People sipped the sweet potatoes, savoring them as if they were some rare delicacy. Even the sweet potato soup, which was left out, was eaten up. That night, everyone was excited. They knew that everything was starting to get better, and the sweet potato was proof of that.
Afterwards, the people in the base discovered that their abilities had improved significantly. They believed that it was due to the meat of the mutant black bear, so they became more enthusiastic about accepting missions.
They no longer refuse dangerous missions and are even willing to take risks to accept missions that are beyond their capabilities, so that they can obtain powerful mutant plants and animals to enhance their abilities.
That night, Zhou Zhiguo reported the details of the mission and Chen Ruoruo's gold-related supernatural powers to the leaders of the Long family and senior state officials via satellite phone.
They were greatly shocked after hearing this, and their attention to Chen Ruoruo increased sharply. They repeatedly told Zhou Zhiguo and his team to ensure her safety.
Han Xiao and others were clearly told that their ultimate goal was to protect Chen Ruoruo and that they should not do anything that might harm her for the sake of so-called scientific research. This was a key point that senior management repeatedly emphasized after the Jiang Yang incident.
After all, after these two missions, each base had basically received a certain amount of supplies. Although these supplies were not much, they brought new hope to everyone, and for a time, the various bases in Dragon Country were no longer stagnant.
After eating the supplies sent to them, the leaders and senior officials of Longguo no longer doubted the special effects of these supplies.
Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, protecting Chen Ruoruo is of vital importance. Perhaps she is indeed the key to reversing this crisis.
Three days passed. On this afternoon, Chen Ruoruo was sitting on a recliner, teasing Erlangzi and the Wolf King who were curled up at her feet, when she heard the howling of wolves outside.
“Ouch…”
After hearing the voice, Chen Ruoruo skillfully put away all the items in front of her, then stood up and walked around to the front of the small bungalow, where she saw Zhou Zhiguo and his men standing at the gate of the fence waiting.
"Captain Zhou, please come in..." Chen Ruoruo took a few steps forward and raised her hand to signal Zhou Zhiguo.
"..." After getting Chen Ruoruo's permission, Zhou Zhiguo opened the gate and came in with the people behind him. The few people who were shouting just now ran back to Chen Ruoruo very tactfully.
"Ruoruo, how have you been these past two days?" Zhou Zhiguo asked Chen Ruoruo. Due to his experience from the last mission, Zhou Zhiguo came to see her three days later this time.
"Well, not bad..." Chen Ruoruo curled her lips and smiled.
"This is for you. It's a cloak made of mutant black bear skin..." Zhou Zhiguo took the pile of shiny plush blankets from Tao Wei's arms.
"Captain Zhou, the weather is not cold now, there is no need for this..." Chen Ruoruo said as she looked at the black bear skins that Zhou Zhiguo had placed on the table beside her, piled up like a small mountain. Moreover, she had several such guys in her space, and she had not had time to take care of them after returning.
"Before, I saw you go out and lie down on the ground when you are tired. Although it is convenient, the ground is too cold and it is not good for a girl's health. Besides, you have a cold body, and it will be more painful in the long run... From now on, you should carry it with you when you go out..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at Chen Ruoruo and said.
“…” Chen Ruoruo looked at Zhou Zhiguo and blinked, as if she didn’t understand what he just said. After a moment, she reacted and stared at Zhou Zhiguo in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zhiguo asked again when he saw Chen Ruoruo looking at her without saying anything.
"Nothing, thank you for the cloak, I'll wear it later..." Chen Ruoruo looked at Zhou Zhiguo calmly and reached out to touch the cloak beside him. It was indeed natural fur, the fur was shiny and smooth, and it felt very soft and comfortable.
"Well, okay..." Zhou Zhiguo nodded in response.
"How are the injuries of those team members?" Chen Ruoruo asked.
"Well, I've basically recovered..." Zhou Zhiguo
"That's good..." Chen Ruoruo poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Zhou Zhiguo, then she picked up the glass in front of her and took a sip. The conversation between the two was basically a question and answer, which was a little awkward and uncomfortable.
"Ruoruo, thank you..." Zhou Zhiguo looked straight at Chen Ruoruo.
"What are you thanking me for?" Chen Ruoruo raised her hand and touched her nose and asked, lowering her head to avoid Zhou Zhiguo's sight.
"...Anyway, thank you for your help..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at Chen Ruoruo and deliberately turned his head away, still looking at her seriously and said.
If it weren't for Chen Ruoruo, they wouldn't have so many supplies. This batch of supplies is a blessing in disguise for the entire Dragon Country and various official bases. They not only bring new hope and vitality to the country, but also provide vital support to various official bases.
It is precisely because of this batch of precious supplies that everyone has rekindled their confidence and courage to face this end of the world.
Moreover, if it weren't for Chen Ruoruo, the two missions they had carried out before would probably have become extremely difficult, and they might even have been in a desperate situation with life and death and heavy losses. They might not have been able to eliminate the ghost vine and the mutant black bear. Zhou Zhiguo came here specifically to thank her.
Because she had been at the bottom of the food chain in the apocalypse in her previous life, she had seen too much despicable human nature, and her trust in people had long since collapsed and broken. Chen Ruoruo was also relatively introverted, so it was difficult for her to establish close trusting relationships with others, and she was not very good at handling various complicated interpersonal relationships.
"Are we going on another mission?" Chen Ruoruo turned her head and looked at Zhou Zhiguo seriously and asked.
"Ah? No... No..." Zhou Zhiguo's eyes trembled after hearing Chen Ruoruo's words, and he immediately denied it. He didn't expect that his sincere gratitude would be interpreted in a different way in her eyes.
"..." Chen Ruoruo looked at Zhou Zhiguo. In her memory, he basically came to her to tell her something. This time, she was a little confused.
"Anyway, I'm not here for a mission this time, I just came to see you..." Zhou Zhiguo looked into Chen Ruoruo's eyes and said with some annoyance.
He couldn't just say thank you for the supplies, or for helping them out of danger. Right now, everything was just speculation, and with so many people watching, there were some things he couldn't say.
"Well... here..." Chen Ruoruo frowned and looked at Zhou Zhiguo's angry expression, even her ears turned red. She reached into her pocket, took out a candy from the space and handed it to him.
"You..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at the hand that suddenly stretched out in front of him. In the white palm lay a beautiful candy wrapped in red sequined paper. He was stunned for a moment, and looked up to meet the pair of dark and clear almond eyes. Those eyes were like the calm water in an ancient well, quiet without the slightest fluctuation.
