Dule ran back from the mountaintop and crouched down beside Zhao Jun, whispering, "I didn't find anything unusual. I left a few words on the propeller: China + 7 Treasure Islands + 1. I think those who need to see it will understand what these numbers mean."
Zhao Jun nodded lightly. China and the Treasure Islands were indeed one family. Now, among their group, there were seven Mainland Chinese and Dule, who was from the Treasure Islands. If they could gather all the escaped Mainland Chinese and Treasure Islanders together, united as one, their strength would be enough to confront the remaining bandits on the island.
At that moment, Tang Hao'er quietly approached. She shot Zhao Jun a blushing glare and turned to Dule, asking, "Did you find anything?"
Dule shook his head. "No, the bandit den down the mountain seems very calm."
Zhao Jun replied, "Let's not all stay awake like this. We've been running all night and everyone is tired. We'll take turns resting. I'll take the first watch, Dule will take the second, and Hao'er will take the third."
Dule said, "I'm not tired yet; you all go ahead and sleep. I'll take the first watch."
Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Suit yourself. If you get tired, wake me up to switch."
Dule glanced at Zhao Jun and Tang Hao'er, then smiled and said, "I'll go over there; the view is better."
Zhao Jun adjusted his grip on his gun and turned over into a more comfortable position on the ground, smiling as he said, "It’s the same anywhere; just make sure to stay hidden. If anything happens, fire your gun."
Dule chuckled as he got up. "You all rest; I'll keep an eye out."
Seeing Dule about to leave, Tang Hao'er hurriedly took out some food from her pack and handed it to him. Dule smiled, accepted the food with a thank you, and walked away.
Tang Hao'er sat beside Zhao Jun and poked him with some food. "You should eat something before sleeping."
Zhao Jun reluctantly opened his eyes for a moment and said wearily, "You eat; I'm not hungry—just exhausted."
Tang Hao'er had intended to chat with Zhao Jun for a bit, but seeing how worn out he looked, she put away the food and lay down next to him. She pulled one of Zhao Jun's arms under her head as a pillow and draped his other arm around her waist, blinking at him while waiting for him to open his eyes and kiss her.
However, after waiting for a while without Zhao Jun waking up, she instead heard him let out a soft snore.
Tang Hao'er couldn't help but giggle softly. She leaned in and gave Zhao Jun's lips a light kiss like a dragonfly touching water, murmuring "Pig" under her breath before tightly hugging his back and closing her eyes.
From last night until now, they had been on the move since ambushing the Bandit Nest without stopping. Their energy and strength were completely drained; now that she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, two or three hours had passed. Zhao Jun, who had been on high alert, heard a crack of a dry twig breaking not far away. He quickly opened his eyes and listened intently for a moment before gently nudging Tang Hao'er, who was curled up beside him.
Tang Hao'er lazily opened her eyes, groggily reaching out to embrace Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun leaned closer to Tang Hao'er’s ear and whispered, "Someone's coming."
Tang Hao'er suddenly woke up. As Zhao Jun saw her about to turn over, he hurriedly pressed down on her arm and said softly, "Don't move."
Tang Hao'er quieted down. The sound of someone stepping on dry grass rustled nearby. Zhao Jun slowly withdrew his arm from under Tang Hao'er’s head and quietly shifted his body, aiming the gun towards the direction of the noise.
The person approaching seemed cautious as well; their footsteps were intermittent. From the hidden position of Zhao Jun and Tang Hao'er, they couldn't see who was coming, but they could tell from the sounds that there were likely more than one person.
Zhao Jun gestured to Tang Hao'er, who had moved behind a rock, and slowly stood up against the tree trunk.
About ten meters away, four or five people were stealthily climbing towards the mountain top.
Seeing their attire, Zhao Jun let out a sigh of relief and whispered to Tang Hao'er beside him, "They're not bandits; they should be escapees too."
Tang Hao'er nodded in agreement; she had also spotted those figures.
The group stopped in a relatively open area. At a distance of just over ten meters, Zhao Jun and Tang Hao'er could easily make out their faces. Tang Hao'er raised an eyebrow and said softly, "It's Ye Tong."
Zhao Jun nodded and stepped out, calling out to the group that was crouched down whispering among themselves, "Ye Tong!"
With a rustle, the group reacted like startled birds and quickly hid. One person saw Zhao Jun suddenly appear in camouflage combat gear with an assault rifle in hand and couldn't help but let out a strange cry before turning to run down the mountain.
Zhao Jun felt exasperated as he moved into a more visible position and shouted at their retreating backs, "Ye Tong! I'm Zhao Jun, Li Wei's friend."
Ye Tong, who had just stumbled and gotten back up, ran several steps forward before stopping abruptly. He crouched behind a tree and peeked out at Zhao Jun.
Tang Hao'er stood up next to Zhao Jun and called out brightly to the peeking Ye Tong, "Hey! Don't run! Ye Tong! I know you; your dad is Ye Zhou. I'm Tang Hao'er! Come back!"
Seeing Tang Hao'er, Ye Tong let out a sigh of relief and finally recognized Zhao Jun, who had changed his outfit. He hurriedly shouted at the few people who were running and hiding, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't run! We're on the same side; we're Mainland Chinese!"
The group had already run quite a distance, but upon hearing Ye Tong's voice, they stopped in their tracks, startled. However, they still didn't dare to approach and remained at a distance, peeking out cautiously.
Zhao Jun waved at Ye Tong and called out, "Ye Tong, come over here."
To be honest, both Zhao Jun and Tang Hao'er didn't have a very good impression of Ye Tong. However, given the current situation and the fact that they were all Mainland Chinese, Zhao Jun wouldn't hold anything against Ye Tong.
After all, Fang Jia Shen was also Ye Tong's accomplice, yet Zhao Jun treated him the same way.
Ye Tong stepped out from his hiding place but felt a bit intimidated by the Assault Rifle that Zhao Jun was holding. He wondered if Zhao Jun might suddenly raise the gun and fire a burst at him.
The two had clashed before coming to the island; if Shen Kun hadn't intervened, they might have ended up fighting. Now that Zhao Jun had a gun in hand, Ye Tong felt scared.
Tang Hao'er waved at Ye Tong cheerfully and called out, "Why are you so timid? Come on over! It's us; we won't bully you."
Feeling embarrassed by Tang Hao'er's cheerful demeanor, Ye Tong steeled himself and walked towards Zhao Jun and Tang Hao'er. Trying to lighten the mood, he asked Tang Hao'er, "Where did you guys get the guns?"
Tang Hao'er giggled and replied, "Of course we took them from those bad guys! What's a gun? Zhao Jun even shot down a helicopter belonging to the bad guys! It's right over there; you can see it if you come closer."
Ye Tong's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, this teacher is really something else—she shot down a helicopter? Is that for real?
