Was Chen Ye the kind of person who borrowed money and never paid it back?
No, of course not!!!
Chen Ye felt he was someone with strong moral values, an upright person.
For example, this time when he borrowed money from the Silent Council, he absolutely intended to repay it!
Not repaying borrowed money—that went against mainstream values.
He would never do that!
Everyone had to believe him!!!
Someone as scheming and dirty-minded as Chu Che naturally couldn't be on the same wavelength as him.
Chen Ye expressed disdain for Captain Chu.
Captain Chu was left speechless by Chen Ye's sudden burst of righteousness.
His face red, he couldn't find the words for a moment.
The people from the other convoys were also watching this scene. Obviously, they had witnessed the earlier transaction too.
Of course, this was also part of Elder Hou's deliberate intention to let them see.
His goal was to dispel everyone's doubts.
This loan definitely carried risks.
But Elder Hou Junji still felt that the risk was worth taking.
If they could open up the market—even if there weren't many people at the base right now—as long as they could create a crack in the door.
The future returns would be immeasurable.
The Silent Council didn't just want to make a one-off deal.
Of course, whether Chen Ye and Chu Che only wanted a one-off deal was anyone's guess.
In Chen Ye and Chu Che's hands were bags full of gold coins.
If this were before the apocalypse, these gold coins would have been enough to make someone instantly wealthy.
But now...
Many people nearby had also turned to look.
"You two..."
The Pink-haired Girl opened her mouth but found herself at a loss for words.
Although the little girl was very clever, she couldn't figure out why Hou Junji had lent out the money so easily.
Didn't it seem too casual?
The little girl had only just graduated from high school and hadn't yet been thrown into the big dye vat of society, so it was understandable that she couldn't grasp Hou Junji's thinking.
But the little girl didn't dwell on it.
She lifted her sword and vanished in a flash.
She still hadn't finished her training for the day.
Since that day, after the little girl stopped being a drunkard, she hadn't missed a single day of practice.
Chu Che and Chen Ye walked arm-in-arm out of the camp.
Having just come into some money, they were naturally going to spend it.
It was as if their earlier spat had been completely forgotten.
Gong Yong let out a long breath.
"My god, Captain Chu is really... really... impressive!"
He struggled for a long time before finally squeezing out the word "impressive!"
Of course, that wasn't what Gong Yong really thought in his heart.
But those other words—he didn't dare say them out loud.
Little Fish's crisp voice immediately warned from the side: "Hey, Da Yong, you can't learn from those two! Don't let them corrupt you."
Before, there had been plenty of good people in the convoy, even Captain Chu had been someone trustworthy.
But now.
Even Captain Chu seemed to be changing.
And Aunt Ding Dong, Sister Lina!
Sister Lina didn't even need to be mentioned—she'd been useless from the start.
Especially Aunt Ding Dong—she used to be such an upright person.
Last time, she'd even gone with them to steal sheep.
Before, how could something like that have ever happened to Aunt Ding Dong?
Seeing that Gong Yong seemed to have the potential to go bad, Little Fish immediately warned him.
Gong Yong waved his hands repeatedly: "How could I? I'm not that kind of person!"
Little Fish eyed Gong Yong suspiciously for a long moment before muttering, "I hope not. But, Da Yong, you've changed a lot lately!"
"Have I?"
Gong Yong rubbed his chin, thinking about the question.
Ever since he'd joined this convoy, it seemed... it seemed like some small, insignificant changes had happened to him.
"Of course you have! When you first arrived, your eyes were always on the ground, and you couldn't even look people in the eye when talking to them!"
"And that day, you actually started talking back to Chen Ye!"
"You're already amazing!"
Little Fish gave Gong Yong a thumbs-up.
Gong Yong scratched the back of his head a little shyly: "I... I don't know what came over me. I was just really angry at the time!"
"Yeah, yeah, Chen Ye is a big, bad villain—the biggest, baddest villain of them all!"
"Don't be afraid of him. If he ever bullies you, come find me—I've got your back!"
Little Fish planted her hands on her hips, striking the pose of a big sister.
Gong Yong looked at Little Fish with some doubt.
Little Fish was furious and insisted stubbornly: "Even if I'm not a match for Chen Ye, my cousin can definitely beat him!"
"Da Yong, if you don't believe me, don't you believe my cousin?"
At the mention of the Pink-haired Girl, Gong Yong gained a bit more confidence and nodded in agreement.
Little Fish added, "Hmph hmph, once I become a Superhuman, I'll definitely be able to beat him—definitely!"
Gong Yong nodded, giving her face: "I believe you, Sister Little Fish!"
Hearing Gong Yong call her "Sister Little Fish," Little Fish's little heart swelled with immense satisfaction. She wanted to tilt her head all the way to the sky.
The only one who called her that was probably Tang Le Le.
She wondered if Le Le had arrived.
Captain Chu said they were coming too.
And that very pretty, very timid older sister.
Every time that older sister was in front of Chen Ye, her face would always turn red.
Tch... slut!
Kids these days matured very early.
Little Fish naturally knew what it meant when a woman's face turned red in front of a man.
Lin Shu Tong and the others hadn't arrived.
But another convoy had.
While the convoy was busy setting up camp.
They saw a very flashy convoy arriving under the leadership of Xiong Baochun.
The vehicles in this convoy were all over-the-top and looked very familiar.
Especially those signature mohawks, bald heads, and the red, green, and blue hair.
And the leather jackets and pants, along with Chelsea boots and waist chains.
Plus the black lips.
All of it proclaimed that this convoy was anything but ordinary.
Just one look and you could tell they weren't good people.
"Your camp is here. Remember, it's best not to cause any trouble, or else, hmph hmph..."
Xiong Baochun clearly had a bad impression of this convoy, and his tone was harsh.
"Pfft, you think we're scared?"
"What did you say, you short-ass?"
"Little fatso, watch your mouth! Otherwise, we'll make sure you die tonight without even knowing how."
Xiong Baochun coldly glanced at these guys, then turned and left.
Before leaving, he saw Little Fish standing with her hands on her hips, curiously watching the scene.
Xiong Baochun forced out an ugly smile.
Of course, he got a white-eyed glare from Little Fish in return.
