She needed to rest!
Flossie Wright squatted down, approaching Devina Millet, who was lying on the ground.
"What do you say?"
Her low voice, accompanied by the pitter-patter of rain, gently floated into Devina Millet’s ears.
Devina Millet felt a shiver run through her body, and in a moment of decisiveness, she flipped over and sat up straight from the ground.
And, upon urgently opening her eyes, Devina Millet saw Flossie Wright on one side, stiffening slightly and feeling a chill run down her spine.
She had never seen anyone so frightening before!
"I’ll get to work right away, OK?"
Devina Millet raised her hands, almost pleadingly addressing Flossie Wright.
She was truly scared of Flossie Wright!
Now feeling thoroughly exhausted, she could only admire Flossie Wright, with no intention of quibbling with her.
"There is a cave up ahead," Flossie Wright slowly stood up, her voice crisp and clear, "Go take a look."
"Okay!" Devina Millet habitually answered, but after getting up, she suddenly realized something and asked Flossie, "What about you?"
"Finding food."
Flossie replied indifferently.
After speaking, she left towards the direction she had pinpointed.
"Tsk," Devina Millet snorted disdainfully, watching her leave and unwittingly muttered, "Quite aloof."
No matter how much she objected, Devina Millet still followed Flossie Wright’s "directions," heading towards the place Flossie had mentioned.
Having been in the forest for so long, she had never come across a single cave.
If by following Flossie Wright, she could just stumble upon a cave—
Devina Millet pondered in her heart that if it really existed, she would willingly accept all the hardships she had suffered that day!
So, two minutes later, Devina Millet, standing in front of the cave, hesitated as to whether she should take back her earlier words.
A long moment.
A helpless sigh.
Alright, she was thoroughly convinced by Flossie Wright.
The resting places Flossie Wright chose were always near a river.
Where there was a river, there would be food.
And on the map, only the location of the river was marked clearly.
This made things much easier for her.
Every day, she set a distance to travel, how far she needed to walk, and how long it would take according to her pace. Even if she arrived ahead of time, she would not rashly continue forward.
She was lazy, finishing the daily assigned mission was enough for her.
After all, she had no intention of rushing to be the first to reach the end.
After casually catching two fish in the river and processing them with her military knife, Flossie Wright tore off two grass strands and threaded them together.
Afterward, she refilled her water bottle to the brim.
She retraced her steps back the way she came.
This time, Flossie Wright finally saw a reliable side of Devina Millet.
Inside the cave.
The cave was not spacious, but it was enough for the activity of Flossie Wright and Devina Millet.
Devina Millet had brought a pile of firewood inside and had started a campfire at the center.
"That was quick?"
Just as Devina Millet was thinking of resting properly, she noticed Flossie carrying two fish back and was immediately surprised, her eyes widening.
Good grief.
That was impressive.

In less than twenty minutes, she had caught two such plump river fish and brought them back.
She was infuriatingly cool.
Devina Millet herself didn’t realize that at this moment, her hostility towards Flossie Wright not only diminished but was also replaced with a sense of inexplicable admiration rising within her.
"Go gather some firewood."
Walking in, Flossie Wright looked at her calmly and continued giving orders in her composed tone.
