Lush and proud of its furry self, Shu Shuishui had no worries about ending up bald. Not only did it lack such concerns, but it even chatted with Yu Jin about the issue the next day, patting Yu Jin’s head with its little paw to console him. “I know you envy my fur. It’s natural, envy can’t be helped.”

Yu Jin: “…” Trying hard to maintain a smile.

Perched on Yu Jin’s shoulder, Shu Shuishui continued to offer experienced advice. “Have you been shedding recently? That’s why you have these concerns. Young man, get enough sleep and don’t overthink. Otherwise, when you lose it all, you’ll have to rely on hats to keep warm. But it’s normal to experience some shedding during seasonal changes…blah blah blah…”

Yu Jin: “…” Unable to keep smiling, Yu Jin even self-doubted and looked in the mirror to confirm that he still had a good amount of hair. However, in the face of Shu Shuishui’s proud and furry appearance, his argument lost its persuasiveness. Apparently, in Shu Shuishui’s eyes, only humans with furry hair belonged to the shedding species.

undefinedIt was only the next day that Shu Shuishui learned about the base’s decision to relocate. When the three of them were discussing the destination on the map, Shu Shuishui climbed up and squatted on the map, carefully studying it.

This map had undergone many modifications and was likely drawn after the disaster, so it corresponded more closely to the current situation.

“The map’s information is incomplete. Currently, most of the road sections leading to Area B are damaged, and some of the information about the road sections hasn’t been updated after the destruction. There are also many uninhabited areas along the way, possibly hiding mutated creatures. Roughly estimating, it will take about ten days to reach the vicinity of Area B…” While speaking, Nan Ge used a pen to draw the approximate route on the map.

When passing by Shu Shuishui’s location, Shu Shuishui tried to raise its little paw, allowing the pen marks to pass beneath its feet. Then it followed closely behind Nan Ge’s hand, walking toward the destination on the map.

The final destination was another city, which seemed to have been an inland city rather than a highly developed first-tier city. Shu Shuishui noticed many simplified symbols of mountains and rivers around that city, with no densely populated urban areas nearby.

As it was an internal meeting, only the three of them and a mouse participated. After deciding on the relocation destination, Nan Ge would further communicate with the forces of Fei Luo and Hu Sichen.

In Gu Langu’s base, there were currently only 108 people left. When Shu Shuishui heard this number, its little ears twitched. Gu Langu noticed and wondered why the little mouse was interested in the number 108.

Shu Shuishui raised its paw. “What about me? Can I join the base and make it an even number? How about 109?”

Yu Jin couldn’t help bursting into laughter. “Since when is 109 considered an even number?”

Shu Shuishui crossed its paws, intertwining its fingers and knocking its index fingers together. After a moment, it stopped. “As a single mouse, I can substitute for two people. So, 110 is an even number. It’s non-negotiable!”

Yu Jin burst into laughter, finding the little dormouse on the map adorable. He reached out and pinched Shu Shui’s soft nape, lifting it up and placing it on a small hill not far from Area B. “A water creature that can replace two people deserves this hill. How about that?”

Shu Shuishui shook its fur and carefully inspected the area, even walking around the small hill with small steps. “Really? This place is nice. With dangerous peaks and verdant mountains behind, a gentle slope in front, the Green Dragon on the left, and two mountains facing each other in the east, it has the aura of welcoming purple energy. The central part is slightly concave, giving off a gathering and accumulating vibe. It’s a feng shui treasure land.”
