Fang Yuxin heard Bai Ye's words and quickly calmed herself down. Thankfully, her change of expression was fleeting, and people like Wan Lin didn't notice anything amiss.
Afterward, Bai Ye asked, "How far is it to Beishi Base from here? Can you guys show us the way?"
Wan Lin, seeing that these people were quite capable and seemed to have good temperaments, had long wanted to ingratiate himself with them. Hearing Bai Ye's request, he readily responded, "It's already noon, and we're actually about to head back ourselves. Why don't we go together?"
On a normal day, they would not return to save on gasoline, but Wan Lin changed his usual approach to cozy up to Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin. Besides, they were all somewhat exhausted after that terrifying encounter, so going back for some rest was not a bad idea.
Thus, after Wan Lin spoke up, nobody objected.
