Yang Rui looked completely bewildered, just like a naive child.
When he saw me extend my hand, he shook my hand in the same way.
Just then, Wang Ping's tense voice came from behind: "Sihai, are you crazy? Who knows what kind of tricks he might pull? You'd better stay away from him!"
As Wang Ping spoke, he ran to my side, while Yang Rui still looked at Wang Ping with a blank expression.
I quickly grabbed Wang Ping, who was holding a large machete, and whispered about how 008 had erased Yang Rui's memory.
After Wang Ping finished speaking, he looked shocked: "You mean he has no memory now?"
I nodded.
"But how is that possible? A person's memories are ingrained in their very bones; how can they be erased so easily?"
I shook my head: "I don't know the specifics, but I think Yang Rui is probably completely oblivious now, which is good. But just to be safe, let's tell everyone to be a little wary of him and observe him for a while before making any decisions."
Wang Ping nodded after hearing this, and then stiffly introduced Yang Rui in the same way I did.
Yang Rui is acting like a curious child now, asking a lot of strange and unusual questions that I find hard to answer, so I ended up handing him over to the foreigner.
The foreigners are currently learning Mandarin. After learning about Yang Rui's situation, they were also shocked. They surrounded Yang Rui and talked to him, managing to calm him down temporarily.
I couldn't be bothered with them anymore, so I turned around and went to find Wang Xiaoxiao and the others.
Wang Xiaoxiao, Xiao Qiang, and the others were tidying up the small cubicles inside the base.
The cubicles here were clearly the residences of the researchers who stayed here to conduct their studies. Although the mattresses inside were rotten and dilapidated due to their age, the beds were still functional.
Moreover, there are usable lights inside the house, and all their electrical equipment is solar-powered, which has temporarily relieved a lot of trouble for us.
Wang Xiaoxiao and the others are planning to clean up all these rooms and then distribute them according to the number of people, so that we can finally have a place to live.
Xiao Qiang was sweating profusely from her busy work. When she saw me arrive, she walked over to my side, took a deep breath, and a relieved expression appeared on her face.
"Sihai, this base is truly perfect. My colleague who went out to scout earlier told me it's made entirely of steel, so even if there's a mudslide or wild animal attack, they definitely won't be able to break in anytime soon."
"And now that we have so many robots, everyone can finally get a good night's sleep."
I know that Xiao Qiang has changed a lot since she was stranded on this deserted island. The arrogant demeanor she had at the company is long gone. Now she is more like a confidante and a helper to me.
She can give me an explanation for everything I can think of and even help me solve problems.
I pulled Xiao Qiang into my arms and said, "You've really suffered these past few days."
Xiao Qiang shook her head: "Sihai, what are you saying? As long as I can be with you, I really don't ask for anything else."
Seeing Xiao Qiang's cheerful expression, I finally felt a little more at ease.
After all, Xiao Qiang hadn't been this relaxed in a long time.
After learning about Yang Rui's situation, Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Wei were both very moved. However, we decided in the end to observe Yang Rui for a while longer.
If the memory erasure is not complete this time, then 008 will have to erase it again.
This method used by 008 is indeed quite astonishing. I'm even starting to wonder about the background of the owner I researched earlier.
And the watch in my pocket, which could be big or small, turned out to be the time-traveling pocket watch that Yang Rui and the others had been looking for.
As for how to use this pocket watch, I still don't understand it.
After all, this watch was just an interesting object to me before, but now it seems that this pocket watch has far exceeded my expectations.
Perhaps I should take some time to study it properly.
That evening, Xiao Qiang, along with her female colleagues and several foreign women, cleaned up all the partitions in the room and then used some wooden boards and steel to partition off another large partition.
It would be good to let those foreign men live together.
Bai Wei and his male colleagues slept in the same room again. Although the situation was still a bit tense, it was much safer than having to worry about wild animals breaking into the camp at any time.
That evening, I took Wang Ping and Chen Jian out through the iron gate again, retrieved a few pieces of glass, and then installed them. Now I felt much more confident.
Although many people don't know about that iron gate now, when Wang Ping, Chen Jianjiang, and I retrieved the glass, they weren't as curious as before.
After experiencing so much, they all understand one thing: knowing more is not necessarily a good thing for them.
Being able to survive and have enough to eat and drink is already a blessing from heaven.
Early the next morning, Wang Ping led his men out to collect some branches and erected a fence around the base, which served as the first line of defense.
In this way, any disturbance outside will have to pass through this fence, and once inside, we will be able to detect it immediately.
In addition, we also arranged for robots to take turns guarding the area at night. The robots are very responsible and do not get tired, since they are all programmed.
Now, our people no longer need to stand guard in fear.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Jian took some colleagues out to get some food, since their living conditions had improved and stabilized, so food was the most urgent thing now.
Food can be made inside the iron gate, but I gradually discovered that using my mind to conjure things is too exhausting, and it's really too much of a strain to supply everyone.
Therefore, we still need to go out hunting to ensure we have enough to eat.
Moreover, although this base is very good, the only problem is that there is no water flow in it.
The nearest freshwater canal to this base is a ten-minute walk away.
Wang Ping and the others have been discussing with me these past two days about getting some water pipes from inside the iron gate and then transporting the water through those pipes to outside our current base.
This way we won't have to go out to find water.
I think this is a very necessary measure. I originally planned to find some time today to build a pile of stones on the freshwater stream and then protect the freshwater stream.
But to everyone's surprise, Chen Jian and Bai Wei, who had gone out to find food, rushed back, their faces turning extremely grim.
Back at the base, Chen Jian's legs were a little weak. When he saw me, he immediately said anxiously, "Brother Sihai is in trouble! Something terrible has happened on the beach!"
