Chapter 268 He Went to the South
Pole for an Expedition The south Pole?! Nicole’s heart sank fiercely.
It was not certain If that explorer friend “of his would survive or not, let alone” expect him to come and save them.
That was just wishful thinking! “SO, when a.iiwas said and done, there was” still no hope? Nicole turned pale.
Nathaniel did his own thing and took out a lighter from his bag beforebegJnnlng to boil water.
“”” Then…Can you contact the outside” “world?” Nath aniel gave her a sincere look that dlspell<‘ll all her hope•.
“”” No.u” “”” Haven’!you thought about how to leave” “this place?!”
“I have.I thought tha1a fool would come” “here so That when someone comes to 10her rescue,! they can lake me along as well!In any case, I’m almost done with the content I’m looking for .”
Nicole was speechless. ‘Is he saying 1hat I’m a fool?!’ This knowledge completely dispelled her joy. What a tragedy! “Nathaniel skillfully distilled the seawater,” “then proceeded to distill the already distilled seawater.
After repeating this process or distillation several times, he finally! owe. red his bead to 1aste it. He” took a sip and handed 1he rest to Nicole. “11 Drink u,>! You haven’t had water for” “several days, right? 11”
“Nicole look i.”I even ‘l had anything 10” “drink since coming hl!rc…” She still remembered that the last thing she drank before coming here was a glass of rose handed to her by the Ought attendant.
Nicole chugged the distilled water in a few gulps and looked at Nathaniel bashfully. “11’fhere’s no more…”” She said sheepishly.”
“”” Next time then…11” It was because she only brought a small amount of seawater back! Not much was left after distillation! “11Did you have enough?” Nicole clearly saw that he did not drink much. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Nathaniel looked at later with raised “eyebrows and sn1tled. 11For explorers like us, we can still live In theabsen<‘e of freshwater and tools. “”” “Jn extreme conditions, even urine could” be a lifesaver.
“However, looking at Nicole’sdelicate” “appearance, It seemed like she would rather die than rely on that to preserve” her life.
“”” Have you been disguising yourself as an” “indigenous person the entire time you’re here?,” Nicole could not help but ask.
She did not understand why those indigenous people wanted to roast her but did not do the same to Nathaniel. Nathaniel saw through her thoughts and nodded. “”” If you don’t want to be their enemy, you” can only be one of them.
They’re not too “intelligent, so they can’t really tell the difference.”
”” Nicolenodded .’If only I met him earlier…’ She truly regretted that they mel so late! When Nicole remembered the scene of “her being roasted alive, the lingering fear” in her chest rose again.
She did not dare to think what would happen I [not for the timely rainstorm. she might have turned into a pile of ashes by now…
Nicole’sexpression was puzzled and confused. “”” Then do you know why they wanted to” roast me?Its probably a sacrifice.
I once read in a journal jointly published by some anthropologists from Europe and Africa that certain primitive tribes would “usually o[[er up strange and unfamiliar things lo The heavens.’
that way, they’ll gel blessings I[ they send you to heaven.
The ritual uses fire as a guide. Then, they” 11give you their ber food. When you eat “the food, It means that you’ll bless them” “with more food later.IJUI If It falls halfway through, they have to stop” Immediately.
That‘s why I took you and ran once it rained…11 Nicole pursed her lips. Itwas similar to what Tigger said. ‘Forget It…I should.’t think about such unhappy thoughts…’
This horrifying experience was one too many in her lifetime! Her originally gloomy mood improved slightly.Thiswas probably the most relaxed moment she had in the past few days.
She smiled and suddenly remembered something important. She asked in slight “confusion, “Is this island on the maps?””” “Logically s1>e•klng, her family would not” stay put If something happened to her.
LF the would 1101 find her In the sea where “the plane crashed, U1ey would” unquestionably expa11d the search scope. “However, it had been so many days, yet” there was not a single sign of someone coming to her rescue.
It was as if she was forgotten by the whole world. Nicole could not help but wonder if this place truly existed.
Nathaniel’s expression was somewhat heavy asbe sighed. “ult is, but…11” “cut what?””” “Nathaniel pondered and said, “”But this” place is listed as an international forbidden z.one.
That is because the “surrounding seas hundreds of nautical miles from this island are often infested with pirates. No matter which count ry’s ships pass by, h would cause international disputes and huge losses.”
The pirates even blocked this place from the satellite map with special Instruments “””” Nkole was complete!I speechless. It turned out that her situation could get worse…
She felt like a huge boulder fell on her heart. It was so heavy that she found it hard to breathe. Every day she felt that there was a “chance of survival, really smashed head ” first Into her.
“0 In other words, we can’t leave this place” and have t.o continue staying here…?u The rescue helicopters and ships would “not search here, and they certainly could not exp<.•<:t a group of pirates to rescue them either.’!’ hey might as well be” offered up as a sacrifice by those lndlgenou• people earlier… Natha Niel sensed that the atmosphere was b«coming a little gloomy. He gave her a relaxed smile.
“”” Don’tworry, you’re not alone.”””
