The originally somewhat spacious pool quickly began to feel rather crowded.

This pool was packed with superhumans from three different convoys.

The Fair Convoy had Chu Che, Chen Ye, Iron Lion, Ding Dong, Zhou Xiaoxiao, Sun Xixi, Little Fish, and Xu Lina.

The Happy Family convoy counted Auntie Zhao, Lin Qingge, and the Mohawk Teenager.

The Peace Convoy had Lin Shu Tong, Su Jisheng, and Tang Le Le.

Little Fish and Tang Le Le were like two lively little birds in the pool, chattering away without ever stopping.

Chen Ye, meanwhile, awkwardly turned his head away. Fortunately, the swirling steam helped him preserve at least a little bit of face.

The Pink-haired Girl kept glaring fiercely at Chen Ye from time to time, clearly labeling him as a big pervert.

Whenever Chen Ye dared to let his gaze wander toward Lin Shu Tong,

he would face the Pink-haired Girl’s furious stare.

Lin Shu Tong kept her head lowered the entire time, the blush on her face extending all the way down her neck into one continuous flush.

Xu Lina wore a smile at the corner of her mouth, chatting with Sun Xixi occasionally.

And whenever Chen Ye’s gaze seemed to turn in her direction, this woman would always, subtly… hmm…

Zhou Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, seemed preoccupied, silently hiding in a corner the whole time.

Everyone knew what this woman was thinking.

She had used the Sequence Serum, yet she showed no reaction whatsoever.

Logically, if she were truly going to awaken, she should be showing some signs by now.

In contrast, while Xu Lina was also anxious, she wasn’t as plagued by hopes and fears as Zhou Xiaoxiao.

Iron Lion, that guy, was quietly soaking in the bath the entire time, chatting with the Mohawk Teenager.

Most of the time, the Mohawk Teenager was the one talking, while Iron Lion nodded with a simple-minded earnestness.

Surprisingly, these two got along with rare harmony.

Lin Qingge lay quietly on one side with her eyes closed, very still, not saying a word.

Auntie Zhao, meanwhile, was her usual boisterous self.

She could strike up a conversation with anyone.

And her topics of conversation were mostly about everyday family matters.

Ever since learning that Chu Che was just a kid, Auntie Zhao had abandoned her earlier thoughts of finding an old companion.

This forthright, outspoken auntie had a cheerful personality, was unafraid to love or hate, and never minced her words, which actually endeared her to many.

As for Chu Che, that guy kept looking at Chen Ye, then at Sun Xixi, with a thoroughly malicious and scheming expression.

It made Chen Ye want to slap him a couple of times.

There was also one very quiet child.

That child named Su Jisheng lay obediently beside Lin Shu Tong.

When she finally took off the sunglasses she had never removed from her face,

everyone realized that this child was actually blind.

No wonder she never took off her glasses.

Thus, even more people felt a pang of sympathy for the Peace Convoy.

And they also felt for the hardships Lin Shu Tong, this woman, must have endured.

Over by the convoy area, three Concealment Barriers had already been set up, covering the hot spring area as well.

The other pools over there were already bustling with noise and activity.

Even though their pool was quite a distance away, they could still hear the sounds of laughter and play coming from over there.

Tonight was clearly the most lively and relaxed evening since the apocalypse began.

Chen Hao watched all this happening with envy, but unfortunately, he couldn’t participate.

In a slightly secluded spot, a hunched, emaciated figure sat alone on a large rock, staring blankly in the direction of the Oasis.

If the people of the Oasis could see Deputy City Lord Ding Shen now, they would surely be shocked.

This former top expert of the Oasis was now haggard and withered.

No one could imagine the glory he once possessed.

Chu Che looked at Ding Shen’s figure and sighed softly.

Chen Ye nudged Chu Che with his elbow. “Squad Leader Chu, how about sharing some of your tea? On such a good day, not having a couple of drinks just doesn’t feel right.”

Chu Che ignored Chen Ye’s suggestion and just said gloomily, “That person… probably won’t live much longer!”

Chen Ye also followed Chu Che’s gaze.

Chu Che continued, “Ding Shen, he used to be of the Guardian Sequence! This sequence has a characteristic: once it identifies a target to protect, it will dedicate its entire life to carrying out that guardianship.”

“This Deputy City Lord’s target to protect was the Oasis!”

“Now that the Oasis is gone, he probably can’t go on living either!”

“This is the faith of the Guardian Sequence, and also its side effect.”

“It’s just like that fool Chen Hao, who, because of a single promise, has been held in check by that Little Fatty until now.”

For a moment, Chen Ye didn’t know what to say.

Every sequence had its own side effects. For example, when he was in the Smoke Apostle Sequence, he lost his eyesight.

When he reached the Blood Moon Lord, he lost the ability to sleep.

As for the side effect of the Sword Immortal Sequence, he still didn’t know.

That damn girl Sun Xixi had never mentioned it.

“What a pity, such a loss, my Death God Blood Tears…”

“If I had known earlier…”

“If you had known earlier, you would have still saved him!”

Chen Ye cut off Chu Che’s words.

Chu Che was left speechless, choked up.

After a moment, he looked at Chen Ye. “No, you kid were hiding it before, who would have thought you were actually the Blood Moon Lord, tsk tsk… you hid it deep enough!”

“You even kept it from us!”

“That’s right, that’s right…”

Sun Xixi, listening to their conversation, nodded repeatedly.

She had also guessed Chen Ye’s advanced sequence before, but just never knew for sure.

Chen Ye snorted coldly. “You two are also hiding big secrets, aren’t you? How about you two tell me about yours?”

Sun Xixi looked away uncomfortably.

Chu Che also evaded the question and changed the subject.

Lin Shu Tong found the dynamic between the three of them quite amusing and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Chen Ye gave Lin Shu Tong a casual glance, making her blush furiously.

“Oh, right, cousin, I know Supervisor Xue has an instant camera!”

Little Fish, having chatted about something with that little girl Tang Le Le, suddenly spoke up.

Hearing Little Fish say this, everyone’s interest was immediately piqued.

“You really have an instant camera? Little Fish, why didn’t you say so earlier!”

Sun Xixi was also delighted!

“Hehe… I forgot before, cousin, you never asked!”

“Hurry, go get it…”

Little Fish, having received permission, jumped out of the pool like a little puppy and ran off with Tang Le Le.

A short while later, the little girl returned.

She was holding a black object in her hand.

Just as she approached, she stumbled, and the object in her hand flew in a parabolic arc toward the hot spring pool.

“Ah~~~”

“Careful…”

“Cousin…”

Exclamations erupted!

Before anyone else could react, they saw Iron Lion’s four arms flailing to catch it.

Whether it was due to nervousness or being too relaxed,

his four hands actually failed to catch the thing!

Just as it was about to hit the water,

a wisp of smoke steadily caught the object.

After these past few days of recovery, Chen Ye’s Supernatural Power had recovered a little bit.

He might not be able to fight yet, but catching a camera was still possible.

Everyone finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

Only then did they see clearly that this was the instant camera Little Fish had mentioned.

Chen Ye gave it a quick check and discovered that the instant camera still had battery power.

And there were still over a dozen sheets of film left.

Taking photos was an utterly ordinary thing before the apocalypse.

But now, it felt exceptionally rare and precious.

“Everyone…”

Before Chen Ye could say anything with a grin,

Sun Xixi jumped up first. “Wait, let me put on some makeup first!”

With that, she dashed off in a flash.

Xu Lina also stood up, head lowered, and left.

A moment later, Lin Shu Tong also walked away along the edge of the pool.

Only a few men were left, looking at each other.

The Mohawk Teenager said helplessly, “Women are so troublesome.”
