They happened to encounter another group of contestants, the botany PhD and his temporary teammate.
The doctor was very interested in some of the rare plants that Zixi identified and had a few words with her.
Mo Chen leaned against a tree trunk in the distance, arms crossed, watching expressionlessly.
"We should go. The road conditions ahead are complicated, and we shouldn't delay."
When the doctor tried to invite Zixi to go with him to investigate a patch of fungi he had recently discovered, Mo Chen walked over directly, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable air.
He also naturally positioned himself between Zi Xi and the Doctor, blocking their view of each other.
Zi Xi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mo Chen, who had a cold expression, and then at the somewhat embarrassed Doctor.
"Okay... Doctor, we'll be going now."
Although she didn't understand why, she subconsciously chose to obey Mo Chen.
"Is the road ahead complicated? It looks alright on the map."
After leaving, Zi Xi asked Mo Chen in a low voice.
"We just received a regional warning; there is a possibility of a strong geomagnetic storm. It would be best to leave as soon as possible."
Mo Chen remained expressionless.
"oh."
Zi Xi believed it to be true.
However, the viewers in the live stream had sharp eyes:
Why didn't I hear the warning?
[Amo's gaze just now looked like that of a wolf guarding its food, hahaha!]
He's jealous! He's definitely jealous!
This possessiveness, I'll fight it to the death!
Mo Chen herself couldn't explain where that inexplicable irritation came from; she just saw other men looking at her with admiration and wanting to get closer to her.
He felt very uncomfortable.
Mo Chen realized more and more clearly that this little girl had already gained a certain weight in his heart.
He was warmed by her pure smile and touched by her unintentional care.

The Chu Family Manor in the capital city.
As time went by, Chu Suya's communication with the space pirates through the encrypted channel became more and more frequent, and her tone became increasingly anxious and impatient.
They invested huge sums of money and promised precious chef's secret recipes, only to receive one bad news after another.
The assassination teams sent to the desolate planet lost contact one after another, as if they had sunk without a trace, and not a single useful piece of information was sent back.
Meanwhile, that useless Chu Zixi still appeared lively and energetic in the live stream, making her even more of an eyesore.
"Useless! You're all a bunch of useless trash!"
"The Dark Alliance is nothing special, unable to even deal with a seriously wounded target!"
Chu Suya's delicate face was slightly distorted by anger and anxiety. In her secret room where she was researching the formula, she was so angry that she almost smashed the priceless antique vase in her hand.
She couldn't wait any longer!
The show is less than a month away from ending, and once the man is taken back by the official rescue team, it will be extremely difficult to take action again.
Moreover, she had a vague sense of foreboding that things seemed to be slipping out of her control.
We must use even greater resources to ensure absolute safety.
A crazy and audacious plan quickly took shape in her mind.
She needs to persuade the Chu family to join forces with the family of the president's political rivals!
Chu Suya knew that this was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin, and the risk was extremely high.
But fortune favors the bold.
Moreover, she has the advantage of being prescient.
