The man ended up dying after all.

The diluted Death God Blood Tears wasn’t a miraculous medicine that could bring flesh back to white bones; the man’s injuries were too severe.

The diluted Death God Blood Tears couldn’t save the man’s life.

After exhausting all his efforts, Doctor Luo had no choice but to declare the man’s death.

The wounds on the man’s body indicated he had suffered attacks from sharp weapons and an unknown energy.

By the time he reached here, he was clearly already on his last breath.

The diluted Death God Blood Tears gave the man the ability for a final rally.

Following Xue Nan’s instructions, a few survivors dug a pit and placed the man’s body inside.

Of course, digging a hole naturally couldn’t be done without Iron Lion’s participation.

Otherwise, relying on just a few ordinary people, wanting to dig a pit suitable for an adult man to lie down in would absolutely be impossible to finish within three minutes.

As for the other survivors, the convoy’s managers didn’t let them get out of the vehicles.

They only knew that a corpse had been encountered ahead; some with sharp eyes just took a distant glance.

As for who this man was and what he had experienced before.

No one knew.

Everyone only knew the man had a large black mole near his left eyebrow; apart from that, they knew nothing about the man’s identity.

People dying was the most common occurrence in the apocalypse.

A simple farewell ceremony was held for this man.

The entire process took only ten minutes.

Presiding over this simple farewell ceremony wasn’t very difficult for Xue Nan.

He had seen Old Bao do it before.

Now, Xue Nan had taken over Old Bao’s work.

However, this man’s death still caused a certain impact on the convoy.

What Chu Che was now holding in his hand was the empty syringe of the Sequence Serum that had slipped from the man’s right hand.

“Squad Leader Chu, is this the used Sequence Serum syringe?”

The pink-haired girl curiously examined the empty syringe in Chu Che’s hand.

The Sequence Serum syringe was very different from other syringes; it felt very heavy in the hand, much heavier than ordinary glass syringes.

Moreover, there was a sequence identifier on the syringe.

At the most prominent spot on the syringe, a line of words was written: “Critical Point Injection Concentrate”.

Clearly, “Critical Point Injection Concentrate” should be the official name of the Sequence Serum.

Back when Chen Ye injected the Sequence Serum, afraid that others would discover it, he had only taken a hurried glance and didn’t look further.

But now, this empty syringe looked very similar to the one he had used back then.

“This is the Sequence Serum syringe. The price of manufacturing just this syringe alone is enough to buy a small two-bedroom apartment outright in a first-tier city.”

“That expensive?”

Hearing Chu Che say this, everyone was somewhat astonished for a moment.

“Compared to the medicine inside, this is just a drop in the bucket.”

“When the Sequence Serum was first manufactured, its price was set at a hundred million. Unfortunately, this thing was completely priceless and unavailable on the market!”

“Don’t say a hundred million, even a billion might not get you one!”

Chu Che looked at this empty Sequence Serum syringe, feeling a bit emotional for a moment.

He seemed to be recalling something from the past.

This barefoot, bald man full of secrets clearly knew things ordinary people didn’t.

“Wait, Squad Leader Chu, how do you know so much? What else do you know? Tell us?”

Chen Ye teased.

Facing Chen Ye’s banter, Chu Che’s expression didn’t change much.

He just said in a very calm tone, “You’ll all know in the future. Knowing now won’t do you any good.”

“Fine! Looks like our squad leader really is a riddle-master!”

“Alright, everyone, seeing this situation now, do you still really want to go to the legendary Oasis?”

“The previous road sign could still be said to be someone’s prank, but now someone has died.”

“Do you still want to go?”

“This so-called legendary Oasis is probably not some friendly place; don’t you want to think it through clearly?”

Chen Ye really didn’t want to go to the legendary Oasis now.

Two hints, one after another, had raised Chen Ye’s vigilance to the highest level.

Especially the discovery of the Sequence Serum syringe this time made Chen Ye decide to bury deep in his heart the fact that he could mass-produce “Sequence Serum”.

This thing was a ticking time bomb.

Forget about what the situation at the legendary Oasis might be.

Just the convoy’s excited performance these past few days was enough to make Chen Ye feel the highest level of caution.

Chen Ye believed that if the news that he could mass-produce Sequence Serum got out.

Even the most timid ordinary person in the convoy would dare to point a knife at him.

Unless he could advance to Sequence 9…

Otherwise, he would take this secret to his grave without telling a single person other than himself.

Not even Chu Che, Iron Lion, Ding Dong, Sun Xixi, or any of them.

He wouldn’t utter a single word.

After Chen Ye pointed out the dangers of the legendary Oasis.

The few of them looked at each other.

Chu Che still spoke up: “We have no resources; we need the Sequence Serum!”

“Even if the legendary Oasis is a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair, we must venture into it.”

“This isn’t a multiple-choice question; it’s a single-choice question.”

When Chu Che said this, his demeanor was somewhat resolute.

Chen Ye continued asking, “Squad Leader Chu, even knowing people might die, you’d still go?”

“If we go, people might die, but if we don’t go, even more people will die. Yezi, if you were me, what would you choose?”

Chen Ye shrugged and turned to look at the pink-haired girl.

The pink-haired girl gritted her teeth and said, “We have to go! Squad Leader Chu is right, we must go!”

“What about you?”

Ding Dong remained silent for a few seconds, her mind filled with images of Zhou Xiaoxiao practicing punches diligently day and night.

“Go!”

Iron Lion: “I… I don’t know. If you go, I’ll go!”

Chen Ye held his forehead with his hand. Hopeless.

This group had clearly made up their minds; they were definitely going.

Chen Ye glanced at Chen Hao, who hadn’t spoken the whole time.

Due to his stuttering, the stammering man often kept his mouth shut, which led to his presence being very low-key.

Seeing Chen Ye look at him.

Chen Hao stammered, “I… I don’t… want… to go!”

Chen Ye’s eyes lit up slightly, not expecting someone to be on his side.

But then Chen Hao stuttered out the next sentence: “But… I… must go… go!”

Chen Ye directly shut his mouth.

Without needing Chen Hao to finish his next words, Chen Ye knew what he wanted to say.

That Little Fatty definitely wanted to go to the legendary Oasis.

Little Fatty wanted to go.

Then Chen Hao, bound by his oath, would definitely have to go too.

There was no point discussing this further.

Everyone wanted to go; only he didn’t want to.

If it were before the apocalypse, and opinions differed.

At most, they could just turn the vehicles around and act separately.

But this was the apocalypse now; even Chen Ye didn’t dare to leave the group and act alone.

You have to understand, without the pathfinder, Chen Ye would very likely encounter Anomalies.

Even though he had now advanced to Sequence 3, he was no match for those Anomalies.

Sequence 3 was still far from reaching a level where one could act alone.

Chen Ye was destined to be swept along towards the mysterious oasis.

Chen Ye didn’t know what else to say.

He could only follow along as the convoy advanced.

The convoy traveled until evening before stopping to set up camp.

The survivors each had their assigned tasks; soon, tents were pitched and bonfires lit.

With a team of over a hundred people, these tasks were completed quickly.

By the bonfire.

The few of them devoured their dinner ravenously.

Even Ding Dong, who was usually calm and composed, now ate her meal very quickly.

Several experiences of going hungry made Ding Dong realize that in this convoy, eating was the one thing where you absolutely shouldn’t stand on ceremony.

In just a few minutes, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, putting down their bowls while burping.

Only Chen Hao and Little Fatty’s expressions looked somewhat unpleasant.

After deciding to eat with everyone before, Little Fatty discovered he was almost never full.

During dinner today, even though he had clearly exerted his utmost effort to eat, he still couldn’t compete with these shameless people.

And not a single person showed even a hint of guilt on their face.

Seriously!

I haven’t even finished one bowl, and each of you has eaten at least two bowls?

This is ridiculous…

Chen Hao silently recited his quotations…

Chu Che pretended not to see the whole thing, clearing his throat twice and saying, “Ahem… everyone, according to the map, we can reach the legendary Oasis by tomorrow noon!”

“Tomorrow noon? That fast?”

“Yes, tomorrow noon. Moreover, everyone, according to my senses, there are no Anomalies within at least a hundred kilometers around here, meaning this place is very safe!”

“But… Xue Nan, we still need to arrange a few more people for night watch!”

Chu Che said to Xue Nan, who wasn’t far away.

Xue Nan nodded slightly, wolfed down two more mouthfuls, finished the rice in his bowl, then got up to make arrangements.

This was Xue Nan’s execution power; as long as it was Chu Che’s order, Xue Nan would act immediately.

“Also, everyone, tonight, it’s best if the Superhumans also take turns on night watch!”

When Chu Che finished saying this, his voice also carried a serious tone.

The few people present just exchanged glances, but no one raised any objections.

The two incidents that happened before had already indicated problems with the legendary Oasis.

And now they were already very close to the legendary Oasis.

It was better for everyone to take precautions.

You have to understand, when camping before, Superhumans rarely stood night watch.

Firstly, with a pathfinder like Chu Che, if there were Anomalies nearby, he would be the first to discover them.

Places where they could camp were definitely safe enough.

Secondly, the perceptions of Superhumans were all very sharp.

If there was any movement, they could detect it immediately even while asleep.

And the pink-haired girl of the Sword Immortal Sequence was extremely sensitive to any approaching danger.

She could sense any non-Anomaly type danger the moment it appeared.

But today…

Chu Che didn’t spell it out completely, but everyone understood in their hearts.

Today, what they needed to guard against wasn’t Anomalies.

After a brief discussion, they formulated the night watch plan for tonight.

Chen Ye, Iron Lion, and Chen Hao would guard the first half of the night.

Ding Dong, Sun Xixi, and Little Fatty would guard the second half of the night.

After dinner, everyone chatted a bit about the plan for going to the legendary Oasis, also reminding each other to be careful.

Music actually started coming from the survivors’ bonfire area.

A long-haired young man holding a guitar started singing.

A few female survivors also danced gracefully by the bonfire to the rhythm.

Many survivors gathered around, singing along with the guitar player around the bonfire.

Clearly, what happened during the day hadn’t dampened their yearning for the legendary Oasis and the Sequence Serum.

People are always forgetful.

Time flew by, and it was soon eleven o’clock.

Apart from those on night watch, everyone returned to their own tents.

Chen Ye, Iron Lion, and Chen Hao, one on each side, guarded three directions of the camp respectively.

Chen Ye also drove the Monster Pickup Truck over.

Sitting cross-legged on the roof of the pickup, Chen Ye glanced at the blood moon in the sky.

From cultivating the “Observing the Blood Moon Breathing Technique” at Sequence 1 to now cultivating the “Moon Devouring Technique”.

This had given Chen Ye a bit more affinity with the blood moon.

But even so, Chen Ye couldn’t stare directly at the blood moon for more than a minute.

Otherwise, there was a risk of mental corruption.

Ordinary people couldn’t stare directly at the blood moon for more than three seconds.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, many ordinary people were curious about the blood moon in the sky, looked at it for too long, and ended up going insane.

When the convoy first formed, every night you could see people who had stared at the blood moon for too long, mentally corrupted, silently walking into the darkness never to appear again.

It’s just that this phenomenon was much rarer now.

Everyone knew not to stare directly at the blood moon.

Sun Xixi, Iron Lion, and Chu Che had already reached Sequence 3, and they couldn’t stare directly at the blood moon for more than half a minute either.

Only Chen Ye was different; after all, all his cultivation methods were related to the blood moon.

He briefly sensed the condition inside his body; the Supernatural Power was still boiling within, as if he could break through to Sequence 3 at any moment.

Iron Lion and Chen Hao were not far away.

Chen Hao had somehow gotten hold of a book and was intently flipping through it using a charged camping light.

As for Iron Lion.

This guy had already taken off his shirt and was earnestly practicing the “Diamond Demon-Subduing Fist” he had obtained from the Big Monk in Divine Elephant Village.

His exaggerated muscles looked somewhat terrifying under the glow of the blood moon.

Chen Ye closed his eyes and began circulating the “Moon Devouring Technique”.

Half an hour later…

The Supernatural Power inside his body was like boiling water.

An hour later, the Supernatural Power was like a surging great river.

Two hours later…

That barrier inside his body loosened…

Three hours later…

Chen Ye’s Blood Eye suddenly opened…

An incredibly profound, invisible power spread out from the Blood Eye.

He… had finally reached Sequence 3.
