"Wow, it smells so good..." Xia Xiaoying on the side had already broken the sweet potato open. The sweet aroma of the sweet potato instantly spread in the air, making people unable to stop swallowing their saliva.
"Thank you Ruoruo..."
"Ruoruo, I love you so much..."
Qi Jiang and the others looked at the sweet potatoes in Xia Xiaoying's hand, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, golden, soft, sweet and delicious. They felt extremely hungry and no longer hesitated. They went to Chen Ruoruo, picked up the roasted sweet potatoes, sat not far away, broke them open and started eating them in small bites.
The aroma of sweet potatoes in the air became stronger, and Qi Jiang and the others' frequent breathing, chewing, and exclamations made people unable to suppress their greed.
"It smells so good. I won't be polite then. Thank you..." Li Jun smelled the fragrance in the air, pushed aside the people blocking his way, took a sweet potato, said thank you, and sat aside to eat it.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up, it's enough..." Chen Ruoruo looked at Zhou Zhiguo, Han Xiao and others who were still standing aside.
"Thank you..." Tao Wei and others also went up to get the roasted sweet potatoes, sat aside and started eating.
Zhou Zhiguo looked at the sweet potato in his hand, then looked at the group of people sitting around the campfire, their faces black with satisfaction and happiness, and then looked at Chen Ruoruo beside him, who was still digging in the fire with the wooden stick in her hand.
"Ruoruo, you..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at Chen Ruoruo and spoke after a moment.
"What?" Chen Ruoruo stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Zhou Zhiguo.
"I'm... fine..." Zhou Zhiguo looked into Chen Ruoruo's dark, clear eyes, the dim light of the fire dancing in them. He sighed but didn't say anything. If Chen Ruoruo really didn't have any supplies this time, it didn't matter. As long as she was safe, that was all that mattered.
"Let's talk after we finish eating..." Chen Ruoruo looked at Zhou Zhiguo, her eyes fixed on the half-eaten roasted sweet potato in his hand.
"...Thank you..." Zhou Zhiguo looked down at the roasted sweet potato in his hand, paused, and said to her.
"..." Chen Ruoruo didn't say anything, but just used a stick to poke the fire and pulled out a lot of roasted sweet potatoes from it.
Finally, the group had almost finished eating. Everyone touched their round stomachs and sat aside to rest in silence.
"Ruoruo, it's just... I have a question..." Li Xue couldn't help but ask from the side.
"Well, you say..." Chen Ruoruo propped herself up from leaning on Erlangzi and said to Li Xue.
"Do you... have fire-related abilities?" Li Xue asked Chen Ruoruo in a low voice, pointing at the fire not far away.
"..." After hearing Li Xue's words, everyone present looked at Chen Ruoruo at the same time, staring at her without blinking, waiting for her answer.
Han Xiao and his companions didn't even dare to breathe. They stared at Chen Ruoruo. Although they found it hard to believe, it seemed natural to her. They stared at the fire not far away, holding their breath as they waited for Chen Ruoruo's answer.
"I don't know how..." Chen Ruoruo looked at Li Xue in confusion and answered.
"What about this fire..." Xia Xiaoying asked, pointing at the fire.
"Use a lighter..." Chen Ruoruo looked at them and answered as a matter of course.
"Lighter?" The group looked at each other. It had been a long time since they had seen such a thing.
"Hey..." Seeing the expressions of the people around her, Chen Ruoruo took out a lighter from the side, slid her thumb, and the thing in her hand caught fire.
"Oh... I misunderstood..." Li Xue touched the tip of her nose and said embarrassedly.
"It's okay..." Chen Ruoruo waved her hand and said.
"It's not advisable to stay here for long. We should leave quickly and reunite with the main force..." Zhou Zhiguo said after looking at the watch on his wrist, and stood up to prepare to take everyone away.
The group of people had no objection to this, but it was only at this moment that they began to feel scared. After all, this forest was the territory of the mutant black bear, and it might come looking for them soon.
Just now, they were not on guard at all and just sat together happily eating roasted sweet potatoes. They were too careless. Everyone stood up and prepared to leave.
"Captain Zhou... let's go that way..." Chen Ruoruo stood up and pointed at a dark forest not far away.
“…” Zhou Zhiguo looked at her in confusion.
"..." Chen Ruoruo didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhou Zhiguo with a firm gaze.
The flickering firelight danced on the two people's faces, making it impossible to see their expressions.
"Okay..." Then, Zhou Zhiguo finally gave in and led a group of people to the woods that Chen Ruoruo had just pointed to.
Although the group didn't understand why Zhou Zhiguo would listen to Chen Ruoruo without any hesitation, they still followed Zhou Zhiguo with great trust.
Qi Jiang, Han Xiao and others followed Chen Ruoruo one after the other. No one spoke along the way. Only the sound of footsteps and breathing could be heard.
After walking for about 10 to 20 minutes, the people walking in front suddenly noticed something unusual.
"Captain Zhou, there seems to be something unusual ahead..." Tao Wei suddenly stopped and looked at the distance, and whispered to Zhou Zhiguo behind him.
"Wait here, I'll go take a look..." Zhou Zhiguo said, and without waiting for Tao Wei to respond, he walked forward quickly.
"Captain Zhou, be careful..." Tao Wei looked at Zhou Zhiguo's back and whispered.
"What is that?" Ren Xuefeng came forward and asked Tao Wei in a low voice in the light of the fire, looking at the place not far away.
"I don't know..." Tao Wei looked at the person next to him and shook his head.
Everyone in the group, except Chen Ruoruo, stood there anxiously waiting for Zhou Zhiguo. Han Xiao and Qi Jiang's eyes were not on Chen Ruoruo. Although they had some guesses in their minds, they were still uncertain and could only stand there waiting anxiously and nervously.
Soon Zhou Zhiguo came back.
"Captain Zhou, what's going on? What's ahead..." Wei Yangguo couldn't wait to step forward and ask Zhou Zhiguo.
"It's supplies..." Zhou Zhiguo concealed his fear and spoke out loud, while his eyes unconsciously looked at Chen Ruoruo who was riding on Erha.
"What? Is it true?" Ren Xuefeng asked in disbelief, then pulled Tao Wei over to take a look.
After hearing Zhou Zhiguo's voice, Qi Jiang, Han Xiao and others were also shocked, but they all looked at Chen Ruoruo at the same time, and then quickly looked away.
"Really, there really are supplies, more than before..." After Ren Xuefeng came back, he shouted excitedly to the group in front of him.
"Keep your voice down..." Tao Wei, who was following behind Ren Xuefeng, patted him on the shoulder and said to him.
"Oh oh..." Ren Xuefeng came back to his senses and looked around subconsciously, but he still couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Captain Zhou, what should we do now?" Tao Wei asked Zhou Zhiguo.
