Chapter 186 Ten Photos
The golden shore is filled with a slightly fishy smell of the sea.
The beach is soft and smooth, the water is sparkling, the shadows of the coconut trees are lengthened by the sun, there are countless weeds growing on the shore, and there are piles of garbage brought by the waves...
This is a typical abandoned island.
But the scenery is really nice.
"Although the Surprise Island is not big, it has everything it needs, including a hospital, shopping malls, restaurants, hotel buildings, and a small casino..."
"This is simply a miniature town belonging to our Yan family!"
According to Yan Ting's narration.
The story of Surprise Island unfolds before everyone.
Originally there was only a small village on the island. Later, almost all the people in the village died due to a plague, leaving only the Yan family alive. So the island became the ancestral property of the Yan family.
After several generations of management, the island has become a well-known holiday resort.
Speaking of which.
The pride on Yan Ting's face disappeared, replaced by a hint of gloom.
"Ten years ago, a bloody incident occurred on Wonder Island."
"Dozens of people died on the island inexplicably, including my grandfather and father..."
"The details of this case have not been disclosed to the public. Even I only know that the murderer has not been caught yet, and the island has been off-limits since then."
"Over the years, I have been trying to lift the ban and return Wonder Island to the Yan family, but all my appeals have fallen on deaf ears."
"It wasn't until a month ago that I got a response."
"If you want to take back Wonder Island, you have to lead people to live safely on this island for five days. With the evidence from these five days, you can prove to the world that Wonder Island is safe and that the bloody incident like that ten years ago will not happen again."
"And you... are the professionals I hired through a broker."
Yan Ting finished explaining.
Wu Xian sneered, his heart full of desire to complain.
In order to get back his family property, the second-generation rich wants to film a reality show?
This is too nonsensical!
There are countless doubts in Yan Ting's words.
Is it necessary to seal off such a common murder case so tightly?
Is it necessary to send people here in containers?
Why are they armed with live ammunition?
Without waiting for Wu Xian to refute.
A short-haired lady with a nice figure and appearance raised her hand. She was wearing a brown suit and was followed by a sturdy photographer.
"You mean hired?"
"I'm Yan Bingbing, a reporter from Chao Xi Daily. We spent a lot of effort to be allowed to enter the island to film. We never took any money from you!"
Another old man with unshaven beard stood up.
"I'm the spiritualist Zhu Shuhui. You may have read my works. I want to prove the existence of ghosts... I paid 70,000 yuan before I was allowed to come to Wonder Island to investigate."
"I heard……"
Everyone, you say something to me.
As they talked, they all felt something was wrong.
Each of them had different reasons for entering the island, but one thing was the same: they were all kept in the dark about certain information and were sent to Surprise Island on the same day!
What purpose does the person who planned all this want to achieve?
Everyone felt horrified just thinking about it.
However, this fact was very convenient for Wu Xian and others. They pretended to know nothing and blended in with the panicked natives.
Yan Ting turned on the satellite phone in a panic, looking like he regretted his decision and wanted to call the boat back.
But the phone automatically went on speakerphone.
A voice like that of a child came from inside.
"Welcome...to you...on Surprise Island!"
"Camera, like... ten photos, I'll put them for you... sizzle, sizzle."
The sound was sharp and strange, like fingernails scraping against sheet metal.
Although it was daytime, everyone who heard the sound felt inexplicably panicked as if they had fallen into an abyss. The satellite phone was not working, and they had lost the channel to communicate with the outside world. The sound coming from the phone led things in a weird direction.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with anxiety.
Reporter Yan Bingbing trembled and said, "Rumor has it that the murderer of the Wonder Island murder ten years ago was not a human... but a ghost!"
Spiritualist Zhu Shuhui nodded: "That's why I came to Wonder Island."
Ghost...
The thirty-odd people present shuddered at the same time.
……
After the initial panic.
Everybody calm down.
Now the only hope for everyone to leave Surprise Island is the cargo ship that may return in five days. If the cargo ship does not come, they can only build a raft by themselves, but everyone knows how low the survival rate will be.
Yan Ting filled the third container with supplies.
Inside were tarps, fuel, various tools, a small generator, and enough food to feed more than thirty people for a dozen days.
With concerted efforts, we finally brought all the supplies to the center of the island, on the first floor of the hotel lobby, before dark, and lit a bonfire.
Because everyone is not familiar with it.
So while the meal was heating up, Yan Ting organized everyone to have another self-introduction.
After this introduction.
Wu Xian finally had a basic understanding of everyone.
There are six dependents in total.
They are Wu Xian, Shi Ji, accountant Lou Yaozong, female boxer Liao Yifang, doctor Han Ke, and Zhang Wei.
There were eight ordinary people involved.
They are Yu Ai, a girl in a red skirt and black stockings, old lady Liu, fat senior Zhen Xiaoling, thin junior Li Wangyou, beggar Ren Cha, programmer Qian Yunhe with a receding hairline, young man Sun Qian with headphones, and fruit vendor Sha Huaqiang.
Most of the eight ordinary people looked extremely frightened.
But there are three people who are outliers.
Perhaps because Mrs. Liu had experienced a lot, she easily accepted the current situation and looked very calm.
Programmer Qian Yunhe had a look of relief on his face. Compared with the pressure of work, he felt more relaxed in the blessed land.
Sun Qian was even more excited, his eyes sparkling as he looked around, especially at Wu Xian's ghost-head knife.
Wu Xian guessed that he might have had a bout of chuunibyou and was treating the blessed land as an adventure in a novel. He felt that he was a lucky person who was chosen and was about to reach the peak of his life.
There were a total of fourteen people who came in from the real world, and they all concealed the fact that they were from the real world.
It is difficult to live in a blessed place.
It would be too much of a hassle to get involved with the matter of the other world.
Among the other fourteen people, only Wu Xian, Liao Yifang, Sha Huaqiang and Zhang Wei were equipped with guns when they came in, and the others had no weapons.
The Aboriginals have twenty-one.
Among these people, there are not many who are worthy of Wu Xian's attention.
First of all, there is Yan Ting. This person must have some secrets.
Next is reporter Yan Bingbing, who is the leader of the media group.
The spiritualist Zhu Shuhui is talking in a mysterious way, and I don’t know if he really has the ability or not.
The person Wu Xian feared the most was Luo Shiyi.
He should be a big shot among the free mercenaries, because the other five indigenous people with guns were quickly recruited by him to form a small armed organization. They renegotiated the price with Yan Ting and agreed to protect Yan Ting's safety while on the island.
So the rich people took control of the court and once again had the final say.
Wu Xian felt that their power was relatively strong.
So he walked towards Luo Shiyi with a gun, intending to blend in...
