Without hesitation, she reached out her left hand and grabbed him.
Carl’s intertwined fingers suddenly tightened, the surrounding scenery spinning faster until everything disappeared.
They seemed to ascend into the sky, then suddenly plunge into the water. Bubbles rose, blurring the vision, and a salty taste rushed into the mouth. Naily belatedly realized: This is different from the agreed-upon game plot! The waves crashed, extinguishing all willpower.
Naily awoke in an unusually standard shipwreck survivor mode. Waves crashed against her, jolting her awake. She lay on her back on a shallow beach, unsure of her location. It was near dusk, the sky red as if carelessly smeared by the most inept painter. Naily turned with difficulty and noticed another person beside her. The pure white hair, even when wet and clinging to her cheeks, remained inexplicably clean and dazzling. Karl’s eyes were tightly closed, his face extremely pale, lips slightly blue. Naily immediately sat up, looking around, with no sign of Melissa. She could only first administer a high-level healing potion. Before the potion bottle was empty, Karl’s eyelashes trembled, and he coughed up seawater mixed with blood. Naily clumsily took out a handkerchief from her storage space, wiping his face and feeding him more potion. After the third healing potion, Karl finally opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused for a while.
Naily couldn’t help but wave her hand in front of his eyes, but he suddenly grabbed her hand with unexpected strength. His fingers were icy, yet tightly pressed against hers.
Naily softened her tone: “Karl?” The red eyes finally focused on her face. Karl’s voice was hoarse: “Naily.”
Naily trembled slightly, lowering her eyes: “I’m here.” “Thank goodness,” Karl murmured and closed his eyes.
Naily panicked, checking his forehead temperature, which was indeed alarmingly hot. This heat seemed impossible to repel with medicine. Naily decided to drag Karl away from the beach. But as she tried to stand, she discovered her legs were painfully injured, looking down to see cuts from sharp rocks.
