Chapter 62: This is outright robbery!

Listening to Lin Feng, Ye Tian responded, "Well, regardless of whether this is the Penghu Bermuda and whether the authorities can come to rescue us, the most important thing right now is to gather supplies and survive. Only by staying alive is there hope."

At this, he looked ahead at the helicopter wreckage and chuckled, "Haha, I just realized that the part that crashed right here is the rear section of the helicopter, including the cargo hold."

"Perhaps there really are supplies we need in there!"

Finding this to be true, Lin Feng felt a surge of anticipation.

The two of them then briskly strode toward the helicopter wreckage.

However, the path was choked with thorns, requiring them to use sticks to beat back the vegetation and carve out a way. Despite the short distance, it took them a full half-hour to finally reach the wreckage.

To their dismay, the entire cargo hold was severely deformed and badly damaged inside, leaving almost no room to crawl in.

Ye Tian let out a frustrated sigh, "Sigh, judging by this, even if there were supplies inside, they must have been destroyed."

Lin Feng countered, "No matter what, since we're already here, let's peek through the gaps to check the situation inside. If there really are no supplies at all, we'll leave."

Ye Tian nodded in agreement.

The two of them then circled the helicopter cargo hold, searching for gaps to peer inside.

Suddenly, Ye Tian shrieked, "Lin Feng, a first-aid kit! There's a first-aid kit inside!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng was overjoyed.

A first-aid kit—that would be immensely useful.

He hurried over, peered through a gap, and saw that there indeed was a first-aid kit inside. Beaming with delight, he laughed, "Haha, that's wonderful!"

Calming down a bit, Ye Tian pointed out, "The only flaw is that this cargo hold is severely deformed, and it will be very difficult for us to squeeze in and retrieve the first-aid kit."

"Besides, the gap is tiny, and the kit is jammed inside. Even with our sticks, we can't fish it out."

Lin Feng replied, "Don't get discouraged. Let's look around carefully to see if there are any steel sheets we can use as weapons, then use them to pry and chop this open, slowly widening the gap so we can get the kit out."

With that, he turned and dashed off to search.

Ye Tian turned in the opposite direction, circling the other side of the helicopter wreckage.

Before long, Lin Feng found a steel sheet about seventy to eighty centimeters long and five to six centimeters wide. He ran back to where the first-aid kit was and began hacking away at the wreckage with the metal sheet.

Clang! Clang, clang...

Hearing the noise, Ye Tian knew Lin Feng had succeeded, so he stopped searching and ran over. Taking turns with Lin Feng, they used the steel sheet to hack and widen the gap.

The steel sheet was somewhat awkward to hold, and striking against the metal fuselage sent numb vibrations through their hands with every blow. Even though they layered on plenty of tree leaves as padding, blisters formed on their hands within just a few strikes.

Nevertheless, driven by the desire to secure the first-aid kit, neither of them gave up because of the pain, taking turns with the steel sheet to find a way to enlarge the opening.

After working for over half an hour, they finally managed to widen the gap enough for someone to squeeze inside and retrieve the first-aid kit.

The two exchanged a joyful, triumphant smile, their hearts swelling with a deep sense of accomplishment.

Looking at Ye Tian's bleeding hands, Lin Feng thought to himself how incredibly useful Ye Tian was—not only possessing immense strength, but also showing no fear of pain or hardship.

Had it been the deceased Wang Xingyu, the effeminate Li Hao, or any of those women, they probably wouldn't have lifted a finger even with a knife held to their throats.

Ye Tian was also looking at Lin Feng's bleeding hands. Unable to help himself, he raised a thumb in praise and said, "Lin Feng, you're a real man. You're fully qualified to be the king of this deserted island and lead us to survival. If anyone dares to defy you in the future, I'll deal with them for you."

Lin Feng shook the blood off his hands and smiled, "You're not bad yourself."

Then both of them burst into laughter.

Lin Feng said, "Alright, I'm a bit smaller built, so I'll crawl in to get the first-aid kit. Help me brace the gap with the steel sheet."

"Got it!" Ye Tian acknowledged, taking the steel sheet to assist Lin Feng.

Lin Feng carefully wormed his way into the cargo hold and reached out to touch the first-aid kit.

He gave it a tug and found that it was indeed wedged tightly.

Without panicking, he gently shifted the position of the kit while pulling it outward, adjusting for the optimal angle.

A few minutes later, he found the best angle and pulled the first-aid kit out in one smooth motion.

To his pleasant surprise, tucked right behind the first-aid kit were parachute packs, though they were just out of arm's reach.

He quickly called out, "Ye Tian, there are parachute packs inside too! We can use the packs to carry supplies and spread the parachutes over our straw mats to use as bedsheets. My arms can't reach them, find me a stick."

"Got it, I'll find you a stick right away," Ye Tian responded with a grin. "Haha, I never expected such an unexpected bonus."

He then searched for a branch with a forked end and handed it to Lin Feng.

Taking the branch, Lin Feng used the forked end to hook onto a parachute pack and dragged it out.

Even more surprisingly, there wasn't just one parachute pack; there were more inside.

Lin Feng quickly used the stick to fish them all out, unearthing a total of four parachute packs.

Afterward, they opened the first-aid kit to inspect its contents.

It turned out to be a standard medical first-aid kit containing four small oxygen cylinders, three scalpels, two pairs of scissors, one pair of tweezers, ten rolls of gauze, three rolls of adhesive tape, ten boxes of band-aids, two packs of medical cotton balls, one bottle each of alcohol, disinfectant, and iodophor, as well as four bottles of saline, four bottles of glucose, two bottles of antibiotics, and a variety of standard medications.

Clearly, the search-and-rescue helicopter had been fully prepared to provide various forms of emergency medical treatment to survivors.

"This is a massive haul!"

Lin Feng couldn't help exclaiming.

Ye Tian smiled, "Lin Feng, it's a good thing I listened to you and didn't turn back, otherwise how could we have gotten these vital supplies?"

Lin Feng gave a faint smile and said, "Alright, the sun has set. Let's clean up the injuries on our hands a bit and head back quickly! We can check the rest of the plane wreckage tomorrow to see if there are any more supplies or tools."

"Right!" Ye Tian agreed, holding out his hands for Lin Feng to help treat.

Whoosh!

Right at that moment, a sharp whistling sound cut through the air.

With lightning-fast reflexes, both of them ducked out of the way.

No sooner had they dodged than a wooden dart pierced through the exact spot where Ye Tian's head had been moments before, striking the helicopter cargo hold with a loud, ringing crash.

A clear dent was carved into the metal body of the cargo hold.

One could easily imagine that if Ye Tian hadn't reacted swiftly and ducked in time, his head would surely have been split open.

Lin Feng and Ye Tian rapidly scrambled to either side of the helicopter wreckage for cover.

Then, cautiously peering out, they looked toward the direction from which the wooden dart had been fired.

A few dozen meters away, the brush rustled, and two figures emerged.

The man was holding a bamboo bow and arrow, aiming it squarely at Ye Tian, presumably judging him to be larger and more dangerous.

The woman spoke in a heavy Taiwanese accent, "Leave the first-aid kit and the parachute packs behind, and we might spare your lives."

This was an outright daylight robbery!

They intended to brazenly rob Lin Feng and Ye Tian of the supplies they had risked bleeding blisters for through half a day of arduous labor!
