When Chen Ye saw this road sign, a sense of alertness instinctively rose in his heart.

Damn, isn’t this exactly the cliché from those horror movies?

The main characters arrive at an unfamiliar place, and everyone says that old mansion is haunted.

But the main characters refuse to believe it and insist on going.

In the end, everyone dies, leaving only the title of the movie.

The scene before them was strikingly similar to that movie plot.

Everyone circled around the small road sign a few times, but there was nothing else around.

Not even the corpses that should appear in horror films.

Only this road sign with bloody words stood by the roadside.

The survivors had already begun whispering among themselves.

“Don’t go to the Oasis? This… this…”

Some timid people looked around warily, as if afraid an Anomaly might suddenly jump out.

“Look how scared you are. Just because it says don’t go, we shouldn’t? This might just be someone’s prank.”

Some people expressed disdain.

They had come so far; how could they be scared off by a single road sign?

“The Oasis, even if I die, I’m going!”

This was the thought of people like Zhou Xiaoxiao, Boss Gao, and Xu Lina.

Sequence Serum—this was the only way to become a Superhuman. How could they give up because of this road sign?

Even if Chen Ye and the others didn’t go, these people wanted to shake off the Superhumans and go alone.

That was Sequence Serum…

Chu Che fell silent for a moment before saying, “What do you all think?”

The Pink-haired Girl rubbed her chin with a “there’s only one truth” expression and said, “It’s obvious something has happened at the Miraculous Oasis, but what I’m curious about is how this road sign appeared here.”

“This road sign gives the feeling of someone who escaped from the Miraculous Oasis, using their last dying moment to desperately leave a warning for those coming after!”

“But, if the situation was truly critical, who would take the time to specifically make a road sign under such circumstances?”

“If there really was an emergency and they wanted to leave a warning for those behind, it would be impossible to make such a road sign and place it here.”

“Therefore, I think the possibility of it being a prank also exists!”

The girl didn’t say she was one hundred percent certain, only that this possibility existed.

The Pink-haired Girl wasn’t stupid; she was just young and had been under her family’s protection before the apocalypse, which made her seem somewhat naive about certain things.

Moreover, the side effect of the Sword Immortal Sequence wasn’t reduced intelligence.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, feeling the Pink-haired Girl made some sense.

Ding Dong thought for a moment and said, “We’ve come all this way. Not going is obviously impossible. Even if we don’t go, they’d probably go on their own!”

Ding Dong gestured for everyone to look at those survivors.

Chen Ye and the others looked toward the survivors in the vehicles.

The managers in each vehicle hadn’t let the survivors inside get out.

Those survivors were now pressed against the windows, each frowning as they looked at this road sign.

Some survivors’ eyes held disdain, as if they thought this was just a boring prank.

Some looked into the distance beyond the road sign, as if searching for traces of the legendary Oasis.

Others looked worriedly at the few Superhumans, seemingly concerned they might change their minds.

There were worried people, but not many.

Everyone is afraid of death.

But if there’s enough benefit ahead, even the most timid will choose to take the risk.

Whether it’s the abundant supplies of the legendary Oasis or the Sequence Serum said to be there.

For everyone, it’s the most fatal poison.

Chu Che turned his gaze to Iron Lion.

Iron Lion scratched the back of his head, his face still wearing that simple, honest expression.

“I… I don’t know either. I’ll listen to you guys!”

Chen Hao, standing nearby, seemed like he also wanted to voice his opinion.

“I… Huang Di says…”

Chen Hao had only spoken two words before Chen Ye directly interrupted him.

“Alright, alright, I know what you mean. You’re saying Huang Di wants to go, so you’re going too?”

Chen Hao nodded repeatedly.

Ever since that Little Fatty didn’t die, Chen Hao had returned to Little Fatty’s clutches.

After these days of interaction, Chen Ye also learned about the promise Chen Hao lost to Little Fatty in their bet.

That phrase “Protect you to live!” had become Chen Hao’s curse!

In Chen Ye’s words, this guy was incredibly stubborn.

Chen Ye could make hundreds of such promises every day.

But for Chen Hao, once a word was spoken, it had to be fulfilled.

Chen Hao’s words already represented the opinions of two people.

Everyone turned their gaze to Chen Ye.

“Yezi, what do you think?”

Chen Ye’s blood-red left eye flickered slightly. He had already looked over the words on the road sign repeatedly several times and currently hadn’t found anything wrong.

Chen Ye thought for a moment and said, “I think it’s better if we temporarily don’t go to the legendary Oasis!”

Cautious Chen Ye was, as always, “safety first.”

Sequence Serum, supplies, Wonders…

None were as important as staying alive.

Everyone hadn’t expected Chen Ye to be opposed, and for a moment, they all fell silent, looking at Chen Ye.

Chen Ye didn’t keep them in suspense, saying, “It’s the apocalypse now. No one would risk coming here to put up a sign just for a prank!”

“Before the apocalypse, it might have been possible, but now it’s the apocalypse. Any extra action that doesn’t produce benefit could bring danger!”

The Pink-haired Girl hadn’t expected Chen Ye to oppose her opinion and said somewhat indignantly:

“You didn’t put up this sign. How would you know?”

Chen Ye’s direct rebuttal made the girl feel slightly embarrassed.

Chen Ye ignored the girl’s indignation and continued, “Whether it’s a prank or not, being able to put this sign here, regardless of the purpose, already shows the legendary Oasis has problems!”

“Then… then how do you explain the question of why this road sign exists? If they really wanted to leave a mark, there are plenty of methods!”

“It’s the apocalypse now. Making such a road sign isn’t impossible, but it’s troublesome, right?”

“If they really wanted to leave a mark, they could find a rock to write on or write on the ground.”

The Pink-haired Girl continued indignantly.

Chen Ye looked around and then said, “Why they had to put a road sign here, I don’t know. Maybe it was to make it easier for people coming after to notice!”

Chen Ye and the Pink-haired Girl had opposing opinions, and both made some sense. The survivors who heard them immediately grew tense.

Chu Che touched his increasingly thinning hair and also looked around.

Chen Ye asked, “Have you seen any pathfinder’s marks?”

Chu Che shook his head: “No, there are no pathfinder’s marks here.”

Chu Che then said, “I believe you all know the convoy’s current situation. We don’t have much gasoline left. Without gasoline, we can’t move an inch.”

“This is no longer the familiar place we knew. Along the way, we haven’t seen any gas stations.”

Actually, during this migration journey, obtaining vehicle fuel had become less difficult as the convoy’s Superhumans grew stronger.

After all, not all gas stations were in cities.

Some gas stations were built along the sides of roads.

Some gas station locations were even quite remote.

Every time they encountered such gas stations, the convoy’s people would get out and replenish heavily.

Because humans died too many, too fast, too suddenly, and there were few such migrating convoys, most supplies and most gas station reserves were still quite abundant.

But after coming out from the Old Ox Mountain Ancient Path, the convoy hadn’t encountered a single gas station.

Chen Ye could have the Monster Pickup Truck consume to obtain fuel replenishment.

But everyone else’s vehicles were all mechanical products; they couldn’t run without gasoline.

“If our fuel doesn’t get replenished, the problems the convoy will face, I don’t need to say, everyone understands clearly.”

“Also, our convoy’s supplies are running low! The potatoes and lettuce Ding Dong cultivated weren’t even enough for us to be self-sufficient before. Now with so many people, it’s even more insufficient.”

“Therefore, the legendary Oasis, we must go!”

“Such ideal grain seeds, the legendary Oasis has many. As long as we obtain them, no matter what happens in the future, it will be a huge supplement to the convoy’s supplies.”

Hearing Chu Che say this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Chen Ye didn’t show displeasure because of Chu Che’s differing opinion.

He was already a mature, cunning, and sly man, not a child.

Even if danger came, he definitely wouldn’t be the first to die.

With so many survivors, they were all potential shields.

He had just stated his opinion.

As for what to do next, that would depend on Chu Che’s decision.

Chu Che then said, “However, what Chen Ye said isn’t without reason. Our journey ahead needs to be more cautious.”

Alright, Chu Che still understood the way of balance well. Even though he didn’t follow Chen Ye’s idea of not going to the legendary Oasis.

He still affirmed Chen Ye’s reasoning.

Chen Ye cursed in his heart, “Little fox!”

And so, the convoy continued on its way.

But just as the convoy had been driving for about three hours.

Perhaps because they were getting closer and closer to the target on the map.

The convoy unconsciously accelerated a bit.

Soon, it accelerated a bit more.

Unconsciously, the vehicle speed had actually approached seventy.

The convoy formed a long dragon speeding across the vast grassland.

Suddenly, Chu Che, Captain Chu leading at the front, slammed on the brakes and stopped his vehicle.

Chen Ye, following behind Chu Che, almost didn’t react in time, swerving the steering wheel violently and stomping on the brakes.

The Monster Pickup Truck ground out two black tire marks on the grass, a tentacle extended from the front bumper and firmly pressed against Chu Che’s off-road vehicle ahead.

Not only that, but the unmanned vehicle behind also seemed not to react in time.

Another tentacle extended from the back of the Monster Pickup Truck’s cargo bed, firmly pressing against the Pink-haired Girl’s vehicle’s front bullbar.

The three vehicles had just come to a stop.

From behind also came the sounds of a series of sudden brakes.

Instantly, the entire grassland was left with a large patch of ugly scars.

“Damn it, Chu Che, are you crazy?”

Chen Ye picked up the radio and directly snapped.

“Squad Leader Chu, what’s the situation?”

“Ahead… there’s a corpse!”

Chu Che’s serious voice came through the radio.

Corpse?

Corpses were rare in the current apocalypse setting.

Over ninety-nine percent of the world’s population had died; there should be corpses everywhere.

But whether in towns, the wilderness, or cities, Chen Ye and the others rarely saw corpses.

Not completely absent, but rare.

No one knew how those Anomalies handled human corpses.

The few people quickly got out of their vehicles.

Everyone soon saw the “corpse” Captain Chu had mentioned.

This was a man wearing a jacket and jeans.

The man had messy short hair and was lying face down on the ground, with a patch of not-yet-dried blood on the grass beneath him. The blood mixed with the grass had formed a dark brown patch.

“Squad Leader Chu, he… he’s still alive!”

The Sword Immortal Sequence’s keen perception allowed the Pink-haired Girl to detect that this “corpse” before them seemed to still have a breath!

Chu Che reached out to feel at the man’s nose, then without another word hurried to take a bottle of diluted “Death God Blood Tears” from his vehicle.

He aimed at the man’s mouth and poured it down.

Chen Ye had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his right hand gripping the hilt of Hatred, ready to handle any possible sudden situation.

Even though this person before them was on the brink of death, Chen Ye wasn’t completely at ease.

Soon, after pouring down a dose of diluted Death God Blood Tears.

The man seemed to improve slightly, slightly opening his eyes, seemingly somewhat stung by the blazing sun in the sky.

After a while, the man’s eyeballs finally turned, and he saw clearly the group of people surrounding him.

The man’s lips moved slightly, as if he had something to say.

Chu Che quickly leaned over with his ear.

Soon, the man closed those eyes again, his body going completely limp.

“Squad Leader Chu, what… what did he say?”

“Squad Leader Chu, is he… dead?”

The first question was asked by Chen Ye.

The second was asked by the Pink-haired Girl.

Chu Che didn’t answer, just placed the man on the ground.

Doctor Luo only then hurried over, his wife following behind him.

Doctor Luo knelt down before the man and began examining him.

Chu Che stood up, his eyes profound, slowly answering Chen Ye’s question: “What he said was ‘Don’t go!'”

Just as Chu Che finished saying this.

A glass syringe slipped from the man’s tightly clenched right hand.

When Chen Ye’s gaze fell upon this glass syringe, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

This was… a used Sequence Serum syringe!
