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

Zhou Kai kicked Zhang Tao to the ground. "Zhou Kai...you're fucking crazy..." Zhang Tao cursed with a pained expression.

Zhou Kai didn't even glance at him.

He turned around and strode to the edge of the slope, then picked up a rock weighing over ten kilograms from the ground with both hands.

Chen Jian kept his eyes fixed on the top of the slope. The moment he saw Zhou Kai emerge and lift the boulder, Chen Jian's composed demeanor shattered instantly.

"Zhou Kai! Don't do anything reckless, let's talk this out!" Chen Jian shouted sternly, his feet instinctively taking a step back.

A ruthless glint flashed in Zhou Kai's eyes.

His arm muscles bulged, and using the strength of his waist, he slammed the rock down in the direction where Chen Jian was standing.

Chen Jian's pupils contracted, and he made an extremely awkward lunge to the side, rolling twice on the rough sand.

"boom!"

The stone slammed down on the spot where Chen Jian had just been standing.

The other male employees were also frightened and scattered, completely losing the momentum they had shown when they were about to charge.

Zhou Kai stood on the edge of the cliff, pointing down at Chen Jian and cursing loudly.

"Fuck civilized society! Fuck Su Qingxue!"

"Chen Jian, you gigolo who lives off Wang Lan, now you're acting all high and mighty in front of me?" Zhou Kai spat fiercely. "A written agreement? What are you going to use to make one? Your big mouth that talks nonsense!"

"I'm putting my words on the table today!" Zhou Kai pointed back at the interior of the cave, "The thing is up there! Come and get it if you dare! If one comes up, I'll smash it to death! If two come up, I'll smash them both to death!"

"Until Lin Fan returns, no one is allowed to touch a single drop of water here! Even if he dies in the woods, this territory is mine to call today!"

Chen Jian got up from the ground, patted the dirt off his body, and looked up at the cliff top platform.

The terrain there is too treacherous.

Without equipment or weapons, charging in head-on would make you a sitting duck.

"Engineer Chen, what do we do now?" An employee swallowed hard, his voice trembling. "We can't get up there, and there are monsters in the forest. If those monsters come out, we'll have no way to survive; we'll just have to wait to die."

Wang Qiang kicked a sandy spot in exasperation, "Chen Jian, you always act like you're Zhuge Liang, but now you're not going to say a word!"

Chen Jian lowered his eyelids, concealing the coldness in his eyes.

If he can't get to the top and can't get the supplies, all the resentment of the people on the beach will come back on him.

Wang Qiang is a brainless idiot, but such an idiot is capable of anything when he's starving.

We need to find them an outlet for their frustrations.

Chen Jian raised his head and looked at the edge of the primeval jungle on his right.

"Do you remember when we were on the slope just now, someone went down?" Chen Jian's voice was unusually calm.

Wang Qiang was taken aback. "You mean Song Ya?"

"Yes." Chen Jian pointed in the direction of the jungle. "She didn't take any water, just a stick, and walked towards the woods."

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's she doing over there? Is she looking for trouble?"

"That's not important." Chen Jian turned around, looked at Wang Qiang and the remaining male employees, and a nauseating smile appeared on his lips. "What's important is that she's alone now."

"We can't take the supplies from up here; we can't go back empty-handed. Everyone's been exhausted and hungry these past few days, and they're all feeling the pinch, aren't they?"

Chen Jian gestured with his chin towards the grove of trees. "Song Ya is a pure and innocent young actress. Now she's on a deserted island, with no police and no surveillance. If she gets dragged away by a monster, who will know how she died?"

Wang Qiang was startled.

He glanced at Chen Jian, then at the men around him.

The hunger, fear, and humiliation of the past few days were quickly filled by a twisted and evil thought.

If you can't get food, taking a woman to relieve your pent-up desires is a great form of compensation.

"Send a few people." Wang Qiang swallowed hard, his eyes gleaming. "She's a woman, she can't walk fast alone, bring her back."

Four male employees immediately stood up, rubbing their hands together, and eagerly made their way towards the edge of the jungle.

Chen Jian stood there, watching their retreating figures, and gave a cold laugh.

One woman is enough to calm the volatile tempers of these idiots. It's a very good deal.

……

At the top of the cliff, inside the cave.

Chen Jian's men completely withdrew, and not a trace could be seen on the beach.

Zhou Kai stood at the edge of the platform, breathing heavily.

On this island, violence and ruthlessness are always more effective than reason.

After a long while, he turned around and strode back to the deepest part of the cave.

He unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and tilted his head back to gulp down three large mouthfuls.

The cold water rushed down my esophagus into my stomach, and my empty internal organs contracted sharply, followed by a feeling of comfort.

He sat on a rock by the fire, his gaze fixed on the blinding white sky outside the cave entrance, only one question swirling in his mind.

Zhang Tao.

This guy was about to hand over the supplies.

Even though he kicked you over, the kind of person you kick today might verbally submit, but he'll hold a grudge. One day, while you're asleep, he might just grab a rock and hit you from behind.

Zhou Kai is not afraid of direct confrontation.

What he feared was the attack from behind.

But killing Zhang Tao? That won't work either.

He was the only one guarding this cave. During the day, it was alright; he could just throw stones down from his vantage point.

But what about at night?

He needed to sleep all the time. He had to keep an eye on the pack of hungry wolves below and guard against wild beasts that might suddenly appear from the direction of the jungle. Eighteen eyes wouldn't be enough to keep up.

For the first time, Zhou Kai felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

It's not about physical strength.

It's that kind of despair where "you've held your ground, but you know you can't hold it for long."

He thought of Lin Fan.

When that person is around, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

How to distribute supplies, how to set rules, how to maintain the fire, how much to eat and what work to do—all of these decisions were made by Lin Fan alone.

All he and Zhang Tao needed to do was obey orders, work, and then eat their fill.

How simple.

What now?

Lin Fan may have died in the woods, and Song Ya went to her death as well.

In the vast cave, only he and a useless person who might betray them at any moment remained.

If only Lin Fan hadn't died.

Then all this messy stuff has nothing to do with Zhou Kai. He just needs to honestly move crabs and throw stones, and then follow Lin Fan to get a piece of meat.

Damn.

Zhou Kai tightened the screws on the water bottle and put it back in its original position.

He turned and glanced at Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao was squatting next to the pile of supplies.

He was moving both hands at the same time.

With his left hand, he tore open the packaging of a bag of ham sausages, while his right hand had already pulled out a second one from the cardboard box.

He stuffed the whole sausage into his mouth without even chewing it, his cheeks puffed out like a toad's, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down as he forced it down.

The second one was inserted immediately afterward.

Then comes the third one.

With oil and bits of meat still on his lips, he ripped open a bag of biscuits and reached in with his whole hand.

Zhou Kai frowned as he watched him eat.

"Zhang Tao".

Zhang Tao kept talking, and mumbled a reply, "Hmm?"
