You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 299 Surviving In The Wild

At that thought, she looked at him with concern.

I’m not afraid of dying, but what will I do if you die?

Gu Mingchen had a bright future ahead of him. He came from a prestigious family and had won numerous accolades while serving the military. In just a few years, he could even assume the rank of commander-in-chief. But now, he was stuck here, just to save her.

He noticed Bai Rong deep in thought, and caressed her cheeks. “Don’t worry about it. The wolves are not always around. I’ll keep us safe.”

C’mon! Keep it together. Worrying would get us nowhere. ”Do you recognize this island?” she asked.

“I don’t. There are plenty of unaccounted islands like this out at sea. Also, we seem to have drifted too far. In the military, we typically choose the more accessible ones that have been properly surveyed and inspected for training. But look, there aren’t any footprints on this island.”

He reached for one of their nets and spilled the contents inside. Out came the pot, their kitchen knife, dagger, handgun, and a gun case.

Pointing at the gun, she asked expectantly, “Does it still work?” She felt much safer with a weapon by their side.

“Yes. If you’re worried, we can let it dry out under the sun. We only have twenty bullets for emergencies. The important thing is to find a place for shelter.” He handed the dagger to her and kept the rest for himself. Before leaving, he took a glance at the fish they had attempted to cook. It looked ready.

“Rong, can you dig a small pit here? Not too deep. Around ten centimeters. I’ll go collect some dried leaves.”

Before he could leave, she reached for his hands. “I’ll go with you.”

“That works too. I’ll feel safer this way.”

Before setting off, Gu Mingchen wrapped the fish with leaves and placed it into the pit Bai Rong had dug. He finished off by covering it with sand.

“Let’s go.”

She followed closely behind him.

As it was an uninhabited island, the trees and plants grew haphazardly, in no particular order. Even the plants looked enormous compared to the ones back home.

Mingchen had to cut down many leaves to clear their path while
