while and after sweating so much I must
smell foul once the fire is lit you
should wash up quickly she insisted but
what will I wear after there are only 5
days left I can endure it you Shia hang
retorted dismissively it was only then
that Gian realized he had indeed
forgotten to bring a change of clothes
however considering it was merely 7 days
he thought it best to endure rather than
occupy a space with clean garments too
his surprise Chong xingang retrieved 10
identical outfits from his backpack
Distributing them among the group they
were casual sets comprising long sleeve
hoodies and trousers quite suitable for
the local climate especially while
seated by the campfire Gian and the
other girls all gave him a thumbs up
while y Shia hang leaned in to say
brother Chong has a peculiar Quirk he
must shower every day deoni recalled
that this explained why he had insisted
on keeping watch first last night
sending them off to sleep while he snuck
off to bathe Chong xingang delivered a
light punch to Y sha Hong's head urging
him to hurry and wash up why y shaen
grabbed a set of clothes and scampered
off towards the water Channel observing
the Waterway which was only partially
shielded by a few trees Gian G swiftly
took out bamboo splitting and peeling it
to weave into a complete curtain he
fashioned the bamboo curtain into a
circular structure with an opening
securing it to the ground and then
crafted a movable door from wood
additionally he made a large water
bucket for each girl ensuring that once
they fetched water bathing within the
bamboo curtain would be more convenient
after completing the bamboo curtain Gian
G clapped his hands together stating we
will take turns guarding the entrance
while the others can wash up in peace
too their astonishment just as the
bathing area was set up beside the cave
Yia hang returned freshly bathed Chang
xingang looked at him in disdain
questioning did you even wash properly
given how quickly you were y Shia hang
immediately leaned closer to Chen
xingang asserting I'm clean as a whistle
now if you don't believe me brother Chun
take a whiff Chun shingun exasperated
delivered another punch to his head with
nothing else to do giangi boiled a large
pot of hot water and poured it into the
wooden barrels given the circumstances a
hot bath was certainly in order due to
Tang Yan's disheveled appearance she was
allowed to bathe first while Gian G
stood guard at the entrance after Tang
Yen finished giu and Gian took their
turns as well once they had all bathed
they washed their soiled clothes hanging
them nearby to dry in the breeze the
five of them sat comfortably by the
campfire exhaling a collective sigh of
contentment If Only They were not in a
survival situation life would be rather
Pleasant however the thought of being
trapped here for another 5 days with the
ever-looming threat to their lives
dampened their spirits
yet as they sat clad in matching outfits
the scene appeared somewhat comical
after exchanging glances laughter
erupted amongst them though they were
careful to keep it subdued stifling
their mirth even Chang xingang usually
serious struggled to hold back a smile
but just then a piercing scream
shattered the Tranquility of the forest
echoing from the mountains though its
proximity remained uncertain the five
immediately grasped their weapons
entering a state of readiness Chang
xingang promptly dispatched shiao Fe for
reconnaissance instructing him to remain
concealed and to fly high to avoid
detection what had initially been
fatigued transformed into alertness as
they remained Vigilant fixated on the
direction of the mountains after what
felt like an eternity sha F returned
Landing beside Chang xingang reporting
that a group of individuals was engaged
in combat with a mutated leopard though
