Chapter 231: Chapter 11 Zhao Zilong’s Romantic Encounter

Xiao Xiao led everyone through the deep forest, traversed some difficult cliff paths, and then headed towards Luanshi Gang.

Gu Xiaoxi looked up ahead, feeling a rush of surprise, "Isn’t this the way to the beach?"

"Yes! This is the way to the beach." Zhao Zilong, holding the map, scrutinized it carefully.

Gu Xiaoxi looked up at the sky. They had walked such a long distance for an entire afternoon, and their pace had been quick.

No wonder the search party sent by the squad leader could not find them.

Gu Xiaoxi and Xiao Xiao made their way to the beach, and by the time they arrived it was already night. The raging tide had submerged the beach, and amidst the terrifying waves, Gu Xiaoxi saw a solitary island far away.

By then, Xiao Xiao laid on the ground motionless, obviously exhausted, and the search had come to an end.

Zhao Zilong and Shao Changfeng surveyed the surrounding terrain and found nothing out of the ordinary.

"Should we swim over to take a look?" Shao Changfeng suggested.

After all, aside from that island, there was nowhere else that could possibly shelter people.

"We have no other choice." Gu Xiaoxi tightened her clothes, then looked at Zhao Zilong with a smile and said, "Come on, why don’t we have a race to see who can swim across first?"

"Who’s afraid of a challenge!" Zhao Zilong readied himself to dive in.

Then the three of them swam together towards the other side.

Originally, Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t intended on bringing Xiao Xiao along, considering the long distance and not knowing if Xiao Xiao’s physical strength would suffice.

But as soon as they got into the water, Xiao Xiao followed them.

Therefore, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t bother about it any further and swiftly swam towards the small island.

Their pace was fast, and half an hour later, the three of them landed. Gu Xiaoxi’s swimming skills were so good that she ranked second to none.

Zhao Zilong might have been impressive, but he was not as effortlessly skillful in the water as her, and she won the race in the end.

After reaching shore, Gu Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Xiao beside her, "Quick, sniff around, see if Yun Xiao is here."

Xiao Xiao shook its fur, sending water splashing everywhere. It took a while to get rid of all the water before it raised its head, took a glance at the island, turned around, and slowly walked along the beach.

Gu Xiaoxi, Zhao Zilong, and Shao Changfeng followed Xiao Xiao along the coastline. After walking for several dozen meters, they saw a person lying on the sand at the shore.

The sea lapped against her body, and the silhouette in the moonlight looked exceptionally desolate.

Zhao Zilong was the first to snap to action, striding over and hurriedly lifting the person up, then swept the scattered hair from her face.

By the moonlight, Gu Xiaoxi recognized the face and confirmed it was indeed Yun Xiao.

"She’s still breathing! Quick, administer artificial respiration!" Gu Xiaoxi looked up at Zhao Zilong and urged, "You carry her to that rock over there, she’s nearly lost all her body heat. Shao Changfeng and I will go pick up some twigs to build a fire. It’s dark now. We need to call the squad leader, ask them to send a rescue, and then light a fire!"

With that, Gu Xiaoxi pulled Shao Changfeng and ran off.

At the same time, they called for help!

Xiao Xiao lay on the beach, at this moment it just wanted to eat meat. It hoped Gu Xiaoxi would keep her promise and deliver on a pot of beef bone soup.

Zhao Zilong laid Yun Xiao on a rock; the woman had not yet awakened, and then he remembered the task of administering artificial respiration!

"Hey, Gu Xiaoxi, where are you going? You haven’t given her artificial respiration yet!" Zhao Zilong, with a frustrated look, shouted at Gu Xiaoxi, who was about to enter the forest on the island.

Amidst a surge of waves, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t turn back and plunged into the woods, not hearing a thing.

Zhao Zilong gritted his teeth... Did Gu Xiaoxi really not hear, or was she pretending not to? With her hearing, even if he were ten meters farther away from her, she could hear him.

This guy was definitely doing it on purpose.

Zhao Zilong looked at the woman lying on the rock, with well-defined features and extremely pale cheeks from water immersion. The breath of life in her was extraordinarily faint.

Forget it! Artificial respiration it is, let’s just help her catch her breath for now.

Shao Changfeng followed Gu Xiaoxi into the forest to look for dry leaves and wood. Seeing Gu Xiaoxi leave Zhao Zilong and the injured behind, he glanced worriedly at the coast and said, "She won’t be in trouble, right? Is it okay for us to walk away like this?"

"Just an artificial respiration, you think Zhao Zilong can’t handle it? Or maybe you want to help too!" A slight mischievous smile flickered in Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes.

Shao Changfeng’s face darkened as he realized this guy was indeed Zhao Zilong’s nemesis, still scheming against him at a time like this.

"I think this guy is definitely in for some luck with women," Shao Changfeng chuckled, not missing a chance to rub salt in the wound.

Gu Xiaoxi gave him a thumbs-up, "Right! I’m giving him an opportunity. Having such an encounter in the army is his good fortune."

Gu Xiaoxi gathered some firewood, squinting and smiling lightly. Actually, she thought Zhao Zilong was the most suitable for this kind of job, so she left him behind.

When Gu Xiaoxi returned with the firewood, Zhao Zilong was still giving Yun Xiao artificial respiration, and she obviously wasn’t going to wake up quickly.

Shao Changfeng started to make a fire, while Gu Xiaoxi was on a phone call.

The company commander already knew Gu Xiaoxi’s location and was dispatching a rescue.

"Gu Xiaoxi, come help me!" Zhao Zilong called out with a dark face.

Gu Xiaoxi chuckled and walked over, helping Zhao Zilong with compressions on Yun Xiao’s chest to continue the artificial respiration.

Ten minutes later, Yun Xiao’s breathing gradually returned. They placed her beside the fire, and her body temperature also recovered a lot.

Afterward, under everyone’s gaze, she slowly opened her eyes.

"You’re awake!" Gu Xiaoxi immediately asked with concern.

Yun Xiao was initially slow to react but then looked at Gu Xiaoxi curiously and asked, "Why are you here?"

This was the only sentence Gu Xiaoxi had heard her say in the past month, so it felt especially rare.

"I came to find you! You’ve been missing for thirty-six hours, and everyone has been looking for you. When we found you, you were unconscious, and it was Zhao Zilong who saved you. You should thank him," Gu Xiaoxi said with a squinting smile.

Zhao Zilong sat nearby with a gloomy face, thinking he should find something to plug her mouth with.

Wasn’t it supposed to be Gu Xiaoxi who did the rescuing?

This sly guy had pushed Yun Xiao onto him and even talked about a romantic encounter, shamelessly!

"Saved me?" Yun Xiao suddenly covered her mouth, knowing even in her foolishness what must have been done to save her from drowning.

As Yun Xiao came to her senses, she immediately turned her head to look at Zhao Zilong with icy, terrifying eyes.

Zhao Zilong chuckled awkwardly and quickly pointed at Gu Xiaoxi, "She helped too!"

"What!" Yun Xiao immediately got up, without thinking, and struck out at Zhao Zilong.

Zhao Zilong’s face changed drastically as he stood up and hastily retreated but was still sent flying by Yun Xiao’s punch.

Both Gu Xiaoxi and Shao Changfeng were left gaping in astonishment!

Such a wild, loner, and formidable woman!

Shao Changfeng shivered and moved closer to Gu Xiaoxi, saying with palpable relief, "Thank you for saving me just now."

Watching Zhao Zilong’s crestfallen look, Gu Xiaoxi felt more amused than shocked.

Romantic encounters aren’t always such fun.

On the other side, Zhao Zilong recovered and quickly struck back, afraid to harm Yun Xiao who might not have fully recovered yet, so he dared not hit too hard. The two began fighting by the seaside.

At that moment, Zhao Zilong felt like he wanted to die.

It was all Gu Xiaoxi’s fault; if she didn’t want to rescue anyone, that was fine, but she had to blurt this out. He was caught off guard by Gu Xiaoxi’s trap and became the pervert who took advantage of someone in peril.

There, they fought furiously, and Yun Xiao’s body seemed to be no worse for wear.

Here, Xiao Xiao was giving Miss Gu a mournful look as if to say: "Where is my bone soup?"

Gu Xiaoxi touched her nose, drying clothes over the fire, pretending to have forgotten her promise. Where could she find a pot of bone soup in a place like this, and it might not even be available when they got back to the company.

After all, Xiao Xiao was no hero, and having a bowl of dog food was good enough; it would likely only get to sniff at the bone soup. Probably that was why Xiao Xiao often hunted for food itself.

Shao Changfeng watched the two fighting off to the side, taking malicious pleasure in their discomfort, while also cheering Zhao Zilong on and kicking him while he was down...

On the side, Gu Xiaoxi took out her mobile phone, awaiting rescue.

After a while, Gu Xiaoxi looked over at Xiao Xiao, who was lying on the ground dozing off, feeling it was not quite right to bully the dog this way.

So, she patted her now-dry clothes and waved to Xiao Xiao, "Let’s go, I’ll take you into the forest to look for food."

Xiao Xiao, who had been sleeping on the ground, flicked his ears, opened his eyes, and seeing Gu Xiaoxi already heading into the dense forest, hesitated for a moment but then followed her.

There were many snakes in the forest at night, but Gu Xiaoxi could easily avoid them. Xiao Xiao followed behind her, reaping the benefits without effort.

Gu Xiaoxi caught several wild chickens. Though it was not equal to a pot of bone soup, it was enough to provide a hearty meal for Xiao Xiao following her.

It wasn’t in vain that it had been tired all afternoon.
