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

The air inside the cave seemed to have solidified.

Wang Qiang looked down at his slightly protruding belly.

Just three minutes ago, he experienced a happiness he hadn't felt in the past few days.

The cheap, artificial meaty smell of the ham sausage, combined with the high-tech and rudimentary seasoning packets, makes it feel like a delicacy at this moment.

His stomach is now full.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

If he hadn't had that hearty meal, he might have continued to live like a zombie on the beach, relying on distilled water.

But now, Lin Fan's words were like a fire lit in his mind, amplifying his hunger for the future a hundredfold.

Three days later, starvation again? Facing that excruciating pain that feels like your guts are being twisted together again?

After they've experienced the feeling of being well-fed, sending them back to that hellish place would be worse than being skinned alive.

Liu Gang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his fleshy muscles twitched uncontrollably.

He kicked a piece of gravel away and spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"Fuck you! I risked my life negotiating with this kid down there, climbed this high cliff, and all I got down there is only enough for three days? Why should I give it to those cowardly trash on the beach who don't even dare to fart!"

Zhao Hai panicked as well.

He was originally a fickle opportunist, but now that Lin Fan had settled things clearly, he immediately felt that his life was in someone else's hands.

"How about...we hide some of it first?" Zhao Hai asked timidly. "Let's just say that Lin Fan doesn't have much supplies at all, and we've done our best..."

"Idiot." Lin Fan glanced coldly at Zhao Hai and interrupted him without any mercy.

"Do you think the people below are blind? No matter how much you carry down, there are a dozen pairs of eyes watching you on the beach. If you dare to embezzle even a single bottle of water, Chen Jian will immediately accuse you of undermining unity and incite everyone to tear the three of you apart."

Mentioning Chen Jian, Lin Fan's lips curled into a sarcastic smile as he slowly looked at Wang Qiang.

"Manager Wang, you used to be a senior executive in the company, managing a bunch of people. What is Chen Jian anyway? A spineless coward who lives off his wife. Judging from his current attitude, he seems to be having a lot of fun taking advantage of you."

Wang Qiang's face turned pale and then red, and he gritted his teeth without saying a word, but his clenched fists betrayed his anger.

Lin Fan continued to add fuel to the fire: "Didn't you guys ever think about why Chen Jian didn't come up here himself today?"

"Because he's smart, he knows there's a risk in coming up here. I have a shovel and a knife, so even if a conflict breaks out, you definitely won't come out on top."

"Of the three of you, two are troublemakers and one is brainless. So in Chen Jian's eyes, you are the best cannon fodder for scouting."

"If I kill you, Chen Jian can take the opportunity to eliminate the troublemakers and better manage the team. If you take the supplies and roll back to the beach, it will be because Chen Jian has done a good job in commanding and dispatching. He will still be the boss and the great hero who brought out the food."

Lin Fan stood up, sighed, and said, "The three of you put in your utmost effort, risked your lives, and finally brought back the resources."

"As a result, all Chen Jian had to do was stand on high ground and, under the pretext of 'so that everyone could live fairly,' give you half a bottle of water and a small piece of dry bread every day."

"Do you dare to resist? Do you dare to ask for more? Resisting and asking for more is selfishness. The dozen or so men below who haven't had enough to eat could drown you with a single spit from each of them."

"In the end, Chen Jian and Wang Lan got the lion's share of the supplies, and high-ranking people like Su Qingxue and Liu Feifei enjoyed preferential treatment."

"Who do you think you are? You're just cattle and horses on this deserted island, working for them! When the supplies really run out, the three of you will probably be the first batch of reserve food to be bled dry."

These words were extremely harsh, but like a sharp knife, they pierced precisely into the lungs of the three men.

Upon closer examination, Lin Fan's logic is simply impeccable.

If Chen Jian wasn't looking for a scapegoat, why didn't he come up himself?

He just wanted to reap the benefits without sowing, and incidentally use Lin Fan to get rid of those who didn't obey.

Anyway, Song Ya is still in his hands, so he's guaranteed to make a profit.

Liu Gang grew angrier the more he thought about it, his joints cracking as he clenched his fists: "Damn it! This son of a bitch, he's making a fool of me!"

He suddenly turned to Wang Qiang: "Old Wang, this kid's right! We absolutely can't let all the stuff go to those good-for-nothings who just sit there waiting to be fed!"

Wang Qiang's rationality had long been shattered by those few packets of instant noodles.

He was extremely greedy and selfish, and was a master of deception and cover-ups within the company.

At this moment, the reality of the deserted island and Lin Fan's top-notch PUA were clearly telling him: Chen Jian not only wanted to take advantage of them for free, but also wanted to kill them.

"Then...what do we do? We can't explain ourselves if we don't take the stuff back!"

Wang Qiang's voice trembled, but his eyes were glued to the pile of supplies, unable to look away. "We can't just go back empty-handed, can we?"

"Of course we should take the things."

Lin Fan crossed his arms, a half-smile on his face, "But it's not for them, it's for you to take yourselves."

The three of them turned to look at Lin Fan.

"You guys do the math. If half of these supplies weren't divided among twenty people, but instead were enjoyed by the three of you all, how long would they last?"

Before they could answer, Lin Fan gave the answer directly.

"As long as you don't stuff the supplies like you did before, and you're careful with them, and you also go to the beach to catch some crabs, this batch of supplies will be enough for the three of you to live comfortably on this island for a month and a half."

"Even if God is blind and the search and rescue team takes two months to arrive, you can still make it through. As for those people down there, they'll all turn into dried corpses on the beach in ten days at most."

One month!

Enjoy it all to yourself!

The allure was undeniable, and the air instantly fell silent, leaving only the heavy breathing of the three men.

The enormous profits ripped away their last veil of pretense, instantly activating the sinister intentions hidden deep within them.

A cruel, bloodthirsty glint flashed in Liu Gang's eyes.

A month? That's three people sharing it!

What if... we find an opportunity to kill those two good-for-nothings, Wang Qiang and Zhao Hai?

He can eat like that for almost half a year! At that time, not to mention Su Qingxue, even that aloof superstar Liu Feifei will have to crawl over and kneel down to beg for water.

Wang Qiang's eyes were fixed on Liu Gang, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

He knew Liu Gang, this brainless, hungry wolf, all too well.

In this lawless place, Liu Gang would definitely resort to underhanded tactics and double-crossing if he got his hands on supplies.

He couldn't fight head-on; he had to come up with a dirty trick to guard against Liu Gang, or... use Lin Fan or Chen Jian to castrate this wild boar, Liu Gang, first!

As for Zhao Hai, who was standing at the back, he was so scared that his legs almost went weak.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. If one truly wants to take everything for himself, these two ruthless individuals will be the first to sacrifice him to the heavens!

He quickly calculated in his mind how to sneak a few sausages into his pocket during the chaos, and then find a secluded cave to hide in.

The three had different thoughts, glanced at each other, and then tacitly avoided eye contact.

"But how can we enjoy it all by ourselves?"

Wang Qiang had been completely brainwashed, his mind filled with thoughts of monopolizing the supplies. Even his way of addressing Lin Fan had unconsciously changed. "Lin Fan, as long as we move the stuff out of this cave, the people down below will definitely see it. The slope is bare; there's no cover at all, we can't hide anything!"

Liu Gang chimed in eagerly, scratching his head in frustration: "That's right! If we stop halfway or hide somewhere, that bastard Chen Jian will see us from below, and he'll definitely bring his men to attack us!"

Looking at these three prey that had already bitten the bait and were still thinking about how to swallow the hook as well.

Lin Fan sat back down on the flat rock and looked at the three intellectually disabled children.

"Why can't you guys figure this out?"
