After driving for an unknown amount of time, the rain had subsided somewhat.

Erpang's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Hang in there, everyone, we'll be there soon."

Shen Zhijie chatted with Sang Ze while rowing the boat. When he heard Erpang's voice coming from the walkie-talkie, he picked it up and contacted Xiao Mu, saying, "Hey you two, why are you so quiet while you're holding the boat back?"

Jiang Yao took the walkie-talkie from Xiao Mu's waist and replied, "Do you think everyone is like you, always talking wherever they go?"

"I suggest you save your energy for climbing the mountain later!"

After safely and smoothly reaching the foot of the mountain, Erpang organized everyone to secure the kayak.

They began transporting supplies up the mountain, but transporting supplies up the mountain was still very difficult.

Due to the impact of the rain, a large number of slippery stones were exposed on the ground, and Xiao Mu and the others tried their best to avoid them. They knew that if they weren't careful, stepping on one could not only lead to a slip and fall, but could also be life-threatening.

Xiao Mu earnestly instructed Jiang Yao, "When we go up the mountain later, just follow behind me. Call me if anything happens."

Even Shen Zhijie was extremely cautious along the way, because carelessness could cost him his life.

Shen Xi and the others remained vigilant at all times, as this transport was in preparation for a future migration.

After placing the supplies at the designated location, the group rested briefly before starting their descent. As the saying goes, going up a mountain is easy, but going down is difficult; going up is hard, but going down is even harder.

After an hour of descent, we finally arrived at the kayak location.

On the way back, we came across a kayak with three people on it. They didn't look like they were out looking for supplies, as it was completely empty from a distance.

It's not surprising that someone has a kayak at this time; what's surprising is that they came out at this time.

Shen Xi watched as the other person warily picked up the walkie-talkie, "Attention, all groups!"

"Please drive safely."

"Keep your distance."

When Shen Zhijie and Sang Ze saw the kayak on the other side, they slowed down and came face to face with it.

Shen Zhijie and Sang Ze exchanged a glance, both seeing the other's worry.

After successfully returning to the shelter, they handed the kayak over to Liu Mingliang, an official.

Shen Xi instructed everyone to keep the meeting confidential and get some rest during the day. The arrival time will be the same tomorrow night; we'll notify you of the location then as well.

It was still a bit dark when Jiang Yao got home. The first thing she did was take a bath and then make herself a cup of brown sugar ginger water to ward off the cold.

Dry your hair, do your basic skincare routine, turn on the dehumidifier, and take a nap.

At noon, Jiang Yao was awakened by a knock on the door. She rubbed her messy hair and went to open the door.

The moment the door opened, Shen Zhijie rushed in, yelling, "Jiang Yao, you're still sleeping! Someone's about to steal your base!"

What?

What was stolen?

Jiang Yao frowned slightly, completely confused. She asked, "Don't panic, what's going on?"

"Just now, Xiao Mu wanted to bring you brown sugar ginger water to ward off the cold, but Jiang Xue, that shameless woman, actually stopped Xiao Mu."

"Go and take a look!"

When Jiang Yao and Shen Zhijie went out, what they saw was Jiang Xue leaning against Xiao Mu like Lin Daiyu had possessed her.

Xiao Mujun's face was ashen, and everyone fell silent, not daring to utter a single word.

This is something that Jiang Xue, being so captivated by beauty, wouldn't be able to see.

Jiang Xue said softly, "Brother Xiao, how did you know I had typhoid fever?"

"Did you specially make this brown sugar ginger water for me?" she said, reaching for it.

Xiao Mu raised the brown sugar ginger water in his hand, his tone icy, "You're overthinking it. This isn't for you." Just then, Jiang Yao and Shen Zhijie appeared, so he handed the brown sugar ginger water to Jiang Yao.

Seeing this, Shen Zhijie quickly took it, almost as if he was helping Jiang Yao drink it.

Jiang Yao calmly took the brown sugar ginger water from Shen Zhijie's hand and said "Cheers" to Jiang Xue.

Xiao Mu lowered his head playfully.

Shen Zhijie chuckled.

Seeing Jiang Yao's provocation, Jiang Xue pursed her lips tightly, as if she wanted to swallow all her anger.

Seeing this, Shen Zhijie quickly stepped between Xiao Mu and Jiang Xue, saying, "Darling, where's my brown sugar ginger water!"

Xiao Mu glanced at Shen Zhijie and slowly said, "There's more in the pot, go get it yourself."

Jiang Xue's anger reached its peak, and she went mad.

At night, Xiao Mu, Jiang Yao, and the others, armed with their weapons, avoided the crowd at the entrance and quietly made their way to the emergency exit to reunite with the others.

Erpang and Shen Xi will still lead the team. "This time the delivery location is farther than last time, so everyone needs to speed up."

"Try to get back to the shelter before dawn."

This time, the supplies were significantly more than last time. After everyone had loaded the boat, they set off one after another. The order was a little different this time. Liu Mingliang and his deputy Zhou Bin, who were originally on the fourth boat, were now the last boat to depart.

The trip there went smoothly, but on the way back, we encountered the same kayak again at the same spot as yesterday. This instantly turned the relaxed atmosphere tense, and both boats stared nervously at each other when they met.

The kayak moored here had four people on board this time. The boat was still bare and there was nothing on it, so it didn't look like they were salvaging anything.

Everyone returned safely to the shelter before dawn and anchored the boat.

Shen Xi stepped forward and said, "Tomorrow is the last trip. Everyone, thank you for your hard work. We'll set off early tomorrow night."

After everyone noted the time, they dragged their tired bodies home, walking carefully between floors so as not to wake anyone.

When Jiang Yao got home, she thought about how she had gone out in the rain for two consecutive days and realized she still needed to take precautions to keep warm.
