Desert Island Survival: A Hundredfold Improvement After Having a Baby?

"people?"

"That's all, just the few of us."

"As for danger..." Lin Fan shrugged. "That snake is probably the top predator on this island. Once we deal with it, there's basically nothing that can threaten us."

This answer is half true and half false.

So far, he hasn't found any creature more threatening than that giant python.

As for the person who killed Wang Lan... he didn't need to tell Wang Laoliu.

After listening, Wang Laoliu did not immediately express his opinion.

He thought for a moment, then said, "You've got a pretty good plan."

"If you want to settle down here and become a local tyrant, this deal will be a sure win for you."

"But for me, I don't plan to live here long-term. Once the rescue arrives, I'll go back."

"That snake just ate two people, so it definitely won't come out anytime soon. I just need to gamble that the rescue will arrive before that beast comes out."

Lin Fan looked at the last glimmer of hope in Wang Laoliu's eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Heh heh heh, a rescue?"

"Wang Laoliu, I didn't mean to discourage you."

"But since you asked, I'll be kind and tell you a little-known fact."

Wang Laoliu looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't say it directly, "The rescue isn't coming."

Wang Laoliu's pupils contracted slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is," Lin Fan paused for a moment, "that we, and all of you, can't go back."

Yang Ningcong, who had just retreated into the crevice, also heard it. He suddenly poked his head out, his face full of horror.

"You're talking nonsense! Lin Fan! What rubbish are you spouting now!"

"The PLB beacon is still flashing! My dad will definitely send someone to rescue me! And it will be the best rescue team in the world!"

Lin Fan didn't even bother to look at him; his gaze remained fixed on Lao Liu's face, still remembering the purpose of his trip.

Only by persuading Wang Laoliu can they survive here.

Lin Fan didn't explain the strange magnetic field; that was too mystical, and someone like Wang Laoliu wouldn't believe it.

He chose a more impactful and irrefutable argument.

"The southernmost point, you've heard of it, right?"

Wang Laoliu frowned, not understanding why Lin Fan suddenly brought this up.

Antarctica.

"Yes, Antarctica." Lin Fan nodded. "Did you know that there's an ice wall several hundred meters high surrounding the Antarctic continent?"

Wang Laoliu's expression changed.

As a mercenary who has carried out missions around the world, his knowledge of geography and some military restricted areas far surpasses that of ordinary people.

The massive ice wall that encircles the Antarctic continent is described in many unofficial sources as a natural barrier, the end of the world.

"That tsunami... completely shattered the cruise ship we were on."

"That wave swept us very, very far away."

"So far... we may have already crossed that ice wall."

Upon hearing this, Wang Laoliu's mind went blank.

Did we get past the ice wall?

He knew better than anyone what this meant.

That means they are no longer on the known world map.

They entered a completely new and unknown territory that no humankind had ever set foot in before.

Seeing his utterly shattered worldview, Lin Fan continued to deliver the final blow.

"Think about it, do you think it's so easy to get over that hundred-meter-high ice wall?"

"It's a miracle that we were swept away and survived."

"But do you want to be swept back again? Do you think that's possible?"

"Moreover, beyond the ice wall, there may still be endless seawater, and then the island beneath our feet."

Lin Fan shrugged.

"Who knows how big this new ocean is? And who knows how many ice walls we've crossed, maybe two, maybe three or four?"

"So, do you still think rescue can reach this place?"

"They didn't even know that such a place existed on Earth."

After Lin Fan finished speaking, only the sound of waves crashing on the beach remained, one after another.

Wang Laoliu stood frozen in place, the sniper rifle in his hand making him feel utterly unsafe for the first time.

He turned his head and looked at the boundless sea.

One second ago, this sea represented hope, the civilized world, and the place where rescue ships might appear.

Now, this sea has become an insurmountable prison, completely isolating them from the past.

Yang Ningcong was dumbfounded in the crevice of the rock.

Lin Fan waited a full minute, until Wang Laoliu had recovered slightly from that devastating blow.

He then spoke again.

"So, killing that snake wasn't for my sake."

"It's for us."

"In order to survive safely on this island."

"This island is very large and has sufficient resources."

"After that snake dies, we will be the masters of this place."

"With your skills, it won't be a problem for you to carve out a piece of land here and support yourself."

"You live your life, I'll live mine."

"We keep to ourselves and don't interfere with each other."

As a mercenary who had struggled to survive in various desperate situations, Wang Laoliu's mental resilience far exceeded that of ordinary people.

After a brief breakdown, the instinct for survival quickly took over.

Whether what this kid said is true or not, that snake is a threat.

"If you don't believe me, you can wait... wait until that snake comes out again, and see if your so-called rescue has arrived..."

"But don't blame me for not warning you, if you're not well-prepared, the next snake might be targeting..."

Before Lin Fan could finish speaking, Wang Laoliu interrupted, "Tell me your plan."

Lin Fan took two steps forward and then stopped.

"There's something on you that makes me uncomfortable." Lin Fan's gaze fell on the hilt of the short knife at Wang Laoliu's waist.

"Cooperation is all about sincerity."

"Throw that thing away before you hear the plan."

Wang Laoliu's eyelid twitched.

Make him throw the knife?

This knife has been with him for almost ten years, from the rainforests of Africa to the deserts of the Middle East, saving his life more than once.

This is part of his body.

Without his knife, he was essentially crippled in close combat, as if he had lost an arm.

He threw away the knife; what if this kid tricked him...?
