Chapter 999: Then Do Your Job as a Sentry

Just as Ying Yuezi was marveling at Wang Yun’s intelligence, a puzzled male voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

“But if the three groups are moving together, how are you going to take them down one by one?”

The sudden voice startled Ying Yuezi badly. She hadn’t expected someone to appear out of nowhere. But seeing how calm Wang Yun remained, she immediately realized he must have known someone was there all along.

Ying Yuezi shot Wang Yun a mildly reproachful look.

Then she turned around and looked at Xu Shisan standing behind them.

The one who interrupted their conversation was none other than the observant Xu Shisan.

Someone as sharp as Xu Shisan would naturally notice it too. So he had simply lain there pretending to sleep. And once the two of them came outside to talk, he quietly stood near the doorway listening.

It wasn’t because he enjoyed eavesdropping. He was simply worried about everyone’s safety.

But after hearing Wang Yun explain things so casually to Ying Yuezi, he finally couldn’t hold himself back and stepped out.

Remembering Xu Shisan’s question from earlier, Ying Yuezi and Xu Shisan both turned toward Wang Yun at the same time.

Faced with the two burning gazes fixed on him, Wang Yun let out a helpless sigh.

“I seriously don’t know what to do with you two.”

Then he explained everything he had discovered, along with the plan he intended to carry out.

After hearing it all, the two finally understood once again why Wang Yun was Wang Yun. His intelligence truly wasn’t something ordinary people could compare to.

At the very least, neither of them had thought of this approach.

Once Wang Yun finished explaining his strategy, both of them visibly relaxed.

Unfortunately, the three had been speaking too quietly.

Which completely drove the livestream audience—and Director Zhou and his assistant in the office—crazy with curiosity.

Everyone was desperately trying to figure out exactly what method Wang Yun planned to use to eliminate those people one by one.

“Ahhh! Big Brother’s seriously killing me with suspense!”

“Exactly! What kind of secret is so important that even us fans can’t hear it?”

“I treat you like my big brother, and you treat me like an outsider!”

“Big Brother, my heart is broken!”

“Heartbroken plus one!”

“Maybe Big Brother said something like ‘wait and see’?”

“Well obviously!”

“This is torture! Are there any lip-reading experts in the chat? Figure out what Big Brother said already!”

The livestream viewers continued wildly discussing how Wang Yun planned to deal with the remaining enemies.

Meanwhile, Director Zhou and his assistant sat in the office watching both the livestream and the nonstop flood of comments floating across the screen.

“These people really have too much free time.”

The assistant secretly glanced at his boss.

Internally, he couldn’t help complaining.

‘Aren’t you just as curious about how Wang Yun plans to deal with them? And you’re calling other people bored? You’re the one staring at the computer nonstop!’

Of course, those thoughts remained entirely inside the assistant’s head. He absolutely didn’t dare say them out loud.

Unless he no longer wanted his job.

At this point, Wang Yun and the others had already gone back to sleep.

Even the active viewers in the livestream had long since changed shifts. 

Yet Director Zhou still sat ramrod straight in front of the computer screen.

The assistant watched him with utter confusion.

Could it be that Director Zhou was somehow watching a different livestream from him?

Curious, the assistant quietly leaned over and glanced at the screen.

No mistake—it was still Wang Yun’s livestream.

So was Director Zhou seriously sitting there watching people sleep?

The assistant genuinely could not understand his boss anymore.

What he couldn’t possibly know was that while Director Zhou appeared to be watching Wang Yun sleep, he was actually calculating how long it would take Wu Yaoming to reach the island. How long until Claist’s ship arrived. And how long before the government retrieval team reached the island to collect the cultural relics.

When all those forces gathered together, the island was definitely going to become incredibly lively.

Just imagining it made Director Zhou excited.

Would someone be eliminated by then?

And who would it be?

His face was filled with anticipation.

Meanwhile, the assistant watching his boss felt things were becoming increasingly bizarre.

From his perspective, Director Zhou was staring at Wang Yun sleeping while smiling strangely at the screen.

“Creepy” didn’t even begin to describe it.

Meanwhile, Wang Yun knew that group wouldn’t continue moving during the night. So he quickly seized the opportunity to get some sleep.

Before dawn even arrived, Wang Yun woke up right on schedule.

At that moment, the little pigeon outside the window flew back again.

Seeing everyone asleep, it didn’t dare peck at the window and could only anxiously pace around outside.

Wang Yun woke up quickly. He hurriedly got dressed and opened the door.

The little pigeon immediately flew to his side.

“Coo coo coo! More people are here! More people!”

Wang Yun frowned.

More people?

Could it be that the government team had arrived to retrieve the artifacts already?

That fast?

But after quickly calculating the timing, he realized something was wrong. Even by helicopter, it should still take at least another full day.

At that moment, a bad feeling rose in his heart.

Could it be reinforcements for that group?

And there were a lot of them too.

If that was true, then he really might not be able to defend this place anymore. No matter what, he decided to go take a look first.

Just as he lifted his leg to head outside, the little pigeon suddenly cried out again.

“Coo coo coo! This great lord is hungry! Hungry!”

Wang Yun looked at it helplessly.

The little thing had guarded the island all night long to avoid being turned into roast pigeon. That was why it had been able to notify Wang Yun the very instant someone landed on the island.
