After returning home, the group carried the purchased supplies inside.

Ye Yunxi took out three hiking backpacks, divided the supplies they had bought into three portions, and packed them into the backpacks.

They added some more supplies before filling the backpack.

I placed it next to the sofa and sat down to rest for a while.

Ye Yunxi took out her phone and checked the time; it was a little after three in the afternoon, almost four o'clock.

It's getting a bit hot, so I've decided to take out some dessert.

They took out four bowls of dessert from their space, one for each of the three people and the dog.

Hyun-woo was eating dessert for the first time, and he scooped up a small spoonful and put it in his mouth.

"This white tofu is delicious. It's topped with peanuts, raisins, hawthorn pieces, and more."

Ye Yunxi smiled and said, "This isn't white tofu, it's called double-skin milk."

Xuan Yu then realized it was called double-skin milk pudding. "Whatever it's called, as long as it tastes good."

Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng smiled but said nothing.

Soon it was time for dinner, and after eating, I went back to my room early.

Time flew by and the day of the meeting and departure arrived.

After getting up early in the morning, the three of them quickly ate breakfast, put their equipment in the trunk, Fu Heng drove, Ye Yunxi sat in the passenger seat, and Xuan Yu and Yun Zi sat in the back seat.

After locking the door, Fu Heng drove towards the base gate.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Yunxi and her group arrived at the base gate and saw many cars lined up.

When Gu Qingqing saw Ye Yunxi and the others arrive, she immediately got out of the car and ran over to greet them.

"Good morning, Sister Yunxi, Brother Heng, Xuanyu, and Yunzi!"

Ye Yunxi smiled and said, "Good morning, Qingqing."

Xuan Yu and Fu Heng also greeted Gu Qingqing with smiles.

Yunzi wagged its tail and barked at Gu Qingqing as a greeting.

Gu Qingqing asked them with a smile, "Sister Yunxi, have you had breakfast yet?"

"We've already eaten. What about you?"

Gu Qingqing nodded. "We've already eaten, Sister Yunxi. We'll walk behind you and follow you."

At this moment, Li Yan walked over and said with a smile.

"Qingqing, here's a walkie-talkie for you, so you can keep in touch later. And Yunxi, take one too."

Chen Zhe and his group arrived late, and their cars were lined up at the back. Ye Yunxi and Gu Qingqing were chatting when Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing got out of their car and came over to greet them.

"Good morning, Sister Yunxi, Brother Heng, Qingqing, Captain Li, and Xuanyu."

They also greeted Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing.

Li Yan handed Chen Zhe a walkie-talkie.

"Here you go, so we can contact you if anything comes up."

Chen Zhe took the walkie-talkie and nodded.

Li Yan told them to hurry back and sit down, as they were about to depart.

The group nodded and returned to their cars. After a few minutes, they heard Li Yan's voice coming from the walkie-talkie, shouting "Let's go!"

The convoy started moving slowly, with Ye Yunxi and her group at the very back. After the convoy moved ahead, Chen Zhe and Zhang Haiyi followed behind Ye Yunxi and her group.

I heard they're going to the Fifth Base this time, which is a bit far from our First Base.

But it's okay, it's the midnight sun now, they can take turns driving and rest along the way.

Ye Yunxi and the others were a little bored on the way. Xuan Yu asked Ye Yunxi for a tablet to watch TV series to pass the time.

Ye Yunxi took out a tablet from her spatial storage and gave it to Xuan Yu, then took one for herself and started watching.

Fu Heng couldn't watch TV dramas, so he could only drive quietly.

Time flies, and around 12 o'clock, Li Yan's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"We're driving for a while and looking for a place to rest."

After driving for more than an hour, they saw a house ahead that, apart from being a bit dilapidated, was a place where they could rest.

Li Yan's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Everyone, there's a house ahead. Let's rest here for a bit and set off in an hour."

When they reached the vicinity of the house, the entire convoy stopped, and everyone began to rest and regroup.

Zhang Jing and Gu Qingqing came to find Ye Yunxi to go to the restroom together, as it would be more convenient for the three girls to go together.

They found a secluded spot to relieve themselves and returned to their camp.

Fu Heng and the other boys were in charge of preparing lunch, and it was almost ready to eat when Ye Yunxi and the others returned. Ye Yunxi gave Yunzi some of their food to feed it.

They ate self-heating hot pot, and after finishing their meal, the boys went to the restroom.

After they returned and rested for a while, a call to set off came over the walkie-talkie.

Everyone returned to their cars, and the convoy moved forward slowly.

This time, they didn't stop along the way until after 8 p.m., when they finally stopped to rest, ate something simple, and then continued on their journey.

It was past 11 p.m. when we arrived at the entrance of the Fifth Base, where people were already waiting.

When the people from the Fifth Base saw them arrive, Li Yan got out of the car and spoke with them.

After exchanging a few words, Li Yan's voice came through the walkie-talkie, telling everyone to drive the car in.

The people from the Fifth Base guided them to park their car in the parking lot.

After all the cars were parked, everyone got out of their cars and stood in front.

Li Yan introduced them. "This is the assistant to the commander of the Fifth Base, surnamed Liu. If you need anything, just look for Assistant Liu."

"Yes," the soldiers replied in unison.

Assistant Liu arranged accommodations for them, telling them to rest early tonight and discuss matters again tomorrow morning.

Li Yan told them to take their belongings and follow the people from the Fifth Base.

At this moment, Lu Hengyi noticed Ye Yunxi and the others, and was somewhat surprised. What were they doing here?
