Watching Xiaoxue disappear from sight, Shi Xi thought to herself, "It's all over."

The only living thing around her was gone.

After glancing outside the cave, Shi Xi hesitated for a moment before looking inside.

There's more space inside, but I don't know what it is.

Will there be any bears?

Shi Xi leaned against the wall and half-stood up, wanting to go inside and take a look.

If there were branches or something similar, she could use them to stabilize her shinbone before going out.

If there really are bears.

Let's restart it then.

See you in the next life.

Before going in, Shi Xi looked at her belongings, took off her hat, and placed it at the cave entrance.

That way, if someone passes by, they can just walk in.

Shi Xi staggered into the cave and was surprised to find that it became wider and wider as she walked.

At first, I couldn't straighten up, but after going inside, I was able to stand up straight.

But it's also darker.

Shi Xi closed her eyes and adjusted for a while before she could see the things inside more clearly.

There was a small hut in the corner, and a backpack on the ground.

Huh?

Is someone here?

Immediately, Shi Xi dismissed the idea.

The backpack was covered in dust and dirt.

Shi Xi looked around carefully again. The cave was dirty and didn't seem like a place where humans often came.

Looking at that little den in the corner, it seems more like it belongs to a white fox.

"I wonder who lost this backpack. Let me see if there's anything I can use. Thanks." Shi Xi pulled the backpack and went to a place closer to the cave.

I opened my backpack to check, hoping to find something useful inside.

The backpack was filled with quite a few things, including some snacks and canned goods.

Shi Xi glanced at the expiration date.

Then I felt like what I was doing was superfluous.

Do I stop eating it just because it's expired?

Put down the food and continue the search.

There were also bandages and some medicine inside.

The only thing that is straight and firm is a pen.

Shi Xi gathered a few more dry branches and used bandages to bind her calves.

I hope to get out of here soon.

She doesn't want to be in a wheelchair anymore.

Although electric wheelchairs are very convenient.

After wrapping her legs up, Shi Xi continued rummaging through her bag, hoping to find something.

It's best to have a mobile phone.

No.

Shi Xi found a notebook and flipped through it casually; it looked like a diary.

She is not interested in other people's privacy.

But then I saw a small camera.

Yes, she's stuck here, yet she still has the leisure to take pictures.

Unsurprisingly, the camera could no longer be turned on.

What else is there?

When Shi Xi found the compass that was still working, fireworks burst in her heart.

Very good!

At least I won't get lost anymore!

If we keep heading south, we should be able to get out, right?

Shi Xi wondered if she should pack her backpack and go out for a wild ride.

Getting out is better than waiting to die here, right?

If you rely on a mountain, it will crumble; if you rely on a fox, it will run away.

Only by relying on yourself will you never fall.

Shi Xi slung her backpack over her shoulder and glanced at the sky outside.

Although she didn't know what time it was, she had food, water, and a compass.

Shi Xi tentatively walked a short distance outside.

But after walking for quite a while, the scene before me remained the same.

Damn it.

Could it be that we're lost?

As the sky gradually darkened, Shi Xi thought, "I should go back to the cave."

At least it can block the wind, so I won't freeze to death at night.

Just as she was about to give up and turn back...

A gunshot rang out!

Shi Xi's eyes widened.

Someone's there!

Is it that hunter from the guesthouse?

There's hope!

Shi Xi instantly perked up and shouted, "Is anyone there? Uncle who's hunting, can you hear me?"

She could hear the enemy's gunshots.

The distance shouldn't be far.
