The fire gradually died, leaving behind several weak sparks .

They had run out of firewood .
Despite coiling behind the stone wall to avoid the cold wind, her hands had long gone numb, and there seemed to be a thin layer of ice on her face; each of her lashes was frozen and even the simple act of blinking her eyes became somewhat tough .
As she rubbed her hands together and blew at them, she raised her head to look at the night scenery .
Youyou was taking a nap while leaning against his brother .
Mu Yichen, meanwhile, was leaning against the stone wall . He wore an outer jacket, previously given to him by the scar-faced man .
He felt something hard in one of the pockets when he put his hands in them for warmth .
He was surprised to see that it was a photo upon taking it out .

In the photo was a cute girl standing in an amusement park with a bright and warm smile on her face .
There was a man’s handwriting on the back of it . Ruoxue, dad loves you!
Was she his daughter?
His brows knitted slightly before carefully keeping the photo in his jacket’s inner chest pocket .
He turned to look at his younger twin .
Right now, his head was on his shoulder . His ebony hair fluttered in the wind as it brushed on his pale, thin face and entangled his lashes . He looked somewhat frail and lifeless .
They had to leave now . They would probably freeze to death in this wilderness if they stayed here longer .

When the sun slowly rose in the distant east, Lisa carefully covered the traces of the dead fire with a pile of leaves . Now that it was bright, she could finally easily tell her cardinal directions with her excellent navigational skills . She then slowly headed to the north .
Mu Yichen followed her closely with his brother in tow .
Deep in the jungle, daylight pierced through the canopy of trees and left them mottled .
A cobra aggressively darted out its pinkish, forked tongue atop a tree as a bullet pierced through the evergreen leaves, smoldering .
In the shade of a huge tree, a cold-looking Lisa blankly stared at the cobra, which was precisely shot in the head, with tilted head while playing with the Colt in her hand .
She plucked some fruit from the tree .
Its sour juice spilled in her mouth when she bit on one of them .

With a spitting sound, she threw the fruit away .
The unripe fruit would upset the stomach if eaten .
Mu Yichen looked at her .
She was dressed in a camouflage-field combat suit . When she nimbly cruised through the rainforest, she looked like a cute, wild kitten .
When she saw the colorful plants around her after she had climbed up a tree, she could not resist reaching out her painted hand to poke at each of them . A charming smile graced her lips .
She was actually smiling!
His eyes widened in shock .
He actually saw a rare smile touching her face .
She was really beautiful when she smiled .
Her features had the mysterious allure of the East and the deep exquisiteness of European ancestry .
When she was not smiling, she had the haughtiness and coldness of a mighty queen .
The moment she smiled, though, she had bits of the graceful gentleness particular to oriental women; it was enticingly charming .
The sun rose slowly from the horizon . The forest was dark and damp under the morning light, though . The air of poisonous bugs and wild beasts spread across the forest from time to time .
A poison dart frog perched not far away from the girl, who was focused on climbing the tree trunk with her stomach occasionally grumbling strangely .
A tiger tarantula plummeted from a branch while two colorful coral snakes slithered through the grass .
