“Sister Yuning…I am really sorry,” Jin Mingchen apologized sincerely to Jiang Yuning. “I promise that I will never abandon you again!”

“Only the ghosts would believe your words!” Xu Beishen snorted immediately. “Wow…run, run. The monsters are coming.”

“Beishen, don’t scare him anymore. Some people are just naturally timid and more easily scared compared to others. Mingchen, the monsters are attracted to us and targeting us because of your screams. I am not going to cover your mouth or restrain you after we step out of this building but if you do not take control of your own psychological fears, then we will just keep getting attacked by the monsters. Do you understand?”

Jin Mingchen nodded his head before he said, “I will make sure I do not open my mouth even if I am really afraid.”

“Do you believe him?”

“If we do not give him a chance, he will not learn and he will not grow up. If he does not learn how to overcome his own fears, then who knows if he might suddenly scream at the most critical moment and cause us to lose our chance at victory?” Jiang Yuning asked Xu Beishen.

“Alright then, let’s just give it a try. We can go over to the next building and start searching there instead.”

The four of them were more relaxed and relieved after finding out that the monsters would only be activated if they started screaming.

After picking up their backpacks, they started walking towards the next building.

This time, Jin Mingchen was surrounded by the other three members as they walked out of the building. When Jiang Yuning used her flashlight to look around their surroundings, Jin Mingchen saw a monster that was hidden behind the tall grass and making some mechanical noises. However, the monster remained dormant and did not attack them even though they were only a few feet away from the monster.

Although Jin Mingchen was still very scared, he kept pinching his own thigh to remind himself that he should not scream. He did not want to cause Jiang Yuning any more trouble than he already had.

This time, the four of them made it to the next building without encountering any difficulties at all.

Jin Mingchen could finally breathe and relaxed after they were safely inside the building.

“Are you not scared anymore?”

Jin Mingchen’s eyes were teary because he had always been a very timid person.

“Just think of the monsters as battery-operated machines that are controlled by a remote control. It is the same as the battery-operated toys that you can get from the toy shops. That way, you will not be so scared anymore.”

Jiang Yuning tried her best to comfort Jin Mingchen and calm him down a little.

“Wow…Sister Yuning, if I think of it that way, I really seem to be less fearful of the monsters now.”

“Yuning, we have already searched more than half of the buildings on this island. There seems to be no hints at all. The only things that we keep finding are pistols. Do you think it is time for us to change our strategy?” Xu Beishen asked Jiang Yuning as she sat down on the ground and started eating some of her food supplies.

Jiang Yuning nodded her head as she looked at the pistols in her backpack.

“I have a very bold idea.”

“Tell us.”

“I have a feeling that the clues or hints that we need are hidden on the monsters. Although we know how to stop the monsters from attacking us, we still have no idea how we can restrain them. I think that the production team must have given us all these pistols for this purpose. Therefore, I am certain that the production team has already hidden the important clues and hints on the monsters.”

“So, do you mean to say that we should take the initiative to approach those monsters, then?” Xu Beishen immediately understood what Jiang Yuning was trying to say. Although Jiang Yuning’s idea was really very bold, Xu Beishen felt that it might actually work.

“I would really like to test out my hypothesis but I will need to observe the monsters from a closer range to be able to see if there are any clues hidden on them. Tong Tong, Mingchen, will the both of you be cool with this idea?”

After explaining herself, Jiang Yuning turned around to look at her two male companions.

Tong Tong did not hesitate and he made an okay gesture at Jiang Yuning.

On the other hand, after a long mental struggle with himself, Jin Mingchen finally nodded his head and said, “I am just going to go with it!”

“So, what should we name ourselves? The Abandoners’ Alliance?” Tong Tong joked as he laughed out loud.
