Long Zhan paused for a moment and added, "However, since we have already lost our supplies, we should lay low for now and avoid direct confrontation with the military."
At his words, Long Qian clenched his fists and slammed them against the couch's armrest in frustration. "Damn it! If I ever find out who stole our supplies, I won't let them off!"
Hearing this, Long Zhan cast a glance at his younger brother but said nothing in response. Their family had already lost its influence over the military. It was time for him to reach out to that person.
While Long Zhan was planning for the Long family's future, Yao Ran and the others were already far away.
Seven hours later, a pilot from another aircraft contacted Shi Xuan. "This is Alpha Seven. Requesting permission for refueling."
Shi Xuan pressed the communication device and responded, "This is Alpha One. A small island has been detected fifty kilometers to the north. We will land there."
A few seconds later, the other pilots acknowledged the command. "Roger that."
Before long, Long Yu announced, "The island is in sight. Preparing for landing."
Following his words, the other pilots responded, and the military transport aircraft slowly descended.
Ten minutes later, Yao Ran stepped out of the military transport aircraft. After finding a flat area, she took out several drums of fuel from her space. When the soldiers saw this, they began to transport the oil drums and refuel the aircraft.
Meanwhile, Yao Ran, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi were preparing dinner for everyone. Seeing this, Aunt Han and Aunt Sima also came over to help distribute the meals.
When the refueling was complete, everyone lined up to get their dinner. Seeing that Yao Ran had finished distributing the dinner, Long Yu walked up to her.
Seeing him approach, Yao Ran smiled and handed him his meal. "Come and eat first."
Long Yu took the meal box from her, sat beside her, and opened it. Seeing his favorite braised meat, he smiled and began eating.
"I saw you talking with Elder Brother Ruihan just now," Yao Ran said while taking a bite of her food.
Long Yu nodded, swallowed a mouthful of steamed rice, and replied, "Mhm. Since it's already nighttime, Brother Xu suggested that we camp here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow."
Listening to what he said, Yao Ran pondered for a moment. She then gazed at the roaring waves crashing against the small island's coastline.
Noticing her worried expression, Long Yu reassured her, "Don't worry. We have already checked the surroundings. There haven't been any earthquakes reported around this area, so it should be safe for us to stay the night."
Hearing this, Yao Ran nodded, although her eyes remained fixed on the strong waves hitting the shore.
After finishing their late dinner, everyone prepared to sleep. Since they wouldn't be staying long, they simply found flat areas to rest.
Yao Ran located a suitable spot and took out two folding beds from her space. As she set them up, Long Yu started a small bonfire nearby to keep them warm.
