In the cave, the Rhodes Island operator was still unconscious, and she felt a little disappointed.
In fact, she had imagined this while on the road: she would return to the cave and find that Rupert was not there because she had woken up and chose to leave on her own.
In this way, on the one hand, the close contact between the two people was avoided, and she would not bring danger to the other party. On the other hand, the operators of Rhodes Island survived, and she could give an explanation to Kal'tsit.
But a hypothesis is just a hypothesis. Skadi knew very well that the other party's injuries were extremely serious and it was impossible for him to slip away quietly. She immediately adjusted her mentality and devoted herself to taking care of the patient.
When it comes to caring for the wounded, she also has experience. While past experiences left deep scars in her heart, they also taught her a lot, including how to take care of injured comrades.
However, she also knew that her past experience might not be very effective for this Lupo. In the past, she had taken care of her injured companions simply by meeting their needs and waiting for their injuries to heal naturally. It was so simple that it could be called crude.
Why are people on land so fragile? Alas, if Miss Rupert from Rhode Island really can't survive, there's nothing she can do. She has done her best.
This world is indeed balanced. People on land have the most superior and safest living environment, but they also have the most confused thoughts and the weakest bodies.
As Skadi was thinking, she opened the drink bottle. At this moment, she put the bottle mouth to her nose and took a sip.
It’s apple flavored, it must be delicious!
She couldn't help but take a sip. It tasted sour and sweet, and she had the urge to drink it all. She was also very thirsty and wanted to drink water, but she had to resist the temptation. Taking care of the wounded was more important.
Next, she poured the juice into Rupert's mouth little by little. After feeding him about half a bottle, he suddenly moved and tilted his head to one side.
He must have drunk enough, Skadi thought, and she picked up the bottle cap, ready to cover the juice and save it for the injured to use next time.
The lid was not completely screwed on. She looked at Rupert with a guilty conscience and remained silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, she opened the bottle cap, took a quick sip, and then quickly screwed the bottle shut, locking her guilt into the bottle.
She put the bottle next to Rupert, then raised her chin and looked at a corner on the ground in a thoughtful manner.
This posture was what she usually adopted in the pub. Whenever she did this, no strange people would come to disturb her. She could separate herself from the world in the crowd and enjoy the wonderful feeling of loneliness alone. This feeling of loneliness made her feel safe and secure.
If White Wolf was awake and knew what Miss Skadi was thinking, her first reaction would be to suspect that she was suffering from severe social phobia.
Skadi 'contemplated' for a while, and then returned to normal. However, after this period of 'contemplation', the self who 'drank' juice secretly before had been overwritten. She was now a serious bounty hunter.
However, it wasn't long before Skadi couldn't be serious anymore. It was very tiring to maintain a serious expression for a long time. Not only was it tiring, but it also made her look a little silly. She wanted to switch to the state when she was alone, but unfortunately she failed. Obviously, Rupert was still unconscious and would not cause any interference, but she just couldn't hum her little tune and fix her long hair freely.
Once the pleasure of being alone was destroyed, she felt a little bored. She began to find things to do unconsciously, such as using Rupert's small suitcase as a pillow under its owner's head; taking out a piece of beef jerky and putting it under his nose to see if he would react; secretly lifting Rupert's hair and comparing it with her own...
All these things were things she had never thought about in her daily life. She had rarely come into contact with strangers, and she did all these today purely out of boredom. Another very important point was that the other party was in a coma, so everything could be regarded as something only she knew, and if she didn't say it, it would have never happened.
A few hours later, Skadi had finished her little tricks and could not think of any new ones for the time being. When she looked at Rupert again, she actually found him particularly pleasing to the eye. She was very perceptive and noticed this, after all, she had always avoided strangers in the past.
This is a question worth pondering, but the clever Miss Killer Whale found the answer in just one minute. It must be that their hair colors are too similar! You know, she usually cares a lot about her hair.
She unconsciously used her fingertips to pick at the white wolf's hair, thinking:
It would be a real shame if this Rupert didn't survive.
There is a little blood on my hair, which needs to be cleaned up. This sight is really unbearable.
Where on earth had I seen her?
Judging from her complexion, she seems to be better than before. Does this mean that the situation is getting better?
Skadi touched the white wolf's forehead and it wasn't so hot anymore. She remembered that when she first brought Rupert back, his body felt as hot as fire.
It seems that people on land also have very strong vitality. She was excited for a moment, but soon became lonely, and a strange thought flashed through her mind.
If only this Rupert would wake up a little later.
When this thought came to her mind, she was shocked at first. However, after she calmed down, she vaguely understood why she had such a thought.
Although this Rupert is now unconscious and unable to communicate, the relationship between the two is very close, like friends; once the other wakes up, the distance between them in language will be shortened, but they will suddenly become strangers again.
Whenever she encountered such strange and aggressive thoughts, Skadi felt that she was as complicated as the people on land. Why did it become like this?
Was it because she came to the earth and was assimilated that she became no longer pure, or was it that her past self was just an appearance and she was not a pure person at all?
Volume 2: Chapter 84: Bounty Hunters in the Sea III
In the afternoon, seeing that Rupert was in good condition, Skadi went to look for things in the ruins without any worries.
This time her goal was very clear. She had no shortage of dry food, all she needed was water. Unfortunately, most of the water bottles were broken in the storm. She searched over and over again but only found six bottles, five of which were Ursus specialty drinks.
Although she didn't mind drinking this kind of thing, it was only for a few drinks in a bar.
In the past, after a busy day, she would always find a bar, sit down and slowly have a drink or two, to experience the feeling of relaxation and intoxication. She would not drink too much so that she would not have to worry about the impact on her actions. But as for drinking these alcoholic beverages as water, she had never tried it and did not plan to try it.
It would be a pity to throw it away. Maybe that Lupert was an Ursus. She had seen Ursus people drinking.
The Ursus men in the bounty hunter bar would simply pick up the bottle, bite off the cap, and then tilt their necks back. Others would only see their Adam's apple bouncing up and down with the sound of "dun, dun, dun". A bottle of wine would be gone, and then there might be a second bottle, or a third, until they passed out from drinking.
If Miss Rupert likes this, the remaining half bottle of apple juice will belong to me. Skadi was walking with the bottle of wine, thinking. She looked at the communicator and saw that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. She didn't know if Miss Rupert had woken up yet.
What if she wakes up? How to explain this situation?
Does she recognize me? Well, I have some impression of her. I must have seen her before, but I have forgotten now. What if she still remembers me...
When the time comes, if she says, "Skadi, it's you," how should I answer? I don't know her name, but she knows mine. If she knows that I don't know her name, it won't be good...
How can I think of so many things? Why do I have so many thoughts? After being on land for so long, have I become a land person? Thinking so much is so tiring! Why are my thoughts so simple when I am at sea? Not only thoughts, but life is also simple, as if it does not need the tools of thinking.
Now, I have more thoughts and more worries. Am I assimilated by the land? But even though the thinking process is distressing, I don’t reject it. Sometimes I feel fortunate because I can see more.
Which is better, a simple sky or a complex world?
She stood at the entrance of the cave, hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to go in.
Miss Rupert was still sleeping, and Skadi breathed a sigh of relief. She laid out the newly brought resources on the ground in order, and then checked her condition again.
She put her palm on the other person's forehead to feel it. He didn't have a fever again and his breathing sounded even. The situation was very good.
Hey, water, why is the water gone?
She was surprised to find that the half bottle of juice next to Rupert was gone.
The empty bottle fell to the ground, the bottle cap lay on the side, and there was no sign of other living creatures in the cave. It seemed that there was only one answer.
During the time she was away, Rupert woke up once, drank the juice, and then lay down again, perhaps fainting again.
Hmm, that’s not right. There’s also a faint burnt smell in the air?
Skadi quickly checked the dry food on the other side of Miss Rupert's body. Sure enough, the matsutake bread was gone!
From this, we can infer that within more than an hour of her absence, Miss Rupert woke up, drank the drink, ate the matsutake bread, and then fainted again.
This also means that the other party has passed the critical period, and the injuries on his body are not as serious as expected, and he may wake up again at any time!
Skadi nervously took a few steps back and thought anxiously for a while. She didn't know what idea she came up with, but she quickly calmed down.
Wearing her uniquely shaped blue hat, she sat down against the stone wall, tilted her head slightly downward, supported her chin with her right hand, and pulled the brim of her hat down to cover her eyes in the shadow. Just like that, she fell asleep in just a few minutes.
There was no movement in the cave for a long time. The white wolf finally couldn't help it and quietly opened her eyes. She used her eyes to confirm that the person who rescued her had started taking a nap.
Huh, she let out a long sigh, endured the pain, and sat up with difficulty.
In fact, Skadi’s idea was correct, but unfortunately he was only half right.
Bai Lang did wake up during the time she was away and ate something, but she did not faint again afterwards. She was actually pretending to be asleep.
Just an hour ago, White Wolf woke up and felt thirsty and hungry. There were drinks and food beside her, so she drank them immediately. While eating, she gradually figured out the situation.
She was rescued. Although such a thing in the center of a natural disaster is simply a fantasy, it really happened. So the question is, who rescued her? Why did he appear here? Is there any intention?
Although it was extremely impolite to use this kind of thinking to doubt her savior, the human safety needs still drove her to make such a decision: pretend to faint first and secretly observe the situation.
Now that the person who rescued her had fallen asleep, she finally got her chance.
The situation was different from what was expected. Bailang originally thought that other surviving passengers had saved her, but this person was definitely not one of the passengers.
Firstly, the sword that was as tall as a person could not be explained. Secondly, there was a special aura of being close yet distant emanating from the other party. Although the distance was very close, it gave people a feeling of being far away and out of reach.
This is a very special mysterious person.
However, has this great sword been seen somewhere before? Why does it look familiar? Hey, not only the great sword, but this person seems to have some impression, have I seen him before? Unfortunately, the brim of the other person's hat is too low, and Bai Lang can't see her face, so she can't identify her for the time being. However, based on this familiarity, she has already labeled the other person as trustworthy.
While the mysterious man was taking a nap, White Wolf also checked her body. Her thick windbreaker was already tattered, but it also blocked most of the Originium particles in the storm for her. The scratches on her body were all minor injuries, and now they have scabbed over. If she rested, she would be healed in no time.
The head was the least injured because it was protected by a soft suitcase. She remembered that the back of her head was hit by a hard object once, but fortunately there was no bleeding. It was probably hit by some kind of smooth stone. There was also a wound on her forehead, and it bled. This was left when she used a headbutt to push the stone away last night.
Compared with the above situations, the real big problem is the falls from the sky. My left arm and right leg are no longer usable. They are limp and I can't exert any strength. I don't know how serious the condition is.
Then she felt weak all over and had a headache. She knew that she had a high fever before and now she had to replenish her nutrition, so she once again set her sights on the dry food beside her.
Volume 2: Chapter 85: Bounty Hunter in the Sea IV
What White Wolf didn't know was that the mysterious man in the cave had chosen the same trick as her for other reasons - pretending to sleep.
In the shadow of the hat brim, under the long eyelashes, a pair of red pupils were secretly observing her.
This person is just like me, Skadi thought, the kind of person who doesn't want to affect others. At this moment, she saw Miss Rupert gasping in pain when she moved, but she still restrained herself from making any sound, probably because she was worried about 'waking her up'.
She watched her slowly pick up the package of beef jerky, and after resting for a while, she began to tear the package with her teeth. She failed to tear it open the first time, and the thing fell on her leg. Although it looked minor, Miss Rupert shivered in pain.
Skadi almost couldn't help but go over to help, but she restrained herself at the last moment. If she went over suddenly, the other party would guess that she was pretending to sleep, which would not work. She couldn't explain why she was pretending to sleep.
She continued to watch Miss Rupert struggle with the beef jerky from under her hat brim. The process was undoubtedly tortuous, because the packaging of the beef jerky was relatively hard, and Miss Rupert's right hand was not flexible. But hard work pays off, and after many failures, the dawn of victory finally arrived.
Miss Rupert tore open the package and put the beef jerky in her mouth!
But what happened next was beyond Skadi's expectations. Miss Rupert was holding the dried meat in her mouth, and instead of showing any joy, she looked as sad as if she was about to cry. She saw her mouth move, and then she reluctantly put the dried meat back into the bag, drooping her head, looking like she had lost all hope in life.
What happened? Wasn't it delicious? She had tasted this jerky before. It was of high quality and delicious. She had to use a lot of effort to resist eating it. She had saved it for him to replenish his body. She really didn't expect the result now.
This idea was quickly rejected because Miss Rupert picked up the jerky along with the packaging bag, sniffed it, and glanced in her direction, probably to see if she was awake. Of course she wasn't awake, she was sleeping soundly.
After making sure that no one was watching, Miss Rupert licked the fragrant jerky with her tongue in a very ungentlemanly manner, then squinted her eyes with a look of satisfaction.
Skadi knew why the other party didn't eat it directly. It was simple: he couldn't bite it. This guy was obviously very greedy, but too weak to bite it, so this puzzling situation occurred. Combined with his pale face and satisfied expression, she felt that this scene was both funny and distressing.
As colleagues of Rhodes Island (Skadi thought of them as colleagues of Rhodes Island at this time), Skadi believed it was necessary to lend a helping hand, so she felt that she should wake up.
Her hands naturally slid away and no longer provided support, and her head suddenly stopped and she woke up all of a sudden.
When the noise reached White Wolf's ears, she ignored the pain and hurriedly made a gesture as if she had just opened a package. This was a subconscious behavior in order to cover up something that had already happened.
But she didn't know that her previous behavior had been seen by Skadi, and at this moment Skadi seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and suddenly understood the mystery of the other party's actions, and was completely sure that she understood all of Miss Rupert's actions.
This is an indescribable wonderful feeling. At that moment, it was like an electric current passing through her brain. She suddenly understood this person, as if she were another dimension looking at him from a different level. This understanding brought a kind of spiritual intimacy. Although the two were still strangers and their personalities and habits might be very different, this intimacy and the surprise it brought were absolute.
"You're awake, White Wolf, how do you feel?"
The moment she opened her mouth, she suddenly thought of this name and said it out smoothly. Her memory came back from this moment, and she remembered what happened in Rhodes Island. Miss White Wolf once borrowed her room for a night. Later, when she left Rhodes Island to perform a mission, Kal'tsit asked her to take care of White Wolf if she saw her in Ursus. She agreed casually at the time, but in fact, she didn't know who White Wolf was at that time, and she didn't think that the two would really meet.
The people and things on land are so complicated and wonderful. This novel experience is simply, simply...
Skadi didn't know how to describe her delicate mental state at the moment, but overall it was happy and positive, in sharp contrast to her gloomy past.
……
Bai Lang was very embarrassed. She couldn't remember who this girl with red eyes and white hair was. She only knew that she might know her, but she couldn't remember her name.
But the terrible thing is that the other party knew her and called out her name naturally. This is really incredible. Was she confused by the natural disaster and forgot the important person?
Skadi's next words deepened her judgment. The red-eyed girl was immersed in a strange psychological activity. She explained in a rather eager tone: "I passed by here while on a mission and unexpectedly saw you injured and fainted, so I quickly brought you here. How are you now?"
Wow, this tone, it must be someone I know, but why can't I remember him? Bai Lang finally realized something extremely serious, he might have lost his memory!
At the same time, she completed a scientific analysis of her amnesia in an instant. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. It seems that amnesia is not exactly like the protagonist in a TV series who forgets everything first and then suddenly wakes up after being stimulated. Her amnesia should be partial, that is, she only lost a certain piece of memory and retained most of it.
Although her brain told her that she had not lost her memory and remembered everything, she still believed that she had lost her memory, because since she had lost her memory, her brain was in a state of ignorance. Since it was ignorant, it would inevitably draw wrong conclusions. The true situation must be tested in practice.
The practical experience is right in front of her, the other party's attitude is friendly, and he seems to be quite familiar with her, so the two must have been good friends before. Memories can be lost, but friendship as an objective fact is unaffected and exists!
When she thought of this, she immediately gave her best friend and savior the warmest smile: "I was in a very bad state before, and I almost died, but I feel relieved with you here."
However, these words unexpectedly aroused Skadi's bad memories. She couldn't help but put on a sad tone: "Don't say that. I'm not trustworthy. I will only bring disaster to others."
"But you just saved me!" Bai Lang asked doubtfully. She was a little unsure of what her 'good friend' was thinking. "Besides, you are not allowed to leave me alone in my current state."
Skadi stared at the white wolf blankly for a while, then nodded with a strange expression.
Volume 2: Chapter 86: Bounty Hunters in the Sea V
As night fell, Skadi arranged the dry firewood she had collected in advance and lit a bonfire in the cave.
Bai Lang sat comfortably on the ground, took out the soft bread that her "friend" had found for her, and prepared to eat. After an afternoon of rest, her injuries had improved again, and she could barely move on her own, but she still couldn't stand up.
She planned to take this opportunity to learn some information from her 'friend' to see if it could stimulate her to recover her memory. However, after eating a few bites of the bread, she saw her 'friend' leave the campfire and hide in the shadows alone.
The bread in my hand suddenly lost its fragrance.
