The people coming to reap the rewards arrived even faster than Gu Xi had expected.
Wei Heng had just finished collecting the leftover peaches—which everyone was too stuffed to eat—for Gu Xi to put into her dimensional space when Zhang Wen scurried over sneakily, cradling a bowl-sized peach and rubbing his belly to deliver the news.
—People from A City Base had arrived.
According to Zhang Wen, the official story was that the base had received a notice from a supply point. They learned that a convoy was on a mission out here and had run into supply issues, so the higher-ups had specially sent a logistics director with provisions to check on them.
As for their real purpose?
Gu Xi and Wei Heng exchanged a look.
Nearby, Qi Xiang was teasing Bai. The little mouse had been taken to the main camp yesterday, where the research team had drawn several vials of its blood. When Ye Junhan brought it back that night, it had been listless and dispirited.
