I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Mu Bai was very authoritative, and under her management, these people dared not argue much.

After all, kicking a big tree in half is not something an ordinary person could do.

Mu Bai did not hide her identity; she did so to gain the trust of these anxious people.

It also gives these people something to rely on, so they won't overthink things and scare themselves to death.

After all... if Caiyi's guess is correct, this island will sink in eight days, no, in seven days.

Mu Bai had extensive practical geographical knowledge, and she observed the area near her temporary residence.

Water seeped into the pit on the island, and the vegetation was all wet. She reached out, touched it, tasted it, and spat it out; it tasted of salty seawater.

This confirmed Cai Yi's guess: the island was being constantly eroded by the sea and would sink within a few days.

They need to contact the outside world during this time; if all else fails, they will have to rely on lifeboats to survive.

With that in mind, Mu Bai left one signal device and picked up the rest to prevent them from getting wet.

What are you going to do?

Caiyi stopped Mubai and asked in confusion, "There's no sandy land around the island anymore, it's all seawater now, it's very dangerous to go out."

"Let me see if we can get a signal if we take a lifeboat a little further away."

Mu Bai explained, and the others urged her on immediately.

"Then hurry up and go, I don't want to stay on this lousy island for even a day longer."

"Caiyi, don't stop her! Let her go!"

Do you want us all to die here?

"She's a police officer, and she's supposed to serve the people."

"Shut up!"

The noise was deafening. Caiyi punched the wall, leaving a bloody mark. She used a lot of force, which successfully silenced the people.

Cai Yi did not stop Mu Bai, but simply let Wen Yu go with him.

Why should I go?

Upon hearing this, he was violently dragged by Cai Yi, and he clung tightly to a tree, refusing to let go no matter what.

"On what grounds? On the grounds that you were the one who led this whole thing!"

If you hadn't guided your fans, how could they have become so extreme?

Cai Yi couldn't possibly say this, because most people already had opinions about Wen Yu, and saying it would only exacerbate the conflict.

If Wen Yu dies on the island, then there is truly no hope left.

Caiyi is now gambling, betting that this world won't let its protagonist die on this desolate island, especially since there are two protagonists.

But this is only the last resort, and she doesn't want things to come to this.

So now she's using Wen Yu to ensure Mu Bai's safety and prevent her from drowning at sea.

"are you going!"

Caiyi grabbed his neck and used force; although she couldn't kill him, she could still hurt him.

Hearing this, he realized she really wanted to kill him, and he was afraid, so he had no choice but to agree.

Moreover, the way the people around him were looking at him gave him the feeling that if he didn't go, he wouldn't survive.

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Baihua spoke up.

Cai Yi and Mu Bai looked at her in confusion, while Wen Yu, who was standing to the side, was full of surprise. Was this his fan?

Are you planning to go out in his place?

An Ruosu's useless fan was dragged away by Luo Xiaoxiao as soon as she opened her mouth, and was even slapped by the crying Bei An'an.

Unfortunately, his plan failed. Xiao Baihua wanted to replace someone, but not him; she wanted to replace Mu Bai.

Cai Yi was puzzled: "Why?"

Xiao Baihua leaned close to her ear and said, "If Mu Bai is controlled by the plot, we will have no chance at all."

"I am the protagonist, he cannot control me."

Xiao Baihua's words made a lot of sense, and Cai Yi couldn't find a reason to refuse.

If Mu Bai goes out, he might be controlled by the plot and die at the bottom of the sea, and then Wen Yu might just happen to run into a ship and rescue him.

Anything can happen in melodramatic stories, so you have to be careful.

Cai Yi wrapped Wen Yu up like a tightly wrapped rice dumpling, leaving only his nose exposed to prevent any accidents.

Although Mu Bai couldn't understand their intentions, they all came from the same family, and she trusted them.

She taught Xiao Baihua how to operate the signal device; she was very smart and grasped it immediately.

Caiyi and Mubai sat on a tree by the sea waiting for them. The tree trunk was covered by seawater, leaving only the lush branches.

Caiyi was somewhat relieved, relieved that the island was shaped like a right triangle, so that it wasn't surrounded by seawater on all sides.

Their temporary settlement was at a right angle, on a mountain peak, where it would take a long time to be eroded by the sea.

Caiyi and Mubai chatted casually, because the atmosphere would be too quiet and heavy if they didn't talk.

Mu Bai: "How old are you? You look so young."

Caiyi: "I'm 20 years old, and I'll be 21 soon."

Mu Bai: "You are indeed very young. I am 31 years old."

The conversation was simple, yet it had a subtle warmth to it.

Mu Bai wasn't too afraid; she had been living in the shadows for years and was used to it. But Cai Yi was very young, and she must have been terrified.

Mu Bai thought for a moment, then pointed to the other lifeboats tied to trees and floating on the sea, and laughed, "Don't think too much about it. If all else fails, we can still—"

The words stopped abruptly, and Mu Bai jumped into the sea and swam towards the lifeboat.

Before Caiyi could react, she looked toward the lifeboat, her expression instantly turning cold and indifferent. She jumped in and swam over.

Mu Bai climbed up each tree with a lifeboat tied to it and pulled the lifeboat over to check it.

"how so?"

All the remaining lifeboats were leaking air, and the gaps looked like tooth marks, but that shouldn't be the case!

Mu Bai couldn't understand: "How could fish bite a lifeboat? This thing is colorless and odorless, how could it attract fish?"

Caiyi swam over to her side, staring at the lifeboat, and almost laughed in exasperation.

She looked up at the sky. Was this just a plan to let Wen Yu and Xiao Baihua escape?

After all, only their ship is still in good condition. But the world might not understand its daughter. Xiao Baihua is a reasonable person. She couldn't guarantee it before, but now she absolutely trusts Xiao Baihua.

Not far away, Xiao Baihua kept trying to contact the outside world, and finally made a vague connection.

"Help us! We're stranded on a desert island!"

How many of you are there?

Thirty-seventh.

"Ah, our boat is too small; we can only save two people."

Xiao Baihua glanced at Wen Yu silently. He was struggling and writhing. She changed her approach: "Could you help me contact my family?"

The signal was cut off after those words were spoken.

Xiao Baihua pursed her lips and continued making calls. She didn't know why she was contacting other people instead of her family.

But whatever it may be, the purpose of these two people is all too obvious.

If she agreed, she felt, or rather, was certain, that Caiyi and the others would all die, sinking into the sea along with the island.

There were two people involved – her and the target of this mission.

But she wanted to save more than just herself and Wen Yu; she wanted to save all the innocent people who had been dragged onto the deserted island!

Wen Yu deserves to die, but that's not something she can decide; he should be punished by law!
