Jeff, who was in the front, was keeping a lookout to make sure no deadly animals would come. He was holding the axe, making sure it was kept sharp as he kept wiping it on the way.
When he swept the big grass that covered the path, he stopped in his tracks, looking at the center. The three also stopped, seeing that there was someone there.
There was an open space in the place where they were now, a pretty good place for camping you can say.
There were people there too, and they seemed to be some adults. There were nine of them, four girls, and five males.
Jeff looked at them with a calm face. The other group, seeing a bunch of kids come, were surprised to see another survivor.
"Hello everyone. All of you are actually here surviving. I'm Jessica, and this is our captain, Jeff. Do you guys want to join our team?" she asked with a wide smile.
She wasn't afraid of the unknown anymore since there were lots of them in the place. Jeff who was standing in front was stunned by her suggestion.
He frowned in dissatisfaction, "Does she now know how rare supplies are going to become? Can't this girl think before she speaks? Also, what happens if these people aren't good?" he spoke inwardly.
Glancing at Jeff's face, Jessica was momentarily stunned. Did she say something wrong to make that expression, or was it just her imagination?
So, she continued her words, "So are you guys in? Since the more the merrier" she continued.
The five adult men were looking at the three of them strangely. Their eyes seemed like a predator seeing a newborn calf in front of them.
Of course, Jeff could see this, and he wasn't afraid one bit, "Jess, shouldn't you have asked Jeff before you said something? Since he's the captain right now, and we don't know them, can't you stop and think first?" Ariana whispered through her ear.
Hearing the soft whisper in her ear, she replied, "Ariana, don't worry, he seems to not be angry since he should have stopped me right from the beginning. Also, we don't know Jeff in the first place, and it worked out fine."
Ariana and Layla couldn't help but sigh from her thinking specifically her IQ. They could clearly see Jeff change in expression, but they didn't say anything since it had already happened.
"Sure, we can join, but since we're going to be a team. Why don't you tell your captain about giving us his weapon first, since kids must not carry this thing." The man in a business suit spoke.
He was tall and big, if a normal sized person looked at it. The four men behind him agreed.
After they had the weapon, it would be a great help to them. The man who spoke, his eyes were blazed in flames, while Jeff just looked at this calmly.
"This axe is mine. If you want it, then it's the end of discussion," he spoke, looking at him devoid of any expression.
The man hearing his reply was angry, from hearing this, "Kid, you seem to not know what's going to happen if you want to decline my request. You'll be in big trouble because of that. If you know what's good for you, you better do what I asked," he demanded, his voice was heavy.
Jeff was about to say something when, suddenly, a woman with long red hair, wearing a black blazer and a white shirt stepped up.
The woman has large, expressive eyes with a cold red in color. She has a delicate nose and a slightly parted, rosy-colored mouth.
Her face is framed by long, flowing red hair that falls in soft waves around her shoulders. She has a cold look in her eyes, almost an ethereal beauty.
"John, can you think before you act for once? Bullying a kid, don't you have any shame?" she scolded the man named John.
John, who was being scolded, was stunned and was very angry, of course. Besides the woman who stepped up, there was another woman.
"Charlotte don't involve yourself into this, or you will regret it," he threatened, as his eyes stared at her coldly with a hint of playfulness.
She gritted her teeth in anger as she faced him, "You dare to talk to your boss like that? Let me tell you this. I can fire you and let us see if you still have the voice to threaten me again," she exclaimed in anger.
John, hearing this, sneered and laughed coldly. "I don't think you're in the position to scold me now. We're stuck here on this island, aren't you smart enough to understand this? You know I've been wanting to ravage you since yesterday. Now you just give me a reason," he said gleefully, eyeing her like a predator.
Charlotte, the red-haired woman, was enraged, of course. The woman who was beside her stood up in front of her to protect her.
She has long, brown hair that is pulled back in a ponytail with a red ribbon. She is wearing a dark grey suit with a white shirt underneath, which includes a blazer and a skirt.
The blazer has a single button closure and a classic cut. The skirt is knee-length and fitted, giving her a sleek and polished look.
Her eyes are large and brown, that is frowning clearly displeased as well.
"John, don't create a crime that you will regret forever. If you continue your actions. karma will strike you sooner or later," the brown-haired beauty spoke, reminding him of the consequences.
"Oh really? What karma? Hahaha. Brothers, don't tell me you don't want to have a taste with this fine lady in front of you! Why don't we take them down and have fun, don't you think?" he spoke, as he looked back at the other four.
The four were also adults, and just from the look of their faces, they looked like people that couldn't be trusted.
Behind them were two women that also had above-average looks, who were also a passenger from the plane. They didn't want to involve themselves in this trouble, so they were quiet as well.
"Emma, back off for now and stand behind me. I will not let them touch you," she spoke as she pulled her back. Now she was standing in the front.
"Boss, Charlotte, why don't we run? We can't handle them at all. What about you run, and I'll stay behind. Don't you think this is a good plan?" Emma, the brown-haired woman, spoke in a low voice.
"And leave you behind? No way. As your boss, working under me as a secretary, I will not let you be defiled by these five idiots," she exclaimed loudly.
The four men who were behind John glared sharply towards Charlotte, clearly displeased from her.
"See how arrogant this woman is? So why don't we have fun with her first, then go with the rest," John suggested to the four.
"That's good with me. A woman who's mouth only speaks shit needs to eat shit," he said with a perverted smile.
He was a fat man with a height of 6'ft. He was big, so if you can imagine, a weak punch from an average person would not hurt him at all.
"That's a good idea," the other man nodded as well.
"Me too," the other two nodded, looking at her from top to bottom, licking their lips
Jessica was shaking while looking at the big man, glancing at her. John then smiled coldly and walked towards Charlotte in slow steps.
Charlotte was also afraid, but she didn't show it. But her eyes said otherwise. When he was steps closer, a figure brushed off beside her.
It was none other than the kid she stood up to, "Did you even ask my permission before doing this?" Jeff said nonchalantly, looking at the five of them unfazed.
