When Chen Ye caught up with the convoy, the blood moon was already high in the sky.

The crimson light bathed the sand dunes.

From a distance, the convoy appeared much larger than before.

On one side, dozens of camels were casually lying on the sand dunes.

On the other side, several vehicles sat quietly parked.

In the middle was a large bonfire, with Chu Che, Iron Lion, and Sun Xixi all gathered around it.

Several smaller fires surrounded the area.

Each fire had survivors gathered around it.

Something was being roasted over every fire.

A strange meat aroma could be smelled from far away.

Chen Ye’s Apocalyptic Pickup Truck chugged back noisily, causing many people to turn and look.

The vehicle slowly came to a stop.

Chen Ye got out of the car, looking like a man made of dust – from his hair to his face to his clothes, everything was covered in dust.

Only his blinking eyes and the white teeth visible when he spoke showed he was still human.

“Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!”

Chen Ye’s first action after getting out was to continuously spit out the sand in his mouth.

Without a windshield.

Chen Ye had essentially been eating sand the entire journey.

Even a light pat on his body would stir up a cloud of dust.

The Apocalyptic Pickup Truck wasn’t in much better condition.

Not only was the entire vehicle covered in grime, but both side doors had completely disappeared.

The last remaining door couldn’t withstand the bumps and had fallen off halfway through the journey.

At that time, Chen Ye was focused solely on escaping for his life and had no time to retrieve the door.

As a result, the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck had no windshield and no side doors.

The overall style appeared quite rugged.

“Chen Ye?”

Captain Chu shone a flashlight over, the beam illuminating Chen Ye.

“Who else would it be!”

“You guys really aren’t considerate, running off without me! What if I couldn’t make it back?”

“If you didn’t come back, it would be doing society a favor by getting rid of a troublemaker!”

“What happened to your car?”

“Just making it back is good enough!”

Now that everyone was familiar with each other, they could joke around freely.

Chen Ye didn’t mind Captain Chu’s teasing at all and walked directly to the bonfire.

Chen Ye originally wanted to ask about the Wonder they had apparently obtained earlier, what it was exactly.

But given the current situation, he could only wait until later to ask.

The four-person team had clearly gained an additional member.

It was that woman called Ding Dong.

The two had previously conspired to scheme against that Demon Sequence user, so they were already acquainted.

Chen Ye nodded at her as a greeting.

Ding Dong politely responded in kind.

“Smells amazing, did you kill a camel?”

The Pink-haired Girl sniffed the air: “Yes, I’ve never eaten camel meat before, I wonder if it tastes good!”

The girl looked quite greedy, swallowing saliva repeatedly while speaking.

Actually, it wasn’t just the girl who was greedy – many people were craving it.

After the apocalypse, most of the meat available was smoked or cured meat, with fresh meat basically impossible to get.

Iron Lion stared intently at the meat roasting over the fire, only giving Chen Ye a brief greeting when he arrived before returning his gaze to the meat.

Clearly, this period had left the guy absolutely craving it.

Titan Sequence users naturally had much larger appetites than ordinary people.

Their craving for meat was also much stronger than normal.

During this meatless period, Iron Lion had suffered the most.

“Even if we don’t eat them, these camels probably won’t last much longer anyway – they’re all going to die!”

Captain Chu looked regretful.

In Chu Che’s view, these camels were excellent transportation.

In some ways, they were even more useful than four-wheeled vehicles.

Of course, if you asked Chu Che to trade vehicles for camels, he definitely wouldn’t do it.

But he couldn’t bear to just eat so many camels like this.

Chen Ye looked around: “No feed?”

“Previously, all the camels in the camel train were Zhan Lei’s responsibility – he’s a Breeder Sequence user!”

“Zhan Lei would feed these camels some of their secret formula pills every few days!”

“As long as they ate these things, the camels could go days without food, even without drinking water!”

“Zhan Lei escaped, and those secret formula pills are all with him.”

“If we can’t find enough food for these camels, it won’t be long before…”

The speaker was Ding Dong, her tone carrying some sadness.

Clearly, she also didn’t want these camels to die.

Having traveled together with these camels all this way, she had developed some affection for them.

Not far away, several camels had already been killed by survivors and were being dissected.

After hearing Ding Dong’s explanation, Chen Ye secretly marveled.

Indeed, every Sequence Superpower had its own incredible aspects.

Just being able to raise these camels like that was already impressive.

Now there were pills that could substitute for food.

Breeder Sequence users might lack combat power, but when it came to raising animals, probably no one could match them.

If this were before the apocalypse, just these skills alone could have made them incredibly wealthy.

If given enough time and resources, a Breeder Sequence user…

Might even be able to overpower other sequences in terms of combat capability, who knows.

Just look at those wolves from before – each one was plump and strong, like little calves.

Chen Ye had previously wondered why these camels didn’t have much forage on their backs.

The reason lay entirely with that Breeder Sequence Super user.

Unfortunately, that person had already escaped, and without a pathfinder to guide him, he was probably already killed by Anomalies.

Without him and without forage, these camels probably wouldn’t last more than a few days.

Under normal conditions in resource-scarce areas, a camel needs 4-8 kilograms of dry grass daily and 8-10 liters of water.

They occasionally came across some dry grass and withered tree trunks.

Along the way, the convoy would collect any withered tree trunks and branches they encountered.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to build these bonfires.

But this dry grass was far from enough to serve as forage for these dozens of camels.

Not to mention the 8-10 liters of water.

Right now, water was as precious as gold.

Chu Che absolutely wouldn’t use that much water to raise dozens of camels.

Unless they left this desert.

Therefore, killing some camels as reserve food was necessary.

This wasn’t something Chen Ye needed to worry about.

The convoy had plenty of people who knew how to make jerky, and plenty who were willing to do this kind of work.

As for someone possibly asking how they could make jerky in the desert with such scarce resources?

There were always ways, even if it ended up tasting worse.

Better than having nothing to eat.

Soon the camel meat was roasted.

A reasonably well-roasted portion of camel meat was brought before Chen Ye.

The meat aroma filled the air, and Chen Ye sniffed, feeling saliva wildly secreting in his mouth to the point where it might spill out if he wasn’t careful.

However, Chen Ye still didn’t touch his chopsticks.

Instead, he looked around.

This wasn’t ordinary camel meat – it came from camels raised by a Breeder Sequence user.

And those pills he used definitely contained the breeder’s supernatural abilities.

Who knew what would happen after eating this camel meat.

Just as Chen Ye looked up elsewhere, he happened to make eye contact with Captain Chu Che.

They looked at each other, instantly understanding each other’s thoughts.

Chen Ye: “Definitely a cunning fox!”

Captain Chu: “Little fox, truly cunning!”

While these two had their own thoughts, others didn’t hesitate at all.

Iron Lion was the most exaggerated, opening his huge mouth wide and tearing into a large piece of meat before him.

“Yezi, Captain, why aren’t you eating? It’s delicious!”

Sun Xixi asked with her mouth full of meat, mumbling as she spoke.

Chen Ye chuckled: “You guys eat first!”

I’ll wait to see if there’s any poison before I eat!

Of course, he didn’t say this part out loud.

Across from him, Chu Che also pretended he wasn’t hungry yet.

Indeed, these two scheming bastards had exactly the same mindset.
