"Ruoruo, are you okay?" Xia Xiaoying, Li Xue and others ran to Chen Ruoruo breathlessly, looked at Chen Ruoruo who was surrounded in the middle, and asked with concern.
"Yeah..." Chen Ruoruo nodded
"That's good, we'll come over to protect you too..." Xia Xiaoying and her group breathed a sigh of relief and then said.
"I...you guys can do whatever you want..." Chen Ruoruo looked at the few people surrounding her, including Han Xiao and others. Xia Xiaoying and the others were also there. Besides, Chen Ruoruo knew that there was no danger around, so she just let them do what they wanted.
Chen Ruoruo watched them surround her, observing her surroundings vigilantly, using their bodies to build a human wall shield for her, and looked at the huge figures of Erlangzi and Wolf King behind them.
Although this would not have any effect, Chen Ruoruo was still somewhat moved when she saw their nervous yet determined expressions.
Everyone stood there nervously on guard, time passed by minute by minute, and there was silence all around as if nothing had happened, but precisely because of this, everyone was even more nervous.
About twenty minutes later, a figure finally appeared from the darkness ahead of the convoy.
Zhou Zhiguo, who was standing at the front of the team, felt nervous when he saw this. He was about to throw the fireball in his hand, but when he saw the face of the person coming, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This person was Tao Wei, who had gone to the front to investigate the situation.
"Captain Zhou, what happened?" Tao Wei looked at the group of people on high alert in front of the convoy in confusion, and quickly quickened his pace and rushed forward to shout at him.
"What's going on up ahead?" Zhou Zhiguo asked immediately.
"Captain Zhou, the people who are going to pick us up at the base have arrived. They are behind us..." Tao Wei said to Zhou Zhiguo while panting and pointing behind him.
"That's good..." Zhou Zhiguo finally relaxed after hearing this, and the murderous aura around him also disappeared for the most part.
Afterwards, Zhou Zhiguo informed the team members in various locations of the convoy via intercom that the base had sent someone to pick them up: "Attention everyone! The base has sent someone to pick us up, and they're on their way. Please remain vigilant..."
His voice was calm and firm, like a shot of adrenaline injected into the hearts of every team member.
After hearing the news, everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little, but they did not relax their vigilance against the surrounding environment.
After all, in this environment full of dangers and unknowns, we can never be careless at any time.
"I've finally waited for it..." Li Xue couldn't help but say excitedly.
"Well, but we still have to be careful and not let others take advantage of us." Xia Xiaoying reminded.
The convoy continued to move forward, and the team members' mood gradually calmed down. After walking forward for about twenty minutes, everyone heard Zhou Zhiguo's voice again on the walkie-talkie.
"The people who are going to pick us up are here..." Zhou Zhiguo said again through the intercom.
Everyone felt a little relieved when they saw the familiar teammates from the base coming. Now that there were enough people following the car, everyone felt the pressure on them was instantly relieved a lot.
Finally, on the third day, in the middle of the night, the convoy arrived safely at the base. Once the entire convoy had entered the base, everyone's worries finally settled.
Fortunately, at this time, most people in the base, except those on duty, had already rested. Furthermore, Zhou Zhiguo and the others were particularly cautious, trying to avoid making loud noises when driving into the base.
After driving the truck to the vicinity of the warehouse, Zhou Zhiguo asked the other team members to stay outside to guard and prevent irrelevant people from approaching and inquiring easily. Only core members such as Han Xiao, Qi Jiang and Tao Wei were left outside the warehouse to unload the supplies from the carriage.
Chen Ruoruo brought a few people to watch from the side. After entering the base, she checked the situation outside again. After making sure that there was no problem, she withdrew all her consciousness that had been probing out. After she completely relaxed, she felt exhausted.
"Captain Zhou, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'm going to go back and rest..." Chen Ruoruo said to Zhou Zhiguo, yawning and drooping her eyes, looking a little tired.
"Well...you should go and have a rest..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at Chen Ruoruo for a moment, it was rare to see fatigue on her face.
"Ruoruo, are you okay?" Qi Jiang also noticed that something was wrong with Chen Ruoruo and came forward to ask.
"Yes, Ruoruo, are you okay? Are you tired?" Xia Xiaoying, Li Xue and others asked with concern. It was obvious that they looked even worse than Chen Ruoruo, with bruises all over their eyes.
"Miss Chen, how are you?" Han Xiao also came forward and asked Chen Ruoruo.
"It's okay... It's okay... You guys go ahead and do your work, I'll go down and rest first." Chen Ruoruo looked at the continuous concern from this group of people and felt a little overwhelmed. Then, she quickly patted Erlangzi's butt and took a few of them back to her residence to rest.
Seeing Chen Ruoruo running away quickly on Erlangzi's back, the few people had to stop talking. After that, the group began to use their supernatural powers to unload the supplies from the cargo boxes and put them into the warehouse.
"Captain Han, why do you care what she does? We didn't see her do anything along the way. What could happen to her? A bunch of people are worrying about nothing..." Li Jun looked at Chen Ruoruo's figure, walked up to Han Xiao and said carelessly with some dissatisfaction.
"You really only eat and don't use your brain..." Han Xiao stretched out his hand and was about to punch the guy in front of him, but seeing that he was covered in dust, he finally withdrew his hand. He just pointed at him, looked him up and down for a moment, paused, and said, then turned and left.
"What? Captain Han, what do you mean?" Li Jun asked dissatisfiedly as he looked at Han Xiao's back as he left.
"Okay, stop shouting..." Tao Dan whispered from the side.
"What does Captain Han mean? Are you saying I'm stupid?" Li Jun asked in confusion.
"..." Tao Dan looked at the pair of round eyes and turned his head away without intending to answer his question.
"If you are not stupid, who is stupid?" Ma Qian said from the side.
"What do you mean?" Li Jun heard Ma Qian's words, breathing heavily through his nose, and was about to rush forward.
"Li Jun... didn't you find that this mission went smoothly?" Jiang Yang said from the side
"Not only was it very smooth, but we also gained a lot..." Mu Jiao said as she controlled her special powers to load and unload supplies.
"Tell me in detail..." Li Jun also calmed down and asked again.
"Not only did we have a very smooth journey, but we even had to deal with the ghost vines without much effort. Not only that, we also found so many supplies, and most importantly, there were almost no casualties in this mission..." Ma Qian said slowly from the side.
"It seems, that's true..." Li Jun said excitedly after hearing Ma Qian's words and thinking for a moment.
