Chapter 421 - 222 Preparing for the Wedding_2
We were harmonious siblings, but you can’t expect this group of brothers and sisters to share your values. Perhaps this is why Stone killed Daiyu. Little Knife couldn’t accept the order to expel Daiyu from the base, and it was unlikely that Lin Wu and Daiyu could live together peacefully. In Stone’s view, Daiyu was bound to become a point of conflict for the small team.
This kind of matter had to be handled with care.
Of course, there was no problem with the Nightmare mission, because the stance of the Fortress and the Alliance was uncertain, and being neutrally informed meant naturally you could do anything.
Seeing Maya return, Shana let her take over the card game, and after a brief conversation with Stone, she went to the workroom to make a set of clothes to deliver to the sentry post. Clothing was a personal item in the system; otherwise, every time a commander went home, they’d turn into a mosaic. There were also personal items specific to the base. For instance, the Tang Sword, authorized by the commander for Maya’s exclusive use, would not be taken into storage upon her return to base, and even if Maya stored it, no one else could take it out.
Shana chatted with Dashuang at the sentry post, asking about Xiao Shuang only to learn he had been killed in an attack by Frenzy. Talking about Xiao Shuang made Shana realize that he was just a victim of rumors, which started from him rejecting a player’s advances. Why it ended up believed as truth by everyone was partly because Xiao Shuang disdained to argue, and there were also objective reasons.
For instance, Chen Shimei was a real person, said to be a good official, but having offended some villains, he was eventually branded a bad guy. And the majority of people didn’t care about the truth, nor did they care about his being wronged. Compared to an ordinary official, the character of Chen Shimei was more appealing to the public.
As Deputy Commander, Shana briefed Dashuang about some of the base’s situations, explaining that integrating with the group would take some time, and that everyone was good people and so on. In the end, Shana let Dashuang rest and went down to watch the card game, finding him of the view that it was better to reduce threats than waste time.
When Shana returned, Stone, who was playing mahjong, asked, "How’s it going?" He was teamed up with Lin Wu that day, and since Lin Wu had gone to walk the dog, he was responsible for playing cards.
