Cassian really knew how to do things. Take his wife to inspect supplies and call it a honeymoon. That was how a man managed to win the girl. Not long after takeoff, Cassian started lowering the helicopter. "We're at the northern warehouse." Natalie looked out the window. "This place looks familiar." "It's on the outskirts outside Broadview District," Cassian said. She thought about it for a moment and suddenly remembered. This was the wild mountain where she had caught sheep and cattle and hunted wild boars during the floods. She pulled a face and told Cassian about what she had done here before. "I went over this whole mountain. I never saw any warehouse." Cassian's lips curved as he brought the helicopter down smoothly. "Then you didn't search thoroughly enough." "Impossible," Natalie said at once. "I even dug out every rabbit hole." She pushed open the cabin door and jumped down first. "Come on then. Show me. I want to see where you hid it." Lucky, who had followed her here back then, was just as unconvinced. What supply could escape a dog's nose? Back then it had helped its owner sweep this whole place clean. Other than a few foxes, they had not spared anything. Natalie glanced at its unconvinced dog face and was a little surprised. "Lucky remembers this place?" The mountain was no longer lush like it had been during the floods. After the weeks of extreme heat, most of the grasses and trees had withered. If she had not looked down from the air and recognized the topography, she would not have recognized it as the same mountain.By reason, Lucky had been even younger then. It should not have remembered so clearly. The dog tossed her head proudly. Her brain worked just fine. Then it wagged its tail and flattered her. Every second with the owner was too precious to forget. Not far away, Cash pretended to gag, and Baron punched him. Natalie had not drunk the spring water, so she could not understand Lucky's words, but that sly, ingratiating expression told her the dog was definitely flattering her again. She looked around at the now barren hillside and could not help saying, "Back then I caught a lot of cattle and sheep here, and chickens and rabbits. I caught and butchered as I went. Now there's nothing." Cash and Baron blinked in horror. Natalie looked at the two of them. "Relax. I'm not about to butcher you two. And those chickens and rabbits may be from your species, but judging from where they lived, you're at least five degrees of kinship apart. Doesn't count as relatives." Cash and Baron were stunned. Natalie narrowed her eyes. "And cut the nonsense. You two didn't complain when you were eating fried chicken and spicy grilled rabbit." Baron was speechless. He had not even said anything. Cash was speechless too. He had not even eaten meat. Cassian laughed and took her hand. "Come on. We need to go up." The helicopter had landed on a relatively flat spot halfway up the mountain. The warehouse was deeper inside. Natalie followed him into the interior of the mountain. After nearly thirty minutes of hiking, she finally understood why he had told her to wear a softshell and hiking boots. This was a full outdoor trek.After several turns and detours, another ten minutes passed before Natalie could not help asking, "Where exactly are we going?" There had been a straight path earlier, but this man insisted on taking her around and around, making her walk extra distance. "We can't go through straight," Cassian said. "We've got to circle around to the other side." He pointed ahead. "We're almost there." Five minutes later, they stopped at the mouth of a cave. "Here we are." Natalie looked at the opening, about the height of a person, no more than forty or fifty square feet, and felt lost. "Where is it?" This was less a cave than a small recess in the rock. It looked too cramped for hiding anything, let alone a warehouse. Then a thought struck her and her eyes lit. "Is there some kind of mechanism?" Cassian did seem to like building hidden spaces. The office she had cleared out earlier had a secret room. The villa they were living in now also had one that could be used in emergencies. Cassian nodded with a smile. "Yes. That's how the supplies stayed safe." If he had built an ordinary warehouse out in the open, it would have been picked clean long ago. Lucky sprinted in as soon as it heard him, sniffing all over. After smelling every corner, it tilted its head in confusion. There was nothing. There was only the faint fragrance of plants. Not even the slightest scent of food, daily goods, or supplies. Wait. The mountain was bare now. Where was the smell of plants coming from? Only then did Lucky react. It leaned closer and sniffed again. There was indeed a faint, natural plant scent on the stone wall.
