Seeing that Wenrou wasn't joking, and that she looked even more serious than their own squad, the sentries had no choice but to take her to where the trucks were parked.

The truck carried a huge water tank on the back, which was used to store water. It was about the same size as the truck she drove in her previous life.

In her past life, she often drove a large truck for transportation and did all kinds of business. Sometimes she was more reliable than men.

Everyone who does business with her praises her.

In addition, she has a good character, is trustworthy, and straightforward, so many people are eager to do business with her.

Wenrou looked at the truck in front of her, and the familiar feeling of driving a big truck back then seemed to come back to her.

She walked over, opened the car door, and jumped in a few steps.

After a quick familiarization, I was able to start it up easily.

When the sentries saw that Wenrou could actually drive a truck, their faces were filled with shock and admiration.

"You guys go find someone to come with me first, I'm going home to pack." Wenrou said to the group, then turned and went home to her family compound.

Who knows what might happen on the way? Besides, Huo Yanchuan definitely needs water and dry rations, and she also needs to eat and drink along the way.

She just made a lot of pancakes, which is perfect to take with her.

Once home, Wenrou fully prepared herself, carrying the freshly baked pancakes and a few small plastic buckets with lids, perfect for holding water on the road.

She had everyone load everything onto the car and then prepared to leave.

The people in the family compound were shocked to hear that Wenrou was going to drive a truck to fetch water.

"Isn't she from the countryside? When did she learn to drive a truck?"

"Isn't she being ridiculous? Why is she causing trouble at a time like this? What will happen to our water supply if something goes wrong?"

"Who knows? If she can bring the water back, great. But if she delays our business, all of us will definitely not let her off the hook."

Hearing these people's words, Wang Yanping said coldly, "Wenrou was also thinking about everyone's water needs, and instead of being grateful, you're kicking her when she's down? If you're so capable, why don't you go and get the water yourselves?"

Wang Yanping was very grateful for the water that Wenrou had lent her, and when she heard them say that, she naturally began to defend Wenrou.

Sister-in-law Wang chimed in, "Yes, Wenrou is doing this for everyone. If any of you know how to drive a truck, you can apply for it too."

Standing at the door, Shen Qingshuang heard their conversation and scoffed, "Her? What kind of truck can she drive? She's more likely to be a show-off!"

She had heard Zhou Dayong say that Wenrou was from the same village as him. In such a poor and remote place, how could they have ever seen a big truck?

Not to mention, a meeting was held?

Besides, even the soldiers in the army don't dare to say they can drive. How dare a gentle woman speak so arrogantly?

She simply didn't believe that gentleness could really bring the water back.

If she delays things, let's see how Huo Yanchuan will protect her then?

While everyone in the family compound was still discussing whether Wenrou could drive a truck, she had already gotten into the truck with her things.

Wenrou was accompanied by one of Huo Yanchuan's squad leaders. At first, he was somewhat skeptical when he heard that Huo Yanchuan's wife was going to drive a truck.

But when he saw with his own eyes that Wenrou actually drove the truck and did so quite skillfully, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

Squad Leader Ma had been to the county town several times with Huo Yanchuan before, so he knew the route.

After starting the car, she said gently to him, "Cheer up, I'll need you to give me directions along the way. I'm new here and not familiar with the area yet."

For some reason, Squad Leader Ma automatically switched to the role of a subordinate in the face of Wenrou, and loudly replied, "Yes, sir."

By the time he realized what was happening, the car had already traveled two miles.

Only then did he realize the same kind of authority emanating from Wenrou as that of Huo Tuan. This kind of leadership was indeed very convincing.

Most importantly, she drove very steadily, even more steadily than Huo Tuan.

The car was fine on the flat road, but soon we arrived at the Gobi Desert. The wind and sand were hitting the glass windows, and the sand was full of potholes. If we didn't drive steadily, the car could easily overturn.

The sandstorm outside the car window was very strong, obstructing part of the view.

But Wenrou was not affected at all. She had encountered much more difficult road conditions before, so she was experienced with this kind of sandy terrain.

Her gentle face showed no extraneous expression; she focused intently on the road ahead, always managing to stabilize the vehicle at crucial moments.

Before we knew it, the sky had begun to darken.

Gentle turned on the headlights so that they could continue driving.

Squad Leader Ma sat to the side, his shock beyond words; he now held Wenrou in utter admiration.

There have been rumors circulating in the military lately that Commander Huo's wife has an immoral private life and is seducing men everywhere.

In his opinion, those were just rumors spread by people who didn't understand her; they were all nonsense.

How could a woman who catches Huo Tuan's eye be just a pretty face?

When will he be able to drive as well as she does?

In his heart, Wenrou is now his idol.

"Sister-in-law, when did you learn to drive a truck?" After the truck reached flat ground, Squad Leader Ma finally had a moment to ask.

Wenrou was somewhat taken aback by his question. When? In her past life?

But she couldn't tell that, so she just made up a lie.

"I had some experience with it when I was in the countryside, so I learned it for a while."

Hearing Wenrou say this, Squad Leader Ma admired her even more.

You can learn this well even when it's easy? That's amazing.

Once they started talking, the two chatted casually on the way.

The road became much easier to drive after crossing the Gobi Desert, and we were almost at the county town, so the warm car began to pick up speed.

After arriving in the county town, she handed the car over to Squad Leader Ma to drive.

It's already past 8 p.m., and she's been driving for over four hours.

She would have arrived much earlier if she hadn't had to slow down when passing through sandy areas.

However, seeing that she was getting closer to the town's reservoir, she felt relieved.

Once they arrived at the reservoir, someone was assigned to help them fill the water tanks.

Wenrou and Squad Leader Ma took this opportunity to each eat a pancake, drink some water, rest for a while, and then fill the water bucket before setting off to return.

However, she wasn't in a hurry about things at the family compound. What she was thinking about was that Huo Yanchuan needed water and food more right now. So, after discussing it with Squad Leader Ma, she prepared to go find Huo Yanchuan.

By the time she arrived at Huo Yanchuan's location, it was almost midnight.

Huo Yanchuan's side has indeed encountered some problems. They are currently extremely short of water, and many of his comrades are already physically exhausted.

Just as he was trying to think of a solution, someone outside suddenly shouted.

"The water's here! Someone's come to bring us water."
