Hua Mu sat blankly in a daze, mechanically stuffing the coconut flesh into her mouth with the plant stem she previously used to drink coconut water.
Bai Zhen seemed to want to say something, and finally began to deal with the other half of the coconut shell that had been hollowed out. She hasn't drink since they arrived, and her lips have dried. The atmosphere was a bit dull, only the sound of a knife passing through the coconut shell.
Hua Mu suddenly turned her head to look at Bai Zhen, a terrifying thought flashed in her mind. That is, from now on, her survival completely depends on this Sentry, if she abandons her, she can't even open a coconut.
The sentinel is very sensitive, and Bai Zhen immediately noticed Hua Mu's sight, thinking she had another orders.
"Miss?"
Hua Mu heart tightened, and she quickly looked away from her.
Not to mention her previous attitude, what she has said and done just now is no good. Would Bai Zhen suddenly think of these and after finding out how bad she is, will she abandon her?
Or simply have vengeance, dissatisfaction, blame, beat her?
Hua Mu has never been in a situation like that made her couldn't help thinking.
Although the sentry loyalty of Tari is very high, the guard assigned to the heir to the throne is one in a million, but in this case, nothing is right. Even if she killed her, nobody would know when she went back!
"Miss, are you uncomfortable?"
Hua Mu felt more and more uneasy, and now she felt that Bai Zhen's performance is very strange.
Obviously she's used to say nothing, why does she keep asking her now?
Actually, Bai Zhen was quite worried about Hua Mu. Not to mention a Princess like her, even sentry soldiers from tower's like her would rarely encounter this kind of isolation problem. But she always not good at speaking, and was particularly nervous when facing Hua Mu. At this time, she did not know how to comfort her.
"..."Hua Mu suddenly handed the half-eaten coconut flesh to Bai Zhen, leaning her face towards her, "You don't seem to have eaten anything until now ..."
She felt that she should show a little care, or at least use a softer tone, but she could not feel any tenderness when she saw Bai Zhen's face.
Do I have to please her? I have to appease this face that didn't even smile at me?
She is just her own guard and shadow. Isn't it natural to expect loyalty and obedience?
Hua Mu thought about a bunch of things in her mind, and the originally swaying tone suddenly became full of confidence.
"I can't finish this, you can eat it."
Bai Zhen was flattered, and hesitantly looked at the coconut shell handed over by Hua Mu. It has been half a day since she came to this island. Because of Hua Mu's safety concern, she has not had a time to investigate the specific situation of this island.
In case if neither water nor food can guarantee a long-term source, she must leave enough supplies for Hua Mu. As a sentry, she can maintain more than 80% of her combat effectiveness without drinking water for a week and without eating for half a month. This is enough to deal with most situations, so of course she can save a little.
"Miss, I... I'm not hungry. If you can't eat it, why don't you put it first? Do you have anything else you want to eat? What about fish?" She said a long paragraphs in one breath. When Hua Mu saw Bai Zhen's obvious hesitation, she was out of breath, and even more annoyed as she listened to her.
In fact, she sometimes didn't know why she was angry. Anyway, she will get angry whenever she saw Bai Zhen.
"Why? It is because I've eaten it? I don't want to eat it for a long time, just throw it away if you don't eat it." She said, and as she was about to throw the coconut on the ground, Bai Zhen quickly reached out to pick it up.
Now, every piece of food and water is precious, not to mention coconut flesh is rich in fact, protein and vitamins,of course it can't be wasted.
"I don't mean this... Thank you, Miss." Bai Zhen really hated her stupid mouth. She understood the uneasiness in this situation, but she did not know how to comfort her.
Hua Mu didn't care about seeing her take it. She was both worried about her willingness to eat and because she doesn't have a good attitude.
Did she buy her off?
Bai Zhen doesn't use the stems used by Hua Mu, but uses a knife to scrape the flesh. She ate her food very quickly and cleanly.
Hua Mu saw that she eaten half of the flesh she had just eaten without hesitation, her cheeks were a little warm, and she had to lean her head to speak to draw her attention.
"You said, what should we do now?"
Bai Zhen actually had been thinking about it for a long time, but Hua Mu's mood was not good at all, so she thought about giving her some time to adapt first.
"At present, I can only hope that someone will come to search and rescue, and try to make obvious signs with stone's and fireworks." That is to say, but as she thought before, how long will it take for the guard's to find their disappearance is still a problem.
Plus this area is already a shipwreck circle, and the difficulty of search and rescue can be imagined.
"Can you make fire?" Hua Mu frowned, and she this time, remembered that she was told by her fellow Naturalist that it takes a lot of time to drill wood and make fire, and now it's already afternoon.
"I have flint." Although the White Bai Zhen is not good at speaking, it is fortunate that she won't look at her face, she says that as she took out a black rod-like black object from the small bag around her waist.
Hua Mu realised that after all, she is Sentinel, always carry something useful on their bodies. Unlike her, who only brings empty skirts pocket and a necklace.
She looked at the Bai Zhen again and found that the guard uniform she was wearing was basically not damaged. Black trousers, big-head cowhide combat boots, and a black vest looming in sky-blue shirt. The shoulder bag at the waist is small but we'll packed.
"Cough, then let's take out the things on each of us first, and then plan our future." Hua Mu Said loudly, in fact she wanted to see what good things Bai Zhen has.
She knows her very well. She can't carry her weight and she can't survive on a deserted island alone. She can only pin her hopes on Bai Zhen, but now she can't trust her completely, so she has to draw a line and be on guard.
Bai Zhen didn't doubt her, and she began to take things from herself very obediently.
Not to mention the military combat belt bag around the waist, the dagger in the shoe, the mini grenade in the side pocket, and various blade props in the seam of the trousers. After she took off her shirt, she showed a lean but powerful body and three guns in the waist holster.
Hua Mu was stunned. Even the shame when she saw her undressed was gone. She pointed to a pile of things on ground and asked her:"Do you think we will be killed?"
Bai Zhen was confused and shook her head subconsciously.
"Then do you carry these things every day?"
This is simply a mobile arsenal, right? How many of these things are left aside, how did she hide so many things under thin clothes?
Although Hua Mu watched her take it out, she still felt incredible.
Bai Zhen nodded, ofcourse.
Hua Mu took a deep breath, and while telling herself not to make a fuss, she counted the things that Bai Zhen has taken out.
Three normal-sized guns, each filled with eight round of bullets, in a addition to three boxes of 20 rounds of portable bullet filler.
A mini palm pistol, the size of a half pen, can only be filled with one bullet. Two mini grenades in the size of walnuts, a dagger and a multi-purpose military knife.
There are also a series of small things such as a blade,a compass, a watch, a whistle, etc. Some of them she can't name it.
The next important point is the waist bag that Bai Zhen has released. The waist bag is divided into many small bags. In addition to the flint that was just taken out, the multi-function knife that was used early in the morning, there are many medicines and a roll of things like thin steel wire.
"What's this?" Hua Mu was feeling full of crisis. When she saw something she didn't know, she asked Bai Zhen.
Bai Zhen patiently introduced the purpose of each of them.
"What's inside?" All kinds of emergency medicines made Hua Mu feel relieved, and finally focused on a special small iron box. The small iron box is only slightly larger than a business card holder, and it contains white capsules, a mini-sized syringe, and several pills in aluminium foil bags.
Basically, there are only one or two emergency medicines, and the things inside seems to be particularly sufficient.
Hua Mu touched the white capsules and counted it, and found that one third had been eaten, leaving only 16 tablets left.
Is it a commonly used medicine?
She looked at the Bai Zhen, only to find that the other person flushed, she looked hard to speak.
"What is this?" Hua Mu thought before wether she would adopt a subordinate policy towards this Sentry, but at the moment she asked questions and still used superior's tone.
" It's...a small piece of white capsules distributed to the sentry by Tari."
The so called white capsules are artificial Elemental Guide.
The Sentinel's five senses are extremely sensitive, which gives them a huge advantage in many operations. Of course, this also brought them great troubles. Without a barrier, any slight noise or touch can make them irritable and even made them lost.[1]
The probability of Sentinel's and Guides is extremely low. As the country's precious wealth, they will be sent to the tower when they are awakened to receive guidance and training. In the past, these Sentries and Guides would later be assigned to the military or other institutions for national use.
However, because of peaceful time, huma rights have been further developed, the tower is divided into inside and outside, and the Sentry and Guides of the outer tower can have other options after the dangerous period.
Sentinel's from the inner tower like the Bai Zhen will still be assigned difficult tasks.
Notes:
[1] So FL is basically super power bodyguard, but she has a setback, she needs to take medicine. The Tari(Tower) is sort of Government organization rules over Guide and Sentinels.
