Chapter 48: Intelligent 360-Degree Surveillance

As the morning light pierced through the RV windows, the bitter cold of last night's hailstorm gradually faded, replaced by warm rays of sunshine.

Su Chen had already woken up early and was busy preparing breakfast.

He was still debating last night's incident with the young girl.

Er Bao had slept with him, while the storm raged outside. The weather had turned so cold that people needed to wear padded jackets, yet Tang Guo'er had only been wearing a JK-style school uniform. Worried she might catch a cold, Su Chen had turned on the heater.

It was rare for the heater to be on inside the RV, making it pleasantly warm. As a result, Su Chen had a restful sleep.

With an extra person on board, he needed to prepare an additional serving for breakfast. However, given his ample food supplies, that was hardly an issue.

A good breakfast required both meat and staple foods.

As usual, Su Chen opened the kitchen window for ventilation while preparing the meal.

After a short while, he finished grilling skewers, meat slices, and potatoes, and even poured two glasses of cola.

Meanwhile, Tang Guo'er was still sound asleep, her head buried under the covers. Unexpectedly, the seemingly delicate girl, who wore a JK uniform every day, turned out to snore.

Not wanting to wake her, Su Chen simply called Er Bao and Jun Ma over to eat.

Jun Ma trudged out groggily, showing little interest in the food. His favorite was still fresh grass—there was some truth to the saying that "old horses prefer tender grass."

Su Chen had prepared a large pile of fresh grass outside the RV, which Jun Ma happily munched on.

Er Bao, however, was entirely different. He not only loved sleeping on a big bed but also enjoyed eating meat, just like Su Chen.

"Ahh~ so comfortable."

From beneath the blanket, a small hand stretched out lazily.

"This is the first time I've slept so well in days."

As soon as she woke up, Su Chen and Er Bao were already staring blankly at her, still chewing on their food.

"You… your button is undone."

"Ah! You pervert!"

Tang Guo'er's face instantly turned red. She grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it at him.

Thud!

A large pillow smacked directly into Su Chen's face.

"Damn, that hurt! My nose is going to collapse!"

Su Chen looked helpless, barely holding back the words he wanted to say.

"Come eat breakfast. You should always have a good meal in the morning."

Su Chen spoke calmly.

Tang Guo'er awkwardly climbed out of bed and glanced at the breakfast spread on the table.

"Wow! This is way too luxurious! I haven't had such a rich breakfast in so long!"

"I've been eating dry bread for dinner; I never even hoped for a good breakfast."

"There's even a bottle of cola… this is heaven!"

Tang Guo'er clutched her stomach, which was growling nonstop. She hadn't eaten dinner last night, aside from some fruit Su Chen had given her.

As she enjoyed her meal, her mind drifted to thoughts of her parents.

The weather had been so cold last night—how were her parents doing?

They must be worried about me…

She stole a glance at Su Chen. He seemed like a reliable person. Maybe she could find a way to ask for his help in searching for them.

"Big brother, I don't even know your name yet."

"That's not important. Just call me Xiao Su."

Su Chen wasn't keen on revealing his identity. After all, practically everyone in the world knew who he was. If word got out, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Outside, Jun Ma continued munching on grass. Since he hadn't had a chance to run around these past few days, his energy wasn't depleted, and his appetite wasn't as big as usual.

He only managed to eat about half of what he normally would.

In truth, he longed for a chance to stretch his legs. He wondered when Su Chen would finally take him out for a run.

Feeling full, Jun Ma trotted back into the RV to rest. But the moment he spotted Tang Guo'er, his eyes widened.

"Wow, a naturally beautiful girl! I like her already~"

"That damn Su Chen actually brought a girl home for the night!"

"Stupid horse, stop talking nonsense!"

Su Chen scolded him.

"I just saw her alone outside and let her stay for the night."

Tang Guo'er nearly jumped in surprise when she saw a white horse prancing into the RV. The space was already small, and with Jun Ma inside, there was barely any room left.

Jun Ma took an immediate liking to Tang Guo'er. He loved all beautiful girls.

"Brother Su, can I stay with you until I find my parents? I don't have anywhere else to go."

After a moment of hesitation, Su Chen agreed.

After all, she was just a young girl. Compared to bringing along a man, he'd much rather have a girl around—it made for a more pleasant atmosphere.

However, Su Chen preferred solitude. If he kept her with him for too long, it would be difficult to hide his system from her.

After some thought, he decided to help her find her parents as soon as possible.

"Guo'er, let's take a walk around today. Maybe we'll run into your parents."

"They might be somewhere nearby."

"Alright! I was originally planning to go look for them on my own."

"But since you're willing to help, it's definitely better to go together!"

Su Chen went to the main interface of his system and, after a few minutes, took out a white padded jacket.

"Here, take this. It's way too cold for you to be wearing just a JK uniform."

Tang Guo'er hesitated as she accepted the jacket.

"Th…thanks."

Su Chen and Tang Guo'er set off for a walk, leaving Er Bao and Jun Ma in the RV.

It was just the two of them walking alone now, which felt a bit awkward.

To ease the tension, Su Chen stepped a little closer to Tang Guo'er as they strolled side by side down the road.

Their luck was pretty good today. Barely ten minutes after heading out, they came across a large mystery box.

Su Chen was quite fond of these—today's outing wasn't a waste after all.

He opened the box.

Inside was a small, camera-like device.

It could effectively monitor everything within a 30-meter radius.

It seemed useful, though the range was still somewhat limited.

Su Chen held back from enhancing it—after all, there was a girl beside him.

"This is great! With this, I can scan the area and find my parents!"

"Yeah, this will definitely make things much easier. Let's give it a try."

Su Chen activated the surveillance device. The screen first showed the base of a tree. He panned it to the left… and immediately saw a couple making out in the bushes.

"Uh… this is awkward."

Su Chen quickly tossed the monitor aside. This thing was basically a peeping tool!

"I'm done with this. You take over."

He handed the device to Tang Guo'er.

She caught it and scanned the surroundings. Moments later, her face turned beet red—who knew what she had just seen?

"This… this is too much…"

She spun the camera around, zooming in and out for quite a while, but her parents were nowhere to be found. All it left her with was flushed cheeks.

"It looks like they're not within this 30-meter range. Let's move and check somewhere else."

Tang Guo'er grabbed Su Chen's hand and started running.

It was clear how much she cared about finding her parents.
