Chapter 23: Wolf Howls Outside the Valley

Some people say that God is very fair. If he opens a door for you, he will surely close another one.

It's undeniable that there is some truth in this statement.

God opened a door for Chu Yang and the others. He gave them a mobile phone, allowing them to see the hope of leaving this deserted island. However, he also closed a door for them. There was simply no mobile phone signal here.

That's right. There was absolutely no signal on Chu Yang's mobile phone at present.

Without a mobile phone signal, this mobile phone was no different from a stone.

Not to mention contacting the outside world, even dialing emergency help numbers wouldn't work.

"There is no mobile phone signal here," Chu Yang said to Liu Qing and Xu Qing.

Upon hearing Chu Yang's words, Liu Qing and Xu Qing immediately had a look of loss and disappointment on their faces.

For a moment, no one spoke.

The previous second, they were still excited and happy about being able to leave this deserted island. But unexpectedly, the next second, their hope was shattered.

Their current mood was like falling from a high building into the abyss all at once.

"It seems that we can't leave this deserted island," Xu Qing sighed dejectedly.

Liu Qing's face was also very gloomy.

As for Qiao Lin, she was even more distraught.

"Alright, there's no need for everyone to look so dejected. As long as we're alive, we must have the hope of leaving this deserted island!" Seeing everyone's expressions, Chu Yang quickly spoke up to comfort them.

"Moreover, although there is no mobile phone signal here, perhaps we can receive a signal if we go to other places. The whole deserted island is so big that we must be able to find a place with a signal."

Chu Yang was also comforting himself and boosting his own morale.

If he gave up now, there would really be no hope at all.

"Hmph, self-deception. It sounds good, but leaving? What do we use to leave? Now this mobile phone can't be used because there's no signal," Qiao Lin heard Chu Yang's comfort and glared at him angrily, as if she wanted to swallow him alive. It was as if Chu Yang was the sinner who prevented them from leaving and made the mobile phone have no signal. Anyway, it was all Chu Yang's fault.

Upon hearing Qiao Lin's words, Chu Yang also got a little angry.

"Alright, Qiao Lin. It's not Chu Yang's fault either. Let's all say less!" Seeing Qiao Lin and Chu Yang arguing again, Xu Qing quickly stepped forward to mediate.

"Moreover, I also think what Chu Yang said just now makes sense. The whole deserted island is so big. Although there is no signal here, there may be a mobile phone signal somewhere. What's most important now is that we can't lose heart and give up."

"That's right. We definitely can't give up. As long as we don't give up, there's hope. Besides, although we're not as well off here as outside, at least we don't lack food for now," Liu Qing's face also returned to normal.

As for Qiao Lin, she snorted coldly and then stopped talking.

Chu Yang didn't pay any more attention to Qiao Lin either. Since Liu Qing and Xu Qing were willing to persevere, he naturally wouldn't give up either.

He turned off the mobile phone and put it in his pocket.

After all, there were no charging devices here. If one day they found a mobile phone signal but the phone ran out of power, that would be terrible.

It was better to save as much as possible for now.

"I'll keep the mobile phone for now. I'll go out later to search for a mobile phone signal on the deserted island and look for a water source at the same time. As for you, stay here and wait for my news," Chu Yang began to arrange the next steps.

"I'll go with you!"

"I'll go with you!"

At this moment, Xu Qing and Liu Qing both said at the same time.

After speaking, Xu Qing and Liu Qing looked at each other.

Chu Yang was also stunned that Xu Qing and Liu Qing both volunteered to go with him.

However, Chu Yang quickly recovered and didn't choose who to go with: "I can go alone. You two stay here."

Originally, Chu Yang didn't plan to take anyone with him.

Because the target Chu Yang chose to go to was the dense forest on the deserted island. Only there were towering peaks, which might have a mobile phone signal.

Chu Yang knew the dangers of the deserted island's dense forest. No one knew what dangers they would encounter or whether they would encounter fierce beasts. Whether it was Liu Qing or Xu Qing, bringing them along would only increase Chu Yang's burden.

But it was different if he went alone.

If he really encountered a fierce beast and couldn't fight it, at least he could run without any scruples.

"This..." Xu Qing and Liu Qing still wanted to say something but hesitated.

But after seeing Chu Yang's firm expression, the two finally nodded in agreement.

After packing up, Chu Yang took the axe he had made earlier and was about to go out.

Xu Qing and Liu Qing didn't have anything to do in the valley either and were about to go out with Chu Yang to look for fish and shrimp food at the beach where the tide had receded.

After all, these fish and shrimp were still their main food for the time being.

"Ao!" Just as they were about to set off, a deep howl of a wild beast sounded in the valley.

The four of them, Chu Yang and the others, all changed their expressions.

It was the sound of a wolf howling.

There were wolves outside.

"Ah!" Qiao Lin was stunned for a moment, then screamed in panic, her face pale and her body trembling constantly due to fear.

She had never experienced such a scene before. It was already very good that she could still stand now.

At this moment, she no longer had the arrogant and superior air she had before.

"Chu Yang, what should we do?" Not only was Qiao Lin scared, but Liu Qing and Xu Qing were also almost the same. Their faces were tense and pale, and their hearts were in their throats. They kept getting closer to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang stood still, his face extremely solemn at this moment. He held the axe he had made tightly in his hand. It was impossible not to be afraid.

Last time, Chu Yang had witnessed the attacking power of wolves.

Otherwise, if that black wolf hadn't been seriously injured and given him a chance, he wouldn't be standing here now. He would have already become the black wolf's food.

At the same time, Chu Yang was also a little curious now.

Why didn't his amazing sixth sense appear? Now that he was clearly facing wolves, why didn't he have a sense of crisis.

Chu Yang began to doubt again whether his amazing sixth sense had malfunctioned again.

"Ao!" The deep howl of the wolf sounded again.

However, the sound still seemed to be outside the valley, in the same position as before. It seemed that the wolf didn't intend to come in.

"Strange!" Chu Yang suddenly frowned, and a puzzled look appeared on his solemn face.

"Chu Yang, what's wrong?" Liu Qing heard Chu Yang and quickly asked.

Xu Qing also stared at Chu Yang.

After a moment of silence, Chu Yang slowly said, "I suddenly feel that this wolf howl sounds a bit familiar, and moreover, the voice seems a bit weak..."
