"..."
At this moment, both Griseo and Alyona were held in Mr. Wolf's arms, quietly following the large group.
Because there were more people to bring back this time, the overall team was not moving very fast, so the little girl was somewhat bored.
"...!"
But after a while, Griseo's boredom disappeared instantly, because she remembered a very scary thing, something she had almost forgotten.
That is, she hadn't told Alina and Talulah about sneaking away this time except for leaving a "note"...
If she goes back, she should be taught a lesson, right? She will definitely be taught a lesson!
After spending a night in the mine and meeting a little friend, Griseo almost forgot about it. After thinking it over... she began to feel a little guilty.
After all, the little girl herself knew that even if she left a note, Alina and the others would still be worried!
It's bad. Thinking about it, Griseo suddenly felt that she had committed a serious crime... As expected, she should go back and admit her mistake.
"?"
Alyona turned her head and looked at Griseo, who suddenly looked guilty, with a big question mark appearing above her head.
As they spent more time together, she realized she couldn't keep up with the little girl's thinking at all...
...
Because the team was moving too slowly, Sakura's speed was also very slow this time, and she fell far behind the team.
If she got too close, she would be noticed by Patriot, which could lead to unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts.
After all, Sakura's reason for following was very simple... just to be a "guardian".
If there was a misunderstanding, it would be difficult to resolve peacefully without communication.

At the Reunion Movement camp——
"Considering the time, Patriot should be back soon. Are you ready, Alina?"
As if remembering something, Talulah looked up at her best friend beside her and asked curiously.
"Of course, many positions have been vacated and filled... If it's still not enough by then, we'll make other arrangements." Hearing this, Alina nodded gently.
"That's good. Let this new batch of infected people rest for a few days, and then we'll move to another location."
The Reunion Movement had been stationed in this location for a long time, and it was time to change to a new location. Continuing to stay here would likely attract attention... and lead to big trouble.
Therefore, Talulah had discussed a detailed migration plan with Patriot and Yelena earlier.
Originally, the plan was to rescue the infected people in the mine, rest for a few days, and then migrate.
However, due to the actions of a certain little girl, they had been able to rescue the people ahead of schedule... So now, the migration plan could be moved up slightly.
"By the way, if Patriot are coming back, it means the little one will be back too. Alina, have you thought about how to handle her?" After discussing business matters, Talulah suddenly smiled and whispered to her best friend.
"Sigh, I haven't figured it out yet. Actually, I can almost guess why little Griseo sneaked out. Because of this, I'm not sure what to say..."
When Griseo was mentioned, Alina's eyes quickly filled with worry, her expression becoming quite helpless.
"Besides, I think I underestimated her abilities. Should I loosen my grip on her?"
"Indeed, I think that little one is beyond what we'd expect from an ordinary child. That's evident in many ways."
As she said this, Talulah recalled the painting from the night before, then remembered the doodles on her face. She couldn't help but feel a mix of exasperation and amusement.
After thinking for a moment, Alina finally expressed her thoughts with a sigh: "Well, let's wait for little Griseo to come back tonight, and then we'll talk to her."
"But we still need to protect the areas that need protection. Even if she's very capable, she's still a child... If she's inadvertently manipulated by someone with ulterior motives, it could be troublesome."
Hearing this, Talulah nodded in agreement. She fully supported her best friend's perspective.
Not to mention being manipulated by outsiders, even if it's by some infected individuals with malicious intent, it could cause significant problems and unrest, possibly leading to direct conflict.
——————————————————
As the team approached the camp of Reunion, Griseo's tension grew heavier. She felt just like when she awaited Yelena's arrival before...
And even now, the little loli vividly remembered the chilly touch on her head from the night before, aptly named the frosty head.
...
It wasn't long before the team arrived near the Reunion Movement camp, the sky completely dark... The campfire could be seen from afar.
Shortly after, Talulah and Alina arrived with a group of people to greet them.
Talulah welcomed them and delivered an impassioned speech, but none of this mattered to Griseo, who was spotted and whisked away by Alina.
Because Griseo was concerned about Alina, she entrusted Mr. Wolf to her friend before departing with the deer.
Alina didn't remark on this and was even somewhat pleased that the little one had made a new friend.
Soon, the large and small figures returned to the tent, this time entering Talulah's tent.
To conserve space for the new infected arrivals, Alina had relocated to live with Talulah...
"Little Griseo, I think we need to have a good chat," Alina said softly after pouring a cup of hot water for the cute little loli sitting on the chair.
"Hmm..."
Upon hearing Alina's words, a trace of nervousness flickered in Griseo's large violet eyes, prompting her to sit up instinctively.
She appeared as if a pitiable soul about to be scolded obediently.
"Puff..."
Seeing Griseo so on edge for the first time, Alina couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth, then pinched her little face and added:
"Why are you so nervous, little one? I'm not going to scold you."
"Hmm..."
Hearing this, Griseo tilted her head slightly and gazed at her in puzzlement after Alina pinched her cheek.
