Chapter 421
Connor was still riding high on his triumph, constantly flaunting his success to the little crab.
In the live stream chat:
[Is this really the Connor we know? Besides his face, I can't see the resemblance.]
[Whoever you are, please get off Connor.]
[Though Connor seems like he's under a spell, it's so sweet]
[Crab: Is nobody gonna speak up for me?]
Chloe gazed at the distant sunset. The enormous sun looked like a blazing fireball, painting the horizon in shades of fiery red. The view was absolutely stunning, but Chloe sighed deeply. How long would they be stuck here?
Connor sensed her gloom. He gently placed the little crab on the sand and asked, "What's going on?"
Chloe replied, "I keep wondering when we'll be discovered. Surely, we won't have to stay on this island forever, right?"
Connor wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "Even if we did, it wouldn't be so bad. No scheming, no interruptions."
Chloe understood Connor's perspective. Despite being born into immense wealth, his life was a constant battle, filled with conspiracies and plots. Surviving each day was a challenge. To him, this place was almost like paradise.
Chloe smiled and said, "The environment is nice, but the resources are too scarce. We only have fish, shrimp, and crabs to eat. We don't even have a single rabbit in sight."
The next morning, Chloe and Connor had just woken up when they saw a dozen rabbits hopping around on the beach.
Chloe was ecstatic and immediately
began catching them. They managed to catch seven in total. After some discussion, they decided to keep the rabbits. The island was too quiet, and having some lively creatures would make things more Vibrant.
Chloe made a large rabbit hutch out of bamboo and put the little rabbits inside. Watching the rabbits hop around, Chloe's mood lifted.e However, Connor seemed troubled as he looked at the rabbits Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"What's wrong?" Chloe asked. "You look like something's bothering you."
Connor replied, "These are hares, a species unique to our country. How could they end up on a small island in the Pacific?"
Chloe also found it odd but didn't dwell on it. "Maybe someone landed on this island before and brought them here."
That explanation made sense.
In the afternoon, they ventured into the jungle to explore. Surprisingly, they found a backpack. Inside were a lighter, flashlight, compass, and other items exactly what they needed.
"Could there be other people on this island?" Chloe wondered aloud.
It was strange. The island was small, just beyond the stretch of silver sand was a bamboo grove and a small jungle. From the cliff, you could see the entire island, which was no more than five kilometer's across. On their first day, Chloe had searched everywhere and hadn't found any signs of life-not even an animal, let alone a person. Content

Moreover, Chloe remembered walking this route before and not finding the backpack. Although the backpack looked old and abandoned, something felt off.
"Connor," Chloe said, looking up at the dense forest, "do you ever feel like there's always a pair of eyes watching us?"
