I Built An Empire And You’re Telling Me That I Wasn’t Transmigrated? - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: An amazing discovery

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The sun was setting and the sky looked like it was filled with blood.

On the surface of the turbulent sea, the setting sun reflected was shattered by the tide, turning into countless fine golden scales.

Tang Yu Qi sat on the beach with her knees bent, the sea breeze blowing her long hair.

She was holding a ballpoint pen in her right hand and a notebook on her long and slim legs. She was recording what happened today.

June 10th, the weather was clear, with a light rain at noon.

Today is the fourth day after the cruise ship’s accident and the third day we’ve been on the mysterious island.

We still haven’t seen any traces of the rescue team. We’re not even sure if they can find us. This place was too strange.

Dinosaurs that had disappeared for tens of millions of years, primitive jungles that were so lush that it was almost impossible for them to exist, and too many plants that did not look like plants on earth. On this island full of life, we didn’t find any familiar animals or plants. There were only animals and plants that shouldn’t have existed.

Some people suspect that we’ve traveled to ancient times.

On earth tens of millions of years ago.

This was impossible.

Transmigration was only a setting in science fiction. How could a person transmigrate through time?

If a person could travel through time, what would the future be?

Although almost no one believed in transmigration, after four days of being in trouble and three days of being on the deserted island, there was still no hope of rescue, so people’s emotions still changed.

Anxiety, fear, worry, and all kinds of negative emotions spread among the people who had been killed.

Even grandpa had stopped smiling for the past two days, and looked worried.

Perhaps Grandpa had discovered something?

Last night, Grandpa suddenly asked me a strange question.

He asked if grandma was still alive, would the situation be better.

Her grandmother had passed away eight years ago.

Grandpa and Grandma were very loving, and the story of how they met was similar to novels. Her grandpa had saved her grandma from gang members and it was then that they started falling in love. Grandma is a very good person. I’ve never seen her get angry. She’s always so gentle and kind.

Grandma loves me very much, and I love Grandma very much.

When I was a teenager, only grandma was by my side. I still miss the Chinese food that grandma made. The french fries she made were the best in the world.

However, the dead could not be brought back to life. Grandma was already dead, so how could she still be alive?

I’m worried about grandpa’s mental condition.

At this point, Tang Yu Qi stopped writing. Her beautiful, sapphire-like eyes stared blankly at the turbulent sea.

After a moment, she continued to write.

I really envy Aphra. She was always so happy and cheerful.

I had never seen fear or worry on her face, it was always a smile. She had made a few new friends at the party last time.

Although I didn’t know how they were getting along, I could tell from Aphra’s happy expression that they were getting along.

Well, I didn’t know that Aphra was so good at survival skills in the wild. She had helped many people build temporary shelters, solved the accommodation problems of many travelers in distress. She even solved the problem of drinking water.

Although we don’t lack drinking water for the time being, it’s a very bad sign that the rescue team hasn’t appeared yet.

We’ve already begun to save food and water, and also think of ways to obtain food nearby to fill our stomachs, in case the worst happens.

Fortunately, the island was full of life, so it was not difficult to find food.

All kinds of shells, fish, and shrimp could be seen by the sea.

Speaking of food, it made me think of something very interesting. Grandma Pan Mei Li actually brought a large number of vegetable, melon, and fruit seeds. There were seeds of cucumbers, eggplants, beans, and dozens of other vegetables and fruits. It was really amazing. I’ve heard from Grandpa that Chinese people have a unique preference for farming. They can always think of planting methods that others can’t.

But planting vegetables takes a long time.

Do we really need to use the seeds of those fruits and vegetables?

I hope we don’t need to.

“Tang”

“Tang!”

Tang Yu Qi was journalling what she had seen and felt today when Aphra’s excited cheers came from behind her.

She turned her head and saw Aphra waving her white arms in the distance. The majestic mountains were surging with waves as she jumped, making it a spectacular sight.

People couldn’t help but marvel at the preference of the creator.

“Come here quickly. We’ve made a huge discovery.”

Aphra shouted excitedly when she saw Tang Yu Qi turn around.

Tang Yu Qi was puzzled and curious.

A big discovery?

She closed the diary and walked toward Aphra, who was not far away.

Without waiting for Tang Yu Qi to ask, Aphra held Tang Yu Qi’s hand excitedly and walked towards the dense forest not far away. She said excitedly, “God, you won’t know what we found. This is amazing.”

Tang Yu Qi was even more confused when she heard this. However, being dragged along by Aphra to run was a huge burden for her as she was not good at sports

She was out of breath and could not even speak properly.

However, the excited Aphra did not notice Tang Yu Qi’s state. She pulled her and ran to the beach in the distance.

Along the way, they could see simple tents at the edge of the forest, arranged in a row.

The waterproof cloth for the tent was from the yacht.

Some tents without waterproof cloth were directly made of wood, leaves, and vines from the nearby forest. Although the effect was not as good as the waterproof cloth, it was better than directly enduring the attack of a storm.

Some people were sitting in front of their tents, looking at the vast sea with numb and blank expressions.

Ever since they came to this beach, the 200 tourists were divided into dozens of groups of various sizes. There were a large number of lone wolves, and there were also small groups that had begun to move in groups.

Some people were numbly waiting for help, while others were already thinking of a way out.

How to get better food, how to get a better safe house, and how to live a better life in this strange land.

The reason why humans could become the overlords of the earth was because there would always be people who would stand up when they encountered difficulties, and there would always be people who would find a solution.

After walking on the beach for a few hundred meters, a winding stream appeared in front of them.

A clear stream ran through the dense and deep forest, murmuring along the exposed reefs on the coast. It was unknown where it came from, but it slowly flowed into the turbulent sea.

After arriving at the stream, Aphra led Tang Yu Qi straight into it.

As the ground was mostly made of rocks, even the most vibrant trees and vines could not penetrate them. This became one of the few places where sunlight could be seen through the dense forest.

However, the dark and quiet forest on both sides of the stream was like a giant beast that had opened its mouth and was about to devour all life.

Tang Yu Qi could not help but feel her scalp go numb just by looking at it.

She could faintly feel that something was staring at her in the darkness. That pair of eyes was filled with greed and desire, as if it was looking at prey and delicious food.

After walking along the stream for more than 50 meters, there was a faint noise. A familiar voice broke the fear brought by the dark forest, letting Tang Yu Qi breathe a sigh of relief.

“God, this is really good news.”

“We’re not the first batch of people to come here.”

“Thank you, God, for giving us hope.”

“I hope the rescue team can come soon.”

It was noisy, but one could vaguely feel the excitement of the people.

Tang Yu Qi listened to the people’s discussion and temporarily put aside her fear of the dense forest. She couldn’t help but be curious about what they had found to make them so excited.

With doubt and curiosity, she walked forward for twenty meters and her view suddenly widened.

A cold pond stood quietly at the bottom of the cliff, exuding a cold air.

The murmuring stream came from the cold pond.

Next to the cold pool was an extremely huge tree. The trunk was so thick that it would take four or five people to hold it. The bark was relatively smooth, and moss had even grown in some places.

The treetop opened up, like a big umbrella that covered the sky.

Dozens of people stood under the tree, looking up at the dense canopy.

On the thick branch that could be used as a slide ladder, there was a broken World War II fighter jet with the vaguely visible symbol of the United States. The plane was badly damaged, and its surface was full of scratches and impact marks. Some tree branches even pierced through the cabin. It was obvious that the plane had crashed here for a long time.

Tang Yu Qi was dazed for a moment, her bright eyes suddenly opened wide, her jade-like hand covering her cherry-like mouth, extremely surprised.

She finally understood what the people were talking about and why they were so excited.

They weren’t the first people to come here.

There were other forerunners before them!

They were still on earth!

It was still their era!
