Zhang Long used the same rhetoric he used to talk about them before and categorically rejected it.
Seeing that Zhang Long's attitude was particularly tough and brooked no resistance, everyone secretly sighed and prepared to put the contents back into the box.
John's voice suddenly sounded.
"Zhang Long, have you ever thought about what you will face when you return to the city?"
These words made Zhang Long a little confused.
John was satisfied with the expression on his face and continued: "I also know that all the women in this camp were models in a company when they were in the city."
"But to the outside world, we have been out of contact for almost three months. People in the company will never wait for you for that long."
"By the time you return to the city, everyone's positions will have been replaced. I think you must have thought about this, right?"
After John finished speaking, he looked directly at Zhang Long with his eyes.
"I know that you are the leader of this camp, and everything you do is for the sake of everyone, but if you really think about everyone, you should take out these things and distribute them."
"If I remember correctly, you are just a small employee in the company. Taking out the treasure and dividing it up will be of some benefit to you."
John's eyes were sharp.
Zhang Long couldn't help but frown.
Everyone looked at the expression on his face and were secretly happy.
I don’t know who took the lead in flattering Zhang Long, and the others also followed suit, half coquettishly and half pleading, which can be regarded as giving Zhang Long a step down.
Because everyone knows that this matter is correct from any angle, and Zhang Long has no reason to refute it.
If he had done as John said, when he returned to the city, he would not be as embarrassed as before. After selling the treasure, he would also have some funds, and he would no longer have to watch other people's faces every day.
"All right."
After Zhang Long said this, he turned and left.
Everyone cheered in the room.
It seems that from this day on, most of the women in the camp surrounded John every day.
For them, John was funny, understood women, had a bear to relieve their boredom, and was willing to speak for them, so that the atmosphere in the camp would not be so depressing that they could hardly breathe.
Zhang Long naturally discovered this, but he didn't blame them, because everyone is like this.
Bai Wenwen was also the one who discovered this.
This evening.
Bai Wenwen opened it and talked about it.
"When I heard what you said before, I didn't think anything was wrong. Now I feel more and more that John is a bit strange. Now most of the people in the camp are surrounding him. Will this be bad in the long run?"
Zhang Long lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Actually, I've thought about this too, but there must be one person in the camp who is a good person and someone who is a bad person, so that every day will be fresh."
"Oh, why don't you take this matter to your heart? If John has something in his heart, one day he will lead someone to fight back against you. Let's see what you do then!"
Bai Wenwen was a little angry and stood aside with her hands folded on her chest.
Zhang Long quickly acted coquettishly.
He said that it would have been possible if this incident had happened a few months ago, but after everyone had gone through so many things together, he did not believe that the people in the camp would turn against him because of John.
Then when Bai Wenwen was in a better mood, he pulled her to the bed and blew out the oil lamp.
The next day, everyone gathered together to have dinner.
Zhang Long suddenly raised his head.
"Speaking of which, Zhang Xiaotong has been here for several days since his departure. Why hasn't he come back yet?"
This sentence made everyone couldn't help but frown.
Everyone began to discuss quietly.
But they are all worried about what Zhang Xiaotong will encounter outside alone, a dilemma that she cannot solve by herself.
Zhang Long was also puzzled and immediately decided to go looking for it with John and Peng Hai after eating.
The three of them wandered around the surrounding woods for a whole day, but could not find any trace of Zhang Xiaotong.
Of course, after all, she had never been out of this child, so how could she possibly find traces of it?
At night, Zhang Long looked at the thick darkness around him, and suddenly felt an uneasy feeling in his heart.
Although Zhang Xiaotong is smart, she is still a girl no matter what, and she should not have been allowed to run out alone in the first place.
Thinking of this, I sighed secretly.
"Is it possible that we are looking in the wrong direction?"
John's words made Zhang Longmao suddenly open and slapped his thigh.
"That's right! What we went to today are all the places we usually go to. We all already know what those places are like. How can someone as smart as Zhang Xiaotong still go to those places?"
Peng Hai thought for a while.
"If you want to talk about this place that I have never been to..."
He raised his head and stared at Zhang Long.
"Do you still remember the lake we saw when we walked back after discovering the iron ore?"
Talk about this lake.
Zhang Long suddenly remembered that Zhang Xiaotong seemed to have mentioned it before.
She said that judging from the amount of rainfall, this small island should not form such a large-scale inland freshwater lake, which is really strange.
Could it be that she ran into that lake?
After having this idea, at dawn the next day, the three people immediately set out for the lake.
We arrived at the place quickly.
The water of the lake is particularly clear. When the wind blows gently, waves appear, making it look particularly calm.
But Zhang Long's heart had already begun to surge, because he found a ball of yellow stuff floating in the middle of the lake, which looked very much like Zhang Xiaotong's favorite T-shirt.
Could it be that someone has already encountered something unexpected?
Desperate to see people or corpses, Zhang Long immediately led two people to build a simple raft.
At first, the lake was still very calm.
Suddenly, a small fish jumped out of the water and soon went to the bottom of the lake.
This is a very normal thing, but that fish is not normal!
It is a very ferocious piranha. As long as it is stained with a little bit of blood, it will go crazy. After biting the prey, it will not let go even if it is torn apart by five horses.
Thinking of this, John's back went cold.
But he wasn't going to tell them about it...
When the two of them were not paying attention, they quietly cut their fingers and put them into the water.
In just half a minute, the entire lake seemed to be boiling. The piranhas hit the raft crazily, and some even fell directly onto the deck.
Peng Hai was startled by this sudden turn of events, and his body trembled. If Zhang Long hadn't been holding him beside him, he would have fallen into the lake.
