Qin Han snapped back to reality, frowned and glanced at her, then turned his deep gaze towards Shen Tang, scrutinizing.

Clearly, he had his doubts too.

Facing the man’s slightly oppressive gaze, Shen Tang pursed her lips and quietly explained, "I’m not a spy."

Zhai Chen saw the beauty showing a timid expression and quickly raised his hand in support, "I also believe this... Xun Fu, Xiao Fu, right! She definitely can’t be an undercover! Which team would send a female as an undercover agent?"

Not to mention such a beautiful female; anyone would want to hide her away for protection, right? Who would be willing to throw her in such a dangerous place, almost losing her life.

Bai Lei glanced at him speechlessly; this guy, pure and simple looks-oriented!

But she agreed with Zhai Chen’s words.

Although she also found Xun Fu’s appearance a bit strange, no one would use such a precious and beautiful female as bait. Those who could send out a female of this level would not be interested in their ordinary hunting team.

Qin Han withdrew his gaze, said no more, only spoke in a deep voice, "The nearest shelter is still 58 kilometers away, let’s continue on our way."

The captain had spoken, so naturally the others had no objections.

Yuna was truly angry this time. Qin Han always acted meticulously, how come he’s repeatedly making exceptions for this unidentified female? Could he also be enamored by her beauty?

The more she thought about it, the more resentful she felt, so she glared fiercely at Shen Tang and quickly followed Qin Han.

Shen Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She understood nothing at the moment; if questioned, she wouldn’t even know how to make up a story.

Fortunately, she only regarded them as a temporary stepping stone; once she figured things out, she would leave.

Thus, Shen Tang continued ahead with the team.

Zhai Chen was very enthusiastic, frequently finding chances to chat with her, but eventually Bai Lei sent him back.

The sky grew darker again.

The day-night temperature difference in this area is extreme, dropping to below twenty degrees at night; the environment is harsh and not suitable for long-term human habitation.

Suddenly, a coat was draped over her head, carrying a faint cold scent.

Shen Tang looked up in surprise and saw Qin Han, who had approached unnoticed.

The man gave a light cough and casually said, "You don’t have superpowers, wear this first."

Shen Tang lacked the protective shield formed by superpowers; although she wore the System-produced energy protection suit, which resisted radiation and pollution, the cold wind still whipped against her.

Qin Han’s gaze fell on her face once more.

The female’s fair and delicate face was reddened by the cold, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, and her moist, bright eyes looked at him, making him turn his face slightly awkwardly.

Shen Tang noticed his slightly reddened earlobes, huh, was it too cold?

She wrapped the coat around herself and gave him a sweet smile, "Thank you."

Despite the cold night, Qin Han inexplicably felt a bit restless inside. He pursed his lips and replied in a calm voice, "You’re welcome."

The female before him gave him a peculiar feeling, out of place with everything around, even though they were all Beastmen, she seemed different from them in some way.

In such a harsh and dangerous place, she resembled a naive and pure little beast, knowing nothing, making people want to take extra care of her.

"Gurgle~"

Suddenly, Shen Tang’s stomach growled.

She touched her stomach a bit awkwardly, "Um, aren’t you hungry? Shall we eat something and take a break?"

She’d been following them on the road for over a day, without rest, drinking, and eating anything, exhausted and starving, nearly unable to hold on. But they seemed accustomed to it, showing no reaction at all.

Yuna glared fiercely at the coat on Shen Tang, simmering inside, and immediately seized the opportunity to criticize, "Is she really a pampered young lady? Can’t handle this bit of hardship?"

Bai Lei said speechlessly, "Can you shut up for a moment without dying?"

She could tell, Yuna was just jealous and deliberately finding fault because the captain took care of Xiao Fu. But doesn’t the captain usually take care of her and others too? What’s there to be jealous of?

Besides, the captain isn’t her Beast Husband, did she really think she owns Qin Han?

Yuna wanted to retort, but her own stomach betrayed her by rumbling once too.

She instantly looked embarrassed, swallowing back the words that were about to come out.

Qin Han glanced at his exhausted team members, nodded and said, "It’s late, we’ve been traveling long, rest and adjust on the spot, have something to eat."

"Yes, Captain!"

Zhai Chen and the others were thrilled—luckily Xiao Fu suggested resting, otherwise, given the captain’s stubbornness, they might not have been allowed to rest until reaching the shelter.

They found a relatively safe spot nearby, elevated terrain with few cover, ensuring they could spot any attacking mutant beast hordes immediately.
