The lively discussion continued for a while, voices overlapping as everyone imagined a future that was no longer limited to mere survival.
Leng Pan didn't interrupt them immediately. She sat quietly on the sofa beside Lu Zhen, fingers interlocked, listening as ideas collided and merged.
All the ideas given mirrored the hope every member of the team carried. That was why Leng Pan chose to sit quietly and let them dream, even if their hopes would not become a reality.
The sight before her was exactly what she wanted to see, not blind obedience from the team members. She wanted people who could think, plan, and envision tomorrow even when today was trying to burn them alive.
When the room finally grew quieter, she stood up.
Most of the time, they discussed their plans while seated, but today there were too many people squeezed into the living room of the apartment making it look smaller.
She needed everyone to see her and pay attention to what she was going to say.
