"Turn the tables? How do we turn the tables? We have limited resources with us now. The water is alright, but the food can't last for more than a few days. Even if we cancel the contract, I won't be able to see it for a week and I'll be hungry!"
This was the biggest problem Lin Fan and the others faced.
More than a hundred people were trapped on the uninhabited island. They were surrounded by trees and grass, and they couldn't even see any wild fruits that they could harvest. After they finished eating the food they brought with them, they could only starve.
Wang Hui gritted his teeth and said, "It's no big deal. Before the food is used up, I will bring all the guards of Loongxiang Guard to fight with these people. I will definitely not let young master be in danger."
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "This method is too irrational. I think we should temporarily return to the camp. While waiting for the people who are investigating to come back and report the situation, we should also try to find a way to contact the outside world."
Returning to the camp was the best solution now. There was sufficient water there and the wall of the camp that was previously built. It could be considered to have some defensive capabilities.
Anna suddenly raised her hand weakly and interrupted, "Actually, there is also a way to solve the problem of food..."
"Oh, what method do you have?" Lin Fan asked happily.
"If we go back to the camp, there are fish in the lake next to us..."
When Anna was investigating the water ripples, she found that there were many fish in the lake. It was because of the clear bottom of the lake that she accidentally saw them.
However, she had not expected to be trapped on the island at that time. Furthermore, they had ample resources, so out of consideration of not destroying the island's ecosystem, she had not planned on fishing a few fish to try out the taste.
However, the situation now was different. The good people were going to starve to death. Who would care if the island's ecosystem would be destroyed?
"Really, why didn't you say so earlier?" Lee Xiaokang was overjoyed.
"I didn't expect this to happen either..." Anna said with a bitter face.
"No matter what, we have solved a problem now. Don't eat the portable food on you anymore. Just in case, let's go back to the camp to catch fish!" Lin Fan said.
The food on everyone's body was easy to preserve. It was high-calorie survival food in the wild.
It could be bought at any big supermarket. But in this situation, these food seemed very precious.
He couldn't just casually waste it. It might even be of great use. Anyway, he could catch some fish. Eating fish for a few days wasn't a big deal.
"Young Master is right. We really shouldn't continue forward. With so many people passing through the dense forest, we have to cut open a path. This will expose our whereabouts!" Wang Hui also agreed with the idea of returning to the camp first.
The best condition for Lin Fan and the others right now was to hide in the dark. The people who went to the island to search for them didn't know their location.
However, if they continued to cut open a long tunnel, once they were discovered by the enemy, they would be found very quickly!
"Alright, since you have no objections, let's return to the camp first." Lin Fan saw that everyone nodded, so he clapped his hands and said.
When they came out of the camp, they walked for a day and a night, but actually, they did not go too far away. It was all because they had to continuously cut down the branches and vines blocking their way.
Now that he had to go back, his speed wasn't so slow. The road had already been stepped on, and there were no more annoying plants blocking his way. In less than three hours, they returned to the camp by the lake.
They had no choice but to return.
When they left, they had lost the supply and connection on the yacht. They did not know what had happened, so they wanted to go back to check on the situation.
Now, with Wei Gang's warning, they had a general understanding of what had happened.
After weighing the pros and cons, they realized that other than returning to the camp, there was no other place for them to go for the time being.
The camp was still the same as before. Everyone put down the luggage they were carrying and were not in the mood to sit.
They all ran to the lakeside to take a look. Was it really as Anna had said, there were fish in the lake?
Generally speaking, it was like a lake formed by a volcanic crater. Because there might be a large amount of sulfur and other highly toxic substances at the bottom of the lake, there wouldn't be any fish living inside.
But this wasn't all the same. After looking at it for a long time, someone pointed at the surface of the lake and said: "There really is a fish, I saw it!"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Get on the boat and fish!"
The inflatable valve from before had been tied to the big rock by the lake. Now it came in handy again.
A few people with fishing experience immediately untied the rope and pushed the inflatable valve into the lake to fish.
The fishing line and hook were essential items in outdoor survival equipment. Before they came, each of them had an outdoor package on them.
There were all kinds of survival tools and emergency medicine inside, just in case.
He didn't think that he would really use it now!
As for why he was in such a hurry to go fishing, it was because there were only two inflatable valve in total. There were at most four people sitting on each inflatable valve.
In ideal condition, they would only be able to catch eight fish each time. However, there were two hundred people here, and the energy needed to maintain the activity for a whole day was needed.
Each person would need to eat at least one kilogram of fish. Although it was said to be one kilogram, in fact, after removing the bones, internal organs, and scales, there was not much left.
Lin Fan and the others did not have a fishing net, so they could fish up a bunch of fish with a single throw.
In order to collect food, they could only use this kind of slow method to fish one fish at a time.
The situation was better than they had imagined. Perhaps it was because there were no signs of human habitation in Reflecting Moon Island all year round, and the fish in the lake were also stupid.
As long as the bait was thrown, none of the fish would not bite the bait.
They would definitely not be like the fish outside, who had learned their lesson. When they saw the bait, they would have to test it out first. If things were not good, they would immediately run away.
Two inflatable valve. The eight people on top caught dozens of fish in a short while. They could not even fit them in the inflatable valve. Only then did they return to the shore and take off the fishing rod to go fishing again.
"Wow! There are so many fish. Finally, I won't be hungry anymore!" Several girls in Anna's team were jumping up and down in surprise.
Previously, they were all scared out of their wits by the current situation, but now they saw so many fish. The haze in their hearts instantly dissipated.
For people, as long as they saw enough food, their emotions would become very happy. They would also temporarily suppress the unknown danger in their hearts.
Lin Fan was also very happy, but he didn't feel happy for too long. He was troubled by another difficult problem.
He had caught a fish, but he couldn't eat it raw. The problem was that if he started a fire, the smoke would expose the location of the camp. At that time, they wouldn't be in the dark anymore!
