"Basic Night Vision..."

Looking at the reward provided by the system, Lin Yi felt that this reward was still very important to him.

In the city, it's okay, the danger is not great.

If on the island, having stronger night vision ability would somewhat enhance combat power.

Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a wave of soreness and pain in his eyes, and couldn't open them.

But it didn't last long before it disappeared.

When he opened his eyes again, he found a double image around him and felt a dizzying sensation.

This feeling lasted for more than half a minute.

The double images around then merged into one.

At that moment, Lin Yi discovered that the world in his eyes became much clearer.

Avoiding the lights in the park, Lin Yi looked at the unlit corner.

It was two in the morning, the darkest time of day, yet Lin Yi could clearly see the silhouettes of buildings in the night.

Although many details were still indistinct, it was much better than before.

Ring ring ring—

The phone in Lin Yi's pocket rang; it was Li Chuhan calling.

"Have you arrived?"

"Just got here not long ago," Lin Yi said:

"Why are you still up at this hour?"

"I can't sleep while you're driving overnight," Li Chuhan said softly. "I'm waiting for you in the parking lot outside the district."

"Huh? You're here?"

"It's too late, I was afraid you wouldn't have anywhere to go at night, so I came to pick you up."

"Wait for me outside, I'll come to find you now."

"Okay."

Hanging up Li Chuhan's call, Lin Yi packed his things and jogged out of the park, spotting Li Chuhan's red G-Class on his left.

He opened the car door and got in.

Li Chuhan was wearing loose jeans, a white hoodie, and a black baseball cap, a sporty style of dress that surprisingly matched the car.

If a stranger saw her, they probably wouldn't expect her to be a famous female doctor.

"Why did you come out at night? I could've stayed at a hotel."

"I was just at home reading papers, and couldn't sleep. Since I was up anyway, I came to find you."

"I know your little thoughts," Lin Yi gently pinched Li Chuhan's face. "It's tough on you, staying by my side."

Li Chuhan turned her head, the dim streetlight illuminating her fair and round face.

At that moment, it seemed all the world's gentleness was favoring her.

"But with you by my side, it's not tough."

"Let's not say such sentimental things, let's go home and sleep."

"Okay."

Despite being usually busy with work, Li Chuhan drove steadily all the way.

After reaching home, Li Chuhan habitually fetched slippers for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took off his clothes and went to take a shower. Li Chuhan took the opportunity to make him a cup of ginseng tea, hoping he'd have a good sleep.

At night, the two of them slept embraced.

Slept soundly, did nothing.

Early the next morning, they woke up just after nine and, according to their routine, started the day feeling refreshed.

Since there were no morning consultations, after their exercise, Li Chuhan went to prepare breakfast for Lin Yi.

When the two went out, it was already close to noon.

Li Chuhan went to the hospital, but Lin Yi didn't go to the courier station; instead, he went to the research institute.

The development progress was faster than he expected.

In about a week, the new equipment would be ready.

Lin Yi was full of anticipation for the new equipment.

Only with increased combat power could the chances of survival on the island significantly increase.

Altogether, Lin Yi and Zhao Chunyan talked for over two hours.

Besides the batch of equipment previously customized, there were Lin Yi's ideas for other weapons.

Zhao Chunyan was very responsible, meticulously noting down all of Lin Yi's requirements and discussing their feasibility, to the point that they lost track of time while chatting.

After finishing all the ideas, Lin Yi noticed it was already past three in the afternoon.

Leaving the research institute, Lin Yi returned to his car but didn't leave immediately, instead leaning his head back and calmly thinking.

There were things he hadn't noticed before, but after meeting Liang Xianghe, he realized he was complacent.

Liang Xianghe had the ability to unknowingly find out about his side of things.

Perhaps other organizations could do the same.

And, what he did in the Middle East, though not blatantly, was still seen by many.

The destruction of the Halke Cavalry Research Institute might soon be known to various organizations.

Unexpectedly, Liang Xianghe also discovered clues about this and then tracked it to the research institute.

If other organizational people did the same, then his current situation could be described as besieged on all sides.

Lin Yi squinted his eyes, looking sharp and shrewd.

After gaining night vision, his vision became keener, and even the smallest details couldn't escape his eyes.

However, despite this, he found no abnormalities.

Given the current situation, Lin Yi couldn't guarantee whether the research institute's information had leaked.

He could only take one step at a time, confront soldiers with generals and water with soil.

"Ah..."

Lin Yi sighed, "You can't wrap fire in paper forever..."

Mumbling to himself, Lin Yi drove away.

What's meant to come will come; seeking peace in one place is unrealistic.

When returning to the courier station, it was already past four in the afternoon.

There was no one at the Xinsheng Garden location, so Lin Yi headed to the Peace Road store.

Xu Wen was busy in the small warehouse arranging work, too occupied to even tidy her messy hair.

In the days he was away, Xu Wen had hired a few new people, who looked like seasoned workers in this industry, handling tasks swiftly, much better than he was.

"Wish the boss lady prosperous business,"

Xu Wen, with her back to Lin Yi, turned to look over when she heard his voice.

"You're really something, going on a long trip like that."

"I was bored and wanted to experience life."

"But you were impressive, reaching Ice City in just 22 hours; this record might not be broken in the future."

"Oh, you should know how impressive I am."

With a charming glance, she eyed Lin Yi, "So many people here, don't talk nonsense, just get to work, I'm swamped."

"Doing it like this isn't a solution; running between two stores, even with a full staff, you won't have it easy," Lin Yi said.

"Indeed, I've thought about it these days and believe what you said is quite right. Overall, merging the two stores is better, saving quite a bit on rent, even labor costs," Xu Wen said with a smile, looking at Lin Yi,

"What do you think? Any other opinions?"
