  Gu Mengmeng hugged herself with both her arms and leaned into Elvis’s embrace. She was half-lying against Elvis’s chest while standing and did not say a single word, just standing there quietly.

  “If you’re unhappy, you can leave Saint Nazaire,” Elvis’s icy cold voice could be heard above her.

  The corners of Gu Mengmeng lips curved upwards. She must admit that Elvis’s attitude of firmly standing on her side instead of asking who’s right or wrong pleased Gu Mengmeng. She knew what a female meant to a tribe. She would also not give up on a female that easily even if it’s such an annoying fellow like Nina. For Saint Nazaire’s development, didn’t she hold it in for so long too?

  But principles and attitude were two vastly different things.

  Gu Mengmeng was someone who did not like to create trouble for others and since Elvis supported her unconditionally, she naturally would not make things difficult for him.

  Thus, Gu Mengmeng gave Nina a way out and said, “Or, you can ask your males to learn how to preserve their meat with everyone else. That way, you can store enough food before winter comes.”


  Nina did not say a word as she bit onto her lower lip and turned her head back with a jolt, stepping a few steps to her side.

  Seeing how the fellow who was a hindrance had left, Gu Mengmeng waved her hands at everyone, signaling them to bring their meat over.

  Although the males were not standing as neat and uniform as a square matrix of the liberation army, they all stood in order and maintained a shoulder distance from one another in front of Gu Mengmeng, waiting for her to instruct the next step.

  Gu Mengmeng took out the salt crystals that she asked Elvis to smash into powder form earlier and demonstrated once how to preserve the meat. Then, she pointed at the mountain of salt crystals at the empty spot and asked everyone to preserve it the way she did.

  Until everyone finished preserving their meat, she taught them how to dry the meat using tree branches and vines to hang them up. After she finished explaining everything, Gu Mengmeng and Sandy started walking through the crowd of males and guided or correct them at appropriate times. Although the males could not understand this weird method, when would they have the chance to interact so closely with females? With just this opportunity, it was worth to die of hunger during winter.

  And furthermore, these things were originally supposed to be provided for the four females in the tribe. Now that it became their storage rations, it was great to have something to eat during winter and whether the taste was good or not did not matter much anymore.

  Thus, a bunch of people started preserving their meat with enthusiasm, then hang the meat up to dry. Everything looked like it was in good order.

  “Ah tsk!” The unharmonious voice rang throughout the air once again. Gu Mengmeng did not need to turn back when a thick and darkened vein burst at the corner of her forehead. She knew that this voice that sounded like a broken gong was Nina stirring trouble again. She glanced back swiftly and fiercely before seeing Nina spitting something on the ground and pointing at Quentin, scolding him, “What the hell are you preserving? This is too awful! You’re simply just wasting food! Don’t you know that I already have very little food this winter? And you’re still wasting some more here, do you want me to die of hunger?!”


  Gu Mengmeng wanted to say something but Sandy said before to not interfere in others’ problems.

  This punishment is skillfully given by one and gladly accepted by another. What position was she in to speak out of turn?

  Thus, Gu Mengmeng forced herself to pretend that she did not hear Nina making oblique accusations and continued guiding other males in preserving their meat.

  Seeing how Gu Mengmeng did not have any reaction, Nina gave herself a thumbs-up deep down in her heart and felt that she was on the winning end this time round. But consolidating Gu Mengmeng’s behavior of not quarreling as long as she could land a finger on her, Nina eventually decided to not get greedy. Thus, she twitched her fat butt and one of her partners evolved into beast form to let her ride on him. Then, she looked up at the sky and said, “Let’s go home. Don’t continue staying here to wreck more food. If all of you have the time, why don’t you hunt more prey for me? Why are all of you blindly holding up more time? Tsk!”
