I'm excited.
If we can truly establish contact with the outside world, then I can send Shangguan Yao and the others back first, and it will be more convenient for me to stay here alone to search for others.
Zhuo Ya often chats with me, and she also yearns for the outside world.
Taking this opportunity, I can also send Zhuo Ya and her mentally ill mother out together. With the current advanced medicine, her mother can definitely be cured!
This will not only satisfy her wish to see the outside world but also allow her to have a happy family again, killing two birds with one stone.
Thinking further, the secrets hidden on this island will be fully revealed in front of the powerful state machinery!
The various rare fruits and mutated ferocious beasts on Wuming Island have high research value. Once the news spreads outside, it will surely cause a sensation in human society.
At that time, it might be another great breakthrough in human history!
But sometimes, fate likes to give people hope, and then cruelly extinguish it!
As time passed, my hopeful heart gradually sank.
Because the radio transmitted no valuable sound.
Was I thinking too ideally?
I was disappointed. I don't know where Wuming Island is in the ocean. There might be no human activity nearby.
Seeing that the radio did not respond for a long time, the skinny woman also became anxious. "Is this machine useful or not! It's not broken, is it!"
Gu Linina remained calm in the face of the skinny woman's doubts.
Her hands steadily adjusted to different channels, and she said calmly, "Since this machine can be powered on, it is not damaged. You can't rush things. There are many channels, and we need to test them one by one to be sure."
"Moreover, we don't even know our current location, so it's not so easy to contact the outside world."
Gu Linina's words temporarily appeased the skinny woman, and I nodded in my heart.
My evaluation of Gu Linina's performance improved.
I can understand the skinny woman's reaction. When a normal person suddenly finds themselves in a strange and dangerous environment, they will instinctively vent their emotions, which is human instinct.
It is very rare for someone like Gu Linina to remain so calm in such an environment!
Throughout history, those who have achieved great things, both ancient and modern, generally possess the ability to remain calm in dangerous situations.
I plan to observe Gu Linina carefully.
If we can't establish contact with the outside world, I can consider bringing this woman into our team. She will definitely be a great asset to us.
I don't know yet that this woman is far more complex than I can see... kuAiδugg
...
The sun gradually set, and night was about to fall.
The telegraph machine still had no response, only the noise of static electricity came from it.
I no longer held any hope of contacting the outside world.
Gu Linina's face showed no change. She carefully turned off the machine and said, "It's getting dark. Let's stop here for today."
At this moment, the two small groups, the man with glasses and the perverted man, had already started fires to cook their instant food.
The aroma wafted over, and Zhuo Ya couldn't help but swallow.
Seeing Zhuo Ya's reaction, the skinny woman looked at us with a dark expression. Her already unattractive face now looked even more hideous.
"If you want to eat, go ask others. We don't have much food left, so we can't share it with you!"
I glanced at the skinny woman coldly. Seeing her slender body guarding the tent like a hen protecting her chicks, I found it amusing.
Truly, "you cannot speak of ice to a summer insect."
Some people's perspectives are so narrow.
Anyone with eyes could see that although I and Zhuo Ya were travel-worn, we were well-equipped and did not look like people who would starve.
Only short-sighted people like the skinny woman would think that we needed to beg others for food to survive.
I didn't intend to take the little food these three had anyway. Seeing the skinny woman's behavior, I was too lazy to bother. I turned and walked out with Zhuo Ya, finding a large rock not far from the survivors' tents to sit on.
Originally, I had planned to take Zhuo Ya back to the cave.
But now that I had discovered the extraordinary woman Gu Linina, and she still had a radio receiver, I decided to stay here for a few more days.
Zhuo Ya took out a flint from her body and collected some firewood from the forest to start a bonfire.
I sat by the fire and looked in the direction of the survivor team.
The man with glasses and the perverted man were huddled together, discussing something, and occasionally glancing in our direction.
I could tell these two were not discussing anything good. If they dared to play any dirty tricks, then don't blame me for showing them that all schemes are futile in the face of overwhelming power!
As I was thinking, my thoughts suddenly drifted to the nests of the Blazing Birds in the mountains.
It's quite lucky for this group of survivors. Judging by their appearance, they haven't been attacked by wild beasts in the forest for the past two days, nor have they seen the shadow of one of the apex predators of this land –
the Blazing Bird!
However, in the past two days, when Zhuo Ya and I passed by the Blazing Bird nests, we discovered many young Blazing Birds.
Summer should be the breeding season for Blazing Birds. To ensure the normal growth of the young, adult Blazing Birds will expand their hunting range to find sufficient food.
I estimate that within two days, the Blazing Birds will come to attack here, following the scent.
While I was contemplating, Zhuo Ya was not idle either. She took out the dried rabbit meat we had stored from her backpack, threaded it onto sticks, set up a rack, and placed the meat skewers over the fire to roast.
The aroma of the meat skewers drifted towards the survivors' camp on the evening breeze...
