“Uh…”
Yang Mi stammered, “Captain, we can’t sleep without you around!”
“Are there rats again?”
Tang Chen met her gaze, looking at her with a knowing smile.
He knew very well that the reason they couldn’t sleep was because he wasn’t in the base, making them feel insecure.
As they themselves had said, Tang Chen was their backbone.
Without him, they wouldn’t last a day on this island.
“No rats…” Yang Mi’s cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head. “We just miss you, and we wanted to sit here and wait for you.”
“Oh, I see!”
Tang Chen nodded with a chuckle.
These actresses were indeed very prideful, even when they were caught red-handed.
“Sister Mi Mi, look what we brought back!”
Just then, Liu Shi Shi came running over excitedly, carrying a coconut crab.
“Wow, a coconut crab? Is this the legendary coconut crab?”
Yang Mi looked at the coconut crab in front of her, her eyes filled with curiosity.
She had never seen a coconut crab before in her life.
Indeed, this coconut crab looked different from any crab she had ever seen.
It looked more like a “hermit crab” than a regular crab.
The coconut crab had a similar shape to a hermit crab, but its body was not as large. However, its head and claws were huge.
Especially its claws, which were as big as half its body, allowing it to easily tear apart coconuts.
The claws were large and strong, capable of opening a coconut with ease.
“Amazing, so there are crabs like this…”
Liu Tian Xian, standing nearby, also came over, her eyes sparkling with interest.
“This coconut crab, it must weigh at least 7 or 8 pounds, right?” Liu Tian Xian examined the coconut crab, asking, “Captain, its claws are so powerful, how did you catch it?”
“With the fishing net!” Tang Chen took out the fishing net from his backpack and placed it on the ground. “Today, our fishing net is a hero, not only catching the coconut crab but also an Indian long-tailed chicken!”
Hearing Tang Chen’s words, the actresses finally noticed that Tang Chen was also holding a long-tailed chicken.
“Wow, wild chicken?!”
Yang Mi and Liu Tian Xian’s eyes lit up at the sight of the long-tailed chicken.
They had not had chicken soup for so long.
These past few days on the island, they had been feasting on seafood every day, almost forgetting the taste of chicken soup.
Seeing their shocked expressions, Liu Shi Shi stepped forward and said, “Captain said this chicken is called an Indian long-tailed chicken…”
She paused for a moment, then continued, “This type of chicken is very rare and extremely alert. It’s thanks to the Captain bringing the fishing net that we were able to catch it!”
“Captain is so amazing!”
Reba and Zhao Jin Mai immediately clapped excitedly.
After seeing the situation of the other teams last night, their sense of happiness had already arisen.
It seemed like as long as the Captain was around, they would never go hungry.
Seeing their energetic spirits, Tang Chen glanced at the sky and said, “Alright, it’s getting late. Everyone go back and rest early. We have to set out to find water sources tomorrow!”
The initial water sources provided by the program crew were running low, with only enough for a day at most.
However, they had been very economical with their usage.
The actresses from other teams didn’t follow the rules.
After waking up in the morning, they secretly used the only water source to wash their faces and brush their teeth, depleting the program crew’s initial water supply, leaving their entire team without water to drink.
Their team captain was almost driven crazy.
…
The next morning.
The morning sun shone brightly on the earth, painting a vibrant scene around them.
After waking up, Tang Chen quickly calculated their remaining food supplies.
Currently, their staple foods were cassava and green bananas.
For vegetables, they had dried grilled octopus, dried crab meat, and so on.
These dried goods were both fresh and fragrant, perfect for making cassava and green banana porridge.
Besides food, they also had a pile of coconuts. Even if they couldn’t find a water source for now, they had enough to last them for a few days.
In addition, they had the coconut crab and long-tailed chicken they caught last night.
The coconut crab weighed at least 7 or 8 pounds, and the long-tailed chicken was also very plump, at least 3 or 4 pounds.
Just these two delicacies were enough for their daily rations.
“Captain, I’ve made octopus and seafood porridge…”
As Tang Chen was looking at the food supplies and pondering, he suddenly heard Dilraba’s voice coming from behind him.
“Oh?”
Tang Chen turned around and glanced at Reba, slightly surprised. “Reba, you woke up so early?”
He had just gotten up and was planning out the remaining ingredients. He hadn’t even had a chance to look at the cooking area yet.
Unexpectedly, Reba, this “sea snail girl,” had already woken up and made breakfast.
Hearing Tang Chen’s words, Reba smiled and said, “Captain, not only did I wake up early, but all the other sisters woke up too…”
She said seriously, “We saw how tired you were last night, and we wanted to give you some nourishment, so… we all got up and cooked together!”
Ah?
You were so tired last night, I want to give you some nourishment?
What kind of tiger talk is this?
