The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Chapter 94)

"What? A group of suspicious people have come outside the base?"

"Yes, there are 27 people. 24 of them are on their way, 3 are stationed two kilometers northwest of the base, and there are 3 modified vehicles."

"There were quite a few of them, how did you spot them?"

In the base patrol office, Captain Man poured Lance a glass of hot water.

Lance took the hot water, drank a sip, and then put the cup down.

"I didn't find it myself; it was the leopard in the house that discovered it when it went out to patrol, so I went over to take a look."

Since Song Ning didn't want him to reveal his identity, he certainly wouldn't expose his true identity himself.

Moreover, his true identity is still to be verified, but other information can be provided to the base.

Captain Man understood. "So it was thanks to Leopard. I've received this information. I'll arrange for someone to make contact right away. Thank you very much for the intelligence you provided."

The two shook hands briefly, and Lance finished his water and left.

Not long after he left, someone pushed open the door to the room behind Captain Man.

"I thought this guy didn't care about anyone except his girlfriend, but I didn't expect him to actually come and tell us?"

Captain Man turned around and slapped him across the face. "Wang Chen, don't always look at people with prejudice. The fact that he participated in patrols before already shows that he's not the kind of cold-hearted person."

Wang Chen shrugged. "To be fair, boss, I never used the word 'cold-hearted' to describe someone. You said it yourself."

Oops, I misspoke.

Captain Man coughed twice and then flicked Wang Chen on the forehead.

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Now that you know this information, take some men and go see what's going on."

Wang Chen let out a miserable scream.

"Should I go again? I just got back, boss."

Captain Man rolled his eyes at him. "Don't call me 'Big Sister,' use your proper title."

Wang Chen said with a bitter face, "Okay, Captain, but I just got back, can you let me rest for a bit? At least let me have a meal before I go."

“I’ll have someone reserve some good goods for you. You take your men and head over there first. By the time he gets here, he’ll probably be halfway there and won’t make it in time. You’re shrewd enough to go and test the waters. I don’t trust anyone else to do this.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen puffed out his chest and raised his head, "Okay, then I'll go and call the people."

He said he's the only one who's reliable, right? See, the boss only trusts him to do such an important job!

After returning from the base, Lance transformed into a black panther and began his journey.

When he returned home covered in snow, Song Ning had already prepared dinner and was staring blankly out the window, waiting for him.

"You're back!"

Before Lance could even enter, Song Ning had already opened the door and welcomed him in.

He handed Lance a cup of hot water. "Has something happened outside?"

Upon seeing the person, Song Ning calmed down considerably.

While asking questions, he told Lance about the information he had received from Tang Wei and showed him the dried seaweed he had received.

"Can you eat this too?"

Lance expressed doubt about the shape of the dried seaweed, and then shared his findings.

"Captain Man has already sent people over, so there shouldn't be any unexpected problems."

So that's why Lance went out.

Song Ning seemed thoughtful as she explained, "The dried kelp looks ordinary now, but it's ready to eat after soaking. It tastes quite fresh."

"Where did that group of people you just mentioned come from?"

He had an idea, but wasn't sure if it was right.

Lance glanced at him and guessed.

"It shouldn't be them; this group of people doesn't have the same scent as those other people."

Aren't they from Li Dabiao's group?

Song Ning couldn't quite explain it, but she felt relieved. "You've already notified Captain Man and the others, they should be able to handle it. Come and eat, I soaked some seaweed and tried it, want to have some?"

Lance really enjoyed the seaweed and pork rib soup for dinner. After observing for a while, Song Ning had a thought pop into her head.

Although Lance's true identity is still unclear, the big cat's body may have been greatly affected.

Could it be that you like eating seaweed because you like the taste of seafood? If so, I might consider trading some dried seafood next time.

Life went on as usual, and Song Ning didn't pay too much attention to the suspicious people who had come to the base.

He trusts the base and Captain Man quite a bit. The Cunguang Base is no ordinary makeshift operation that has developed to its current state.

The next morning was a new trading day, and their new home wasn't too close to that place, so Song Ning planned to go and take a look.

Firstly, he wanted to see if he could exchange some of the valuable items he had wanted to give Lance yesterday. Secondly, he also planned to talk to the other survivors and see if there was any information worth hearing.

There weren't many things in the greenhouse, so after some deliberation, he brought some potatoes and peppers, as well as a few pieces of skin.

When Lance went out on patrol, he would sometimes encounter wild animals and have a feast. After a while, they accumulated more than a dozen different animal hides.

These animal hides are quite popular; they're great for making clothing or storing things, and most importantly, they're durable—nobody doesn't like them.

He took his things, and Lance escorted him there.

"Take care of yourself. If anything happens, you can ask someone to come find me. I'll come pick you up later when I'm done with my work. Don't rush to go back on your own."

As Lance gave instructions, he took the scarf off his own neck and put it on Song Ning. He also handed Song Ning the still-warm water bottle, staring at it intently with a worried look.

I never realized Lance was the type to talk so much.

Song Ning seemed to be disgusted inside, but actually put on a big smile.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. We'll see if there's anything you'd like to exchange then."

On this rare exchange day, he shouldn't be the only one exchanging for what he wants. Maybe Lance has something he likes too?

As Lance listened to his thoughtful words and looked into Song Ning's bright eyes, he felt a tickle in his heart.

He reached out and pretended to adjust Song Ning's hat, but actually lowered his head and kissed Song Ning's eyes.

"Okay, then we'll go home together then."

After the person left, Song Ning stood there somewhat blankly.

Lance seems a bit clingy, and regarding the shift in their relationship, is it that Lance adapted too quickly, or that I adapted too slowly?

I feel like their progress bars aren't quite aligned right now. Maybe I need to think about it carefully?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Song Ning decisively turned her head.

Now that things have come to this, let's see what everyone brought to the trading day.
