“What’s wrong?” When Li Chen heard the shout, he hurriedly ran out.

“Hurry up, this man wants to see you!”

Li Chen saw that the person who came could not live for much longer. “Quick, send him into the house!”

“There’s no need. Li Chen, Hua Long has gone crazy. He’s going to kill people. Run quickly. They’re coming to attack you.”

That person died after saying that. Li Chen looked at that person’s wound and immediately understood that Hua Long had already made a weapon that contained poison.

“Bury him and thank him,” Li Chen said with heartache. Then, the two men carried him out.

Li Chen quickly called everyone into the wooden house.

“Hua Long has already made a poisonous weapon and is coming to attack us. We have to be prepared.”

“What should we do? Let’s dig a trap!”

Setting up traps around the perimeter was the simplest method Li Chen had thought of now. After all, Li Chen had never thought of making offensive weapons.

“We’ll move all the food to the courtyard and continue to reinforce it. We’ll set up traps outside. That’s all we can do for now.” Li Chen made his arrangements.

Everyone did as they were told and immediately began to prepare for Hua Long’s attack. Some were in charge of collecting things, some were in charge of creating traps, and some were in charge of moving things.

After a short and tense plan, all the steps were arranged properly. As expected, Hua Long and the others still found Li Chen’s place.

“Brothers, Li Chen is right in front!”

“Let’s go get him alive!”

At the thought of Wang Qi’s black silk, Hua Long was motivated. He could not wait to feel the size of Wang Qi’s hand. He wondered if he could hold it with one hand.

Hua Long and the others quickened their pace. Just as they were about to run forward…

“Ouch, it hurts so much.” A brother let out a miserable cry.

“Save me, Ah! It hurts so much! Someone save me!”

It turned out that he had accidentally stepped on the trap set up by Li Chen and the others. His foot was pierced by a sharp piece of wood. It was so painful that he cried out and rolled on the ground.

When Hua Long saw this scene, he knew that Li Chen and the others had already set up traps. If they rashly attacked, their ending would be doomed.

“Quick, carry this brother away. Let’s go back!”

Hua Long gave the signal to retreat. The suited man was very unhappy. He saw Li Chen and the others in front of him and wanted to take them down in one fell swoop.

“Who do you think you are? I have the final say here. I can’t bring my brothers to their deaths.”

Hua Long scolded. Then, they carried the injured brother back to the cave. Hua Long saw that the brother’s foot had been pierced by a piece of wood, but fortunately, the wood was not very thick.

“Brother, bear with it!” Hua Long hugged his brother’s leg tightly and pulled out the piece of wood. Then, he tore off a few pieces of his clothes and bandaged the wound.

That brother had already lost consciousness from the pain. “Quick, get him something delicious to nourish his body,” Hua Long instructed.

“Where’s the rabbit meat we caught? Hurry up and roast it for him to eat. If he’s injured, let him nurture it.” At this moment, Hua Long knew that there were not many people under him. He did not want to lose his brothers because of this.

“They all left. We’re safe!” Zhao Yu said happily when she saw Hua Long and the others retreat.

“That’s right, they’re overestimating themselves!” Wang Qi echoed.

Everyone was extremely excited when they saw that they had defeated Hua Long. That night, they celebrated happily. Li Chen had also seen their problems. They also had to strengthen their training and forge some weapons that belonged to them.

Moreover, he realized that there was no winter in the climate here, so it was fine to plant some food crops.

Li Chen told everyone his thoughts. After everyone heard it, they all agreed. Just like that, Li Chen began to lead everyone to develop other aspects.

On this day, Li Chen brought everyone to an empty space around their residence. There were only a few trees here, which were cut down by Li Chen and others. Then, they used the wood and the stones they collected previously to make a few wooden picks. This way, they could reclaim the land.

As the roots were dug out, there was nothing left here in the plot. There was only bare land. Compared to other places, this place was filled with soil which would allow the crops to likely survive.

“Li Chen, we’re done. What should we do next?”

“Wait for me!” Li Chen quickly ran back to his residence. He quickly picked up his backpack and took out wheat seeds, corn seeds, and a bag of flower seeds.

“Here, sow these seeds!”

Li Chen handed over the seeds he had brought. Then, the others quickly planted them. After planting them, they just had to wait for the crops to grow.

However, Li Chen also discovered some problems. Because they had been building their residence and looking for supplies, they urgently needed some tools. Li Chen thought of the clay he had obtained previously.

Therefore, he quickly grabbed a few pieces. In a few moments, Li Chen pinched the clay into the shape of a bowl. Then, he lit the stove and placed the clay bowl inside. He felt that this could be burned into ceramic.

As time passed, Li Chen slowly took it out. As expected, the clay bowl became hard. Li Chen quickly used it to scoop water to test it out. There was no leakage. He had succeeded!

When the others saw Li Chen’s success, they quickly followed suit. Soon, they created bowls and pots. At the same time, they also made tables, stools, and other household items. Their lives were instantly made more convenient.

In Hua Long’s cave, Hua Long took a bite of the roasted rabbit meat.

“Mmd, I’ve been eating roasted rabbit meat every day and I’m tired of it. When will we taste something different?”

“It’s already good enough to have something to eat. Don’t be picky!” The suited man persuaded.

“However, since Li Chen and the others have developed earlier and are relatively well off, we should change our targets. That Zhang Yang is not bad.” The man in the suit had another idea.

“Right, him!” Hua Long spat out a bone and continued, “That kid might have been eaten by the wolves by now.”

However, Zhang Yang was not as Hua Long had thought. In fact, when Zhang Yang was on the plane, he had also filled in the questionnaire. As a businessman, he saw a business opportunity when he was filling in the questionnaire.

If he was stranded on a deserted island, other than weapons, food would definitely be the most important. With food, there was nothing he could not exchange for. Therefore, he decisively chose guns and grain seeds.

At this time, Zhang Yang had also found his own territory. He and his followers quickly built a straw shed here, reclaimed the land, and planted all the seeds.

The climate here was hot. During this period of time, it was almost harvest season.

“If nothing goes wrong, the food we will harvest is enough for us to eat for a year!”

“That’s right. There’s also the fish, rabbits, and goats we caught. This is enough for us to eat for a long time.”

“Hahaha, I’m still the smartest!”
