Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

To ensure the valley's safety, Ye Wan decided to lead the team on a comprehensive survey. Although the valley appeared peaceful and tranquil, she knew only a thorough investigation of the surroundings and the elimination of all potential hazards would allow the team to rest and recuperate safely. She carefully arranged the tasks and led everyone on a thorough exploration of the valley.

First, she had the young and middle-aged members split into small groups and spread out from the valley entrance to the surrounding areas around the stream, carefully scanning the terrain for hidden entrances or potential threats. Each team member was instructed to remain highly alert, paying close attention to their surroundings and guarding against potential wild animals. She also redeemed some basic protective gear from the system and distributed it to the team members, so that they could respond promptly in the event of an emergency.

During their inspection, the team discovered that the valley was surrounded by steep cliffs, with only a single, relatively narrow entrance. This provided a natural advantage for its defense. The towering rocks on either side of the entrance made it ideal for rotating guards to prevent sudden attacks from wild animals or unidentified individuals. Everyone felt fortunate, believing it to be an ideal refuge.

Meanwhile, Ye Wan led another team to explore the creek's surroundings, determining the water's cleanliness and flow, ensuring a stable and long-term supply for the team's needs. Further upstream, she also arranged for the team to conduct water quality tests, using filtration tools to check for contamination and ensure the safety of everyone's drinking water. The results showed that the stream water was clear and free of impurities, making it suitable for long-term drinking. Ye Wan designated the stream as the primary water source and established areas for drinking and washing to further ensure the hygiene of domestic water.

Deeper in the valley, Ye Wan led some experienced team members to carefully examine the plants and soil. She found the soil to be quite fertile, suitable for growing wild vegetables and drought-tolerant crops. She planned to lead the team in collecting wild vegetable seeds and experiment with planting them here to increase their food supply. Under her guidance, the team collected some drought-tolerant plant seeds and cleared a small plot for experimental planting.

Throughout the inspection, she emphasized safety precautions, urging everyone to carry tools to protect against wild animal attacks. She assigned young and middle-aged members to take turns guarding the entrance and established a simple security system to prevent any outside threats from entering at night. Everyone followed her instructions strictly, ensuring that everything was fully prepared.

A young team member, standing guard at the entrance, said with emotion, "Miss Wan has thought of everything. This valley is not only secluded, but we can also be on guard against external dangers at any time. It's truly a perfect refuge."

Another team member nearby nodded in praise, "Yes, Miss Wan not only led us to this place, but also arranged it in an orderly manner, which made us all feel at ease."

After a full day of meticulous inspections, everyone confirmed that the environment inside and outside the valley was sufficiently safe. The valley's terrain was easily defended and difficult to attack, and its abundant water resources and lush vegetation would guarantee the team's supplies to a certain extent. Everyone's faces were filled with relief, and their admiration for Ye Wan deepened.

Ye Wan gathered all the members together, summarized the results of the investigation, and said with a smile, "Thanks to everyone's efforts, we have confirmed the safety of the valley. During this time, we can rest here in peace, store sufficient resources, and make more thorough preparations for the journey ahead."

Her words were full of encouragement, and everyone nodded in agreement. Many people said to her gratefully, "Miss Wan, you are truly our lucky star. Finding this place has finally given us a chance to breathe."

Ye Wan smiled gently and comforted him, "We are a whole. Everyone's safety is the most important thing. As long as we unite as one, there will be no hurdle that we cannot overcome."

As night fell, everyone spent a peaceful and tranquil night in the valley. The night watchmen took turns on duty, strictly following Ye Wan's instructions without a moment's slack. Ye Wan's meticulousness and leadership made everyone feel safe, and everyone found a long-awaited sense of relaxation and peace of mind in the valley.

Over the next few days, Ye Wan led the team through the valley, continuing to stockpile food and gather resources, experimenting with growing wild vegetables and setting up basic infrastructure for long-term survival. Her wisdom and patience allowed everyone to fully recuperate in the valley, and their trust in her grew stronger, leading them to regard her as a true leader.
