Yang Mimi wore a loose cotton long T-shirt that reached mid-thigh, showing off her slim waist and long legs. The edge of her shorts could be vaguely seen beneath the T-shirt. Her hair was tied in a low ponytail, with a few loose strands falling across her face.

The moonlight shone on her face, highlighting her round, big eyes, upturned nose, and ever-smiling lips, giving her a youthful and charming appearance.

Yang Mimi saw Fan Yubing come out of Qin Chuan's room without showing the slightest surprise.

The two people looked at each other at the doorway.

Yang Mimi lowered her voice: "How are you? Are you asleep?"

Fan Yubing nodded: "She's asleep. Keep it down. I'll leave the rest of the night to you."

"OK."

Fan Yubing smiled slightly and turned to walk towards her room.

Yang Mimi watched Fan Yubing's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, took a deep breath, and then tiptoed into Qin Chuan's room.

The door was quietly closed.

Yang Mimi stood at the doorway, letting her eyes adjust to the light in the room. The soft blue light from the luminescent stone illuminated Qin Chuan on the bed; he was lying on his side, breathing evenly, and appeared to be asleep.

Yang Mimi bit her lip, took off her cloth shoes, and walked barefoot to the bedside.

She carefully lifted the corner of the blanket and crawled inside.

The cotton quilt was soft and warm, and Qin Chuan's body temperature wafted over from a short distance.

Yang Mimi moved closer to Qin Chuan, pressing her body against his back. She reached out and placed her hand on Qin Chuan's waist.

Qin Chuan stirred slightly in his sleep, but did not wake up.

Yang Mimi pressed her face against Qin Chuan's broad back and closed her eyes.

Her heart was beating so fast she could hear it herself.

In fact, Yang Mimi and Qin Chuan had already had intimate contact. The first few times, it was Qin Chuan who took the initiative. Although she appeared cheerful on the surface, her heart would pound for a long time each time.

Mina spoke with her today.

After eating the firebird meat in the afternoon, Mina pulled Yang Mimi aside and told her about the beast tide and Qin Chuan's need to quickly improve his strength.

Yang Mimi agreed immediately after hearing the answer.

The reason is simple. She likes Qin Chuan. From the first day they arrived on this island, Qin Chuan has been everyone's pillar of support.

He was always at the forefront of everything: carrying logs, cutting down trees, hunting, building houses, cooking.

Yang Mimi has a carefree personality, but she knows in her heart that without Qin Chuan, their group would have been finished long ago.

So when Mina said, "We'll take turns keeping Chuan Ge company tonight," Yang Mimi didn't hesitate at all.

I'm just a little nervous.

Yang Mimi pressed herself against Qin Chuan's back, feeling his even breathing and warm body temperature. Gradually, her tension subsided, and drowsiness crept in.

Half asleep, Yang Mimi also fell asleep.

What happened next occurred quietly in the soft blue light.

......

When it was dawn, Qin Chuan opened his eyes.

Something warm was pressed against his arm. He turned his head and saw Yang Mimi. What was she doing in his room?

Qin Chuan looked out the window at the sky; it was already getting light.

He rubbed his temples and realized his lower back was a little sore.

Yang Mimi woke up at this moment.

She turned to look at Qin Chuan, her eyes still heavy with sleep.

"Oh no, I overslept!" Yang Mimi jumped out of bed. "Brother Chuan, sleep a little longer, I'll make breakfast."

After saying that, Yang Mimi hurriedly put on her clothes, tidied her hair, and then ran out the door barefoot.

Qin Chuan watched Yang Mimi's figure disappear like the wind, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He held his breath and struggled to sit up; his back was really sore.

Qin Chuan sat by the bed for a long time before he fully woke up.

[Fine, to become stronger, to protect everyone, I'll give it my all.]

Half an hour later, Qin Chuan washed his face, drank half a bowl of milk, and left the room.

The courtyard was already bustling with activity. Yang Mimi was cooking noodles in front of the stove; the noodles in the iron pot were tumbling in the boiling water, and the aroma of wheat filled the air.

Keiko Kitagawa squatted next to the bucket of water, washing tomatoes, splashing water everywhere.

"Good morning, Brother Chuan." Lin Shishi greeted Qin Chuan with a smile.

"morning."

Looking at the eight girls bustling around the camp, Qin Chuan felt reassured.

Everything that needs to be said must be made clear today.

"Everyone, please stop for a moment. I have something to say."

Qin Chuan's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was very serious.

Everyone stopped moving. Yang Mimi's spatula hung in mid-air, Kitagawa Keiko's tomato was still dripping with water, Liu Yifei looked up, and Liu Yan and Dilina also turned around.

Qin Chuan stood at one end of the dining table and looked around at everyone's faces.

"When I was exploring around the island before, I found a huge painting on the beach in the north."

Qin Chuan recounted the entire story of the giant painting. The island map, the cave markings, and the entrance to the underground forest were all accurate. The other half of the painting depicted a meteor shower and a beast tide.

The camp fell silent when the topic of the beast tide came up.

Yang Mimi was the first to break the silence.

"Brother Chuan, when is the beast tide coming?"

"It's uncertain. It could be a month, or it could be a week. So we must start preparing now."

Liu Yifei spoke up: "Is the specific time of the meteor shower marked on the giant painting? Or is there any celestial indication?"

"No. The image only shows a cause-and-effect relationship: the meteor shower is coming, and the beast tide will follow. As for the specific time, there is no information in the painting."

Liu Yifei pushed aside the stray hairs on her forehead.

"Then I suggest that everyone take turns observing the celestial phenomena every night. There should be some signs before a meteor shower arrives, the most obvious being the appearance of scattered meteors in the sky. If we can spot the signs in advance, we will have more time to prepare."

Qin Chuan nodded: "Good idea."

Liu Yan raised her hand: "Brother Chuan, I have a question. After the beast tide arrives, what will the levels of those beasts be? If they're just level one or two wild boars, a larger number isn't a problem. But if they're high-level beasts..."

Qin Chuan's expression turned serious.

"The giant painting depicts many kinds of strange beasts, some from land and some from the sea. Their specific levels are not clear, but there are definitely a lot of them. I once saw an 88-level plesiosaur crawling up from the sea to eat. Even a single beast of that level could bring destruction."

The moment those words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.

"If we can't win, we'll hide. I'll start building underground fortifications today, digging a large enough underground fortress beneath the camp. The fortress will be at least ten meters deep, with the outer walls entirely reinforced with stone. We'll stockpile enough food, fresh water, and other supplies inside. When the beast tide comes, everyone will move underground."

Yang Mimi raised her hand timidly.

"Brother Chuan, what if the beast tide lasts a long time? How many days can we hold out underground?"

"It depends on how much supplies we've stockpiled. So starting today, everyone's focus needs to be adjusted."

Qin Chuan scanned each person with his gaze.

"First, I am in charge of building underground fortifications. The daily quota of one hundred square meters of stone construction is entirely used for underground fortifications."

"Secondly, Mina will be in charge of hunting. She's currently strong enough to handle low-level beasts, ensuring a supply of meat."

Mina nodded and sharpened the machete on the whetstone a couple more times.

"Third, Yang Mimi, Fan Yubing, and Huizi are in charge of food processing. They will make firebird meat, venison, and wild boar meat into dried meat, and fruit into dried fruit. These dried foods can be stored for a long time and are the core rations in the underground fortress."

Yang Mimi immediately perked up.

"No problem, leave it to me. I can make smoked meat, cured meat, and dried fruit."

"Fourth, Lin Shishi, Liu Yan, and Dilina will be in charge of processing cotton and wool. The temperature is low in the underground fortress, so we need enough bedding and clothing."

Lin Shishi nodded: "Understood, Brother Chuan."

"The rest of the people will assist Liu Yifei in continuing to manage the planting area in the backyard, while also overseeing celestial observations."

"OK."
