Agriculture Escape: Ultimate Boss Has A Space Pocket! (ON-HOLD)

Chapter 80: Revealing The Spot

Qingfeng found Lin Yue in the crowd and suddenly smiled. "There's some left."

Gu Zhongxun looked up, confused. "What's left?"

Lin Yue seemed to have sensed Qingfeng's gaze and turned around. He was caught off guard and bumped into Qingfeng's faint smile.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Zhongxun beside him. He immediately frowned and carried the box he had been holding over. His eyes widened as if he was saying, "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Zhongxun looked at the medicine box in Lin Yue's hand and said in surprise, "It's not lost?!"

Lin Yue subconsciously glanced at Qingfeng. When he realized that there was nowhere to hide the box, he puffed out his chest and explained, "It wasn't easy for Madam to exchange for the herbs, so of course I have to keep an eye on them." In the future, he still had to ask his master to return them. If he lost the box, he would have to return two sets.

He thought that he did not act guilty at all. But his eyes were darting around, not daring to look at Qingfeng.

Gu Zhongxun hugged the medicine box and checked it. After discovering that there was nothing missing inside, he heaved a long sigh of relief and praised Lin Yue, "It's all thanks to Brother Lin. Otherwise, Miss Qingfeng's hope would have been gone."

Hearing his words, Lin Yue immediately denied, "I'm not doing this for her!" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he was exposing himself. He looked up at the sky awkwardly and couldn't help but glance at Qingfeng from the corner of his eye to see how she would react.

Qingfeng's expression was calm. After looking away from Lin Yue's forced gaze, a complicated expression flashed across her face. She walked straight away without saying a word to him.

Lin Yue stared at her back and secretly clenched his fists. His strained expression made Gu Zhongxun realize that something was wrong. He comforted him considerately, "Miss Qingfeng must be grateful to you in her heart. She's just not good at expressing herself."

It was fine if he did not comfort him, but once he did, he stepped on Lin Yue's sore spot.

Lin Yue turned his head fiercely and said angrily, "Shut up!" Then, he left Gu Zhongxun behind without looking back.

Gu Zhongxun stood rooted to the ground, a little stunned. He did not seem to understand why Lin Yue was angry at him.

It was almost dark, and the items were even harder to find. If everyone had walked too far away, they might get lost.

Bai Wutong said to everyone, "Let's not look around for now. Let's eat something first and see what we can find tomorrow morning."

As they were busy finding things, there was not much firewood left. Everyone could only eat the dry rations in the emergency food bag with hot water.

Moreover, they were afraid that they would not have anything to eat if they ate too much, so they could only eat till 50% full.

Soon, it was almost too dark to see.

The temperature had dropped to below -10°C. Their equipment that had been used to set up the tent had also been blown away. If everyone wanted to spend the night safely in such cold temperatures, they would have to squeeze together like penguins.

The women and children were at the innermost area. The people outside were the ones who suffered the most from the cold. Bai Wutong made them wear the thickest clothes and then changed positions with the others every hour to warm up inside.

The team of more than 500 people were divided into five groups that were huddled together.

Bai Wutong covered everyone's heads with the only blanket she had found to prevent the heat from spreading.
