“You might be the chairwoman of a listed company in modern world, but here is different. You’d better control your temper.” Chang Yuan cursed in his heart.

He then looked at the sky. The dark clouds were getting denser. In the distant horizon, there was a large cluster of dark clouds slowly moving in this direction.

“We should hurry up and make the shelter stronger before the storm.”

His words gave the three women a sense of urgency.

This was no ordinary rain. If they stayed overnight in the storm, they might not be able to wake up in the next day.

“Tong Wei, your foot is injured, you shouldn’t move around. Stay here!”

“The two of you, go to the edge of the woods and pick up some strong branches. Take as many as you can!”

Hearing Chang Yuan’s order, Qiao Yuran didn’t act immediately. “Do I need to go picking up the branches as well?” She examined her soft, jade-like fingers and looked back at Chang Yuan with her delicate eyes.

Chang Yuan had no time to bother with her.

“If you don’t want to do your job, you can break your own feet.”

Qiao Yuran snorted and rolled her eyes at Chang Yuan, muttering, “You’ve already seen my body, but you still let me do the labor. You really don’t know how to appreciate a delicate lady like me.”

However, she saw Zhuo Qianqian had already walked to the edge of the forests and started picking. She could only follow Zhuo Qianqian obediently.

When Tong Wei saw that the two girls were working, she felt a little apologetic and called Chang Yuan, “Is there anything, I…”

She wanted to ask Chang Yuan what she could do.

“Your leg is injured, and you can’t walk. You can use a rock here to smash the metal plate!”

When Chang Yuan told her to smash the metal plate, she was confused.

What was he trying to do? Although she was injured, he didn’t have to brush her off by asking her to do a useless thing. What was the use of smashing the metal plate?

Chang Yuan knew that Tong Wei did not understand his order. He picked up a palm-sized stone and started smashing the iron plate as a demonstration.

“Use a stone to smash this iron plate into a concave shape. It would be best if it looks like an iron pot!”

Tong Wei understood instantly that he was trying to make an iron pot.

With an iron pot, they could make hot food.

Tong Wei did as she was told. She picked up the stone and started smashing.

Chang Yuan watched from the side, but his eyes fell on Tong Wei’s breast. Every time Tong Wei smashed the metal plate using a stone, the impact of cause Tong Wei’s body to tremble.

Although her breasts were not as big as Qiao Yuran’s, it was still plump and nice to look at. Chang Yuan could imagine himself cupped her breasts with his hands.

Tong Wei kept smashing the metal plate for a long time. When she noticed Chang Yuan staring at her in a daze, she asked, “Am I doing it right?”

As she said that, she smashed it hard again. Chang Yuan subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. “Yes! Yes! Yes! That’s it!”

Tong Wei lowered her head again and continued smashing, but her face was indeed a little red.

Chang Yuan did not look at it any longer and turned around to walk into the forest.

What he had to do was even more arduous than theirs.

Not long after entering the forest, Chang Yuan discovered the feces of wild animal under his feet.

From the looks of it, the feces had not completely dried up. It should have been left behind not too long ago. Judging from its size, it should be from a small-sized animal.

Chang Yuan squatted on the ground again and used a branch to poke the feces. He discovered that there was still undigested grass inside.

“It’s an herbivore.”

It seemed that they could get some meat to eat.

Although snake meat was eatable, catching snakes was a little too dangerous. It was not as safe as herbivorous animals.

Chang Yuan followed the direction of the feces and moved forward. The further he went, the denser the bushes became. After walking for a while, he saw there was light shone through the bushes in front of him.

After pushing the bushes aside, he found out what was behind the bushes. He hurriedly stopped and took three steps back in great fear.

If he had taken one more step, he would have died.

In front of him was a towering cliff.

He looked down the cliff again. There was a large patch of bushes under the cliff, and in the middle of the bushes was an island lake. A few thousand meters further away from the cliff, there was a dense forest and sea.

Chang Yuan stood at the highest point of the cliff and looked around. He found that the island was nearly ten thousand meters long, and there were plants and rocks everywhere.

It seemed that there were no signs of any indigenous people.

Suddenly, Chang Yuan heard noise coming from behind him. He turned around cautiously and found a rabbit.

The gray rabbit looked at him curiously.

Living on the island, it had never seen a human before. This was the first time it saw one. It just looked at Chang Yuan without any vigilance.

Chang Yuan was secretly delighted. He took out a fruit knife from his pocket and moved slowly. He carefully reached out his hand and approached the gray rabbit bit by bit.

When he was close enough, Chang Yuan suddenly jumped and wanted to grab the rabbit.

However, the rabbit still nimbly slipped away from Chang Yuan’s hand. He only grabbed a handful of gray fur.

“You want to run?” Although Chang Yuan’s first attempt failed, he didn’t give up. He threw the knife out at a very fast speed.

“Whoosh!”

It hit the rabbit’s bottom.

The rabbit was bleeding, but Chang Yuan did not expect it could still run away. Although it was heavily injured, it still could run at an incredible speed.

After a few flutters, it disappeared into the grass. Chang Yuan completely lost track of it.

Chang Yuan decided not to waste more time on the rabbit. It was badly injured, and there were traces of blood left behind. Sooner or later, it would fall into his hands.

Looking at the sky, the dark clouds were even thicker. It became so dark that he could not tell what time it was.

After exploring several places, Chang Yuan found a place located halfway up the cliff. It had an open view, and there was a natural cave on the back, which was very suitable for shelter.

The mountainside seemed to have been cut in half by something. It was very flat, like a natural courtyard.

When Chang Yuan returned to the beach, he found three women sitting together, chatting and laughing. Each of them held a coconut in their hands, enjoying it.

“You’re back? Look at the coconuts I found!” Qiao Yuran raised the coconuts excitedly, showing Chang Yuan the trophy of her hunting.

Chang Yuan knew that these coconuts grew on the coconut trees not far from the beach, but they were not ripe yet.

He had originally planned to wait until they were ripe before picking them, but he did not expect…

“Stop eating. We need to go. Hurry up and take our things before the storm come!”

Chang Yuan packed his luggage while instructing the three women.

“Ah? Where are we going? Didn’t we need to strengthen our shelter?” Qiao Yuran was puzzled. It was not easy for her and Zhuo Qianqian to collect that large pile of woods.. And now they were leaving?
