"Get off the boat in an orderly manner, be careful not to damage anything!"

After pushing open the door, Yu Xing was greeted by a damp air carrying a natural fragrance. It entered his senses along with the powerful voice from the loudspeaker.

Everything around him instantly became clear. The deck beneath his feet swayed slightly, and the waves made a swishing sound as they gently rolled.

One by one, busy people jumped off the boat and onto the lush island. Some had already entered the jungle, wearing helmets and carrying long guns.

Yu Xing felt his waist tightly bound and couldn't help but lower his head to examine himself.

His clothes were the same as most people present, camouflage-colored with thick and warm fabric. It should also have a waterproof effect when touched.

The neck, wrists, and ankles were tightly wrapped, a common measure to prevent insect bites in the jungle.

The belt was also tightened, accentuating Yu Xing's slim waist. He wasn't used to wearing it like this at first and felt a bit suffocated, coughing softly twice.

He carried a professional backpack on his back. It wasn't very heavy, and he could tell there were no large items like tents or sleeping bags inside.

A camera with a tripod was placed next to him. Considering his identity, this should be the equipment he had to carry wherever he went.

"Group one and group two, scout ahead! Group three, protect the researchers. The rest, follow behind. Group four, standby!"

"Be careful, researchers. Those handling equipment, be gentle. If anything gets damaged, you'll be responsible!"

The handsome middle-aged man holding the loudspeaker stood not far from Yu Xing. He had a strong and well-proportioned figure, clearly someone who exercised regularly. He hadn't gotten off the boat yet and was commanding the actions of the people from a higher vantage point.

Suddenly, the man turned his head towards Yu Xing and put down the loudspeaker, frowning. "Fang Xiaoyu, why are you still standing here? Your sister went through so much trouble to get you here. Don't cause any trouble for me!"

His tone was half stern and half helpless, revealing a hint of nervousness.

Yu Xing raised an eyebrow and instantly understood the man's relationship with himself in a glance.

"Don't be angry, brother-in-law. I'll go down now."

He replied in a half-joking tone, so even if the man and his "sister" weren't married yet, it wouldn't seem inappropriate.

Sure enough, the man's furrowed brow relaxed a bit after hearing this. However, he still pretended to be stern and scolded, "Don't think that just because I'm your brother-in-law, you can act cute here. Your task is to follow the armed team's second group for daytime exploration and filming. I specifically put you together with Old Liu, so learn some filming techniques from him when you have the chance."

"Alright, brother-in-law. I'll go down now." Yu Xing understood from the man's announcement that the first and second groups were entering the jungle. So, he picked up the camera by his side and energetically got off the boat.

Little did he know, beneath Fang Xiaoyu's excited appearance was a lazy soul complaining about how heavy the camera was...

As soon as his mountaineering shoes touched the ground, Yu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, even though he was getting weaker and weaker, his strength was still sufficient. Otherwise, this cumbersome camera would be playing a joke on him.

However... his stamina couldn't help but be depleted.

Difficult to handle, indeed.

The seawater soaked the coast of the island, and after taking a few steps, Yu Xing couldn't help but turn around and take a look.

The sky was gloomy, and the nearby sea surface was a hazy gray color. It extended far before finally turning blue.

A lifeless gray sea surface made people unable to resist thinking about what lies beneath.

It must be dark and lightless.

Unable to see anything, only hearing the gurgling sound of water surrounding him, his movements sluggish. Countless pairs of fish eyes stared at him from all directions, and enormous unknown creatures swam slowly past him, their fins brushing against his face.

He wanted to call for help, but when he opened his mouth, seawater filled it. Oxygen gradually disappeared, and he couldn't even make a sound.

Beneath his feet, a mouth full of sharp teeth silently waited, ready to devour him whole at any moment.

Unable to see, unable to hear, unable to make a sound, and unable to move.

This is the abyss...

"Fang Xiaoyu, don't look."

Suddenly, a pair of hands with calloused palms covered Yu Xing's eyes. The slightly prickly sensation made Yu Xing snap back to reality, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared belatedly.

There was something, he just took a glance and thought about it for a moment, but those images uncontrollably flooded his mind, spreading panic and helplessness throughout his body.

How should I put it, if you look at the sea too many times, you'll basically develop depression.

Yu Xing took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, releasing the pent-up frustration in his chest. Then, he smiled and removed the hands in front of him. "I won't look anymore, I won't look anymore."

When he turned around, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties covering his eyes. The man had dark skin and deep eye wrinkles, also carrying a camera.

"Don't laugh, this is a serious matter. Didn't Boss Fang tell you not to look at the sea surface?" The man's voice sounded even more weathered than his appearance. He sighed, "The sea can devour one's soul. If you look at it for too long, you might lose yourself."

"Oh..." Yu Xing wondered who this person was. Was he the Old Liu that his brother-in-law mentioned, coming to find him because he hadn't caught up with the team?However, there was no need for him to guess. A logistics staff member walked by, seemingly acquainted with the uncle. The staff member laughed, "Old Liu, you always talk like this. Maybe you really are suited for filming on this Undead Island. You've got the right vibe!"

Old Liu glared at him and pulled Yu Xing away.

They were following the people in front, heading into the jungle, but not directly. Instead, they were cutting sideways, heading towards the back of the huge rock on the coast.

Yu Xing guessed that the team planned to cross this small patch of jungle to reach the coast on the other side of the rock.

He sorted out the information he had at the moment and asked, "Hey, Uncle Liu, are we starting to film now?"

Old Liu glanced at him, seeing his newbie-like questioning face, he helplessly said, "Not now, at least wait until we officially start exploring the island after setting up camp. Are you here because Wu Runhao found you annoying and sent you away? I have to say, as a young man, why are you so eager to join the excitement on the island? If I were Wu Runhao, I would also want to beat you. You dare to come here without any common sense, only because Boss Fang spoils you."

Yu Xing figured out that Wu Runhao must be his brother-in-law's name. Daring to call the leader by his name, Old Liu must be a senior cameraman with a high status.

After being scolded by Old Liu, he timely showed a bit of unhappiness.

Both his brother-in-law and Old Liu mentioned Fang Xiaoyu's willfulness. If he was too obedient, people familiar with Fang Xiaoyu would notice.

"I'm here anyway, so let's just film. My brother-in-law asked you to take care of me, don't you want to?" Yu Xing's tone became heavier, and Old Liu sighed and shook his head as if he had expected this.

"Of course I don't want to. Who would want to take care of a spoiled child like you who does whatever he wants?"

Yu Xing stopped in his tracks, "…"

Old Liu quickly remedied, "But who asked you to be Boss Fang's younger brother? And Wu Runhao specifically instructed me to take good care of you, I can't ignore you."
