“Hey, you ugly piece of trash, get over here!”
Chen Ye was left speechless after being shot down by Squad Leader Chu, and just happened to spot Gong Yong grinning stupidly at the pile of supplies allocated to him.
Chen Ye called Gong Yong over directly.
Gong Yong was jolted by Chen Ye’s voice.
But when he heard Chen Ye call him “ugly piece of trash,” he felt a bit confused.
Could this… be directed at me?
“Brother Ye, you… you’re calling me?”
Gong Yong pointed his index finger back at himself in disbelief.
Chen Ye nodded: “Who else would it be? In this whole convoy, aside from Squad Leader Chu, who else can compete with you in the ugly contest?”
Gong Yong: Damn…
Isn’t it just that I have a bit too much beard?
How does that make me an ugly piece of trash?
Damn…
If I could beat you in a fight, I would absolutely go all out against you, you one-eyed bastard.
Faced with Chen Ye’s overwhelming combat power, Gong Yong decided to suck it up.
Couldn’t hold it in!
Still so damn angry!
One-eyed bastard, it’s only right you lost an eye.
Hope you go completely blind.
The pink-haired girl rolled her eyes: “Stop bullying him! He’s so honest!”
Even Sun Xixi couldn’t stand it anymore.
Hearing Sun Xixi’s defense, Gong Yong felt grateful tears welling up inside.
Mom is the best!
Chen Ye acted as if he hadn’t heard the pink-haired girl’s complaint.
Seeing Gong Yong tiptoe over to him.
“Kid, aren’t you a Sequence 4 mechanic? Can you build a machine to make all this spoiled food edible?”
“Something with the same effect as a Revitalization Talisman!”
Gong Yong hadn’t expected this request. After a brief pause of surprise.
He then looked at the mountain of spoiled food piled up.
Some food items, even sealed in their packaging, still emitted a foul odor.
Others were covered in white, green, and gray mold.
“Theoretically, it shouldn’t be a problem, but…”
Chen Ye slapped Gong Yong on the shoulder: “If it’s theoretically fine, then it’s settled. This is your task now.”
“Ah~~~”
Gong Yong was stunned, not expecting Chen Ye to be so shameless.
Then, turning around, he found everyone looking at him with hopeful eyes.
Chu Che nodded: “Gong Yong, Chen Ye’s got a foul mouth, just treat him like a lunatic. You just said it’s theoretically feasible, so that means it’s doable, right?”
Squad Leader Chu’s expression was very kind, but his eyes were burning with urgency.
If it really worked.
That would be simply…
Sun Xixi also raised her eyes to look at him.
And Little Fish—Little Fish’s jet-black, sparkling eyes had already cast Gong Yong as a hero, one far surpassing Chen Ye.
Even Ding Dong, who seemed to care about nothing but farming, appeared to have caught wind of the conversation.
She also turned her head to look at Gong Yong!
Seeing so many pairs of expectant eyes, Gong Yong finally swallowed the rest of his words.
“I… I’ll give it a try…”
Gong Yong gulped.
In the following distribution of supplies.
Everyone who had participated in collecting supplies in Hongqiao Town received a considerable share.
Even after handing over portions to their respective convoy managers.
They could still keep plenty for themselves.
The remaining survivors who hadn’t gone to collect supplies all turned their gazes to those who had obtained goods this time.
All sorts of flattering words were thrown around freely.
The woman whose husband was left in Hongqiao Town also received a fair share of supplies.
For a long time to come, as long as this woman didn’t court death, she wouldn’t have to worry about her future livelihood.
In just a few hours.
The convoy’s atmosphere shifted from grief to celebration.
The cenotaph stood nearby.
Someone went up, lit a cigarette, using the smoke as incense, kowtowed a few times, and stuck the cigarette in front of the tombstone.
That was it.
The living still had to keep on living.
Chen Ye’s cigarette supply was also replenished.
After ordinary people got their share of cigarettes, most would seek out Chen Ye to trade.
Chen Ye naturally turned no one away.
Truth be told, his cigarette reserves had been critically low for a while.
During this time, unless absolutely necessary, Chen Ye had rarely smoked.
Perhaps one day, as his Blood Moon Lord sequence rank increased, he wouldn’t need cigarettes to release his Smoke Breath Mist.
Another incident occurred within the convoy.
The newly captured little fat sheep had been startled by the Anomaly aura. At least half of them went into shock.
They wouldn’t eat grass or drink water, just kept bleating nonstop.
When they saw people approaching, they would even attack.
Some even bit other little fat sheep, causing them to squeal in pain.
With no other choice, all the shocked little fat sheep were turned into mutton reserves.
The bus that had been towed back.
Under Gong Yong’s intense work, began to transform into a non-powered, towable mobile sheep pen.
All the useful parts on the bus were removed.
As for Chen Ye…
A considerable amount of supplies had been gathered from Hongqiao Town.
Everyone in the convoy benefited.
Chen Ye also had another source of income.
During the battle in Hongqiao Town, Chen Ye had earned forty-five thousand Slaughter Points.
It wasn’t a huge amount of Slaughter Points.
But for the current situation, it was a godsend.
Chen Ye used the electric vehicle battery gathered from the gas station earlier and adapted it to the Monster Pickup Truck.
This was a sixty-eight kilowatt-hour battery.
Combined with the original twelve kilowatt-hours on board, after adapting the new battery, the Monster Pickup Truck’s battery capacity reached eighty kilowatt-hours.
With eighty kilowatt-hours, there was ample power storage.
The Monster Pickup Truck’s migration capability was further strengthened.
Now that Squad Leader Chu had been promoted to Sequence 4, the convoy could stay in suitable places for up to fifteen days.
Before, with just twelve kilowatt-hours, the battery would be fully charged in about two and a half days, wasting the remaining ten-plus days.
Now, with a full eighty kilowatt-hours.
They could largely avoid wasting solar energy.
For this adaptation, since Chen Ye provided the battery himself.
The System only charged Chen Ye three thousand Slaughter Points.
The upgrade time wasn’t long either.
It was completed in just three hours.
Chen Ye now had forty-two thousand Slaughter Points remaining.
Forty-two thousand Slaughter Points—not too much, not too little.
Chen Ye looked at the knife before him, a severed limb, and a Dragon Scale with a human face on it.
For a moment, he also hesitated.
How to quickly convert forty-two thousand points into combat power.
This was an incredibly difficult choice to make…
…
The convoy swayed and rumbled slowly southward.
Finally, on the third day after leaving Hongqiao Town.
“Zzzz…”
“Attention all units, attention all units. We are approaching the Xi City area!”
“Watch for unidentified personnel approaching!”
From the radio came Squad Leader Chu’s voice, tinged with both excitement and an inexplicable undertone.
