Chapter 99


    The South Pole?!


    Ivy’s heart sank with a thud.


    It was uncertain whether or not his explorer friend would survive, let alonee and save them.


    That was just wishful thinking!


    So, after everything was said and done, there was still no hope?


    Ivy’s face turned pale.


    Vince went off on his own and took a lighter from his bag before starting to boil water.


    “Then, can you make contact with the outside world?”


    Vince gave her a genuine look that dashed all of her hopes.


    “No.”


    “Have you considered how you’re going to leave this ce?”


    “Yes, I have. I thought a fool woulde here so that they could bring me along with them when


    someone came to rescue her. In any case, I’m almost finished with the information I’m looking for.”


    Ivy was rendered speechless.


    ‘Does he think I’m a fool?!’ This realization utterly shattered her joy.


    What a catastrophe!


    Vince expertly distilled the seawater, then filtered the already-distilled seawater.


    After several repetitions of this distition process, he finally lowered his bead to taste it. He took a


    sip before passing the rest to Ivy.


    “Drink a lot! You haven’t had any water in a few days, haven’t you?”


    Ivy epted it. “I haven’t had anything to drink since I arrived.”


    She still remembered the flight attendant handing her a ss of rose as thest thing she drank


    before arriving here.


    Ivy drank the distilled water in a few gulps and looked shyly at Vince.


    “There’s no more,” Vince said


    “Next time,” she sighed sheepishly.


    It was because she only brought a small amount of seawater back! After distition, there wasn’t


    much left!


    “Have you had enough?” Ivy could tell he didn’t drink much.


    Vince smiled as he raised his eyebrows at her. “Even in the absence of freshwater and tools,


    explorers like us can survive.”


    Urine, in extreme cases, could be a lifesaver.


    However, based on Ivy’s delicate appearance, it appeared that she would rather die than rely on


    that to sustain her life.


    “Have you been posing as an indigenous person the entire time you’ve been here?”


    Ivy couldn’t help but inquire. She couldn’t understand why those indigenous people wanted to roast


    her but not Vince.


    Vince nodded as he saw through her thoughts. “You can only be one of them if you don’t want to be


    their enemy. They’re not particrly bright, so they can’t tell the difference.”


    Ivy nodded. ‘If only I’d met him sooner.’ She was deeply disappointed that they had met sote!


    The lingering fear in Ivy’s chest rose again when she remembered the scene of her being roasted


    alive. She didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened if the rainstorm hadn’te at the


    right time. She may have turned into a pile of ashes by this point.


    Ivy’s expression was perplexed and perplexed. “Do you understand why they wanted to roast me?”


    “It’s most likely a sacrifice. In a journal published jointly by anthropologists from Europe and Africa, I


    read that certain primitive tribes would usually offer strange and unfamiliar things to the heavens.


    They will receive blessings if they send you to heaven in this manner. The ritual makes use of fire


    as a guide.


    They’ll then serve you their best food. When you eat the food, it means you’ll bless them with more


    food in the future. However, if it fails halfway through, it must immediately stop. That’s why I took


    you and ran when it started raining.”


    Ivy pressed her lips together. It sounded simr to what Simba had said. ‘Ignore it. I shouldn’t think


    about such depressing things.’


    This terrifying experience had been one too many in her life! Her initially gloomy disposition


    improved slightly. This was probably the most at ease she’d felt in a long time. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    She smiled and realized she had forgotten something important. “Is this ind on the maps?” she


    inquired, slightly baffled.


    If something were to happen to her, her family would not stay put.


    If they couldn’t find her in the sea where the ne crashed, they would undoubtedly broaden their


    search.


    However, it had been days, and there had been no sign of anyoneing to her aid.


    It was as if the entire world had forgotten about her.


    Ivy couldn’t help but wonder if this ce was real.


    As he sighed, Vince’s face became solemn.


    “Yes, but...”


    “But?”


    “But this location is designated as an internationally prohibited zone. This is because the


    surrounding seas, hundreds of nautical miles from the ind, are frequently infested with pirates. It


    would cause international disputes and massive losses regardless of which country the ships


    passed through. The pirates even used special instruments to block this location from being visible


    on the satellite map.”


    Ivy was rendered speechless. It turned out that her situation could deteriorate further. She felt as if a


    massive boulder hadnded on her heart. It was so heavy that she couldn’t breathe. Every time she


    thought she had a chance of survival, reality smacked her in the face.


    “In other words, we can’t leave this ce and must stay here?”


    Rescue helicopters and ships would note here, and they couldn’t expect a band of pirates to go


    to their aid. They might as well have been sacrificed earlier by those indigenous people.


    Vince noticed that the mood was bing a little gloomy.


    He smiled at her with ease. “Don’t worry. You’re not alone.”
