Xu Wei was still negotiating with them in a foreign language, but these foreigners clearly didn't treat us like human beings at all.
His eyes were full of contempt and disdain.
Xu Wei was so angry she almost jumped up and down, muttering incoherently.
I grabbed her and shook my head at her: "It's not worth getting angry with them. Just tell them that if they really want to draw up territory, then this sea doesn't belong to them either. This island is so big, let them find another way out."
Xu Wei glanced at me and frowned: "Will it work to tell them like this?"
"Will it work? Why don't you give it a try?"
Xu Wei sighed, but still translated everything I had just said to the group of foreigners.
After they finished listening, one of them, the hot-tempered foreign bearded man whose hat I had punched that night, suddenly exploded and started swearing at me. It was obvious he was cursing.
I smirked, then immediately raised my gun and pointed it at the bearded man's head.
The moment I raised my gun, the foreigners took a step back, and Bai Wei and his group also took a step back at the same time.
The foreigner, who had been shot by me that day, probably still remembered it vividly, and his face immediately turned very tense when he saw me raise my gun.
This time, only the foreigner was carrying a gun, though he seemed a little shaky.
"I told them I didn't want to make things too tense. The most important thing is for everyone to stay safe and wait for rescue to arrive so we can survive. I don't expect them to have the same friendly attitude as us, but at least we should leave each other alone."
Xu Wei translated my words again, but the group of foreigners took a step back and didn't say anything more.
The group exchanged glances, and the foreigner slowly put away his gun.
I kept my gun raised and didn't let go, because I couldn't trust any of these people.
I turned to look at Chen Jian again and told him that he could go pick up food now, but he had to be quick, otherwise who knew what might happen later.
Chen Jian looked at me hesitantly, a little scared: "Brother Sihai, this won't do. They've already told us not to collect seashells on the beach anymore. If we do this now, aren't we just going against them?"
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xiaoxiao glared at Chen Jian and said, "If they tell you not to pick them up, you won't. But if they tell you to hand over all your current supplies, would you really obediently give them all the food? Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, and pick up some more seashells so you can have a way out!"
Chen Jian then looked at the group of foreigners again and gritted his teeth.
Meanwhile, several female colleagues had already returned to the cabin to retrieve sacks and baskets. Wang Ping and the others quickly dispersed and began collecting seashells, squid, and crabs and sea cucumbers that had been washed ashore by the waves and found among the rocks.
Xu Wei and Wang Xiaoxiao stood on either side of me, both of them very wary of the group of foreigners.
The foreigner saw that the people around us had started picking up their things, took a few steps back, looked at me, and said a few more words.
After listening, Xu Wei looked at the bearded man, turned to me and whispered, "He's asking me if you're the leader of our group?"
Ha, I wouldn't call myself the leader, since Bai Wei and his group don't listen to me at all, not to mention there's also the troublemaker Lin Xubo in there. But at this moment, I can be considered the only one who can hold the overall situation in control.
“Tell him that there is no leader in our group, that we are all just ordinary people, and that our only belief is to survive.”
After Xu Wei finished speaking, the group of foreigners whispered among themselves, and soon they turned around and walked in the direction they had spoken.
Those foreign women, dressed in bikinis and looking alluring, also started picking up seashells on the beach. However, we had been stranded on this deserted island for quite some time, and our seashell-picking skills were already superb.
But the way they picked up seashells was more like they were playing at the beach, picking out the big ones and not caring about the small ones.
Seeing that they had all dispersed, I put away my gun, but I dared not let my guard down and kept a close eye on the movements of the group of foreigners beside me.
Wang Ping and his team had already begun a rapid, thorough search for the seashells, with even Bai Wei clumsily helping out with the bags.
Xu Wei and Wang Xiaoxiao immediately used their clothes to scoop up the seashells, and hurriedly followed suit.
It took Bai Wei and his team more than two hours to fill the entire sack.
Chen Jian looked at me gratefully: "If it weren't for Brother Sihai standing up for us, we probably wouldn't even be able to eat these shellfish."
Wang Ping frowned, his face grim: "But this time, Sihai was able to turn the tide for us, perhaps because those foreigners still had some food. But what if they go crazy and risk their lives to fight us when they're starving next time?"
Actually, that's exactly what I'm most worried about.
So when I saw that foreigner pointing a gun at me, a thought popped into my head.
We need more weapons and ammunition. If we don't have them here, then we'll have to strike first and rob them.
Surviving on a deserted island is difficult enough, but we also have to face attacks from wild animals every day, food shortages, and now we have to deal with the occasional threats from these foreigners.
That foreign bearded man was right when he said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
We have no guns, no power. Even if we are bullied, we don't even have the ability to fight back, which puts us in a very passive position.
Therefore, I need to get more weapons.
But apart from the few guns that Big Beard and his group had, there was nothing else on this deserted island.
Therefore, in their situation, the only option is to steal it.
Also, the cave was incredibly damp, but the foreigner's ship was in excellent condition.
I don’t know exactly why it ran aground here, but living in a boat is definitely much more comfortable than living in a cave.
Besides, these foreigners are not so at ease; they have always been ambitious.
We, too, will not be content to be oppressed by them indefinitely; all we need to start a war is a powerful force.
Instead of passively waiting, it's better to take the initiative and launch an attack.
Moreover, these foreigners are newcomers, so the ship must have plenty of supplies in its hold.
Since they are so rude to us, there is no need for us to show them any mercy. Therefore, we have no choice but to take the weapons and the ship's hold by force.
