Island Adventure (Part 3)

Along the way, Chen An endured Ivanov’s noisy and crazy speech . Finally, about one kilometer from the coast, they came to the garrison left by the Soviet Union .

As Ivanov said, the whole place smelled of decay . The island was estimated to have had no visitors for decades . It was overgrown with weeds and deserted . The ground was also littered with some scrap metal left behind when the Soviet troops withdrew .

“Find oil first . ”

“I’ll go there, then you go there . ” Ivanov pointed to two different directions . Shout if any of us have discovery, and don’t go far .

‘Aren’t we supposed to act together?’ Chen An paused slightly, but still said, “Okay . ”

If he asked to be together, Ivanov would certainly make fun of him again .

Chen An walked to the right hand side by himself . Not far away were several huge rusty iron cans, which might still contain diesel oil .

The cool evening wind was blowing and weeds were swaying around his feet . It was too quiet to hear but his own breathing and footsteps .

Chen An looked back in Ivanov’s direction . The hairy bear was running around happily in the distance . The gloomy atmosphere and the history of the island did not seem to affect him at all .

It seemed the bear looked thick not only in skin but also in nerves .

As the distance between them grew, Chen An turned back for the fourth time, but could no longer see him, “Ivan?”

He shouted softly . Since the distance was so far, the other party certainly could not hear unless Chen An shouted out loud, but that would be a bit embarrassing .

He had been dead once . What was he afraid of?

So he turned his head and continued striding toward the direction of the iron can . The eerie silence gave Chen An the illusion that he was the only person on the island .

Chen An’s palms began to sweat unconsciously . He took a deep breath and tried to relax himself, thinking in his heart that he was not alone, not alone on this damn island . Ivanov, the noisy bear, was not far away .

He clearly just hated Ivanov’s voice, but now Chen An found himself missing that idiot’s voice all the more .

He hated this feeling, as if he was the only one left in the world, surrounded by loneliness, not knowing what to do and where the future lied .

Death was not terrible . What was terrible was loneliness and despair .

“Take a look and go back . ” Chen An took another few deep breaths . After adjusting his state of mind, he simply ran straight past as hard as he could, as if some beasts were chasing behind him .

Finally ran to the tin, Chen An tried to unscrew the valve, only to find that his hand was shaking violently .

“Damn it!” He gritted his teeth and unscrewed the valve with force . Soon there was oil flowing out, but before Chen An felt happy, he found something was wrong .

He stretched out his hand and touched the oil to have a sniff, and found it mixed with water .
