At that moment, the resting deity opened its eyes and, with a sudden flutter of its wings, pounced toward Perry Reed.
Perry Reed raised his hand, letting it settle on his elbow.
"Follow your mom."
After patting the deity’s feathers, Perry Reed instructed it in a solemn voice.
As he spoke, he glanced at Flossie Wright.
The deity, as if having understood, unexpectedly squawked and then left Perry Reed’s elbow, flying towards Flossie Wright.
Flossie Wright’s mouth twitched slightly.
What did he mean by—
Frowning, Flossie Wright didn’t bother to argue with him and turned to walk toward the cave entrance.
Holding a military knife in her hand, she chopped off some branches from the tree blocking the entrance, making an opening just large enough for her to pass through, and then sprang out nimbly.
In an instant, she was out of sight.
In front of Perry Reed, Flossie Wright had never thought of "escaping."
Not to mention that the deity was with her, always able to find her, even if Perry Reed’s strengths were considered, if she left half an hour before him, Perry Reed could easily find her.
She had already tested Perry Reed’s capabilities in this area during the Marine Corps selection survival training overseas.
Just like in hand-to-hand combat, she couldn’t beat Glenn Hutchinson in any way.
In one kilometer, Flossie Wright walked for about fifteen minutes.
At last, she found the cave she had seen the day before.
Before approaching, Flossie Wright asked the deity to stay away for a moment, then after observing the nearby terrain, she headed towards the cave.
Outside it was pitch dark, with Flossie Wright’s visibility no more than one meter, but as she arrived at the mouth of the cave, there was no trace of the bonfire she had in mind, and the inside was just as black, without the slightest glimmer of light.
She paused for two seconds at the entrance.
Flossie Wright took out a waterproof match and quickly lit one.
The light flared up.
The situation inside the cave was instantly revealed before her eyes.
There was a person lying in the corner, back facing the entrance, and not far from her was a pile of burned-out wood, leaving only ashes behind.
The empty cave, apart from the figure and ashes, contained nothing but a pile of stones.
Flossie Wright’s brows instinctively knitted together.
In such cold weather, to light just a single fire and to lie directly on the ground—
It would be strange if there were no problems.
Thinking this, the match in her hand had burned to the end, and Flossie Wright let go, allowing it to fall with a spark.
Stepping back twice, Flossie Wright blew a whistle.
The deity, which had disappeared somewhere, returned to her hand in less than two seconds.
Looking rather solemn, Flossie Wright quietly commanded the deity, "Go get some food."
The next moment, the deity, as if understanding, immediately flew away without a trace.
Flossie Wright raised her eyes, watching it disappear into the night sky.
A sigh of resignation escaped her, and after hesitating for a moment, Flossie Wright straightened her hat and then left the entrance of the cave.
It took her only a few minutes to return, carrying several sticks of wood and some dry grass.
By memory of the terrain, Flossie Wright didn’t waste matches and made her way in the dark to the side of the person lying on the ground—Liliana Prutoz.
She placed the items next to the pile of ashes and reached out to test the temperature.
There was no warmth at all.
It was very cold.
The fire must have been out for some time.
After a pause, Flossie Wright went to check Liliana Prutoz’s aura and temperature again.
There was breath, she wasn’t frozen to death.
She had a fever.
"Who’s there?"
Feeling an icy hand placed on her forehead, Liliana Prutoz furrowed her brows tightly and squeezed out two words.
Her body felt cold, her forehead hot, and Liliana Prutoz couldn’t even open her eyes, let alone be fully conscious.
Barely aware of someone’s presence nearby, she couldn’t help but ask aloud.
Movement meant life.
Flossie Wright didn’t answer her.
Approaching the ashes, Flossie Wright lit a match and quickly ignited the easily combustible dry grass.
She placed all of the dry grass near the ashes, and at the peak of its burning, she added more dry kindling to the fire.
The rain outside had stopped, and the grass and wood she had collected weren’t completely damp, making lighting them not as difficult as the day before.
Before long, the cave began to lighten up, and the fire grew brighter as time passed.
Once it burnt vigorously, Flossie Wright went out to gather more wood to bring back.
She lit campfires a meter away from Liliana Prutoz’s head and feet.
Flossie Wright worked swiftly, but by the time she finished, daylight was also gradually breaking.
Feeling the warmth spread, her whole body warm and toasty, Liliana Prutoz was slowly rousing from her unconscious state.
"Flossie Wright?"
Rubbing her eyes, Liliana Prutoz’s gaze focused on the busy figure tending the fire, and her half-closed eyes suddenly widened in shock.
How, how could it be—
Liliana Prutoz’s expression was confused, she did not understand why, just staring blankly at Flossie Wright.
The fire danced in the slight breeze, Flossie Wright half-squatted to add wood to the fire, and upon hearing Liliana Prutoz’s voice, still didn’t acknowledge her.
She continued tending to the fire on her own.
Liliana Prutoz rubbed her eyes fiercely, starting to doubt if she was dreaming.
Flossie Wright—
Could it really be her?
Liliana Prutoz didn’t know, but as she watched Flossie Wright’s figure, she felt nothing but astonishment.
𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
After she had chased her away last night, letting her find this cave herself, could it be possible that Flossie Wright would take care of her personally upon waking up?
The more Liliana Prutoz thought about it, the more suspicious she became.
Her body was exhausted, her mind foggy, and as her thoughts circled back, the anger from the previous day returned.
Suddenly, a nameless fury flared up.
"Flossie Wright!"
She called out loudly, propping herself up with both hands, struggling to sit up.
At the sound of that voice, Flossie Wright briefly hesitated, then lifted her eyes and looked toward Liliana Prutoz who was sitting up.
She was met with a pair of angry eyes.
"Flossie Wright, don’t pretend to be kind!"
Her eyes flashing with rage, Liliana Prutoz glowered at Flossie Wright resentfully.
As if she had a deep-seated grudge against Flossie Wright.
