Chapter 995: Messenger Pigeons

From that day onward, Director Zhou’s assistant practically lived in the office.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes every day was the computer monitor. And the last thing he saw before sleeping was still the computer.

The endless livestream watching had tortured him so badly that he felt like he never wanted to watch another stream for the rest of his life.

One moment, he’d check whether Wang Yun’s group had made any new moves.

The next moment, he’d check how far Wu Yaoming and Claist’s teams had gotten.

He was being worked half to death.

***

Meanwhile, Wang Yun’s group had actually been living pretty leisurely these past two days.

Not because Big Mouth and the others wanted to relax, but they simply didn’t dare go outside.

Over the past few days, Wang Yun had gone out alone several more times and set up additional small traps.

He had also gone to check the shoreline.

That enormous cruise ship had already burned down into nothing but wreckage. No one would ever notice anything unusual anymore.

Wang Yun had even gone alone to the grassy area near the shore, digging numerous pits and burying sharp spikes inside them.

Anyone invading this place would never leave alive.

Wang Yun walked alone toward the courtyard.

As he walked, he continuously erased his own footprints. Suddenly, a miserable series of cooing sounds reached his ears.

Two injured pigeons had been cornered by a snake.

Wang Yun moved a little closer.

Only then did he realize that only one pigeon was injured. The other healthy pigeon simply refused to abandon its companion.

Facing the large snake before them, the two pitiful pigeons cried out miserably. It sounded almost like a final farewell to the world.

Watching the pigeons, Wang Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up with an idea.

So he slowly approached the snake.

The snake still hadn’t realized disaster was about to strike. It happily flicked its tail back and forth, as though celebrating the feast it was about to enjoy.

Just as the snake opened its huge jaws, preparing to swallow the two helpless pigeons—

Wang Yun arrived beside it.

The snake seemed to sense something nearby and hurriedly turned its head, trying to aim its mouth toward Wang Yun.

But Wang Yun paid no attention to its movements at all.

With a single grappling motion, he instantly seized the snake seven inches below the head.

The two pigeons seemed to realize they’d been saved. They stared at Wang Yun and cooed nonstop.

Wang Yun smiled at them.

“You two are pretty smart.”

He walked over and picked up the injured pigeon with the hurt wing, while the healthy pigeon kept circling around him.

Just like that, Wang Yun carried the two pigeons and the dead snake back with him.

The moment he entered the courtyard, Big Mouth rushed over eagerly to greet him.

Being trapped in the courtyard all day had bored him to death.

There was no internet here, and they weren’t allowed to go outside. He honestly had no idea what to do with himself anymore.

Finally, he saw Wang Yun return carrying something in his hands.

Excited, Big Mouth immediately ran over while loudly shouting,

“Boss, you’re amazing! You even brought us two pigeons and a snake!”

As he spoke, he licked his lips greedily like a complete glutton.

Wang Yun glared at him irritably.

“You can have the snake. We’ll add an extra dish tonight. But the pigeons are off-limits.”

Big Mouth looked confused.

“If we’re not eating the pigeons, what are they for?”

Wang Yun couldn’t even be bothered answering him.

He simply walked into the house.

At the doorway, he happened to run into Ying Yuezi, who was just coming out.

Wang Yun quickly stopped her.

“Ying Yuezi, do you still have any medicine for external wounds?”

The moment she heard that, Ying Yuezi instantly became nervous. She hurriedly looked Wang Yun up and down. But she couldn’t find any visible injuries on him.

Could he have been hurt somewhere hidden beneath his clothes?

Ying Yuezi anxiously looked at him.

“Where are you hurt?”

Wang Yun quickly shook his head.

“Not me. I’m not injured.”

Seeing her confused expression, Wang Yun raised the pigeon in his hands slightly and explained,

“It’s this little guy. It’s the one that got hurt.”

Only then did Ying Yuezi finally relax. She shot Wang Yun a mildly reproachful glance. Then she took the pigeon and walked back inside.

Not long afterward, she returned carrying the treated pigeon in her arms.

Looking puzzled, she asked Wang Yun,

“What exactly are you planning to do with these two?”

Wang Yun simply smiled mysteriously without explaining. Then he turned around to find food for the pigeons.

Leaving Ying Yuezi standing there completely confused.

At that moment, Big Mouth came running over excitedly after finishing cleaning the snake.

“Tonight you guys are in for a treat! I’m making roasted snake this time!”

Xiao Gao walked over curiously.

“Is roasted snake good?”

Big Mouth rolled his eyes at him.

“Wasn’t the snake soup I made for you guys last time delicious?”

The moment snake soup was mentioned, everyone immediately began reminiscing.

Then they all nodded in unison.

Big Mouth proudly lifted his chin.

“I guarantee roasted snake will taste even better than the snake soup last time!”

Hearing his words, everyone’s eyes filled with anticipation. Except for Wang Yun, who remained fully focused on feeding the pigeons.

He never explained what he planned to do with them.

And nobody bothered asking.

By now, everyone was used to Wang Yun constantly doing unexpected things.

Meanwhile, Wu Yaoming had already arrived at the area where Wang Yun’s group had encountered the typhoon before.

It wouldn’t be long before he discovered this island.
