Chapter 95

I didn't know what I did to deserve having to travel with the General, but whatever it was, I was really, truly, sorry.

 

The first few days after encountering Guo Yan were great. The General left us alone, pretending that we just didn't exist and that was pure perfection as far as I was concerned. I was sure that he felt it was a punishment, but in reality, I considered it a reward.  I spent my time talking to the guys, sleeping up in trees with the rest of the team, and generally living a good life. But then it all came crashing to an end when we entered District J…

 

The General, in a rare show of goodwill, allowed us to separate in order to gather supplies. I was pretty sure that this was more strategic than him trying to be nice, after all his team had a more desperate need of supplies than we did, and I think he wanted to do it this way simply so that we didn't 'steal' what he wanted and needed.
