The next morning.

Tong Nuanwan was looking up information on the rooftop when Ke Xingyao rushed over.

"Wanwan, let's go, Shu Xuan wants us to go out and play."

"You go by yourself. I still need to look up some information."

Ke Xingyao took Tong Nuanwan's hand and pulled her up from the chair.

"Wanwan, my homework got good comments from the teacher, I really want to celebrate, and Shu Xuan happened to ask me out, I want to go, come with me~"

Tong Nuanwan thought about it and nodded. Last night, I had a dream with alligators in my head. If I continue like this, I will scare myself into the hospital.

Gu Shuxuan took them to the port, where a luxury cruise ship was parked. It was not large, but it should be no problem for dozens of people to hold a party.

"Shu Xuan, is this the cruise ship developed by Gu?"

"Yes, this is also the first cruise ship developed by Gu's company. In the future, Gu's company will not only be able to transport goods, but also people."

Last time, Ke Xingyao was scared by the giant cargo ship, so this time Gu Shuxuan specially picked a smaller one.

They waited at the port for a while, and several men in uniform came down.

After Gu Shuxuan talked to them for a while, he let them go up.

"Shu Xuan, who are they?"

"It's the customs people. Every ship has to be inspected before entering and leaving the port before it can be registered."

They walked on the deck of the cruise ship as smoothly as if they were walking on land.

"Where are we going?" Tong Nuanwan asked softly.

"It's a small island nearby. There's an undeveloped island nearby. It's very close to here. Let's go there to enjoy the sea breeze and have a barbecue."

Tong Nuanwan nodded and continued to appreciate the scenery on the sea.

The cruise ship was not very fast and it took about an hour to reach the island.

Tong Nuanwan wanted to take out her cell phone to take a picture, but found that there was no signal.

Why is there no signal? If the crocodile is here, none of us can escape.

Tong Nuanwan had a flash of inspiration: crocodile.

Tong Nuanwan took a look at the environment of the island. The humid and hot climate and dense forests were indeed suitable for crocodiles to survive.

While Tong Nuanwan was thinking, Ke Xingyao had already pulled her out of the boat.

Tong Nuanwan quickly held Ke Xingyao's hand.

"Xingyao, this place is undeveloped and there is no signal. What if there are some wild beasts? Let's stay on the boat."

"We won't go far, we'll just set up a barbecue on the beach, eat and leave."

"It smells like meat. What if it attracts wild animals?"

Ke Xingyao held Tong Nuanwan's head and looked around.

"Shu Xuan brought a total of ten bodyguards, and Fang Zhou is also here. Many people come to the nameless island for barbecues. As long as you don't go into the woods, the wild animals won't attack you."

Tong Nuanwan looked at the cruise ship, then at the bodyguards surrounding the ship, and at Fang Zhou's vigilant eyes that were alert to the surroundings.

Yes, if it was a crocodile, it would be so easy to find, and Euan He wouldn't have gone to so much trouble.

"Okay, you must tell me where you are going, and you cannot go alone."

"I hate bugs. I won't go into the woods."

They got off the boat and saw Gu Shuxuan's bodyguard lighting a cigarette on the ground.

"What are you doing?"

“Deworming.”

Tong Nuanwan set up a barbecue grill with them and placed the marinated meat on the grill.

Fruit charcoal exudes a fruity aroma without the pungent smell of charcoal.

A roar was heard and Tong Nuanwan looked back vigilantly.

"Xingyao, did you hear any sound?"

"Yes, there's the sound of oil sizzling." Ke Xingyao fiddled with the meat on the shelf with a happy smile on her face.

Tong Nuanwan chuckled. Yes, I must have heard it wrong. These days, my mind is full of crocodiles, and I am out of my mind.

While they were grilling the meat peacefully, a black shadow crawled through the woods.

Ke Xingyao handed the roasted meat to Gu Shuxuan, but Gu Shuxuan did not take it. Instead, he took a bite directly.

"It's delicious."

"Did I cook it well? I often cook meat undercooked."

"It's ripe and smells delicious."

"Then I'll give you another one." Ke Xingyao handed another lamb skewer to Gu Shuxuan.

Tong Nuanwan looked around, his mind not on the barbecue.

"Miss Jue, the meat is going to get mushy."

"Ah?" Tong Nuanwan quickly took out the meat, but seeing that one side of the meat was already burnt, she had to put it aside.

"Miss Jue, you seem absent-minded."

"Ark, I think there's something in the woods."

Fang Zhou looked at the woods behind him, but didn't see anything except a few birds occasionally flying by.

"Ms. Jue, this island is undeveloped. There may be some animals, but animals usually don't attack people. We have so many people here, you don't have to worry."

Tong Nuanwan looked towards the woods. It must be her hallucination. She had read too many romance novels before and felt that there were scumbags everywhere. It must be the same now.

With a roar, that sound rang out again. Tong Nuanwan slowly turned her head and looked at Fang Zhou.

"Ark, did you hear any noise?"

"I heard it. I'll go check it out." Fang Zhou's eyes became fierce, like a beast ready to hunt at any time. He drew the dagger from his waist and walked towards the woods.

Tong Nuanwan's curiosity drove her to follow along.

They walked into the woods and could see nothing but the fluttering of insects.

"Ouch, what is this?" Tong Nuanwan kept wiping her arms.

Tong Nuanwan followed Fang Zhou and her arm accidentally touched a big tree, but there seemed to be some mucus on the tree, which stuck to Tong Nuanwan's arm.

Fang Zhou handed over a pack of tissues and walked into the tree to take a look.

Those who work as bodyguards will go into the jungle for training before becoming bodyguards. Ark recognizes this kind of mucus as coming from the surface of snake skin.

But why do snakes climb to such a high place?

Fang Zhou looked around vigilantly and continued to move forward.

"Ark, let's not go any further."

Fang Zhou looked back and found that the beach was not far away.

"Let's walk a little further and see if we find anything. This way we can notify them to leave."

Tong Nuanwan thought about it and agreed. If she went back for no reason and said she wanted to leave, Ke Xingyao would definitely not leave given her playful personality.

They continued to move forward, but there was more and more slime on the trees, and some of the trees were even wet.

"Wait." Fang Zhou stopped Tong Nuanwan and walked forward slowly.

The way ahead was blocked by branches hanging from the trees. Fang Zhou used his short knife to pry open the branches in front of him, but the branches seemed to be protected by something hard and could not be cut through at all.

It was not until Fang Zhou removed the layer of wrapping on the branches that he discovered that there were thin steel wires inside.

"what is this?"

"Don't touch it."

Tong Nuanwan stopped and looked at Fang Zhou in horror.

Fang Zhou scratched the steel wire with the dagger, and sparks popped out.

"The power grid?"

"Yes, there should be someone here, and something is imprisoned here. We can't stay here any longer. Tell them to leave quickly."

A roar sounded again.

"Walk."

Tong Nuanwan ran in front, and Fang Zhou followed behind, looking around vigilantly.

They ran out of the woods, looking back.

"Where have you been? The meat is ready. Come and eat."

Tong Nuanwan grabbed Xingyao's arm, her face full of panic.

"Xingyao, we can't stay here anymore, let's go quickly."

Ke Xingyao wanted to say something when a roar was heard again in the woods.

But this time it was not just one sound, but a series of sounds.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the woods quietly.

There was a rustling sound in the woods, and there were continuous roars.
