For a moment, Bai Ming couldn't make up his mind.

"Or, let her live with me first."

Huang Quan suddenly spoke, breaking the deadlock.

"I will take good care of her and won't let her come into contact with outsiders."

Everyone was startled when they heard this.

Huang Quan has always been indifferent and rarely cares about these trivial matters.

It is really unusual that he has volunteered now.

"This..." Bai Ming hesitated.

"Huang Quan, are you sure? Amy's situation is quite special, I'm afraid I'll get you into trouble..."

Huang Quan snorted coldly.

"I can kill it."

Her hand slowly stroked the hilt of the knife.

When Bai Ming saw Huang Quan's action, his eyes narrowed. He hadn't seen Huang Quan draw his sword for a long time.

It seems that neither the monsters in the dungeon he is encountering now nor the strange beasts that will appear later are qualified to make Huang Quan draw his sword.

"Miss Huang Quan, are you jealous?" Liu Wenli suddenly said.

"Go!" Huang Quan pretended to be angry, her pretty face flushed red.

"Who's jealous? I'm not doing this for the greater good!"

When everyone saw Huang Quan looking a little shy, they smiled knowingly.

"Okay, okay, it's settled." Gu Mou tried to smooth things over with a smile.

"Let Huang Quan handle this matter for Amy. With her watching over us, we can feel more at ease."

Liu Wenli nodded and agreed:

"Well, with Huang Quan here, I'm not worried. But Bai Ming, you have to take care of yourself and don't let that girl take advantage of you."

"Hey, do I look like that kind of person?" Bai Ming muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest." Gu Mou smiled and waved his hand.

"You have a meeting tomorrow, don't be late."

Everyone responded and said goodbye.

Only after watching them leave did Bai Ming breathe a sigh of relief.

This day was really tiring.

From reconstruction to armaments, from alien beasts to Amy...

......

Early the next morning.

As soon as Bai Ming entered the meeting room, he saw Gu Mou sitting upright with a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong, Brother Mou? Why are you so serious so early in the morning?" He was a little surprised.

Gu Mou hesitated for a moment and said slowly:

"Last night, Gu Li and I studied the reconstruction plan again. We found that there is a problem that we have been overlooking."

"What's the problem?" Bai Ming frowned.

Gu Mou pointed to the sand table map in front of him.

"You see, although the several strongholds we are stationed in are good for defense, it is not very convenient to communicate with each other. Once we are attacked, it will be difficult for reinforcements to arrive in time."

"It was fine when the strange beasts didn't appear. It doesn't matter."

"But now the alien beasts are like monsters that have escaped from the dungeon. No one can guarantee that they will appear there."

Bai Ming also frowned when he heard this.

Gu Mou is right.

In the ruins of the apocalypse, the gathering points of survivors are already scattered.

In addition, due to the rampage of strange beasts, many roads were blocked.

If an emergency occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.

"So, I plan to build a safe passage." Gu Mou said seriously.

"Connect several bases and share what they have. This way, we can not only provide timely support, but also bring the survivors closer together."

"That makes sense." Bai Ming nodded, agreeing with the proposal.

"However, I'm afraid that the construction project will not be completed in a short time. We need to send more people to move forward as soon as possible."

"Oh my god! Isn't that easy?"

Zhao Ruxing appeared at some point, grinning.

"Master, please leave it to me. Mengli and I will take a few brothers with us. I guarantee we can finish the work faster than those workers!"

"Just you?" Bai Ming laughed.

"What can a young boy do? Don't make trouble."

"I don't!" Zhao Ruxing shouted unconvinced.

"Master, you haven't seen it before. My muscles are so strong! I am the best at moving bricks and digging holes!"

Mengli joined in with a smile.

"That's right. My brother is the most capable. With him around, no task is a big deal."

Bai Ming glared at both of them helplessly.

"You two, please stop causing trouble. Huo Shan is watching over there at the safe passage. You two should just stay there and don't cause any trouble for others."

"Brother Huoshan? Isn't he still recuperating in the hospital?" Zhao Ruxing looked surprised.

Gu Mou heard this and explained with a smile:

"Huo Shan has recovered well. He was discharged from the hospital yesterday. He said he couldn't sit still and wanted to participate in the reconstruction. I thought, let him oversee the construction."

Bai Ming nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be great if Huo Shan could help.

With him around, everything at the safety passage will surely proceed smoothly.

"By the way, how is Amy doing? Is Huang Quan taking good care of her?"

Liu Wenli also entered the meeting room at this time and asked with concern.

When Amy was mentioned, Bai Ming's expression changed slightly.

After handing the person over to Huang Quan last night, he hasn't seen the girl again.

I don't know how she's adjusting.

"It should be... no problem." He hesitated, wondering if these two would fight.

He was not worried about Huang Quan's safety. Amy was in a weak period now and he could not cause any harm to her.

But what about Amy? Will Huang Quan be upset?

"I'll go ask Huang Quan in a bit. You guys discuss it first, and let me know if anything comes up."

After saying that, Bai Ming left in a hurry.

......

Huang Quan's residence is a simple hut.

On weekdays, she seldom goes out except for necessary official business.

She doesn't like socializing with people either.

Bai Ming knocked on the door.

"Huang Quan, it's me."

After a moment, the door creaked open.

What came into view was Huang Quan's cold face.

"Is there something?" she asked calmly, with no intention of letting Bai Ming in.

"Um...I came to see Amy." Bai Ming felt a little embarrassed.

"After I handed her over to you last night, I've been thinking about her the whole time...I wonder if she's getting used to being here with you?"

When Amy was mentioned, Huang Quan's expression changed.

She was silent for a moment, then moved aside to make room.

"Come in and talk."

Bai Ming felt relieved and quickly stepped in.

The house was simply furnished with a wooden table, a few rattan chairs, and nothing else.

In the corner, there was a closed door. Amy must be inside.

"Is Amy... okay?" Bai Ming asked cautiously.

Huang Quan snorted coldly.

"What's wrong with that? He eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats. Apart from not being talkative, he doesn't cause any trouble."

She paused, her tone subtle.

"I just don't know what he's thinking about, locking himself in the room all day long."

"She probably hasn't adapted to human life. Please be more patient with her," Bai Ming said comfortingly.

"She doesn't understand the ways of the world. We need to give her some time to slowly adapt."

Huang Quan's face became even gloomier as he listened to his words.

It seems that he has some complaints about Amy.

"I think, instead of letting her hide in the house, it's better to... let her go out for a walk."

She suddenly spoke, and said something shocking.

"You mean...let Amy out?" Bai Ming was surprised.

"But her identity..."

"What's wrong with that?" Huang Quan sneered.

"So what if she's a strange beast? Does she deserve to be locked up? Rather than letting her imagine all sorts of things, it's better to let her out so that everyone can see that she's harmless."

She paused.

"Besides... since you, Bai Ming, miss her so much, why don't you take her out for a walk yourself? So that she won't have to come to my place all the time to cause trouble."

Bai Ming was left speechless by what she said and didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Huang Quan's words clearly showed that he was jealous.

She thought Bai Ming came here to find her, but he kept calling her Amy.
