Enduring indescribable pain, his head swelled, Baili Changtian began to think hard.
"Baili Changtian," said Simon, the director of the investing banking department which Baili Changtian worked in, smiling, "there's a potential project for you. ”
"Ah! This place is so remote! Are there any direct flights there? "Baili Changtian checked the project briefing and the first reaction was the project company location was too remote!
"Director, can you let me go with Baili Changtian?" Baili Changtian’s team player Qian Qian, a young and charming lady, suddenly suggested,"I am eager to learn how to communicate with potential clients and this is a fantastic opportunity for me! ”
"Ah ha, what a jealous concern! " Another team player Dongfang blinked toward Qian Qian," Take it easy! Your dear Changtian will be ok. After all, he is already a 30-year-old man! ”
“You are so annoying!” Qian Qian was angry,”This in no your business!”
“You all shut up!” Simon raised his voice, "It's work! Work, you know? Is it a nursery school? Baili Changtian, don't forget the performance appraisal index, this is your only chance to make a breakthrough! If you make a sound research and communication, perhaps, this company's IPO project is ours! Do you understand?!”
"Well," sighed Baili Changtian, "I'll go."
Since it was a business trip, why could he come to this strange island?
The memory was still not very clear. What happened?
Baili Changtian ordered himself to get up and should not lie on the sand anymore in order to aviod any other dangers.
Baili Changtian staggered up, and the shaking feel made him think of the scene on the aircraft.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our plane has encountered turbulence, please do not stand up and fasten your seatbelt!"
With the flight attendant's voice, the plane began to shake violently.
This shaking was not like the normal one.
Baili Changtian was so familiar with the aircraft turbulence.Almost during each flight, there was a turbulence.
But this time, it was weird.
When the plane shaked for a while, it suddenly became very smooth.
People continued to enjoy food and drink, before the tense atmosphere completely eased.
Just then, the plane suddenly turned sideways, and the whole cabin reversed.
There were screams in the cabin, and then the voice grew weaker and Baili Changtian lost consciousness.
"Ah! "Baili Changtian was frightened unceasingly,and found out that he actually experienced the plane crash!"
So, what about the plane? What about the others?
Although being a survivor, Baili Changtian did not feel very happy.
Because, he had to face a completely unfamiliar island! And it seemed that he was the only person!
The afterglow of the sunset gradually dispersed, the color of the sea began to dim, and the remaining temperature of the beach gradually disappeared.
Baili Changtian looked at the sea, slackjawed.
In a second, the sea level suddenly arched a wall! Baili Changtian was anxious to find out the truth and suprisingly to see the sea monster again!
“Run! Run!”Baili Changtian run away immediately as he thought of the devil monster in the sea
The sun had completely disappeared below sea level.
The sky was getting dark.
After running for a while, Baili Changtian gasped and held a stone.
The stone was different from the usual stones. The three sides of the crack style was very different, one side very smooth, and the second side very rough, striped mottled unclear, and the third side, very strange, for, from a certain point of view, there were words on it!
Baili Changtian stayed back a few steps, again near the stone, tried many times, finally from a specific angle, saw the use of seal carved four words: Dreamland Deer Forest!
“Dreamland Deer Forest?”, Baili Changtian repeated again and again. As a Ph.D. in geography science, Baili Changtian himself had never heard about such a island.
"Gotta get out of Here!" Facing the unfamiliar and strange environment, the first thought for Baili Changtian was to flee away quickly.
This was exactly the instinct of human being.
As a common sense in the investment industry, when facing a danger,the first action to take was trying to avoiding being involved.As a word said, "Gentleman should not stand under the crashing wall."
Because of risk aversion, thus encountering the "Black Swan Incident", the market sentiment tended to overreact, many "white horse shares" would encounter the wrong kill.
But where to flee?
Sea?
Apparently not, there were ferocious sea monsters in the sea!
The island?
This island, which Baili Changtian never heard of before, was so mysterious and hid potential unknown dangers ahead.
Or, as an alternative, staying and waiting?
However, if he did not move, it was tantamount to treating himself as prey, waiting to be the food of a more powerful animal!
Baili Changtian came to a dilemma. The desire to escape was so strong that he directly ran into the depths of the island without any further thinking.
There was no path ahead!
There were unknown weeds and wild flowers all over the place.
Baili Changtian, by instinct, went deep into the island.
Going for more than one hour, Baili Changtian guessed, without a watch, and maybe he had reached the center of the island.
Baili Changtian felt very tired and sat down to have a break.
Just sitting down on a rock, Baili Changtian found something unusual!
This stone, was exactly the same one he had seen before!
From a specific point of view, there were words on it:Dreamland Deer Forest!
This meant, in the island, struggling to move forward, but incredibly turning a big circle, and back to the original place!
Baili Changtian was totally frustrated and had no idea where to go!
Not far away, a pair of astute eyes were watching him silently, and Baili Changtian bowed down and sighed, completely unaware of being monitored!
