Gu Qingqing and Zhang Jing returned to the car and brought their food over to eat with everyone.

Ye Yunxi returned to the car and had Yunzi follow her up. She took some food from her spatial storage and fed it to Yunzi, letting it finish eating before getting out of the car.

When they got off the bus again, Gu Qingqing, Zhang Jing, and Chen Zhe had already prepared self-heating hot pot and self-heating rice, and they ate and chatted.

Chen Zhe took a bite of rice, looked up and asked Ye Yunxi.

"Sister Yunxi, what happened to you on the mountain? You told us to leave as soon as we came down."

"It's nothing, I just felt uncomfortable on the mountain. Also, when you guys were looking for a way up the mountain, a few of us looked around and felt it wasn't very safe."

Gu Qingqing continued Ye Yunxi's words. "Yes, when the three of us went to check nearby just now, we always felt a chill down our spines. After we went up the mountain and came back down, we still felt uneasy."

Lu Hengyi frowned. "It's good that you're all safe on the mountain."

Chen Zhe nodded in agreement and continued.

"Luckily we left that awful place. This place doesn't feel the same anymore, right?"

Ye Yunxi shook her head. "No more."

"That's good. Let's eat quickly. We've been traveling all day, and everyone must be tired. Let's set up the tents and go rest as soon as possible."

Once Chen Zhe learned that they were safe, he urged them to eat quickly and get some rest.

About ten minutes later, they finished their dinner. Zhang Jing picked up their bowls and chopsticks, intending to throw them away, but Ye Yunxi stopped her.

"Ah Jing, wait a minute. Don't leave our bowls and chopsticks lying around. We need to rest outside for a while, and we're worried that the smell of these food containers might drift elsewhere and attract wild animals or survivors."

Zhang Jing asked, "What will happen to these lunchboxes?"

Ye Yunxi told her to wait a moment, then ran back to the RV, took out two black garbage bags from her storage space, and got out of the vehicle to speak to Zhang Jing.

"Use this, tie two layers of garbage bags together, and there won't be any smell coming out."

"Okay, thank you. I'll take care of it. You can go do other things."

Zhang Jing accepted the trash bag from Ye Yunxi and thanked her.

Ye Yunxi nodded and went to set up the tent with Fu Heng.

There were eight of them, plus a dog. They only set up four tents, which were close together. Xuan Yu and Lu Hengyi slept in one tent, and everyone had a sleeping bag.

After they had all set up their tents, they took their sleeping bags inside.

Lu Hengyi, Fu Heng, and Zhang Haiyi drove around their tents, forming a triangular area.

After parking the car, I closed all the windows. I got out of the car, closed the door, and went into the tent to rest.

The eight of them were divided into four teams, rotating every five hours. The first day's team consisted of Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng, as well as Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing.

Although it's the midnight sun and there's no night, we still have to keep watch just in case.

The first class consists of Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng, and the second class consists of Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing.

Tomorrow, Zhang Haiyi and Gu Qingqing will be replaced, along with Xuan Yu and Lu Hengyi.

Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng took Yunzi on duty while the others went to sleep. It was 10:30 now, and they would stay on duty until 3:30 or 4:00.

Ye Yunxi chatted with Fu Heng, feeling somewhat bored.

"Aheng, when you were on the mountain, you suddenly stopped and looked behind you. Did you discover something?"

Fu Heng shook his head as he recalled what happened on the mountain.

"We didn't find anything, but I always felt like someone was following us as we went down the mountain. But when I turned around, there was nothing there. Maybe it was just my imagination."

Ye Yunxi also recalled that when she was at the foot of the mountain, she also felt that someone was watching her, but when she looked around, she did not find anyone.

"In the afternoon, when we were checking around, we felt something was wrong. I also felt like someone was watching us, but when I checked, I didn't find anyone."

Also, when we were coming down the mountain, I felt like someone was watching us.

Ye Yunxi shared her feelings with Fu Heng, and then, as if she had thought of something, she continued.

“Aheng, you said we all have this feeling, could it be that someone is really watching us? Or is it that the person watching us is Yanluo?”

Upon hearing Yan Luo's name, Fu Heng looked at Ye Yunxi and spoke.

"It's not impossible. Maybe he knows we're looking for him, and he might be hiding somewhere watching us."

"Then why doesn't he show himself?"

Fu Heng spread his hands. "I want to know that too. Okay, Xixi, you take a nap, I'll keep watch and study the map to see how to get there."

"You should sleep. You drive during the day. I'll look at the map and give you directions tomorrow."

Fu Heng decided not to postpone it any longer; he was indeed a bit tired. "Then I'll take a nap first, and call me if anything comes up."

"Okay, go to sleep now and get some rest."

Fu Heng kissed Ye Yunxi, his lips curving upwards, before finding a comfortable position to lie down. Soon after, his even breathing could be heard.

Ye Yunxi told Yunzi to go to sleep, and then took out a paper map and a tablet from her spatial storage, looking at the two maps to see what the differences were.

However, she found that it basically matched the description. Ye Yunxi took out a pen and marked the cave on the paper map.

Starting from here, there's a cave five kilometers ahead on the mountain, and a little further ahead, there are two more caves. We'll go check them out after breakfast tomorrow.

We can also see some mountain villages; we'll visit those villages too, just in case we find something.

Ye Yunxi marked about a dozen mountains with caves and passed through some villages on the paper map.

Their route will also pass by the official base; we'll ask them if they want to go.

After sitting for a long time, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth, so I took out a few fruit candies from my storage space to eat.

He even took out his earphones, plugged them into the tablet, and started playing a TV series.

When Yunzi heard the noise, she only looked up briefly, and when she realized it was her human making the sound, she stopped looking at her and went back to sleep.

Time flew by. After watching six episodes of the TV series, it was around 2:50 a.m. During this time, Fu Heng did not wake up.

It was almost time, so Ye Yunxi put her tablet and earphones into her storage space. Just as she finished putting them away, Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing came out of the tent.

Chen Zhe glanced at Fu Heng, who was sleeping on the ground, and whispered to Ye Yunxi.

"Sister Yunxi, tell Heng to go back to the tent to sleep. We'll keep watch now. Breakfast will be served at eight in the morning. We'll call you when it's time to eat."

Ye Yunxi didn't refuse; she wanted to sleep a little longer, as she was tired from hiking all day and really needed a good rest.

"Then I'll leave it to you. If anything happens, wake us up immediately."

"Don't worry, Yunxi, we will. Call Heng-ge and go back to the tent to sleep," Zhang Jing whispered to Ye Yunxi.

Ye Yunxi nodded, gently patted Fu Heng, and whispered.

“Aheng, let’s go sleep in the tent. Azhe and Ajing will be on duty now.”
