Koi Survival Code

Chapter 23

But, does he know that he still has a brother?
Subconsciously, Qiao Nuonuo felt that it would be better not to tell him about it for the time being.

She touched her nose, and while exploring the grass with a thumb-thick wooden stick that No. 1 gave her, she slowly fell behind No. 1 and dawdled.

It's not that she doesn't want to walk faster, it's that her body doesn't support it!

The wound on her back was too long. A wound of this size would require stitches in the real world.

But now the conditions are not allowed, so I can only tie it with cloth strips and let it recover slowly by itself.

No. 1 specifically told her not to use too much force, this kind of wound is too easy to burst.

If it breaks apart, it will be more troublesome to heal, and there may be infection...

But he didn't know, even if he didn't say anything, she couldn't force her.

The place where her ribs were broken really hurt!
With such a slow walking speed, she could feel the broken stubble in her chest rubbing against each other, and with her movements, she felt a blunt pain after another.

She sighed a little helplessly, watching the distance between the two getting farther and farther, she put aside those distracting thoughts, and tried her best to speed up her pace to catch up.

No. 1 didn't notice it at first, after all, he had to keep an eye on his surroundings and under his feet, and be alert to possible creatures in the forest.

He still remembered that there were wolves in this forest!

After a long time, I suddenly realized that the chattering voices around me disappeared, and then realized that the little girl hadn't followed.

When No. 1 went back the same way, he saw Qiao Nuo Nuo resting against a big tree very weakly from a distance.

Her complexion doesn't seem to be very good...

No. 1 frowned and walked over quickly.

"What's wrong? Not feeling well?"

"Well, it's okay, I'll rest for a while."

Qiao Nuonuo raised his head slightly, and cold sweat kept breaking out on his pale face.

"Is the wound open?"

No. 1 felt that something was wrong with her, so he stretched out his hand to pull her up, and wanted to lift her clothes to check.

"No, no!"

Qiao Nuonuo struggled, dodging his big hand stretched behind his back.

"It's the chest, where it was broken before, and I can't use it."

No. 1 pursed her lips and watched her pretending to be relaxed, feeling a little annoyed.

It was he who overestimated her physical fitness. According to his physical condition, he didn't take such a minor injury as two broken ribs seriously!

But the child is different, she is a girl, and she has not undergone his kind of endurance training. She has endured until now and said that she is already very strong.

"Sorry, I didn't notice."

Qiao Nuonuo looked up at him in surprise, and seeing that he was indeed very sincere, with remorse on his face, he waved his hands and said:

"It's nothing to do with you, it's me who's holding back."

Her appearance made No. 1 feel a little uncomfortable.

He is capable in himself, but naturally he is a little arrogant.

He thought that with his ability, he could easily pass the trial with this kid who fit his appetite.

But I didn't expect that when he was not around, she was attacked and injured, and now it was because of his carelessness that she was injured again.

He pursed his lips, his usual self-confidence suffered a blow.

"Just say if you're uncomfortable."

He raised his hand and rubbed Qiao Nuonuo's head vigorously.

"don’t worry."

He comforted the child dryly, and finally squatted directly in front of Qiao Nuo Nuo.

"Come up!"

"I found a place in front where I can rest temporarily. I'll carry you on my back, let's go there quickly!"

Seeing that Qiao Nuonuo was not moving, he coaxed him half-truthfully.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Qiao Nuonuo hesitated for a moment, and leaned on his back obediently.

"Then let me down when you're tired!"

Qiao Nuonuo whispered in his ear, his thin and warm breath hit his neck gently, making him turn his head away uncomfortably.

"Thank you, brother, brother..."

The moment No. 1 stood up with Qiao Nuonuo behind his back, he heard her soft voice ringing in his ears.

The shy tone made his heart tremble slightly.

The corner of his lips raised subconsciously fell into Qiao Nuonuo's eyes.

really!This is indeed his little hobby!

Qiao Nuonuo thought he was flattering the right ass, and chuckled quietly, a little smug in his heart.

On the other hand, No. 1 feels that the child is really dependent on him, making her so happy to call her brother is really easy to satisfy!
It's just a title, if she likes it, let her continue calling it... He thought helplessly.

……

No. 1 walked for a while with Qiao Nuonuo on his back, and at noon, he came across a not-so-large open space.

Qiao Nuonuo's condition is not very good, and No. 1 doesn't plan to walk for too long today.

After discussing for a few words, the two decided to settle down here.

He carefully put Qiao Nuonuo down and asked her to take out the wooden shed in the space.

No. 1 didn't need Qiao Nuonuo's help at all, so he buried the four pillars of the shed in the soil and fixed them in twos and twos.

Indeed, as No. 1 said at the beginning, it is very convenient!
Of course, this is under the premise that Qiao Nuonuo has space.

Qiao Nuonuo was not idle either, carrying the machete he snatched from No. 2, he cut a bunch of palm leaves nearby and spread them in the shed.

Fortunately, the machete was very sharp, and she didn't need much effort to get a lot of it easily.

Once that was done, she spread the mop and sheets over the palm fronds.

There is no way, they are now on the gentle slope going to a higher place, the rain is heavy, and there is always water on the ground, flowing down the terrain like a stream.

If you don't raise it higher, it is estimated that the sheets will be soaked in a while.

Even with grass blades, it doesn't really work.

It's just that the two of them don't have the energy to make another bed, so they can only deal with it like this.

"Just let me do it."

Seeing her struggling to make the bed on the 1st, she hurriedly took over and made it quickly.

Only then did the two of them have time to sit down and rest their feet. Qiao Nuonuo took out two big steamed buns, handed them to No. 1, and gave him a box of milk. The two of them simply had lunch.

"The ground is too damp, if you sleep like this, you don't know if you will get sick?"

Qiao Nuonuo frowned a little annoyed.

"Well, it's still early, I'll cut some more wood nearby, put it under, and get some more firewood by the way."

Number 1 looked at Qiao Nuonuo, patted the top of her hair comfortingly, and turned around to go out.

"Hey wait!"

"Ok?"

Number 1 looks back at her.

"Well... how about I go with you?"

Qiao Nuonuo said hesitantly.

In fact, she knew that it would be best if she was in the camp. Although there were not many supplies here, it would be very troublesome if the shed was damaged!

But she still has some lingering fears, at least for the time being, she doesn't want to leave No. 1's sight.

"it is good."

Unexpectedly, No. 1 agreed without even thinking about it. Qiao Nuonuo was stunned for a while, and he hesitated when he recovered, wondering if he was too hypocritical?

"Let's go."

No. 1 carried the intact military shovel and turned to remind her.

"coming!"

Qiao Nuonuo put aside the mess in his head, responded, and followed.

This time No. 1 obviously slowed down, probably to prevent her from being unable to keep up and getting lost in the woods.

The two of them were indeed as he said, not too far away, so they turned around, and when they turned around, they could still see the wooden shed not far away.

Qiao Nuonuo can't cut firewood for the time being, so he can only act as a costless porter.

Put the treated wood on No. 1 into the space.

She gave No. 2 the machete that No. 1 had.

Seeing No. 1 chopping down a tree as thick as a forearm in twos and threes very smoothly, she sighed again that the knives produced by the system are indeed much sharper than ordinary military shovels.

Just thinking back to the loss she suffered under this big knife two days ago, and her back was still aching, she felt that it was not so wonderful.

When No. 1 cut the tree, she picked up some broken branches from the ground around him.

The branches that fell to the ground can also be used to light a fire after going back to dry, but they are not very resistant to burning.

Taking advantage of the time this afternoon, the two chopped more firewood.

After all, according to the current rate of rising water level, the two of them have no idea what the island will be like in the end.

In the next few days, they still have to spend as much time as possible on their way to get to a higher place as soon as possible.

It's just because Qiao Nuonuo took away the kayak on the first day, so even if the island was completely submerged, the two of them would not be in a desperate situation.

The two stayed together until the evening. On the 1st, seeing that Qiao Nuonuo was losing energy, he took her back to the camp.

At night, the two were busy drying the firewood they got back, and No. 1 used a row of arms-thick wood to padded under the bed.

In order to prevent slipping, hemp rope was also used to fix it between the wood.

In this way, when he leaves tomorrow, Qiao Nuonuo has another big item to store in the space.

Fortunately, she still has room to spare.

In the next few days, the two kept trying their best to hurry, and did not encounter any danger during the period.

No matter whether it was the wild wolf that No. 1 was concerned about, or any other creature, I didn't see it, which made No. 1's heart a little bit heavier.

Qiao Nuonuo also noticed such a weird anomaly.

She is not as sensitive as No. 1, but she also knows that the intuition of small animals is always the most accurate!

They must have sensed the danger, so they hid one after another.

The torrential rain still didn't stop.

Several times No. 1 climbed up the tree to check, and came back to tell her that the water level had submerged the small beach, and many of the trees on the edge of the forest had been swept away.

As the water level rose, more and more turbulent waves continued to beat and swallow the forest.

The premonition of the two became a reality, and their hearts were a little heavy.

What would have happened if they hadn't moved quickly and remained on that beach?

Qiao Nuonuo didn't dare to think about it.

Where will the water level rise and stop?
Or... will it never stop?

They only know that the only thing they can do now is to reach the highest point of this small island as soon as possible!

The rest, I am afraid, is to do my best and know the destiny...
