Ye Qing quietly looked at Zhao Ling. Under the illumination of the fire, she was like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world, demure and beautiful.
He didn't disturb her because he knew that this was a huge blow to her. At the same time, it was also an extremely difficult choice.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qing had already added three rounds of firewood to the fire. Just as he was about to add a fourth round, Zhao Ling finally spoke.
"Ye Qing, do you think…we will be trapped here forever?”
Her tone was a little sad and her expression was a little lonely. It was as if something that she had always insisted on was suddenly gone.
Ye Qing couldn't bear it and comforted him,""Don't think too much. I was just casually saying that.”
"You don't have to comfort me. Really, I know that there's something wrong with this island…And you suddenly asked me this question tonight, so you must have made a decision, right?”
" This..." Ye Qing couldn't help but praise this woman in his heart. She knew what he was thinking just by asking a question."It's not a decision. I just think that we should consider our next choice.”
"What do you think?" Zhao Ling smiled indifferently.”
Although her smile was very beautiful, if there was a hint of despair in her smile, it would be especially dazzling.
Ye Qing lowered his head to look at the burning flames, not looking at her smile, and said,""Our survival on this island is no longer a problem. It's not difficult to just survive, but I'm thinking, should we live better…"
"But this involves a problem. I can't be sure if it's safe around here, so we have to move away from here. Moreover, staying in the cave is not a solution. As you can see, we've been searching for so long, but we still haven't found a suitable place. If we move away, we'll have to deviate from the place where we came ashore. This will increase the difficulty of the search and rescue. It's very likely that the search and rescue team will come to this place without finding us…"
"What do you think?" Zhao Ling interrupted Ye Qing's words and looked at him with wide eyes.
Ye Qing said," Of course, I want to get out as soon as possible, but this island gives people a mysterious feeling. I'm not sure if the search and rescue team can find this place, but the threat we're facing now is real, so I plan to go out tomorrow to see if there's a suitable place to live. Other than that, I also want to live better on this island. Even if the search and rescue team doesn't find me in the end, I want to live here as well as outside.”
"This is indeed a crucial question.”Zhao Ling said and then fell into deep thought again.
In fact, she understood what Ye Qing meant. Both of them had come ashore nearby, which meant that when the plane crashed, it was facing the coastline here. If the rescue team really came, the possibility of them coming here was very high.
If they moved away, it would increase the difficulty of the search. Moreover, no one knew how big the island was, and the search and rescue time would be extended again. By the time the search and rescue team found them, it might have been months or even years.
Thinking about it this way, staying where they were was the wisest choice.
However, the problem was that the thatched cottage behind the cliff meant that there were other people on the island. She did not know if they were friends or enemies. That night, Ye Qing lit a bonfire to lead the way for her, which had already exposed this place. Perhaps enemies would come to harm them at any time.
This threat was real and powerful. No one knew who the other party was and how many there were. This was the most disturbing thing.
On one hand, it was the hope of getting out. On the other hand, it was the problem of his own safety.
Choosing one meant that one's focus on the other had to be reduced. This was indeed quite torturous.
After thinking for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Ling spoke again,"If we want to wait for the rescue team, we must first confirm that we can survive until then, right?”
When Ye Qing heard this, he heaved a long sigh of relief. He knew that Zhao Ling had already made her choice.
" Don't worry," he said with a smile." Before we leave, I'll leave some marks on the beach to let the rescue team know that we're on this island. This way, it'll be more convenient for them to search and rescue."”
"Why do you say you did it? It should be us together." Zhao Ling said.
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
The night was silent.
The next morning, Ye Qing sent Little Blue out. In any case, everything it saw would appear in his mind. It was better to let it help him find a suitable place to live.
After that, he went into the forest to pick some of the herbs from yesterday to treat the black panther. After that, he called Zhao Ling over to the edge of the forest.
Even if they were to leave, they still had to make some preparations here. The bonfire last time was obviously not big enough. This time, Ye Qing not only planned to build a bigger bonfire, but also more. It would be best if it could form a distress signal.
This way, it would be easier for the rescue team to find them.
If there really was a rescue team, he could light a bonfire when they arrived. That way, even if he was far away, he could see them and meet them.
To do all this, the workload was not small. If Ye Qing wanted to complete it alone, it would take at least a few days. He could only ask Zhao Ling for help.
The two of them worked all day and finally built five bonfires on the beach, but it was far from enough.
Ye Qing's goal was to pile up all over the beach.
In the evening, Little Blue returned. The places it had explored that day were more than five times that of Ye Qing and the others. There were indeed many cliffs and caves, but none of them were satisfactory to Ye Qing.
Either the cliff was too low and was easily flooded by seawater, or the cliff was too steep and people could not climb up at all.
Ye Qing was a little disappointed with this result, but he was not discouraged. He had only searched the side where he had come ashore. Zhao Ling had not searched yet. In the past, he was worried about the people on the fighter plane. Now that he had Little Blue, the " reconnaissance plane," he was not worried about anything. He planned to let Little Blue search that side tomorrow.
What was worth mentioning was that the black panther seemed to be recovering quite well. It had only been a day, but it already looked a little energetic, and its injuries had recovered quite a bit.
In fact, this was all thanks to Ye Qing's mercy back then. Although he had almost beaten this fellow half to death, it was still going to become his pet in the end. He did not even lay his hands on the most important things. At most, he had only caused it to suffer some superficial injuries. If it was more serious, it would only cause some internal injuries.
After resting for a day, he should have slowed down a little. At this speed, he estimated that he would be able to walk normally in about two days.
Ever since he discussed with Zhao Ling about moving out, everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner. Ye Qing felt a little gratified.
