The village chief did not hide the crisis facing Divine Elephant Village from the villagers.

When villagers came to ask, Big Head Village Chief truthfully and selectively told them what he knew.

Of course, these matters naturally caused panic among a portion of the villagers.

But it was only a portion.

Not many fools were left among the villagers who had survived until now.

The entire Divine Elephant Village showed unprecedented unity in the face of the coming disaster.

They also showed great cooperation with the arrangements made by Assistant Xiao Zheng.

At the Planting Base, there were even survivor patrol teams with over a hundred people every day.

Every day, you could see the Big Monk leading patrol teams composed of survivors on their rounds.

Even the survivors from the convoy felt the sense of crisis.

During this period, far fewer people went out.

Chen Ye looked at the dilapidated little wooden house in front of him and turned to ask Xue Nan, “Is it this one?”

Xue Nan nodded, “That’s right, this is the place!”

The Pink-haired Girl grew impatient, “A grown man, even knocking on a door is so wishy-washy, let me do it!”

The girl pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in.

And she even said loudly, “Pathfinder Zhan, we’ve come to see you!”

Chen Ye grumbled inwardly: This reckless woman! Really don’t know what to say about her.

Yesterday, they heard that Pathfinder Zhan was sick, so several of the convoy’s superhumans planned to visit.

After all, they were teammates about to fight side by side.

Not getting sick earlier, not getting sick later, but getting sick right now.

It was highly suspicious whether there was something fishy going on.

So, except for Ding Dong, who was taking care of the seed stock, and the simple-minded Iron Lion.

The shrewd trio of the Fair Convoy came together.

This small courtyard wasn’t big, with some vegetables planted in front of the door and a few very simple tables and chairs.

Walking through the small courtyard, the Pink-haired Girl carelessly pushed open the house door.

She saw Zhang Yanping frantically trying to help the Taoist priest put on his pants.

And the Taoist priest was looking at the Pink-haired Girl who had barged into the house with a face full of panic, “You… how did you get here?”

The Pink-haired Girl was stunned for a full two seconds, a flush of red flashing across her face before she pretended to be nonchalant and said, “Pfft, Priest, the thing between you and Zhang Yanping, who among us doesn’t know about it? Why bother hiding it?”

A girl who had just turned eighteen, no, a nineteen-year-old girl, even if she wanted to act mature, her already crimson neck still betrayed her.

Chen Ye followed behind the Pink-haired Girl, pushed the door open, and entered, immediately spotting the bloodstains on the back of the Taoist priest’s pants.

He felt a slight amusement inwardly: This priest is really something, he actually really used the Hemorrhoid Sniper, no wonder he said he was sick these past two days.

“Priest, we heard you were sick, so here we are, we came to see you, even our squad leader is here.”

When the priest saw Chu Che enter, a strange glint flashed in his eyes;
he knew full well about this guy’s deep confession of love to that lighter.

When Chu Che saw the red on the priest’s backside, his face also showed a hint of strangeness.

No way, did this guy really use the Hemorrhoid Sniper?

The blood on his buttocks said it all.

They exchanged some pleasantries for a while.

Chu Che glanced at Zhang Yanping;
after all, he was the squad leader, so he still had to ask about this matter.

“Do you really plan to stay with the priest?”

Zhang Yanping, a forty-year-old woman, had much stronger defenses than the nineteen-year-old Pink-haired Girl.

“Squad Leader, Old Zhan treats me well too, and I quite like Divine Elephant Village, I… I don’t want to leave!”

The priest also said, “I hope Squad Leader Chu will grant us this!”

For such a matter, Squad Leader Chu naturally had no reason to refuse.

He was just the squad leader, not their father!

Since they knew the priest wasn’t faking illness and there was no conspiracy or trickery, the shrewd trio left the priest’s little house.

“It seems this priest is dead set on using that Fatal Sniper!”

Chu Che said after a moment of contemplation.

“This priest is a bit suspicious. The ranking of that Fatal Sniper isn’t high, but this priest still insists on using it, tsk tsk… very suspicious!”

Chen Ye was inherently suspicious and immediately guessed the priest had some ulterior method.

“You two old bastards, guessing this and suspecting that all day long, so much trouble! This lady is leaving first!”

After saying that, the Pink-haired Girl swished her ponytail and walked away with a bounce in her step.

The two old bastards looked at each other and sighed softly.

“Youth is so good!”

“Hey, why are you copying what I say?”

The two fell silent.

It was Chu Che who spoke first, “This time, Divine Elephant Village’s trouble is probably not small. Are you going to use the methods you’ve been hiding?”

“Don’t say it’s none of your business. Divine Elephant Village has a thousand people;
they are still our kind after all!”

“You wouldn’t want to watch all these people die, would you?”

“Yezi, I know you’re cold-blooded, shameless, and utterly without scruples!”

“But, if humanity is about to die out, won’t you even fight? Or do you think it’ll be fun to be the only one alive after everyone in the world is dead?”

“There are a thousand people here!”

Chen Ye lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke, “Squad Leader Chu, I’m starting to think teaming up with you might be the worst decision I’ve ever made.”

“I just want to live well, but you always want to make me into some savior.”

“Squad Leader Chu, don’t you think you’re being too much?”

Chen Ye took a deep drag of his cigarette, glancing sideways at Chu Che.

“Hahaha… Yezi, someone has to be the savior, if not you then me. Better the fellow Taoist dies than the poor Taoist;
it’s better if you do it than me!”

“Nonsense, you said it yourself, Divine Elephant Village’s trouble this time is not small. Aren’t you going to bring out your methods too?”

“Huh?… My methods, I have no methods, don’t talk nonsense!”

“Squad Leader Chu, talking like that is boring!”

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

“Tsk tsk… Squad Leader Chu, you’re really shameless!”

…

The Pink-haired Girl skipped back to the convoy’s camp.

It must be said, this time, to keep the convoy’s few superhumans, although there was a prior agreement, Divine Elephant Village hadn’t treated them badly these past few days either.

Although everyone was still responsible for their own meals, they delivered some fresh vegetables every day.

The quantity wasn’t large, but it expressed Divine Elephant Village’s attitude.

These ordinary vegetables from daily life were now incredibly precious.

As soon as the Pink-haired Girl returned to her room, she saw her cousin Little Fish looking at her with a dark expression.

Little Fish looked at her cousin’s carefree, heartless appearance, her small body standing straight, clutching a few Cleaning Talismans in her hand, her face flushed with anger.

“Cousin, you… you exchanged for these Cleaning Talismans?”

A few days ago, the Pink-haired Girl brought back a pile of Cleaning Talismans, saying the priest gave them to her.

After understanding the function of the Cleaning Talismans, Little Fish was also very happy and used one on the spot.

These past few days, she had treasured the Cleaning Talismans like precious gems.

Only after going out today did she learn from Xue Nan and the others that these Cleaning Talismans cost one pack of instant noodles each.

This was simply an astronomical price!

The Pink-haired Girl seemed not to realize the seriousness of the problem and nodded, “Yep!”

“Just one pack of instant noodles, it’s very cheap!”

“Just one pack of instant noodles? Cousin, it’s the apocalypse now, one pack of instant noodles can save a life at a critical moment, you… you really want to piss me off!”

Little Fish put her hands on her hips, looking utterly heartbroken, her small face scrunched up into a ball.

The Pink-haired Girl felt a bit guilty, “It’s really not expensive! Chen Ye exchanged for a lot too!”

“Can you compare to him? That guy is ruthless, merciless, utterly shameless. Of course, one pack of instant noodles is cheap for him!”

“Or rather, it’s cheap for superhumans…”

Yes, for superhumans, although their supplies weren’t abundant, one pack of instant noodles was something they could actually afford.

But for ordinary survivors, it was an astronomical price!

“Cousin, did you exchange for them on purpose because you think Divine Elephant Village is pitiful?”

Little Fish changed her tone, looking up and staring intently at her cousin’s somewhat guilty expression.

Having her thoughts seen through by Little Fish, the Pink-haired Girl raised her voice a bit guiltily, “Ah, I know, I know I was wrong!”

“They… they…”

“They, they have so many people, and many of them still don’t have enough to eat.”

“After all, we’re doing a bit better than them, right?”

“Don’t worry, next time we gather supplies, I’ll definitely work hard!”

Little Fish sighed like a little adult.

Cousin was just that kind of person.

Even when our own lives are a mess, she always cares about the suffering of others!

This was the true face of the convoy’s number one expert.

The convoy had only just had their supplies become slightly, just a tiny bit more abundant recently.

But cousin still had to use the excuse of exchanging Cleaning Talismans to give some supplies to others.

Although not much, it still made Little Fish’s heart ache.

Even though cousin seemed very strong, very cold, and very ruthless in front of outsiders.

Only her cousin knew that all of that was an act.

Cousin was only nineteen!

And I’m only fourteen!

Perhaps everyone in the convoy was living with a mask on.

“Hey, Sun Xixi, are you home?”

Just then, Chen Ye’s voice sounded outside the door.

Hearing Chen Ye’s voice, Sun Xixi felt as if granted amnesty, “Yes, yes, I’m coming right out!”
