The Captain and His Four Female Warriors
Despite appearing strong throughout the ordeal, Chen Mo could still sense the weariness on Su Wan's face after the fright she had just experienced.
The intense fluctuations in mental state caused by short-term stimulation can indeed easily make people feel tired.
After letting Su Wan rest in the tent for a while, Chen Mo returned alone to the shallows where he had previously killed Wang Jianqiang.
The long spear standing upright in the seawater clearly marked the location of Wang Jianqiang's body.
After concentrating on his surroundings and confirming that no one else was nearby, Chen Mo took off his combat uniform and the alloy armor underneath, and stepped into the sea wearing only a pair of shorts.
Walking up to the spear standing in the water, Chen Mo reached out, grasped the spear shaft, and pulled it out with a slight upward force.
With Chen Mo's precision and understanding of the human body, the spear accurately avoided the bones when it pierced Wang Jianqiang's body, so the spear tip was not damaged and remained very sharp.
Chen Mo bent down and put Wang Jianqiang's body into his spatial storage, then took the spear and walked into the sea.
Meanwhile, in Chen Mo's camp, in a spacious military tent, Su Wan lay on a large and comfortable air mattress, smelling the faint scent left by Chen Mo on the bed, and slowly drifted off to sleep peacefully.
Two hours later, at the survivor camp.
It was almost noon, and the survivors, who had been busy all morning, returned to the camp one after another with the food they had gathered.
After most of the people returned, they discovered that Wang Jianqiang and Su Wan were still missing.
It's normal for Su Wan to be back late, but Wang Jianqiang usually returns to the camp early to rest, and it's rare for him to be late.
Captain Zhao Jianmin looked at Li Zhongheng, an elderly man who was staying at the camp because he was feeling unwell.
"Old Li, have those two come back before?"
The old man's face was somewhat pale, and he didn't seem to be in good spirits. Upon hearing this, he simply shook his head slightly and didn't say anything.
Upon learning that neither of them had returned to the camp, Zhao Jianmin felt inexplicably uneasy. Recalling the strange look Wang Jianqiang had given Su Wan when he had accidentally bumped into him, Zhao Jianmin had a bad feeling.
"Oh no, Su Wan might be in danger!"
Having experienced the incident involving the three foreigners, Zhao Jianmin is very sensitive to such matters. He does not want a similar incident to happen again, but given the current unusual situation, his guess is very likely to come true.
"Did anyone notice which way Su Wan went this morning?"
Zhao Jianmin asked anxiously.
"Sister Su Wan said she's going to catch crabs in the shallows to the west!"
Zhang Xin, whose face was flushed from the sea breeze on the island, also sensed something was wrong upon hearing this. Remembering what Su Wan had told them that morning, she quickly stood up and said something.
Xu Qing, who was standing to the side, was a beat slow to react. She only realized what was going on after the other person finished speaking, and then quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, yes! Sister Su Wan told us about it this morning!"
Zhao Jianmin nodded upon hearing this and looked at everyone seriously.
"Everyone, grab your spears, let's go find her!"
He still remembered that when the three foreigners snatched the canned food from the two little girls, he was injured and powerless to stop them. He was completely unaware when Zhang Lan and Xu Shan were kidnapped, which made him feel very guilty ever since.
As the captain, he had an obligation to take care of all the survivors and protect their safety after the plane crash. However, he had suffered a serious head injury and was in a daze and very weak. If it weren't for their care and sharing of their meager food with him, he wouldn't have survived until now.
So now, no matter what, he must bring Su Wan back safely, and he just hopes that it won't be too late!
After Zhao Jianmin finished speaking, he turned around and pulled out a long spear from the side of the tent. This was a spear that they had specially made to guard against the three foreigners, and each of them had one.
Zhang Lan and Xu Shan followed behind Zhao Jianmin and picked up their spears without hesitation. As crew members, they also had a responsibility to take care of all the survivors.
For the three of them, although the plane had crashed, the deserted island was now their plane, and they would do everything in their power to ensure that every passenger returned home safely.
Zhang Xin and Xu Qing exchanged a glance, then quickly ran back to their simple tents, took out their respective spears, and stood beside Zhang Lan.
If that big bad guy dares to bully Sister Su Wan, we'll fight him to the death!
Zhao Jianmin held the spear, looked at the two determined-looking girls, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and did not stop them.
Wang Jianqiang was, after all, a professional bodyguard. He wasn't really sure himself. He was just relying on his belief that having two more people would provide more protection. If things really turned out as he suspected, and they failed, the two girls would also be unable to escape Wang Jianqiang's clutches. It was better to go all out now.
Turning to Li Zhongheng, the last remaining old man in the camp, Zhao Jianmin looked at his pale face and said with concern.
"Old Li, just wait at the camp, we'll be back soon."
Li Zhongheng knew what Zhang Jianmin was worried about, and he actually had some guesses in his heart.
Wang Jianqiang's attitude towards him has been getting worse lately, completely unlike his previous respect and obedience. He could understand this, though; survival was already so difficult, who cared about who the Chairman was? But he never expected Wang Jianqiang to be so audacious.
He did want to go with them, but his physical condition simply wouldn't allow it, so he could only nod helplessly and whisper to the group.
"Careful!"
Time was of the essence, and there was no time for idle chatter. Zhao Jianmin nodded to the old man, tightened his grip on the spear, and prepared to lead the four women behind him to the shallows on the west side of the island.
Guitar had no idea whether this trip would be dangerous or not. If it was the worst-case scenario, all he could do was fight with all his might, even if it meant dying together with Wang Jianqiang, to ensure the safety of everyone else!
They had barely stepped out of the camp when they noticed two figures walking towards them from the opposite direction.
Zhao Jianmin stopped in his tracks and looked at the two people slowly walking towards him in the distance. Was he overthinking things? Did they just happen to be late?
The four women following behind him also looked puzzled.
As the two slowly approached, the expressions on the faces of the group changed. One of the people walking towards them was Su Wan, but she was not wearing her original clothes. Instead, she was wearing a black military combat uniform that was much larger than usual.
The tall figure walking alongside her, a head taller than her already slender frame, was not Wang Jianqiang!
This man carried a spear on his shoulder, similar to the ones they were carrying, and wore the same black combat uniform as Su Wan. However, his tall and strong physique made the uniform look completely fuller, unlike Su Wan's loose and baggy clothes. The outline of his well-developed muscles was faintly visible under the clothes, exuding an oppressive power.
On his head, he wore a strange, pitch-black steel mask, giving him a cold and mysterious aura.
Judging from his physique alone, this person could not possibly be Wang Jianqiang.
Although Wang Jianqiang was also very strong, even more robust than the person in front of him, he was definitely not that tall.
Zhao Jianmin couldn't help but raise his spear and point it at the tall figure that was slowly approaching. He didn't know whether this mysterious person who had suddenly appeared was friend or foe.
Where did Wang Jianqiang go? Why did Su Wan change her clothes? And who is this mysterious person? All sorts of questions lingered in Zhao Jianmin's mind. Having experienced everything that had happened before, he couldn't help but be careful when faced with this mysterious person who suddenly appeared.
As the two drew closer, they saw each other more clearly, and the pressure on Zhao Jianmin grew. This mysterious stranger looked like a formidable opponent.
If Wang Jianqiang didn't show up because of him, wouldn't that mean he's even more powerful than Wang Jianqiang, and that the five of them would probably have a hard time dealing with him?
If he were to harm them, he might have no choice but to fight back.
Just as Zhao Jianmin was making up his mind, Zhang Xin suddenly spoke up from behind him.
"BLACK MAN?"
Zhang Xin's tone was somewhat uncertain, but more than that, it was filled with an undeniable excitement.
"Uncle?"
As Xu Qing watched the two figures approaching, the tall figure beside Su Wan gradually overlapped with the blurry image in her mind, making her eyes light up with excitement.
"It's him?!"
Zhang Lan and Xu Shan immediately reacted when they heard the two women's exclamations. Although they had been quite frightened that night, and it was also very dark, making it difficult to see clearly, the figure in front of them now matched their vague memories very well.
There shouldn't be anyone else on this island; it was he who rescued them from three foreigners that night!
Zhao Jianming finally learned the identity of the newcomer, and his guard lessened somewhat. However, he still did not put down his spear. Without confirmation, he was still uneasy and could not risk everyone's safety.
Finally, Su Wan and her companion arrived in front of the crowd. Seeing them carrying spears and preparing to go out, the two of them thought for a moment and guessed the reason and their plans. Su Wan felt a warmth in her heart, while Chen Mo looked at Zhao Jianmin, who was pointing a spear at him, without taking it seriously.
Su Wan, who was standing to the side, quickly stepped forward to explain.
"Captain, put the spear down immediately!"
She only had a rough idea of Chen Mo's personality and didn't really understand him. Given Chen Mo's previous decisive and ruthless behavior, she didn't know if Chen Mo would be angry about it, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him and explained the whole story.
Upon learning that Wang Jianqiang really intended to harm Su Wan, everyone was furious. However, when they heard that he had been killed by Chen Mo, they breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Mo with gratitude mixed with awe.
It's not that they were afraid of Chen Mo; on the contrary, they were filled with gratitude towards Chen Mo. Whether it was providing them with food or appearing in time to rescue them in times of crisis, Chen Mo could be considered their savior.
They simply felt an instinctive sense of awe towards Chen Mo, who was mysterious, powerful, and appeared extremely cold-blooded, having single-handedly killed four bad guys on the island.
Chen Mo keenly sensed the complex gazes directed at him and the meaning behind them. He could understand this; in his view, it was humanity's instinctive reverence for life, respect for those who give life, and fear of those who take it away.
However, two people showed no fear. They were staring intently at Chen Mo with their big, dark eyes. These were the two little girls that Chen Mo had rescued from the plane.
After Su Wan's explanation, everyone learned about Chen Mo's identity and what he had done for them, and they couldn't help but feel a heartfelt gratitude towards him.
Chen Mo nodded without speaking, and then put down the spear he was carrying on his shoulder. Only then did everyone notice that a huge sea fish was stuck in the spearhead that Chen Mo was carrying on his back.
