Chapter 331: An Extra Line of Text
Upon awakening the next day, old man Tian, whom everyone expected to leave the group, was actually still there. Though he remained silent even when greeted, it was clear to all that he had decided to stay, indicating his willingness to continue leading the group onward.
However, they were faced with a painful predicament. Following the snow monster attack the previous night, Du Jun and Luo Jingrong’s teams both suffered a quarter of their members dead or injured. Numerous people were still crying from their injuries, rendering it impossible to set out. They also couldn’t just abandon them.
Ning Qi frowned: "What’s the situation? Are we supposed to wait until they’re healed before we set out? That would waste so much time."
Lin Xi, with a look of disdain, responded: "Are you implying that if you were injured, we should just leave you be?"
Feeling singled out, Ning Qi became agitated: "What kind of statement is that? I’ve weathered hardships alongside everyone here. Can I be likened to those others?"
"Alright, alright. Let’s all say less. We have enough troubles as is." Seeing the two were on the verge of arguing, Gu Fan decisively curtailed it. Otherwise, no one would be able to mediate.
Lin Xi glared at Gu Fan, huffed, and walked away.
While Gu Fan was left feeling bewildered, Lu Yi approached, patted Gu Fan on the shoulder and sighed, appearing rather sympathetic towards him.
Not just Lu Yi; everyone else shook their heads with expressions of resignation, before they all walked away.
