Chapter 109: Enemies in the Hallway
Max stepped out of the restaurant and started walking down the street. As he walked, his mind lingered on Juliet. She never talked to anyone, yet today, she had approached him and bought him a meal! It was strange—almost mysterious.Still, spending time with Juliet had lifted his spirits. After all, being around a beautiful girl was always a pleasant experience.He attended two more classes before school was finally dismissed.As he passed through the school gate and stepped onto the street, Max walked quietly with his head down.“How much did Juliet take from your pocket today?” a mocking voice called out.Max lifted his head and looked to the side of the street—there they were. Archie and Lori. Both of them were grinning mischievously.Max had no intention of getting into trouble with them. Without saying a word, he kept walking.But they didn’t let him go so easily. Stepping in front of him, they blocked his path.“She emptied your pockets, didn’t she?” Archie sneered before breaki
Chapter 108: The Substitute's Strange Lesson
The story of " On a Lonely Island""Through sleep, a person's brain can be controlled, allowing them to be manipulated in any way." Mr. David said. He was their new psychology teacher. Well, "new" in the sense that he had been brought in for just two weeks. Their regular teacher, Mr. Neely, had gone to New York for advanced training, which would take two weeks to complete. During that time, Mr. David would be filling in for him."A victim can be psychologically tortured in their sleep," Mr. David continued in his deep, resonant voice. "To them, it would feel completely real."The entire class stared at him, mouths slightly open as they listened to his lecture. Whether they were actually paying attention was unclear. Maybe they were just pretending—like they usually did in Mr. Thomas’s class. But from the way Archie was listening, he seemed completely engrossed. Then again, a troublemaker like him would obviously enjoy this kind of eerie topic.On the other hand, Max wasn’t enjoying th
Chapter 107: Sunset of a Struggle
“Can anyone eat the same food all the time?” Luke said, wrinkling his nose.“Do you think burgers, sandwiches, and pizzas grow on trees in this jungle, and you can just grab them whenever you want?” Jack replied sarcastically.“Did I say that?”“Then what?”“I mean, eating venison all the time isn’t exactly enjoyable. It would be nice to have something different.”“Oh! That’s what you meant.”“Yes, that’s what I meant.”“Then why are you just sitting there?” Jack pointed at a rotten tree with his hand. “Look inside that tree; you might find some caterpillars. Go ahead, dig them out and eat up.”Lily was chewing on a piece of meat. The moment Jack mentioned caterpillars, she gagged and spat it out. “Do you have to say things like that while we’re eating?” she snapped.“Alright, alright.” Jack raised his hands in surrender. “I was just joking.”“Keep your jokes to yourself,” Lily huffed, still irritated. “I caught a fish from the river,” she added, changing the subject. “I forgot about
Chapter 106: The Missing Companion
"Luke, aren't your pants made of denim?" Jack suddenly asked."Ugh!" Luke swatted a mosquito away. Then he said, "Yeah, it's denim. Why, what's up?""Can your phone's battery be removed?""Yeah, it can.""That'll do.""What'll do?""Charging," Jack said mysteriously."Charging what?" Luke asked, confused."Ugh, just do something quickly!" Lily said impatiently, smacking her own cheek — actually swatting a mosquito. "These bloodsuckers are going to drain us dry."Ignoring Lily, Jack told Luke to take out his phone's battery. Luke fumbled in the dark and managed to remove it. "Now what?" he asked."Rub the battery's charging slot against your jeans," Jack instructed.Finally, Luke understood. As an engineering student, he felt embarrassed that such a simple idea hadn't crossed his mind. Without another word, he firmly rubbed the battery's charging slot against his pants. Though they couldn’t see in the dark, the rough scratching sound made it clear he was doing it.Jack said, "Once you'
Chapter 105: A Faint Hope in the Jungle
They had been walking for quite a while. Everyone was exhausted. Suddenly, Orin dropped onto a pine log, declaring that he couldn’t go any further. The others were just as worn out, so they all decided to rest right there. They had lunch with the water and the deer meat they had with them. After a short break, they set off again."How much longer do we have to keep walking?" Lily asked impatiently."Until we find the Yaku River," Jack replied indifferently."In other words, until we get rescued," Luke added."Yeah, exactly," Jack agreed."Do you think we’ll actually get rescued?" Orin asked, his voice filled with doubt."Hmm." Jack sighed. "Only time will tell.""And when exactly will that time come?" Lily asked impatiently.Suddenly, Jack stopped in his tracks, making everyone else pause in surprise. Lily was about to ask what was wrong, but Jack raised his hand, signaling her to be quiet. She fell silent immediately.Jack stood still, straining his ears to catch something. "Do you g
Chapter 104: Flickers in the Firelight
Lily stared at the fire. It burned brightly, its orange glow lighting up everything around it. Nocturnal animals filled the jungle with their calls, the constant noise almost deafening to Lily. She had been awake for quite a while now. Around midnight, she was supposed to wake Jack. She pulled her phone out of her pocket to check the time, but it was dead. No charge. Finally, she glanced at her wristwatch. In the dim light, she saw that it was already twelve. Just as she was about to wake Jack, she noticed him sitting on the hammock. That meant he had woken up on his own."When did you wake up?" Lily asked."Just a little while ago," Jack replied."Well, good thing you did. I was about to wake you.""Alright then, you get some sleep. I’ll keep watch."Lily wished him goodnight and lay down. Jack sat quietly on the hammock. After a while, he noticed the firewood was running low. The flames were almost out. He climbed down, added a few branches onto the glowing embers, and went back to
