Chapter 524: Chen Ye, You Truly Deserve to Die! |
Facing Sun Xixi's accusations, Chen Ye didn't show the slightest hint of embarrassment on his face.
Instead, he grinned and said, "Xixi, saying that is where you're wrong!"
"You're the number one expert in our convoy! If you don't step up, are you telling me to let a small fry like me take the lead?"
"Sword Immortal Sequence!"
"Come on, tell me yourself—how many people have you seen whose Sequence name carries the character 'Immortal'?"
Faced with a shameless bastard like Chen Ye.
Sun Xixi found herself at a loss for words for a moment.
Chen Ye's behavior earlier made it look like he was afraid of that woman.
But deep down, Chen Ye genuinely didn't feel that woman could bring him much pressure.
If they went all out, who would win and who would lose was still up in the air.
It was just that Chen Ye, sticking to his philosophy of using underhanded tactics rather than direct confrontation and bullying the weak rather than the strong.
That's why he pushed Sun Xixi to the front.
What dignity? What backbone?
Are they more important than survival?
The group chatted casually.
Meanwhile, they also arranged the night watch duties for tonight.
On normal days, there was no need for Superhumans to stand guard.
It was fine to just grab a few ordinary people.
After all, the convoy's pathfinder wasn't just for show.
If there were any Anomalies, he would be the first to detect them.
But today was different—there was another convoy here.
And one with which they'd had previous conflicts.
Soon, Chu Che returned.
Squad Leader Chu rubbed his hands together and sat down by the campfire.
Gong Yong quickly moved aside to make room for Chu Che.
"Squad Leader Chu, what's the situation with the other side?"
Gong Yong was the first to ask.
This guy was somewhat wary of Chen Ye, but he no longer held any reverence for Chu Che.
Clearly, this guy was starting to fit in more and more with the Fair Convoy.
Instead of answering Gong Yong's question, Chu Che said, "This damn weather keeps getting colder!"
"Most of the survivors in the convoy don't have enough clothes!"
"The next time we gather supplies, we'd better get some clothes. Otherwise, a lot of people are bound to get sick!"
Back when they were in Rong City, the convoy had already collected clothing.
But that was already last year's business.
After migrating for so long, who knows how much was left.
But the ordinary survivors who joined the convoy later really didn't have any clothes on hand.
Some of them had been wearing the same outfit from start to finish.
After saying this, Chu Che turned to look at Gong Yong.
"Dayong, I've already negotiated with them. Tomorrow, you'll help modify their vehicles!"
"Their cars have had the entire power system dismantled, so modifying them won't be hard!"
"Don't worry, they said they'll compensate you!"
"Also, they have a young girl from the Physician Sequence on their side. She'll come over tomorrow to treat our convoy's people too!"
Chu Che explained the deal he'd struck with the other convoy.
As Chu Che slowly shared the information he'd gathered.
Everyone finally learned the details of this convoy called the Shepherd Convoy.
That hot-tempered woman was a Sequence 4 ancient martial artist Superhuman.
Ancient Martial Artist Sequence?
This was the first time they'd encountered this Sequence.
Just from hearing the Sequence name, it was obvious this woman had strong close-combat abilities.
Her name was a stark contrast to her personality.
This woman had a very gentle name—Jiang Rou.
Hearing this name, Chen Ye was stunned for a moment, then grumbled, "That name has nothing to do with her!"
The others also wore strange expressions.
Chu Che chuckled, "According to their captain, this Jiang Rou wasn't like this before!"
"Could it be the side effects of those Wonders..."
Chen Ye muttered.
"That's right. According to their captain, it's the Wonders!"
"Yezi, you were lucky you didn't clash with this woman earlier. That woman's blade, high heels, and that red backless bodycon dress."
"They're all Wonders, and they're ranked pretty high!"
"She's considered their convoy's top expert."
Chen Ye didn't feel any fear because of Chu Che's warning.
Instead, Chu Che's words confirmed his own guess, and the greed in his heart grew a bit more.
Chen Ye lowered his head slightly, hiding the greed in his eyes.
There was no choice. These guys knew him too well.
The moment they saw his eyes, they'd probably know what he was thinking.
"Wait, Squad Leader Chu, how do you know all this in such detail?"
Gong Yong was also curious.
Even though Squad Leader Chu was impressive, there was no way he could have gathered so much information in such a short time.
Chu Che grinned, "I brought half a bottle of liquor over there."
"Plus, their captain is a big mouth to begin with!"
"After a couple of drinks, he answered whatever I asked."
Everyone finally understood.
Chu Che then shared more information.
That breeder who had a grudge with the Fair Convoy was named Zhan Lei.
A year ago, Chen Ye and his group had pulled a black-on-black scheme, swallowing up the Camel Train.
After Zhan Lei fled in disgrace, relying on his Breeder superhuman ability, he eventually ran into the Shepherd Convoy.
So he ended up surviving in this convoy.
Now he was also a Sequence 4 Superhuman.
All the livestock in the convoy were Zhan Lei's doing.
Moreover, due to the side effects of being a Breeder, Zhan Lei had lost the ability to speak.
No wonder they'd never heard this guy talk.
Everyone finally understood.
"Wait, did that guy even reveal this?"
Gong Yong was a bit shocked.
This went beyond just being a big mouth.
Someone like that could be a captain?
Chen Ye said disdainfully, "What's so strange about that? It sounds like you know everything from listening!"
"But think carefully—after hearing all this, don't you feel like this convoy is even less to be messed with?"
Chu Che nodded, "That guy might be a big mouth, but showing us their trump cards is his way of discouraging any other ideas we might have."
"He did it on purpose!"
"This is him showing his blade!"
Gong Yong thought for a moment, then nodded seriously, and said to Chu Che and Chen Ye,
"Squad Leader Chu, Brother Yezi, you guys really think deeper!"
Chen Ye sneered, "If you put all that effort into brown-nosing, no wonder you fall short of others!"
This remark left Gong Yong speechless, his eyes rolling.
His face turned bright red.
And he was cursing wildly in his mind.
Chen Ye, you damn bastard! It's wrong for me to flatter you, and it's wrong not to flatter you!
I'm finally trying to ease my relationships in this convoy!
Chen Ye... you truly deserve to die~~~
Just you wait, sooner or later, sooner or later.
I'll make you call me Dad.
Gong Yong naturally knew who Chen Ye meant by "others."
It was that genius mechanic from Fog City, whom he'd never met face to face—the prodigy who had single-handedly crafted four Wonders.
The pink-haired girl jabbed Chen Ye hard in the arm and shot him a glare.
Little Fish also followed her cousin's example and threw a glare at Chen Ye.
As for Ding Dong.
She acted as if she hadn't heard anything.
Iron Lion had heard it, but he didn't understand a word.
Chu Che then moved on to share information about the other people on the opposing side.
