Xiao Qiang and Eye Patch Man were whispering at the door, and Lin Yu was eager to know what they were discussing. However, it seemed that it wasn't anything good. He turned his gaze back to the three of them, who were too frightened to speak. "What did you see?" he asked.
Wen Kai habitually swallowed hard, feigning calmness as he forced a dry laugh. "Nothing much."
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, his tone skeptical. "If it's nothing, then why did you run?"
Wen Kai opened his mouth, awkwardly glancing at his two friends beside him, preparing to say something. Suddenly, the hull shook violently, as if an earthquake had struck. It felt like the entire ship was about to capsize…
Wen Kai's nerves got the better of him; he couldn't finish his sentence, and his face turned pale. His hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
Xiao Qiang and Eye Patch Man hurriedly stepped away from the door and retreated…
Lin Yu was terrified, his face drained of color as he trembled and asked, "What on earth is happening? Why won't you tell me?"
The hull continued to tilt dangerously. Xiao Qiang didn't have time to explain the situation; he grabbed Lin Yu and followed Eye Patch Man as they ran…
At the same time, Wen Kai and his two friends also fled.
Just as Eye Patch Man intended to lead them into the lower deck of the ship, a loud crash echoed through the air—the ship finally capsized…
As he plunged into the icy water, Lin Yu's mind went completely blank. Fortunately, Xiao Qiang had undergone rigorous physical training during his service, including swimming… So when he hit the water, he quickly adapted to its temperature and transformed into a fish gliding through the depths. Holding his nose with one hand, he focused on piercing through the water's resistance to find Lin Yu.
While he was diligently searching for Lin Yu's whereabouts, a sharp pain shot through the back of his neck. Turning to look… a tall and burly Living Dead was reaching out its claws in an attempt to grab him.
These Living Dead didn't eat people; they merely occupied human bodies. Remembering Eye Patch Man's warning, Xiao Qiang struggled against the water's surface, desperately trying to distance himself from the attacking Living Dead.
But things were not as simple as he imagined; the Living Dead moved effortlessly in the water just as they did on land, exhibiting immense strength.
Xiao Qiang had only practiced martial arts like Sanda and Taekwondo. Facing the Living Dead in the water was quite a struggle for him. At that moment, he truly regretted not staying in the military; otherwise, he wouldn't have only learned to dodge but would have also acquired some combat skills.
For a short time, he managed to evade the Living Dead's attacks with agility. However, as the assaults continued and more Living Dead appeared, he gradually began to feel overwhelmed. Soon, he found it hard to breathe, gulping down lake water, his ears buzzing, and his consciousness fading away as pain shot through his eyes.
When Xiao Qiang woke up, his body was sore and cold, devoid of warmth, and he could barely move. As he slowly regained awareness, he realized that half of his body was still submerged in water, and not far from him were other companions...
Gritting his teeth, he struggled to shift his body; his legs were painfully sore and numb. As he moved closer to Lin Yu and the others, two twisted marks were left behind on the beach.
Not having been possessed by the Living Dead and not understanding why they had abandoned him, Xiao Qiang had no time to ponder. He looked at Lin Yu's pale face and heartbreakingly pale lips and decisively leaned down to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
"Cough cough..." Lin Yu coughed violently, expelling the water from his lungs before slowly catching his breath.
Wen Kai seemed to be in a state of shock, prompting Lin Yu to suggest using artificial respiration to save him...
Xiao Qiang hesitated but eventually leaned down...
Unexpectedly, Wen Kai was just pretending; he thought Lin Yu would lean in for a close kiss but was surprised when it was Xiao Qiang instead.
He punched Xiao Qiang squarely on the jaw while the latter was unprepared. Xiao Qiang covered his chin in shock, exclaiming, "You..." Pain quickly spread through him, causing tears to flow from his eyes.
Wen Kai scrambled up, feigning to brush off the mud stuck to his pants while looking at the furious Xiao Qiang with a dismissive challenge. "I'm not into guys; you’ve got the wrong person."
Lin Yu was naturally displeased with Wen Kai's actions. "He was trying to help you! How can you act like this?" While speaking, she crossed her arms and turned away in annoyance.
Wu Yi and Li Hang had already woken up and were silently watching the three of them.
Wen Kai glanced at Lin Yu before hastily catching up with her. He threw a parting remark back at Xiao Qiang: "Are you possessed by the Living Dead or something?" He had witnessed several Living Dead surrounding Xiao Qiang earlier in the lake.
Before, Wen Kai had some understanding of water abilities. When he saw Xiao Qiang in danger, not only did he not come to help, but he also sneaked away. Despite this, he still found Xiao Qiang irritating and always wanted to make him look foolish in front of Lin Yu.
Xiao Qiang was furious, clenching his fists and wanting nothing more than to smash them into Wen Kai's foul mouth. However, thinking about their current situation—having already faced a Living Dead attack before even reaching the isolated island—he didn't know what other terrifying events might occur next. Gritting his teeth, he slowly relaxed his clenched fists, though anger still burned in his eyes.
"Hmph, go ahead and hit me! Come on!" To his surprise, Wen Kai not only didn’t back down but pushed Xiao Qiang’s buttons even further.
Lin Yu couldn’t bear to watch any longer. She turned around… She felt that she was closest to Wen Kai at that moment; at least she should be able to intervene when Xiao Qiang lunged at him. It wasn’t about helping anyone but rather adhering to the principle of peaceful coexistence that prompted her to step in.
However, just as she turned around in an instant… a figure with astonishing speed charged forward with fierce anger, followed by a loud smack! The sharp sound was accompanied by a piercing scream—ah! The shrill cry came from Wen Kai.
When Lin Yu looked again, she saw that Wen Kai was already on the ground, covering half of his swollen face, staring in shock at Xiao Qiang, who had just slapped him and then stood there as if nothing had happened.
The whole event unfolded in the blink of an eye, leaving Wen Kai's close friends Wu Yi and Li Hang dumbfounded. They rushed over and quickly helped Wen Kai up from his crouched position.
Lin Yu wasn’t surprised by Xiao Qiang’s speed at all. This was the source of the strange abilities that Wen Kai had bestowed upon him and one of the reasons she was so curious about him.
She crossed her arms, maintaining her stance, and coldly watched as Wen Kai wiped a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth. He spat out some blood and asked, "Are you satisfied with this outcome?" Then he shot a fierce glare at Xiao Qiang and added, "Have you forgotten the rules we agreed upon? You can't use your abilities against your own teammates."
