"I've done many things to hurt my sister before, and now I can't face her," Gentle said, her eyes welling up with tears, looking very pitiable.
Though Dong Binrui was unsure of what had happened between the two sisters, he felt that the warmth and beauty emitted by Gentle matched her name. He didn't think Gentle was a bad girl at all; on the contrary, the one called Wen Yao seemed sharp and filled with aggression, not very approachable.
As he thought this, he didn't show it on his face and comforted, "Gentle, don't be too sad. True sisters won't carry on with hatred forever. As long as you sincerely apologize, I believe your sister will forgive you."
Dong Binrui's tone was optimistic, but Gentle shook her head helplessly and said, "It's impossible."
Gentle was very pretty, and beautiful girls always make people want to protect them, especially when she looked so hurt.
Dong Binrui asked, "Do you want to reconcile with your sister?"
"Of course!"
Gentle was aware that many viewers were watching the live broadcast and it was her chance to express her attitude. She continued earnestly, "I've realized my mistakes before. It was wrong of me to hurt her, and I won't do something so foolish again in the future."
Dong Binrui patted her shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, I'll be here. If we have the chance to meet your sister, I will surely help you reconcile."
Hearing this, Gentle looked at Dong Binrui with teary eyes and said, "Thank you."
As Gentle and Dong Binrui continued talking, they walked towards the depths of the jungle. Meanwhile, the barrage in the live broadcast room had already filled the screen.
"It was my Yoyo who suffered for so many years, but Gentle spoke as if she was the one being bullied."
"If only Gentle had used her skills to act properly, her acting wouldn't be so bad."
"Quick, send a lion or a beast to get Gentle offline soon; I'm really annoyed just seeing her."
"Am I the only one who thinks Gentle really understands her mistakes?"
"Is this guy from Xinjaiguohua brainless?"
The helicopter flew for over twenty hours from the empire to arrive at this huge deserted island, so no one knew the exact location of the island.
Wen Yao already lacked knowledge about the world's geography, and now, she knew even less. However, this wasn't important; what mattered was survival.
Wen Yao observed the position of the sun in the sky. When they had just arrived, it was midday, and now it had been six hours. The sun showed no sign of setting.
When they left the capital, it was late autumn, and winter would officially start in another half a month. Here, the daylight was still very long, and the sun was very intense at noon.
From this perspective, this deserted island was probably located near the equator in a tropical region.
In this climate, the most important thing for them was water resources.
People could survive for a month by drinking only water, but if the body was dehydrated, it wouldn't last more than three days.
The island was surrounded by the sea, but seawater was undrinkable. Their best way to obtain water was from animals and plants, with animals being more difficult, and plants being easier.
Wen Yao, who was clear on this point, took very careful steps as she kept an eye out for non-toxic plants with high water content in the jungle.
Since the previous incident, Lu Yunxi had placed very high trust in Wen Yao's abilities.
Her intuition told her that Wen Yao would definitely make it to the end, and following her wouldn't be wrong.
So even though she didn't know where she was going after following Wen Yao for six hours, her legs were already very sore, but she continued to endure, not daring to lag behind even a little.
Finally, as the sky gradually darkened, with still some time until it was completely dark, Wen Yao stopped walking.
Lu Yunxi also stopped.
"Tonight we'll stay here." Wen Yao looked around and felt the terrain was very suitable, "You set up the tent first, I'll go find some dry branches for the fire."
Lan Yunxi nodded and immediately began to act. Wen Yao, noticing Lan Yunxi's concern, said, "I'll be nearby, call me immediately if anything happens."
Lan Yunxi was taken aback at her words, feeling warmth in her heart. Just now, Wen Yao had said not to count on her for help, but now...
This was typical of someone who seemed tough on the outside but had a kind heart.
Lan Yunxi moved very quickly, and by the time Wen Yao returned, the tent was already set up, and the fire was burning.
Sitting around the fire, Lan Yunxi took two packs of compressed biscuits from her backpack and handed one to Wen Yao without any hesitation.
On a deserted island, the food supply is limited, and everyone carries life-saving provisions. Sharing one’s own life-saving food with others is a big gesture.
Wen Yao hesitated to take the packet of compressed biscuits. "Keep it for now, don't rush. Tonight, we'll have meat to eat."
"What?" Lan Yunxi widened her eyes, not understanding what Wen Yao meant.
Then, the two suddenly heard a loud “crack” sound, the kind that could only come from metal hitting each other.
"The meat's here."
Wen Yao immediately got up and ran towards the source of the sound, with Lan Yunxi following closely. In a clump of grass, they found an unknown wild animal lying on the ground, its leg already crushed by sharp teeth with fresh blood flowing.
Lan Yunxi, seeing this scene, was stunned. Wen Yao had brought hunting tools into the wilderness, and they had a catch on their first night.
Wen Yao quickly cleaned the blood off the animal trap and put it in her bag, then she picked up the not-so-small animal and returned to the fire.
"Wen Yao, how did you do that?"
She knew they hadn't seen this type of animal before.
"It's simple. When I was looking for firewood, I found animal droppings. Judging by the size and color of the droppings, I guessed that the animal should not be large and could be an herbivore. So, I observed the surrounding bushes and soon found traces of a certain type of grass being bitten. I then set the trap in the bushes."
"Also, remember the look of this grass – if animals can eat it, we can too."
Lan Yunxi promptly remembered what Wen Yao said and curiously asked, "Wen Yao, how do you know so much?"
She had experienced a lot of shortages of food and supplies during military campaigns and was often trapped in remote and dangerous regions. After encountering these situations multiple times, she naturally learned a lot.
Of course, Wen Yao couldn't tell them all of this.
While roughly processing the animal, she replied, "Isn't this how they do it in TV dramas?"
Lan Yunxi: "..."
Wen Yao used a knife to cut off the animal's head and limbs, leaving only the most fattest part of the meat, then stuffed it with a large bunch of edible grass before skewering it with a stick and roasting it over the fire, turning it 360 degrees repeatedly.
Soon, the delicious meat began to drip with oil and the skin shone. It was especially appetizing in this environment.
At this point in time, it was already 11 o'clock in China, and the audience watching the live broadcast went crazy.
"Am I really watching a survival show on a deserted island? Or is it a food show?"
"Does Wen Yao turn a survival show into a gourmet program? Why hasn’t my takeout arrived yet?"
"Is there anything Wen Yao can't do?"
The barrage was filled with people being terrified by Wen Yao's full-star survival skills and ordering takeout. Just as the meat was ready to be shared, the two suddenly received a few unexpected visitors.
The danger on a deserted island not only came from the island itself but also from other guests.
Wen Yao looked at the three sturdy men in front of her with no change in expression on her face.
Lan Yunxi moved closer to Wen Yao and took the initiative to ask, "Do you have something to discuss, gentlemen?"
The three men looked at the food in Wen Yao's hand with glinting eyes. After not having eaten for several hours, they were now salivating.
One of them swallowed and said, "It's not safe for you two girls to travel alone. Why don’t we form a team and travel together?"
When Lan Yunxi heard this, she looked at Wen Yao. Wen Yao responded, "What if I say no?"
"Little girl, don't refuse so outrightly. Look at your thighs, they're not as thick as my forearm. If you encounter dangerous beasts, it's safer for you to be with us, right?"
"Aren't you afraid?"
"We're big men, of course, we're not afraid."
Wen Yao then said, "Then take a look behind you."
When they heard this, they suddenly turned around, and in the darkness, they saw two pairs of eyes emitting a green glow, fixed on them. Then, a howling sound was heard, and two hungry wolves charged at them.
Lan Yunxi was terrified and was about to pick up a torch when she heard Wen Yao shout, "Lan Yunxi, come up here."
She looked up and saw that Wen Yao, who had been beside her a second ago, was now sitting on a branch and reaching out her hand to her.
Wen Yao was very strong, and without much effort, she helped Lan Yunxi up onto the branch and then gave her a large piece of roast meat.
As the two sat on the thick branches, watching the trio and the two wolves battle below, Lan Yunxi was too worried to have any appetite, while Wen Yao seemed very relaxed.
She was well aware that every guest selected to be on this show must have exceptional qualities.
If these three big men couldn't handle basic dangers like two wolves, it would only be a matter of time before they met their end.
She can indeed lend a hand, but she can't help forever. They will have to face these dangers themselves sooner or later.
But Wen Yao guessed it right, the three men do have real skills. But the fierceness of those two wolves should not be underestimated.
Just as Wen Yao was about to jump down to help them, two more people emerged and joined the fight.
Lan Yunxi, who had been tense watching the battle, saw the new arrivals and her expression changed.
"Wen Yao, look, it's your sister."
Author's note: [50 red packets for this chapter]
I'm sorry for not updating yesterday. Yesterday was probably the darkest day of 2019 for me.
The day before yesterday, it rained heavily on Mount Emei, and I woke up feeling very unwell yesterday. Then my younger brother called to say that Fat Nine was missing. I was supposed to go back to Chongqing with my best friend yesterday, but a friend from Chengdu asked me to meet up, so I changed my ticket to stay an extra day, only to be stood up.
Sick, lost cat, stood up for a highly anticipated date, being alone in a strange city, all these things piled up and my mind exploded.
As soon as I found out I was stood up, I immediately bought a high-speed train ticket back to Chongqing. I had a drink with my best friend at night, and my mood improved a lot, but Fat Nine still hasn't been found.
Do you have any tips for finding a cat? It's 10 o'clock now, I'm going out to the nearby area to see if Fat Nine is there, I hope he is.
