She looked at Jasper worriedly.


    She was not afraid of death, but thest thing she wanted was for Jasper to die.


    He was a young general with outstanding battle achievements and a powerful background. He could even be a president in a few years. It would be such a shame for him to be wolf’s food in the wilderness, all because he wanted to save her.


    Jasper saw Ste’s worried look and gently rubbed her cheek.


    “Don’t worry. Wolves don’te here every day. We won’t get into any trouble. Trust me.” Jasper Milton promised.


    Ste Grace nodded. It was useless for her to worry. “Do you know where this ind is?”


    “I don’t know. There are many inds on the sea, and there are also many uninhabited inds, especially in the deep sea. Ordinary people won’te here. Even as a military base, the government would usually choose to use a ce with geographical convenience, usually some ce where thends have been surveyed and tested. I’ve noticed that there are no footprints on the beach here.” Jasper looked around, picked up one of the bags, and poured out the contents of the pot.


    There was a kitchen knife, a dagger, a pistol and a clip in the pot.


    “Can your pistol still be used?” Ste asked while looking at Jasper with hope.


    If they had guns, she would feel much safer.


    “It’s still usable. If you’re afraid that it can’t be used, you can just dry it. We have twenty bullets, so we have to use them sparingly. What we have to do now is to find a safe ce to sleep.” Jasper threw the dagger to Ste, taking the gun and the kitchen knife by himself. When he was about to leave, he nced at the dried fish soaked in water. After giving it a whiff, he decided that they could still be eaten.


    “Ste, dig a pit here. It doesn’t have to be too deep, maybe about ten centimetres deep. I’ll pick some leaves,” Jasper said.


    Ste held his hand and said, “I’ll go with you.”


    “That’s fine too.” Jasper wrapped the fish up with fourrge leaves.


    After Ste dug the pit, Jasper put the fish in and then covered it with sand.


    “Let’s go.”


    Ste followed Jasper into the forest.


    Because it was a no-man’s area, the trees grew wildly and the canopy was covered in thick foliage.


    Jasper hacked through the vegetation as he slowly moved forward.


    Ste helped him the best she could, dealing with the branches that hadn’t been cut off properly.


    Jasper was able to clear a one-meter-wide and ten-meter-long space by hacking the trees there, and he stopped to look at a different tree.


    “What’s wrong?” Ste asked in confusion.


    He smirked. “Even if we don’t have a pistol, we won’t have to be afraid of wild beasts anymore.”


    “Why?”


    “This tree is called Antiaris Toxicaria Lesch. I remember reading that this tree producestex could be made into a kind of poison that can cause muscle spasms and cardiac arrested. Tomorrow, we’ll make some bows and arrows and cover them in this poison. My archery skills are the best in my military region,” Jasper said confidently.


    Ste smiled slightly and said, “I have a feeling that we can live in the deep mountains and forests for the rest of our lives.”


    Jasper scratched Ste’s nose. “If you identally get poisoned by it, the grass under it can be used to eliminate the poison.”


    Ste sighed and said, “Nature really does mutually reinforce and neutralize each other.”


    Jasper nced around and pointed to one of the big trees. “Let’s set our ce up on this tree.”


    Ste looked up and saw that the branches and leaves of the tree were a little too dense. “Will there be snakes on it?”


    “Snakes only slither up trees to find food, and they’re very timid, so they won’t attack unless threatened. As long as we handle it well, they shouldn’t bother us.” Jasper exined.


    He quickly climbed up the trunk. His body was strong and his speed was fast.


    Ste saw that he was chopping the extra branches.N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    She could not help but see that there was a dead nt not far away. There was a lot of fiber. She thought of tearing it into threads and making into a rope. She proceeded to cut them down.


    An hourter, Jasper had already cut off the remaining branches of the two trees which were next to each other and jumped down from the tree.


    Ste looked at the tree and said, “Will it be too high? It doesn’t look too stable. I… I don’t know how to climb a tree.”


    “Don’t worry. I’ll make anotherdder. When thedder is ready, I’ll tear off the bark. The tree without the bark will be smoother, and the beasts won’t be able to climb up.” Jasper exined.


    “Are we going to move the wooden board here now?” Ste asked.


    “Yes.” He took her hand and led her away.


    Ste could feel that his rough palm was burning hot and his body was warm.


    She hoped that a boat would pass by and rescue them.


    They moved the wooden board under the tree and broke it apart.


    Jasper chose eight big branches, and Ste helped to clean up the side branches.


    The two trees he chose were facing each other. There were five other branches, but they weren’t at the same height.


    Jasper tied the eight big branches onto the five big branches to form a bnced surface.


    Ste thought it was amazing. “You should be a construction master.”


    “When we were on missionst time, we built such simple beds in the forest. There was nothing else to make it morefortable. We were lucky enough to have a wooden board, so this bed should be morefortable,” Jasper said with a smile.


    Ste had a strange feeling when she thought that she would sleep with him on the same bed tonight. She didn’t have this kind of feeling when they were floating on the sea.


    She lowered her head and continued to make the ropes.


    Jasper jumped down from the tree and tied the middle of the wooden bed with ropes.


    “What’s wrong?” Ste asked questioningly.


    “You won’t be able to lift this wooden boardter. I’ll pull it up,” exined Jasper.


    Ste nodded.


    The position that Jasper chose was too high. it was around three metres off the ground, and she was only 165 centimetres tall. The width of the bed board was 1. 6 meters long, and 1. 8 meters wide. She had to raise it to her head, and she probably wouldn’t have enough strength to aplish that.


    Jasper climbed up first.


    Ste used all of her strength. Jasper pulled the rope and finally seeded in heaving the first piece of wooden board onto the frame and securing it properly. It was tilted at a 25 degrees angle.


    Jasper jumped down from the tree and looked at the time. It was already twenty minutes past twelve o’clock in the afternoon.


    “Are you hungry?” Jasper asked.


    Ste nodded. Her stomach had been growling since an hour ago.


    “The fish we prepared just now should be almost ready. Let’s go.” Jasper said.


    Ste looked at the beach with panic in her eyes. She pointed to it and asked, “What’s that ck thing over there?”


    Jasper followed Ste’s line of sight and looked over. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. “We’re lucky, Ste. In such a short time, the heavens above have given us the gift of a wild boar.”


    Jasper ran over joyfully.


    “Be careful,” Ste said worriedly.


    Jasper ran over and saw that the wild boar was eating their fish. When it heard Jasper approaching, it quickly turned around.


    Jasper took the opportunity to shoot.He aimed at its head and pulled the trigger.


    The wild boar staggered, then fell to the ground and stopped moving.


    Ste looked at the wild boar on the ground. Although she had eaten pork, she had never killed a pig before.


    “Do you know how to kill pigs?” Ste asked Jasper.


    Jasper turned to Ste, who was next to her. He had never killed pigs before, but judging by her reaction, Ste hadn’t either, so it seemed that it would fall to him to kill the pig.
