A few minutes later, a commotion broke out at the entrance of the base's stalls.
Jiang Nian'an and the other two, who were enjoying their snacks without a care in the world, all looked up at the entrance.
It was Ding Yuan who arrived with his men.
When the base team members around him saw Ding Yuan arrive, they all greeted him, "Hello, Captain Ding!"
Ding Yuan nodded to them and walked quickly toward Shen Nanxing and the others.
"Gentlemen, we meet again!"
Ding Yuan walked up to Chen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an, made a gesture of invitation, and smiled broadly.
"The base commander requests your presence."
After he finished speaking, he turned back to look at Bai Ruo.
"Miss, Miss Bai asked me to pass on a message to you, asking you to see her as soon as possible."
Bai Ruo sensed a chill in those simple words.
She lowered her eyes, bit her lip, stomped her foot, and turned to leave in a hurry.
Shen Nanxing lowered his head to ask Jiang Nian'an's opinion before looking up at Ding Yuan and saying, "Lead the way!"
A group of survivors had already gathered at the entrance of the base's stalls to watch the spectacle.
After Ding Yuan hurriedly ordered people to disperse the crowd, he led Jiang Nian'an and the other person towards the base chief of the Shanshi base.
When they encountered beautiful scenery, they didn't forget to enthusiastically introduce it to Jiang Nian'an and the other two.
Jiang Nian'an listened attentively, a look of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
She had walked this path that Ding Yuan led them down countless times in her previous life.
The journey will pass through mission points, supply depots, accommodation areas, and base training grounds.
Finally, there's the base chief's residence, nestled atop layers of steps.
They had now reached the accommodation area.
To the right is the highest-end accommodation area, apart from the villa area.
To her left were messy shacks and basements, where she had lived in her previous life, also known as the poor area.
The two sides are separated by a road less than ten meters wide, but their quality of life and environment are worlds apart.
"They're so pitiful~"
Xiao Longzhan looked at the poor area on his left, where many children of similar age to him were squatting by the houses.
They were dressed in rags, with large heads and small bodies, and were so thin that they barely had any flesh on them. Some of them even had tattered strips of cloth wrapped around their bodies, stained red with blood.
They each held a small, yellowish piece of something that looked like a biscuit, and were munching on it with relish.
Upon hearing Xiao Longzhan's words, Ding Yuan glanced to the lower left, then looked back at Xiao Longzhan, who was being held in Shen Nanxing's arms.
Compared to the fair-skinned, well-fed and carefree Xiao Longzhan, those children were indeed pitiful.
But compared to the children outside the base who are constantly struggling to find food and facing peril, these children living in the base are already quite fortunate.
At least they have food to eat, and there is almost no danger.
but--
Ding Yuan scratched his head, looking puzzled.
They hadn't seen each other for just one night and half a day, so how did these two suddenly have a child?
Half an hour later, Ding Yuan led the three to the highest point of the Shanshi base.
A two-story villa stands on top, which is where Liu Hua, the head of the Shanshi base, lives and works.
Jiang Nian'an looked up at the small Western-style building not far away.
They saw Liu Hua standing outside the building with a young girl who had her hair tied in a high ponytail, was wearing a black work uniform, and looked quite dashing.
Shen Nanxing followed Jiang Nian'an's gaze and glanced at Bai Zhenzhen.
"That's Bai Zhenzhen from the Bai family, one of the candidates to succeed the Bai family."
"Bai Zhenzhen..."
Jiang Nian'an repeated it softly, then looked at the two people standing in the shadows on the other side.
One of them even waved at her.
It's Luo Yi and his sister.
"Sister An'an~"
With a smile on her face and light steps, Luo Yue walked quickly toward Jiang Nian'an.
Luo Yi followed behind her, his curious gaze once again falling on Xiao Longzhan.
The little dragon, held in Shen Nanxing's arms, was quite content, shifting its small body and constantly turning its head to look around.
Shen Nanxing not only wasn't annoyed, but also frequently adjusted his holding position to make Xiaolongzhan more comfortable.
Luo Yi was surprised.
In his memory, Shen Nanxing was even less patient with his own younger generation.
Xiao Longzhan noticed his scrutiny and suddenly turned to Luo Yi, making a face at him.
He could tell that Luo Yi had no ill intentions; he was simply curious.
Hey!
Luo Yi chuckled; this little guy was quite interesting.
Bai Zhenzhen walked straight up to Shen Nanxing and spoke with a smile.
"Young Master Shen, it's been a long time!"
She then winked at Bai Ruo and Bai Chuan behind her, her somewhat androgynous voice carrying a sharp edge.
"My people were ignorant and offended me in the past..."
However, considering our two families have been friends for generations, should we give them another chance?
"We're sorry, Second Young Master Shen, please forgive us!"
At the same time, Bai Ruo and Bai Chuan stepped forward, their heads bowed low, their eyes flashing with resentment.
Although their status in the Bai family was not as high as Bai Zhenzhen's, they were still prominent figures.
Now he's being forced to bow his head and admit his mistake in front of so many people.
Shen Nanxing glanced at them, then looked at Bai Zhenzhen, his voice cold, "Did they offend me?"
Xiao Longzhan gave a perfectly coordinated cold snort, "They offended me!"
Bai Zhenzhen was taken aback and turned her gaze to Xiao Longzhan.
She had already learned from Bai Ruo and the other person that Shen Nanxing was accompanied by a girl, and that the girl had a younger brother.
Their conflict with Shen Nanxing stemmed from a dispute over supplies with the girl's younger brother.
But they didn't tell her that the little brother was a tiny little rascal!
