"Empty?" Huang Xiaoque walked to the front at this time, looked in through the door, and found that the entire office was empty, except for the snow-white walls, only the windows on the walls were left. Not to mention a phone, there isn't even a chair here.

"How could this be?" Chen Qian walked out of the room and saw that there was indeed a sign indicating the general manager's office hanging at the door.

"Did something happen to the island and everyone moved away?" Zhou Zhimao speculated.

"Unlikely." Huang Xiaoque frowned and questioned, "If the island residents relocate collectively, then this island trip will be impossible. Will a luxury cruise ship send us to a deserted island for vacation?"

After Chen Qian went out, he walked into the room and walked back and forth along the wall. Huang Xiaoque looked strange and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Chen Qian shook his head and did not answer.

Zhou Zhimao sighed and said, "Why don't you go to other offices and have a look. Maybe this room is going to be renovated, so everything has been moved."

The crowd spread out and knocked open the offices in the corridor one by one. Although this behavior was somewhat suspicious of burglary, they couldn't care less. But something strange happened, all the offices were empty. If Chen Qian hadn't been here once, everyone would have thought that this hotel was just an empty show.

Seeing that something was wrong, the joyful atmosphere of escape was gone. Huang Xiaoque felt that almost everyone showed a trace of panic. He couldn't help but look at Kong Qian, who was standing quietly behind the crowd with a puzzled look on his face.

"Is this a desert island?" Xiao Lili asked everyone's questions and said anxiously: "What should we do now!"

"Don't panic, everyone!" Zhou Zhimao said to everyone. Invisibly, he seemed to have become the leader of this group of people. As soon as he said the words, everyone became quiet.

Zhou Zhimao took a look at the sky outside and said: "I believe everyone found that today's situation is a bit unusual, and everyone must have many doubts in their hearts. But I think these questions should be put aside for the time being. The top priority is that we need to prepare for various situations before it gets dark. Prepare for any situation.”

"Brother Zhou is highly respected, and we are willing to obey your arrangements." Fei Yi had already noticed that Zhou Zhimao was the strongest among the people, and he, who was well versed in human relations, immediately chose to take sides.

The others didn't have any scheming, mainly because Zhou Zhimao's previous performance was convincing, and they all expressed their willingness to follow Zhou Zhimao's command, and the Huang Xiaoque trio were naturally among them. When Wang Long saw everyone expressing their opinions, he just sneered to himself and remained silent.

Zhou Zhimao naturally took note of Wang Long's actions, but he was not a petty person. Now that he had the support of most people, he could already arrange work.

Everyone was divided into three groups. Chen Qian, Huang Xiaoque, and Pang Cheng were responsible for continuing to explore the island. On the one hand, they were familiar with the environment, and on the other hand, they hoped to find other people on the island. Chen Qian has been here once before, so it is safest for him to take the lead. The second group, led by Zhou Zhimao, explored the hotel area, hoping to find enough food, fresh water and some daily necessities. At Zhou Zhimao's request, Wang Long was among them. The third group is composed of Kong Qian, Xiao Lili and other women. They are responsible for collecting emergency supplies from the lifeboat. If the first two teams fail to harvest, those emergency supplies are the last hope. In order to prevent the third team from encountering emergencies, Zhou Zhimao arranged for Fei Yi to join the third team as a helper.

The tasks were arranged properly, and everyone no longer hesitated and started their tasks one after another.

Huang Xiaoque, Chen Qian and Pang Cheng spent the entire afternoon in the forest on the small island. Huang Xiaoque didn't know how the others were progressing. Anyway, their group got nothing. The island is completely uninhabited, let alone people, not even a single small animal or bird appears. Along the way, Chen Qian kept frowning. According to his memories, there should be a gathering place of local indigenous people behind the woods. Although the houses there are simple, the residents are hospitable and very friendly to outsiders. Chen Gan estimated that it would only take about an hour to walk through the woods to get there. To the surprise of the three of them, after walking for almost more than two hours, there were still woods behind the woods, without any trace of human structures. Pointing to watch the sunset, Huang Xiaoque and others finally decided to return to the holiday cabin in the hotel.

By the time they rushed back to the agreed place, it was already completely dark, and the others were eating the dry food distributed around the campfire. Obviously, Zhou Zhimao and the others did not find food either.

"How is the situation over there?" Zhou Zhimao asked.

Chen Qian sat down on the ground, exhaled for a long time, and then said: "I found nothing! I clearly remember that there should be someone there!"

"Maybe I remember it wrong." Wang Long sneered from the side: "I think this is a desert island, there is nothing at all! Going out and wandering around is simply a waste of time!"

Huang Xiaoque was unhappy and was about to argue. Zhou Zhimao smoothed things over and said, "It's normal to have no harvest for a while. Fortunately, we found that the faucets here can still be used. We don't have to worry about fresh water in the future."

"TMD! Thinking of this makes me angry!" Wang Long cursed loudly, "Just drinking water is useless! When all this food is finished, we will starve to death sooner or later!"

Huang Xiaoque said coldly: "If there is no fresh water, you will die of thirst within three days!"

Wang Long jumped up and cursed: "You are blind! Didn't you see that this is the seaside? We will be short of water?"

Chen Qian froze when he heard this, and suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that he lay directly on the ground. The people around him were led by Chen Qian and chuckled.

Wang Long was confused, but he also knew that he was laughing at himself, so he shouted in embarrassment: "Why are you laughing! Shut up!"

Huang Xiaoque couldn't stop smiling and said word by word: "If you drink seawater, I'm afraid you will die faster!"

Chen Gan laughed more and more wantonly, rubbed his belly and said, "It's terrible to be uneducated. Oh no, I'm going to die from laughter!"

"You are looking for death!" Wang Long finally became angry and rushed forward to beat Chen Qian. Fortunately, Huang Xiaoque realized that something was wrong, and actually stood up and hugged Wang Long around the waist, stopping his actions.

Zhou Zhimao also stepped forward and shouted to Wang Long: "Wang Long, if you cause trouble again, I will be rude to you!"

Everyone had already noticed that Wang Lung was displeased, and they all agreed.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Wang Long retreated angrily, pointed at Zhou Zhimao and said fiercely: "Okay, you incite everyone to deal with me! It turns out that you are the most vicious person! You think I will be afraid of you if you think you can do it in twos and twos." What! Are you brave enough to challenge me to a duel? Whoever loses will listen to whoever you say!"

While he was talking, Wang Long picked up a thick wooden stick and was about to fight Zhou Zhimao.
