Even if she really kicked the person out, she still couldn't feel at ease entering the space; in short, it was just annoying.
Niu Dazhuang still had a friendly expression: "I'm just worried about you. You are our base commander. If something really happens to you, my brother and Song Xian will definitely not let me off easily."
Li Ke wanted to say, "Forget it, everyone needs someone else to survive in this world. She's not that important. The safe zone has already provided a way to survive."
But in the end she didn't say anything. Niu Dazhuang moved closer to her and asked with concern, "You seem a bit troubled. Do you want to talk to me about what's wrong? Are you worried about Jin Ce and the others?"
Li Ke frowned: "Turn your back. I feel hot and annoyed when I get close to you."
Niu Dazhuang obediently turned his back, fanning himself with his fan without stopping. Li Ke had indeed thought about the Golden Book.
The people at the base said that Jin Ce was among the first group of people to be singled out and taken away, and he was also the person the kidnappers specifically wanted. At that time, Li Ke's first thought was of Boss Cheng and the Poison Fang mercenaries who had escaped, as they both knew the value of Jin Ce.
Of course, besides that, it cannot be ruled out that someone within their base betrayed the information, which led to Jin Ce's capture.
Another point is that of the more than 8,000 hostages at their base, 4,000 were rescued. However, this is the number reported by the military. Was Jin Ce actually rescued? Or was he really taken to another place by the kidnappers?
Li Ke thought of the new faces on the island. Even in the apocalypse where survival was a struggle, the power of a nation was still beyond the imagination of an individual.
If the higher-ups take a liking to the Golden Book's abilities and decide not to return the person to their base, that's possible. After all, there was a time when divine medicine was all the rage, and Li Ke doesn't believe that the higher-ups are unaware of its existence.
Li Ke took a short nap, then sat up and told Niu Dazhuang to rest while she stayed by his side.
Niu Dazhuang wasn't tired, and asked Li Ke to confirm, "Are we really going to turn back? I also know the route of one of the bandits. We can find another way and go find them ourselves."
Li Ke calmed down a bit and shook his head, saying, "No, they will definitely report that we left the village and went back. Staying outside for too long will easily arouse their suspicion."
Niu Dazhuang just wanted to spend more time with Li Ke, so after hearing her words, he obediently said, "Then let's go back and wait for news."
Li Ke turned to Niu Dazhuang and said, "Don't have any improper thoughts about me, and don't show it, otherwise I will get annoyed with you, hate you, and never want to see you again."
Niu Dazhuang's eyes widened: "Am I really that bad?"
Li Ke rolled her eyes at him: "You're not bad, it's just that I hate men, especially men who have feelings for me."
Niu Dazhuang said with some indignation, "I've already been so sensible and know when to advance and retreat, why do you have to be so guarded and leave me with no hope at all?"
Li Ke: "It's because you're so sensible that I'm saying this upfront. I'm already being very tolerant of you. If it were anyone else, I would have thrown them away long ago."
After saying that, Li Ke suddenly felt a strong urge: "Why don't we go back separately?"
Niu Dazhuang said in horror, "Don't go too far. Even if we take a step back, we're still teammates. I've worked hard all the way and you're going to abandon me."
Seeing Niu Dazhuang's reaction, Li Ke quickly stopped him, saying, "I was just saying. Once you've rested, let's get going."
