Chapter 38

Food and medicine basically accounted for more than half of her package, and the rest were some daily necessities.

She brought two sets of pots and pans and tableware, but the table knives and kitchen knives have turned into metal balls, but this is not that important.

There are 5 tubes of toothpaste, 10 reusable toothbrushes, and 4 towels and bath towels, all of which are the best and most durable ones she picked.

Two quilts, and she also prepared two extra sleeping bags.

She did buy two pillows, but in the end she didn't have any place to stuff them, so she didn't bring them with her.

The last time she was on an uninhabited island, she slept on the ground every day, not to mention backaches, and often had a stiff neck.

Next time...she must find a way to bring a pillow!
She randomly pulled out two hiking backpacks with strong fabrics, but they were a little deformed. This was a trick she came up with in order not to expose her own space.

She tugged at them, stretched them out of the folds formed by excessive squeezing, and threw them into the corner.

Not going to take it out yet.

She hasn't figured out this living place yet, and unlike an uninhabited island, she has prepared supplies for explorers from the beginning.

In this world, everyone is theoretically starving.

If she took out the materials at this time, even with Shen Lian and Zhou Yang present, the three of them might not be able to protect the materials in the hands of the other six.

Her face was slightly gloomy, and she felt a strong sense of crisis about the current situation.

And she originally thought that this time, she and Shen Lian would be the only ones in the team.

Even if she could meet Shen Lian again, she was actually not sure.

Therefore, she also prepared the supplies according to two people.

But she never expected that not only did she meet Shen Lian again, but also Zhou Yang.

Although, she can ignore him, after all, he is just Shen Lian's friend and has nothing to do with her.

But she also felt that this person had good skills and a good personality. He seemed to be careless, but he was actually rough and fine-grained.

She found a lot of reasons for herself, but she knew that, inexplicably, in her heart, she secretly didn't want to be calm, so she was embarrassed.

So she didn't even think about leaving Zhou Yang alone, but had already started to figure out how these supplies could make them last longer.

Probably in the next few days, they will live a little tighter, she frowned and thought.

The rest are her clothes, various styles of sportswear, sneakers, her underwear and some personal items.

He even asked Qiao Chen to help, and brought in two sets of durable military camouflage.

She also kindly prepared two sets for Shen Lian, but because she didn't know his size, she could only presumably order him according to Qiao Chen's size.

After tidying up, she left the space. She was still thinking, how long has Shen Lian been gone?
Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he saw a handsome face in front of him. The familiar light gray in the phoenix eyes reflected his slightly frightened face.

"You! Uh..."

Startled by the sudden approach of this man, she stuttered and bit her own tongue.

In an instant, water vapor filled his eyes.

"what happened?"

He didn't seem to expect that she would open her eyes suddenly. He thought she was asleep and wanted to wake her up.

Seeing her suddenly covering her mouth in pain, she thought she was uncomfortable, so she hurriedly asked.

"No... it's alright."

She waved her hands hastily, pulling some distance away from him, and then slowly relieved from the sudden sharp pain.

"Hiss... I bit my tongue."

Her black eyes were foggy and steamy, obviously in pain.

"Sorry to scare you."

Shen Lian watched her keep a distance from him without any trace, her eyes darkened, but she pursed her lips in apology.

"No, it's okay, I was not careful."

After she regained her strength, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but she still couldn't speak clearly.

"When did you come back?"

While covering his mouth, Qiao Nuonuo still had time to care about him.

"Why have you been here for so long? Is there any trouble?"

"No, go farther."

Hearing her concern, his face softened a little.

"However, this forest is indeed very strange, and it is not easy to distinguish the direction. It took me a long time to go around before I found it."

He frowned, obviously the actual situation was not as easy as he said.

Qiao Nuonuo was also silent.

If this is the case, then the task of crossing the forest is indeed a bit troublesome!

If this forest can make people lose their way, they may have to go around here for a long time...even, they can't go out again.

Her face was gloomy, and she habitually thought of the worst possible situation, which made her mood obviously a little gloomy.

If I had known earlier, I would have brought a compass in!
She couldn't help being annoyed, but she also knew that she couldn't predict the future no matter what, and omissions were inevitable.

"don’t worry,"

Shen Lian patted her shoulder,
"I can come back safely, which shows that the power of confusing direction is not insurmountable. As long as we make marks along the way, there will not be too many forks in the road."

Qiao Nuonuo nodded, his words could always calm her down when she was flustered.

"You haven't eaten yet!"

As she spoke, she took out two pieces of bread, a bottle of mineral water and a carton of milk.

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows as he watched the pile of food suddenly stuffed into his arms.

"You brought it in? The bag of trash?"

Qiao Nuonuo understood the ridicule in his words, and couldn't help imitating him, raising his eyebrows.

"Don't pay me back!"

As she said that, she stretched out her hand to grab it, Shen Lian dodged, avoided her hand, and sat aside.

"Thank you."

He hooked his lips, raised the bread in his hand that had been torn by him at some point, and smiled lightly at her.

Qiao Nuo paused, and sat back as if nothing had happened, but his cheeks were slightly red for no reason.

"Ahem, I said little Nuonuo, you are partial!"

Zhou Yang on the side couldn't see it anymore, he coughed lightly, pointed to the pile of food in Shen Lian's arms, and said

"That's a lot for the boss... Tsk, and milk! Why do you give me just a piece of bread and a bottle of mineral water? You are treating them differently!"

He yelled indignantly, but Shen Lian beside him seemed in a good mood.

Qiao Nuonuo froze for a moment, looked at him apologetically, and explained

"I don't know your food intake, are you not full?"

Zhou Yang choked for a moment, looked at the innocent little girl, then at his boss who squinted and looked dangerous, paused, and then sat back with a weary expression.

"I'm stuffed……"

After speaking, he leaned against the tree trunk and looked at the two with resentful eyes.

Qiao Nuonuo touched his nose and didn't quite understand what he was awkward about. After thinking for a while, he threw him a Snickers bar, turned his head to look at Shen Lian, and asked

"Shall we continue walking?"

She looked up at the sky, but it was still gray, she couldn't see the sun, she couldn't figure out what time it was, and she couldn't tell the direction.

However, the heat is continuously absorbed by the mist, stuffy in the forest, and there is no wind blowing through. The whole forest is like a big steamer, making people feel oppressed for a while, and sweating is constantly flowing.

"Let's go, rest in place when it gets dark, and take turns to watch the night tonight."

Qiao Nuonuo nodded, she didn't have any idea about the vigil.

This place is different from the jungle on the uninhabited island. The uninhabited island is mostly wild beasts and wolves. Make a fire, be more vigilant, and you can barely rest.

The danger hidden here is still unknown, before finding out, it is better to be cautious.

"I walked around just now, and the surrounding area looks similar, except for this weird tree, there are no other plants,"

He paused, and said with a somewhat indistinct expression,

"...I didn't see any living things either."

He and Zhou Yang looked at each other with deep solemnity in their eyes.

Qiao Nuonuo's heart skipped a beat, remembering when she was outside before, she felt that the forest was too quiet and lifeless.

Sure enough, it turned out that there was no living thing?
She looked around, closed her eyes quietly, released her mental power, and carefully explored within the maximum range, not letting go of every inch of land.

As time went by, a fine layer of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her back was drenched with sweat.

After a while, she opened her eyes abruptly.

"someone is coming!"

As she spoke, she walked quickly to Shen Lian's side, and put the food and water he hadn't finished eating into the space, and she picked up all the packing bags on the ground and threw them into the space.

Shen Lian and Shen Lian also stood up immediately. Shen Lian had seen her special vigilance, so he had no doubts about her.

Although Zhou Yang has doubts in his heart, he has a cautious personality and would rather believe it, so he is also prepared.

Sure enough, after a while, the two heard the sound of footsteps on the leaves.

Although the visitor tried his best to suppress the sound of his footsteps, the environment was special and the forest was too quiet, every sound was infinitely amplified and echoed in the forest.

The three of them listened solemnly, as if there were rustling footsteps coming from all directions.

Through his mental strength, Qiao Nuonuo knew which direction the person was coming from.

Based on their investigative skills, the two of Shen Lian reacted quickly in such a confusing environment.

"this is for you."

Just when Qiao Nuonuo was tensing up, Shen Lian leaned over at some point, stuffed the machete into her hand, and whispered in her ear.

Qiao Nuonuo didn't give in either. This was her trophy in the first place, but now it's hers.

Another one, these two people are better than her in skill, she has a weapon to defend herself, and she will not hold back at critical moments.

She glanced at Shen Lian, nodded, and said to him in the same breath,

"It's the people in the car."

She is clear about the unique aura of each of the people who have been probed by her mental power.

However, she didn't have much contact with them, so for a while, she only felt that the breath was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

 Thank you Fusheng for the cute recommendation ticket!
  Everyone supports and collects a lot~
