"Hey, kid, hand over the stuff!"

Chen Ye held the handle of Hatred, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, sunglasses on his face. Through the dark lenses, one could even glimpse the blood-red color behind them.

The girl with a face smeared in grime looked at Chen Ye like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her expression full of wariness.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand!"

The girl slowly backed away.

What she held in her arms wasn't some treasure, just a few corn kernels.

Simultaneously, she attempted to put on a pitiful expression on her face, trying to evoke even a shred of pity from this man who clearly looked like no good.

Chen Ye chuckled darkly. "Stop pretending, you little brat! You must be from the Beastman Sequence, with Catman bloodline, right?"

"Tsk tsk... interesting!"

"Hand over what you're holding, otherwise, even if you're Sequence 3, there's no way you're escaping my grasp."

At this moment, Chen Ye was just like the big villains in those TV dramas.

The girl's eyes suddenly transformed into vertical pupils, and a cat-like, glossy black tail grew from her back.

The greasepaint on her face clearly became a bit brighter.

Her entire demeanor, which had been trying to appear pitiful, abruptly changed. She bared her teeth, revealing two sharp fangs, and let out a cat-like threatening hiss from her mouth.

Chen Ye watched this Beastman Sequence user with curiosity.

There were still two or three Beastman Sequence users in Oasis City.

That guy who grew wings earlier seemed to be from the same sequence as this little girl.

Before Chen Ye could react, he saw the girl turn around, about to run.

Her movements were so fast they were like an afterimage.

In just an instant, the girl had already fled over ten meters away.

Chen Ye sneered coldly.

A faint blood-red light bloomed in his left eye.

The girl felt a secret joy in her heart. As long as she escaped this alley and disappeared from this man's sight, it would probably be difficult for him to catch her.

But right at that moment, the girl sensed a slight jolt in her heart.

It seemed as if some power was awakening within her body.

This feeling...

The girl was utterly panicked.

Her eyes were filled with nothing but fear and confusion.

This was a kind of eerie power she had never experienced before.

Then she saw her own speed slow down.

Her originally wind-chasing speed now felt like she had fallen into a time trap of sluggishness.

Damn it, move!

Move faster!

Don't stop!

The girl roared inwardly, but in the end, with a panicked expression, she slowly turned around and walked towards that detestable man.

The man with the cigarette dangling from his mouth looked at her with a smile.

As if watching a clown.

The girl's heart was filled with humiliation.

"Does it feel humiliating? Does it feel helpless?"

"Do you want revenge?"

"Remember, my name is Chen Yonggu. Don't get my name wrong."

The girl raged inwardly: Screw your Chen Yonggu, do you think I don't know who you are?

Chen Ye, you just wait!

Of course, the girl didn't shout these words out loud.

Chen Ye stretched out his hand and opened his palm in front of the girl.

The girl gritted her teeth, her right hand very reluctantly pulling out seven corn seeds from the waist pouch close to her body.

Seeing these corn seeds, the girl's emotions clearly fluctuated, seeming extremely unwilling and resistant.

These seven corn seeds were Ideal Grain Seeds.

They were the convoy's rations. With just these seven seeds, her sisters wouldn't have to risk gathering supplies anymore.

The girl clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes brimming with tears.

She couldn't lose these seeds.

She absolutely had to take them back.

Her sisters had paid a price in blood to obtain these. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The girl's left hand lifted, as if intending to use it to stop her right hand's action.

The talisman in the pupil of Chen Ye's Blood Eye rotated slightly.

A trace of confusion appeared in the girl's eyes, and her just-raised left hand slowly lowered.

Finally, those seven corn seeds still fell into Chen Ye's hand.

Chen Ye patted the girl's head. "These seeds, you can't keep them!"

"Even if they don't end up in my hands, do you think others won't come to snatch them?"

"At the very least, we won't kill you over them."

"Without these seeds, you can still survive."

Chen Ye, with the cigarette in his mouth, hummed a nameless tune and prepared to turn and leave.

"Stop!"

Right at that moment, a woman covered in blood, her hair disheveled, appeared before Chen Ye.

The woman's clothes were torn in multiple places, looking quite disheveled.

Chen Ye recognized this woman; she seemed to be with the Beastman Sequence Catman-bloodline girl from earlier.

This woman seemed to be... the Witch Sequence?

The reason he remembered so clearly.

Was mainly because this convoy had three superhumans in total, all of them women, it seemed.

And they were quite formidable, reportedly having two Sequence 3s and one Sequence 1.

That Sequence 1 was the Catman he had just bullied.

Chen Ye looked at the woman before him, about thirty years old. Her originally quite charming face was now filled with a threatening aura.

Chen Ye sneered coldly; he wasn't the type to be tender with the fairer sex.

Ideal Grain Seeds were good stuff.

But wanting him to hand them over was impossible.

If this were before the apocalypse, Chen Ye wouldn't be this overbearing either.

But now...

Apocalypse resources are limited; if he eats a little more, someone else eats a little less.

If someone else eats a little more, he eats a little less.

When the time comes, if supplies aren't gathered in time, he himself might not starve, but others in the convoy definitely would.

Although the number of ordinary people in the convoy was now only over seventy.

The convoy's supplies were still insufficient.

They had their reasons for not being able to lose the corn seeds.

He had his reasons for taking the seeds back.

There was no right or wrong, no good or evil.

And...

He only took the corn seeds.

That girl's bag earlier contained more than just corn seeds.

"You... leave the seeds, and I'll let you go!"

The woman gritted her teeth, her voice quite pleasant.

Chen Ye weighed the corn seeds in his hand, his voice icy cold: "Even at your peak, you weren't my match. In your current state, you'd better be sensible."

"Aunt Xue, be careful, this person's ability is strange!"

The Beastman Sequence girl's figure flickered, appearing beside the woman covered in wounds. She bared her teeth at Chen Ye, like an angry kitten.

However, she still tightly protected the chest bag she was holding.

"You... if you don't hand over the corn seeds, you can't leave..."

The woman said with effort, but her eyes were filled with determination.

Chen Ye snorted coldly, the Blood Eye emitting a bloody glow, a trace of ruthlessness appearing on Chen Ye's person.

The woman's body swayed, but she gritted her teeth and continued: "At least, give us three. Otherwise, you'll have to kill me, otherwise..."

Just these few simple words seemed to exhaust all her strength.

"Yezi, forget it..."

Right at that moment, barefoot and bald-headed Chu Che appeared.

This guy had a compassionate look about him.

Chen Ye frowned but didn't speak.

Even without speaking, he had already expressed his dissatisfaction.

Squad Leader Chu waved his hand. "Give them back three... no, four!"

Chen Ye: Your mother... no, Chu Che, when did you become so kind-hearted?

Spitting out meat already in your mouth?

Why are you so inconsistent?

"If they were ordinary people, I wouldn't say this, but superhumans are different."

Chu Che added an extra explanation.

Chen Ye, with a dark expression, flicked three corn seeds from his hand.

Four?

Don't even dream about it; this is already my limit.

Eerie cries rang out one after another throughout the Oasis.

The expressions of Chen Ye and Chu Che changed repeatedly.

The golden magic array in the sky swayed continuously, as if some powerful force was trying to break through the confinement of the golden array.

"Anomalies, the anomalies are starting to attack the city!"

Hearing this sound.

The faces of Chen Ye and Chu Che drastically changed.
