2026-10-31 04:03:11The preserved salted meat we had stolen earlier, along with the supplies collected by Sean and the others, was hidden in an underground pit they had dug, similar to the cellars used by northerners.
A cellar was a good way to store food. Not only did it slow down the decay of food, but it also prevented the spread of odors, avoiding attracting wild animals.I must say, Sean and his crew had quite a few tricks up their sleeves.Of course, now these things all belonged to me.

I bent the branches into a fan shape and then used the rope to tie them in concentric circles. Soon, a net-like structure formed on the branches.From a distance, this thing looked a bit like a tennis racket."Oh, I get it! Chris, are you making a tennis racket to keep us active and warm?"Cindy excitedly raised her hand, resembling an elementary school student answering a question—very cute.However, I shook my head at her and said, 'Of course not. While your idea is great, and I can make you one if you want to play tennis in the future, it serves a different purpose."Saying that, I found more rope and securely tied this contraption to my feet.Of course, I made two of them.The other girls hadn't figured out what this was, and Mandy gave me a thumbs up, "Chris, you're really clever! Is this a snowshoe? With these, we can walk safely in the snow!"Because the snow in the woods was too deep and soft, when we walked, we sank and pulled o

In reality, the temperature had been steadily dropping during this period. Perhaps due to the gradual nature of the process and our sufficient warmth measures, we hadn't felt much until that morning.However, I was abruptly awakened by waves of cold air. Initially, I thought the campfire had gone out, but upon opening my eyes, the slightly pale flames were still burning well.Deadly cold air seeped through the crevices of the cave entrance, giving a piercing sensation. The howling sound of the fierce wind faintly reached us, as if someone far away were shouting.It made my heart skip a beat, creating a sense of foreboding. I pushed open the wooden door of the cave and walked out, and instantly, my entire being turned grim.Everything in sight turned white, except for the gloomy and oppressive sky. The forests and grasslands had become a sea of white, with snow piled so high that it reached knee level with each step.It was unimaginable. How much snow had fal

Eve was indeed not an ordinary person.However, after reading this letter, my inner confusion became even greater, and the pain intensified.What could be on this island?Why did people from the island country during World War II, Eve's father, and Eve herself, go on searching one after another, disregarding everything?Did Eve not tell me about this to avoid involving me, or did she not know herself?However, it was evident that the secrets on this island were far beyond the reach of ordinary people. A deep sense of powerlessness rose in my heart, a kind of sorrow for a small individual.Should I really just ignore Eve? Perhaps Eve was right. My rationality told me that I should forget about her and return to the peaceful city life, patiently waiting for the day she returned.But my emotions and inner sense of responsibility disagreed.After numerous nights of struggling, I made another seemingly foolish but conscientious and brave decision.<

Cynthia's words left us all stunned, struggling to find the right words."Maybe you just saw things wrong. Why would Eve jump down from here on such a cold day?" Mandy found it hard to believe."That's why I said I'm not sure. Chris, you said you wouldn't blame me even if I'm wrong." Cynthia said with a hint of fear.This girl seemed quite timid.I forced a smile at her, trying to reassure her, though my mind was racing with thoughts.On the surface, it seemed illogical for Eve to jump down from here, especially in such freezing weather. However, as I replayed recent events in my mind, everything seemed to fall into place.The cave walls were engraved with cryptic messages left by a madwoman, which we couldn't understand due to the Jareanese text. However, Eve must have deciphered them and learned something significant.What could be hidden beneath the spring?Without hesitation, I decided to go down and investigate. But I needed to be cautiou

"Well, Eve, let me explain." I suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed. Unlike the other women, Eve and I had a confirmed relationship. According to Eve, she still wanted to pursue other women, so she didn't allow me to disclose it publicly."No need to explain. I've been looking for you everywhere outside, tired to death. You seem quite comfortable here." Eve shot me a disdainful look.I hurriedly wanted to say something, feeling anxious deep down. However, before I could speak, Eve couldn't hold back and teased me, "Look at your anxious silly appearance." I instantly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Eve wasn't really angry; she was just teasing me. She truly had a broad-minded attitude.After exchanging a few words with me, Eve sat by the campfire and chatted with everyone. The tense atmosphere in the cave from before suddenly eased, but it was clear that the girls had divided into several factions and didn't get along.Nicole and Cynthia formed one group, whi

"From today onwards, we are all part of the same camp. Let's get to know each other!" Seeing my solemn expression, Eve quickly changed the topic to something light-hearted and said.While speaking, she curiously observed Nicole and the dancing girl.Cindy, who wasn't from our company before, naturally didn't know Nicole."Hello, everyone! I'm Cynthia, a dance student. I'm twenty years old, and it's a pleasure to meet you all," Cynthia greeted with a pleasing smile. She turned out to be a university student, about the same age as Cindy.In contrast to Cynthia's careful and nervous demeanor, Nicole appeared more arrogant. After scanning the other women, she sat down with her legs apart and said, "I'm Nicole, you can call me Nicky!"Seeing her arrogant appearance, Queenie couldn't stand it, and she let out a disdainful snort. Back when they were in the company, Nicole would never dare to speak to her like this. Every time, it was respectful. What happened now?<
