Lin Fan looked at the woman in front of him.

What she said later made sense.

But if Lin Fan's child is a monster that is neither human nor ghost, how will Su Qingxue live?

"Lin Fan!"

Just as Lin Fan was pondering, a shout suddenly came from inside the cave, the voice carrying a hint of urgency.

It is Su Qingxue.

The two immediately turned around and went back into the cave.

Su Qingxue sat next to Song Ya.

Lin Fan strode over and stopped in front of her.

"What's wrong? Is your stomach upset?"

Su Qingxue shook her head, her chest heaving noticeably faster.

"Not the stomach."

She raised her face and looked directly at Lin Fan.

"It's that face."

"Last night, when it grabbed me and ran into the woods, there was a moment when I was very close to it."

Su Qingxue swallowed, seemingly trying her best to suppress some kind of physical nausea.

"I remember now."

"That monster...it looks a bit like a human."

Upon hearing this, the two people who had just been discussing international trends in the cave immediately fell silent.

A name flashed through Lin Fan's mind, and he blurted it out.

"Wang Laoliu?"

Wang Laoliu, who jumped into the sea, couldn't have survived. If the mutation factors on the island were strong enough, or if there was something in the sea that could accelerate this mutation, there's a possibility that Wang Laoliu could become a monster.

Su Qingxue shook her head again, her tone very firm.

"It's definitely not him."

"I've seen Wang Laoliu. He has an enormous frame and is covered in thick, fleshy muscles. Even if he has undergone physical transformation, the size of his bones is still there."

"But the thing that grabbed me yesterday had a very narrow torso and sloping shoulders."

Su Qingxue gestured with her hand in the air.

"No matter how much you modify or mutate that kind of physique, it's impossible to shrink the frame of a strong man out of thin air."

Lin Fan lowered his brows.

Su Qingxue's logic is sound.

Skeletal structure is a key indicator; variations can alter muscles and skin, but it's difficult to shrink a 1.8-meter-tall strong man into a skinny monkey.

"Who does it resemble?" Lin Fan pressed.

Su Qingxue closed her eyes, and after half a minute, she opened them again.

"I can't remember the specific name."

"But the arrangement of those facial features, the height of the cheekbones, and the shape of the brow bones...it's very familiar."

"I have definitely seen that person before, or in the first few days after arriving on the island."

Lin Fan straightened up.

seen.

That means that the gray monster was once a real, living person.

He was one of the survivors who were swept onto the island.

Yang Ningcong gasped in shock from the corner, trembling like a leaf.

"Humans... they really did turn into humans... it's over... we're all going to turn into those monsters..."

Xu Zhixia ignored Yang Ningcong's breakdown.

She took a step forward. "Since it was transformed from a human."

"That means it has largely retained some human habits."

"For example, it will have its own nest, or it will go back to the place that transformed it."

Lin Fan turned to look at her.

Xu Zhixia met his gaze and finished explaining the second half of the plan that she hadn't finished talking about outside.

Yang Ningcong said there were experimental remains and alien writing on the island.

"We're huddled in this cave now, wandering around like blind men, forever on the defensive. Once we run out of food, once Qingxue's belly gets bigger, once those monsters come crawling up in hordes, it's certain death."

Xu Zhixia looked around.

"To figure out the details of this island and find a way to survive, that monster is our only breakthrough point right now."

Zhou Kai leaned on his wooden stick and came over, looking puzzled.

"Dr. Xu, you mean we should go and take down its lair? But we don't even know where it is! This island is so big, where are we going to look?"

"We don't need to go look for it."

Xu Zhixia uttered three words.

"Use bait."

The air pressure inside the cave suddenly dropped.

Xu Zhixia continued, "To bring it out."

"Lin Fan can keep up with it. As long as it grabs the bait and runs back, Lin Fan can follow behind at a distance and find its lair."

After Xu Zhixia finished speaking, everyone was speechless.

The plan is good, but who will be the bait?

The monster's attack was a real, tangible attack. If Lin Fan didn't keep up, or if the monster went berserk and tore someone apart, the bait would be meat delivered right to its mouth.

Yang Ningcong slid backward, pressing his back tightly against the stone wall, as if he wanted to embed himself into the cracks in the stone.

Liu Feifei was also trying her best to conceal her presence.

Xu Zhixia is a doctor, Su Qingxue is pregnant, and Song Ya is the first person to seek refuge with Lin Fan.

Zhou Kai is barely considered a fighter, and he's Lin Fan's number one lackey. Lin Fan won't use him to fill a hole.

Who's left?

Liu Feifei? Or Yang Ningcong?

Everyone turned their attention to Yang Ningcong.

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, even a fool could understand what was going on.

He's laid bare all his cards and revealed all his secrets; now he's just a useless bum who eats for free.

On this island, even breathing is wrong for trash.

He suddenly sprang up from the ground, took two steps forward, and rushed directly in front of Lin Fan.

He stretched both arms straight forward, wrists together.

"Come on!" Yang Ningcong's voice trembled with tears, "Tie me up!"

No one inside the cave responded.

Yang Ningcong's chest heaved violently, and the veins on his neck bulged out.

"Why are you pretending to be mute? Isn't Xu Zhixia's plan tailor-made for me?"

"I've revealed everything; I'm no longer of any use to you."

"You bunch of people, aren't you just trying to use me and then discard me, like a tool that's been used and then discarded?"

He yelled at the top of his lungs, wiping away tears with his hand, "Waaah... I'm finally showing some backbone today!"

"Anyway, we're going to die sooner or later on this wretched island!"

"Being torn apart by that monster is better than living in constant fear!"

Zhou Kai looked at Yang Ningcong, even though he had just told him a lot about the lives of rich kids.

He also promised that if he could go back, he would take Zhou Kai to enjoy himself a few times.

But he did not plead for him. He knew that Yang Ningcong would gain the most and risk the least by acting as bait.

The most perfect consumable; it's no loss if it dies, and it's a bonus if it survives.

Yang Ningcong took one last look at Lin Fan, and seeing Lin Fan's indifferent and lifeless expression, he was utterly devastated.

He turned his head, his gaze passing over Xu Zhixia and fixed intently on Su Qingxue.

"Qingxue." Yang Ningcong wiped away another tear. "If I were to die here today..."

"If any of you manage to get back alive."

"Remember to visit the Yang family."

"Tell my parents that I ruined my big toe."

"While you can still move, hurry up and have another one."

"If you can't have a baby naturally, then try IVF."

Don't count on me.

Su Qingxue's lips moved, but she didn't utter a single word.

The dying words of a wealthy young master contained no division of property, no grudges or feuds.

There's only one line about practicing the trumpet, which is absurd but somehow also has a sense of desolation.

Looking at Yang Ningcong's cowardly appearance, as if he were ready to die, Song Ya felt a mix of emotions.

In civilized society, this person was once high and mighty, and arrogant.

Now, they're not even as good as a dog.

Sunlight streamed in and shone on Yang Ningcong, making this rich second-generation seem to glow.

"What are you staring at!"

A sharp scream broke the silence as Liu Feifei jumped out and pointed at Zhou Kai.

"Zhou Kai, are you deaf?"

"Young Master Yang has already volunteered, what are you still standing there for?"

"Quickly, grab a rope and tie him up!"

Liu Feifei was so anxious she was jumping up and down. As long as Yang Ningcong was tied up, she would be safe...
