Wearing a bulletproof vest, a helmet, a dagger at his waist, and a submachine gun in his hand, Su Chen instantly felt a lot safer.
Although he was very clear that with such equipment, it would be meaningless to casually encounter a demon beast, at least it brought him some psychological comfort.
Su Chen turned on the life detection radar and began to search for the location of Jin Mudan and Taotao.
One Four
Judging from the situation before, the diameter of this island should be about fifty kilometers, which wasn't too big. If Su Chen's strength was still there, a Heart Network could cover the entire island, but now … he could only see if the detection radar was good enough.
The detection range of the radar was about ten kilometers. Su Chen searched for a while and soon found signs of life three kilometers away from his seven o 'clock.
Although it was dangerous, Su Chen still decided to go and take a look.
The three kilometers distance could be covered in an instant, but now Su Chen could only honestly walk through the forest, jumping up and down. It took him more than half an hour to reach his destination.
"Mudan!"
Su Chen saw the figure lying in the grass and immediately showed a happy expression. It was really Jin Mudan.
Su Chen hurried over and saw that Jin Mudan's clothes were ragged, and there were many scars on her body from rolling on the ground. She was still unconscious.
Su Chen carried her to a tree and carefully examined her.
Fortunately, her injuries weren't too serious.
Su Chen heard the sound of flowing water nearby, so he went to fetch some water to help Jin Mudan clean her scars. Perhaps stimulated by the ice water, Jin Mudan gradually woke up.
"Master … where is this?"
Jin Mudan sat up and covered her head. Then she was surprised to find that she had completely lost her cultivation.
"Don't panic. This island is a bit strange. Our strength may have been sealed," Su Chen said.
Only then did Jin Mudan calm down.
After resting for a while, the two decided to look for Taotao.
But even when night fell, there was still no sign of Taotao.
Moreover, as night fell, the visibility in the forest became extremely low. Although Su Chen had bought a night vision device from the mall, considering that it was too dangerous to move around at night, he still paused his search and looked for a shelter nearby.
Su Chen found a place sandwiched between two stone walls. It was relatively dry, but it was a special time, so he could only make do with it.
After laying down a layer of moisture-proof mattress, Su Chen sprayed some insect repellent around them. Then, he bought a large sleeping bag and crawled in with Jin Mudan.
The nights on the island were still relatively cold, and the temperature dropped very quickly. It was estimated that it was already minus ten degrees Celsius.
Without a cultivation base, if one were to sleep outdoors in such a cold environment, one would probably not be able to see the sun the next day.
He had to admit that the system store was really convenient. He could just buy whatever he wanted.
Without the shop, Su Chen really didn't know how to spend the night.
If he were to freeze to death, that would be too depressing.
In the narrow sleeping bag, it was still a bit crowded for two people to lie down. Su Chen could only try to hold Jin Mudan in his arms so that they could warm each other. As for other things, Su Chen had no idea at all.
The next day.
At three or four in the morning, Su Chen was woken up by the cold.
Now that the temperature outside had dropped to minus 40 degrees Celsius, the sleeping bag couldn't resist the cold at all. Su Chen bought a large pack of heating pads and stuck them on his body, barely resisting the cold. But now, he couldn't sleep at all.
After waiting for more than two hours, the sky gradually brightened, and the temperature rose slightly. Su Chen bought two sets of jacket and cold-proof pants and changed into them before continuing to search for Taotao.
After a long period of exploration, Su Chen found that there didn't seem to be any large beasts on this island. The more common ones were some poisonous insects, snakes, and ants. The threat wasn't big. This was the only thing that made Su Chen feel more fortunate. Otherwise, if a random demon beast appeared, it wouldn't be fun.
"Tut tut tut tut tut tut …"
Thompson quickly fired out a string of bullets, blasting all the vines blocking the way, blasting open a path.
The deeper they went into the island, the denser the jungle became. All kinds of plants filled the ground, and there was no way to go.
Jin Mudan looked at Su Chen with an incomparably curious gaze. God knows where he got all these strange things from.
Before the curtain of night fell again, Su Chen finally arrived at the center of the island.
"Taotao!"
Su Chen found Taotao lying in a pile of rocks and hurriedly rushed up.
The originally clean and tidy snow-white deer was now covered in blood. It looked like it was heavily injured.
Su Chen and Jin Mudan carried her out and put her on the ground. Su Chen quickly bought some medicine to stop bleeding from the mall and sprinkled it on Tao-tao's wounds.
After a careful examination, Su Chen found that Tao-tao's injuries were actually not serious. They were all superficial wounds. However, she had slept in a cold environment last night. The body temperature had invaded her body, and her body was somewhat stiff from the cold.
"She won't die right …"
Su Chen shook his head. He took out a bunch of heat pads and stuck them on Tao-tao's body. He also covered her with a thick blanket to keep her warm.
As the temperature rose, Tao-tao's breathing began to return to normal.
The vitality of this little deer was still very tenacious.
Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He got up and looked around. He found that there was no suitable place to take shelter from the wind. He simply bought a tent from the mall and set it up on the spot.
After setting up the tent, Su Chen moved Tao-tao into the tent and let Jin Mudan take care of her.
Su Chen went to explore the nearby area.
This island can't be as ordinary as it looks on the surface. There must be something here. If he wants to leave here, he must explore carefully.
Soon, the sky was completely dark. Su Chen put on the night vision goggles and carefully explored the surroundings with the submachine gun. However, the temperature was getting lower and lower. Everything was covered with a layer of frost. Su Chen could not continue to explore at all and could only return to the tent.
The temperature in the tent was also very low, about minus ten degrees, but at least there was no wind.
Su Chen sat down, opened the mall, bought a few self-heating hot pots, and had a hot dinner with Jin Mudan.
It was very good to be able to eat a hot meal in this harsh environment.
After eating, Su Chen took out a bunch of heat pads and covered the inside of the tent with a thick layer, and then got into the sleeping bag with Jin Mudan.
He couldn't sleep.
It was impossible for Su Chen to say that he didn't panic when encountering such a strange thing. He was used to being powerful. Suddenly, he was beaten back to being an ordinary person. This feeling of difference was not acceptable to ordinary people.
Thinking of the uncertain future, Su Chen couldn't sleep at ease.
Jin Mudan was the same. She lay on Su Chen's chest and muttered, "Master, I'm so cold …"
Su Chen hugged Jin Mudan tightly and said, "Move a little. You won't be cold if you move."
