216: Chapter 216 Why do this?

The Short-haired Bodyguard squeezed out a dry sound from his throat.

"Little brother, is there anything else?"

The Tall and Thin Guy stood beside him, his whole body tense and unsightly.

They just wanted to go down now, as far away from this cave as possible.

The farther away from that box, the better. Lin Fan stood at the edge of the platform, his gaze sweeping from the two men's feet down to the slope.

"It's nothing."

He smiled slightly, and the two bodyguards didn't dare to respond.

The Short-haired Bodyguard forced himself to speak: "If there's nothing else, we'll head down first."

"Walking down is too slow."

Lin Fan took a step forward, and both men froze.

"I'll see you off."

As soon as these words left his mouth, a sudden sense of weightlessness struck.

The Short-haired Bodyguard didn't even have time to cry out before he flew headfirst over the edge of the platform.

As the Tall and Thin Guy turned around, Lin Fan delivered another kick squarely to his chest.

He tumbled like a rolling gourd, smashing straight down the steep gravel slope.

This was a naturally weathered rock slope with a steep angle.

Both sides were filled with sharp stone fragments, and the gravel, washed over by the sea, offered no traction once you started sliding.

The muffled thud of human flesh hitting rock, the crisp snap of breaking bones.

Tumbling down the slope with a clatter, Xu Zhixia inside the cave heard that the commotion outside wasn't right, and immediately stood up, rushing out of the partition in quick steps.

She ran to the edge of the platform and looked down.

The sea breeze blew away the dust.

Two people were lying at the junction of the beach and gravel below the slope.

The Short-haired Bodyguard's head was stuck in a crack in the rock at an extremely distorted angle, his neck completely dislocated.

Next to it, a half-person-high reef was smeared with a pool of blood.

He didn't even twitch; he was dead thoroughly.

The Tall and Thin Guy's situation was slightly different.

He didn't hit his head, but his abdomen was ripped open by a piece of rusted sheet metal on the slope, leaving a huge gaping wound.

His thigh showed an obvious comminuted fracture, and the ghastly white bone splinters pierced through his trouser legs, exposed to the air.

Broken sounds came from his mouth, and bloody froth continuously gushed out with his breath.

Further out on the beach below.

That scream exploded across the empty coastline.

Behind the wreckage, the huddled Meng Tiantian trembled all over.

She instinctively raised her head, looking toward the source of the sound.

Several other internet celebrities and the secretary also poked their bodies out from the shadow of the wreckage.

Driven by curiosity, they staggered a short distance toward the gravel area.

Then they saw the two piles of things on the ground.

Blood, twisted limbs.

Exposed white bones, a still-twitching torso, and a sickeningly fishy smell.

This instantly upended their cognition,

"Ah…!"

Screams tore across the entire beach, Meng Tiantian's legs instantly went limp, and her whole body collapsed into the sand, frantically crawling backward using both hands and feet like she had gone crazy.

The female assistant behind her had it even worse: one was bent over retching violently, while the other sat limply on the ground covering her eyes, her entire body shaking like a sieve.

These delicate girls hadn't even seen a chicken killed, let alone such a bloody death of people.

Xu Zhixia stood above, her fingers digging into the edge of the rock wall.

She was a doctor who had worked in the top private hospitals in the country and had seen all kinds of tragic car accident emergencies.

With just one glance, she could accurately assess the survival probability of the injured.

Not to mention the one who was already dead.

The one twitching on the ground had multiple ruptured internal organs plus massive arterial hemorrhage.

On this Deserted Island with no blood transfusion conditions or surgical instruments, the countdown to survival wouldn't exceed five minutes.

Xu Zhixia turned her head.

Lin Fan was standing right beside her.

His expression was calm, his breathing steady.

There was no fluctuation whatsoever after killing someone.

"What?" Lin Fan noticed her gaze and turned his head to look at her, "Dr. Xu, you're not planning to rush down to save people, are you?"

Xu Zhixia's throat bobbed twice.

She didn't respond to this sentence, only staring fixedly at Lin Fan.

"Why?" Xu Zhixia's voice carried a question she couldn't quite suppress.

"Why do this? The supplies have already been sent up, and Yang Ningcong has been sent back, hasn't the deal already been struck?"

In Xu Zhixia's values, a contract was a contract.

Wang Laoliu backed down, Lin Fan took the things, and both sides were even.

Afterward, each would go their separate ways, yet Lin Fan turned around and dealt a fatal blow.

This made her think that this intern was no different from Wang Laoliu.

Lin Fan looked at her and let out a soft sneer.

"This counts as helping them get rid of their pain."

Xu Zhixia's eyelid twitched; calling murder helping someone find release?

"I know what you're thinking." Lin Fan didn't look at her, his voice blending into the sea breeze, "You think the deal is over, they take the equipment to call for rescue, and everyone is happy."

"Dr. Xu, I can tell you clearly, rescue won't be able to find this place."

"That means the things they just carried up—one day, they will come and snatch them by force."

Xu Zhixia bit her lip, her fingers tightening.

Rationally, she agreed with Lin Fan's judgment, but emotionally, watching two human lives vanish in this manner, she still suffered a considerable shock.

Lin Fan pointed downward.

"Wang Laoliu is a mercenary who has killed people, and those two bodyguards are dogs of the Yang Family."

"When they are extremely starved, do you guess Wang Laoliu will bring these two dogs and charge up the slope with knives?"

Xu Zhixia looked at Lin Fan, unable to answer.

"These two people are coolies carrying boxes now, but by that time, they would be cannon fodder used by Wang Laoliu to deal with me."

Lin Fan's tone was bland, "If I don't get rid of this cannon fodder now, should I keep it to cause trouble for myself?"

Xu Zhixia fell silent.

The education she received was to save lives and heal the wounded.

But to Lin Fan, human lives were just beads on an abacus; anything threatening was pulled out in advance.

Non-threatening ones were utilized depending on the circumstances.

"Dr. Xu, I forgot to tell you."

"Wanting to survive in this place, you can't have even a shred of a saintly mindset."

"I kept you in the cave because you have value. If you continue to view the matters on this island with the compassion of civilized society, you will sooner or later be eaten down to the bones by people."

Lin Fan pointed his chin toward Song Ya, who was standing closer to the inside.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Song Ya."

Xu Zhixia looked over following Lin Fan's line of sight.

Song Ya had been standing next to the bucket just now, witnessing the whole process of people being pushed.

If it were Song Ya when she had just been marooned on the Deserted Island, she would probably have screamed or cried in fright by now.

But the current Song Ya, although her face was pale and her body was shaking, had very quiet eyes.

"Dr. Xu, I…" Song Ya spoke.

She didn't look at the tragic state on the beach below, only looking steadily at Xu Zhixia.

"Lin Fan is right…"

Song Ya clenched the corner of her clothes tightly.

"Kindness is useless here. Back when that group of people in our company were starving crazy, they almost ate President Su and me…"

"Here, human nature is the least able to withstand tests."

After listening to Song Ya's words, Xu Zhixia's gaze fell back onto Lin Fan…
