My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 818 - 817: Deserted Island (1/2)

On a small island 200 kilometers from the shipwreck site in the Sea Region.

The scorching sun blazed down on the beach, turning the fish and shrimp washed up by the waves into dried-up husks.

On the beach lay a person, face down, with the skin on his back scorched and revealing red flesh, cracked under the burning sun, appearing extremely horrifying.

"Ugh!" The man groaned, coughing and spitting out some seawater.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

With a fit of heart-wrenching coughs, the man struggled to get up.

His face was covered in sand, his eye corner was cracked, traces of blood clinging to his face; the left side of his face was swollen due to a collision, and he looked pale from excessive blood loss; perhaps due to prolonged exposure to seawater, his entire face appeared waterlogged.

Yet, it was still recognizable that this person was Yang Chen.

Yang Chen struggled to stand, his body wobbling unsteadily.

He shook his head, attempting to clear his mind, but because of extreme weakness, he collapsed back onto the ground with a thud.

"Ye Xin... Ye Xin..." Although Yang Chen was currently extremely weak, suffering from excessive blood loss and dehydration, the only thought in his mind was Ye Xin.

Splash!

The waves surged, bringing a slight chill, making Yang Chen a bit more alert.

Yang Chen struggled to crawl into the seawater, washing his face with it, feeling somewhat better.

He stood up, observing the surroundings.

In front of him was an endless sea horizon.

Turning around, there was a deserted island; he could only see tropical plants in front of the beach, further obscured by the mountain.

"I'm... not dead..." Yang Chen's chaotic mind analyzed, realizing that he might have been washed ashore by the sea, surviving by luck.

Immediately, he looked around, besides some broken planks and some white debris, there wasn't a second person in sight.

A flicker of panic flashed in Yang Chen's eyes, and his expression was somewhat anxious as he struggled to run forward a few steps.

He still saw no one.

Immediately, he turned and ran towards the other side of the beach.

Still no one.

"Ye Xin!" Yang Chen shouted.

But due to prolonged dehydration, Yang Chen's voice was hoarse, and shouting so loud instantly caused a scratchy throat, as if filled with sand, uncomfortable.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Yang Chen had another fit of dry cough.

He knew he was severely dehydrated right now.

But in his anxious heart, he couldn't care about his own body, frantically running back and forth on the beach, trying to find any trace of Ye Xin.

However...

He was destined for disappointment.

"Ye Xin... no... Ye Xin!" Yang Chen collapsed onto the ground, his eyes vacant, his face full of pain.

At this moment, Yang Chen was filled with self-blame.

"I shouldn't have agreed back then! Shouldn't have!" Yang Chen mumbled to himself.

"I knew it would be dangerous, why did I agree to stay with her? Damn it! I deserve to die! Ye Xin..."

Back then, Yang Chen knew that the enemy's ship had extremely advanced technology and would definitely discover them the moment they opened fire.

But Yang Chen still couldn't resist Ye Xin, allowing her to stay.

He knew at the time that there would definitely be problems.

At this moment, Yang Chen took all the responsibility onto himself.

Believing that if anything happened to Ye Xin, it was all his fault!

The sea breeze blew, bringing Yang Chen back to his senses slightly, feeling a wave of weakness washing over him.

"No! I must find Ye Xin! I have to find her!" Yang Chen struggled to stand, regaining some rationality, deciding to first adjust his body.

Because he could sense his current condition, if this continued, he surely wouldn't make it through the night!

Walking towards the direction of the forest.

What he needed to do now was replenish his water supply.

On the sea, the most precious resource was freshwater.

Seawater was undrinkable, only causing more thirst; he had to find freshwater.

But on such an island, the chances of finding freshwater were almost zero.

So, he set his sights on coconut trees.

Coconut juice was the best thing to replenish nutrients.

Yang Chen found a suitable rock, then climbed a coconut tree, and forcefully knocked down several coconuts.

He smashed the coconuts open with the rock, drinking the coconut juice in large gulps and digging out the coconut meat.

Although he was extremely dehydrated, it was not advisable to drink excessively; this way, the body wouldn't be able to absorb it.

After drinking the juice of two coconuts, he stood up, trying to find some herbs in the forest.

After all, his injuries were quite serious.

The explosion had roasted his entire back. Although he couldn't see the condition of his back, he could imagine that the wound was definitely terrible. If not treated promptly, in such a climate with sea breezes and hot, humid air, within a week, he would be infected and die!

The reason why primitive people lived so briefly was that they didn't have adequate medical conditions and knowledge. If a wound got infected, it basically meant death.

Now, Yang Chen faced a similar situation on this island.

Because the air on the island was hot and moist, plants grew densely, with large leaves and aerial roots everywhere, along with many poisonous insects and snakes; Yang Chen had to tread carefully.

After taking a few steps, Yang Chen suddenly felt something was wrong.

He abruptly turned his head, seeing a snake coiling on a branch.

The snake was flicking its tongue at him, emitting a hissing sound from its mouth, signaling an intention to attack!

Yang Chen's sharp eyes narrowed, a cold gleam flashed, preparing to strike and kill it.

But suddenly, his peripheral vision caught something else, making his pupils contract tightly.

Snakes!

And more snakes!

Hiss, hiss!

A densely packed group of them!

This was indeed a snake nest! 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Looking at the distant dense cluster of snakes, Yang Chen's scalp tingled.

If there were only a few, he wouldn't be afraid; he could easily handle them. But with so many snakes, even at his peak without any tools, he could only manage to avoid being bitten. Trying to kill thousands of venomous snakes was extremely difficult. Especially now when he was severely weakened and injured.

Immediately, Yang Chen retreated quickly from the area.

Avoiding the snake swarm, Yang Chen furrowed his brows.

Some islands might form a snake ecosystem, where there's prey for the snakes, and the snakes themselves have predators, forming a cycle.

In such a situation, these species usually occupy one place, not interfering with each other, but those that stray will become prey.

With that said, Yang Chen was convinced that there were definitely other group species elsewhere, though he didn't know what they were.

But one advantage was that where such venomous snakes gathered, there might be some medicinal herbs.

So, Yang Chen thought it was still necessary to brave the snake swarm.

Just then, Yang Chen suddenly heard a gunshot.

There were other people here!!!
