In the middle of the river channel, two kilometers up the north bank.
Just as the day was breaking, Zhe Bu crawled into a huge tree hollow and followed the tunnel he had dug downwards, swiftly reaching a small space five meters underground.

"You're back." Xu Meijia grasped the carefully prepared sandwich, reaching out with her only hand in the dark, "I woke up after a little sleep and prepared something for you to eat, eat it while it's fresh."
"There's no need." Zhe Bu did not take it, instead sitting on the bare ground nearby, "The supplies are intended for you. You just need to rest."
After speaking, he pulled out two pieces of jerky from his bag and started munching away.
"Ah, I can't even eat right now." Xu Meijia sighed, setting down the sandwich, "I know you have your missions, and I just wish to help however I can... at least to make your meals a bit more comfortable."
