Chapter 1119
It was less than 30 feet away. Joanna struggled with all her might for more than half an hour before she rolled
Bruce to the shelter.
There was a huge protruding rock at the top.
The rock could shelter them from the wind and rain, so she could temporarily settle him there.
Joanna was already panting from exhaustion and her mouth was dry.
She was exhausted and on the verge of collapse. All she wanted was some water.
She looked around.
The land here was very dry. It would probably take a long time to find a water source.
“Cough, cough, water…” Bruce coughed and mumbled in a daze.
Joanna heard the commotion and quickly went up to him. “Hubby, are you awake?”
Bruce’s eyes were still tightly shut, and his body temperature was terrifyingly high.
The skin on his face seemed to be peeling again. The new flesh was red and smooth. Once the old skin completely
peeled off, he probably wouldn’t look bad.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe reason why he looked terrifying and hideous now was that the skin on his face seemed to be charred and
wrinkled as if he was wearing a horror mask.
However, Joanna did not care about that at all.
She would love him unreservedly as long as he was alive, even if he would always be like that.
“Water… I want to drink water…”
“You want some water, don’t you? Wait a minute. I’ll go get some water.”
Joanna looked around. It should be safe there.
She was afraid that wild animals would come after she left.
However, she was also extremely thirsty. Without water, she did not know how long she could last.
Joanna moved a few stones and surrounded Bruce to protect him. Even if a wolf came, it might not be able to
break the stones in a short period.
“I’m going to find water. Stay here obediently.” Joanna combed her hair and turned to walk away.
Her clothes were in tatters, her hair was disheveled, and one of her shoes was lost.
With one foot bare, she walked into the distance to find water.
Ten minutes later, she had already walked a long distance, but there was still no water source.
“Where can I find water?”
“Oh, God, please!”
With one bare foot, Joanna walked with difficulty while continuing to search for a water source.
At the same time, she had to constantly mind her way and make some marks along the way. After all, without any
special signs, it was easy to get lost.
She walked, broke, and continued.
Unknowingly, Joanna had already walked very far.
Unfortunately, there was still no water source.
She was also about to collapse. Her bare foot was already drenched in blood due to the rocks and weeds.
Joanna could only tear off a sleeve and wrap it around her foot as much as possible.
After walking for about ten minutes, the air suddenly became much moister.
“The plants here are a little lush. There must be water nearby.”
She searched for another five to six minutes.
Finally, a wide river appeared in front of her.

“Great, I finally found water.”
Joanna picked up her pace excitedly and staggered towards the river.
After she reached the river, she could no longer care if the water was clean or not and whether she should filter it.
Seeing that the water was still clear, she cupped her hand and drank from it.
After drinking the water, Joanna sat by the river and rested for a while. She did not dare to delay any longer and
prepared to return.
However, there was no apparatus to hold water.
If she held the water in her hands, it would run dry before she reached Bruce.
After thinking about it, she could only take off her clothes and soak them in the water. After letting them. absorb the
water, she carried the dripping clothes back.
At that moment, she only had thin undergarments left on her body. But since that was no man’s land, she did not
have to worry about anyone peeping at her.
However, the cold wind blew on her, making her shiver.
After a long while, Joanna walked back to Bruce’s side with difficulty.
