Chapter 113: A Beautiful Dream

Chapter 113: A Beautiful Dream

Xiao Hua ushered Bai Mu inside and waited for him to sit on the sofa before jumping right into the conversation, "Brother Bai, what's the next mission?"

Bai Mu took out the copied mission details from his space, "Originally, I had selected several options and was planning to choose one from them. But today, my uncle contacted me unexpectedly and asked us to take on this mission first."

Xiao Hua held a piece of paper in her hand and saw a few bold, powerful characters at the top: "Confiscate the Treasure Trove."

"Treasure Trove?" Xiao Hua read it out slowly, then looked up at Bai Mu, "What the heck is this?"

"From the city center to the outskirts of City C, there's a hidden Treasure Trove with a lot of stock and many good things."

Xiao Hua became more and more confused as she listened. She leaned slightly towards Bai Mu, "City C? Brother Bai, are you sure?"

They had just traveled all the way from City C, so how could they not know about such a place?

Moreover, City C had long been overrun by zombies. How could there still be a Treasure Trove? This is ridiculous.

Bai Mu took out a map of City C and a pen, marking an area with the pen.

"I wasn't aware of it either, but my uncle provided evidence to confirm it. It's roughly within this range, but the specific location is hidden and hard to find."

Xiao Hua's finger touched the area Bai Mu pointed to, unconsciously circling it a couple of times, then frowned.

"This is already the outskirts of the city. There must be a lot of zombies there. Ordinary people can't come and go normally, right?"

"There must be hidden entrances and secret passages." Bai Mu moved the pen and marked several locations on the map.

Xiao Hua straightened up again, looking at the marked locations from a distance, "Are these the suspected targets?"

"Yes."

She nodded, "I'm fine with it. I'll follow your arrangements."

"Good." Bai Mu smiled and nodded, putting everything away, then gave Xiao Hua a deep look, "This mission location is in the city, so the danger level is higher. Don't do anything rash."

Xiao Hua: "..."

Xiao Hua smiled politely, "I'm never one to act on impulse."

Once they wrapped up their conversation, Bai Mu didn't linger any longer and soon bid farewell to Xiao Hua and left.

Xiao Hua went into the bathroom to wash up. After taking a shower and changing into her pajamas, she couldn't help but think about what had happened earlier.

Ugh!

Xiao Hua silently screamed in her heart, quickly put on her pajamas, then climbed into bed and wrapped herself in the blanket, ready to sleep.

If she fell asleep, she wouldn't have to think about it anymore.

Bullshit.

At six o'clock the next morning, when the sky was still not fully bright, Xiao Hua sat on the bed with messy hair, staring wide-eyed and questioning her life.

Xiao Hua felt like she was bewitched. Otherwise, how could she have dreamed about Bai Mu, and in a state where he had taken off his clothes?

Moreover, Bai Mu was seducing her. It was a full-on, seductive invitation, with his eyes inviting her to sink into it together.

So embarrassing, just so damn embarrassing.

No, she had seen men's upper bodies before, but she had never reacted so strongly.

Could it be that being single for so long had made her unbearably thirsty? Even more absurd was that her teammate was the object of her desire.

Xiao Hua: "..."

Xiao Hua took a few deep breaths, then threw off the blanket and rushed to the bathroom to turn on the shower.

She decided to take a shower to clear her head.

After the shower, Xiao Hua found a reason for herself.

She must have had too much to drink last night; her mind was foggy and unclear. For her physical and mental health, she absolutely must not drink again.

That's it, then.

Xiao Hua yawned, clearly still not fully rested, so she simply climbed back into bed to catch up on sleep.

She thought the shower would wake her up completely and she wouldn't be able to sleep, but after lying in bed for a while, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Maybe she was just too exhausted from last night and hadn't rested enough.

After a nap, she woke up again at 11 a.m.

Xiao Hua got up again, freshened up in the bathroom, then went downstairs to join the others for brunch.

During lunch, Bai Mu announced the next mission and set the departure time for three days later.

Xiao Hua stayed unusually quiet during the meal, not joining in the conversation or responding to anyone.

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, honestly, facing the subject of her erotic dream, there was still a hint of secret embarrassment deep inside.

So she still couldn't bring herself to look directly at Bai Mu, much less have a normal conversation.

Bai Mu noticed and called out to Xiao Hua after the meal, "Xiao Hua."

"Hmm?" Xiao Hua tried to act as if nothing was wrong, but still felt a bit awkward.

Bai Mu looked at Xiao Hua's expression and asked with concern, "Did you drink too much last night? Does your head still hurt?"

Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment, then mumbled in response, "Mhm."

So Bai Mu thought she had a headache from drinking too much. That's good, that's good.

Seeing Xiao Hua so listless, Bai Mu was silent for a while, then pointed to the sofa, "Sit down and rest first."

Xiao Hua sat down on the sofa, looking up at Bai Mu, and then what?

Bai Mu didn't say anything more, just walked straight to the kitchen, taking Tang Yi with him, and started fiddling with something inside.

Xiao Hua was curious, but she still felt a bit uncomfortable and didn't want to be alone with Bai Mu.

She simply curled up on the sofa, propping her chin and spacing out.

Half an hour later, Bai Mu brought over a cup of brown liquid and handed it to Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua leaned back slightly, "...What is this?"

"A remedy for your hangover," Bai Mu pushed it forward a bit more, "Drink it, it will make you feel better."

"Thanks, Brother Bai," Xiao Hua smiled and took it, about to take a sip.

"Be careful, it's hot," Bai Mu reminded her as he watched.

"Oh," Xiao Hua realized, using her powers to transfer heat from the cup through her hand, instantly cooling it off, then downed it in one go.

Bai Mu naturally took the cup back and carried it to the kitchen.

Zhao Ye, watching from the side, suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Brother Bai, I want some too!"

"It's in the kitchen; help yourself."
