It was only when I stood on this hot beach that I finally realized: I was saved. However, for me, who can't remember everything and is alone, if I want to live on this island, I have to integrate into this group and use their strength.
So, I took the first step.
"The ......"
I, standing behind the tall man, was just about to talk to him, but unexpectedly he suddenly turned to me, sighed helplessly, patted me on the shoulder, and said:
"Char, why are you still here? Didn't we already divide into groups in front of us......"
The man paused abruptly, perhaps because of my confused expression, or perhaps because he noticed that the other group of people was gone.
"Forget it, you can follow our group and explore the north side of the island together."
North?
When he said this, I finally realized that it was in my trance that the six of them had already decided to explore in groups.
Thinking of this, I suddenly looked around anxiously, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Arthur's figure.
Luckily, she's still here, and I'm not completely isolated yet.
Arthur's presence reassured me, but the loss of my memory and relied on a woman to comfort me made me feel disgusted.
"Ouch......" I let out a long sigh.
I looked carefully at the people standing around me, and besides Arthur, there was a man and a woman—one of them was the tall man standing in front of me, and I had just wanted to talk to him. Although the man is tall, his face is slightly fat, his lips are thick and his eyes are small, he wears a pair of deep black-framed glasses, and his clothes are extremely mismatched, with red and green stitching, which looks vulgar. In short, his appearance is not flattering, and his taste is slightly strange.
The other was the little girl who hid behind Arthur and poked her head out from time to time to look at me. She was adorable, with big eyes, cherry-like lips, two short pigtails, and a butterfly-shaped whistle around her neck, and she was supposed to be about ten years old.
The girl touched her whistle, tilted her head to look at me again, and immediately ducked behind Arthur.
Looking at her playful and cute appearance, I was tempted to go over and pull off her short whistle to see if I could make a sound, but I still forgot it. After all, I'm a gentleman.
Gentleman? Am I a gentleman? I can't remember it, but I think it is.
I, looking up, accidentally met the tall man's eyes, only to notice that he had been staring at me for a long time, waiting for my reply.
My cheeks flushed slightly, feeling a little hot, and I nodded my head in favor of joining their group.
"Char, it seems that we are inseparable from each other."
Arthur stuck her tongue out at me and walked over to me, followed by the little girl who was following her.
"Who is she?"
I looked at the girl, who immediately took a step back, revealing only two round eyes, staring at my face in a daze. Arthur tapped the girl's hand twice, and the girl screamed "whining" before she stepped out, pulled Arthur's clothes, and stood beside her.
Arthur introduced to me, "Her name is Xiaoyu, and I don't know her exact name, but I've only seen her a few times in the lab. What a poor child, who didn't know what stimuli he had suffered, lost his ability to speak, was selected as an experimental subject, and was exiled to this kind of place with a few of us. ”
Her words aroused my sympathy. I crouched down and reached out to gently stroke Xiaoyu's head. Maybe it was because I was comfortable touching her, but she actually screamed "...... whining".
I laughed a little, then straightened up again, and whispered in Arthur's ear:
"That tall man, what's his name?"
Arthur followed my gaze to the man, and replied in the same whisper:
"His name is Yu Bo, and we are lucky to follow him. Don't look at him like that, he's the most knowledgeable of the seven of us. Moreover, he is said to have had the experience of surviving in the wild. ”
That red-green guy is actually the most knowledgeable of the seven of us? And also have the experience of surviving in the wild? Arthur's words surprised me, but at the same time, I was secretly lucky: it was good that I was with this group, otherwise I might not know what would have happened on such an unknown island.
"What are you still muttering? In order to survive, we must first understand the environment of this island. Don't grind, hurry up! Yu Bo, who was standing at the forefront, kept waving at us, obviously urging us.
"Let's go." Arthur glanced at Yu Bo, patted me on the shoulder with one hand, and said to me.
I gave a soft "um" and followed Arthur's footsteps behind them.
Step by step, I stepped on this sand, and the sand was hot, burning my feet through the soles of my shoes.
I raised my head and glanced at the golden sun, which pierced me so hard that I couldn't open my eyes, and even the air in front of me seemed to be drained, making me feel like I couldn't breathe.
Little by little, it scorched me and eroded me. With my head bowed and sweating profusely, I kept walking along this curvy beach.
"Wow~Wow~"
The waves roared and roared in my ears, piercing my ears one by one, and making my heart irritated.
The sea was turbulent, but the fish in it did not know its danger and rushed straight towards the reef.
I, looking at the school of fish crashing into the reef in the depths of the huge waves, suddenly an inexplicable fear came to my heart.
They flipped their bellies and glared at me one by one, and I couldn't help but step back and smash the shells with a "click".
"What's wrong? Char. Your expression...... It looks scary. ”
Arthur walked up to me, stretched out his left hand, raised my eyebrows, and gently patted me on the back.
"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."
Looking at her worried eyes, I reluctantly squeezed out a smile and pretended to be fine, but cold sweat broke out in my palms.
"Hey, I'm talking about you!" Yu Bo turned his head to look at us, his brows furrowed, as if dissatisfied.
"The forest is ahead, from now on you have to pay attention, I don't know what will be on this island, so each of you must hold the hand of the person next to you, don't let go, follow closely behind me, don't fall behind, understand?"
We looked at Yu Bo's serious expression, nodded one after another, and each stretched out his hand to take the people around us.
“……”
The moment I touched Arthur's hand, a strange man with a difficult face suddenly appeared in front of my eyes - he, smiling softly, held my hand tightly.
Tears, streaming down my cheeks.
Who is he?
Why do I cry inexplicably?
I couldn't think of anything, I didn't understand anything, I just held the hands of the people around me tightly, suppressed the emotions in my heart, and walked towards the unknown.
The fish on the seashore, dead, did not know the danger, and crashed straight into the reef......
And we are the fish.
