Before the ship docked, everyone went out on deck and looked at the mysterious and formidable island: because it was uninhabited, there was not a single light on the entire island. At this time, the sky was gray, and it was impossible to see the specific appearance of the island, only a general outline. On the surface, this island is not much different from ordinary uninhabited islands. But previous rumors and sea monster attacks have given the island a terrifying appearance. No one knows what's on the island, or what has happened, and everything here is something to look forward to and fear for explorers.

Zhang Shun jumped off the boat with Hang Yi and the others, and it was already half past six in the afternoon, but the sky was as dark as night. Zhang Shun asked Hang Yi: "Did you bring a tent and fire tools?" ”

"Don't worry, it's all there." Hang Yi asked him, "What about you?" Do you want to go back to Qushan Island now? ”

"No, I'm going to explore the island with you." Zhang Shun said, "Besides, I sailed away, how can you go back?" ”

"You can come back and pick us up in a few days." Hang Yi said, "There must be unknown dangers lurking on this island. You are just an ordinary person, there is no way to protect yourself, and the critical moment will drag us down. ”

Zhang Shun knew that Hang Yi was thinking about himself, and just now on the boat, he had also seen Lei Ao's superpowers, and knew that they were not ordinary people. But he is concerned about his brother's fate and still wants to stay on the island: "Don't worry, I'm strong and will protect myself." ”

"No, if you're in danger, we won't be able to leave the island. None of us can sail a boat. Hang Yi said.

"But ......"

At this time, Han Feng said, "Let Zhang Shun stay on the island temporarily, it's so late today, and we were attacked by a sea monster just now." It might also be dangerous for him to go back now. He looked at Zhang Shun, "But you have to promise me that you will leave tomorrow morning, okay?" ”

Zhang Shun bit his lip and agreed. Several people towed the boat to the beach and moored properly. The crowd chose to camp on the beach more than 100 meters away from the sea, where the sand is relatively strong, so it is easy to 'insert' the ground nails into the ground and fix the tent. The group brought a total of four automatic tents, and Lei Ao and Han Feng stretched all four tents open. Lu Hua said: "There are two sleeping bags in each tent, it seems that someone is going to sleep outside? ”

"Didn't you count the number of people when you bought the tent?" Xina said.

"No, we've thought about it." Han Feng said, "There are nine of us, eight of us sleep in tents, and the remaining one is responsible for keeping vigil - Hang Yi, Lei Ao, Ji Kairui and I take turns. This wasn't a Hilton, and there was no way all nine of us could sleep peacefully. ”

"That's right." Xinna nodded, "But now there is more Zhang Shun." ”

"It's okay, I can sleep in the cabin." Zhang Shun said.

"Alright, now it's time to solve the stomach problem." Han Feng said, "You must be like me, you've been hungry for a long time, right?" ”

When I said that, everyone felt hungry. Jing Xiaoran asked Han Feng, "What kind of food did you buy in the supermarket before?" ”

Han Feng grabbed a bulging travel bag, unzipped it, and took things out: "Canned lunch 'meat', sausages, smoked beef 'meat', 'meat' muffins, pickled fish...... There is also mineral water. ”

Jing Xiaoran and Han Feng gave food and water to everyone together, and Lei Ao said: "The sky is getting darker and darker, while it's not completely dark yet, let's raise the fire first." ”

"But where is the wood?" Mi Xiaolu said.

"It's a trivial matter, look at me!" Leo walked towards the nearest palm tree on the beach. He loves to be in the limelight, and he is most willing to show his superpowers in front of ordinary people. He drank exaggeratedly, and shouted "Vacuum Blade!" "——The hands were 'crossed' into a cross, and with a strong swing forward, two wind blades 'shot' out, and the thick palm tree was instantly cut into three pieces.

Lei Ao cut down a few more large trees, but he encountered a problem—although his wind blade was unmatchedly sharp, it lacked 'precision' accuracy. It is not difficult to cut down the whole tree, but it is quite difficult to cut the trunk into firewood.

Ji Kairui saw Lei Ao standing in place embarrassed, knowing that he couldn't do fine work, he walked over and said, "I'll come." ”

Lei Ao got out of the way, Ji Kairui rolled up his sleeves, activated his superpowers, and turned his right hand into a sharp chai knife. He erected the trunk of the tree and cut it into several short pieces with one sword. In a few moments, a palm tree turned into a pile of firewood. Ji Kairui walked up to another larger palm tree, and his right hand magically transformed into an axe, and he cut down the tree in three or two blows, and a few minutes later, a larger pile of firewood was produced. Ji Kairui turned to everyone and said, "Tonight's should be enough." ”

No one on the beach accosted anyone, and everyone was stunned. Especially Zhang Shun, who had never seen Ji Kairui's ability, couldn't close his jaw in shock. Sun Yuchen whispered to Mi Xiaolu next to him: "This guy's whole body can be turned into a weapon, you can't make him angry in the future." ”

Everyone carried the firewood to the beach and piled up some of the firewood, and Hang Yi asked, "Where are the tools for igniting the fire?" ”

Han Feng took out a lighter from his travel bag and said, "Only this." ”

"Huh?" Hang Yi was dumbfounded, "How can a lighter light such a thick firewood?" ”

Han Feng scratched his head, it seemed that he had not thought about it properly. He said, "But what else can you bring but a lighter?" It's impossible to bring a barrel of gasoline on a plane, right? ”

"Maybe we should try to light the leaves and twigs first." Mi Xiaolu came up with an idea.

Han Feng tried to use a lighter to light the leaves, but the fire was too small, and the leaves were very 'damp' and wet because of the climate. A few minutes passed, and not even a single leaf was burned, let alone firewood. Han Feng stood up in frustration: "No way, I can't point it." ”

"What can I do?" Jing Xiaoran hugged his body, "At night, it will definitely be very cold on the island." "Actually, it's already cold right now. The average temperature here is 7 or 8 degrees lower than that of Congzhou.

Everyone was a little helpless. After being silent for a moment, I saw Han Feng throw the lighter into the wooden pile that had been erected, and seemed to give up. Hang Yi frowned and said, "What are you doing, are you angry if you don't burn?" ”

Han Feng didn't speak, just stared at the pile of firewood, and after a while, two words popped out of his mouth: "Fire." ”

The people around him didn't hear what he was saying clearly, but they saw a "boom" on the ground, and the firewood that had been erected burned in an instant, crackling, and sparks flew in all directions. The people on the beach were startled at the same time, and subconsciously scattered around, looking in amazement at the bonfire that had suddenly risen. Hang Yi asked Han Feng in confusion, "What did you do just now?" ”

Han Feng's expression was very excited, and the shadow of the fire jumped on his face: "I used my superpower!" I thought, since my ability can cause small earthquakes, I can also cause small fires! ”

Hang Yi looked at Han Feng in surprise: "Indeed...... It seems that your abilities are as varied as I am. ”

"I've always been afraid of this ability, so I've never studied it seriously. But now it seems that my abilities are not necessarily that terrible, and 'calamity' can also have good effects if used properly, such as lighting this bonfire. Han Feng said happily.

"As a word of caution, don't take it lightly. Your ability is only level 1 now, and who knows what kind of disasters you can cause after leveling up? Ji Kairui said.

"Hmm......" Han Feng pondered, "Actually, I don't really care if I am promoted or not, and I haven't thought about attacking anyone with my superpowers. Maybe it's not necessarily a good thing to be too capable, and it's bad if it's too strong to even control yourself. ”

"It's really impressive that you can say such philosophical things." Lu Hua said.

"Thank you." Han Feng smiled and immediately frowned. "What do you mean? Am I stupid in your mind? ”

"No, no...... Alright, now that the campfire is up, let's eat. Lu Hua said.

A group of people sat around the campfire, and Lei Ao took out the bamboo skewers he bought at the supermarket and skewered the beef 'meat', lunch 'meat' and sausages on the bamboo skewers. Everyone was roasting and eating, and their mouths were full of oil. After that, Lei Ao took out the canned beer and drinks and distributed them to everyone, taking a sip of wine and a mouthful of 'meat', so happy.

Lu Hua stared at Lei Ao and Han Feng who were drinking for a while, then looked at Xin Na and shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I want to be uncomfortable, but seeing them like this, it's completely a seaside vacation." I guess in a little while, they'll be dancing around the campfire. What the hell are we doing here? ”

Xina smiled: "It's not that you don't know the two of them, and you don't feel nervous at any time." Do you want them to be cautious? I'm afraid it's unlikely. ”

"Don't talk about being cautious, at least keep a certain level of vigilance." Lu Hua said worriedly, "This is not an Okinawa beach, it is an uninhabited island where disappearances have occurred, maybe danger lurks near us." ”

"Don't scare me, Lu Hua." Jing Xiaoran stopped to eat and looked around, as if some monster would rush out at any time from behind the dark coral reefs and dense woods.

"Not to scare you, we really should be vigilant." Lu Hua raised his voice, this sentence was for Han Feng and Lei Ao.

Han Feng put down the beer can and said, "It's not that I'm not cautious, it's just that if we are too suspicious, we will lose to the opponent in terms of momentum." And when it comes to vigilance, how do we actually guard against it? We don't know anything about this island. In my opinion, it is best to respond to all changes with the same. ”

"Well, I agree with what Han Feng said!" Hang Yi said appreciatively, "Han Feng, I find that what you say now is very reasonable!" ”

"Are you praising me or hurting me?" Han Feng laughed, "Didn't I say something reasonable before?" ”

Everyone laughed. Sun Yuchen said: "Tonight, it is naturally impossible for us to explore this island. What about tomorrow? How exactly do we investigate, and do you have any specific suggestions? ”

"I haven't thought about it for a while," Hang Yi said, "I think I'll familiarize myself with the terrain of the whole island tomorrow." Don't go deep into the depths of the island just yet, it's better to play steady. ”

"Well, that's it. Anyway, let's talk about it during the day. Tonight, let's get an early rest. Xina said.

After eating, everyone discussed how to distribute the tents and keep vigil. The final decision was made: Hang Yi and Mi Xiaolu lived in a tent; Lu Hua and Han Feng live in a tent; Lei Ao and Sun Yuchen lived in a tent; Xinna and Jing Xiaoran live in a tent. Zhang Shun slept in his own cabin. The first half of tonight will be kept vigil by Ji Kairui, and the second half of the night will be replaced by Lei Ao's vigil.

In one day, two flights, three boats, and several cars, a group of people were already stranded. After entering the tent, he quickly fell asleep. Ji Kairui moved a rock, sat by the campfire, kept an eye on the surrounding movements, and added firewood to the bonfire from time to time.

Surprisingly, the island is surprisingly calm at night. Not only did there be no sign of danger, but even the 'tide' became gentle. The sea 'waves' float lightly on the beach, and the sea breeze blows on the face, which makes people feel intoxicated.

However, Ji Kairui did not let his guard down. For him, this tranquility is more noteworthy than the danger – an atmosphere that breeds fatigue and relaxation – precisely the most dangerous state.

In order to refresh himself, Ji Kairui took out a set of knives he had brought with him, and used a knife to cut the firewood into sharp arrows to drive away fatigue.

It wasn't until after three o'clock in the middle of the night that it was time to 'hand' over work with Lei Ao. Ji Kairui was really a little unbearable, he walked to a tent on the far right, unzipped the tent, and shook Lei Ao awake: "It's time, let's change you to guard for a while." ”

Lei Ao was sleepy-eyed, yawned, and reluctantly came out of his sleeping bag: "What time is it?" ”

"It's past three o'clock, and there are still three hours before dawn at most, you hold on, don't fall asleep, don't forget to add firewood to the fire." Ji Kairui reminded.

"yes, got it." Leo yawned again and stepped out of the tent. Ji Kairui got into his sleeping bag.

Lei Ao came to the campfire and sat for a few minutes, feeling a little hungry. He remembered that the two large travel bags containing food were in Han Feng and Lu Hua's tent, approached their tent, gently unzipped them, and took out both bags. Han Feng and Lu Hua slept very hard, each snoring evenly, and neither of them noticed that Lei Ao had taken the travel bag beside him.

Lei Ao took the bag to the campfire and chose his favorite food inside. He took two fish sausages and a packet of pork meat and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a last can of beer. Lei Ao saw the "bamboo stick" that Ji Kairui had sharpened just now, and said with a smile, "Haha, it's just right!" "I put the sausage on the arrow made by Ji Kairui, roasted it hot and ate it. There was only one last can of beer left, and he cherished it very much, and took small sips.

Lei Ao finished his supper, and he couldn't find anything to do, and the fatigue hit again. He yawned and rested his right hand on his cheek, his eyes slightly closed, intending to take a nap......

I don't know how long it took, Lei Ao felt that someone was shaking him. He shuddered, quickly opened his eyes, and saw Sun Yuchen standing in front of him, frowning and saying, "No, right?" Are you asleep? ”

"I didn't ...... No," Lei Aoqiang cheered up, and wiped the saliva from his mouth with his palm, "I just closed my eyes and recuperated." ”

Sun Yuchen squinted at him.

"Uh...... Well, I'm asleep. However, isn't it calm and quiet, and nothing happens? Lei Ao diverted the topic, "What are you doing here?" ”

Sun Yuchen walked towards the woods: "Relieve yourself." ”

Lei Ao said, "Do you need to run so far? Isn't it okay to sprinkle it in the sea? ”

Sun Yuchen glared at him: "Tuba!" ”

Lei Ao laughed a little, thinking that it was just right, when Sun Yuchen went to the convenience, he would definitely have to stay vigilant, and he took the opportunity to rest, he returned to the posture just now and closed his eyes.

This time, he was really asleep.

Moreover, he made a mistake - the bonfire was already not burning well. He forgot to add firewood to it.

When he was sleeping in a daze, Lei Ao heard the sound of rustling nearby, and he opened his heavy eyelids, but found that it was dark in front of him. It was a long time before he realized that the campfire had burned out. The point is that he had no idea when the fire was extinguished. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that the sound he had heard in his sleep just now was very abnormal, and he immediately became alert.

Lei Ao stood up and quickly looked forward and backward left and right. At first, he didn't see anything, but it wasn't until more than ten seconds later, when his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, that he was horrified to find that there were two small green dots in front of his right side, which were about ten meters away from him.

It's a pair of eyes. And not with the human eye.

The 'hair' pores of Lei Ao's whole body contracted violently, and he stared at the thing, and the thing stared at him. In the darkness, he couldn't see the creature's appearance, only that its head was large, disproportionate to its body, on all fours, and its torso was elongated. I don't know if it's gray and black because it's night, but I can only see that the eyes are glowing green. What's even more terrifying is that Lei Ao noticed that there seemed to be something dragging on one of the hands of the thing. His scalp tightened and he exclaimed, "Ah! ”

The shout startled the thing, and it no longer looked at Leo, but turned around and ran into the woods with a staggering speed.

Lei Ao didn't know if he should chase after him, no matter how brave he was, it was not wise to go into the 'gloomy' woods alone and track down an unknown terrifying creature. As he hesitated, the thing had disappeared, except for the sound of leaves scraping as it passed through the trees.

Lei Ao's exclamation woke everyone in the tent. Ji Kairui was the first to come out, followed by Hang Yi, Mi Xiaolu, Han Feng and others also hurriedly walked out of the tent, and asked together, "What's wrong?!" ”

Lei Ao fixed his mind, and only explained truthfully: "When I was keeping vigil...... I fell asleep and woke up with the bonfire already extinguished. I noticed a strange creature with green 'colored' eyes diagonally in front of me, and it seemed to be dragging something...... Ah, there is no one missing among us, right? ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and even Zhang Shun came out of the cabin. Hang Yi said: "There is no less, a total of ten people." ”

Lei Ao breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew...... That's good. I thought someone had been kidnapped by that monster. ”

Ji Kairui glared at Lei Ao: "I reminded you not to fall asleep, and don't forget to add firewood to the fire, but you didn't do anything?!" ”

Lei Ao knew that he was wrong, lowered his head and said, "I'm so tired......"

"Alright, don't blame Lei Ao, the vigil is indeed hard work." "But you've at least found something." What the hell is that strange creature, do you see clearly? ”

Lei Ao said, "No. I could only see a rough outline, with a large head and a thin body, and slender limbs, which was very terrifying. ”

"Could it be a wolf?" Lu Hua asked.

"Absolutely not." "I can't see it, but I'm sure it's not like any creature on Earth. It looks like a giant baby as a whole, with no 'hair' on its whole body, and it is bare. ”

Jing Xiaoran snorted, looking very frightened. She and Sina were right next to each other.

Hang Yi said, "You said you saw that creature dragging something?" Since it is not human, what would it be? ”

"I don't know......" Lei Ao shook his head blankly. After a while, he suddenly let out an "ah", and hurriedly searched for something around him. Everyone doesn't know. After a long while, Lei Ao shouted: "Oh no, the travel bag is gone!" Both are gone! ”

"What, travel bag?" Han Feng was stunned and said, "You mean the two travel bags that contain food?" ”

"That's right!"

"Didn't those two bags be placed in my tent and Lu Hua's?" Han Feng said.

Lei Ao said embarrassedly: "I was hungry during the vigil, so I quietly took out the bag, found something to eat, and then did not put it back. ”

"You mean, the monster stole both travel bags while you were asleep and the campfire went out?"

"It can only be like this......"

Han Feng anxiously slapped his big 'legs': "All the food and fresh water are in those two bags!" What should I do? I told you to keep a vigil, but it didn't work! ”

Lei Ao was also angry: "Then you want to try?" I'm not made of iron, can I not doze off? You don't see how dead you sleep! ”

"Alright, stop arguing!" Hang Yi said, "Is it useful to blame each other now?" Let's think about what to do. ”

"Yes, anyway, it's lucky that people weren't attacked by that monster." Sina comforted.

"The monster may not have gone far yet, or we may be able to snatch the bag back if we chase it into the forest." Sun Yuchen said.

"It's not proper," Lu Hua shook his head, "It's not dawn yet, it's too dangerous in the woods." And we don't know if the monster is powerful or how many there are in the woods. In case of siege, it will be suffered. "The attack of the mutant rat swarm in the other space has made Lu Hua's heart palpitate until now.

"What time is it?" Mi Xiaolu asked.

Hang looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Ten past five in the morning." ”

"It will be dawn in a while, Lu Hua is right, let's not act rashly. After all, it's just food, and you can't risk your life. Mi Xiaolu said.

"Or ...... After dawn, you will go back to Qushan Island with me, and after replenishing supplies on the island, come again? Zhang Shun proposed.

Hang Yi shook his head and said, "If you encounter a situation and return, you will never want to explore the depths of the island." ”

"And what do you think?" Xina asked Hang Yi.

"I'm sure there will be fresh water on the island, and there will be some wildlife," Hang Yi said. With our abilities, hunting is a breeze. In this way, you don't have to rely on food and water to survive on the island. ”

"I'm for it." Mi Xiaolu said.

"Well, it seems like that's the way it is." Lu Hua said.

After such a thing, everyone did not feel sleepy. Everyone re-lit the bonfire and sat around as they watched the horizon separate from the distant sky.
