"Let’s rest for two minutes."
This time, Devina Millet compromised and held up two fingers.
She was simply too tired.
Could she not have just that brief rest?
Glancing at her indifferently, Flossie Wright didn’t force her to keep going, but her aura suddenly grew a few degrees colder.
A second ago, when she hadn’t heard Flossie pushing her, Devina Millet had sighed with relief, but the next moment, she felt Flossie’s increasingly aloof aura.
Immediately, she understood something.
Knocking her head, Devina Millet helplessly climbed up from the ground.
Gathered firewood obediently for her.
Flossie scanned the silhouette of her dragging her fatigued body away.
But she didn’t hold her back.
After several consecutive days of rain, even the firewood that was brought back was already soaked through, and if they didn’t allow time for it to dry, tonight she and Devina Millet would probably have to endure hunger and cold.
Looking at the fish in her hand and then at the campfire, Flossie couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.
Dealing with food—
Was such a pain.
Taking out two bamboo sticks she had whittled on the road, Flossie skewered the fish and methodically began grilling it over the fire.
"I’m back."
When Flossie’s grilled fish was nearly done, Devina Millet finally dragged a large bundle of damp firewood into the cave entrance with difficulty.
By this time, the sky was nearly pitch black.
She, like the firewood, was soaking wet, all of her clothes dripping with water.
Shivering with cold.
So, just as she flung the firewood into the cave, Devina Millet rushed toward the campfire.

Flossie was very capable, making the originally small campfire blaze intensely.
"Take off your clothes."
Having just seasoned the fish with salt, Flossie glanced at Devina Millet hurrying towards the fire and spoke in a cold, indifferent tone.
The moment Devina Millet’s hands came close to the flames and she heard Flossie’s words, she froze on the spot.
"What do you mean?"
Frowning, Devina Millet’s expression was quite unfriendly.
If Flossie had been a man, that one sentence would have been enough to start a fight with her.
Flossie slightly furrowed her brow.
Her gaze on Devina Millet was like looking at an idiot.
A moment later, Devina Millet took in the surroundings and suddenly realized something.
Flossie had found several branches with twigs, had already taken off her raincoat, and one military jacket was draped over the branch beside her right hand.
The vigorous flames and scorching temperature made the drenched coat gradually steam.
Devina Millet had an epiphany.
Opening her mouth, Devina Millet squeezed out two words.
Without any hesitation, she then took off her clothes and jacket.
Though Flossie’s clothes were slightly wet thanks to the protection of the raincoat, she wasn’t as disheveled as Devina Millet.
Having removed her jacket, Devina Millet wrung out the water from it before putting it over the branch to dry.
"Can we eat now?"
After doing all this, Devina Millet looked at the two partially charred fishes and couldn’t help but ask Flossie.
Flossie replied with an indifferent tone.
Then, she took one fish and brought it to her lips, slowly starting to eat.
Devina Millet, starving, didn’t hesitate and immediately took the other fish.
She took a bite!
After chewing twice, Devina Millet’s face gradually began to change.
