Chapter 234: A New Beginning
If I was just angry and haunted by Zheng Shuang's death, when I returned to the cabin, I knew I had to do something.
Although the wooden house burned to rubble, I did not see a single body inside.
If it weren't for the fierce battle that was experienced, no one would have imagined that just last night, at least seven gangsters had died here.
The site was so clean that it was like there was just a normal fire here.
When Wu Xiuwen saw this situation, he was also so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.
Because she knew, it meant the Gators knew we weren't dead.
Judging from their great mobility, it is conceivable that they will appear around us like ghosts at any time.
And if we kill so many of them, they will not let us go.
And I have almost nothing now.
Those weapons are gone.
I didn't even have a full set of clothes on my body.
"They're coming—" Wu Xiuwen wailed and sat weakly on the ground.
"Get up. Now you and I are grasshoppers tied to a line. We have no way out but to kill the gangsters. I held out my hand to her and said with a blank face.
"Hmm. "Wu Xiuwen also knew that he had no way out, so he had to fight with me.
We stayed at the hut for a short while, then turned around and walked towards the beach.
There's a reason the big white boat slipped away.
For I saw two boats in the distance on the sea, heading towards the islands.
That's supposed to be the search fleet that rescued us.
I'm going to find Su Jin and a few of them. Tell them the news.
Before getting on the raft, I led Wu Xiuwen to the dark hole.
"These are the treasures you want. It's all here!" I said, pointing to the wooden box on top.
"You already knew?" Wu Xiuwen looked at me suspiciously.
Then, he smiled at me.
Seemingly, she was happy with my ability to lie.
"If you help me find the Crocodiles, the treasure is yours. I said with a faint smile.
"You're not going back?" Wu Xiuwen asked with a raised eyebrow in surprise.
"Can I go back? So many people died on the island. Any country will find out. And I'm the pass now. Wherever I go, the Crocodiles will follow. I've already killed Zheng Shuang, and I don't want to kill more people. I said.
"I'm not going back. I don't want to spend my youth in jail. I don't want to be killed on the street for no apparent reason. It's all like this anyway, I'm going to be with you. Wu Xiuwen craned her neck and looked at me.
"Male and female thieves?" I scoffed.
"Sort of. People who have already died once, there is nothing to fear. Why can't you do a big one?" Wu Xiuwen became more and more proud, as if he was detached all of a sudden.
I didn't say anything more.
Because I believe that Wu Xiuwen is speaking from the heart. In the years to come, I'm afraid she's the only one who can help me.
I put Zheng Shuang's body on the raft, and then with Wu Xiuwen, rowed the raft to the island next to it.
Before the search fleet arrives and finds them, I have to convince Su Jin and Li Shanshan of the three of them. Tell them not to tell me and Wu Xiuwen about being here. Of course, I can also hide with Wu Xiuwen right now and not let those people from the search team find me.
But Su Jin will definitely not give up.
