Chapter 252

And precisely because of this, over these few days, a basic tacit understanding had formed between them.

Many times, they could communicate with just a glance.

Even without eye contact, they could communicate.

Zhang Xiaonian was originally not a child who disliked speaking, but the hardships of life had made her, at such a young age, far more mature than her peers.

And she could also feel that this big brother beside her disliked speaking very much.

So, she never spoke out of turn.

But the little girl was very smart; she could read the words Ning Chen wanted to say but didn't, and she could understand his meaning.

In short.

Being with him, Zhang Xiaonian finally felt a long-lost sense of relaxation and joy.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

Ahead, the Haidao that was originally visible to the naked eye finally became clear.

Closer, closer.

Ning Chen turned the helm.

He observed this small island, looking for a place to anchor.

But last year's hurricane had destroyed everything.

The original dock locations were all in ruins; there was not a single suitable spot at the berths.

Ning Chen could only drive the speedboat and begin circling the island.

But he did not find a place to anchor.

After spending more than half an hour, they circled to the back of the Haidao.

There, they saw a huge rock jutting out into the sea.

Ning Chen's speedboat avoided that spot; just as he was about to turn the helm back, he saw—

Behind that rock, which was dozens of meters high, the seawater was all flowing inward.

After circling completely around.

Only then did they see.

There, it was actually a huge hole in the massive rock.

The entire large hole was very peculiar; it was over ten meters high, and its width from left to right also reached six or seven meters.

Waitomo Caves?

This thought flashed through his mind.

But it was quickly dismissed by Ning Chen.

The entrance to the Waitomo Caves is on the island itself, not at the island's edge.

But without a docking port, there is no way to enter the island.

And right now, in this large hole, the seawater is surging inward.

This indicates that it must lead inside the island.

Perhaps one could enter through here and thereby ascend the island.

Thinking thus, Ning Chen stopped the speedboat.

He picked up a coil of rope, first tying it around his own waist, then using the rope to tie it around Zhang Xiaonian's small waist.

This way, even if some unforeseen accident occurred.

As long as the rope connected them, there would be no problem.

After all, his swimming skills were of a heaven-defying level.

176. Six days without seeing each other! Our Brother Shiguang has more guts than before...

Ten thirty in the morning.

Shark Platform.

A staff member in the back office was clipping his nails.

Crack, crack.

A nail fragment flew up, landing right in his eye.

This staff member suddenly panicked.

He rubbed for a long time, making himself tearful, yet the nail remained stuck between his eyeball and eyelid.

Just at this moment.

Someone nearby said, "He has started broadcasting!"

The staff member with the nail fragment stuck in his eye became even more panicked.

The person beside him, seeing him in tears, was also stunned.

"He just hasn't broadcast for five days; you... is this really necessary?"

"No—no, help me, my eye... damn it."

Brother Shiguang's live stream room.

At ten thirty-two.

It suddenly started broadcasting.

After a gap of five days, the streamer Brother Shiguang finally started broadcasting again.

Perhaps it was because this time off was simply too long.

So, this sudden broadcast actually caused quite a stir across the entire Shark Platform.

For instance, the streamer Old Yang Ge, known as the Shark Platform's number one brother, was doing reverse sales in his own live stream room; then, suddenly, several bullet comments popped up:

【Brother Shiguang is live!】

Just one such bullet comment.

Caused the online viewer count in Old Yang's live room to plummet from two million to one point five million in just a few seconds!

Those five hundred thousand so-called loyal fans of Old Yang simply vanished into thin air.

Old Yang had been selling a rice cooker when this sudden drop in popularity left him completely stunned.

He glanced at the bullet comments and finally understood what was happening.

Then he started shouting curses—"You bastards! You promised to accompany me, Old Yang, to watch the stars and count the moon! Yet the moment Brother Shiguang went live, you all revealed your true forms..."

Of course, this was just joking insults.

Old Yang actually had a good impression of that streamer named Brother Shiguang.

These past few days, he had occasionally listened to the few songs Brother Shiguang sang; previously, upon hearing that a live room called Brother Shiguang was actually broadcasting a volcanic eruption, he had gone specifically to watch and even tipped Brother Shiguang.

Although, at that time, Brother Shiguang hadn't paid him any attention...

So, with Brother Shiguang's live room going live again.

Rushing in were not only a massive number of Brother Shiguang's fans, the Time Guards, but also quite a few other streamers who had heard the news and arrived.

For instance, currently, the one ranked at the top of the streamer list in the Time live room.

Was the singing streamer Ye Zi.

As soon as Ye Zi entered, she first tipped a large amount.

Directly propelling herself to the first position.

Of course, there was also her own little scheme in this.

She wanted Brother Shiguang to see her, ranked at number one.

Although, he might not even know who she was...

After all, previously when she sent Ye Zi fans to bomb Brother Shiguang's live room, Brother Shiguang hadn't expressed any gratitude, acting as if he didn't care at all.

But despite this, Ye Zi still felt quite happy to be ranked first on the streamer list of Brother Shiguang's live room.

Five minutes after Brother Shiguang's live room went live.

The online viewer count directly reached seven hundred and sixty thousand!

This was quite exaggerated, after all, it had only been five minutes since going live.

Perhaps it was really because the break had been a bit too long—even though it was only merely six days.

【Brother Shiguang! Before you go offline next time, can you announce the time for your next broadcast?! Waiting like this is killing us, okay?!】

【Too much! You go offline without a word, and then you go live again without a word like this!】

【Where are you, big brother? How did you end up out at sea?】
