Everyone's greatest hope, of course, is for things to be this way, as it would at least provide a sense of security for their lives.
"No, if there's even a possibility he could get hurt, we absolutely have to find her. We don't know what's happened yet, and we can't jump to conclusions. If she was ambushed by someone, that would be disastrous. Let's find her quickly."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan also voiced his agreement.
After all, he didn't want to lose any of his team members, so he immediately supported Yao's suggestion.
"Alright, let's keep searching. Let's wake up Gun Gun too and have him join us."
With that, Zhou Niannian promptly woke Gun Gun and together they searched the surroundings for any trace of Dai Xiao Mei. Meanwhile, Jiang Fan and Yao headed off in separate directions.
They planned to split up and search with maximum efficiency to find Dai Xiao Mei.
"Damn it, she's nowhere to be found. Where on earth could Dai Xiao Mei have gone? What could have happened to her? Is she safe or in danger? Why hasn't she left us any clue?"
The situation didn't seem to indicate anything good.
"If she had intended to run away, she would have at least left a note. She wouldn't just leave so irresponsibly."
"This kind of irresponsible action is not something she would do. Therefore, the most likely scenario is that she's encountered some danger."
"If that's the case, then it's even worse. If Dai Xiao Mei is captured alone in this place, it would be terrible."
Dai Xiao Mei had no combat ability, Jiang Fan muttered to himself as he walked, worried that she might have run into danger. But at this point, there were no other options; they could only search the beach with all their might.
Everyone searched thoroughly. During their search, they occasionally ran into each other, but they couldn't find any sign of Dai Xiao Mei.
"So, did anyone find anything?"
As Jiang Fan spoke, the surrounding team members nodded dejectedly, their faces filled with despair.
Jiang Fan gritted his teeth and then, with a very serious expression, addressed the group.
"Let's eat first. After eating, we'll continue searching for Dai Xiao Mei immediately. We've already been searching for a long time, and if we don't replenish our energy, any danger we encounter could be very perilous for all of us."
Hearing Jiang Fan's words, they could only sit down dejectedly and eat the remaining seafood.
They recalled how thoroughly they had enjoyed the seafood the previous two days, but now, with Dai Xiao Mei missing, they had no appetite.
After a simple meal, they extinguished the fire and remained in a state of worry. Jiang Fan suddenly stood up and said to the group.
"In that case, there's nothing more to say. Let's split up and search."
"I don't think we'll find Dai Xiao Mei on this island. I suspect she might be on another island. Although I don't know why she left, if she wasn't going to another island, she wouldn't need a boat."
The surrounding members strongly agreed with this statement. After all, their boat had been taken away. If they wanted to find Dai Xiao Mei, going to another island was the most likely possibility.
"Let's quickly build two boats and split into two groups to search for any trace of Dai Xiao Mei."
"Remember, make sure the boats are ready quickly. We need to set sail immediately and find Dai Xiao Mei."
Although Zhou Niannian suffered from seasickness, she had no other choice now. Compared to the discomfort of seasickness, she was even less willing to lose her good partner, Dai Xiao Mei.
As a timid girl like herself, the two of them always had each other's backs in times of danger.
Now, while everyone else was still present, Dai Xiao Mei was missing, which was a reality she found difficult to accept.
"No, we have to finish this task quickly. At this pace, we might not even finish this boat by tomorrow."
Initially, everyone had been slowly constructing the boat.
This was partly because everyone was in a bad mood, and with Dai Xiao Mei gone, their coordination had faltered. Nevertheless, they continued to build the frame.
After an unknown amount of time, the boat's frame was finally completed.
Jiang Fan secured the boat with rattan and other materials, and it was ready to set sail.
"Let's go. Both boats are ready. We need to depart immediately; there's no time to delay."
As Jiang Fan finished speaking, Zhou Niannian quickly nodded. Zhou Niannian then boarded Jiang Fan's boat, while Yao sat with Gun Gun on the other.
The four of them made two boats, with two people per group, heading to different islands to search for Dai Xiao Mei's whereabouts.
Jiang Fan and Zhou Niannian formed one group, and Yao and Gun Gun formed the other.
Both groups set off at the same time, heading in different directions across the sea.
"Isn't this too dangerous? Why don't we just stay in one group?"
"What's so dangerous about it? Didn't you see how powerful Jiang Fan, Yao, and Gun Gun are? If they encounter danger, they'll be able to overcome it."
"Besides, Dai Xiao Mei is already missing. If we don't find her quickly, what if she's actually killed?"
"Exactly! I'm so worried. We don't know where Dai Xiao Mei has gone now. We need to find her quickly."
"Jiang Fan, this crucial mission is entrusted to you. If you can't find Dai Xiao Mei, I'm quitting."
The viewers, upon learning of Dai Xiao Mei's disappearance, were also quite helpless. Although they wished they could help rescue Dai Xiao Mei, they could only anxiously watch through the screens.
"If Dai Xiao Mei can be rescued, do you think Jiang Fan and the others wouldn't be trying their best? If they weren't trying their best, they wouldn't be this tense. You're stating the obvious."
"What we need to do now is pray. Pray that Jiang Fan and the others can find Dai Xiao Mei, rescue her, and return unharmed. That's what's right."
The entire livestream chat was abuzz with discussions.
