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

Lin Fan sheathed his knife.

The man walked over and squatted down next to Xu Zhixia.

He placed his hand on Xu Zhixia's pulse, paused for a few seconds, his expression remained unchanged, but he squatted down much faster than before.

"He's lost too much blood; if this drags on any longer, even a miracle won't save him."

The man looked up at Lin Fan and said, "I'll take her away. A month from now, I'll give you a lively and energetic Xu Zhixia back."

Lin Fan stared at him without saying a word. If Xu Zhixia was also experimental data...

However, if this person wanted to harm Xu Zhixia, they would have done so long ago, not waited until today.

Su Qingxue tugged at Lin Fan's hand, her palms were sweaty.

Lin Fan looked down at Xu Zhixia.

She had completely passed out, her face devoid of color. He sheathed the knife behind his back and turned to the side.

"If you dare to hurt him, I'll make sure you suffer even more than he did."

Without saying a word, the man gave Xu Zhixia a quick bandage and then waved towards the city gate.

Two people ran in, carrying a stretcher.

They moved swiftly, lifting Xu Zhixia onto a stretcher, securing her, and heading outside.

The man stood up and followed behind the stretcher.

"stop!"

Zhang Ming rushed out from behind half of the stone wall.

His face still showed the blankness he had felt while being controlled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he had just woken up not long ago.

"Are you all stupid?!" Zhang Ming pointed at the man's back and roared at everyone present, "He's that doctor on the island! All that talk about disaster, beastmen, and these three superhumans—he created them all! You're just going to let him take them away like this?"

Zhang Ming turned to look at the city wall and shouted, "Fire! Kill him!"

No one moved.

The surviving bodyguards were either lying on the ground or leaning against the wall; no one had the energy to pay them any attention.

"Captain Luo! You can't..." Zhang Ming looked at Luo Zhong, trying to get Luo Zhong to give the order.

Lin Fan spoke first, "He's not a PhD."

Zhang Ming turned his head. "What did you say?"

"I said, he's not a PhD."

Zhang Ming glared at Lin Fan. "How do you know? Have you met that doctor?"

Lin Fan glanced at him. "The news about the danger in the cave came from the doctor."

Zhang Ming was stunned, and the others also looked at Lin Fan.

This news was a complete surprise to them.

"I recognize the doctor's voice." Lin Fan glanced at the man walking out. "It's not the same person."

Zhang Ming opened his mouth, but before he could reply, Lin Fan said something else.

"besides."

"Xu Zhixia was arrested before. If he's a PhD, why was he released?"

Zhang Ming was speechless.

"If he were a PhD student, Xu Zhixia would have been kept in the lab long ago. Why would she need to come here and stage this father-daughter reunion?"

Lin Fan spoke calmly, laying out the facts one sentence at a time.

Zhang Ming stood there, his expression shifting several times. He knew he couldn't find a rebuttal, but he was unwilling to give up.

"Even if he's not the doctor," Zhang Ming took two steps forward, "he's lived on this island for so long, he must know everything about it. He knows where the lab is, where the doctor is."

Zhang Ming pointed to the outside of the city gate, "Keeping him here and forcing him to talk is a million times more effective than letting him go."

The man stopped and turned around.

He looked at Zhang Ming, but didn't get angry. He just glanced down at Xu Zhixia on the stretcher.

"It's too dirty here," the man said calmly. "Her injury can't be delayed for even a second."

Everyone present understood that these words were directed at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan turned to look at Zhang Ming, whose back went numb from that look, but he remained stubborn.

"What does Xu Zhixia's life or death have to do with me? She's not a member of the Su family. Why should I gamble the Su family's safety on her life?"

The moment those words were spoken, the air in the courtyard seemed to cool down.

Luo Zhong leaned against the stone wall, his face ashen.

He leaned against the wall to stand up, clutching the injury on his shoulder, and limped over.

"Zhang Ming."

Zhang Ming turned to look at him, "Captain Luo..."

"Bang!"

Before they could react, Lin Fan kicked Zhang Ming in the stomach, sending Zhang Ming flying a long distance.

Lin Fan held back his strength when he kicked, and Zhang Ming felt as if his internal organs had been cut open.

Lin Fan glanced at Luo Zhong, his gaze sweeping over the remaining bodyguards present.

"According to him, you are members of the Su family, and have nothing to do with me."

Luo Zhong raised his head.

"Then can I kill you all too?"

After those words were spoken, no one uttered a sound.

Luo Zhong opened his mouth, as if to explain something.

"Luo Zhong," Lin Fan interrupted him, "What are you trying to say? That you're the young lady's people? That you're loyal to her?"

Luo Zhong shut his mouth.

You know better than I how things got to this point.

Lin Fan glanced at the corpse on the ground. "The bodyguards were controlled, and they killed each other. Two women rushed to the front with daggers to block the blows, and what were you guys doing?"

No one dared to speak.

"What were you doing when Xu Zhixia stuck a syringe into that man's neck?"

Still no one speaks.

"I have already given you the chance to be decent human beings."

Lin Fan walked up to Zhang Ming and looked down at him.

Zhang Ming knelt in the mud, his head bowed low, barely daring to breathe.

"You don't want to be human, you just want to be dogs. Fine, then be dogs."

Lin Fan shifted his gaze from Zhang Ming and scanned the remaining people.

"From now on, if anyone doesn't know how to wag their tail, just say so."

The courtyard was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard. Lin Fan didn't look at them anymore.

"Qingxue, Zhou Kai, come with me into the cave."

Su Qingxue hummed in agreement, sniffed, and turned to walk into the cave.

He took two steps, stopped, and looked back at the city gate.

The man had already led Xu Zhixia into the woods. The white gauze on the stretcher swayed twice in the green vegetation and then disappeared from sight.

Su Qingxue looked away.

……

The stench of blood had not yet dissipated from the cave.

Xiao Qian was carried to a stone platform at the back, lying face up. Her chest was covered in bruises, and her breathing was so shallow that you had to put your ear close to hear it.

Su Qingxue stood to the side without saying a word.

Two doctors brought by the Su family squatted down beside Xiao Qian, one examining her ribs and the other rummaging through her medicine box.

It didn't handle things as skillfully as Xu Zhixia did; it looked more like an internship.

"Three ribs are broken, two on the left and one on the right." The older doctor withdrew his hand from Xiao Qian's chest, wiping the ointment off his hands. "Her lungs didn't rupture, her life is saved."

Su Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you have to lie down for at least half a month, and you can't even turn over."

Xiao Qian's eyelids twitched, and her lips moved, but she didn't make a sound.

"Don't talk." Su Qingxue squatted down and placed a folded cloth under Xiao Qian's head.

Xiao Qian looked at Su Qingxue, opened her mouth, but couldn't help but say, "Wu Hui..."

"She bumped her back while she was outside, but she has the ability to heal, so you don't need to worry about her."

Xiao Qian nodded.
