Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Rescued and Leaving the Island
"Are you saying that the missing fisherman, Chen Wen, who disappeared due to the shipwreck, has appeared on our island and attacked our survivors?"
The captain, who had sorted it out, asked in return.
The team member nodded thoughtfully, "To be honest, Captain, our survivor attacked him first. He was just defending himself."
"Besides, it’s possible! I’m in charge of receiving data, and I remember the shipwreck happened to the north of us. If he kept swimming, he might have made it here!"
The captain bared his teeth.
He felt it was too much of a coincidence.
This kind of thing wouldn’t even happen in a novel, right?
But he still said, "Confirm with the rescue team, and if it’s true, we’ll go look for him together tomorrow."
"If this person is really Chen Wen... how did he survive?"
"It’s been almost a week now. Ten survivors barely made it on the same island. If it’s him... unbelievable!"
...
"What to eat?"
Chen Wen’s shelter.
Seeing Yan Bian constantly eyeing his food rack, Chen Wen assumed he was hungry.
But Yan Bian shook his head.
"Brother, I want to ask, what kind of meat is this?"
Chen Wen walked straight to the food rack and introduced all the meat to Yan Bian.
"This is shark meat, bull shark. This is Black Panther meat. These are groupers. Oh, and this, these are leftover oysters, all dried up. Over here are some aloe plants used for treating wounds."
Listening to Chen Wen’s introduction, Yan Bian felt like his ears were malfunctioning.
Bull shark? Black Panther?
He could understand the groupers and oysters.
He’s eaten those before.
But bull shark and Black Panther, what the hell!
Yan Bian felt his worldview was greatly shaken.
"How... how did you get these? Is the Black Panther from the island? Was the bull shark part of your ship’s catch and drifted here with you?"
Yan Bian asked dryly.
Chen Wen hesitated, unsure if he should admit he killed them himself.
Quickly, Chen Wen decided to tell the truth.
"No, the bull shark was something I accidentally encountered a few days ago while fishing at the reef."
"With the tide receding, I managed to kill it directly on the shallows."
"Was it yesterday? The day before? I can’t quite remember; I met the Black Panther at a stream."
"Actually, I encountered the Black Panther much earlier, but it was scared off. I don’t know why it was so aggressive last time. It just jumped at me, so I took advantage of the terrain and led it into the stream where I killed it."
Yan Bian rubbed his temples, finally blurting out, "Brother, stop joking."
That’s just too unbelievable!
He could understand every word of what Chen Wen said separately.
But together...
Yan Bian felt like he became illiterate.
Just one person? Fishing at a reef and casually killing a shark?
Seeing the amount of meat, Yan Bian knew the shark was definitely not small!
Also, scaring off a Black Panther?
Using the terrain to kill a Black Panther?
When he thought about how everyone on his side had gone out and yet hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the Black Panther, ending up with two injured teammates.
Yan Bian felt Chen Wen must be joking.
"Why would I lie? Didn’t you guys take the Black Panther’s head and skin?"
Chen Wen was a bit speechless.
When he finally decided to tell the truth, the other side didn’t believe him.
This really is...
Seeing that Chen Wen wasn’t joking,
Yan Bian directly stood up and pinched the Black Panther and shark meat.
After pinching the meat, he pinched his own face.
It wasn’t a dream.
"Brother, are you Superman?"
Yan Bian asked sincerely.
Half a Superman at best.
Chen Wen answered in his heart, smiling, "How could that be possible, come on, let’s have something good. Anyway, we’ll be rescued tomorrow!"
Thinking about leaving the island and returning to the human world tomorrow,
Chen Wen felt both excitement and a trace of restlessness in his heart.
Driven by these emotions, Chen Wen and Yan Bian joyfully had their last meal on the deserted island.
...
The next day, the seventh day of Chen Wen’s castaway life on the island.
From morning, a thin layer of mist covered the island.
Chen Wen was still a bit worried about whether this mist would affect the rescue.
But before long.
The blazing sun leaped out from the sea’s horizon, dispersing the mist.
It was a sunny day!
Chen Wen was doing chest exercises by the sea, and his excitement infected Yan Bian, making him excited, too.
"Brother, light the fire."
Yan Bian reminded Chen Wen.
Hearing this, Chen Wen transferred the fire source to the new bonfire he had built with Yan Bian.
The wet firewood began to emit thick smoke after a short time under the flames.
Under the sunlight, the smoke drifted obliquely into the high sky.
Soon, the rescue team from the show’s production group noticed this plume of thick smoke.
"Something’s up, let’s go take a look!"
The rescue team captain shouted the command, and the helicopter, already on the island, quickly flew towards the direction where the smoke was rising.
...
Watching the helicopter rapidly approaching,
Chen Wen just felt like his heart was about to jump out.
Finally!
After struggling to survive on the deserted island for seven days, rescue was finally here!
Feeling Chen Wen’s excitement,
Yan Bian, standing beside him, said with emotion, "Brother, congratulations!"
"Congratulations to you too..."
At this moment, Chen Wen was so excited he didn’t know what to say, muttering a few words.
He held Yan Bian’s shoulder tightly: "Brother, everything in my shelter is yours! Aren’t you guys continuing the survival challenge? There’s food, a backpack, and even weapons inside."
Speaking of the backpack, before Yan Bian could speak,
Chen Wen quickly returned to the shelter and took out a small bag belonging to the captain.
Inside were still Mr. Zhao’s documents and other miscellaneous items.
Seeing the surprisingly delighted yet flustered Chen Wen, Yan Bian felt quite emotional.
This kind of behavior was something he often saw during high school.
It was like the last class before the National Day holiday, most students were so agitated and joyful.
Soon, the helicopter arrived.
Upon seeing Yan Bian, the captain descending from the helicopter breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he turned his gaze to the grinning Chen Wen: "And he is..."
"Chen Wen, he’s a fisherman who accidentally ended up on the island because of a shipwreck,"
Yan Bian introduced Chen Wen to the rescue team members.
He added at the end, "A Hua Country fisherman."
But what Yan Bian didn’t expect was,
The rescue team members glanced at each other, revealing a knowing expression.
"So it really is you!"
The captain’s eyes lit up, couldn’t help walking up to Chen Wen.
"Are you injured?"
Seeing the bandaged wound on Chen Wen, the captain asked.
"Just a small wound."
Chen Wen also recovered, cheerfully looking at the captain.
"Remarkable, their survival team of ten barely survived a week on the island, and here you are alone, must have gone through a lot!"
The captain looked at Chen Wen with some sympathy.
The young Chen Wen reminded him of his younger brother, who was the same age as Chen Wen.
Gone through a lot?
Chen Wen nodded, full of emotion.
The experiences of these seven days were richer than the past seven years of his life.
However, neither of them noticed Yan Bian’s expression, which seemed like he had seen a ghost.
Gone through a lot?
He didn’t know the dangers Chen Wen encountered.
On the contrary, what Yan Bian heard and saw was all about Chen Wen’s gains.
Eating a lot of lobster, groupers.
And then there’s shark, shark fins, Black Panther, these exotic dishes that are almost impossible to see on a dining table, he devoured them in large bites.
This is called going through a lot?
Yan Bian shook his head, boarding the helicopter with Chen Wen.
Accompanied by the chugging sound of the helicopter in operation,
Chen Wen looked out the cabin window.
The deep green island looked like a gemstone inlaid in the vast blue ocean.
Farewell!
No, never again!
Chen Wen smirked slightly and stopped looking outside.
