The group continued to venture deeper.
Unlike before, Captain Zhou was clearly acting a bit strange.
He maintained a distance of no more than one ter from Li Xue at all tis.
If Li Xue walked with long strides, he did too.
If Li Xue took small steps, so did he.
When Li Xue picked up a kitchen knife, he covered his head and displayed a silly grin.
Li Xue scratched her head vigorously, feeling as though her kitchen knife would either stab him or herself.
Otherwise, she’d go crazy sooner or later.
After the mutant animals were wiped out, the forest beca much quieter.
Occasionally, a frightened small animal would dart through the bushes, giving the lush green forest a sort of kingdom-like feel.
"Ahead is the mine. Xiao Fan needs to detect its exact location, then clear out the dangerous mutant animals within the forest. Only then will the task be considered complete."
Captain Zhou held the map gazing foolishly at Li Xue.
Li Xue gripped her kitchen knife, holding back.
Once this task is complete, she’ll receive a hefty reward, and her sisters can have their own villa.
Endure, endure, endure.
Captain Zhou looked at Li Xue with a smile, feeling as though they had known each other for several centuries.
Otherwise, why would they be so compatible?
The other six girls from the Iron Maiden Squad suppressed their smiles.
This was the first ti their captain showed such an expression!
Li Xue’s forehead veins throbbed intensely.
Sotis, Captain Zhou didn’t have to say a word to provoke her urge to wield the kitchen knife.
Bai Xiqin watched from the side, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
The girls who had gone through hardships have now beco so resilient; who wouldn’t like girls with such a character!
Bai Yifan quietly distanced himself from Captain Zhou, reaching up to touch his hair.
When Captain Zhou was drowning, he had tugged at Bai Yifan’s hair, right at the top of his head.
He thought, at least a dozen strands must have been lost.
Such a worrying thought!
Baldness!
"What a fragrant floral sll, Xiao Xuexue, what kind of little flowers do you like?"
Captain Zhou inhaled deeply, smiling brightly at Li Xue.
"Red ones," Li Xue said coldly.
"Red roses, huh? I like them too. When we get back, I’ll prepare a large bundle of roses for you to soak your feet, alright?"
Captain Zhou gazed at Li Xue with eager eyes.
Haha, isn’t Xiao Xuexue’s hint obvious enough? Red flowers equal red roses, equal love.
"Alright, I want white roses," Li Xue still kept her face cold.
"But you like red flowers, right? White flowers aren’t good, they’re unlucky." Captain Zhou paused slightly.
White roses, pure love?
Captain Zhou pondered for a mont and instantly understood.
This must be truly in love—a lifeti of loving only him!!
"Yes, white roses, colored red with your blood!"
Li Xue pointed her kitchen knife at Captain Zhou’s fair neck.
Captain Zhou gulped.
At that mont, Xiao Xuexue’s kitchen knife was only 0.01 centiters away from his fair neck.
Isn’t her love a little too insane?
But—he liked it!!!
"Alright, whatever you want, I’ll get it for you!"
Captain Zhou adjusted his gold-rimd glasses.
Underneath the glasses, his eyes moved slightly, secretly calculating whether he could use his blood to color nine hundred ninety roses red without dying.
If not, five hundred twenty roses would do.
"Idiot!"
Li Xue rolled her eyes, no longer paying attention to Captain Zhou, striding forward.
In her heart, she felt a little bit touched. What was that about!
Clearly, she had decided to view all n as floods and beasts.
Li Xue shook her head slightly, glanced at her sisters, and her heart sank again.
Wasn’t last ti’s lesson enough?
How could they trust n again?
Ever since that incident, the seven sisters no longer held any fantasies about n.
They decided to wield their kitchen knives to protect themselves, to beco their strongest backup.
For a while, they developed a physiological aversion upon seeing n.
Whenever soone attempted to pursue any mber of the Iron Maiden Squad, they would always reject the suitor.
No exceptions.
It wasn’t that their squad forbade romance.
They just harbored aversion towards the n pursuing them.
Honestly, if there was a Daughter Country, they’d rush there without hesitation.
"Xiao Xuexue, what’s wrong?" Captain Zhou tilted his head slightly, puzzled, as he looked at Li Xue.
He could sense Li Xue’s mood was off just now, a low pressure hovering around her.
Li Xue glanced coldly at Captain Zhou, turned her head away, and said nothing, her kitchen knife drooping powerlessly.
Captain Zhou paused for a while, then fell silent.
He self-reflected, had he unknowingly upset her?
Why was this?
When a girl is angry, it’s definitely not her fault; soone must have made her angry.
Li Xue, such a spirited, cool, yet gentle girl, usually easy-going, wouldn’t easily get angry.
If she was angry, it ant the person who upset her was soone she cared about.
The person Xiao Xuexue cares about most, the one she wishes to grow old with and never part, surely is himself!
So Captain Zhou began to reflect.
Once Captain Zhou quieted down, the whole group fell silent, continuing onward.
Dense forests and tangled weeds slowed their pace, now and then hindering their path.
At this mont, the kitchen knife’s utility beca apparent.
Li Xue vented all her pent-up frustration on the wild grass, her sharp kitchen knife striking fiercely.
Clean and swift, showing no rcy.
Captain Zhou’s expression beca vacant for a mont, he seed to have truly angered such a spirited girl!
How exceptional!
A mixture of astonishnt and intense self-bla.
Captain Zhou fell into his mories, recalling which mont he had upset Xiao Xuexue.
After thinking for a long ti, his mories were filled with pink bubbles.
No recollection of upsetting Xiao Xuexue, his mories were tinted with the sweetness of romance!
Captain Zhou shook his head depressively, indeed he was a terribly awful person.
Not even knowing where he went wrong.
Therefore, Captain Zhou decided to treat Xiao Xuexue well, ensuring she would always be happy and joyful.
"We’re here!"
Bai Yifan’s eyes lit up slightly, observing the traces of a mine ahead.
This task was about locating the mine. Now that the mutant animals were gone, the mine’s location was almost confird, and the task nearly completed.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai leisurely walked hand in hand in the middle, glancing at the mine without any waves of emotion.
Li Xue was imrsed in sorrow, paying no attention to the mine.
The Iron Maiden Squad expressed concern for their captain, not sparing a glance for the mine.
Captain Zhou pondered, where exactly had he gone wrong?
Bai Yifan: ...
Seems like out of eleven people, he’s the only one seriously working on the task!
