"Should we ask Shi Yin for instructions?" Qin Jin leaned close to Gu Changge's ear and whispered, "If it's her, she probably won't stand idly by."

"That is, if she were still here." Gu Changge put his arm around Lin Beiyue's shoulder: "The young lady that Shi Yin took a liking to, if I'm not mistaken, Shi Yin has left again, hasn't she?"

Lin Beiyue: "..."

Qin Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and he noticed that the people around him didn't seem to care about what they were saying. He waved his hand, telling everyone to go out and rest, while the three of them would keep watch outside.

These three were the strongest in the convoy, so the others had nothing to worry about and gradually went back inside to rest.

"What do you mean? Shi Yin isn't here?" Compared to the two girls, Qin Jin, although Shi Yin had glanced at him a few times, was an outsider and didn't know anything about Shi Yin's whereabouts.

All we know is that things are peaceful within Yanlong now; all else is to await orders.

"Uncle Qin, that's why I say you're my confidant, and I'm the regimental commander." Gu Changge winked smugly, "That's called having a broad perspective and keen observation skills~"

“I haven’t spent half as much time at the Doomsday Beacon as you have, and I haven’t even gotten to know half of the people in the Doomsday Shadow Squad. You’re already at an advantage, aren’t you?” Qin Jin mercilessly exposed Gu Changge’s attempt to take credit: “What exactly happened?”

"Okay, so Shi Yin is a homebody who doesn't like to move around. She prefers to stay in her office except when she's fighting. The reason she was so popular in her past life was because she always came out in times of trouble. Who has ever seen her at other times?"

Speaking of this, Gu Changge felt a little helpless.

The past life that Gu Changge mentioned is different from Shi Yin's. For Shi Yin, it is her first life, but for Gu Changge, it is her previous life.

In her previous life, Gu Changge was also betrayed by relatives and family members, but she was strong-willed and quick to realize her mistakes. In addition, Qin Jin was willing to help her, so she got through the miserable period quickly and smoothly.

Then they joined hands with Qin and Jin to establish a shelter.

Unlike other reborn people who hoarded supplies, Gu Changge and Qin Jin truly earned their resources through their own hard work. They built a shelter and survived until the later stages of the story. If they hadn't been too reckless and hit a wall, they might have lived even longer.

Gu Changge wasn't some hot-blooded girl who was eager to charge ahead. When the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse appeared, she led her people far away and didn't get involved at all.

Shi Yin was just unlucky; the first Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse happened right on her doorstep.

However, Tokine also became famous because of this battle. After the disaster, Tokine built the largest shelter at almost lightning speed.

However, the reason why Shion retained her fame was because she always appeared in times of trouble. Wherever there was a major sudden disaster, Shion could always be seen.

However, according to the rumors Gu Changge received, it seems that it's because Shi Yin has been looking for someone.

“In my previous life, I only saw her during various calamities. Otherwise, she always stayed in her room. No matter who you asked, she would say the same thing. She wouldn’t come out unless there was something wrong. The shelter was actually managed by her father and her sister,” Gu Changge said.

“Although she’s a homebody, you guys aren’t. Freya, Xiao Changning, Nanzhu, you, Ji Chuan… you all wish you could be with Shi Yin every day, like a tether to her. But lately, you’ve all been acting too normally. The only possibility is that she’s not here at all.”

"Shi Yin has family?" Lin Beiyue was taken aback.

"...Don't curse people like that, okay?" Gu Changge was speechless: "We're just unlucky."

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I was just a little surprised." Lin Beiyue scratched his head. "I've never seen Shi Yin leave the Doomsday Beacon, and she never talks about it with her family. I thought she was like me..."

I'm all alone...

"So what does Captain Lin plan to do next?" Gu Changge spread his hands: "Of course, if we really have to give up Shelter No. 6, I have no objection. After all, our priority is safety."

“Sometimes I feel like I should listen to you,” Lin Beiyue said with a wry smile. “I feel like you are much better than me in terms of experience and overall perspective.”

“Shi Yin’s decision has its reasons. I think I understand why she made you my captain.” Gu Changge put his hands on his hips, seemingly unconcerned: “Probably because my abilities can’t handle my audacity.”

Gu Changge was very clear about this. If she had enough strength, she could indeed make a name for herself. Gu Changge never underestimated herself.

However, if she makes a mistake in assessing the combat strength, the result will be the same as in her previous life: the entire army will be wiped out.

“You’re different. You’re much more cautious and listen to advice. You have strong comprehensive consideration and on-the-spot adaptability, which is why I made you the captain and me the strategist.” Gu Changge put his arm around Lin Beiyue’s shoulder. “If you ask me, you just lack confidence.”

Lin Beiyue felt somewhat helpless. Confidence isn't something that can be built up overnight. She already had problems in her family of origin, and in her previous life, she was tricked and died so tragically. Now, to say she's stronger...

Let's forget about it.

“I was thinking of splitting up into two groups. Some people in our exploration team are not helpful and will only distract us.” Lin Beiyue thought for a while and said, “Why don’t we let the other exploration teams return to their posts first, and let those strong people form a rescue team to come to our aid? We can hold out for a while.”

"Moreover, the country's warehouses contain a number of advanced missiles, which should be usable in this special situation. I will send the location and apply for permission, so that the country can provide us with long-range fire support."

"Okay, let's do it that way." Gu Changge yawned. "But it looks like there's no chance tonight. Let's get some sleep first."

“I’ll keep watch, you all go,” Qin Jin said.

"What are you doing keeping watch? This isn't your job. Don't take over the work of ordinary people, okay?" Gu Changge rolled her eyes and pulled Qin Jin away: "You should do what you're supposed to do in your position. Don't make it difficult to distinguish between superiors and subordinates."

Qin Jin thought about it and agreed, so he simply went back to rest.

Everyone slept soundly through the night without any dreams, and when they looked outside the door the next morning, there was nothing unusual.

Everyone set up the pot again. Breakfast was simple: a big pot of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and plenty of steamed buns. Even those who didn't like steamed buns forced themselves to eat two just to fill their stomachs.

The people in this family visit team were all of very high quality.

I heard that the exploration team was going to part ways with everyone this morning. Although the others expressed their reluctance and worry, they did not try to persuade them to stay. They waved goodbye before leaving, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Most of the exploration team members went to the next city to settle down with the family-finding team.

Lin Beiyue originally planned to only let Gu Changge and Qin Jin accompany her to form the strongest trio to explore, but Yan Qi and another teammate insisted on staying behind.

Yan Qi's superpower leveled up after his brush with death, reaching level C-, which means he's almost a top-tier fighter. His other teammate is Yun Ce, Yan Qi's good brother, whose superpower is wind.

So, the five of them formed a team and set off for Shelter No. 6 while informing Song Yunshan.
