Soon, all the grain warehouses were stored in the system space, and it was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.

Should we head back now?

Wu Fei preferred to go straight back. They had already cleared most of the way they came, so it would be best to go back now.

It wouldn't be good if something unexpected happened after a night.

"Let's head back!"

Fang Xiyue also preferred to return home. Since it would take a whole day to get to one district, she might as well go home to sleep at night so that her family could rest easy.

Fang Xiyue walked towards 'Nan Yan' over there.

"Nan Yan, we're planning to head back soon. What about you? Want to come along?"

Fang Xiyue remembered that he had said he would escort them back and station them in the Spruce District.

"We've packed our luggage, we'll just go get it in a bit and then we can leave. You might have to wait a little while."

'Nan Yan' looked down at Fang Xiyue, his eyes filled with affection and his tone gentle.

He spoke very softly, as if afraid of startling Fang Xiyue.

"Okay, then let's have dinner."

Fang Xiyue nodded with a smile. Although Nan Yan couldn't see the smile on her face, he could clearly see that her eyes were smiling.

It's beautiful, he thought.

Feeling threatened by Nan Yan's increasingly intense gaze, Fang Xiyue quickly turned and ran away.

Nan Yan chuckled twice. How adorable!

"Hey boss, how can you do this to your wife?"

Let me tell you, your marriage to your sister-in-law is a military marriage, which is protected.

If you act like that, I won't be on your side.

The teammate standing next to 'Nanyan' angrily complained.

Nan Yan frowned slightly. "That was just a prank. I've never even met that woman. How could I possibly marry her?"

Besides, have you seen me submit a marriage certificate?

Nan Yan thought that the marriage certificate was very likely a fake one made by his mother, with the purpose of getting him to come home.

He simply couldn't believe his mother was so capable that she could get him married and obtain a legally valid marriage certificate without him even being present.

Even if he did, he would still get a divorce. He had met his true love and couldn't let her run away like that.

Once his mother has settled down in the Spruce District, he'll have a proper talk with her when he goes back to Jiangcheng to pick her up.

Although I called before the communication was cut off to say that I didn't want to get married.

But clearly, Mom got angry at what he said and hung up the phone immediately.

I imagine she would be very happy to know that she has a girl she truly likes.

Therefore, they wouldn't force her to be with the girl on the marriage certificate.

As for that woman named Fang Xiyue, she should be innocent too.

If you encounter this, just explain it to her.

"Anyway, I think the marriage certificate is real. Maybe you've lost your memory."

The teammates still think the leader is a jerk, and his wife is so beautiful.

"Hurry up and get your luggage. Don't forget who you are. What's most important for us right now is what we need to do."

'Nan Yan' gently kicked his teammate.

"yes."

His teammates saluted and ran off, with 'Nanyan' following closely behind to retrieve his luggage.

They didn't have much luggage; a backpack was enough for them.

Fang Xiyue and the others set out food in the open space.

The elite squad watched as the soldiers around them busily broke camp, while they feasted on their food.

The granary here no longer needs to be guarded; the soldiers will join the task of clearing out the zombies.

So they are packing up, preparing to leave.

This makes the elite team seem a bit out of place.

"Is it really okay for us to just sit here and eat like this?"

Wu Fei stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth.

"What's wrong with that? We've accomplished our mission."

Guo Sheng picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks.

"Doesn't it seem a bit cruel for us to eat them?"

Zhao Liang took a sip of soup.

"So you still want to invite them to eat together?"

Fang Xichen took a bite of the steamed bun.

“I told you, you’re talking and eating at the same time, aren’t you afraid of choking? Hurry up and eat, give us some space.”

The soldiers working nearby couldn't stand it anymore. "You guys can eat, so why are you saying so much? You know it's cruel, yet you still say it."

They haven't had fresh meat in a long time. Is the treatment in the Spruce District really that good?

Looks like I need to talk to the higher-ups. I don't expect them to give us meat every day, but once a week would be fine too.

"Haha, bro, wait a minute, I'll be right there."

The top team wasn't angry about being chased away; it was mainly because the other team's mournful faces were too funny.

"If you want to eat well, try to come to our Spruce District. We have all kinds of restaurants there, so you can eat whatever you want."

Wu Fei was just saying that casually, but he didn't expect that many soldiers around him would perk up their ears.

Fang Xiyue and the others had gotten used to eating with Fang Xichen, so they ate faster.

They finished eating quickly and all 10 of them put their masks back on.

Nan Yan rushed back, looking regretfully at his face hidden behind a mask.

How could he forget to sneak a peek before leaving? How stupid of him!

"You're back! Would you like something to eat?"

Anyway, soldiers eat quickly, it only takes 5 or 10 minutes.

"No need, we can eat on the way. It's all prepared. Let's go."

Nan Yan shook his head. Every second he delayed was a second more dangerous, and he couldn't gamble.

The threat from zombies isn't too great right now; the main concern is the New Army. We don't know if they'll find us blocking the way.

"Okay, let's set off then."

Since 'Nanyan' has said so, let's set off immediately.

The entire Peak Team got into the car, and Wu Fei drove them back.
