Chapter 82 Character Weaknesses
The city where Suwan's family lives is in the relatively poorer north. They left the safe zone in the morning. After a ten-hour flight, it was already dark, and the trees blocked the light and shadows. It was already early October, and the temperature naturally dropped. Suwan was in good physical condition and didn't feel anything, but Zoe's attention was diverted from the flying plane. When she noticed the environment she was in, she immediately felt cold. The clothes she was wearing were the lab coats of scientific researchers. Although they were loose, they were not warm, and they looked very thin in the environment she was in. Although she tried hard to hide it, she couldn't help shivering, which was immediately noticed by Suwan.
Suwan withdrew her gaze from the surroundings and reached out to hug Zoe: "Are you cold?" Her action brought Zoe psychological warmth, but it could not bring warmth to Zoe's body, so Zoe nodded frankly and did not show off, but she also emphasized to Suwan: "Fortunately, it's not to the point where I can't bear it."
"It's going to get colder," Suwan said.
Suwan looked down at the time displayed on his multi-function watch. It was already 9:30 in the afternoon. It gets dark early in the north, and it was almost dark in the forest to the point where he couldn't see the road ahead. In such an environment, even if there was no danger, it was easy to fall and get injured. So Suwan walked around and found that the area was temporarily safe. He cleared a small area and lit a small fire with windproof matches. The two of them sat on the rocks next to the fire to warm themselves. It was too dangerous to do this without knowing whether the environment was absolutely safe. If Suwan was alone, she would never make such a low-level mistake, but there was no way. She was too familiar with the environment in the north. The later it was, the lower the temperature was. Zoe couldn't stand such cold. They were too hasty when they left, and they didn't have time to prepare, nor did they have the opportunity to prepare too many items. It was very good that Suwan could prepare her equipment.
Suwan didn't mean to blame Zoe at all. She even took off her combat uniform jacket and gave it to Zoe. She herself was only wearing the tight black short-sleeved combat uniform.
"You'll be cold too. I'm much better. I won't wear it," Zoe tried to refuse, but Suwan was particularly insistent at this time: "I'm not cold. I won't feel cold even if it snows, but it will be troublesome if you catch a cold." Suwan was right. Her physical fitness and training intensity made her not worry about this temperature at all. She had experienced worse situations, not to mention it was just a slight drop in temperature. Zoe couldn't argue with Suwan, so she had to put on the coat that still had Suwan's warm body temperature, and there was a small fire to warm herself. She did feel a lot warmer, but she couldn't help blaming herself, thinking that she had caused trouble for Suwan as soon as she got off the plane. She really wanted to do something to help Suwan to the best of her ability, but all the top scientific and technological knowledge she knew was simply useless when it came to survival in the wild.
Seeing Zoe lowering her head in a depressed mood, Suwan could guess what she was thinking. Although she listened to the movements around her alertly and did not dare to let down her guard, she did not want Zoe to feel guilty. Suwan was very moved that Zoe could abandon everything and follow her to a completely unfamiliar and unknown place with unknown dangers. She naturally felt a sense of responsibility to protect Zoe, so Suwan threw broken wood branches into the fire while talking to Zoe: "Is it too quiet?"
It's really too quiet.
Such a quiet environment made Zoe feel a little uncomfortable, but with the powerful Suwan by her side and the light of the fire, Zoe was not afraid. This was her first time in such an environment. If she had not left the safe zone secretly, it could be said that she would never have the possibility of facing these. After all, she was a scientific researcher who had no self-protection ability and needed to be carefully protected.
"It's too quiet," Zoe nodded.
"Let me tell you a story," Suwan smiled, revealing his little fangs.
