Chapter 17 Ensuring your safety is the top priority
"We were lucky. We encountered some mutant plants that weren't dangerous at all, and we harvested four level 7 crystal cores at once." Zang Ye handed four purple crystal cores to An Nuo. "Please keep the crystal cores for us. When we return to the safe zone, you can give them to me. I'll also give you any crystal cores we receive from now on."
"Ah? For me?" An Nuo looked at everyone with a confused look on his face. "I'm just a delicate guide. Isn't it too unsafe to give me so many high-level crystal cores? I'm afraid I might lose them by accident."
"It's okay, I'll put it on you." Zang Ye glanced at the other four people with satisfaction, who didn't show any dissatisfaction. "It's because you are the guide, so it's safest to put it on you."
"We are sentinels. Regardless of the harvest, ensuring your safety is our top priority."
"If anything happens to you, we won't be able to use these crystal cores."
"Hmm?" An Nuo looked at Zang Ye with a puzzled look, bit his lip and took the crystal core, "Then I'll take it first."
After getting the crystal core, An Nuo naturally unbuttoned his black combat uniform. A tender pink sports bra tightly covered his beautiful chest, but exposed a large area of delicate white neck skin and exquisite round collarbone to all the sentries.
After An Nuo put the crystal core into the small zippered pocket on the inside of his combat uniform, he zipped up the uniform very naturally to cover the exposed skin tightly.
An Nuo patted the sharp-edged spot on his waist where the crystal core was placed, looked at the five sentries in front of him with a serious face and assured them, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect the crystal core!"
An Nuo was taking a picture of the shape of the crystal core protruding from her waist, but Zang Ye, who was sitting next to her, was staring at her delicate collarbone, which was faintly visible at her neckline and could only be seen because of her height advantage.
So white and beautiful!
I want to lick it, I want to bite it, I want to leave a mark on it!
It would look better if my teeth marks appeared there, right?
Bai Yan, who was sitting on the other side of An Nuo, was looking at the little face that looked innocent and well-behaved.
As expected of His Highness! If I hadn't seen him before, I would have been deceived!
Compared to His Highness, the previous guide was full of flaws.
I was really naive back then. I was fooled by those clumsy performances and ended up like this.
Next to Bai Han was the expressionless Bai Yan. With his half-closed eyelids, his pair of black eyes would occasionally glance at An Nuo, as if he was peeping at the sun. He would always look away the next second after seeing her because he was so burned.
Her Highness is so beautiful! And she has a good personality!
Can I really be comforted by His Highness? I wonder when I can get it.
It must be comfortable to be comforted by His Highness, right?
The twins sitting opposite An Nuo just stared at the fire with their eyes downcast, eating the energy-exploding but tasteless marching rations bite by bite, as if they didn't hear An Nuo at all.
"Protecting yourself is the most important thing!" Zang Ye raised his hand and gently pressed the top of An Nuo's head. "Eat something first. I'll go tie up the tent for you!"
"Um."
An Nuo nodded, took the heated guide-only marching rations from Bo Han's hand, glanced at the two brothers lightly, and then began to eat quietly with his head half lowered.
By the time An Nuo had finished eating, Zang Ye's aerial tent had been tied up.
"I'll carry you upstairs to rest." Zang Ye didn't even wait for An Nuo's reply. He squatted down, wrapped his arms around her knees, picked her up with one hand, and placed her by the tent door. "Don't worry, rest. We'll be on guard all night. You won't be in any danger."
An Nuo looked at Zang Ye, who buried his face in his stomach very naturally because of the height difference caused by the tent, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips because of his sneaky deep breathing action.
"Then please let me go! I need to rest."
"Um."
Zang Ye took one last deep breath before reluctantly taking a step back, watching An Nuo's figure slowly being covered by the raised tent.
Her pheromones are so sweet!
How can she be so sweet!
I really want to eat her!
Zang Ye stood in front of An Nuo's tent, with his back to the two pairs of brothers behind him. He stood quietly for more than ten minutes before calming down the surging blood in his body and walking back to the campfire seriously.
"What did you just say secretly to Xiao Nuo?" Sitting in the seat where An Nuo had just sat, Zang Ye looked at Bai Han beside him with a serious face.
"Xiao Nuo?" Bo Han glanced at the tent behind him with a complicated expression. "Would you consider changing your name?"
"What I call my guide is none of your business!" Zang Ye glared at him. "Don't change the subject. Tell me the truth. What did you secretly talk about with my guide before?"
"When did I ever talk to your guide in secret?" Bo Han frowned innocently. "We've been traveling together all day. The only time we separated was when I went to kill mutants. How could I have the time to talk to your guide in secret?"
"Heh~" Zang Ye sneered and began to squeeze his fingers until they made crisp sounds. "Just now, when Lei Xingyi was attacking Liu Shu, you were secretly talking to An Nuo behind Bai Han, and you said more than one sentence!"
"Do you want me to explain it more clearly?"
Bai Han looked at Zang Ye's moving fingers, and unconsciously covered his abdomen with his right hand, where the bruises had not yet completely disappeared. "You heard everything, so why are you asking?"
"I'm asking because I didn't hear it!" Zang Ye stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist in front of Bai Han. "If you don't tell me, I'll have to ask myself."
"Tsk~" Bo Han pouted pretentiously, "I didn't say anything. I just said that we are willing to be her equal husband and have asked for your consent. I just asked her when she would get the marriage certificate with me."
"Oh, you really deserve a beating!"
A dull sound of breaking through the air was heard. Bai Han looked at the fist that was getting closer and closer in front of him without blinking, and had no intention of dodging at all.
Zang Ye clenched his teeth, his cheeks bulging into a stiff arc, and then he narrowly stopped his fist at the tip of Bo Han's nose. "We are in the contaminated area now. For safety reasons, I will not touch you for now. When we return to the safe area, you will see how I will deal with you!"
"Hmm~"
Bo Han knew his good friend's personality and was not worried at all about the threats he made. Instead, he laughed out loud in a good mood.
Bai Yan, who was sitting next to him, turned around and looked at Zang Ye with a shy smile.
On the second day, after a simple meal of their rations, they packed up and went into the woods.
"We were so close to that mutant willow tree yesterday, why didn't the detector go off?" An Nuo asked in a low voice, walking among the group. "Is the detector malfunctioning?"
