Chapter 336: Chapter 336 Start of the Battle

"Why?" asked Bai Junjun unconsciously.

"Because we have nothing but our lives, but it’s different here. They have too much to lose, so they will desperately calculate how to act in their own best interest.

Just like you, when you had no Space, you didn’t think about anything, but once we both shared a Space, you started thinking about how to occupy more territory."

"..." Bai Junjun was speechless.

She knew this guy wouldn’t say anything nice; she’d be foolish to take his explanations seriously.

Bai Junjun turned her head, ignoring the person beside her, but Li Wenli approached with a smile, "What I’m saying is right, isn’t it?"

"You must have thought this way yourself, which is why you’re speculating about me like this," Bai Junjun said, glancing at him with irritation.

The Fox blinked innocently, "That’s unfair. Although we share a Space, I’ve never thought that it belongs only to me."

"Then stop thinking about it," Bai Junjun retorted.

"Tsk, Captain Polar Bear is as overbearing and greedy as ever," Li Wenli said helplessly. "Yet it was you who asked me, and now you’re unhappy with my answer."

"It’s my fault for asking the wrong person," she admitted.

"No, that won’t do. If you’re foolish enough to ask me, does that not mean I am also foolish? I am, after all, the most intelligent and masterful strategist in the world," he boasted.

"Hmph."

The scene that Lame Man Uncle turned around to see was of the two of them flirting and quibbling with each other.

Through their time together, he had realized that Sasa, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Shan were Bai Junjun’s genuine siblings. As for Li Wenli, he figured the guy must be Junjun Girl’s childhood sweetheart or betrothed from infancy.

Their pretense of being siblings was merely to protect the young lady’s reputation. After all, for a young woman to travel through mountains and rivers with a young man, sharing food and lodging along the way, would lead to gossip that could mar her reputation for life if it got out. She might end up only able to marry Li Wenli, and even then, she could face criticism for impropriety.

Their concealment was justified.

However, they did seem to be a good match, and the fondness between them made one nostalgically recall younger days.

Lame Man Uncle smiled slightly, pretending not to have noticed their interaction.

He then earnestly instructed everyone to work hard and not to mess up.

And so, the two of them stayed in the Armory for another two days.

Bai Sasa was eager to join them, but with two younger brothers to look after, and their ages being very young at that,

Li Wenli and Bai Junjun blending in with the ruddy men might pass muster, but if an eighteen-year-old girl came along, it would be too conspicuous.

So, they could only stay in the Tube-shaped Building. Ever since the battle that day, the Man-eating Eagle had disappeared, and everyone had been able to live in peace.

Of course, over those two days, Bai Junjun made a discovery.

In the Armory, they found a Sand Table with defense layouts. Only then did they realize they truly were in the most inner part of the battlefield. These military camps were scattered like stars across the region, surrounded by many dug trenches and pits for traps.

Carefully counted, there were eight hundred defensive positions and barracks. If one didn’t follow the designated routes, they would fall into traps, but following the designated paths would lead them to encounter layers upon layers of defenses.

To put it simply, blindly wandering without guidance was certain to trap one in this area.

Bai Junjun asked Li Wenli to secretly make an impression of this Sand Table layout.

With it in hand, choosing the time to leave became a matter of waiting for the right day.

However, just as they were seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, a large number of troops suddenly arrived, ordering that all the repaired weaponry in the Armory be transported to the front lines.

Even Lame Man Uncle received orders that the Armory was to move forward.

Everyone’s faces turned solemn, and they began asking around to find out what had happened.

The newcomer sighed, "The situation at the front has become critical."
