All around was a mess, with incessant sobbing that weighed heavily on the heart.
Ji Wanwan and her companions gathered in the small earthen house, discussing the aftermath.

After a brief introduction, nearly half of them agreed to go to the Liancheng base, while the remaining half believed that all places were equally bad, and that it was better to rely on oneself.
Having experienced what happened at the refuge, it was not surprising that these people felt this way.
