After feeding the fish, the Baiji dolphin called out to them and then sank back into the river.
The crew expressed their gratitude to Chi Xia and Han Junche's group, thanking them for saving their lives and for taming the Baiji dolphin, which brought peace to the river.
Jerry said to them, "This baiji dolphin is probably going to give birth soon. You can catch some fish to feed it when you have time."
"That's for sure." The crew members nodded in unison, patting their chests to assure them that they would definitely go upstream and downstream to catch plenty of fish to feed the Baiji dolphins.
In fact, Chi Xia wasn't worried that they wouldn't be fed. After all, for these ferrymen who made a living by ferrying the Baiji dolphins, calming down was a matter of life and death.
The group bid farewell to the crew and drove towards F City.
Instead of entering the city, they traveled along the outskirts of F City, heading straight for the Qinling Mountains. Along the way, they encountered several teams of superhumans searching for supplies, but they only exchanged nods and had no further involvement. After traveling and stopping for several days, Chi Xia and her group finally arrived at the foot of the Qinling Mountains.
As darkness fell, the group set up camp at the foot of the mountain, preparing to drive up the mountain early the next morning and try to cross the Qinling Mountains within three days.
Their confidence stemmed from the empire's robust infrastructure before its apocalypse. Even though many roads were damaged in the post-apocalyptic world, crossing the Qinling Mountains was still possible; it would just take a little longer.
In the past few days, the relationship between Xu Fan and Zhuo Fang has improved a lot. Sometimes, when Xu Fan speaks up, Zhuo Fang no longer pretends to hear him with a stern face. This is a pleasant surprise for Xu Fan. He can't care about anything else and starts to fawn over Zhuo Fang.
Xu Fan would rush to wash the clothes, help serve rice and pick out dishes; he would take care of everything Zhuo Fang needed to do, except for feeding him.
Even Zhang Xin and Chunli, who didn't know what was going on, could see the clues in this obvious situation. Even the naive Ran Zhu quietly asked Chi Xia while preparing the vegetables, "Sister Chi, are Zhuo Fang and Xu Fan a couple?"
Chi Xia nodded: "Yes, you're surprised?"
"It was quite unexpected, considering they were both men."
After saying this, Ran Zhu immediately explained in a panic, "That's not what I meant. I also think they're a good match, but I didn't expect it at first, so I was very surprised."
Chi Xia knew that Ran Zhu didn't mean to look down on Zhuo Fang and Xu Fan. Seeing her flustered appearance, she smiled and comforted her, "Not to mention you, even I was startled at first. Xu Fan hid it too well; I couldn't tell at all."
Seeing that Chi Xia believed her, Ran Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Xu Fan following behind Zhuo Fang, and said with a smile, "In the apocalypse, it's so good to be able to find someone you trust and like."
Chi Xia nodded, then glanced meaningfully at Chunli, who was preparing vegetables across from her: "Yes, it's not easy to find someone who truly loves you in the apocalypse. What do you think, Chunli?"
Chunli pouted: "Sister Chi, don't worry about me, I think things are fine as they are."
Alright, you can't force things. Chi Xia looked at Ran Zhu and raised an eyebrow at her: "Why don't you find someone in the team too? What do you think of Qin Zhao, Lin Yi, Wang Dalong, Wang Erlong and the others?"
Upon hearing this, Ran Zhu blushed instantly: "I...I've prepared the vegetables, I'll go wash them first."
After saying this, he picked up the basin and hurriedly ran away.
Watching her departing figure, Zhang Xin smiled and said, "This young lady is still too shy."
Chunli suddenly said, "Let's not talk about others, Sister Zhang, you should give Brother Li a chance. I think he's great in every way except for his effeminate gestures, which are a bit annoying. He's much better than that ox!"
