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

Xiao Baihua rowed a long way at sea. The sea was dark but calm. She made contact many times during this time, but none of the calls went to her home.

Although Xiao Baihua did not encounter any danger, it was still the ocean after all. Her face turned pale from the cold, and her lips trembled involuntarily as she tried again and again.

"Save us!"

"...the two of them..."

After repeating this several times, Xiao Baihua angrily cursed, showing no trace of her innocent demeanor: "Are you just going to stop pretending altogether?"

"If you want Wen Yu and me to survive, then you have to save everyone!"

"Otherwise, I'll push your son down!"

Xiao Baihua released the signal device in her hand, suddenly pushed Wen Yu into the sea, and then tightly grabbed his hair, making him float.

Wen Yu was awakened by choking on water. He twisted in fear, but he was entangled too tightly and could not struggle much.

Xiao Baihua rinsed and scooped Wen Yu into the seawater repeatedly, just like she was washing clothes.

Xiao Baihua looked at Wen Yu, who was barely breathing, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then began to operate the signal device with one hand.

She secretly cheered herself on, determined to succeed!

The signal connection was successful. Xiao Baihua cried out in a trembling voice, "Help...help us!"

"Xiao Baihua...?"

Xiao Baihua burst into tears of joy: "It's me!"

"We're stuck on the deserted island from our last mission!"

"The island is sinking, you must hurry!"

"Okay, I will..."

The signal was lost, and Xiao Baihua did not try to reconnect to the signal.

The one who just received the signal was none other than Xu Qingming. Xu Qingming is very smart; he will arrive in time.

Xiao Baihua could only believe that she was too cold and couldn't hold on any longer.

With great effort, she pulled the heavy Wen Yu onto the lifeboat. Wen Yu couldn't die; he was still useful.

Xiao Baihua found that her earlier threat was effective; otherwise, how could she have successfully contacted her family under the cover of darkness?

She doesn't believe in luck. As Caiyi said, if there is luck, it's because of her own hard work that she gets unexpected luck.

She was very diligent when she was rinsing Wen Yu in the sea; if she relaxed even slightly, Wen Yu would fall into the sea and become fish food.

Before Xiao Baihua even reached the island, two dark figures swam towards her. They were none other than Cai Yi and Mu Bai, who had been waiting all day.

Xiao Baihua breathed a sigh of relief and fell into the lifeboat with a 'thud'.

Mu Bai and Cai Yi climbed onto the lifeboat and paddled with each of them on one side, quickly reaching the shore.

Just in case, they also took the lifeboat with them this time.

Otherwise, if a fish bites you tomorrow and you don't even send a signal, you'll have no one to cry to.

Cai Yi carried Xiao Baihua on his back, with a basket woven from plant vines hanging around his neck. He walked on the muddy island, where the seawater was gradually eroding the path, making it difficult to walk.

Mu Bai lifted the lifeboat with one hand to prevent it from being scratched by tree branches, and with the other hand he held Wen Yu's hair to prevent him from drowning.

When the four returned to their temporary residence, to their surprise, none of them were asleep yet.

A dim light was on, and there was a pot of steaming vegetable soup.

Luo Xiaoxiao's face still held a mocking expression: "You've been out for so long, aren't you afraid of starving to death out there?"

The production team chuckled, "This was left for you guys. We didn't even notice you, and you ate it all."

Yesterday, with Mu Bai leading the way, many people were able to eat vegetables and food, but today Mu Bai and Cai Yi both went out.

They couldn't find anything to eat, and it was only because Luo Xiaoxiao recognized some plants that they were able to barely manage to fill their stomachs.

Since they only ate one meal a day, no one would pay attention to whether the four people who went out had eaten.

These vegetables were left behind by Luo Xiaoxiao.

Cai Yi glanced at her in surprise: "Thank you."

Luo Xiaoxiao: "I don't care. Tell me quickly, have you made contact with the outside world?"

As she spoke, she tried to shake Xiao Baihua, but Mu Bai stopped her: "She's been cold all day, let her rest for a while."

After Wen Yu was untied, he ran to the vegetable soup, picked up the pot, and was about to drink when Zhang Ye kicked him away.

"You're a grown man, and the girl hasn't even eaten yet, and you're already showing off?"

"Have you no shame? You call yourself a well-known celebrity."

"Pah, you're a disgrace to us men."

Zhang Ye crossed his arms and looked at him with disdain, while Bei An'an gazed at him with admiration from behind.

She hates male chauvinism, but she likes Zhang Ye's male chauvinism.

Mingya served Caiyi and Mubai a bowl of vegetable soup.

Mo Huai looked around, then ladled out a bowl of clear soup and handed it to Wen Yu, glancing at him as he did so.

Caiyi took off the basket from her chest; it contained the fish she and Mubai had caught while waiting for Xiao Baihua.

The director looked at the footage on the camera, put it away, and didn't know when he could leave.

Once he leaves, the show is definitely doomed. Two of the guests have already disappeared, and his directing career is definitely over.

Xiang Xiang and Du Shaojie disappeared after disembarking from the cruise ship.

We searched the island on the first day, but didn't see it.

The next morning, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and then began collecting usable items.

As the sea level rises, more and more animals appear around them. Fortunately, this is an island that Shenhe had cleared before, so there are few ferocious animals. They don't have to worry about drowning in the sea while being attacked by ferocious animals.

But there are just too many small animals, so their temporary home is now a harmonious society where humans and animals coexist.

The question everyone is most concerned about now is whether Xiao Baihua has been able to contact the outside world.

Looking at the expectant and anxious eyes of everyone, Xiao Baihua smiled and said, "I've made contact. They'll arrive in five days."

Five days later was the final date for the island to sink. She didn't know when Xu Qingming and the others would arrive, so she dared not say it was too early.

Hope, repeatedly dashed, would lead to despair, which was not what she wanted to see.

Upon hearing the answer, everyone wept with joy. They could see the seawater gradually spreading outside, and now that they heard someone would come to rescue them soon, they were all full of energy.

They started packing up the few things they could still use. After all, the tide was rising, and they needed to find something to anchor themselves in, lest they be carried away by a big fish or something else—that would be a real injustice.

With hope, everyone is in high spirits.

An Ruosu's small face was gloomy; she wanted to be with Wen Yu for the rest of her life.

Caiyi noticed the expression on her face, frowned, and didn't know what to say.

She doesn't have much energy left to care for the children; with thirty-seven people trapped here, she has no time to comfort others.

Xiao Baihua also saw An Ruosu's expression, and she immediately slapped her hard across the face: "Do you want to die here? Have you thought about your parents?"

"They worked so hard to support your education and help you grow into such an outstanding person!"

"This is not a job for you to aid and abet evil, nor is it a job for you to harm society!"

"Why should so many of us have to make way for your personal feelings!"

Xiao Baihua still can't forget the sound of that explosive. What kind of explosive could blow up a cruise ship like that!

How could someone so outstanding be even less intelligent than she was back then!

The angrier Xiao Baihua became, she didn't even spare Wen Yu. She grabbed Wen Yu and slapped him hard across the face.

Mo Huai hid to the side, hugging Ming Ya with a little fear.
