The snake seemed no longer satisfied with the corpse; it wanted to eat fresh food.

If this continues, Yang Ningcong's family line will be wiped out in just a few days.

If the people below are gone.

If there are no living creatures on the beach.

The next time that snake hunts, it will look upwards.

There are only so many living people on this island.

Since it has eaten people before, it will no longer honestly hunt lizards and birds.

On their side, he's the only one capable of direct confrontation.

With Zhou Kai injured in the leg, Song Ya and Su Qingxue were unable to fight, and Liu Feifei could basically only make noise.

Lin Fan suddenly remembered something and turned to walk into the cave.

"Dr. Xu."

Xu Zhixia also saw what happened below.

Her brain was still processing something beyond the scope of modern medical training.

An adult was swallowed by a snake.

This is possible in a documentary.

But in reality, seeing it with your own eyes is another matter entirely.

The snake's size, in particular, was clearly abnormal.

Xu Zhixia stood up.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Fan walked up to her.

"You're studying medicine, do you know anything about plants?"

Xu Zhixia frowned. "It depends on which type."

"Are there any snake-repelling herbs?"

Xu Zhixia looked at him. "You want to use herbs to deal with that thing from earlier?"

"We're not a good match," Lin Fan said. "Let's be on the safe side."

Xu Zhixia remained silent for two seconds.

"Ordinary snakes are afraid of pungent odors, such as realgar, smoke, and the smell of certain volatile plants."

"But it was an ordinary snake."

She turned to look at Lin Fan.

"It's starving. It could run over anything, not even a ring of nails, let alone realgar."

Lin Fan fell silent; Xu Zhixia's words were true.

The size and strength of that thing were beyond the scope of ordinary creatures.

This was the first time he had ever felt something was amiss on this island.

Previously, whether it was a lack of water or food, or the threat from Yang Ningcong and Wang Laoliu, he had precise solutions.

It's nothing more than using fists and guns to intimidate them.

But now, his fists are no different from tickling that thing.

His gun...

Lin Fan's gaze swept over the corner deep in the cave where firearms were hidden.

A sniper rifle might be able to penetrate its scales, but only if it hits a vital spot.

Eye socket? Oral cavity? Seven inches?

With such a large size, it's hard to say where seven inches would fit.

Moreover, if their body shape mutates, what about other parts? If they can't even be penetrated by a gun, everyone here will turn into snake dung.

The women behind him all sensed the change in atmosphere.

This man, who could use the sky as a blanket even if it fell down, showed a serious expression for the first time.

Liu Feifei huddled in the corner, "Lin...Lin Fan, how about..."

Lin Fan glanced back at her. He didn't need to think much; most of what Liu Feifei said was nonsense.

Song Ya hugged her knees and whispered, "Could we set some traps at the entrance of the cave? Like digging a big pit, or making a net with ropes..."

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.

Because she herself knew that it was unrealistic.

How long would it take them to dig a pit that could trap that giant python?

The rope that could hold that giant python would probably require an arresting cable from an aircraft carrier.

Su Qingxue remained silent.

She just looked at Lin Fan's profile. This man had initially humiliated her, but now he was offering her protection.

On the island, she had grown accustomed to staying under his wing and watching him solve all the problems.

But now, even he frowned.

Su Qingxue's heart sank little by little.

If even Lin Fan can't help them, and if rescue doesn't come soon, are they really going to die here?

Lin Fan took a couple of steps and walked back to the cave entrance.

His gaze fell upon the ravaged beach below.

Yang Ningcong and his group have disappeared; they've probably hidden back in the crevices of the rocks.

The deep trench carved out of the sand by the giant python serves as a reminder to everyone that death had just occurred.

Now, food and water are no longer the primary survival elements.

The real question is how to survive the snake's next hunt.

move place?

The entire island is within its hunting range, so where can it move to?

A direct confrontation?

The risk is too great; he can't afford to gamble.

Drive them away?

Xu Zhixia had already ruled out the possibility of herbs; that thing was a mutated monster caused by radiation, and could not be judged by common sense.

For a moment, Lin Fan found himself in a stalemate.

He became the king of this small group, which also meant that he bore the fate of everyone on his shoulders.

Just then, Xu Zhixia walked over and stood beside him.

The sea breeze lifted her long hair.

Her expression remained calm as always. "You can't solve this by yourself."

Xu Zhixia got straight to the point.

Lin Fan did not refute it; it was a fact.

"Even if you run out of ammunition, you still can't hit its vital points," Xu Zhixia continued. "If we run out of ammunition, we'll lose our last hope of survival."

Lin Fan turned his head and looked at her.

He wanted to know what the woman wanted to say.

"So, you need a helper." Xu Zhixia's gaze swept downwards, "A professional marksman, a sniper who has practiced shooting and is virtually infallible."

Lin Fan's brows furrowed even deeper.

Helper? He knew who Xu Zhixia was talking about.

Su Qingxue was the first to react.

"Are you crazy?"

The others also looked up at Xu Zhixia, their faces pale.

No one has forgotten Wang Laoliu.

That man once hid on a high place and aimed a sniper rifle at Lin Fan.

The man who fired three shots.

If it weren't for Lin Fan's resilience, they would have lost their leader long ago.

And now, Xu Zhixia actually wants Lin Fan to seek cooperation with him.

They also want him to touch the gun again.

This doesn't sound like a solution; it's more like handing a knife back to the assassin and saying, "Please protect me."

Liu Feifei stepped forward, blocking Xu Zhixia and Lin Fan.

"Xu Zhixia, you may look like a doctor, but I think you're more like a spy."

Xu Zhixia ignored her.

She looked at Lin Fan and said, "You know better than any of us that Wang Laoliu is useful."

Lin Fan didn't say anything.

Liu Feifei gritted her teeth, "So what if he's useful? He's Yang Ningcong's man."

"Although he works for Yang Ningcong, he's not stupid."

"He knew that the biggest threat to their lives here was the snake, not Lin Fan."
