"A place similar to an air-raid shelter, with a skeleton inside that has been dead for many years." The squad leader replied.
I pondered for a while. It seems that this island has a great background. It is not that no one knows about it, but it is just hidden too well.
"What do you think?" I asked the squad leader.
The squad leader said nothing, just shook his head.
When I looked at the box again, I vaguely saw something under the box.
I rummaged around with my hands for a few times and pulled out a document.
But it was all written in a mess of foreign words, Russian? French?
I don’t know, I don’t know him anyway.
I showed it to Qin Lan, thinking she might have more experience.
As a result, Qin Lan didn't know and had never seen it.
How come there are still documents in this box? Forget it, just ignore it.
With these cans, I can just enjoy myself tonight.
"Li Yuan, besides this, have you found anything else? These rescue boxes are usually dropped in large quantities, so there should be more than one."
While we were enjoying the canned food, I asked Li Yuan about the situation.
"No, by the way, we did find other people today. In order to avoid being discovered, we dragged the box around for a long way before returning."
Li Yuan spoke vaguely while eating something.
"Other people? Who?" I asked.
"They are the people who were with Li Tianming before. Now it seems that some of them have formed their own team, and Li Tianming is nowhere to be seen."
Li Yuan swallowed the food in his mouth and said.
I glanced at Qin Lan, then said to Li Yuan, "No wonder we ran into Li Tianming today too."
"I think most of the food around the beach has been eaten, so I'm going into the woods to look for food."
"It seems we have to be more careful in the future. These people are willing to do anything when they are hungry," I warned.
"Let's act together from now on so we can look after each other. There are more and more people in this forest, and if we are outnumbered and something happens, we will be at a disadvantage."
Qin Lan, who had been quietly eating canned food and listening to us talk, suddenly made a suggestion.
"Yeah, that makes sense." I nodded.
"Um."
"good."
"That's settled then." Li Yuan and the squad leader also agreed with Qin Lan's proposal.
After finishing dinner, Qin Lan said she wanted to go out for a walk to help digest the food.
So I went out for a walk with her.
Qin Lan seems to be worried tonight.
We didn't walk far before Qin Lan sat down on a patch of grass in front.
I also lay down on the grass next to her and looked up at the night sky.
I have never felt so relaxed since arriving on the deserted island half a month ago.
Lie leisurely on the ground and enjoy the night view of this deserted island.
Unlike in the city, the stars in the sky here are particularly bright, twinkling, and you can even vaguely see the Milky Way.
I turned my head to look at Qin Lan, who was also looking up at the night sky.
The moonlight shining on her profile matched the starry sky behind her in a striking way. For a moment, I was stunned.
"Fade Chen, do you know what day it is today?" Qin Lan suddenly asked, bringing my thoughts back to reality.
When I met Qin Lan's eyes, I quickly turned my head away.
"Counting the days, it should be sixteen days now, right? July 18th?"
I answered in confusion, why did Qin Lan suddenly ask this?
"Oh." Qin Lan responded weakly, and then said nothing more.
"Missing home again?" I asked.
Qin Lan looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, today is my birthday."
Birthday? I've never heard Qin Lan mention it.
"To be honest, I've been so busy with my career that I never thought about celebrating my birthday properly. I always felt that with all the time and energy I had, I'd rather go get a few more clients. I didn't expect that I'd think of celebrating my birthday at a time like this. Haha, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Qin Lan said a little frustrated.
"I was wondering why there are canned foods to eat today. It turns out it's God's birthday gift to you." I teased Qin Lan in surprise.
"Puchi, you're the only one with a good mouth, and you can even pick up that." Qin Lan laughed out loud.
"Ouch, I'm going to the toilet over there. Don't wander around here." I pretended to be in a hurry to pee and said to Qin Lan.
"You should go quickly." Qin Lan said.
I ran away, of course not to go to the toilet.
Qin Lan's birthday? This is the time for a surprise.
But where can I get a surprise?
Oh, got it.
When I finished my work and came back, Qin Lan was still waiting for me there.
"Why does it take so long to go to the bathroom? We should go back. Li Yuan and the squad leader will be worried about us soon."
Seeing me come back, Qin Lan stood up and prepared to go back.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be impatient. Here, this is for you."
I pulled Qin Lan up and stuffed the bouquet of flowers I had just picked into her hands from behind.
Think flowers are the only thing that matters? You'd be wrong! Fireflies are a must-have for this romantic occasion.
I released a dozen fireflies that I had just caught.
Suddenly, the fireflies with the light on their tails fluttered around Qin Lan, just like the flickering candles on a birthday cake.
"Qin Lan, happy birthday!" I stared at Qin Lan and said seriously.
"This...?" Qin Lan stared at the bouquet in her hand, then looked at the fireflies flying all over the sky, and was speechless.
"It is said that women love flowers the most. There is nothing else in this jungle, but there are plenty of flowers and plants. There is nothing you can do about the cake candles, so why not make a wish to the fireflies?" I said. There is no other way, right?
"Haha, you think I never had a birthday? Are you kidding me? Who makes a wish to a firefly?" Qin Lan pretended to glare at me.
"This... there is no other way, right... I..." I scratched my head, a little embarrassedly.
"Chen Fei, thank you!" Qin Lan, who was smiling just now, suddenly spoke to me in a very serious tone.
My hands were still on my head and I was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Qin Lan had tears in her eyes. After she finished speaking, she looked up at the firefly and smiled happily again.
"Fade Chen, this is the happiest birthday I've ever had in my life."
"That's good, my efforts were not in vain."
As soon as I finished speaking, Qin Lan took my hand and ran to the middle of the fireflies.
Seeing Qin Lan so happy, I feel very satisfied.
Just as I was happily pulling Qin Lan around in circles, Qin Lan suddenly kissed me on the face.
I was stunned on the spot, and my head buzzed.
Damn, this is the first time I’ve been kissed by a girl. It came so suddenly and it felt so wonderful.
“Thank you for the flowers.”
Qin Lan, however, acted as if nothing had happened, waved the flowers in her hand and ran away.
