Hearing the little girl's aggrieved cries from the woods, Chen Mo thought he had been discovered, until he saw the two of them squat down again to continue catching crabs, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

These past few days, Chen Mo has been thinking about how to hand over the food to them without arousing suspicion.

He wanted to test their Mind Stone, not their survival skills. Although a difficult survival process was inevitable, he didn't want them to starve to death before they had completed the test.

He still needs to intervene when necessary, at least to ensure their basic survival.

However, the island is less than one square kilometer, and with more than a dozen people gathered together, Chen Mo had to be very careful to hide himself and had not found a suitable opportunity.

Now everyone else has gone back, and only these two little girls are left on the beach.

Chen Mo looked at the two people squatting on the beach, intently catching crabs, and a smile appeared on his lips.

This is a good opportunity, and it also allows us to test these two little ones.

After a while, it gradually got dark, and the two had no choice but to stand up and head back with their meager haul.

After walking along the beach for several dozen meters, the two suddenly stopped at the same time.

A single pack of compressed biscuits lay forlornly on the beach.

While Xu Qing was distracted, a small crab pinched her hand hard with its pincers. She cried out in pain and released her grip, causing the crab to fall to the ground and scurry away.

Ignoring the fleeing crab, the two on the beach exchanged a glance, their faces filled with surprise, not only for the precious food, but also because it confirmed their suspicions: there really was a Black Man!

When the two girls returned to the camp, everyone was surprised to see the cookies in their hands. The two girls did not reveal their guess, only saying that they found them on the beach. Everyone was just envious of their luck and had no other thoughts, after all, it was the young girls who found them themselves.

The two of them already found very little food each day, so it was good that they managed to find some food by chance.

However, the two of them didn't eat it themselves. There were two compressed biscuits in the bag. They shared one and were almost full. The other one was given to Su Wan and the flight attendant who often took care of them.

The three women originally didn't intend to accept the food and told them to save it for tomorrow, but the two women were very confident and said they would find more food tomorrow, so they insisted that the women accept it.

The two girls were adamant, so the three of them had no choice but to accept the food. However, they couldn't bear to eat it and carefully put it away, planning to return it to the girls when they couldn't find anything else to eat.

However, there was obviously no need for that anymore. After that, the two of them would often find compressed biscuits and canned food washed ashore by the waves. Although there were only one or two packs each time, it was enough to keep them from going hungry every day.

Strangely, there were no markings on the packaging, and it wasn't an in-flight meal. People speculated that it might have been carried in a passenger's luggage and ended up in the sea after the plane crash.

Of course, the two of them didn't just wait for God to give them food. They still worked hard to find food every day. Every time they found an "airdrop", they would keep just enough for the two of them and share the rest with the flight attendants.

With these two unexpected "hunting kings," the bodyguards' spearfishing skills also became more and more proficient. They caught a few fish from time to time, and with the food they found at the beach, they were finally able to ensure their basic survival needs and not have to go to bed hungry every day.

Apart from the two women, no one else had such luck, which everyone could only attribute to divine favor.

Although the two were very lucky, no one was jealous.

After all, they were the youngest and had the weakest survival skills. They found the least amount of food, and generously shared the rest with the other two girls, just enough for themselves. In a way, the other two girls benefited from the girls' kindness.

Even if they ate all the food they found themselves, no one else could say anything, since they were the ones who found it, and the three foreigners never shared the fish they caught.

This is understandable. Everyone is a complete stranger, struggling to survive on this deserted island. It's good enough if they can survive themselves, who has time to care about others?

And so, a group of plane crash survivors managed to survive on the deserted island, while Chen Mo, like God, hid in the shadows, occasionally dropping airdrops to feed them and ensure they wouldn't starve.

With basic food supplies secured, the group was able to focus on building shelters.

Although it was relatively warm by the campfire, it could get quite cold when the wind was strong, and it would be terrible if it rained, as they wouldn't be able to start a fire again once it was extinguished.

Lighters are not allowed on the plane, so none of them had any kindling. They had heard of making fire by friction, but actually doing it was another matter.

With everyone working together and helping each other, they managed to build several makeshift shelters in half a day.

Of course, the three foreigners did not stay with them. With plenty of food, the three found another open space near the water source the next day, kept a distance from them, lit another campfire, and set up their own shelters. There was almost no communication between the two sides.

Perhaps in their eyes, these people are all old, weak, sick, and disabled, and staying with them would only be a burden. It would be better to break away directly. With their survival skills in the wild, it wouldn't be difficult for them to hold out until rescue arrives without these people dragging them down.

Indeed, this was the case. If Chen Mo hadn't secretly "airdropped" food to them, their lives would have been very difficult, and it would have been a real question whether they could have survived until the rescue arrived.

But with Chen Mo feeding them, and with the strength of many people, these elderly, weak, sick and disabled people actually lived better than the three outdoor enthusiasts. Although they couldn't eat their fill every meal, at least they had a stable food supply every day and didn't have to worry about going hungry.

The three foreigners, however, were different. Even with their rich survival experience, they couldn't guarantee a catch every day by fishing alone; sometimes they wouldn't catch a single fish all day.

That day, the three of them had bad luck. They worked all day but only caught a few small fish, not enough to fill their stomachs.

The sun was setting, and the three of them dejectedly went ashore, only to see two little girls find two more cans of food on the beach.

Looking at the few small fish in their hands, the three of them were instantly envious. We worked so hard to catch a few small fish in the sea, while these two little girls could easily find two cans of food on the beach.

The three exchanged glances and saw the same answer in each other's eyes.

The two little girls caught a lot of crabs today, and they even found two cans of food on their way back. Everyone will be able to have a good meal tonight!

Just as I was happily preparing to continue walking back, I was suddenly blocked by three foreigners.

Meanwhile, back in China, the search and rescue operation for the crashed flight is on the minds of people across the country.

A week has passed since the plane went missing. The search and rescue operation was launched in full force on the day of the crash. The country has deployed a large number of personnel, aircraft, ships and satellites to conduct a surface search in the sea area where the plane crashed. However, a week has passed and the plane has still not been found.

Meanwhile, the investigation into Zhou Tianhao's murder has made little progress.
