu Wei turned to look at the cabin with a grim expression. Wang Xiaoxiao leaned close to me and whispered, "That bastard Lin Xubo left without saying a word, making you search for him for so long. You must be hungry, right? Xiao Qiang has already prepared something delicious in the cave. Let's go back and eat something."
When we returned to the cave, Xiao Qiang was adding firewood to the campfire. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw me return.
She turned around and started complaining about Lin Xubo again, but at least he came back alive, which is good news.
After a whole afternoon of running around, I was exhausted. After eating, I lay down on the straw bed and fell asleep immediately.
The next morning, just as I came down the mountain, I saw Chen Jian standing at the foot of the mountain, seemingly wanting to go up but hesitating about something.
Seeing me come down, its face lit up with joy, and it quickly ran to my side, grabbed me, and pulled me into the woods.
"Hey, what have you been doing all day? I don't like men!"
Chen Jian clicked his tongue and leaned closer to me: "Brother Sihai, I think Lin Xubo is acting a bit strange."
I saw Chen Jian roll his eyes.
"Lin Xubo has been acting strangely for more than just a day or two. You even came all the way here to tell me again. What's wrong? Has he grown another hand? Or is he up to his old tricks again?"
Chen Jian glanced at me, sighed, and continued, "I was on watch last night. In the middle of the night, I saw Lin Xubo secretly get off the ship and was smoking! But you know we've been stranded on this island together, and there's no such thing here. Where did he get it from?"
After hearing Chen Jian's words, I also felt that something was wrong.
At that time, we found supplies that had been brought ashore from the sea, but we didn't find any tobacco.
After searching this area for so long without finding any tobacco leaves, it's unclear where Lin Xubo got his tobacco.
I pulled Chen Jian further behind me and whispered, "Have you noticed anything else that's not right?"
Chen Jian thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"He must have gone out to smoke during a break, and he walked quite a distance. I saw the light flickering on and off. Later, after he returned to the cabin, I went back to where he had been and there was indeed a cigarette butt, and it was a cigar! I wonder if he secretly went to the foreigners' place and stole their things?"
I think it's possible. After all, someone as ruthless as Lin Xubo is capable of anything.
It seemed that the group of foreigners had also gone out to find something to eat in the afternoon, so if Lin Xubo really sneaked over there, it was possible that he wouldn't be discovered.
But then I thought about it and it didn't seem right. After all, given my understanding of Lin Xubo's cowardly nature, would he really have such audacity?
In this situation, even I wouldn't dare to rush into the opposite camp alone to steal things, since who knows if those foreigners might have left people in the camp?
If they are discovered and caught, they will be beaten to death.
Moreover, we are in the wrong. He died, and that's that. He deserved it.
"Go back and keep a close eye on him. If he does anything else suspicious, you must come and tell me immediately. Also, don't alert anyone else about this. If we do, things could get complicated."
Chen Jian nodded cautiously: "Of course I know, that's why I didn't tell anyone, I just came here secretly to tell you. Brother Sihai, why can't Lin Xubo keep quiet? If those foreigners on the other side find out and come looking for trouble and start a conflict with us, wouldn't that lead to a major war?"
I also have a terrible headache, but for now it's all just speculation, so I can only have Chen Jian continue to observe Lin Xubo's every move so that I can make a plan.
Chen Jian nodded, and even took a detour through the woods before returning to their camp.
