Chapter 8: Releasing the Tiger Back to the Forest

I truly do not understand how he developed such a mindset

However, in the hands of a person like Yi Haizhou, the presence or absence of a gun is the most significant difference; everything else is merely seizing opportunities based on the circumstances.

Yi Haizhou also saw the faintly visible hull of the sunken ship beneath the water, this is certainly not Monkey Island

What is the purpose of systematically gathering these tourists who are not worth kidnapping together

The azure sea and blue sky ... No, thick dark clouds are rolling in the distance, and a storm that could approach the tropical sea surface at any moment is about to arrive

Yi Haizhou still had time to glance at the beach, where a high-speed airship, previously hidden from view, slid to the shore, taking advantage of its shallow draft to load all the luggage, bags, and mobile phones.

Even if someone provides coordinates using a satellite phone or a locator before disembarking

However, this time the journey did not cover much distance; after more than half an hour, the yacht surprisingly docked at a concrete pier

For him, surviving on this island covered with green vegetation is exceedingly simple

I truly did not notice that there were more than one drone hovering in the sky above the dock

Some people immediately felt their legs give way and sat down on the scorching concrete floor

Because one can feel this plastic bag filled with powdery particles in the pockets, a poor man who steals fertilizer

Some people could not help but start to cry

The scenery is extremely beautiful

The blond man stood proudly on the highest flybridge of the yacht, arms crossed: "The person you are looking for is on this island. Go find them yourselves, and good luck..."

Hold your breath and casually slap his waist and pants pocket, telling him to get lost

This is something that can be discussed among people, and it immediately comes to mind that on this island surrounded by the vast sea, these bottles of mineral water and bread are the most precious!

Since the morning, he deliberately carried this unpleasant odor on him, precisely to avoid others getting close and discovering the gun on his person

The smell of that deliberately mixed urea fertilizer with other substances is truly making this gunman want to vomit

Yi Haizhou took out several plastic bags from his pocket, opening them in a daze and presenting them: "Fertilizer! The chemical fertilizer that was handled at the dock today..."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment

At least two hours later, Yi Haizhou, calm and composed, finally gained a clear understanding of the entire island as he ascended to the highest point along the tactical reverse slope of the ridge on the island.

Thus, the only road on the island follows the arc along the crescent-shaped coastline, spanning a length of seven to eight kilometers, traversing the entire island, with a few buildings situated along the roadside

to further conceal these several bags of powder

Not even that straight-bar mobile phone was discovered

This is merely a transit island; the other party appears rough and casual, yet is in fact very precise

The armed individuals drove the crowd ashore

Some who came together are discussing or blaming each other; just now, due to your impatience, you were misled. What should we do now

Now no one knows where they have gone

Unfortunately, there is none

Yi Haizhou, tense and ready to draw his pistol to seize a rifle at any moment, gradually relaxed.

The answer will be revealed shortly

Observe those who are leaving the dock along the battlefield road as Yi Haizhou plunges into the dense tropical forest

Moreover, he would never abandon the pistol left by his elder brother, no matter what.

However, the continental shelf near the town is too far away, and thus no one is willing to live here, turning it into a deserted island

It is impossible to have a satellite phone, as that device is relatively large and can be easily identified.

Seeing this foul person crawling and scrambling to pick up a condom, he walked into the waist-deep seawater, causing several tourists, uncertain about their own futures, to distance themselves in disdain

That is another matter

The empty waist had nothing, so the blind spot for hiding things under the armpit was skipped over

Yi Haizhou is certainly not the kind of fool.

After clearing away all personal belongings and luggage, everyone was driven back onto the yacht. Faced with the ominous gun barrels pointed from the bow and upper deck, everyone sat back inside the boat, their spirits dampened.

Even if one does not poison from within, it is still the most malicious of means

Perhaps it was the scorching afternoon sun that caused the gunman standing on the rocks to refrain from being overly verbose, and he did not commit acts of violence against the female tourists in broad daylight; at most, he merely took advantage of the situation

These strangers will inevitably fight and kill each other over water and food, this is certain

Boxes of bottled water and plastic-wrapped bread and biscuits are already arranged on the dock

The golden ponytail even came over to give simple bandaging to the two individuals with hand injuries: "I said, this is a wonderful journey; isn't the most marvelous aspect of fate its elusiveness? Come, Miu Rake! Play me a piece of Beethoven's 'Symphony No. 5'!"

This outdoor equipment, which has only recently become popular in the past few years, is truly a blind spot for Yi Haizhou

Moreover, as I leaned closer and bent down to touch Yi Haizhou's multi-pocketed shorts, I was nearly overwhelmed by the odor emanating from him: "Fuck! Did you scare the shit out of yourself?"

Because for so many people, it probably can only last for two or three days

Understanding the terrain here is the most instinctive response of a battlefield commander

Thus, after they leave, there will be no trace left

Seeing Yi Haizhou without even a bag, when he took out a plastic bag, he also brought out a few cheap BYT packages, clearly indicating that he is a local greedy and playful miser

It is important to note that the fishing villages that just departed do not have such permanent docks; only the town has the unique dock capable of accommodating cargo ships

Moreover, it remains uncertain whether there are spies from the other party mixed in among them

Indeed, the "receptionist" had his gunman’s eyes fixed on his companion, who was shamelessly groping the female tourist, while his gaze shifted to the relatively ample and fair-skinned woman behind, showing a certain indifference towards the man in front of him

It is currently impossible to resist on the beach, but as long as he is given an opportunity to get close or to catch his breath

Finally, under the command of the golden ponytail, it was his turn. In fact, it felt as if he had deliberately positioned himself in accordance with the order in which the golden ponytail pointed at people, placing himself right between the two women

It is hardly like a poor soul banished to a deserted island

He played diving with Fatty and the others for two to three months. Although he had never been there, he knew that Monkey Island was an uninhabited island covered in jungle

Are these people really going to search for the treasures of the Japanese army from World War II here

Yi Haizhou chuckled as he emptied all the liquid from the mineral water bottle, speculating that this upcoming night would be unforgettable for many people at the dock.

If at this moment a gifted leader were to stand up and raise their arm in a rallying call, it is possible that everyone would unite to evenly distribute food and water, which would be the optimal approach to the current situation

Just as he is not particularly sensitive to the camera

The chilling fear that had enveloped him quickly dissipated, as there were indeed those who were eager to leave in search of someone. After all, as long as one could escape the life-threatening situation of having a gun pointed at their head, the psychological pressure would alleviate significantly

Although there is a significant disparity between long guns and handguns in terms of confrontation

He would not go to the trouble of saving those who just now despised him for being smelly

The luggage backpacks piled up into a small hill, and two men carrying rifles quickly searched their bodies and pockets. The actions had become somewhat mechanical through repetition, and Yi Haizhou silently and quietly moved a little further.

Hearing the intense piano music accompanied by the roar of engines, over one hundred and ten unfortunate seekers found it impossible to appreciate the moment, and the result was that they were so frightened they could only remain silent, unable to hold back their tears.

At the very least, he would not expend his energy standing on the sun-drenched outdoor dock in the afternoon

The outer side of the crescent is gently rolling hills covered with tropical rainforests that extend to the coastal edge, with no trace of modern life in sight

Although worn and incomplete, it still allows the yacht to dock with ease

He is very aware that everything is under the other's calculation, and leaving this little water and food is definitely not out of goodwill

Here, it seems that there was once a garrison of the Japanese army, which was later bombed by the Allied forces, resulting in the destruction of several gunboats and warships at the dock. Therefore, the locals refer to this place as Sunken Ship Island

At least there is a dilapidated house by the roadside for shelter from the rain

Soon, people will begin to swarm and seize everything in large numbers

Since there is a dock, there should be buildings or facilities on the island, which also implies the presence of a water source

It is said that there are ghosts here, and locals have gone missing and died in this area, leading the police to designate it as a tourist restricted zone

What is there for him to be proud of, all alone in the depths of this dense forest

As Yi Haizhou landed among these anxious individuals, he saw that the yacht, which had not turned off its engine, unexpectedly accelerated immediately

The crescent-shaped island naturally formed a sheltered harbor, which is why it was chosen by the Japanese military to construct a military port

Thus, they merely mingled among the few who were hastily departing, approached the piles of water and food, grabbed a portion each, and left the dock

However, as a local who has spent several years in the tropical jungle
