Chapter 87 Wounded (1/2)

Early in the morning, Essie got up and packed her backpack.

Zac leaned against the door frame and looked at her with a confused look on his face. ”Where are you going?”

”Mandy and I are going to go to the coastline. We will camp out on the island tonight. I won't be coming home, so remember to lock the door.”

”Do you have everything with you?” Zac said, raising his eyebrows.

”Well, water jug, tent, compass... All done,” Essie said, telling him the list of stuff in her backpack.

”You must bring the cellphone with you. If I call you, you must answer it within five seconds,” he ordered in a very dictator-like manner.

”What if I don't hear the phone ringing?” Essie rolled her eyes at him.

”Vibration.” He flicked her forehead. She was obviously a new hiker without any experience, so he was a little worried and he had to watch the whole process of the surveillance. ”Remember, safety is the most important thing. If you can't hold on, don't stick yourself. Call me to pick you up.”

Hearing his words, Essie frowned at him in discontent and said, ”Don't look down upon me. I'll stick it out until the end.”

With that, she left the apartment valiantly.

The activities of the day were going fairly smoothly. Although there were blisters on her feet already, Essie just gritted her teeth and powered through.

In the evening, they took a boat to an uninhabited island that was over ten kilometers away from the coast.

After Essie finished setting up the tent, she sat on the beach.

Then, she took off her shoes and applied some iodine and band aid on her wounds.
