Since the three men had already committed the act of kidnapping, it was clear they had lost hope of rescue and might target others next. Given their combined strength, the survivors had little chance of winning against them. Therefore, while the mysterious man in black who killed the three foreigners was somewhat feared, he was mostly appreciated for saving the flight attendants and eliminating a significant threat.
However, one person didn't share this sentiment.
The bodyguard, Wang Jianqiang, felt a strong sense of threat from the mysterious man.
Among the survivors, most were women and injured individuals, with Wang Jianqiang being the only strong man. His presence and deterrence had allowed them to survive on the island; otherwise, the three foreigners would have had their way with them.
His daily catch of fish also made up a significant portion of their food supply, with his contributions equaling those of two or three others combined.
Realizing his importance, Wang Jianqiang began to see himself as a leader, often giving orders and directing others, gradually losing respect for the elder.
Though he had indeed contributed a lot, the others silently endured his behavior.
Now that the three foreigners were dead, the island was essentially his domain, and he would have the final say. The sudden appearance of the mysterious man threatened his control.
However, he wasn't afraid. As an elite bodyguard, his skills were unquestionable, which was why he became the personal bodyguard of the chairman of Zhongheng Group.
While he couldn't guarantee victory against the three spear-wielding, tall foreigners, he was confident he wouldn't lose in a one-on-one fight.
He believed the mysterious man had killed the three foreigners by sneaking up on them while they were distracted by the kidnapping. He was confident he could have done the same.
Seeing the flight attendants' grateful and admiring expressions as they recounted how the mysterious man saved them, Wang Jianqiang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly spoke.
"We need to be careful of this person!"
"He's been hiding in the shadows, which means he has something to hide. And he killed those three so easily; he must have killed many before. He could be a fugitive or a dangerous killer."
Wang Jianqiang had no idea that his attempt to discredit Chen Mo was actually accurate.
Zhang Lan and the other flight attendant quickly refuted his claims.
"But he did save us, and he hasn't harmed any of us!"
Chen Mo had saved them, and they wouldn't let anyone slander him.
"Regardless, he's a murderer, and by law, he should be executed!"
The two little girls, having guessed that the mysterious man in black who saved them was the same person who had rescued them from the plane and secretly given them food, were also angry at Wang Jianqiang's words.
"Don't forget, the food we found by the sea was given to us by that uncle!"
Hearing this, Su Wan realized why the two girls had such good luck finding food. The mysterious man had been helping them all along.
Everything made sense now. The mysterious man must have been the one who punished the three foreigners when they stole the girls' canned food!
He had been protecting them all along.
Without him, they wouldn't have survived this long.
Su Wan shared her thoughts, and everyone agreed.
No wonder they had been puzzled by the girls' luck. It was the mysterious man who had been secretly helping them.
Seeing Su Wan also speaking up for the mysterious man, and everyone, including the captain and the elder, agreeing, Wang Jianqiang felt secretly angry but said nothing more. However, his gaze towards Su Wan carried a hint of malice.
Chen Mo, hidden in the woods, observed everything with a cold smile.
Although the remaining survivors on the island knew about the mysterious man, Chen Mo still didn't reveal himself. If he were to appear, he would have to cover his face, and he didn't want to wear his full combat armor 24/7.
For the survivors, it was a struggle for survival, but for Chen Mo, it was a vacation.
On this isolated island, without the need for schemes, planning, or even fighting, Chen Mo could simply watch over the survivors like a god. This was a rare relaxation for him. If the three foreigners hadn't crossed the line, Chen Mo wouldn't have even thought of killing them.
Unlike in the movie world, where Chen Mo's mind was always tense, calm, and decisive, returning to the real world was like coming home from the battlefield. His killing intent receded, and he became relaxed, calm, and gentle.
With his current strength, as long as he didn't seek death, there was no threat to him on Earth. There was no need to be constantly on edge.
Chen Mo continued his routine. During the day, while the survivors searched for food by the sea, he would hang a hammock in a hidden spot, wearing shorts and a T-shirt, looking like he was on a beach vacation.
At night, after the survivors fell asleep in their simple shelters, he would retreat to his spacious tent and sleep peacefully in his sleeping bag.
Chen Mo, like a god, hid in the shadows, monitoring the survivors' every move and ensuring their survival with regular "airdrops."
Chen Mo didn't consider himself a true good person. He could be ruthless for the sake of himself and his family.
But he didn't think of himself as a bad person either. When others were in danger or difficulty, he was willing to help, as long as it didn't threaten his safety.
Just like on the plane, when he escaped the potentially exploding aircraft, he took the two women with him because it didn't delay him much.
However, he wouldn't risk his life to save the other survivors on the plane. Call him cold-blooded or selfish, he felt no guilt.
Helping the remaining survivors in secret was partly out of a desire not to see them starve and partly for other considerations.
Although he treated this island life as a vacation, Chen Mo habitually began to plan and strategize.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed hidden nearby, constantly observing the survivors' every move.
His observations were more like assessments. He understood each person's character, morals, and behavior.
Initially, Chen Mo had valued the three foreigners for their calmness during the early stages of the crash and their excellent physical condition, making them good candidates for enforcers. However, their poor character and weak will led them to lose themselves in survival and desire, forcing Chen Mo to eliminate them.
Soon, a month passed, and Chen Mo's space underwent another change.
The void boundary of the space became transparent again, revealing a starry scene outside.
Unlike last time, there were now two bright orbs representing worlds he could travel to.
Clearly, after his experiences in the Captain America world, Chen Mo's mental strength had grown significantly.
The appearance of two orbs meant Chen Mo could choose between two worlds to travel to.
Chen Mo focused his consciousness on the two orbs, and two fragmented, chaotic images entered his mind.
These images were projections of the worlds connected to the orbs, a result of Chen Mo's enhanced abilities.
