"Try to be quick," Liora said, watching as Chen Wei and Liang Zihan gathered their weapons and checked their surroundings before stepping outside. The street was eerily quiet in the early morning light.

"We'll try to come as soon as possible," Liang Zihan assured her. "Keep your vigilance close. We don't know who else might be watching."

Liora sighed, turning back to the supplies. Zhou Yinuo sat cross-legged on a crate. She was looking at Liora with her dove-like eyes, her hands playing with a small rusty dagger, which was given by Chen Wei.

"Guess it's just us," Zhou Yinuo mused. "Do you think we'll get any visitors?"

Liora sighed. "Let's hope not."

But deep down, they both knew that in this world, hope was a fragile thing. And it was better not to hope for anything at all.
