Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
These big and small matters added together slowed down their progress even more. By the time they arrived at the grassland, Zou Bo and the others had been there for half a month. In the beginning, when the sky was still bright, they could travel day and night. However, when the Eternal Night arrived, they could not care about time. Those who had the energy to quarrel and cause trouble in the beginning did not have the energy to do so later on. There was only one thought left in everyone’s mind, and that was to hurry to the destination.

With hope, everyone swept away the fatigue of these days of traveling and continued forward in one go. However, as they got closer and closer, they realized that they had not reached the place. This was only a very small tribe.
As Zou Bo’s camp was small, he and his people had already walked up to the people of the first base before the other party could get close. The two groups of people got closer and closer, and Zou Bo also saw who the leader of the other team was. “Captain Zuo? It’s actually you!” Zou Bo said excitedly, “When I saw so many people walking over here, I thought it might be you guys. I didn’t expect it to really be you guys! Why did you take so long to get here?”
It had been more than 20 days since they met on the road. Zou Bo had not seen anyone from the first base for so many days. He thought that they had taken another route and should have arrived at the base long ago. He did not expect that Zuo Mingdong and the others to take more than 20 days to reach this place.
Zuo Mingdong looked at Zou Bo and forced a smile. “We have many people, and we also have many things. Today, someone stole someone else’s pillow; tomorrow, someone snatches someone else’s eggs. There were people who kicked up a fuss every day, so we took some time. Look at these tents. You’ve been here for a long time?” Zou Bo smiled and nodded. “We’ve been living here for almost half a month. We’ve basically settled down.”
Zuo Mingdong sighed softly. “If we hadn’t been delayed for so long, we would have settled down long ago…”
Zou Bo stepped forward to comfort him, “It’s not your fault. What do you plan to do next? After traveling for such a long time, are you planning to rest here or continue on your way?”
Zuo Mingdong looked at the time. “It’s too late today. Everyone is tired. We won’t leave today. We’ll set off tomorrow after resting. Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on my people and won’t let them cause trouble at your place.”
“Captain Zuo, what are you talking about? Of course, I believe you. If you need any help, just let me know. I’ll do my best to help!”

Although I don’t have anything good to give you, I have some grass that tastes similar to wild vegetables. If you don’t mind, I’ll get someone to send some over to fill your stomachs.”
Zuo Mingdong was shocked. Was there something wrong with his ears? What did Zou Bo say he was going to give him?
Grass? Seeing the confusion on Zuo Mingdong’s face, Zou Bo repeated, “You didn’t hear wrongly. I’m talking about grass.” Zou Bo smiled. “When 1 first came here and heard that this grass tastes like vegetables and can also replenish nutrients, 1 was as surprised as you. But now, we’re all used to it!”
“Is this grass unique to the grasslands?” Zuo Mingdong asked with some doubt.
“It’s not that.” Zou Bo shook his head. “You should have seen it on the way here. The grassland has long become a wasteland. There’s only some grass growing around here. It was the first people who were stationed here. They live there—” Zou Bo said as he pointed to the distance for Zuo Mingdong to see. Zuo Mingdong looked in the direction of his finger and indeed saw a light. Under the illumination of the lamplight, one could vaguely see the outline of a courtyard.
“There are three young people living in that courtyard. However, they’re all very capable. Their courtyard is surrounded by an electric fence, and there are two cars in the courtyard. They’re also raising farm animals. Let’s not even mention how comfortable their lives are. I’m so envious.”
Zou Bo was still talking non-stop, and it took him a long time to notice Zuo Mingdong staring blankly at the courtyard. No one knew what he was thinking. Zou Bo looked at Zuo Mingdong, who was in a daze, and could not help but feel a little strange.. “Captain Zuo, are you listening to me?”
