“No.” Jiang Baimian shook her head. “Inequality rather than want is the cause of trouble.”
She then made further arrangements. “Hey and I will be on night duty tonight. Little White and Little Red will sleep in the room. Old Ge will rest in the car and use the solar charger to recharge.”
“Alright!” Shang Jianyao agreed very quickly.
Long Yuehong naturally had no objections and chose to agree tacitly.
After a meal and an internal discussion, Jiang Baimian slung a Short Neck submachine gun over her shoulder and said to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, “Get some rest.”
She pushed open the cabin door and walked out into the darkness.
Shang Jianyao and Genava followed closely behind. The former even carefully closed the door.
Suddenly, the cabin became extremely quiet.
Long Yuehong reflexively felt a little nervous. He looked around and said, “Get some rest. We still have to get up at midnight to replace Team Leader and Shang Jianyao.”
“Alright.” Bai Chen sat on the wooden bed that had been sprayed with insect repellent and covered with a military blanket.
Long Yuehong sat by the bed a distance away. He opened his mouth and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
After trying to be in the right mind for more than ten seconds, he finally asked, “Little White, w-why do you like me?”
Long Yuehong almost slapped himself with his right hand after asking that.
Yes, his right hand.
Bai Chen thought for a moment before saying, “Ever since my parents passed away, nobody has meticulously treated me as you do.”
Long Yuehong was overjoyed, but he didn’t have much confidence. He instinctively wanted to mutter, “I’m only 1.75 meters tall after genetic enhancement…”
At this moment, Bai Chen added, “Besides, you’re a brave person.”
Long Yuehong couldn’t help but smile.
Bai Chen looked at him and asked, “Then, why do you like me?”
Long Yuehong scratched his head with his left hand. “I don’t know when it started either. Maybe it was when we gradually had common topics to talk about, or maybe it was after I felt comfortable with you even without talking. I don’t have to think about how to liven up the atmosphere.”
“You seem uneasy now.” Bai Chen hit the nail on the head.
Long Yuehong smiled embarrassedly before yelping.
“What’s wrong?” Bai Chen asked.
Long Yuehong scratched his head with his right hand. “I specially watched some Old World entertainment previously. It said that when you interact with the girl you like, don’t ask direct and awkward topics such as why you like or don’t like something. I forgot all of that…”
Forgot… Bai Chen’s eyes flickered slightly. “Then, what did it say about how you should interact and what to chat about?”
Long Yuehong was just about to answer when he suddenly saw Bai Chen’s eyes curl slightly under the light of the fire outside. Her eyes were like stars, and her lips slightly opened.

Swoosh!
Jiang Baimian grabbed the back of Shang Jianyao’s collar and dragged him away from the forest ranger’s cabin window.

This fellow had just sneakily tried to stick his head out from the side to reduce the lighting.
“Focus on patrolling!” Jiang Baimian released her left hand and released Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao straightened his clothes and suppressed his voice. “Aren’t you curious?”
“Uh…” Jiang Baimian hesitated. She then straightened her face and said, “You have to be polite!”
“That’s right.” An unknown Shang Jianyao strongly agreed.
He began to patrol seriously.
…
After five to six days, the Old Task Force—which had been heading northeast—realized that the surrounding buildings were gradually becoming dense.
This meant that there might be a city ruin ahead of them.
From the map that had no landmarks for reference, this could either be Tai City or not.
