Zhang Yue was wearing simple blue jeans and a white shirt, paired with a pair of black sneakers and carrying a backpack. She looked like an ordinary college student. However, her delicate face and elegant manners revealed a unique temperament. Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, slightly curled, and exuded a faint fragrance. Her eyes were bright and deep, as if hiding endless wisdom and courage. At this moment, she was standing in a strange land, tears blurred her vision, and she felt helpless and scared. She cried out loudly: "Where are we? Am I going to die here?" Her voice was full of despair and sadness, which made people feel distressed.

Lin Xi carefully observed the woman's feet and found a deep wound on her ankle with blood constantly flowing out. She quickly took out the first aid kit from her backpack, cleaned the wound with disinfectant, and bandaged it.

Despite the gentle movements, the woman couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

"Don't be afraid, my name is Lin Xi, he is Ye Chen, we will help you." Lin Xi introduced and comforted her while handing her a bottle of water.

“Drink some water and take a rest first. We now need to find a safe place to wait for rescue.”

The woman gratefully took the water, and after taking a few sips, her emotions calmed down a little.

"Thank you, Lin Xi. I don't know what I would do without you." She looked at Lin Xi gratefully, tears in her eyes.

While checking the surroundings, Ye Chen said, "We collected some things before the plane crashed. Lin Xi, take a look and see if there is anything that can be used."

Lin Xi opened the simple package and said, "There is a small knife, some gauze and matches, but the matches are all wet."

After the plane crashed, fortunately, four people managed to escape and floated to a nearby deserted island. They were Ye Chen, Lin Xi, and three other girls, Zhang Yue, Bai Xue, and Qin Wei.

Ye Chen frowned slightly, observing the surrounding environment, and said in a low voice, "Let's first look for a place that can shelter from the wind and rain." Ye Chen glanced at the other three girls indifferently, "and find food and water."

Lin Xi took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said, "Let's get to know each other first. My name is Lin Xi, and I'm the listed female president of Xingyao Mobile Industry Electronics Company. Although I'm busy at work, I like traveling very much, and therefore I have some understanding of survival in the wild. Although the current situation is very bad, as long as we unite, we will definitely find a way to survive."

Zhang Yue rubbed her hands nervously and whispered, "My name is Zhang Yue. I am just an ordinary office worker. I never thought I would encounter such a thing. I don't know anything. I hope you can teach me more."

Bai Xue's eyes were still filled with fear, and she said in a trembling voice, "My name is Bai Xue, and I'm a student. I've only read about wilderness survival in books, but when it comes to actually doing it, I'm so scared."

Qin Wei also said timidly: "My name is Qin Wei. I just came out to travel. How did I encounter such a thing? I know almost nothing about survival in the wild, but I will work hard to learn."

Ye Chen listened to their self-introductions expressionlessly, and said in a cold tone: "Now is not the time to introduce yourself. Do as I say and go find what you need to survive."

Lin Xi comforted him, "Don't worry, let's find a place to settle down first. Ye Chen, where do you think we should start looking?"

Ye Chen's face was still cold. He looked up at the deserted island and pointed in a direction. "Over there, let's see if there is a cave that can shelter us from the wind and rain. Everyone else, follow me."

After they settled down in the sheltered cave, they began to look for food. Outside the cave was a dense and unknown jungle, where the sun could only shine through the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows. A mysterious and dangerous atmosphere filled the air.

Zhang Yue frowned and asked worriedly, "There are so many foods here. How can we tell which ones are edible and which ones are poisonous? After all, we don't want to get poisoned by eating poisonous food by mistake!" Her eyes were full of worry and uneasiness, and she seemed to be very troubled by this problem. She stood in front of a pile of wild fruits of various shapes and some unknown plants, her eyes kept scanning these things, but she didn't know where to start.

Ye Chen looked at Zhang Yue as if he were an idiot, and said in a cold tone: "Do you even need to ask? I, Ye Chen, will not care about these things. If you don't want to die, learn to distinguish them yourself." He leaned against the stone wall of the cave, crossed his arms over his chest, with a look of impatience and a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Lin Xi looked at Zhang Yue and replied, "Wild fruits with particularly bright colors are often poisonous, while those that look relatively ordinary, like the fruits we usually eat, are relatively safe, but not absolutely." As Lin Xi spoke, he squatted down, carefully examined the wild fruits, and reached out to gently push away the surrounding weeds, trying to find more possible food sources.

Bai Xue said with a worried look on her face: "If it is true as you said, we may face a water shortage. If we can't find water, how can we survive? Are we going to die of thirst in this dry and deserted island?" Bai Xue sat on a rock, her lips a little chapped due to long-term thirst. She looked up at the seemingly endless jungle outside the cave, her eyes full of despair.

Ye Chen frowned, feeling a little irritated, but his expression remained calm. "Humph, that's why I have to go look for it. What's the point of standing here complaining?" He walked forward, and the dead branches and leaves under his feet rustled. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he observed the surroundings vigilantly, not missing any signs of water.

Lin Xi said: "If we really can't find surface water, we can try to dig groundwater. And the roots and stems of some plants also contain water, such as cactus, which can be eaten to quench thirst in an emergency." As Lin Xi spoke, he found a sharper branch in the cave and held it in his hand, as if he was ready to dig groundwater.

Qin Wei asked: "What should we do when we sleep at night? What if there are wild beasts?" Qin Wei hugged his arms tightly, his body trembling slightly, and his eyes looked at the dark jungle outside the cave from time to time, as if pairs of green eyes would emerge from the darkness at any time.

Ye Chen didn't even turn his head and his voice came out coldly: "If you are afraid, just find a place to hide. Don't expect me to protect you." As he spoke, he looked around vigilantly, "I don't have the time for that." He gradually walked away, and his figure disappeared in the dense jungle, leaving the rest of the people looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

Zhang Yue looked at the direction where Ye Chen left, sighed helplessly, with a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction in her voice, "Why is he like this? We are all in the same boat now, can't we help each other? In this remote wilderness, one more person helping means one more hope of survival." Her eyes flashed with confusion and complaint, and her hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes.

Lin Xi stood up and patted the dust off his body, which flew up in the dim light. He said calmly: "Forget it, he is just like that, we have to find a way ourselves. It is not dark yet, let's collect more food and materials. After all, in this wilderness, it is always a good idea to make more preparations." While talking, Lin Xi scanned the surrounding environment with his eyes, as if he was thinking about where to start looking.

Qin Wei said hesitantly, "But I'm still worried about wild beasts at night. How about we reinforce the area around the cave first? I heard that wild beasts are very strong. If the cave is too fragile, it will be easily broken by them. And when I think of those sharp claws and teeth, I'm so scared." Qin Wei's body trembled slightly, his eyes were full of fear, and his voice trembled a little.

Bai Xue nodded, with a hint of approval in her eyes, "This is a good idea. We can find some branches and stones. This way, even if wild animals attack, we can have an extra barrier and feel more at ease." As Bai Xue spoke, she began to look for suitable branches around her. She looked at each branch carefully, muttering to herself, "This one is too thin, no; that one has thorns and it's easy to prick my hand, so it's not suitable either..."

So, several people started to work around the cave. After a while, Ye Chen came back with something similar to banana leaves in his hand. Those banana leaves still had morning dew on them, and they sparkled in the sunlight.

"What is this?" Zhang Yue asked curiously, her eyes full of confusion. She moved closer and looked at the banana leaves carefully.

Ye Chen glanced at Zhang Yue, threw the banana leaf on the ground, and said coldly, "Something that can hold water." He kicked the banana leaf with his foot and looked at the others, "Go over there and get some water."

The sky gradually darkened, and the darkness slowly and silently enveloped the entire wilderness like a black curtain. The wilderness under the night became mysterious and terrifying, and everything around seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, leaving only vague outlines.

Qin Wei's body tensed up involuntarily. She bit her lips nervously and said in a very low voice full of fear: "The wild beast will really not come, right? Why do I feel it's so eerie around me, as if countless pairs of eyes are secretly staring at us in the dark." Her body was pressed tightly against the stone wall of the cave, as if she wanted to hide herself completely. Her eyes scanned the darkness quickly and uneasily, not missing any corner where danger might exist.

Ye Chen snorted coldly, walked to the entrance of the cave and sat down nonchalantly.
