Chen Ye found this young woman quite interesting.

When he first saw Chen Ye, she appeared to be the leader of this survivor base. Though amiable, she always put on an air of authority.

The other survivors were also extremely deferential to her.

Later, after Chen Ye displayed his power and brutality, the young woman began feigning pitifulness, even attempting to awaken the scant bit of conscience Chen Ye might possess, hoping to escape with her life.

And now, the young woman seemed to have calmed down, given up.

She displayed considerable indifference, as if she could face everything with detachment, utterly unafraid of death.

It had to be said, the young woman really had a lot of drama in her.

No wonder she became the leader in that previous small group.

Chen Ye did not answer the young woman’s question.

The young woman started rambling, somewhat neurotic.

“Before meeting you, I thought all Superhumans were like Xia Bo!”

“Clearly possessing powerful abilities, yet in the end, they were easily defeated by us ordinary people!”

“Xia Bo was a good person. If not for him, I would have died long ago!”

“That morning, I hadn’t eaten for three days, I was so hungry I had no strength left. Xia Bo gave me his last piece of bread!”

“You should know, he was just like me, also hadn’t eaten for three days.”

“If it were before the apocalypse, I would have married him!”

“But it’s a pity… he was too kind!”

“The people he saved, there were at least over a dozen.”

“We searched everywhere around us where we could possibly find supplies, but the supplies still weren’t enough!”

“When Xia Bo said we could only eat one meal a day, many people were dissatisfied, but everyone understood, supplies were running out.”

“But even so, with just a little provocation, these people all became red-eyed.”

“Those people rushed into Xia Bo’s room and beat him to death right there.”

“None of the people he had saved spoke up to help him!”

“What happened later… you can probably guess!”

“Actually, I was also involved at the time. Someone said eating a Superhuman’s flesh could grant you Supernatural Power!”

“Hahaha… that liar!”

The young woman spat out words that sent chills down one’s spine.

Chen Ye, cigarette in mouth, drove the car, his gaze fixed on the pitch-black darkness ahead.

Captain Chu Che insisted on traveling through the night, which left Chen Ye feeling somewhat sleepy now!

Listening to a story wasn’t bad.

It’s just that this story was rather dark.

In the apocalypse, such stories were everywhere. Chen Ye had long grown accustomed to it.

The young woman continued, “Actually, you and I are the same. You kill people to survive, and what I did was also to survive.”

“There’s no difference between us.”

Chen Ye gently exhaled a puff of Smoke Breath and said, “There is a difference. I do it to survive. You probably don’t. Moreover, I have a bottom line. Even if it’s relatively low, it’s still a bottom line!”

“Besides, the things you did, I would never do!”

The young woman sneered, “Hahaha… you’ve killed so many people, and you say you have a bottom line? Are you trying to make me die laughing?”

Chen Ye nodded very seriously, “Yes, those people all deserved to die. Even if it were before the apocalypse, those people probably wouldn’t escape the death penalty!”

The young woman suddenly became agitated, “Then why do you think you can decide our life and death? Why?”

“Who do you think you are? A law enforcer? Or a savior?”

“I was just trying to survive. I did nothing wrong!”

“Why?”

The young woman screamed at Chen Ye, even somewhat hysterically.

She looked like a rebellious teenage girl.

Chen Ye turned his head and blew Smoke Breath into the young woman’s face, making her cough and shrink back repeatedly.

Chen Ye said indifferently, “Because my fist is bigger than yours. Is that reason enough?”

The young woman was momentarily stunned.

She hadn’t expected this guy Chen Ye to be so utterly unreasonable.

The reason she said so much was precisely to argue Chen Ye down, to make him feel his justifications were untenable, and then let her go.

Some young people fresh out into society sometimes get bound hand and foot by seemingly reasonable theories, becoming full of reservations when doing things.

It had to be said, the young woman had already exhausted every possibility to survive.

But, this guy Chen Ye could be quite domineering at times. Once he decided on something, there was simply no room for negotiation.

“Alright, cut the crap. Keep babbling, and you know the consequences!”

“Yawn… be quiet, don’t disturb me driving!”

The young woman lay pale-faced in the seat.

She had already conditioned herself to ignore the foul smell at her nose.

So far, she had used every method at her disposal—feigning pitifulness, reasoning…

But against this man, it was still completely useless.

If there weren’t only two survivors left, and the other young man called Xiao Yan didn’t seem very sharp,

Chen Ye wouldn’t have used this woman.

This woman simply had too many tricks up her sleeve.

Fortunately, she encountered him.

If it were someone brainless like Iron Lion, he’d probably be played like a dog by her!

The car jolted slightly, as if it had hit something again.

The Smoke Breath formed a large hand that directly pushed aside the car blocking the way, clearing a path so the vehicle could continue forward.

Wait, the car blocking the way ahead seemed to be a delivery van.

A van full of packages was scattered all over the ground around it.

“Hey, Captain, this one ahead is a delivery van!”

“Don’t mess around, Iron Lion is still waiting for us. Don’t waste time!”

Chu Che’s reminder came again.

After such a long delay, Chu Che was truly worried Iron Lion couldn’t hold on.

Chen Ye looked at the packages scattered on the ground, his mind stirring. The large hand formed by Smoke Breath directly grabbed at the scattered packages.

A large handful of package boxes were grabbed by the smoke hand and then tossed into the truck bed.

Several handfuls in a row, and all the package boxes were thrown onto the truck.

The survivor called Xiao Yan on the truck had already woken up, awakened by the packages hitting him.

The young woman beside him, seeing Chen Ye’s miraculous method, hid the fear in her eyes even deeper.

A bridge that should have been crossed quickly took nearly four hours.

The giant snake alone delayed them for over an hour.

Plus, along the way, they frequently encountered cars blocking the road.

Fortunately, the machete’s countdown was also ticking down simultaneously.

The car finally got off the bridge.

The sky was already pitch black.

“Zzzzt…”

“Yezi, go straight for two kilometers then turn left. We’re getting closer and closer to Iron Lion.”

“I sense Iron Lion’s position is moving rapidly, as if something happened!”

Chu Che’s voice came from the walkie-talkie.

“Wait, two kilometers? How am I supposed to know where two kilometers is? Captain! Tell me when we get there!”

The car was about to move forward when Chu Che’s voice came again, “Wait, ahead, there’s a problem ahead!”

Chen Ye slammed on the brakes.

“Zzzzt… ahead, there are too many Anomalies, too active. We… should rest for a while!”

Over the walkie-talkie, Captain Chu Che’s voice was filled with reluctance.

Chen Ye also understood that if it weren’t truly impassable, Chu Che wouldn’t make this decision.

Chu Che directly erected a barrier on the spot.

Planning to rest right there.

“Oh, right, Yezi, why don’t you also deploy a mist barrier? It might also block living human presence!”

Chu Che seemed to think of something and said directly.

Chen Ye shook his head, “No, I’ve tried that plan. Doing that makes the shielding effect much worse!!”

Chu Che frowned slightly, seemingly considering why it wouldn’t work.

“Squad Leader Chu, those guns from before…”

“Ah… Yezi, do you think if Old Bao and Xiao Wang turned into Fog Slaves, what would they be like? Would they come back to see us? Would they still have their consciousness from when they were alive?”

Chen Ye: “…”

The two survivors also obediently got out of the car, found a spot, and rested.

This rest lasted at least five hours.

It wasn’t until the sky began to lighten slightly at dawn that Chu Che announced they were setting off again.

The morning was still filled with impenetrable thick fog, visibility only about eight or nine meters.

They drove for over ten hours straight.

Although the fog was heavy, with Captain Chu Che constantly giving directions, the journey was relatively smooth.

“Zzzzt… Yezi, we’re less than a kilometer from Iron Lion!”

“Speed up, maybe Iron Lion is waiting for our rescue right now!”

Captain Chu’s delighted voice came from the walkie-talkie, making Chen Ye feel much better.

Just one kilometer left before he could see that Big Fool!

Probably that Big Fool was also quite seriously injured.

The young woman in the passenger seat suddenly changed expression, her face becoming extremely terrified. Her right hand gripping a knife, her left hand pushed open the car door, and she actually jumped directly out of the moving vehicle.

The young man called Xiao Yan in the truck bed also wore an expression of utter terror.

He jumped down from the back of the truck.

The two rolled on the ground, then stood up and looked at each other.

“No, don’t!”

“Sister Xiao Hua, no, I don’t want to die!”

“Xiao Yan, you… run! I… I can’t control myself…”

The young woman raised the knife in her hand.

One stab after another…

Throughout the whole process, Chen Ye didn’t even turn his head to take a second look.

He was about to see Iron Lion. Nothing was more joyous than seeing that fool.
