When Chen Jie and Mao'er returned, everyone was indeed awake and looking for them.
"Captain, Cat, where have you two been?"
Chen Yanyan watched the two people come back together with suspicion in her eyes.
If a man and a woman suddenly leave, it may not be impossible if something happens.
"What can we do?"
Mao'er looked at Chen Yanyan's angry look and suddenly became interested. She took the initiative to hold Chen Jie's arm and leaned on Chen Jie's shoulder intimately, making a sweet look.
Chen Jie was a little confused when he saw Mao'er's strange behavior. When he turned around, he saw Chen Yanyan staring at him angrily.
"Hmph, vixen."
Chen Yanyan said angrily, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Chen Jie, did you hear what she just said?"
Mao'er turned his head and looked at Chen Jie with a fake smile on his face.
Chen Jie looked at the smile on Mao'er's face, felt a little nervous, and said stiffly.
"It's getting late. Everyone, hurry up and eat. After eating, you have to go out on your way."
Chen Jie took out his arm and walked forward with an embarrassed look on his face.
Chen Yanyan glared at Mao'er fiercely, moved closer to Chen Jie, and said coquettishly.
"Captain, I just saw that you are not here, and I am very worried about you."
"Well, you will stay at home later and have a good rest."
Chen Jie said softly and looked at the three girls.
"Captain, can't you take us with you?"
Chen Yanyan is now more and more worried about Chen Jie and Mao'er being together, so she insists on going together.
"No need. Only when you are at home can I rest assured and have a good rest at home."
Chen Jie refused Chen Yanyan's request without even thinking about it.
Chen Yanyan looked at Chen Jie's determined look, pursed her lips, and finally nodded.
"Okay then..." Chen Yanyan said with a disappointed look on her face.
Everyone simply ate the leftover venison from yesterday, and Chen Jie, Bai Fan and Wang Qiang were ready to go out to explore the road and start the day's work.
"Captain, why can she go with you?"
When Chen Yanyan saw the cat lazily following behind Chen Jie, she immediately barked in dissatisfaction.
Chen Jie turned around and saw Mao'er before he remembered what he had promised Mao'er before.
"My fighting ability is better than yours. If you don't agree, you can compare."
Mao'er looked at Chen Yanyan indifferently, not taking Chen Yanyan seriously at all.
When Chen Yanyan heard Mao'er saying that she wanted to challenge herself, she felt nervous, hesitated, and looked at Chen Jie aggrievedly, as if she was complaining silently.
"Cat, if you go with me, there will be an extra layer of security. This desert island is very dangerous. Only with you in the ancient tomb can I find a better and safer place with peace of mind."
Chen Jie spoke softly, soothing everyone's mood.
"Captain, you have to come back quickly."
Chen Yanyan nodded obediently. She couldn't beat the cat anyway, so it was better to go down the steps.
Chen Jie nodded, turned and left.
"Captain Chen, should we change directions this time?
The last time we went out was not smooth."
Wang Qiang walked to Chen Jie and looked at Chen Jie flatteringly.
Chen Jie stopped, looked at Wang Qiang and then looked around.
"Then let's go from behind the ancient tomb. We haven't passed this way yet."
Chen Jie also knew that the previous few times had not gone well, and that Attalo's tribe was very close there, so it would be dangerous to go there.
Wang Qiang looked at Chen Jie in surprise. He didn't expect that Chen Jie would listen to his opinion, and he was a little excited.
"Hey, Captain Chen, you still have the vision."
Wang Qiang said with a smile.
"Let's go, don't waste time."
Chen Jie glanced at Wang Qiang, turned around and walked towards the back of the ancient tomb.
The journey was uneventful, and we only saw some snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It was pretty smooth, but the hot weather made everyone's physical strength a little weak.
"Captain Chen, it's too hot today. Can we take a break?"
Wang Qiang stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, feeling exhausted all over his body.
"rest for a bit."
Chen Jie saw Wang Qiang and Bai Fan sweating profusely, thinking that Mao Er was also working hard, so he asked everyone to take a rest.
"Captain Chen, we can't continue like this."
Wang Qiang said bitterly, hoping that Chen Jie could give up this idea.
"Then what do you want?"
Chen Jie looked at Wang Qiang, who had a lot of things to do, with an impatient tone.
"Captain Chen, I just think we can think of a way. It's not a good thing to keep going like this."
Wang Qiang said breathlessly, and he was so panicked that he didn't even bother to look at Chen Jie's face.
"Then according to your opinion, is it best to die trapped in the ancient tomb, so as to save you from fatigue?"
Chen Jie said sarcastically, deliberately looking angry.
"Oh, Captain Chen, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant..." Wang Qiang is used to being a person who knows how to wink. When he saw Chen Jie getting angry, he quickly started to coax him.
"Hmph, if you don't want to leave, you can tell me in the future. I don't have to take you with me, but I'll just treat you as quitting the team automatically. My team doesn't support useless people."
Chen Jie's tone was cold and he looked at Wang Qiang seriously, letting Wang Qiang know what he was thinking.
"Captain Chen, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood. I am a very capable team member and will definitely help you take care of everyone. Please believe me."
Wang Qiang saw Chen Jie getting angry and quickly expressed his attitude, fearing that Chen Jie would really throw him out.
"In that case, then be obedient, obey orders, and stop complaining. Remember?"
Chen Jie looked at Wang Qiang seriously, his tone revealing unquestionable determination.
"Yes, yes, Captain Chen is right. I will definitely follow Captain Chen's orders from now on, and you will never complain again."
Wang Qiang was so frightened by Chen Jie's appearance that he broke into a cold sweat. He was really afraid that Chen Jie would leave him outside like this.
"Okay, let's hurry up and get on our way after we've had enough rest. We must decide on our new address today."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he looked at Mao'er.
Mao'er stood up very cooperatively and said with a leisurely expression.
"Of course I have no problem, just look at them."
Mao'er walked lazily to Chen Jie's side, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Wang Qiang and Bai Fan who were sitting on the ground.
When Bai Fan saw this, he immediately stood up and spoke nervously.
"Me, I have no problem. I'm not tired at all. Captain Chen, my physical fitness is very good and I will definitely not hold you back."
Bai Fan looked at Chen Jie nervously, feeling a little uneasy.
It always felt like Chen Jie already knew about his poaching, which made him spend the whole day in fear.
"Very good. Since everyone is so motivated, let's continue on our way."
Chen Jie was very satisfied with the reactions of Bai Fan and Wang Qiang, raised the corners of his lips, turned around and walked forward...
