Morning arrived. Sunlight filtered through the base, casting a golden hue over the buildings. The weather was noticeably warmer than usual.
At this moment, more people than usual were heading out, each carrying bags on their backs. Among them was the father who had bought candies for his son yesterday.
"The sun's a little brighter today," Dai Yun mumbled to herself. "Maybe today won't be so bad!"
"Don't be so confident," Dai Rui warned. "Stay alert at all times. The place we're heading to is a dozen times more dangerous this time!"
"I know, I know! Quit nagging!" Dai Yun huffed.
Near the base gates, the Iron Gale Squad had already assembled early in the morning. Wang Bo needed at least another day of rest, so he wasn't joining them. Next to them stood Zhao Lin's team.
"Sister Dai! Thanks for the breakfast!" Zhao Lin exclaimed happily, munching on a piece of cheese while sipping warm mushroom soup from the thermos Dai Yun had given her.
