After bandaging the wound, he could only depend on the white wolf’s luck. Su Chen had already done everything he could.

He retreated to the corner of the cave and closed his eyes. What if the white wolf recovered tomorrow and attacked him instead?

He suddenly thought of this, but he was too tired at the moment. He had been tossing and turning all day without eating anything. Hunger and exhaustion made it impossible for him to think about anything else. If that really happened, perhaps he could only blame himself…

Just like that, Su Chen fell into a deep sleep again, tightly holding the ax in his hand.

The next day soon arrived. Su Chen felt something rubbing against his hand. He suddenly opened his eyes and realized that it was the white wolf that was nestling against him.

Su Chen was shocked at first, but he realized that the white wolf did not seem to have any ill intentions, so he was relieved. The white wolf realized that he had woken up, so it stood up, walked toward him, and crouched down again. It was as if it was kowtowing to him.

He stood up and walked over, petting the white wolf’s head like how he used to pet his grandmother’s puppy. It responded by rubbing its head against Su Chen’s hand.

He thought that they would part ways after they left the cave, but he did not expect the white wolf to follow behind him. After that, the man and the wolf dragged the simple raft that he had just made to the beach.

The sea stretched as far as the eye could see. Su Chen did not have the confidence to cross it with this simple wooden raft but this was the only way. He could only take a gamble.

“Xiao Yuan, help me check the weather for the past three days.”

“Yes, Master. The weather was clear on the first day. The temperature was twenty-five degrees and there was no wind. On the second day, the weather was cloudy. The temperature was twenty-two degrees and there was a light breeze. On the third day, the weather became clear and cloudy. The temperature was twenty-three degrees and there was a light breeze.”

Judging from the weather report, he probably would not be swallowed up by the heavy rain, the wind, or the waves if he was heading out to sea. As for whether there would be other accidents, sigh…

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He did not want to think of anything unnecessary. He threw the raft onto the sea and rode on it. The white wolf stood on the shore and looked at Su Chen in a daze as if its eyes were filled with reluctance. However, Su Chen could not even protect himself when he was out at sea. If he brought the white wolf with him, it would be the same as bringing it to its death.

Su Chen used the simple wood pulp he made to start pushing his raft forward. When he was ready to set off, the white wolf howled behind him as if it was sending Su Chen off. When Su Chen heard its voice, he suddenly stopped. He turned around and said to the white wolf, “I don’t know if we can make it to the other side alive, but if you really want to follow me, I’ll take care of you.”

The white wolf seemed to understand Su Chen’s words and began to run. Then, it jumped onto the raft.

As the raft shook violently, Su Chen hugged the white wolf as the raft steadied itself. At that moment, for the first time, he felt safe in this game world.

Just like that, the man and the wolf started their journey on the raft.

They were at sea for two days, but there was still no end in sight, no sign of reaching the shore. This was also the fifth day that Su Chen was hungry. According to what biology told him, under a state of hunger, a person could only last a week. Su Chen began to feel more and more desperate.

On the third day at sea, Su Chen already wanted to give up. He might not even be able to hold on until tomorrow and the world was becoming more and more blurry. However, in the midst of the blurriness, he seemed to find that he was unwilling to eat and that a house was beginning to appear. Was it an illusion? Or was it real? Su Chen could no longer differentiate. Relying on his last bit of hope, he used all his strength to start rowing in that direction. The white wolf at the side also picked up a paddle and pushed forward with all its strength.

However, just as the distance between them was getting closer and closer, the weather suddenly roared and the sky suddenly darkened. Even the sky was filled with lightning and thunder. Su Chen felt that something was wrong and tried his best to speed up his hands. However, the weather had changed too quickly. Xiao Yuan’s weather forecast said that there would be no rain today!

Before he could complain, the raft started to lose control due to the changes in the wind and waves.

“White wolf! The wind and waves are coming! Be careful!”

Su Chen had already regarded the white wolf as his friend and reminded it as if he was talking to a human.

The white wolf responded with two whimpers. Su Chen could only let the wind and waves attack him. He used his two hands to hold on to one part of the raft so that he would not fall into the water.

He held on for a while and the wind and waves started to become smaller. Su Chen relaxed. Fortunately, the direction the raft was headed to was not messed up by the wind and it did not blow them too far away.

He was ready to pick up the paddle and continue moving forward, but at that moment, the White Wolf began to call out. When he focused his eyes, a huge wave was about to come down on them.

In that instant, there was no room for escape. The wave knocked over the entire raft, and the white wolf and Su Chen disappeared from the sea.

..

In a kindergarten, a group of children sat together, and only Su Chen sat alone in a corner. At that moment, a taller child walked to Su Chen’s side and patted his head with his hand. Su Chen did not make a sound and only adjusted the corner of his clothes. However, the other children actually took a bucket and covered Su Chen’s head. In an instant, a suffocating feeling welled up in his heart.

Cough, cough…

“You’re awake?!”

A girl’s voice suddenly appeared in his ear. Su Chen opened his eyes in a daze and discovered that he was lying on a bed in a room. Why was he here?! Where was this?!! Who was this girl?!

Su Chen’s terrified expression made the girl explain nervously, “This is my home. I rescued you from the shore. When I found you, you were already unconscious. You must’ve encountered a storm at sea. I didn’t mean any harm. I left all your belongings on the table. You can go and check…”

As the girl spoke sincerely, Su Chen’s heart suddenly calmed down. That meant that he had been rescued. Lying on the bed, between life and death, he actually dreamed of being bullied in kindergarten when he was younger…

However, he did not have the time to dwell on these things. Su Chen hurriedly asked, “Thank you for saving me, but have you seen a white wolf?”

“White wolf?”

The young girl tried to recall before finally patting her head as she said, “Oh! I remember now, that little dog! My brother’s taking care of it, don’t worry! It’s fine, it also choked on a lot of water but my brother’s a famous veterinarian in town!”

Little dog?!

When Su Chen heard this, he was still not sure if it was the white wolf that she had saved, so he was prepared to get up. However, he did not know if it was because he had not eaten for a long time, but he did not have any strength under his legs at all. He immediately laid down on the ground, and when the girl saw this, she immediately helped Su Chen up..
