Chapter 405 The Mystery of the Isolated Island 6
Can't they just go outside? There are so many people here, how can they be so at ease?
The original owner had no memory of this incident; she always went to bed early.
Wen Luo used his mental power to take a look and saw that it was the young man and woman among the four people, Zhao Chengfan and Lin Meng.
The two were getting more and more intimate, and were about to take off their clothes.
Wenlu didn't want to watch the live version, nor could she listen to the audio, so she turned over and pretended to touch the suitcase next to her.
The sudden sound also startled the two people who were inseparable.
They paused for a moment, waited to see if anyone woke up, and then continued to ignore it.
Wenlu was speechless; they were quite persistent.
She had no choice but to control Wang Qiang, who was snoring, and make him stand up and walk over as if he were sleepwalking.
The two people, who had already taken off half of their clothes, were startled when they realized that someone was suddenly standing next to them, staring at them with wide eyes.
"Why are you staring at us?" Zhao Chengfan was so frightened that he didn't react at all. He was worried that there might be problems for him later.
Lin Meng finished dressing and looked at the silent person in front of her: "Does he seem to be sleepwalking?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengfan stood up, waved his hand in front of Wang Qiang, and when he didn't react, said, "It seems that's really true, what bad luck."
They didn't know that one of these people was sleepwalking.
"Never mind him, I'm going to sleep now." Lin Meng returned to her seat and lay down to sleep.
Zhao Chengfan lost interest and went back to sleep.
After a short while, Wang Qiang also automatically went back to his seat to sleep.
Finally, the cave quieted down, and Wenluo was able to rest.
She noticed that she wasn't the only one awake. Besides Wang Qiang, who was under her control, Chen Guihua was fast asleep, while everyone else was pretending to be asleep.

The next morning, everyone followed Zhao Chengfan and his group to the place they had mentioned.
After walking for about two hours, everyone saw several trees laden with golden fruit.
Each fruit is as big as a mango, and they look very appetizing. There are even traces of birds pecking at them.
This is the method they use to determine whether wild fruits are edible after they arrive here.
He Nian's eyes flashed with surprise: "Brother Zhao, there are so many edible fruits here, didn't you come and pick them yourselves?"
“You don’t know, this place looks safe and there’s no danger here, but it’s not. Look at all those dead birds on the ground,” Zhao Chengfan said.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over. The bird on the ground did not appear to have died of natural causes; the color of its body had changed.
After looking at it, Han Xi immediately asked, "Is this fruit poisonous? Did it poison them?"
Lin Meng said, "The fruit isn't poisonous. We were lucky enough to pick one, and it tasted quite good."
“That’s right, as soon as you get close to these trees, you’ll be attacked by a kind of poisonous insect on them,” Wu Xueping added from the side.
They witnessed firsthand how a bird, while pecking at fruit, was bitten by an insect and died instantly from the poison.
If they hadn't reacted quickly when picking the fruit, they might have been bitten by insects.
After hearing their account of the situation, Li Wenwen hesitated and asked, "Was it that dangerous? Should we still go and pick them?"
Wenluo's group hesitated, but Zhao Chengfan and his three companions didn't want to give up; they had no food left.
"This fruit is not only delicious but also very filling. It would be a shame if we missed it, and we don't even know if we can find anything else to eat," Zhao Chengfan said, seeing their hesitation.
They wouldn't have shared it if the four of them hadn't been too weak.
Those insects are too dangerous. There has to be someone to take the fall. It's safer if there are more people.
Wenluo stood to the side without saying a word, observing everyone's expressions and knowing that they all had their own thoughts.
She looked away and glanced at the bushes not far away, where a person who had followed them all the way stood.
Qu Yi noticed her gaze but didn't make any move.
Wenlu ignored him since he posed no threat, and watched as Wang Qiang and the others gradually softened after hearing Zhao Chengfan's words.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided not to give up on the fruit on these few trees.
"Do you think those insects are afraid of fire?" Meng Ke suddenly asked.
Zhao Chengfan thought for a moment and said, "We haven't tried it before, so we don't know. Why don't we give it a try?"
He was happy to minimize the danger, otherwise he wouldn't be able to guarantee that he wouldn't get into trouble.
"Give it a try, it's better than just charging straight in," He Nian suggested from the side.
No one else objected, so everyone went to find something suitable to light a torch.
Each person held a torch, and they looked at each other, no one daring to go first.
In the end, Zhao Chengfan gritted his teeth and went to try it first, since their need for food was more urgent, and he was the one who brought everyone here.
As he approached, he saw insects coming and immediately threw the torch at them.
The insects ran away the moment they saw the fire, which gave everyone hope.
Zhao Chengfan's eyes lit up: "Insects are afraid of fire, so we're fine."
Everyone took torches and went over to drive away the insects before they started picking the fruit from the trees.
The fruit was picked, but Chen Guihua still died unexpectedly.
I don't know if the others saw it or not, but Wenluo definitely did.
Chen Guihua was pushed by Wu Xueping and didn't have time to use fire to drive away the insects. She was bitten by the insects and died from poisoning.
When everyone's torches went out, a single insect that had escaped the net startled Wu Xueping, who instinctively pushed Chen Guihua, who was standing next to him, out of the way.
Afterwards, he pretended not to know anything, thinking that no one had seen it.
When everyone noticed Chen Guihua suddenly collapse, her face had turned blackish-purple and her lips were also black. Some people were frightened, while others remained calm.
Han Xi dropped the fruit in her hand to the ground, somewhat frightened: "How...how could she suddenly die?"
"They must have been bitten by insects and poisoned," Zhao Chengfan said.
As expected, Wang Qiang was the calmest among them. He relit the torch and said, "Hurry up and pick it. She was too careless, there's nothing we can do."
The others followed his example and lit torches just in case. Although Wang Qiang's words were somewhat cold-blooded, everyone knew they were true.
They don't even know how long they'll live here. Right now, they're struggling to survive, so the death of one person won't have much of an impact on them.
It can only be said that everyone's mental state has deteriorated. In normal life, they would not be able to accept it so quickly.
Wenluo looked at the insect beside him, grabbed it, and put it in a small glass bottle.
She thought she could give this insect to the murderer who killed the original owner of the body.
Chen Guihua's death seemed to unlock a shackle in everyone's hearts, which is why some people were able to kill the original owner of the body with a clear conscience afterward.
