Lin Fan simply smiled at him; there was no need to pay attention to the words of a dead man.

Anaphylactic shock occurs precisely within ten seconds.

Two bodies fell one after the other at the edge of the anthill.

A red wave immediately surged up and engulfed them.

On the open ground, several fallen bodies, covered by ants, have turned into five slowly wriggling red mounds.

In some places, the clothing had been chewed through by ants, revealing the skin underneath, which was covered in pustules and corroded by toxins.

three minutes.

The whole process should take no more than three minutes.

The screams went from hysterical to hoarse and broken, to intermittent sobs, and finally to complete silence.

Lin Fan continued to bend down and use the knife to process the roe deer's hind legs.

He cut off the entire tenderloin from the back with steady movements.

The meat was wrapped in banana leaves and stuffed into the largest woven bag left by Lily and the others.

Lin Fan straightened up and patted the mud off his hands.

He hoisted the woven bag full of venison onto his shoulder and picked up another bag full of bananas with his right hand.

He walked back the way he came without looking back.

The dense forest behind them returned to its original state.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the tree canopy, casting warm dappled patterns on the fallen leaves and anthills.

The years are quiet.

In addition to the massive anthill that was slowly crawling and covered by millions of mutated red imported fire ants, there were five more organic matter supply stations that were being decomposed.

Below the cliff, in a crevice in the rock.

Chen Jian stared unfocusedly at the hermit crab shell, about the size of a thumb, in his hand.

He had sucked the shell clean, but his tongue was still unconsciously licking the inner wall, trying to squeeze out the last bit of protein residue.

Wang Qiang lay sprawled on a rock a few meters away, his lips as white as two pieces of wax paper, constantly licking the corners of his mouth that were cracked and bleeding.

The crowd was as quiet as a sandy graveyard.

No one speaks.

Talking is a waste of breath.

Just then...

The sound came from the direction of the jungle.

Human screams.

It wasn't just one person.

Several people.

As the sounds rose and fell, everyone's movements froze simultaneously.

The oyster that Wang Qiang hadn't pried open fell to the sand with a "thud," and he didn't even realize that his hand had let go.

"Did you hear that?"

An employee stood up and pointed in the direction of the jungle.

"It's coming from the woods! It's coming from the woods!"

All eyes turned to the dense, primeval jungle that blocked out the sky.

The screaming lasted for about a minute or two.

There was a brief interruption for a few seconds in the middle.

Then he got up again.

This time it was even more horrific and desperate, as if something was cutting a living person's body piece by piece.

Then, it came to an abrupt end.

It's not gradually weakening.

It was interrupted suddenly.

It was as if the mouth that was supposed to make the sound had been blocked by something.

Utter silence.

Even the rhythm of the waves crashing against the rocks seemed to slow down by half a beat.

On the beach, everyone looked at each other, not daring to breathe.

Because that scream was so heartbreaking.

The silence lasted for almost a minute.

Wang Qiang was the first to "come back to life".

He shuddered slightly at first.

Then, the muscles at the corners of my mouth began to spasm uncontrollably.

That kind of spasm is not a convulsion.

The long-suppressed fear and humiliation dissipated, and the immense sense of relief directly distorted the facial nerves.

"ha."

A short syllable popped out of his throat.

Then comes the second one.

"Ha ha."

The third.

"Hahahaha!"

Wang Qiang laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

He laughed so hard he was doubled over. "Serves him right! I curse his ancestors! What goes around comes around! Karma!"

Wang Qiang slapped his thigh, making a loud thud, and the sand was shaken up and smeared all over his face, but he didn't bother to wipe it off.

"Lin Fan! You think you're so capable? You think you can do anything, from flying to diving? You think you can lead people into the mountains to hunt wild game?! You've been eaten by a monster now, haven't you?! Hahahaha!"

He laughed so hard he was shaking, and tears were almost streaming down his face.

"What did I tell you?!" He pointed at everyone present, his finger trembling. "What the hell did I tell you?! This kid was courting death! Doesn't he know what kind of monsters are in that forest? Were those giant lizards that were several meters long just for show? He even brought people in! Now look what's happened! Heaven has punished him!"

He laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up, bending over with his hands on his knees.

Laughter echoed across the empty beach.

The fear had been building up for too long.

The humiliation had been building up for too long.

From being kicked away by Lin Fan and spitting out half a mouthful of bile, to being smashed on the spot and bleeding profusely while raiding someone's base, to being chased by more than a dozen people by Komodo dragons until they all wet their pants, and now to huddled on the beach eating hermit crab shells and barely surviving.

All the pent-up frustration and crushed dignity found an outlet at this moment.

The other employees also wore smiles of relief, as if they had just escaped a disaster.

Some people even collapsed on the beach, lying on their backs, letting out a long, relieved sigh.

"Then...does that mean...?"

An employee got up from the sand, swallowed hard, and his eyes gleamed with an uncontrollable light.

"Supplies at the top of the cliff..."

These words acted like a fuse, instantly igniting the interest in everyone's eyes.

Correct.

Lin Fan is dead.

Above the cave, only three people remain: Zhang Tao, Zhou Kai, and Song Ya, who is completely defenseless.

Three useless people with absolutely no fighting ability.

So much bottled water, so many self-heating hot pots, so much instant noodles and canned goods.

"Shall we go or not?" another employee asked, licking his chapped lips. His voice was hoarse but couldn't hide his excitement.

"The monitor lizard came out from the woods yesterday, but there's been no movement here today... Maybe the monster chased Lin Fan into the woods... It's empty up there now..."

"Damn it! What are we waiting for!"

Wang Qiang stood up, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His fear was completely overshadowed by greed.

The thought of the supplies piled up like small mountains on the cliff top made his blood boil.

"Engineer Chen! Say something!"

All eyes were on Chen Jian.
