341: Chapter 341 Living a Good Life

Relying on her nimble footwork, she shuttled back and forth among the monsters, alternating between short blades and military sabers, continually leaving wounds on their bodies.

But the number of monsters was too great, and her physical stamina was heavily depleted, causing her to slowly find herself losing the ability to keep up.

"Brother Fan, that woman is running out of stamina," Zhou Kai said worriedly from the side.

Taking advantage of the moment the woman turned around to deal with Chen Jian, a Strange Bird scratched through the clothes on her back with a single claw.

Three bloody scars appeared.

The woman staggered for a moment, and Chen Jian seized the opportunity to kick her in the abdomen.

The woman flew backward, heavily slamming into the sand, and the short blade in her hand dropped into the sand.

Chen Jian strode forward.

He did not deal a fatal blow; instead, he reached out his palms, preparing to grab the woman's feet and drag her away.

Just at the moment when Chen Jian's hand was about to touch the woman...

The woman raised her head, her right hand swiftly reaching toward her lower back, and a gun appeared in her hand.

Lin Fan saw it clearly; this was a flaw the woman deliberately exposed. Her muzzle pressed against Chen Jian's abdomen, and she pulled the trigger.

"Bzz!"

A cluster of blue electric arcs burst open on Chen Jian's abdomen, and his body began to twitch violently.

The high-voltage current instantly paralyzed his nerves, and he let out a harrowing, tragic howl before falling straight down onto the beach like a log.

The surrounding Strange Birds were frightened by this sudden turn of events and scattered in all directions.

The woman propped herself up against a reef and stood up.

She tucked the silver pistol back into her lower back, bent down, and picked up the short blade from the ground.

She glanced at Chen Jian, who was twitching on the ground, without delivering a finishing blow, and turned to run toward the other side of the beach.

Lin Fan had been gazing at the woman's back all along.

The moment she fired earlier, Lin Fan saw the construction of that gun clearly.

It was a high-intensity stun weapon specifically designed to deal with large ferocious beasts.

...

The battle on the beach was still ongoing, but the mutated creatures had already achieved their goal.

They quickly retreated back into the woods, taking the captured woman with them.

The remaining armed personnel began to contract their defensive line and establish a temporary stronghold.

"Brother Fan, what should we do now?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Kaizi."

"Hm?"

Lin Fan did not answer Zhou Kai's question, but instead asked an irrelevant question, "Do you think this cave can be modified?"

Zhou Kai looked around and patted the rock wall beside him, "This stone isn't very hard. After I transform, a single claw can dig out a large chunk. Brother Fan, what are you trying to do?"

Lin Fan was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "For the past two days, I've kept wanting to figure out the secret of this island."

"Those people are doing experiments in the Island Center, mutated creatures are running all over the mountains, and signal birds are staring at us everywhere. I've thought about fighting our way in and digging out the truth."

The few women didn't speak, only listening quietly.

"But now..." Lin Fan paused, "Forget it."

Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment, "Brother Fan?"

"The bunch down below has hundreds of armed personnel and hot weapons, and those lunatics in the Island Center have mutated beast packs in their hands."

"I have Triple Enhancement, and you can transform. Added together, that's only two people."

"Rush in and look for the truth? So what if we find it, what can it change?"

The Karst Cave fell silent for a brief moment.

This was the first time Lin Fan admitted in front of everyone that he couldn't do it.

"So right now I only want to do one thing." Lin Fan raised his head, his gaze sweeping across every person present, "Bring you all out alive."

Song Ya's hand stopped. She looked at Lin Fan, her lips moving slightly, but no sound came out.

Su Qingxue sat in the back, her hand resting on her stomach, her gaze complex, but she did not object.

"We'll modify this cave together." Lin Fan stood up, "We'll smash open this place and make it into several independent spaces."

Lin Fan jerked his chin toward the outside of the cave entrance, "Hundreds of people just arrived down below, and there are quite a few women among them. Once the situation stabilizes, I'll pick one for you."

"Brother Fan, I want—"

"Change another one." Lin Fan thought Zhou Kai still wanted the one from earlier, so he interrupted him, "You can't beat her."

Zhou Kai's expression froze for two seconds, then he smiled sheepishly, "No, Brother Fan, what I mean is, can I have two?!"

"One is not enough..." Zhou Kai glanced at the other three women and didn't finish his sentence, but Lin Fan understood what he meant.

Lin Fan looked at Zhou Kai; this kid certainly had a big heart.

Yang Ningcong had listened in the corner for half a day and finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Wait, Brother Fan." He stood up from the corner, "What about me? I also want—"

Lin Fan glanced at him.

"You?"

"Did I ever say you could live here?"

Yang Ningcong was stunned for a moment, "Bro... Brother Fan, are you trying to... kick me out?"

"How long have we been together?" Yang Ningcong dashed over to Lin Fan in two steps, "From going up the island until now, so many days of eating, sleeping, and going through life and death together, and you're just going to chase me away like that?"

"Although I, Yang Ningcong, don't have much ability, I've still put in effort! I... I've kept watch at night! I've dug out tree roots! I even told you guys about this island—"

"Shut up." Zhou Kai interrupted him.

Yang Ningcong turned his head and looked at Zhou Kai's toothless face; the other person was staring at him coldly.

"Let Brother Fan finish talking."

Yang Ningcong's mouth opened and then closed again.

He looked at Zhou Kai, and suddenly, a thought crept into his head.

Something was wrong.

After crawling out of the grave pit, Zhou Kai's attitude toward Lin Fan had changed.

In the past, although Zhou Kai followed Lin Fan around, he would at least crack a couple of jokes and occasionally complain verbally.

What about now?

Whatever Lin Fan said went; wherever Lin Fan pointed, he would strike, without a single word of rebuttal.

How the fuck was this any different from a dog?

Looking at Zhou Kai, Yang Ningcong blurted out, "Zhou Kai, did your brain change along with your mutation? Why are you acting like a dog..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from the Island Center...
