The next day, besides the brightness of the sky indicating daytime, the wind and snow did not diminish at all.
Xu Chen and her team mainly took care of half of the female soldiers, continuing to fortify the base, including the formation on the wooden building, wooden platform, and tower, strengthening the early warning and defense. Qingyin led the other half of the female soldiers to search the surrounding areas.
In this way, the day quickly passed, and the daytime in this place was already very short, while the cold night was long!
When Qingyin returned to the base with the female soldiers, the sky had already darkened.
Qingyin went back to her room to change clothes. She threw all the pearl-colored undergarments in a small basket and put on a new black corset and black shorts.
"Take the clothes in the room for washing!" After Qingyin walked out, she said to a young girl sentry outside the door.
The young girl blushed, glanced at Qingyin, and didn't say anything. She just went into the room.
In her heart, Qingyin was like an idol whom she admired. She was tall, had excellent martial arts, had stylish clothes, and had a handsome boyfriend... In every aspect, Qingyin was better than herself. It seemed that Qingyin's life was something she could only silently wait for on the sidelines, watching, a kind of happiness and satisfaction.
She walked into the room and looked at the clothes in the basket that still emitted the warmth of the girl she admired...
"The scent of Qingyin..."
Qingyin also knew that many female soldiers in the mercenary group had a crush on her, and of course, many also liked Star Dance. She didn't think much of it. Perhaps the female soldiers also hoped to gain Xu Chen's attention, but nobody was stupid. They could see how deeply Xu Chen cared for Qingyin and Star Dance. The bonds between them, with their female intuition, could feel that it had already surpassed what they could understand.
Even without saying all this, in terms of appearance, although the female soldiers were all beautiful, they still felt inferior in front of Qingyin and Star Dance and didn't dare to expect the captain's favor. Furthermore, they were a bit afraid of Qingyin.
So most of them turned their attention to Qingyin and Star Dance. Even if their infatuation was discovered, it seemed that there was no reason they could be punished.
"Qingyin!" Star Dance and Xu Chen walked over. "Get ready, tonight we will be responsible for guarding the front tower."
"Us?" Qingyin was surprised.
"Qingyin, our female soldiers are not many, and they have worked hard during the day. Let's help guard for a while so that they can rest more when they are on duty," Xu Chen said.
"Well, that's good."
That night, they divided into two groups to guard two towers. Xu Chen, Star Dance, and Qingyin were responsible for the front tower, and two female soldiers were assigned to the backdoor tower. Inside the base, only one female soldier was on guard.
Xu Chen and her team climbed up the tower. It was already after dinner, and most of the female soldiers had gone back to rest in the barracks.
It was already past 9 p.m.
"It's going to be cold tonight!" Xu Chen shivered as she sat on the wooden tower. After all, although the tower had a roof, it didn't have walls, only wooden railings. The heavy snow blew directly into the tower, which was only two square meters in size.
Xu Chen, Star Dance, and Qingyin were all wrapped in thick coats and cloaks, but they still couldn't resist the cold of the snow country.
"We are already like this. It's really hard for the female soldiers to be on guard at night!" Xu Chen said.
Star Dance lit a stove and heated some wine on it.
For a tower in the midst of a snowstorm, the stove really wasn't of much use...
"Qingyin, Star Dance," after drinking a few mouthfuls of wine, Xu Chen felt a bit better and said, "I've been thinking, if our sisters are all together, every day, going on adventures, exploring, venturing into the unknown world, that would truly be a romantic thing!"
"You're right, Xu Chen. We need to find our sisters as soon as possible, and this time, no matter what, we must never be separated again!" Star Dance leaned against the railing, sat on the ground, and looked at the snow-covered landscape below, saying.
"Well! After finding our sisters, we must embark on adventures in this endless unknown world! We can't just stay in bed all day, can we? Hehe!" Qingyin said with a smile.
"Come on, Qingyin. Let's have a drink together." Xu Chen held a wine jug and poured a cup for Qingyin as well.
Qingyin extended her delicate, jade-white hand with slender fingers and took the cup, also drinking a sip.
"Star Dance, tomorrow let's explore a further place! Let's drink to that!" Xu Chen also poured a drink for Star Dance.
"Sure! Qingyin, come along with us."
In the midst of the wind and snow, Qingyin, Xu Chen, and Star Dance raised their cups and drank some wine together.
