"Sis, I'm so tired..."
Chu River didn't say much, just gently lifted his upper body and placed it on her knee.
She absentmindedly ran her fingers through his hair, now a complete mess of tangled weeds.
"Good boy, I know. Get some sleep."
Hearing her words, Little Yellow didn't even manage a response before he fell into a deep slumber.
At this moment, only twenty-five minutes had passed since the end of the rescue.
...
Chu River looked at Little Yellow, now fully transformed. Based on her experience with new recruits, no matter what, this silly boy's character is commendable.
That was enough.
She gently placed him back on the ground, then walked over to the captain sitting idly by, resting.
"So the rescue supplies will arrive at around 3 AM, right?"
The captain struggled to rise, his body aching, and it took him a while to grit his teeth and answer.
"Yes, that's the fastest they can get here."
Chu River nodded.
"Then, I'll take my companion and leave first."
