Chapter 609

It was 4 pm

Before the sunset, Patrick decided to lead a group of people to try to land on the island.

There were many hidden reefs near the island. Their cruise ship had been seriously damaged after

the big storm, so they decided to dock the cruise ship 1,000 meters away from the island.

They had to go by boat to reach the island.

Unfortunately, because of the storm, the cruise ship had a hole and leaked. Not only did the spare

food be washed away, but many escape cabins and boats placed in the spare warehouse of the

cruise ship were destroyed now. Now there were three small ships left.

Each boat could only hold 12 people. Although the cruise ship was seriously damaged, it was not in

danger of sinking. Therefore, most people still stayed on the cruise ship and were ready to go.

For tné first attempt to land on the island, Patrick decided to send only 12 people to search it.

S

It was an elite group including Patrick himself, Raphael, Gary, and some other people.

"... Patrick, be careful,” Chandler patted him on the shoulder and reminded him.

Patrick nodded at him.

Chandler also stopped Charles, “Don’t bother them.” Seeing Charles was about to move, Chandler

knew what he wanted to do.

“I'll follow them and have a look.” Charles felt that he was also an elite.

Chandler scolded him angrily, “Doesnt your left eye hurt?” Just now, Charles punched Raphael

impulsively, but he was defeated as a result.

Charles was just impulsive and stubborn. He couldn't beat Rafael at all.

Crystal found some medical supplies that were soaked in water. Although they were wet, they were

still usable, “Your eyes are bruised and swollen. If you don't get it treated, it may affect your vision.”

It looked painful that Charles's left eye was bruised and swollen. But he was not willing to let others

know he was painful

Of course, Charles was in pain. He was in so much pain that he wanted to scratch the wall, but

Raphael was beaten up in the nose by him without any expression of pain. So Charles could only

bear it because if he shouted, others would laugh at him.

Staring fiercely at Raphael, who was talking to Patrick there, Charles was even angrier and cursed,

“Where the hell is he from?”

For it was the first time, Patrick was very cautious.

"... Mr. Hopkins, send more people over.” Crabbie felt a little uneasy when seeing that no others

went with them.

Most importantly, they didn't believe Raphael, worrying that he would play any tricks.

“The remaining two boats are on standby at any time. If we don't come back in two hours, you can

send someone to support us,” Patrick said quickly and calmly.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the boat to march towards the island.

Charles and Crabbie were so nervous. They held high-magnifying binoculars to watch the boat

slowly moving towards the island.

The green island was very lush with plants. Even the wide leaves growing outside the island were big

enough to wrap a person up. There were many big trees, their shadows dancing.

It only took Patrick and the others a few minutes to reach the island.

Gary and the others immediately tied up the boat to prevent it from disappearing. Now they only

had three boats. It was really difficult for these extravagant tycoons. If they had an airship now, they

could fly around the island. But now they owned nothing but boats.

The periphery was piled with a lot of light gold fine sand, and the green forest in front was lush with

some cicadas and birds singing, which was an isolated place worth paying a visit to.

If they hadn't been in a panic now, they would indulge themselves in such a resort.

“It is quite good.”

Gary looked around. Instinctively, he felt there was no danger nearby.

Except for Raphael, Patrick, Gary, and others were armed with guns. They moved forward with a

serious face and observed the trees and checked how sticky the soil was. Also, they found a small

lake.

The water was very clear. This small lake was the size of a football field, less than five meters deep.

There were some transparent fishes swimming freely. Looking up along the stream, they realized it

seemed that there were bigger rivers deep in the island.

Gary cautiously walked over, squatted down, and took a sip.

It was cool and sweet, and Gary turned around with joy. “Fresh water.”

Great! They found fresh water so soon.

Previously, because a large amount of food on the cruise ship was washed away, there was not even

much freshwater left. So they were worried about freshwater resources. Now the problem was

solved.

Raphael stood high and looked a little impatient, raising his eyebrows as he watched them survey

the island.

In Raphael's opinion, strolling around the island was like a child playing, time-wasting.

Most of the island was black sticky and fertile soil, so the plants here were particularly lush. Some

big trees seemed to have grown for hundreds of years, with roots and branches intertwined,

revealing the scenery of the primitive forest.

A few birds flew through the forest. They were very tiny, only as big as human palms. There were

also some small animals like squirrels liking to climb up trees to build nests. The small animals on

the island seemed not to be afraid of people.

They also found some fruit that looked edible.

In a higher part of the slope, there was less vegetation but more sunlight. There was a kind of fruit

that looked like watermelons in the vines. It was black, so Gary did not dare to pick it, afraid that the

plant would be poisonous. He took a big stick to knock on it. It turned out the fruit was as juicy as

watermelons, and it smelled fresh and sweet. But they didn’t know if they could eat it.

Gary then took a bag and put one into it, planning to go back to let others try it.

The canned food on the cruise ship was only enough for them to eat once at most, so now food was

extremely important to them. As long as they found something edible, even if it tasted bad, they

could survive with that.

There was also a plant that grew beside the water source. It was very short, only one meter tall,

bearing a string of fruits, some red, some dark purple, very similar to a small tomato.

Gary also quickly took a few strings.

They promised that they would return to the cruise ship within two hours. After all, it was the first

time to board the island, so it was better to be careful. Now it seemed that they had let go of their

nervousness and wished they could continue to go inside the island. Maybe they could catch a few

wild boars for eating.

“Let others reach the island together tomorrow...” Gary and the others were a little excited.

Gary and the others were all tough and not afraid of death. They had experienced a great storm

before and thought it was good to wander around the island for a few months.

Soon, they all returned and put the sample fruit back on the boat, waving at the people on the

cruise ship and smiling.

Charles on the cruise ship was relieved to see them safe and sound,

Judging from their expressions, he thought it should not be that bad.

The boat could only rely on manpower to move forward. They used wooden rafts and Gary and

others volunteered to do the work.

*... Are there any savages on this island?” Patrick looked at Raphael and asked before leaving the

island.

Raphael raised his eyebrows and deliberately said ambiguously, “Not yet.” His voice was cold.

Because this archipelago was composed of three main islands, surrounded by many satellite islands

of various sizes, and the one they arrived at was just an inconspicuous subsidiary island on the edge.

Since the islands were connected to each other, some barbarians might have broken in.

Raphael sneered evilly. He was really looking forward to seeing them in trouble.

Raphael had hidden something along the way, unwilling to say too much, while Patrick was not a

talkative person, so Patrick did not ask. The two gazed at each other.
