Research Island, Green Zone, on the beach!
Azure waves were constantly crashing onto the shore…
Looking in the direction of the vast ocean, it was all blue. There wasn't a trace of any other landmasses.
And at this moment, 16 humans were lying haphazardly across the beach.
One of them stood up, but as if his legs were filled with lead, he couldn't walk at all.
"A snake! An enormous snake!"
"I'm screwed, I'm doomed for sure this time…"
Yes, this human was Wang Dong… when he looked in Ye Bei's direction, Ye Bei abruptly revealed how frightening he truly was. Huge body, crimson forked tongue, and a pair of long cobra fangs; all were exposed in front of Wang Dong's naked eyes.
Even though Wang Dong froze in fright, he kept mumbling to himself.
A giant python, more than seven meters long, with alternating red and black patterns all over its body... was staring at him. You could say this sight was terrifying to the extreme.
"System! Since this is my territory and these humans trespassed, can I communicate barrier-free with them?"
When Ye Bei stared at Wang Dong, he didn't speak directly to him, but to the system.
"Of course! When the host is inside his own territory and another creature enters, no matter the species, he has the right to communicate with them!"
"Good!"
Ye Bei nodded.
Hiss…
The next instant, when he gazed at Wang Dong, it was like he was looking at 10,000 evolution points.
Exhilarated, grim, and overflowing with murderous intent.
It was just that… when Ye Bei was about to rush over, get to the truth of this matter, and then devour Wang Dong, the other 15 people, who were passed out, also showed signs of waking up.
"Forget it! I'll wait for now…"
Seeing that the humans were waking up, Ye Bei turned away from Wang Dong and disappeared into the forest.
Of course, Wang Dong was the only one to see this.
In less than three seconds after turning around, Ye Bei slithered up another big tree and wrapped himself around it while observing Wang Dong and the others.
"Phew! That scared the heck outta me… I thought I was dead for sure!"
Seeing that the python had gone away, Wang Dong came to his senses, then forcefully thumped his chest, panting vigorously.
"What happened?"
"Where… are we?"
"Shouldn't we be on a vacation? What's going on…"
"Where's our cruise ship?"
As Wang Dong spoke, those who were passed out gradually woke up. Everyone's reaction was the same. When they saw this completely unfamiliar environment and strange island, they all expressed their wonderment.
Seeing these people wake up...
Wang Dong didn't dare to dawdle any longer… with his sharp eyes, he discovered two pistols among the tools left on the ground.
Although he had never used a pistol before...
He had watched his fair share of television series and movies. While the others took in their current predicament, he took the opportunity to run over to those tools, pick up the two pistols, and shove them into his pocket. Then, as fast as possible, he walked over to the food on the ground and piled it up.
After doing all this, he stood haughtily in front of the pile of food.
At the same time, he took out a pistol…
After everything was ready, Wang Dong decisively spoke in a very imposing manner. "Everyone! I kinda know what happened! Starting today, we'll be living on this island for one whole month! It'll be like surviving on a deserted island... And also starting from today, everyone will listen to my orders! I'll also be the one who'll distribute all the food."
After hearing what Wang Dong said, those who hadn't yet come to their senses were all taken aback.
Then, when they looked at Wang Dong, their eyes were tinged with displeasure…
Although Wang Dong held a relatively high position in the company... most of the people who came here today were senior executives. A few of them were even Wang Dong's superior.
The crowd spoke.
"Hey! Wang Dong, what are you talking about… are you telling us a joke or something?"
"Listen to you what you're saying. You can't be serious."
"Wang Dong, don't think you're all high and mighty now that Ye Bei's dead! Don't forget your place."
"Surviving on a deserted island, you say? Why have I never heard of this project before? Wang Dong, did you arrange this?"
But what do you know? After all this chattering, the crowd's fear of this unfamiliar environment lessened, and the tense atmosphere eased considerably.
Bam!
It was just that this relaxed atmosphere only applied to the others.
Under such circumstances, Wang Dong looked extremely solemn.
His inner greed and lust were boiling…
The one-month duration of their stay, the contents of that letter, as well as the surrounding environment, gave him an understanding unique to himself.
And so!
When he took out the pistol, he pointed it towards the ground and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
There was a crisp bang.
Sparks scattered all around…
The bullet that rushed out hit the sand and stirred up a cloud of dust.
It was a real pistol?
In all honesty, when the bullet fired out from the pistol and, what's more, created such an immense force, even Wang Dong, the one who pulled the trigger, was taken aback.
The other 15 people were all dumbfounded!
A pistol… they had only ever seen one on TV!
Now, Wang Dong was holding a real gun in his hands and had even fired it. Fear instinctively rose in their hearts, and subconsciously, they even started to retreat.
"Wang Dong! That… that's a real gun?"
"Are you mad? What are you doing?"
Most of them looked terrified, and their voices even trembled as they spoke.
"Wang Dong… you're nothing more than a manager! Where did you get that pistol, and tell me right now just what in the world is going on?"
It was true that they were afraid.
But under such circumstances, someone still stood up against him.
It was a woman. She was wearing a white dress and had shoulder-length hair... her name was Li Yue. In the company, she was Wang Dong's immediate superior.
On most days, she ordered Wang Dong about like a dog. Only she was capable of talking to him like this.
"Huhuh! Do you think we're still in the company… Li Yue?!"
Wang Dong wasn't at all respectful.
Instead, seeing Li Yue stand up, he had a menacing look on his face.
He aimed the pistol directly at Li Yue's head!!
"These people are really interesting!"
In the dark, Ye Bei, who was observing what was going on between Wang Dong, Li Yue, and the others, slowly sneered, the smirk spreading across his face... he had learned something regarding the truth of this matter.
After saying this to himself, Ye Bei once again completely revealed his entire body.
Whoosh…
At the same time, he shifted his body away from the tree and slowly slithered towards the crowd.
