Living on a deserted island, the cold female president regards me as king

"Captain, at this point, if we want us to rush back to the entrance of that cave, even if we try our best, it will be too late, right?"

Another team member threw a question at me.

What he said is correct, there are probably less than three hours before the night falls, and there is nothing wrong with my words, but with their current physical condition, even if they risk their lives, they cannot catch up before dark. to the cave entrance.

but……

If you don't go, there is only one dead end.

On rainy nights, we couldn't make a fire, so we couldn't resist the attacking man-eating beetles. If we continued to stay here, we would only become food for those beetles in the end.

Give it a go, at least there is still a chance.

"So, do you want to live?" I asked.

Life and death, this topic has always been heavy, especially at this time, it makes everyone's chest suddenly sink, as if a huge rock is pressed on it.

"That's what I said."

After being silent for a long time, one of the team members laughed dumbfoundedly and said, "Of course we want to live, otherwise, we would have shot ourselves to enjoy ourselves."

The others bowed their heads when they heard this.

Yes, in all honesty, who would want to die if they could live?
"Then trust me again."

I said in a deep voice, carried the team member who was still running a high fever on my back, fixed it firmly with a rope rubbed out of clothes again, and stretched out my hand to several other team members.

"Come with me."

"go!"

Several people looked at each other, forcibly cheered up, and stood up unsteadily.

I turned around with a smile.

The moment I turned around, the smile on my face disappeared, I looked up at the sky, the night is coming soon, I hope, the few people left can really live...

The hope of escaping from birth was crushed again and again.

Even for me, the originally indestructible belief was inevitably shaken.

I've prepared for the worst.

If there is really no other way, then I can only leave a few of them behind and just protect myself...

People, after all, are selfish.

Although, from the very beginning, I didn't want anyone to die in front of me, but the reality is the reality, one team member after another fell down, and in just three or two days, only these five people remained.

And they are only a short distance away from the scythe of death.

I'm not a god, I can't save everyone, maybe even a single person.

I have done my best.

But if I have to in the end, I can't sacrifice myself for them. That would be too stupid. What's more, even if I choose to sacrifice myself under certain circumstances, they probably won't live long...

Two-phase trade-off, I think, I have done what I should do.

For the rest, leave it to fate.

It was muddy all the way.

The humus and soil were soaked in rainwater and turned into extremely sticky mud. Every step I stepped on, I felt as if my feet were being held by countless hands. Feet out.

The road of less than two kilometers is more tiring than farming.

Even my physique is different from that of ordinary people, and I feel a little weak, not to mention the four players behind me.

"Huh...huh..."

Their heavy and heavy breathing kept ringing behind me.

Occasionally, when I look back, I can see their shaking bodies, as if they are about to fall at any moment.

I know it.

They have been exhausted for a long time, but what they need is not rest, what they need is food, their bodies are already consuming the protein in their muscles to provide energy for their actions...

However, the impact of extreme hunger is not only the consumption of muscles, but also confusion and decreased responsiveness.

Even hypoglycemia can make people faint.

Pfft!
Sure enough, not long after, some team members couldn't support their shaking bodies and fell face up in the mud.

Looking back, his chest was heaving violently when he fell down, and his breathing was extremely rapid.

He was struggling to stand up, but his extremely hungry body didn't have any energy to provide him with the strength to stand up.

Several other people noticed him who fell down though.

But now everyone is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. Those team members have tried their best to barely maintain their figure. How can there be extra strength to help him?
I gritted my teeth and wanted to just leave like this.

But when I saw that he was still struggling in the mud, I turned around and helped him up: "Be careful..."

I could see the gratitude in his eyes and his slightly parted mouth.

I know, he wants to say something, but there's no need to...

Polite words or something will not help our current situation. Instead of having the strength to speak, it is better to save the strength and use it to travel.

He understands my thoughts.

So after asking, he just nodded with a wry smile, took a few breaths, lowered his head, and hurried on his way.

I stood still and glanced behind me.

Now the sky has completely darkened, and it is time for those beetles to appear, but we are at least four or five kilometers away from the entrance of the cave. I just hope that we will not encounter those damn insects when we are on our way... …

Otherwise, when the time comes, they will be too busy to take care of themselves, and the whole army may really be wiped out.

But it shouldn't be so unlucky.

I walked quickly towards the few people in front, while comforting myself in my heart. Creatures such as insects generally rely on smell to track their prey, or to communicate with the same kind, but now the big rain.

The rain will cover the breath from us to the greatest extent.

Shouldn't those bugs notice it?
Maybe?

Too much worry is useless, so I didn't think too much about it, and I came to the front of the team in a few strides.

The only thing we can be thankful for now is that this path has been opened up by us before.

Save me the trouble of opening the way.

After walking for more than half an hour, we were getting closer and closer to our destination, and this time, I also clearly felt that we did not go back to the open space again, which, barely, can be regarded as a place in this situation. a good thing...

puff.

But just as we were advancing, there was the sound of someone falling behind me.

Looking back, he was still the teammate who fell before, but this time, he fell better than before, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

Ugh……

A few other people were only on their way, I shook my head, and stopped in front of him.

"Hold on a little longer."
