The moment the door blocking the path between Sequence 2 and Sequence 3 was opened.

Chen Ye understood…

Understood why the third advancement sequence for Smoke Apostle had remained unknown to anyone.

Now that the moment had arrived, if someone asked Chen Ye what advancement sequences were available for Smoke Apostle at Sequence 3.

Chen Ye wouldn’t reveal the third option either.

Chen Ye eliminated the Smoke Apostle sequence itself.

This sequence reached a dead end at Sequence 4.

It was an incomplete sequence.

Naturally, Chen Ye couldn’t possibly walk a dead-end road.

As for Mist Lord.

Chen Ye hesitated briefly, but didn’t choose that sequence either.

This sequence had many similarities to the previous Smoke Apostle, with some abilities even overlapping, making it impossible to maximize benefits.

As for the third choice…

Chen Ye hesitated for a full ten minutes.

In the end, he still chose this third advancement sequence that had always remained unknown.

As Chen Ye made this choice, a cryptic, icy, even somewhat terrifying energy descended from the sky.

Chen Ye’s body acted like an anchor point receiving the energy.

Those scorching, anomalous, frigid, and frenzied energies wildly poured into Chen Ye’s body.

In just an instant, it felt like thousands of years had passed.

When Chen Ye opened his eyes, what greeted him was that blood-red blood moon in the sky.

The crimson blood moon also became somewhat blood-red like deep scarlet blood because of Chen Ye.

At this moment, Chen Ye’s entire being had undergone a tremendous change.

It seemed to be resonating with the blood moon in the sky.

Previously, because Chen Ye practiced the Observing the Blood Moon Breathing Technique and the Moon Devouring Technique.

He could stare directly at the blood moon for much longer than ordinary superhumans.

But now…

Chen Ye stared at the blood moon without any restraint.

“Hey! Chen Ye, are you crazy? What are you looking at the blood moon for?”

Just then, the Pink-haired Girl’s crisp voice suddenly rang in his ear.

Originally planning to sense the differences of this new Sequence 3, he was interrupted by the Pink-haired Girl.

“You… how did you get here?”

Chen Ye’s mind still retained the novel experience of the advancement, and his thoughts hadn’t fully switched gears yet.

“It’s time, our shift!”

“So soon?”

Chen Ye felt somewhat bewildered.

“This is soon? You… are you okay?”

“Oh, I’m fine. Then you take over, I’m going to rest!”

Chen Ye avoided the Pink-haired Girl’s gaze, his body transforming into a wisp of green smoke that dissipated on the spot. The next second, the green smoke coalesced inside the Monster Pickup Truck, reforming Chen Ye’s body.

Under the Pink-haired Girl’s astonished gaze, the Monster Pickup Truck slowly moved away from its spot.

“Chen Ye… he… is he okay?”

The Pink-haired Girl watched Chen Ye leave, muttering to herself.

Iron Lion and Chen Hao also handed over their positions and turned back to their tents to sleep.

Because Iron Lion’s physique was too exaggerated, there simply wasn’t a completely suitable tent for him.

Plus, the current temperature wasn’t very cold.

So this guy didn’t return to the vehicle either, just found a spot to lie down on the ground, and soon thunderous snoring could be heard.

Chen Hao obediently crawled into the small tent beside that Happy Prince car.

As for Chen Ye…

The Monster Pickup Truck’s cargo bed had already been modified by him into a resting area.

One side of the vehicle body had been opened up, allowing him to lie in bed and directly see the blood moon and stars in the sky.

But Chen Ye currently had no desire to sleep at all, lying on his side with eyes open, watching the blood moon and stars.

After confirming the advancement sequence, his strength had undoubtedly increased.

But the doubts in his heart had only grown.

…

“Little Fatty and Chen Hao left?”

When Chen Ye got up in the morning, his eyes were sporting two very noticeable dark circles.

Making someone who originally looked somewhat gloomy now appear even more gloomy and unapproachable.

Then Chen Ye noticed something off about the camp.

That extravagantly styled Apocalyptic Fortress had disappeared without a trace.

Even Chen Hao’s Happy Little Prince had vanished without a trace.

And those people who previously followed Little Fatty were also gone.

“Damn, Yezi, you didn’t sleep all night?”

When Chu Che saw the dark circles under Chen Ye’s eyes, he was also greatly startled.

You should know, a superhuman’s physique is completely different from an ordinary person’s.

Even going a few days without sleep isn’t a big problem.

But the dark circles under Chen Ye’s eyes weren’t from just one or two sleepless nights.

He looked like he hadn’t slept for at least a week.

The dark circles under his eyes were so dark it looked like panda makeup.

Especially the Blood Eye in his left eye, combined with the black fleshy hole in his right eye, paired with the heavy dark circles, made his whole person appear even more bizarre.

“Didn’t sleep well yesterday. How did those two run off?”

Chen Ye changed the subject and asked directly.

“What else could it be? There are no Anomalies around here anymore, it’s considered safe, so Little Fatty plans to go to the Oasis first himself!”

“Chen Hao went with him, and those willing to follow them too!”

“Damn, that Little Fatty just ditched us like that?”

“Forget it, they have their own path to walk. Let’s pack up and prepare to set off too.”

“You’re in this state, want to sleep a bit more?”

Ran off?

No wonder he heard rustling sounds just before dawn.

Chen Ye shook his head, yawning as he said, “I’m fine. Even though I look very tired, the moment my head hits the pillow, I’m full of energy and can’t sleep!”

“Well… alright then. Be careful driving today!”

“Mmm…”

And so, Chen Ye, sporting two heavy dark circles, brushed his teeth and washed his face.

When the Pink-haired Girl saw Chen Ye’s dark circles, she was also greatly surprised.

Iron Lion and Ding Dong reacted the same way as the others before.

After Chen Ye briefly explained a couple of sentences, he returned to his vehicle, found those sunglasses again, and put them on.

No choice, this newly advanced sequence was just too bizarre.

The price was insomnia.

Insomnia might seem like an insignificant price.

But only those who have experienced tossing and turning in bed, watching the sky outside the window gradually lighten with eyes wide open, can understand the agony.

Some people suffer from insomnia for years on end, yawning constantly when night falls.

But the moment their head hits the pillow, they instantly become wide awake.

To get a good night’s sleep, many people are willing to spend huge sums of money.

Anyone who has booked overnight sessions at an internet cafe knows that after pulling an all-nighter, the moment you step out of the cafe, it feels like the world is separated from you by a layer of frosted glass.

If you book consecutive overnight sessions…

Yesterday was only the first day.

Chen Ye wanted to try resisting this price. Last night, Chen Ye tried very, very hard to fall asleep.

Even when he heard Little Fatty and Chen Hao leaving just before dawn, Chen Ye didn’t plan to get up and check.

At that time, he was locked in a fierce battle with insomnia and didn’t know the specifics of their departure.

Hence the conversation he just had with Chu Che.

After Little Fatty and Chen Hao left, the convoy’s current number was one hundred and thirty-seven people.

The convoy’s current number had reached a historical peak.

The space inside those two airport shuttle buses also became much roomier.

But the convoy still appeared quite large.

After a simple breakfast, everyone discussed plans for heading to the Oasis.

With Little Fatty setting an example, everyone also had new thoughts about going to the Oasis.

After some discussion, everyone decided to split the convoy into five teams.

Among them, Chen Ye alone formed one team.

Chu Che plus Ding Dong, plus one airport shuttle bus formed the second team.

Iron Lion’s school bus alone became the third team.

The Pink-haired Girl plus one airport shuttle bus was the final team.

As for why they were divided this way, there was no particular reason, it was just random.

After all, the number of people in this convoy was really too large.

It could easily attract attention.

This way, each small team would have at most around thirty-something people.

A small team of thirty-something people wouldn’t arouse suspicion either.

As for why a thirty-something person team could survive without a pathfinder, just look at Little Fatty as an example.

Anyway, the characteristic of superhumans is that they have a bunch of methods and secrets.

There’s more than one way to avoid Anomalies.

Didn’t Little Fatty’s Apocalyptic Fortress set an example for everyone?

Having a pathfinder lead the team is naturally the optimal solution.

But pathfinders aren’t common cabbages, you can’t just have one whenever you want.

If there’s no pathfinder, it’s not completely impossible either.

Who knows what special abilities some strange sequences might have?

Even though doing this feels a bit like taking off your pants to fart.

But maybe it’s useful?

When facing a completely unknown place, making more preparations is always better than making none.

Regarding everyone’s decision, Chen Ye didn’t voice any opposition.

The convoy quickly completed the assignment task.

Xue Nan even repeatedly preached within the convoy, telling the survivors to act more seriously.

At least be serious until they figure out what the Oasis is really like.

And so, several vehicles set off from different directions one after another, heading towards the direction Chu Che pointed.

As for why Chen Ye was alone in one team?

Do you even need to ask?

The Pink-haired Girl’s modified off-roader was at the very front, followed by that airport shuttle bus.

This time, the Pink-haired Girl wasn’t sleeping in the car. Holding the Fire Dragon Sword in her hands, her eyes were sharp as she stared ahead.

After the convoy had traveled for about three hours or so.

After the convoy crested a small dirt slope.

A vast, swaying sea of flowers slowly revealed itself before the girl’s eyes.

This sea of flowers covered a large area, almost filling the Pink-haired Girl’s pupils.

This flower sea contained flowers of all colors, red, pink, white, yellow…

Swaying gently in the breeze, these flowers lightly moved their gorgeous blossoms, as if greeting visitors from afar.

The flower sea extended towards the city wall in the distance.

That’s right, a city wall, a wall about three to four meters high in the distance encircled a city.

A transparent glass dome enveloped the entire city.

“Cousin…”

Little Fish tried hard to crane her neck, looking ahead.

This is…

The Pink-haired Girl was somewhat dumbfounded.

Wasn’t this transparent glass dome the Concealment Barrier of the Pathfinder Sequence?

For the Concealment Barrier she saw almost every few days, the Pink-haired Girl was all too familiar.

But… how could it be this big.

Even Squad Leader Chu Che, who had advanced to Sequence 3, couldn’t possibly create a Concealment Barrier covering a small town.

Could this be the Oasis?

Was there a Sequence 4 or higher-level pathfinder inside the Oasis?

There were also some people standing on the city wall, seemingly having noticed the commotion here.

They were also standing on the wall looking over.

A red flag pointed towards the ground.

The Pink-haired Girl noticed there seemed to be wheel tracks in the middle of the flower sea.

“Follow the wheel tracks!”

The Pink-haired Girl said to her cousin.

Little Fish carefully identified them for a moment before stepping on the gas pedal and slowly driving the off-road vehicle into this sea of flowers.

The airport shuttle bus following behind also drove into the flower sea.

The tires crushed these flowers into the muddy ground, petals mixing with soil.

Shortly after the tires passed, those crushed flowers regrew, and a fresh, gorgeous little flower once again stood tall in the sea of flowers.

The convoy slowly passed through the Concealment Barrier and arrived beneath the city wall.

Up close, they realized this city wall seemed to have been built not long ago, many parts still looked new.

A team of uniformed armed personnel, holding guns respectfully, walked over.

“Excuse me, are you superhumans?”

The Pink-haired Girl turned her head, her eyes sharp as she looked over: “I am a superhuman…”

Hearing she was indeed a superhuman, the armed personnel’s face showed even deeper respect: “Welcome, Your Excellency the superhuman, to the Oasis!”

Soon, the convoy received polite treatment.

The leading armed personnel waved towards the city wall.

The city gate slowly opened.

Even before entering the city, the Pink-haired Girl had already sensed the distinction between superhumans and ordinary people.

That person just now didn’t even look properly at the ordinary people, but was quite respectful towards her.

“Your Excellency the superhuman, everyone entering the Oasis must register. May I ask…”

After the convoy entered the city, a slightly chubby middle-aged man in uniform, smiling broadly and holding a notebook, inquired about the Pink-haired Girl’s information.

“Sword Immortal Sequence 3, Chen Ye!”

The chubby man’s face stiffened slightly.

“Chen Ye?”

The Pink-haired Girl’s eyebrows furrowed slightly: “Is there a problem?”

The chubby man said somewhat awkwardly: “Your Excellency, there’s also someone called Chen Ye over there!”

The Pink-haired Girl was slightly stunned. Had Chen Ye arrived early?

Following the direction the chubby man pointed, she saw Chu Che standing there with a helpless expression, his face looking as uncomfortable as someone constipated.
