Over the years, he had rarely had nightmares. This was the first time he dreamed about what happened that day since his rebirth.
In the past, when he had nightmares occasionally, he would always wake up. There was no one around to take care of him, and he did not want to look for anyone's care, either. Instead, he would turn on the light, pull out a pack of cigarettes, and smoke one after another. Only when he saw the first ray of sunlight in the morning of the next day did he fall back to sleep wearily.
"Dear, I have warmed milk for you. Do you want me to bring you breakfast?"
Ivanov's voice came from outside. Chen An sat on the bed for a moment in a daze. He still remembered what happened last night. He was conscious at that time and clearly remembered what he and Ivanov had done last night.
Chen An patted his forehead with frustration. He got off the bed and put on his clothes. After washing his face and rinse his mouth, he sat down with Ivanov at the table to share breakfast.
In addition to milk, there were wild strawberries picked and washed by Ivanov yesterday. After processing, they became candied strawberries, sweet and sour, and delicious with bread.
"I thought you would beat me this morning." The bear who had eaten his fill last night smiled brightly. He took the bread and tore it in half, smeared strawberry jam in the middle and handed it to the plate in front of Chen An.
Chen An didn't reply. After taking a sip of milk, he picked up the bread.
Ivanov looked at the man smilingly and whispered mysteriously, "I won't leave you, even if you kick me, I won't leave, hum…"
Chen An resolutely put the bread in his hand directly into the bear's mouth.
After breakfast, they took the rubber dinghy to the island again. Yesterday, they only looked at it in a hurry. Probably because it was late afternoon, the island they saw had a ghastly feeling, just like the scene of a horror movie.
It was day now and the sun was shining. Although the desolated building still seemed unsuitable for approaching, the whole island had lost the depressing atmosphere of yesterday evening.
Ivanov was afraid that Chen An would recall his discomfort yesterday, so he did not bring him closer to the abandoned military building when they came to the island. He just picked some wild fruits with Chen An where he found wild strawberries yesterday.
On their way back, they found that there were many sea urchins on the seashore and they got some without efforts. The two men returned to the sailing ship with wild strawberries and sea urchins.
Chen An cleaned sea urchins on the deck while Ivanov was fishing nearby. If taking no account of the damage of the seawater purifier and the shortage of diesel oil, in fact, their current life was more comfortable than Ivanov's luxurious life on land.
At noon, while eating, Chen An said, "There are many small islands in this area, and the nearest one was a former U.S. air base. U.S. troops began to withdraw three years ago and did not withdraw completely until last June. According to U.S. tradition, they would definitely have left many resources on the island."
"I have just checked the diesel oil reserves, which should be enough for us to reach the next island. If we still cannot find diesel oil by then, we can only try to repair the com." Chen An glanced at Ivanov. "Any problem?"
