On the sixth day, several speedboats arrived at the island's coast.
On the seventh day, helicopters belonging to different factions landed on the island.
On the eighth day, besides the ships and planes representing hostile forces to Chu Ge, a small yacht from the neutral "Tongsheng Association" also docked at the shore.
On the ninth day, the scene at the island's shore was spectacular; from afar, the various ships seemed almost to merge into one.
Nighttime descended.
Chu Ge stayed within the forest, sitting on the broken branch of a large tree, taking a big bite of the wild fruit in his hand, chewing before licking his lips, no longer cracked after days of recovery.
Through the mottled gaps between the leaves, he looked from afar at the gently swaying ships anchored at the shore, tinged a frosty white by the moonlight, which also illuminated his dark eyes.
When the sun rises and sets, then rises again, it will be the start of this life-and-death battle.
