Chapter 1101
"We must find a place where can lie low and catch some rest before it gets dark." Nicole looked around.
"It seems that we are fated to remain here on the plains tonight," Carl said, helpless as it was something he did not anticipate would happen.
"Carl, let's go." Nicole took the lead and sped off.
"Let's just stay here tonight.We'll need to get ourselves some branches and build ourselves a simple tent.Oh, and let's not forget, we need to think of something to protect us and our horses too," Nicole explained while examining the tiny tree branches.
"Okay.I'll get us some sticks and twigs while you wait her with the horses," Carl said, and made a beeline for the coppice.
Soon after, Carl returned with an armful of broken branches.
"Okay.I think we may start now."
"Okay, I need to get some traps ready while I set up the tent," Nicole said, delegating the task to him.
"Okay."
The two of them began to work together in a tense and orderly manner, and it did not take long for Nicole to complete the tent, the main purpose of which was for protection against any of the creatures which might be roaming about.
"How are you doing over here?" Nicole asked as she went over to Carl.
"I've set a few traps, so be careful"' Carl looked at Nicole as he continued.
"I'm going to get us some branches for firewood," Nicole said, and made her way to the coppice.
‘The protective measures are in place, but what are we going to eat? ' Nicole thought to herself while trudging along the path.
Out of the blue, the grass in front of her rustled.
Nicole instinctively assumed a defensive posture, leaning over the grass, and treading lightly with her feet.
Then, a rabbit jumped out, startling her.
Nicole unsheathed the dagger which she had brought, and chased the rabbit down with it.
The moment she saw an opening, she seized her blade by the tip and threw it at the rabbit, killing it at an instant. Then, she strutted over and picked the carcass up.
Once she had returned to the campsite, Carl shot her an anxious look.
"Where have you been? What took you so long?"
