The black shadow flashed by, and Huo Yu felt the hair on his body stand up instantly.

There was a feeling in his heart that this black shadow seemed dangerous and could even pose a threat to him.

With Huo Yu's current strength, even a vicious polar bear would not give him such a feeling of extreme danger.

What's more, this is an uninhabited island. Where did this black shadow come from?

Huo Yu suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and took quick steps to chase after him.

The black shadow was still moving between the stones. The visibility was extremely low under the dark clouds. Huo Yu could only see an outline and had no idea whether the other party was a human or an animal.

With Huo Yu's eyesight, he couldn't see each other clearly, and the viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't see him even more clearly.

They could only see Huo Yu running fast, jumping back and forth on the rocks like a parkour expert, but they could not see the existence of the black shadow at all.

While the audience was confused, Huo Yu, who was chasing after him, became increasingly surprised.

The opponent's speed is getting faster and faster. No matter whether it is thunder or rain, or the slippery gravel with sharp edges under his feet, it seems that nothing can slow down his pace.

From the silhouette, the opponent looked like a human or humanoid creature walking upright, but he had the agility of a beast.

What the hell is this?

After a moment, Huo Yu suddenly stopped, holding a bow and arrow and squinting his eyes as he watched the black shadow disappear into the darkness.

His intuition told him that he could not pursue it any longer. His friends were still on the [Red Jiao] which could sink at any time. God knew what would happen if he continued to pursue it.

Intuition is difficult to explain scientifically. The more people are engaged in high-risk industries, the more sensitive their intuition is.

For example, police, soldiers, firefighters, including icekeepers, they spend every day in hidden dangers, and their bodies and instincts have intuitions that are immeasurable to ordinary people.

This hunch has no scientific basis, but it is extremely accurate.

When you get that bad gut feeling, it's best to trust it.

Huo Yu knew very well that the reason why he could live smoothly in the Arctic was not only due to the system.

More importantly, he never gave up.

Huo Yu stopped and turned around to look at the seaside. Unknowingly, he had already chased him several hundred meters away.

He shook his head helplessly and explained to the puzzled audience: "It's okay, I should be blinded."

After that, he turned back to the beach and looked at the crumbling [Red Dragon] in the sea.

The top priority is to get the friends to the island first, escape the storm, and repair the boat.

Huo Yu squatted on the stone, took out a portable communicator from his battle suit, and tried to use it to contact his friends on the ship.

When the communicator was turned on, a harsh electric sound sounded instantly, followed by a long silence.

The icekeepers' communicators are all specially made, and China Unicom's signal is also a satellite signal dedicated to the icekeepers. It can adapt well to the polar environment, but it has lost its function at this moment.

Either the storm had affected the signal of the communication equipment, but Huo Yu felt that this possibility was slim.

The most likely possibility is that there is something like a signal jammer on this island.

However, my own live broadcast is not affected because the system has strengthened the live broadcast signal. From the beginning of Huoyu's broadcast until now, there has not been any lag.

Ever since I landed on the island, this volcanic island has been filled with strange things, and there must be monsters if anything goes wrong.

The communication was fruitless, but Huo Yu didn't panic. He had communicated with Bai Xiaomo and Plan B before he came.

Plan B is simple. When high technology fails, old technology works wonders.

Huo Yu took off a revolver-style pistol with a red barrel and a pure black handle from his waist.

Flare guns, as military auxiliary equipment, can do more than just summon airdrops.

Flare bullets of different colors can express a variety of meanings, and can be fired in a variety of color combinations. In theory, the flare gun has a complete system for disseminating and exchanging information.

Huo Yu took out a small box filled with different colored flares from the other side, then put a bright yellow flare into the flare gun and fired decisively into the sky.

Whoosh——

The yellow signal flares rose high, dazzling even under the dim sky.

Yellow means the situation is unknown, so be vigilant.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Yu installed another flare and fired it after an interval of three seconds.

Whoosh——

This time, the flare fired was blue.

Blue means using the zipline launcher to launch the zipline to the island.

This was something Huo Yu had discussed with Bai Xiaomo before.

The two colored flares were fired in tandem, clearly conveying what Huo Yu wanted to convey to his partners.

The situation on the island is complicated. You can use the zipline to get to the island, but you must be vigilant.

Zipline is a sport that tests physical strength and comprehensive ability. It was first used for mountain self-rescue and military assault operations. Later it gradually evolved into a recreational project.

Using the zipline to move or escape is a skill that every icekeeper must master.

Under normal circumstances, the danger factor of ziplining is not high, and almost anyone with a little training can master it.

But now [Red Jiao Hao] is in a state of ups and downs, and the difficulty level has skyrocketed.

Bai Xiaomo received the signal from Huo Yu and immediately turned to Wei Di and said, "Prepare the zipline launcher and take the kids with you. The stationmaster asked us to use the zipline to land on the island."

"Ugh." Wu Yi on the side vomited in pain, "No, you have to zipline, isn't this going to kill me?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Bai Xiaomo stood up, "Put that criminal into a sleeping bag and take them to the island together."

The zipline launcher on the [Red Dragon] is located on a high platform.

Only in this way can the zipline landing be achieved through the height difference.

Bai Xiaomo climbed up the stairs of the cockpit to the high platform and came to the zipline launcher.

Due to the tilt of the hull, she took every step with great care.

After Huoyu fired two signal flares, he fired an illumination flare into the sky.

Using the light brought by the flare, Bai Xiaomo aimed at a gentle spot on the shoal and activated the launcher.

Whoosh——

An iron claw with a long rope shot out, passed through the stormy sea, and was nailed to the stone seam of the shoal.

Huo Yu hurriedly ran over, and after making sure that the hook was firmly fixed, he fired a green flare into the sky.

When Bai Xiaomo saw the signal flare, he turned back to look at his companions who had just climbed up, and asked, "Who will go over first?"

Hearing these words, Wu Yi and Ling Ran subconsciously took a step back even though they were in a state of seasickness.

Xiaoyu and Xiaotuan also took a step back decisively, leaving only Wei Di and the little she-wolf, who looked confused, still standing in front.

Wei Di said helplessly: "I'll go first."
