At the very least, even if they can't contact the outside world by noon tomorrow, according to the original plan, these ships should be near the shore to pick them up.

"Alright, it's settled."

"By the way, what did you just say? What did you say about whether it's raining over there, what did the old man say?"

"He said no, the weather is very clear, and he said he even checked the sea weather today and found that the sea weather forecast doesn't show any rain."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure, that's what he said. Why, haven't you said it yourself? The weather at sea is inherently unpredictable; even with forecasts, they aren't necessarily accurate. Even the weather forecasts we usually watch aren't 100% accurate."

"If that's the case, could it be that someone is deliberately making it rain on this island?"

"What? Deliberately making it rain on the island, that, that can't be possible, right? And if he's causing rain like this, what on earth does he want to accomplish?"

"I'm not sure. Don't worry, let me investigate."

As they spoke, Anying took out another machine and began analyzing some basic conditions of the entire sea surface.

"That's right, it seems the old man was completely correct; the entire sea is calm now, with no rain at all."

"So, now only our little island is raining, which means, a cloud and a patch of rain, this is also a normal situation, right?"

"Normal or not, I don't know, but I must find a way to dispel this cloud, otherwise, we won't be able to leave here smoothly. Moreover, according to this plan, I'm afraid it will last a whole day and night, and even by dawn, it won't dissipate."

"What did you say? This rain will continue indefinitely? If that's the case, can we assume that everything is artificially manipulated?"

"I'm not sure, fortunately, I brought some equipment, it should be able to modify these effects. No need to rush."

As he spoke, Anying took out something like a shell from his backpack.

Ye Chen had never seen it before and didn't know exactly what effect it would have once launched.

"You guys wait here for a bit. I'll go outside and launch this into the sky. If it's really human-caused, I believe in a few minutes, this place will see the sun again."

"Alright, I got it. Do you need me to do anything?"

"You can't really help with much right now, and it's just a simple procedure; no big issues. Please wait, it should be done in a minute or two."

As he spoke, Anying took the device and left the tent.

Ye Chen just opened the tent door and observed closely from there.

He saw Anying had walked to a more open spot in the center, looked around to make sure there were no obstructions, and then skillfully operated the device.

In just a minute, Ye Chen saw a flash of fire in front of him, and then something shot straight into the sky.

Anying simply checked the position and then hurried back into the tent.

He skillfully operated a remote sensor, seemingly tracking the exact location where the shell had stopped.

"How's the situation now?"

"It's already risen to the air, now it's breaking down the clouds. I estimate we'll see the effect soon."

Ye Chen nodded reassuringly, realizing that Anying could indeed skillfully operate various equipment, and even with this overcast rainy weather, it seemed to be well within their control.

"Hey, this rain, the rain is really light now."

Suddenly, Lin Yaru glanced outside, feeling that the gale and dense clouds had already been greatly alleviated.

Now, the rain had become a dense drizzle, and the clouds had gradually started to disperse.

"Alright, it's done. In about 5 more minutes, all the clouds should clear out completely, and then this place will see bright skies again."

"So, what's going on exactly? Can we now confirm if someone is deliberately manipulating these events?"

"I can't say for sure, but it is quite possible that these people are doing something like this. But, speculating on this doesn't hold any significance now."

"Why is it meaningless? Also, if they are forcing it to rain here, what's their purpose?"

"What other purpose could they have other than to trap us on the island, leaving us stranded? The heavy rain just now suggests that even if we went out, we wouldn't find any clues. I guess these people are using this strategic method."

"Now that it has completely cleared up, does that mean they are also at a loss?"

"It should be the case. However, even if they want to redo it, it will take some time, so we must act quickly."

As he spoke, Anying looked at his phone to check the time. It was now 7:00 in the afternoon.

In a few hours, the sea would begin to fully recede, and once it did, the marshland would begin to respond.

This was something they had all been waiting for, so everyone's mood was very excited.

They quietly waited, and about 10 minutes later, the rain had indeed completely stopped. Looking up, they could even see the moon in the sky.

"In a little more than two hours, the tide will officially retreat. Once it recedes, the surrounding island areas will be most dangerous, so tonight our situation should be absolutely safe. At least, incoming ships won't easily approach, as it poses a considerable risk for them."
