Chapter 208 Arrival at the Official Base
In a closed room, although the air circulation system keeps the indoor air fresh, the prolonged closed environment can still make some people feel irritable.
Chu Bai and Chen Haohua sat in a corner of the room, silently contemplating their future plans.
They knew that Yu Miaomiao's trust had been greatly diminished, and that restoring that trust would require time and concrete actions.
" Chu Bai," Chen Haohua broke the silence, "do you think we still have a chance to regain Sister Miao's trust?"
" Sister Miao?" Chu Bai pictured the young girl's face in his mind. "You're a whole generation older than her."
"Hehe, that's based on seniority, not age. I always feel that this girl is more experienced than us. She always seems to have been through these dangerous situations before and is always very calm."
Chu Bai pondered for a moment and replied, "Perhaps... but once trust is lost, rebuilding it is by no means easy."
But we must try, because in such a harsh environment, we need to rely on each other.
We can start by adhering to her rules to demonstrate our sincerity.
Chen Haohua nodded in agreement.
"I know that, after all, your sister is still with her..."
"It has nothing to do with that. I just think she's someone I can make friends with. At least, she won't say one thing to your face and another behind your back."
He looked around and saw several volunteers complaining in hushed tones, clearly dissatisfied with their current treatment.
Chu Bai stood up and walked towards the volunteers who were quietly complaining. He cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention.
"I know that the current situation is not what we expected."
He said gently, "But please remember that the space we are in right now is a lifeline that Miss Yu has provided for us in this extreme environment."
We should be grateful, not complain.
A few low murmurs of agreement rang out from the crowd, but some people muttered, "But this is too cramped; there's not even a bed."
Chu Bai nodded understandingly: "I understand how you feel, but think about it, what's the situation outside?"
Strong acid rain, and those mutated creatures.
"At least we're safe here. Compared to the uncertainty of life and death outside, what's this little inconvenience?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent, and everyone was quiet. In the dim light of the room, it was impossible to see anyone's expression.
Perhaps some people are still resentful, but they no longer speak out.
One night passed.
Except for He Liang, who was constantly on the move, everyone else rested for a while or more.
" He Liang, why don't we rest for a while?" Yu Miaomiao sat in the darkness. She had roughly estimated the time and felt that there wasn't much of the journey left.
Considering that He Liang had been traveling for a long time without sleep, she couldn't help but mention it, even though He Liang didn't say it.
"I'm alright, we'll be there soon." Yu Miaomiaoused Mental Power to sense the surroundings, and indeed, a crowd was gathering not far ahead.
The scope is very broad; it should be the Official Base.
"When we arrive, go into the space and rest for a while. This is an order from our Squad, you can't refuse." Yu Miaomiao closed her eyes again; she needed to conserve her energy, as she still had to deal with the people and things at Official Base …
"Okay." Upon hearing He Liang's agreement, Yu Miaomiao closed her eyes to rest, her thoughts returning to her previous life.
Ultimately, I'll still have to face the Official Base, and I might even see some old acquaintances.
What's meant to happen will happen.
"We've arrived. Shall we head straight into the city?"
