After an unknown period of time, Shen Lian could faintly hear someone calling his name. He felt someone patting his face and shaking his body. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Mei Er's anxious and worried expression.

Shen Lian opened his eyes and smiled at her: "Sister Mei'er, I'm still alive …"

At this moment, the storm gradually lessened. Bolts of lightning streaked across the horizon, the sound of thunder rolling low and muffled. However, the intimidating power had weakened by a lot.

"Shen Lian, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!"

Xiao Mei Er's eyes became moist again. To be honest, if Shen Lian wasn't so desperate, they wouldn't have been able to swim to the island. They would have already been buried in the sea.

"Sister Mei'er, I, I'm fine now …"

Shen Lian slowly sat up and stretched his arms and legs. Although he felt tired, everything went on as usual. He felt a sharp pain on his back and reached his hand out to rub it. There was a lot of blood on his hands and it felt as if it was split open.

It turned out to be a shockwave from the explosion of the yacht, carrying a shattered piece of the deck, which smashed into his back.

Fortunately, Shen Lian had activated his defensive qi barrier in advance. Although he was injured, it didn't injure his internal organs or meridians, so his life was in danger.

Shen Lian sat on the ground and slowly circulated his Qi. After a while, the wound stopped bleeding, he slowly stood up, looked around, and asked Xiao Mei Er: "Sister Mei'er, is this a deserted island?"

"It should be... "According to the map, this is an uninhabited island."

Xiao Mei Er also stood up. Her entire body was already drenched, and the rain continued to pour down on her face. She was shivering from the cold.

Seeing her in such a state, Shen Lian hurriedly pulled her into his embrace … After being hugged like this by Shen Lian, Xiao Mei Er felt her body warming up and her heart warming up. She could not help but extend her arms and tightly embrace Shen Lian as well.

The two of them continued to embrace each other as the rain continued to sprinkle onto their bodies. However, they no longer felt as cold as they did before.

It was now deep in the night, and the island was dark. By the light of the flashing lightning, he could vaguely see the whole island covered with low trees and shrubs.

"Sister Mei'er, we need to find a place to shelter from the rain!"

Shen Lian said to Xiao Mei Er.

"Mm …"

Xiao Mei Er nodded gently. She continued to hug Shen Lian's arm as the two of them walked towards the direction of the island where trees grew.

Walking into the forest, the two of them were disappointed. The trees in the mangrove forest were all very low, not much taller than humans. Furthermore, there was mud inside, and the place was full of potholes. It was simply not suitable to be used as a shelter.

They had no choice but to leave the forest and continue their search along the shore of the small island … After about ten minutes of walking, they saw a beach at the end of the island. There were a lot of rocks on the edge of the beach, and a small mountain range that rose to the top.

The two of them hurriedly walked in that direction, and soon, they arrived at a cliff.

The cliff was very high. Looking up from below, it was at least a hundred meters high. Below the cliff was a piece of solid and precipitous granite. The sea water was continuously washing over it.

He could vaguely see that around the cliff, there were many holes and cracks.

So they searched under the cliff, and at last, behind a great mass of granite, they found a considerable cave, or cave.

The two of them drilled into the cave, and soon, the rain stopped.

They also discovered that besides some small stones, there was only a thin layer of sand in the cave. Since the rain and sea could not corrode inside, the ground was actually not wet, and was instead quite dry.

The two of them stepped on it barefooted. It was still a bit soft.

"Sister Mei'er, let's stay here temporarily tonight!"

Shen Lian said to Xiao Mei Er.

"Could this cave be the lair of a wild beast?"

Xiao Mei Er said worriedly.

"I don't think so. Actually, if there's a better wild beast, we'll kill it and eat it!"

Shen Lian said.

"Shen Lian, stop joking around. This is a deserted island without any resources. We have to find a way to survive …"

Xiao Mei Er quickly reminded him.

"I'm not joking! If we want to survive, we have to at least maintain our physical strength, and then we have to eat. "

What he said was the truth. Although he was awake now, swimming had already exhausted both his and Xiao Mei Er's physical strength.

Therefore, it was imperative that he replenish and restore his strength as soon as possible. After all, this was a deserted island, and there might be unforeseeable dangers lurking in it.

Shen Lian then walked back into the cave. After inspecting the cave, she discovered that this was a naturally formed cave. Other than the rocks and sand inside the cave, it was not the lair of a wild beast.

"Sister Mei'er, this place is not bad, let's stay here for the time being. I want to find something to eat. "

Shen Lian said.

"It's dark outside and it's raining heavily. It's not easy to find food, we... Let's rest first! "

Xiao Mei Er hurriedly said.

"En..." "Alright then."

Although Shen Lian was tired and hungry, he also felt that Xiao Mei Er's words were reasonable. Thus, he found a spot in the corner of the cave and the two of them sat down.

"I never thought that such a thing would happen!"

After sitting down, Xiao Mei'er said this sentence and then said, "Fortunately, the heavens have eyes, so we shouldn't die …"

Shen Lian comforted her, "Sister Mei'er, if we do not die this time, there will definitely be a blessing in disguise. Perhaps tomorrow, someone will come to save us."

"I hope so!"

Xiao Mei Er frowned.

She wondered why there was a bomb on the yacht.

Who wanted to kill her?

She had many friends, but not many people she offended. As for those who hated her to the bones and wanted her dead, there didn't seem to be anyone.

"Sister Mei'er, why would there be bombs on the ship? Who wants to kill us? "

At this moment, Shen Lian also thought of this problem.

"I don't know either!"

Xiao Mei Er shook her head and said: "Who exactly is it that sneakily went onto the boat and installed the bomb? Furthermore, the installation method should be done by a professional, and the purpose of the other party is obviously for us to be blown to smithereens in the sea. Even if the police want to investigate this murder case, they might not even be able to find any clues, just that they did not expect us to be so lucky! "

"That's right!"

Shen Lian also furrowed his brows. He thought for a moment and said: "I think the other party must have known we were going to sea, that's why they set up the bombs in advance. Sister Mei'er, who knows that we were going to sea?"
