Suddenly, Jiang Yanyan noticed the group of little girls in the corner.
Seeing the hideous scars on their faces and their empty eyes, Jiang Yanyan slowly stopped smiling.
He whispered, "Dad, are you sad for those girls?"
“Dad, I’ll go talk to them! I understand how they feel and how they are right now. If they’re happy, you won’t feel sad for them anymore.”
Jiang Wu was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Yan Yan, do you know what Daddy is thinking?"
Jiang Yanyan nodded and said, "Because Dad is a very good person! He can't stand seeing girls suffer!"
Jiang Wu sighed and said with a wry smile, "You silly girl, your father is not a good person at all."
Jiang Yanyan shook her head and said proudly, "He's a really good person! Not only do I think so, but many people in the base say so too! They all say you're a great leader!"
After saying that, Jiang Yanyan glanced at the group of girls again and said with a smile, "Dad, just watch me, I'm confident I can make them happy!"
Jiang Wu was silent for a moment, then frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Yan Yan, you're not thinking of reopening your wounds, are you?"
"Dad, there's a saying, 'like attracts like,' and since I'm younger than them, I'm well-suited to advise them. Also, I'm very strong now because I have a great dad!"
Fearing that Jiang Wu would disagree, Jiang Yanyan said earnestly, "Dad, I really want to help you with your work."
Jiang Wu stared blankly at Jiang Yan Yan.
She's only ten years old.
Why do you know so much?
Why are your words and actions so mature?
Is it because of the apocalypse, and the many things that happened?
Or is there another reason?
After a while, Jiang Wu patted Jiang Yan Yan's head, sighed and said, "Then go ahead, but Yan Yan, you have to be careful."
Jiang Yanyan nodded and said softly, "Dad, could you please not listen? I don't want you to hear anything bad."
Jiang Wu laughed and gently patted Jiang Yanyan's head, saying, "Silly girl, I respect your privacy, but we need to leave someone here to protect you."
Then, Jiang Wu stood up and called out to Nangong Wenyao, "Wenyao, come out here."
Gan Wei and Nangong Wenyao were both taken aback when they saw Jiang Wu.
Nangong Wenyao's face suddenly flushed slightly. She glanced at Gan Wei and quickly stood up and walked towards the restaurant entrance.
Gan Wei pursed her lips and stared at Jiang Wu until his figure disappeared through the doorway.
"Aunt Gan, let me talk to them." Jiang Yanyan smiled sweetly.
Gan Wei snapped out of her daze, looked at Jiang Yanyan, and subconsciously said, "Okay..."
On the other side, there were busy crowds in front of the main building.
Jiang Wu and Nangong Wenyao strolled through the woods behind the main building.
Nangong Wenyao was no longer wearing the crocodile skin trench coat and snake scale armor that the base had issued to the heads of various departments. Instead, she was wearing a women's beige thin trench coat.
The trench coat was perfectly tailored, outlining her slender waist and full bust.
The knee-length hem of her dress swayed with her steps, exuding elegance and grace.
Beneath the hem of her dress, a pair of long, slender legs were fair and smooth.
What's most captivating is her oval face, which is both innocent and alluring, yet also pitiful and endearing.
Jiang Wu only glanced at Nangong Wenyao twice before not daring to look at her any longer.
This woman has such an eerie aura.
Clearing his throat, Jiang Wu asked casually, "When will the wall at the valley entrance be completed? Once the wall is finished and the defenses are in place, I'll have to lead the field operations company to the Donghu base to scout out their strength."
Nangong Wenyao whispered, "If it's just the wall, it will take more than three weeks if we have enough materials. But with so many new people joining this time, if we speed things up, we can shorten the time by at least a week."
"However, we plan to add a few more watchtowers, so the timeline will have to be extended. But everything here at the valley entrance will definitely be completed within a month."
"A month? That long?" Jiang Wu couldn't help but wonder.
The Donghu base already has nearly 30,000 people. Who knows how many there will be in another month?
However, Jiang Wu dared not go to the Donghu base until the base had completed the construction of the defense facilities at the valley entrance.
Because we don't know how long we'll be gone.
This world is in chaos right now.
They not only have to defend against hordes of zombies and powerful evolved beasts, but also guard against attacks from their own kind.
If the base defenses aren't built properly, who knows if it might be raided the moment you leave?
and.
Jiang Wu plans to bring Bai Feiming along on this trip to the Donghu base.
Leaving her alone at the base is truly cruel.
Without a powerful figure like Bai Feiming to oversee things, Huaxi Valley's base needs to take even better defensive measures.
Jiang Wu was still thinking.
Nangong Wenyao suddenly asked, "Chief, how long are you going to that Donghu base?"
Jiang Wu casually replied, "I don't know. At least we need to figure out what's going on over there, and then try to bring a group of people back to our base. I reckon it'll take quite a while."
Nangong Wenyao bit her lower lip and whispered, "Then, can I come along too?"
"What are you going to do? You're so weak and delicate, and you'll be in charge of the base's construction."
Jiang Wu looked at Nangong Wenyao with a hint of doubt.
Nangong Wenyao lowered her head, remained silent, and kept gently biting her soft, rosy lips.
Jiang Wu felt that her pitiful demeanor was even more intimidating, so he quickly composed himself and looked away, saying calmly, "Think of a way to speed up the process. If you have any needs, just let us know."
"I understand..." Nangong Wenyao responded weakly.
