“Li Chen, we’ve moved the things in!”

“How about looking at our new house?” Wang Qi said happily.

Finally, Li Chen and the others’ new house was built. He quickly went to the house and opened his backpack. This time, the backpack gave him some medicine.

Medicine was what they needed, so he quickly kept it.

At this moment, Zhao Yu returned with Li Yi’s daughter. After spending some time together, Li Yi’s daughter had already played with Wang Qi and Zhao Yu.

Li Chen suddenly thought of something, so he quickly stopped Li Yi’s daughter. Then, he took out the thing that Li Yi had given him before he died.

“This thing? Ah! It belongs to my father!” Li Yi’s daughter recognized it at a glance.

“Then do you know what this is?” Li Chen quickly asked.

Li Yi’s daughter shook her head and told Li Chen that her father had come to the island because of this thing. Only then did Li Chen realize that the so-called trip to the island was a lie.

After hearing what Li Yi’s daughter said, Li Chen finally knew the truth of the matter. It turned out that Li Yi had obtained this thing. Then, he brought his entire family here in the name of traveling. Moreover, there was a ship full of supplies that was hidden by her father.

Li Chen suddenly remembered that the supplies on the ship should be in that hole in the ground. No wonder Li Yi knew about that hole. The so-called developer had never developed this place.

Li Chen finally understood why the developer suddenly stopped developing after putting in so much effort to transport so much equipment over.

“If that’s the case, then why did Li Yi tell us about this in the end?” Someone beside him said.

“I know. He did it so we could take better care of his daughter. He knew we wouldn’t be able to go back once we got here.”

Li Chen said indifferently. At this moment, Li Yi’s daughter was playing with that thing. After she played with it, she accidentally opened it.

“It can actually be opened!” Zhao Yu said immediately after seeing it.

“It’s so magical. There’s something inside.” Li Yi’s daughter took it out and handed it to Li Chen.

Li Chen took it and opened it. It looked like a map. Moreover, it seemed old. ‘There should be some treasure here,’ Li Chen thought to himself.

There were still many secrets about Li Yi. Now that Li Yi was dead, Li Chen knew that it was even more difficult to figure them out.

Li Chen did not think further and could only focus on building the courtyard wall first. This time, their courtyard wall was not only high but also very thick, like a city wall. Now, with the protection of the courtyard wall, the enemy could only come down from the cliff if they wanted to attack.

However, this cliff was abnormally tall and steep. It was almost impossible for ordinary people to attack from above. Li Chen and the others had built their new house, so they moved everything over and added defensive weapons.

“Why is this happening?!”

“I just want to live here well. I can’t go back. Is it wrong for me to live here?”

Because he was ambushed by Hua Long, Zhang Yang was very vexed. He was thinking about what to do next.

“I think it’s very dangerous for us to close the door without knowing their situation.”

“That’s right. Although we don’t lack anything here and don’t have to worry about food and drink, we have to go out and take a look.”

Zhang Yang was enlightened by the other brothers. Indeed, after such a long time, Zhang Yang had never seen how the others were doing. Zhang Yang made a bold decision.

Zhang Yang brought a few of his brothers along with him and carried some rations on his back. He then went deep into the island to check out the situation. After a long journey, Zhang Yang accidentally arrived at Li Chen’s camp.

“Li Chen actually developed so well? Bastard!”

A sense of jealousy rose in Zhang Yang’s heart. He had thought that he was the best, but he did not expect that Li Chen and the others had already moved into the stone house.

“I want to destroy Li Chen and the others!” Zhang Yang said to his brothers.

After listening to Zhang Yang’s words, the few of them decided to attack Li Chen’s camp.

At night, Zhang Yang took advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak up on Li Chen and his gang. He planned to climb up the wall and ambush them.

Just as Zhang Yang and his gang were about to make their move…

“Who?”

The patrolling men noticed Zhang Yang and his gang and shot a few arrows at them. Zhang Yang and his gang quickly ran away, avoiding the arrows.

“Run!” Zhang Yang shouted and quickly led his brothers away from this place.

“Li Chen, someone just ambushed us again!” The person who had just discovered Zhang Yang and the others quickly came to inform Li Chen.

“What? Another invader?”

“That’s right. A few people tried to climb up the wall just now, but we found them and chased them away.”

Li Chen was very shocked when he heard that. The first person he thought of was Hua Long. Because of what happened last time, Hua Long would definitely hold a grudge, so he probably would ambush them in the dark.

“What did they look like? Did you see them clearly?” Li Chen double-checked.

“They don’t look like Hua Long and the others. It’s impossible for Hua Long and the others to have such clothes.”

When Li Chen heard this, another person suddenly appeared in his mind, and that person was Zhang Yang.

“I know, it might be Zhang Yang!” Li Chen said.

“What? Zhang Yang?”

Everyone was shocked when they heard what Li Chen said. They did not expect Zhang Yang to still be alive. They also did not expect Zhang Yang to still dare to ambush them.

“This time, we have more difficulties. Hua Long is already enough for us to deal with. Now, there’s another one.”

“It’s fine. I believe in our strength. Let’s continue collecting food tomorrow.”

Li Chen comforted everyone. Li Chen felt that the most important thing now was to stock up on food. The more food, the better. Therefore, everyone unanimously decided to start planting food crops the next day and plant all the seeds.

Zhang Yang and his gang did not succeed in ambushing Li Chen. At night, they could only hide in the woods.

“Zhang Yang, what do you think we should do next?” Someone asked.

“What should I do? I’ll go back and think of something when the sun rises.” Zhang Yang quickly voiced out his thoughts.

At dawn the next day, Zhang Yang brought his brothers back to his place. Li Chen and the others came out to check on the situation last night, and they found that someone had indeed climbed this place.

After a few days of running around, Zhang Yang returned to his camp. Zhang Yang checked his rations. It was only enough for a year. Zhang Yang immediately devoted himself to farming.

Li Chen and the others also took action and began to use their current land to sow food in preparation for the future. On the other hand, Hua Long was living the most comfortably at this moment because he had just snatched enough food to feed them for a year and a half.
