When the students returned to the beach, the sun was already down.

Seeing the ever-rising white smoke from a large bonfire, Lei Yin knew that it should not be long before someone found them here. Now that the food and water problem have been solved, those students who previously wanted to explore the island to look for other people, after experiencing the danger in the jungle, thought that it was not that important.

In the evening, Lei Yin sat quietly beside the campfire talking to the foreign couple.

After their hunger and thirst have been satiated, the spirit of that old couple became much better. For this experience – a simple trip turned into survival on a deserted island – that old man seemed to be more optimistic than his wife. He told Lei Yin that, in his younger days, he wanted to go for an adventure. But when he was young, that was an unrealistic fantasy. Unexpectedly, when he retired, he really has such an opportunity.

In recent days, Lei Yin has shown various survival skills. Seeing this, that old man was very interested, so he constantly asked him questions. Therefore, without any better option, Lei Yin had to speak one minute and be quiet the next toward him. This was the first time he found that the old man could actually be so long-winded.

Suddenly he felt someone was approaching him. Lei Yin turned his head to look. He saw that several female students were walking hesitantly toward him.

When they came in front of him, one of the girls timidly said: “Student, student Gennai, do you have a second?”

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s like this, today it was all thanks to your help, so we want to say our gratitude, thank you.”

“It’s nothing, it only took a very slight effort from me.” Lei Yin dismissively said.

After looking at the meaningful glance of her companions, she said: “We have something to ask you, but we don’t know if it would inconvenience you?”

Lei Yin looked down at the sleeping little girl who used his thigh as her pillow and then said to them: “Sit down and then you can talk about it. However, please keep it down.”

These several female students sat down immediately.

“What do you want to ask?”

“Student Gennai, can you tell us where to take a bath? We have....” That girl was somewhat embarrassed to say it.

Today, those female students saw Lei Yin and Amy came back looking very clean and knew they have found a hot spring that can be used to bath. But at the time, they did not dare to ask him. However, as time dragged on, they finally could not resist.

Hearing her request, Lei Yin could not help but smile, “If you are not afraid to take another trip to the jungle, I can take you to the hot spring tomorrow.”

“Do you mean it?” That several female students suddenly exclaimed.

Seeing their desire to take a bath far greater than their fear of jungle, Lei Yin has nothing to say.

After a few words of dialogue, those female students found that this “human weapon” was not as scary as they imagined, at least for now.

After getting his affirmative answer, those female students did not immediately leave. The girl who was responsible for the “diplomacy” asked him again: “Student Gennai, how long do you think before we can be found?”

“As long as everyone is willing to cooperate, it should be no more than two days.”

“By tomorrow, you will know it.” Lei Yin said and then reached out his hand to add some dry twig to the fire.

Seeing him unwilling to say it, those girls did not dare to ask.

After a while, she said to him: “Student Gennai, this time, we are lucky to have you, otherwise, we can’t imagine what would this turn out.”

Looking up at them, Lei Yin revealed a meaningful smile, “Did it ever occur to you, perhaps if we stay on board the ship for another day or two, an aircraft will find and rescue us, instead of living like a primitive human in this deserted island? Do you really think you should be grateful to me?”

They can’t believe he would say that. The girl was speechless. The other girls also showed a stunned expression.

After thinking for a moment, the girl said: “I don’t know if the situation would occur just like what student Gennai said, but at least we are all still alive. Therefore, I am really grateful to you.”

Lei Yin smiled, “If your heart really thinks so, then I accept your gratitude. What date is it now?”

The girl immediately pulled out her phone – which was unable to receive signal and she only used it as a timer to save the battery – and then replied: “Today is 15th.”

“So, for other people, we have been missing for seven days.” Lei Yin muttered to himself. He remembered about Kazumi, How is she now? And then Naoko, I hope she doesn’t know about this, otherwise, I don’t know how that fool will worry about me.

The next day, Lei Yin asked the students to make as many bonfires as possible. And then tell them to burn some wet branches with some grass on it. By doing so, they will produce a lot of smoke. Yesterday, he also thought that elderly foreign couple this method to send a distress signal.

Now with these many people, as long as each two of them lit a fire to send the distress signal this way, they would soon attract the attention of an aircraft or a ship.

These students found that this method was very good, so they divided themselves and built these fires.

Lei Yin and Akira Hiroshi went to the hot springs to bring back fresh water. The female students who wanted to take a bath also followed him as per their agreement last night.

Like yesterday, the jungle was still unbearably hot. But since they did not walk aimlessly, Akira Hiroshi and those several female students subjectively felt it was more relaxed than yesterday.

After walking for about half an hour, Lei Yin suddenly heard a strange voice. He immediately stopped, held Amy on his bosom with one of his hand, and carefully lifted the branch with his other hand.

Seeing him like this, the other people can’t help but feel very nervous.

Following that way, Lei Yin soon saw the source of that sound. In this jungle, there was actually a two-meter deep earth pit that was wide at the mouth but narrow at the bottom. Inside that pit, a gray hare constantly wanted to jump out, but because it was too high, so far, it was unable to.

“Hey, it’s a little bunny.” Amy very happily called out.

Seeing the hare, Lei Yin also felt very happy. But he had a different idea than the naive one from the little girl. The reason he was glad was because he was tired of eating those shellfish. This was a rarely found wild animal.

“Kid, wait here. Remember, do not move.” Seeing the hare has the possibility to jump out of the pit, he immediately put the girl down, and then looked for something to hold him as he went down. Actually, he did not need to hold onto something because this was just a two-meter deep pit. But since there were outsiders nearby, he did not want to reveal his power.

After a while, he tore off a vine from a tree. After determining that it was fairly solid, he immediately went back to the pit and tied the vine to a nearby tree. He then pulled the vine and slowly climbed down the pit.

The girls did not think that he would take such a risk just for a hare, so within their wishful thinking, they were deeply moved. Akira Hiroshi, who knew that Lei Yin definitely has no such compassion, quickly understood his intention and could not help but force out a wry smile.

After arriving at the bottom of the pit, Lei Yin grabbed that hare by the ears. After pulling it up a bit with his hand, he estimated that the hare was at least two pound in weight. He could not help but smile.

After catching the hare, he can only use one of his hand to climb up. Although using one hand to climb up was difficult for an average people, for Lei Yin, it was not a problem at all.

But just before he grabbed the vine to climb up to the surface, he suddenly heard a metallic sound when he stepped on something on the ground.

His mind moved. He immediately stepped his foot into that place again. Sure enough, once again he heard that same metallic sound.

Lei Yin’s curiosity was piqued. He immediately picked up a twig to dig in that spot.

After digging just a little, he felt that twig touched something that was very hard.

After digging again next to that spot, the result was still the same, just a little dig and he can no longer dig anymore deeper.

He quickly dug the surrounding soil. After digging a pit nearly the size of a basketball, he finally found the thing hidden underneath. It turned out to be a piece of metal plate. That metal piece was very large. He probed the other areas by sticking the twig into the soil and found out that the whole pit was actually on top of that metal.

When he was about to continue to examine the area, Akira Hiroshi’s voice came from the top: “Student Gennai, are you okay?”

Looking up at those students on top, Lei Yin thought for a moment before he answered: “I am all right, I am going up now.”

He then nonchalantly covered that exposed metal plate with the soil using his feet. After that, he quickly grabbed the tree vine and climbed out from that earth pit.

Seeing him finally came up, the several girls were suddenly relieved. Just now they saw him stayed in that pit for a long time and thought that something happened to him.

“Little bunny, little bunny.” Seeing Lei Yin carried the hare with his hand, the little girl very excitedly rushed over.

Those girls could not help but also come.

“Grab it by the ears, be careful not to let it escape.” To see the little girl wanted to hold it, he gave it to her. He planned on making this hare as tonight’s dinner for her.

The little girl immediately grabbed the hare’s ear gingerly. And then she put it on her arms. The several other girls also bent down to touch the hare on her bosom.

After glancing at them, Lei Yin turned his head to look at the pit and then pondered.

“Student Gennai, what happened?” Seeing his thoughtful expression, Akira Hiroshi asked.

“It’s nothing, let’s go.”

“Good.”
