Gradually, Qiao Yuran and Tong Wei felt better.
However, Zhuo Qiangian seemed to have some worries in her heart. She kept frowning and thinking, From time to time, she would suddenly say, “There must be a way to leave here!”
The few of them looked at her strangely.
They knew clearly why Zhuo Qiangian was acting so weird. She killed Xiao Gu with her own hand. She seemed to have a psychological trauma because of that.
However, it was not as simple as they thought.
Zhuo Qiangian suddenly stood up and stopped looking at the island in the middle of the lake. She suddenly asked, “I’m leaving, Are you guys coming with me?”
She was asking Qiao Yuran and Tong Wei.
The two women were dumbfounded. They did not know what was going on. Going with you? Where could they go? This place was a deserted island.
Zhuo Qiangian saw that the two women did not express their opinions and still looked hesitant. She said, “In that case, you two can continue to live here. I’m going to find a way to leave this place! I won’t just sit here and wait for death!”
As she said that, Zhuo Qiangian tumed around and left swiftly.
Tong Wei and Qiao Yuran were both dumbfounded. What was going on? Why did they have to leave so hurry? Was killing people really that traumatizing?
Seeing Zhuo Qiangian’s back gradually disappearing into the forest, the two women were a little anxious.
“Chang Yuan, hurry up and chase Qiangian back. She will be in danger alone!” Tong Wei tugged at Chang Yuan who was deep in thought.
Chang Yuan’s mind was filled with Director Zhang’s last words. He only reacted after Tong Wei tugged at him.
“Both of you go back to the cave. I’l go find Zhuo Qiangian and bring her back!”
Before Chang Yuan left, he turned around and instructed seriously, “No matter what, the two of you must always be on guard. Remember, if you encounter an unavoidable danger, you must do your best to keep yourself alive!”
With that, Chang Yuan chased after Zhuo Qiangian.
After experiencing the crisis of Director Zhang’s attack, Tong Wei and Qiao Yuran also realized the importance of Chang Yuan’s words. They nodded and returned to the cave.
At this time, the sky was about to turn dark, and the light in the forest was decreasing.
Chang Yuan chased after the direction Zhuo Qiangian left in, but he did not see Zhuo Qiangian’s figure.
Chang Yuan called out Zhuo Qiangian’s name as he walked, but he did not get a response.
He had a bad premonition in his heart.
Chang Yuan knew that Zhuo Qiangian had also heard Director Zhang’s last words before he died.
He guessed that Zhuo Qiangian must have gone to look for the survivors. She firmly believed that if she found the other survivors, there would be more opportunities of leaving this deserted island.
However, Chang Yuan was also most worried about this.
People would change after they stranded this cruel deserted island.
Especially when the men met a great beauty, the dark side of human nature would be magnified infinitely, and the male desire for possession would devour their rationality.
Chang Yuan had to find Zhuo Qiangian before the sky tuned completely dark, or else she would really be in danger.
In the dark forest, Chang Yuan trotted cautiously. He focused to hear any sound that came from his surroundings, afraid that he would slip past Zhuo Qiangian.
suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes beside Chang Yuan.
Chang Yuan stopped and looked in that direction cautiously.
He saw a corner of a shirt was revealed from behind the bush.
Chang Yuan went over, he thought it was Zhuo Qiangian. However, it tuned out to be a completely unfamiliar young man.
The first time the young man saw Chang Yuan, his eyes widened, and he wanted to shout out loud.
However, Chang Yuan reacted quickly and pounced forward. He used his hand to cover the young man’s mouth and then stared at the other party with a warning look.
“Don’t make a sound, or else…” as he spoke, Chang Yuan made a hand gesture to slit his neck.
The young man was terrified. He didn’t dare to scream anymore. However, the young man was holding a dead poisonous snake in his hand. His face was a little pale. It seemed that he had been poisoned by the snake venom.
Chang Yuan sized up the young man again. His pants were rolled up on his calf. The bite marks of the snake’s teeth were very obvious.
“You’ve been poisoned. If you don’t get treatment tonight, you’ll die!” Chang Yuan said to the young man seriously.
The young man knew that he wouldn’t live past tomorrow. His eyes were relaxed, and he wasn’t nervous anymore.
“Don’t move!”
Chang Yuan said again and put down his hand that was covering the young man’s mouth.
He turned around and searched the bushes for a long time. He found a few weeds, such as three-leaf climber, white flower snake tongue grass, and three-leaf needle grass. He also caught a centipede under the tree trunk.
The young man looked at Chang Yuan’s actions. Although his mind was a little muddled because of the snake venom, he could tell that Chang Yuan was preparing an antidote for himself.
Chang Yuan mixed a few types of weeds together and bit them in his mouth. After chewing them, he squeezed them into a round shape. Then, he killed the centipede and stuck it in the middle of the herbs.
Then, without saying anything, Chang Yuan directly sucked the snake venom from the young man’s calf.
“Bah!”
He sucked three or four mouthful of blood that had already been infected by the snake venom. Then, he covered the wound with the medicinal herb.
“ant”
The young man cried out in pain. The moment the medicinal herb touched the wound, the young man trembled a few times.
But very quickly, the pain went away.
His mental state also slowly improved.
“Who are you?” Chang Yuan asked the young man.
The young man had been on guard against Chang Yuan previously, afraid that Chang Yuan would persecute him. But now that Chang Yuan had helped him cure the snake venom, it was equivalent to saving his life, so he did not have any more worries.
“My plane crashed, and I stranded at here. So do you, right”
The young man looked at Chang Yuan and answered.
Seeing that Chang Yuan was deep in thought, the young man realized that he had not introduced himself yet. “Just call me Ah Feng. Oh right, you’d better not be discovered by those people, or you’ll become a slave!”
Chang Yuan replied, “Call me Chang Yuan!” Then he frowned and continued to ask, “Those people? Become slaves? What do you mean!”
Feng explained, “After the plane crash, we all formed our own teams on this island. However, because of the food and territory problems, we finally united and were ruled by a manic guy called Wang Xiaobo!”
“That person is very cruel. Everyone must obey him. Moreover, he also established a team of young and strong thugs. Alll outsiders are locked up. Men become slaves, and women are even more miserable…”
As he spoke, Chang Yuan’s gaze became gloomier. It seemed like Zhuo Qiangian was really doomed.
Chang Yuan pondered for a moment and then asked, “Then which faction do you belong?”
“Tm also one of them. However, I’m only responsible for going out to search for food every day.. I’m not a thug, and I’m not one of his followers!”
