062 Shelter

Chen Xu had not removed his exoskeleton arm while washing because the danger had not been completely eliminated; it wasn't the time to let down his guard.

He rinsed back and forth seven or eight times until the nausea-inducing stench finally began to fade significantly.

"That's better," said Chen Xu as he set down the container and wiped the water off his face, signaling her to stop fetching water.

Only then did Yang Jinxia release the water container, washed her hands, and ran outside the greenhouse to take a deep breath.

"Thank you," Chen Xu followed her out.

Yang Jinxia smiled and said, "At times like this, we should support each other. I can't help with fighting, but at least I can pass you water."

While wringing out his clothing, Chen Xu silently thought that not everyone possessed such awareness.

Often, you know what you should do for the greatest benefit, but some inner conviction prevents you from doing it, or rather, from being able to do it.
