Five tents huddled together. For safety, two people shared a tent. Lin Xi, Su Hui, and Qin Jia, being women, shared the largest tent due to their gender. With Su Hui present, Gu Fan didn't have to worry about Lin Xi's safety.
Although Du Jun wasn't comfortable sharing a small space with someone else, he reluctantly joined Ouyang Jin in a tent for the sake of safety. If anything suspicious happened, they would contact each other through walkie-talkies.
Ouyang Jin had said that after only one day's travel, they wouldn't encounter any packs of wolves or fierce animals, but everyone still stowed their weapons nearby, just in case.
Just as everyone was deep in sleep, the sound of a car engine disturbed their dreams, lighting an instant spark of tension. Gu Fan dressed quickly, grabbed his dagger, and rushed out.
Gu Fan wasn't the only one. Everyone else was awake, especially Su Hui, whose vigilance was the highest in the group. But she did not seem as tense as Gu Fan.
