When Song Fan spoke, the man didn’t know what to say. The three people around him exchanged glances, clearly discussing their options.

She didn’t push further, knowing that matters of life and death required careful consideration.

Their location was indeed far from the elevator, and Song Fan had already heard some of the group murmuring complaints.

“Do you know where the food is?” Song Fan asked, pulling the man aside.

He nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, I know.”

Song Fan gestured for Cao Lei to come over. “Take a few people and follow this guy to find the food. Let’s have a good meal and regain our strength before we head up.”

Cao Lei was almost moved to tears. Following the right leader meant food! His judgment had been spot on.

In less than half an hour, the group returned with over thirty cans of food.

Everyone was starving, and within a minute of opening the cans, there were only empty containers left. Even though it was the cheapest, lowest-quality canned food from the supermarket, everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. It was the most filling meal they’d had since arriving on the island.

Sun Yu approached, chewing quickly while stuffing two cans into Song Fan’s pocket. “Eat up, or these heartless guys won’t leave you any. Hurry up.”

Sun Yu was different from other women, not only in her skills but also in her ungraceful eating habits.

Noticing Song Fan’s speechless expression, Sun Yu laughed and said, “You know, people shouldn’t have hope.”

“Why?” Song Fan asked.

“When I first arrived on the island and witnessed the killing, I knew there was no hope. I thought we’d never make it out alive. So, I figured if I was going to die, I might as well fight till the end and leave it to fate,” Sun Yu said, gently gazing into the distance. “But meeting you changed things. I really believe I can get out of here alive now.”

She looked earnestly at Song Fan, “Don’t forget, you promised to cover my husband’s surgery costs.”

Song Fan smiled at her, and Sun Yu didn’t press further, trusting the young girl implicitly.

Cao Lei then ran over, grinning, “Boss, we have a few extra cans. Here, take them.”

Song Fan indicated she already had some, so Cao Lei, without hesitation, pocketed the cans himself. “Alright, I’ll hold them for you. Didn’t I say? I’ll do the dirty work! Ah, it’s great to finally have food.”

Song Fan suddenly felt a bit envious of him. Focusing on immediate needs might not be such a bad thing.

After everyone had eaten, Song Fan gathered the group to continue moving forward. Following the man’s lead, they found a simple elevator.

It was just a basket hoisted by steel cables, but it could carry seven or eight people at a time.

Song Fan pressed her gun against the leader’s head, indicating he should contact the people above. The man quickly took out a walkie-talkie, “Is anyone up there? Prepare to pull us up.”

“Coming!” The response was quick despite some static. “How many this trip?”

“Over twenty. Stop talking and pull us up quickly.” The leader was terrified, knowing the woman could kill him at any moment.

“Alright, alright, the elevator’s coming down. There’s fish soup today, hurry back for some.”

The leader was visibly scared as Song Fan’s gun occasionally nudged his waist. He cursed into the walkie-talkie, “Drink your sister’s soup!” and then turned it off.

After ending the call, Cao Lei quickly stuffed a pair of insoles into the man’s mouth. The insoles served as makeshift gags, proving somewhat useful.

The elevator descended shakily. Following Song Fan’s orders, everyone smeared mud on their faces to avoid recognition.

Cao Lei led the first group up, comprised of able-bodied young men who were more compliant with Song Fan’s commands.

After several trips, Song Fan, Sun Yu, and the four captives took the final ride.

As the elevator ascended, the four men remained docile, making no attempts to struggle.

Just as they were about to reach the top, someone above remarked, “Boss, I heard there’s a chick this year. Didn’t you find her for the guys to have some fun? Such a waste if she dies in there!”

Laughter erupted from a few others.

Before the elevator even stopped, Song Fan leapt out and stabbed the man who had spoken in the thigh.

“I’ll give you something to enjoy! How’s that feel?”
