Chapter 638: Let Me Show You What Old Sun Can Do
As the Fair Convoy was setting off.
Captain Chu Che, unlike Chen Ye, didn't have quite as thick a skin. He took some food and gave it to Wu Zehui and Number One.
What else could he do? The two of them really hadn't gotten enough to eat at breakfast.
They were about to put in work for the convoy. He couldn't be that shameless, could he?
The Fair Convoy's vehicles drove out of camp one by one. Little Fish stood at the camp entrance, watching the convoy disappear into the distance, clicking her tongue.
Chu Che asked curiously, "Little Fish, what's with that expression!"
Little Fish, with the air of someone who saw through everything like an adult, said, "Wu Zehui and Number One are both young people. These two youngsters together with Chen Ye? I'm afraid Chen Ye will eat them up and not even leave the bones behind!"
Chu Che retorted, "How could that be? Chen Ye's not that kind of person!"
Little Fish shot him a sidelong glance: "Captain Chu, say that again. Don't your words sting your own conscience!?"
Chu Che opened his mouth, but for a moment, he couldn't find a way to argue back.
Inside the convoy.
"Ahem... that, about what just happened, it really was Captain Chu's fault. With our convoy's rules, he actually didn't explain them clearly to you two!"
"Actually, our convoy has always been like this—open and aboveboard. If there's trouble, we face it together. If there's food, we share it!"
"Since you two have joined the convoy, even if it's just temporary!"
"Then we'll treat you like family!"
"The way we usually eat is how we eat today!"
"Ahem... don't take it to heart. You'll get used to it!"
Seeing that Wu Zehui and Number One seemed to have some lingering resentment.
Chen Ye quickly added a few words to smooth things over.
Wu Zehui and Number One had nothing more to say.
Anyway, it was just one day. No matter how much they were worked like mules, it was only one day.
Young people were like that—most of them had thin skin and were easily susceptible to PUA.
For example, when Chen Ye said he treated them like family, although they would never believe such words.
It still made them feel a little better inside.
As long as someone was human, they would hope that others recognized them as one of their own.
Of course, young people were more receptive to this kind of talk.
That was also why many companies liked to hire fresh graduates.
They were obedient and easy to PUA.
When many companies hired new graduates, the pay wasn't high. But if you called them reserve management cadres, even with very low pay, someone would be willing to do it.
A few years later, after realizing they'd been fooled and deceived, they finally understood the wickedness of human hearts.
Slowly evolving into seasoned veterans, the kind that couldn't be fooled by ordinary talk.
And then those people would recruit another batch of new graduates.
Even though it had been so long since the apocalypse, Wu Zehui and Number One, these two young people, had spent more time dealing with Anomalies than they had dealing with people.
So, meeting someone this shameless? This was their first time.
Hearing Chen Ye's words, the others could only wince inwardly.
How long had Chen Ye been a captain now? His PUA skills improved by the day.
Soon they arrived at the outskirts of Xi City.
By now, the sky at the horizon was faintly lit.
A touch of gold spread across the sea surface.
Perhaps it was because of the reduction in human activity. In the two years since the apocalypse, the sky was incredibly pure.
This golden gleam reflected from the sea onto the clouds above.
Finally, it fell from the clouds onto their vehicles, dyeing these battered, broken-down cars in a layer of gold.
The beauty of this golden light was dazzling and mesmerizing.
Even Dantai Bie shut his mouth and silently appreciated the moment.
This time, the Fair Convoy hadn't deployed all their vehicles.
They only brought the pink-haired girl's off-road SUV, Ding Dong's panel van, Chen Ye's monster pickup truck, and Dantai Bie's silver off-road sports car.
The reason they only brought these four vehicles was mainly considering the special nature of this mission.
For instance, Chen Ye's and Dantai Bie's cars were both Wonders, which had a certain auxiliary combat effect.
Ding Dong's panel van could be used to collect supplies.
The pink-haired girl's car was mainly for carrying people.
When the golden sunlight at the horizon was at its brightest.
The convoy entered the boundaries of Xi City.
At this moment, the entire Xi City seemed to be just waking up.
All kinds of Monsters and Demons in the city welcomed the daytime they hated the most.
When the convoy first arrived at the outskirts of Xi City, they could still hear some strange, wailing sounds. These sounds made people's hair stand on end.
When the convoy entered the range formed by those thirteen beams of light.
The sunlight had already begun to illuminate the entire Xi City.
Many strange sounds came to a halt.
Now, many Anomalies could already move under sunlight.
But that didn't mean these Anomalies actually liked to be active in the sun.
If the night was the active period for Anomalies, then the daytime was their dormant period.
When the golden light had completely disappeared, the convoy finally arrived at the district the Fair Convoy was responsible for: Sunset Avenue.
It was no different from when they left two days ago.
The streets were a mess.
Various vegetation stubbornly grew out of the cracks in the road.
Some weeds that had been crushed by them two days ago now stood upright again.
Completely burying all traces of the convoy's existence.
The Haosheng Hotel stood by the seaside.
The banner that read "Living People Here" still flapped loudly under the sea breeze.
Wu Zehui and Number One had both been told about the situation here earlier.
So when the two saw the banner, they just glanced at it a couple of extra times without thinking much of it.
"Hehehe... it's... it's the smell of living people! The smell of living people!"
"So fragrant, so sweet!"
Right at this moment, a series of bone-chilling voices sounded in everyone's ears.
At the same time, a sense of dread rose in the hearts of Chen Ye and the others.
This was a sign of Anomalies appearing.
On a rooftop not far away, two or three pitch-black figures crouched on the light box of a convenience store.
These were figures with only half a head.
These figures were very thin, looking like malnourished adults.
These figures stretched out their hands, palms aimed in Chen Ye's direction. Each palm had a single eyeball growing out of it.
These eyeballs had no eyelids, each one bigger than a ping-pong ball.
These eyes stared fixedly at Chen Ye's group.
As for where the sound was coming from?
When these pitch-black, emaciated figures climbed down from the light box.
Everyone could finally see clearly: these things all had massive, deformed bellies.
And in the position of the belly buttons on these bellies, mouths were growing.
As these figures drew closer, those mouths drooled, constantly muttering, "Living people, so fragrant, so fragrant!"
This was yet another kind of Anomaly they had never seen before.
Chen Ye picked up the radio: "Wu Zehui, Number One, you two want to try your hand?"
The two of them, currently in the pink-haired girl's car, exchanged a glance.
They knew Chen Ye was starting to use them like mules.
But they also had the desire to show off a bit in front of everyone.
Wu Zehui pulled his face covering down, and his entire demeanor instantly changed. His voice became sharp and arrogant.
As if the Great Sage Equal to Heaven had possessed him: "Little ones, let me show you what Old Sun can do!"
