Zhang Tao, who was in the corner, also pricked up his ears, wanting to know what those sounds were all about.

Lin Fan walked to the rock, sat down, took out a bottle of mineral water, and took a swig.

"Chen Lili and the others are dead."

Zhou Kai wasn't actually surprised by the result; he just swallowed curiously: "Dead? The screams in the woods just now were them?"

"right."

Lin Fan casually tossed the water bottle onto the ground.

"They stepped on a nest of mutated red imported fire ants."

"The toxins kicked in, causing anaphylactic shock, and they all died within ten minutes. Now, there's probably not even a few bone fragments left."

Zhou Kai gasped.

Red imported fire ants.

Ten minutes of physical exorcism.

He imagined the scene of countless tiny creatures being torn apart and embedded in his flesh, and felt his scalp tingle and goosebumps rise all over his body.

But he immediately realized an even more fatal problem.

"Brother Fan, how come you're alright?" Zhou Kai couldn't help but ask the question that had been nagging at him.

Everyone went in together, so why did those people die so tragically, while Lin Fan was able to stand here unharmed, even returning with two large bags of supplies?

Lin Fan raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhou Kai.

His eyes were extremely cold and unfathomable.

"Because I was the one who pointed out that road to them, and I knew from the beginning that there was an ant nest there."

These words were spoken.

Zhou Kai froze on the spot, his head buzzing.

Zhang Tao, who was sitting in the corner, was so frightened that he froze into a stone statue and forgot to breathe.

Do you know where the ant nest is?

Knowing full well that it was a dead end, they still pointed out the direction and let Chen Lili and the others go there!

It was a classic case of using someone else to do the dirty work, and he killed six people in one go.

Even in civilized society, not even a gang leader would be this ruthless.

Lin Fan looked at their pale faces, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Yesterday, Chen Lili and five others conspired to put on a show and fool me like I was an idiot. They thought their clumsy acting skills could fool me."

"Song Ya even needs my permission to drink a sip of water, how dare she steal my cookies?"

"After they used Song Ya, they wanted to use her as a scapegoat."

Lin Fan stood up, his tall shadow looming over him, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"These ungrateful wretches will stab someone in the back for a mere bite of food. They'll sell me out for other benefits tomorrow. Instead of keeping them around, they'd be better off as fertilizer for the forest."

Lin Fan looked at Zhou Kai and said, "I've said it before, I set the rules on this island. Anyone who breaks the rules or recklessly tests my bottom line will pay the price."

"In this lawless place, I don't even need to lift a finger; I can just use my words to make those cunning people disappear without a trace."

Lin Fan's voice turned completely cold.

"You two, did you understand?"

Zhou Kai clenched his teeth tightly, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

Lin Fan had long seen through Chen Lili and her group's scheme.

Just kick them out? That's too lenient on them.

Do it yourself? One person killing five people is something this lowly intern probably wouldn't be able to do.

Let them go to their deaths, so they don't get their hands dirty, and incidentally, give the living a show of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

"Understood." Zhou Kai's voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with unwavering reverence.

Zhang Tao is now filled with deep regret.

He was feeling aggrieved, thinking it was unfair that he was beaten up for sneaking a few bites of food.

Looking back now, Lin Fan's punches just now were practically a mercy from a living bodhisattva!

If it weren't for his strong physique and the fact that he still had some value as a laborer, he would probably be like those stupid women, having his brains chewed up by some unknown monster!

"Song Ya," Lin Fan said, looking at the venison, "come here, cut a few slices of the hind leg meat and grill them."

However, there was no response.

Lin Fan stopped what he was doing, turned his head and glanced at the shady corner, which was empty.

Where are they?

Zhou Kai swallowed hard and pointed outside the cave: "Brother Fan... she just went down there, saying she was going to find you in the woods."

"Looking for me?" Lin Fan frowned slightly.

"When we heard those screams coming from the woods just now, we all thought you..." Zhou Kai didn't dare say the word "dead." "Song Ya heard the noise, grabbed a fire poker, and rushed down, saying that even if she died, she would die with you."

Lin Fan's eyes flickered.

He looked at the two bags of supplies on the ground, then at the blinding sunlight outside the cave.

If the two of them, one going up and one going down, are taking the same path, they will definitely bump into each other.

But he did not return the way he came.

He simply didn't trust the two people left in the cave. On a lawless desert island, food was the original sin.

If he stays away long enough, Zhang Tao and Zhou Kai will definitely waver.

So on his way back, he deliberately took a detour to a waste disposal site on the east side of the cliff.

That was a dead corner where trash was washed up by the waves after the cruise ship broke up.

He searched there for half an hour and found several thick medical tourniquets and some sturdy metal tubes.

That's material for making crossbows.

Stone can only defend, and he needs a weapon that can reap lives from a distance.

"How long has she been down there?" Lin Fan stood up, his hand already touching the hilt of the knife at his waist.

"It's been... about twenty minutes." Zhou Kai glanced at Lin Fan's face. "Brother Fan, didn't you run into him on the way?"

Lin Fan didn't answer, and strode to the edge of the cliff. It would be troublesome if Wang Qiang and his men caught him.

He leaned halfway out to look down.

And then what he feared most came to pass.

on the beach.

A dozen or so people formed a semicircle. In the center of the crowd, Song Ya was pinned to the sand by two male employees with her arms tightly bound behind her back.

Wang Qiang stood in front of Song Ya, his smile extremely lewd.

"Run? You fucking keep running?" Wang Qiang slapped Song Ya across the face. "Stop pretending to be a virtuous woman! Lin Fan is already dead in the woods. From now on, you're our dog, understand?"

Song Ya turned her head away, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were fixed on Wang Qiang, without uttering a single word of begging for mercy.

Zhou Kai strode to the edge of the cliff, peered over the edge, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

"It was Chen Jian's gang..." Zhou Kai gritted his teeth. "They couldn't get through and didn't manage to grab any supplies, so they took their anger out on Song Ya."

Zhang Tao peeked out from behind and, seeing this scene, blurted out, "It's over. Those wolves have been waiting for so many days. If Song Ya falls into their hands, she'll be lucky to escape with her life."

Lin Fan turned around and told Zhou Kai to guard this place.

Zhou Kai paused for a moment, then glanced at the dozen or so people on the beach below.

"Brother Fan...you're going down alone? There are more than a dozen of them."

Zhou Kai grew anxious. "Besides, that bastard Chen Jian is incredibly cunning. They've definitely laid an ambush down there. If you go down now, you'll be a sitting duck. Otherwise, let's devise a detailed plan."

Lin Fan knew he couldn't wait; every second he waited increased the danger to Song Ya.

Looking at Song Ya, who was tied to the driftwood and unable to move, Wang Qiang could no longer suppress the greed and evil fire in his eyes.

"Brothers, let me start by having a little fun, and after I'm done... hehe..." Wang Qiang didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

Chen Jian glanced at Wang Lan. He had the desire but not the courage. Song Ya's looks were a good deal for Wang Qiang.
