“How could this be? Why didn’t I keep an eye on her yesterday? Why didn’t I notice that she wasn’t in her tent before I slept yesterday…” Wen Peiling was shaking, looking like she was very much affected as the other girls comforted her.
“It’ll be fine, Shuya will be fine…” Xiang Chishi was also horrified but she willfully forced herself not to be scared.
Yun Jian walked over to them after she hopped off the tree.
“Did you find her?” Wen Peiling ran to hold Leng Hanzhe’s hands and asked when he and the guys came back from the beach.
Leng Hanzhe shook his head, pushing Wen Peiling who was grabbing his hands away unnoticeably, before going to Yun Jian and Mu Ying.
“Yun Jian, are we leaving in this situation or…” Leng Hanzhe asked for Yun Jian’s opinion.
“We stay,” Yun Jian answered without any hesitation.
“F*ck, my cousin’s missing! Are you f*cking for real? You’re happy that she’s missing, aren’t you? You resent her because of how she treated you previously, right?!” Han Ming would have pounced at Yun Jian in berserk if others had not held him back.
“You can leave, if you’re able to leave,” Yun Jian stood still and made the comment that bewildered everyone with her eyes looking down.
“What do you mean?” Han Ming questioned anxiously as he took two seconds staring at Yun Jian.
“There are signal jammers installed around here. The SOS transmitters we have are already ineffective.”
When a girl with a relatively hot figure walked over from the side, people realized that it was Mu Ying upon a closer look. She had three to four items that looked like routers in her hands but they were not actually routers.
“I only found four. These are all over the island. The drillmasters won’t be able to receive calls from our SOS transmitters,” Mu Ying passed the four signal jammers to Yun Jian before she explained to the group.
“Haven’t you found them then?” A few students who were skeptical quickly pressed the button on their SOS transmitters but… they waited for 10, 20, 30 minutes and there was not even a noise—forget about their drillmasters sending helicopters to save them.
“H-how… how could this be?” It was only then the students were aware of the situation’s severity and were clutched in fear.
“Unless we find all the signal jammers within 100 meters around us, your SOS transmitters are useless,” Yun Jian straightened up and said after she took apart and checked the signal jammers that Mu Ying passed her. While she spoke, she tossed the signal jammers in her hands to the ground.
“The effective range of these signal jammers is only 100 meters but to find them, we have to rummage the ground, trees, leaves, anything that could hide these things within 100 meters,” Yun Jian said.
“I found four just now within 100 meters. There are probably more,” Mu Ying said.
“Find the signal jammers if you guys want to get out of here and find Lin Shuya.” Yun Jian pointed at the signal jammers that were thrown on the ground.
…
The fifth day, all of them looked for the signal jammers together and found over ten of them when it came to the sixth day.
Yun Jian had only grabbed Lin Yuan’s SOS transmitter and taken a look when she suddenly stood up and announced, “There’s one more signal jammer within 100 meters. As long as that’s found, the SOS transmitters can be used within the range.”
This was absolutely intentional!
It was not just 100 meters—every corner in the island was installed with the signal jammers. Someone did it on purpose.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go find it!” Wen Peiling clenched her fists and said fervently.
“Yeah! We need to contact the drillmasters as soon as we can. Lin Shuya’s rucksack is with us. If something happens to her, we…” Xiang Chishi said a little timidly.
“Nonsense! Nothing’s happening to her! My cousin won’t—” Han Ming started but someone shouted at them from afar, “Found it! Over here!”
The student had found the last signal jammer. Just as his fear morphed to joy of about to be saved soon and he dug the last signal jammer out of the ground, he stumbled back and happened to step on something soft in the bushes. As he regained his balance and stuck his head to check curiously, he saw…
…
Standing farther away, Yun Jian saw the student turning toward the bushes to check the ground just as she turned around. At the same time, she saw the student yelling and falling to the ground before he shrieked like he had lost his mind, “Ah! Argh! Blood! Ah! Lin Shuya! She’s d-d-dead…”
