Chapter 367 - 201 Visitors at the Commercial Complex
Maya nodded slightly toward Shana, expressing her gratitude for the reminder, "The secret lab is too dangerous, I’ll explore it alone with Lin Wu when there’s a chance." This could be understood in two ways. First, Maya didn’t want to put everyone in danger. Second, she did not want the others to slow her down.
Maya said, "Let’s retreat for now and explore the last exit tomorrow. If there are no other issues, we need to focus on exit 2 and figure out a way to quickly reach directly into the mall’s interior. If we can secure a foothold inside the mall, it will be enough to sustain us for several months."
When Lin Wu and Maya had a serious conversation, there was an understanding between them that was hard for others to interrupt, except for Shana. Peanut and the rest kept quiet on the side. Perhaps it was because they had too little information, and knew too little about the secret lab and the fortress, which kept them from joining in on these topics.
Shana said, "Everyone, keep up and watch out for forks in the path, and be careful of the Night Demon’s sneak attacks."
This was Shana’s strength. During major operations, Maya was the actual commander. As a fellow Deputy Commander, Shana never felt any discontent and always assisted Maya with full effort when needed, also serving as a lubricant for the team.
Lin Wu’s view of Shana: She had a sunny disposition, carefree. In love with Shana, one wouldn’t get her full commitment, and breaking up with her, she would quickly get over the gloom. Apart from her parents or children, nobody could surpass her own importance. She pursued without demanding, living a clear, refreshing, and joyful life.
Such a girl disliked a restricted or unchanged life for years. In other words, Shana was a great friend but definitely not a traditional good wife and mother.

There was no roast pork tonight, and Little Knife mentioned that if needed, she could go dig up some herbs as roasted herbs were also edible. After a winter and moving, the base’s food supplies were nearly exhausted. Once summer came and food packs were canceled, all food would rot, and running out of food would have unthinkable consequences.
Without roast meat, Lin Wu didn’t go to the main base. He had just fired two shots at the outpost when he received a system alert: A merchant was headed to the base for trade.
Lin Wu hastily called out, "Main base, there’s a merchant."
