Desert Island Survival: A Hundredfold Improvement After Having a Baby?
Chapter 46 If I'm dead, do I need that little bit of money to buy a coffin?
Following his finger, Sister Liu looked at the ball of fire, which had a deadly attraction in the darkness.
She gritted her teeth and stood up as well: "I'll go with you."
Their actions attracted the attention of those around them.
Wang Qiang's eyes widened instantly, and he pointed at them, cursing, "Are you all crazy? Can't you see President Su is still sitting here? You ran off to that little punk, have you no shame?"
Su Qingxue raised her head and looked at Old Zhao and Sister Liu.
"I've said it before, if you leave this team, never come back. Rescue could arrive at any time, and if you go up now, don't even think about returning to Jiangcheng."
"The company will report your shipwreck, but your families won't receive a single penny."
Old Zhao stopped and looked back at Su Qingxue.
This usually aloof female CEO, though trying her best to maintain her dignity, appeared utterly ridiculous in Lao Zhao's eyes.
"President Su," Old Zhao forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, "I'm already dead, do you think I need that little bit of money to buy a coffin?"
Sister Liu chimed in, "President Su, you have 30 million to buy a barbecue restaurant, and it's in a prime location. We don't have that much money."
After saying that, the two ignored the shouts and curses behind them, supported each other, and plunged into the raging wind and rain outside.
"They've rebelled! They've completely rebelled!" Wang Qiang jumped up and down in a fit of rage. "President Su, look at these two ingrates! They collect your salary from the company all year, but when it really matters, they run to the opposite side! This is a slap in your face!"
Su Qingxue didn't speak, but bit her lip tightly and stared at the two figures as they left.
Her fingers were clenched so tightly inside her sleeves that they turned white.
She will make them regret it. When the rescue team arrives, she will make them beg her to let them onto the plane.
When they return to Jiangcheng, they will beg her not to fire them.
As soon as Lao Zhao and Sister Liu stepped out of the crevice, they were knocked off their feet by the force of the wind.
The wind is too strong.
A gale-force wind of level eight or higher is strong enough to knock an adult off their feet.
The cold rain and hail stung my face like knives.
The path leading to the cave is less than a hundred meters long. But it is a steep slope covered with loose gravel and mud.
Old Zhao walked in front, using both his hands and feet, while Sister Liu followed behind, tugging at the hem of Old Zhao's clothes.
"Slow down... Old Zhao, I can't see the road..." Sister Liu wiped the rain off her face and cried out.
"Grit your teeth and hang in there! We're almost there!" Old Zhao shouted, encouraging Sister Liu and also cheering himself up.
If you can climb up, you can survive.
Lin Fan, being a fellow worker, wouldn't stand by and watch someone die.
Just then, an extremely strong gust of wind swept past.
The wind direction was blocked by the mountain, creating a strange shear airflow that hit the two of them directly.
The stone that Old Zhao was standing on, which had already been loosened by the rain, could no longer bear his weight and broke with a "crack".
Old Zhao suddenly lost his balance and fell backward.
"what!"
He instinctively waved his hands, trying to grab something, but only managed to grab a handful of pebbles.
Sister Liu, who was following behind, was bumped into by him.
Before the two could even scream, they were reduced to rolling gourds, tumbling down the steep slope.
The rubble tore their clothes and skin, and blood mixed with the rainwater flowed down, only to be washed away completely.
The people living in the crevice of the rock watched this scene unfold.
Old Zhao and Sister Liu bounced a few times on the slope before crashing heavily onto the rocks at the bottom.
Immediately afterwards, a huge wave crashed in.
After the tide receded, the reefs were empty.
Apart from the sounds of wind and rain, there was no other noise from the crevice in the rock.
Dozens of people stared blankly at the empty reef, their breaths catching in their throats.
This is the second time they have faced death since being stranded on the desert island.
"Gulp."
Someone swallowed hard.
Wang Qiang was the first to react. He was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly pointed outside and burst into extremely shrill laughter.
"Hahaha! Did you see that? This is what happens when you betray President Su!"
"You two idiots! Instead of enjoying the perfectly good crevice in the rocks, you insisted on licking that poor loser's stinky feet! Now look what happened! You're feeding the fish in the sea!"
Wang Qiang turned and shouted at his terrified colleagues hiding in the crevice, "Look carefully! This is the price of disobeying orders! President Su is a very lucky man; only by following President Su can you survive! Anyone who dares to have any disloyalty will suffer the same fate as Lao Zhao and the others!"
Those who had originally intended to go up and try their luck all turned their heads back.
Fear completely overwhelmed the desire for warmth; going up there would mean certain death, but staying here at least meant I was still breathing.
The wind howled outside, and hailstones pelted the rocks with a crackling sound.
Chen Jianlei's windbreak wall was half blown down, and the pile of fire worth tens of millions was teetering on the brink of collapse under the ravages of wind and rain.
In a frenzy to get a spot near the fire, the crowd shoved and jostled each other like madmen.
Taking advantage of his size, Wang Qiang managed to push Xiao Sun from the personnel department to the outermost edge of the field.
"Brother Qiang, don't push! I can't take it anymore..." Xiao Sun was shivering from the cold, and his voice was trembling.
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm cold too!" Wang Qiang kicked Xiao Sun in the leg and huddled tightly next to Su Qingxue.
Xiao Sun was kicked to the edge, and the icy water mist splashed directly onto his face.
He tried to squeeze back, but Zhang Tao, whom he usually bullied, deliberately stretched out his arm and blocked him firmly. "Zhang Tao, what are you doing! I'll dock your performance bonus when we get back!"
Zhang Tao sneered, "Let's talk about it when you get back alive!"
Su Qingxue, wrapped in her half-dry coat, gritted her teeth.
Her prized asset, the promise of 30 million, couldn't even buy half a night's warmth in the face of this cold wave.
Extreme cold shot up from the soles of my feet, freezing my blood.
She curled her body up to the limit, her mind filled with the fear of freezing to death.
……
The night was long, seemingly without end.
As dawn broke, the raging winds that had been blowing all night finally subsided, and the torrential rain stopped.
There were no birdsong, no roaring waves, only heavy and faint breathing.
The fire endured until the wind and rain stopped, finally burning out the last piece of firewood, leaving only a small, glowing ember.
Chen Jian brushed the dust off his hands, took two steps back, and sat down next to Wang Lan.
"We're out of firewood," he said calmly.
Wang Qiang watched helplessly as the last bit of flame went out completely, and he was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
He reached out to brush away the charcoal ash, but his hand was burned and blistered as soon as it touched the ash, causing him to shake his hand in pain.
"Chen Jian! President Su spent thirty million! You took the money, where's the firewood?!"
Chen Jian didn't even lift his eyelids: "The money bought you last night's fire, not a lifetime guarantee. Want to roast yourself? Go get some yourself."
Su Qingxue opened her eyes, her eyelashes covered in frost.
She tried to move her fingers; her joints were stiff and painful. She survived.
She exhaled a long breath of white air and stood up, supporting herself against the stone wall.
Turning around, the scene before her forced the acid in her stomach to come up.
