"Today, the sky seems to be getting light a bit late!"

Chu Che looked into the distance, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Chen Ye glanced at the electronic wristwatch on his hand.

It was already eight o'clock now.

The sky was only just beginning to show a faint hint of light.

If it were winter, it would be understandable for the sky to brighten a bit later.

But back in the Oasis, it was already this bright by six in the morning.

"It should be winter now, so it's understandable for the sky to get light a bit later!"

Iron Lion's thick, simple voice came through.

Chen Ye shook his head: "This doesn't feel like winter. After the apocalypse, many seasons have long been thrown into chaos."

Iron Lion scratched the back of his head: "Hehe... my brain doesn't work too well. Whatever you guys say is what it is!"

Chen Ye didn't reply, just looked at the pink figure practicing swordplay in the distance. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The Pink-haired Girl was as diligent as ever.

Like Chu Che, Chen Ye was also feeling worried.

Chen Ye hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Squad Leader Chu, you think... could it be that we've run into an Eternal Night?"

"Eternal Night? Don't talk nonsense..."

Hearing the two words "Eternal Night" suddenly uttered by Chen Ye, Chu Che also shuddered in fright.

After all, nowadays, many Anomalies could appear during the daytime.

But nighttime was still when Anomalies were most active.

If a situation like Eternal Night occurred...

Thinking about it, Chu Che felt Chen Ye's speculation wasn't completely impossible.

After the apocalypse, snow in June could happen, so what kind of event was truly impossible?

Moreover, this continent was no longer the same land they originally lived on.

Anything could happen.

No one knew what might occur on this unfamiliar land.

After some thought, Chu Che waved his hand towards the distance.

Xue Nan quickly walked over.

"Squad Leader Chu!"

"Supervisor Xue, go take inventory and see how many lighting devices our convoy currently has left."

"Lighting?"

Xue Nan was momentarily stunned. Though he didn't understand why Chu Che was asking this, a troubled expression still appeared on his face.

"Squad Leader Chu, back in the Oasis, we traded most of our things for food!"

"The remaining lighting equipment isn't much!"

Chu Che suddenly understood, waved his hand, said nothing, and signaled for Xue Nan to go about his business.

"Maybe things aren't that bad yet!"

Chen Ye attempted to offer comfort with these words.

This sentence was meant to comfort himself as well as Chu Che.

This was just a random guess they had come up with later.

How could whatever they say just become reality?

"I hope so..."

"Little Chu, Little Chu..."

Right at that moment, a familiar voice called out.

Chu Che trembled all over, his face showing a mix of alarm and helplessness.

Chen Ye turned to look and saw Auntie Zhao walking over with a look of delight on her face.

A teasing smile appeared on Chen Ye's face: "No way, Squad Leader Chu, you're not really..."

Before he could finish, Chu Che glared at him angrily...

Chen Ye shrugged: "If you don't like it, just make it clear. If you act like a scumbag, I really will look down on you!"

With that, he walked away.

Only a faint sentence drifted over: "Squad Leader Chu, I think Auntie Zhao is actually quite nice..."

Chu Che was instantly left speechless with frustration.

But Auntie Zhao was already right in front of him.

Auntie Zhao seemed to have also heard Chen Ye's words, her face beaming even more happily: "Little Chu, I think Little Chen is a good guy. If it really doesn't work out, I can introduce Qingge to him."

"That kid is a bit shady, but he's actually a good young man..."

Chu Che's face darkened further.

Then he spoke in a very serious tone: "Zhao Hongmei, actually, there's something I've been wanting to tell you..."

"Ah..."

...

Even though the sky got light a bit late today.

It still eventually brightened.

Only, the sky was somewhat gloomy.

Far from the clear, cloudless skies of before.

Regarding this, the ordinary people in the convoy didn't show any particularly abnormal reactions.

Just a cloudy day, it's not like they hadn't seen one before.

Chen Ye also muttered to himself, wondering if he was being overly suspicious.

Currently, the convoy, strictly speaking, wasn't really a single convoy.

To describe it more accurately, it had already become a small migratory tribe.

The relationship between Auntie Zhao's convoy and the Fair Convoy was still quite good.

The ordinary survivors between the two convoys also interacted and mingled.

From time to time, you could see ordinary survivors from the two convoys sitting together chatting and talking.

During this escape from the Oasis, the Fair Convoy,

originally a team of over a hundred people,

now, not counting the Superhumans, only had seventy-six people left.

This number was much smaller than before.

Actually, the number was originally even lower.

When leaving, many of the original residents of Oasis City also ran out and followed them.

In that chaotic situation at the time, as long as they weren't Anomalies,

Xue Nan had people let them onto the vehicles.

To be precise, the ordinary members of the Fair Convoy had been swapped out for a new batch.

For Superhumans like Chu Che and Chen Ye, this didn't have much impact.

As long as they were human, they didn't particularly care about who exactly it was.

The Happy Family convoy also had a similar situation.

Auntie Zhao's handling method was similar to Chu Che's.

The only convoy that remained somewhat aloof was that Peace Convoy.

The elderly and children made up a large portion of the Peace Convoy.

Plus, all three Superhumans in their convoy were girls, and they were the weakest in strength, so they were somewhat wary of the other two convoys.

You could often see those elderly and children working slowly and sluggishly.

Those few young survivors were even busier, either taking care of children or attending to the elderly every day.

Even many times, Chen Ye saw those three Superhuman girls having to go over and help.

Their final Pathfinder was actually also a girl.

A child of about ten-something years old, not yet an adult.

After getting slightly familiar, they understood why their convoy was in this situation.

It turned out that two of the three Superhumans in the convoy were children from a certain welfare institution.

The team leader and these elderly people were originally staff members of that welfare institution.

Later, during the migration process, they encountered an Anomaly that could suck away people's lifespans.

Thus, the convoy ended up with so many elderly people.

Only then did everyone understand why the Peace Convoy had so many elderly people.

According to their own account, actually, the oldest among these elderly people was only in their forties.

The younger ones were only in their twenties.

But looking at them now, each one appearing old and frail.

Even Chen Ye felt waves of chill running down his spine.

That Beastman Sequence named Tang Le Le, however, got along very well with Little Fish.

Perhaps because both of them shared a common enemy.

The three convoys were currently temporarily gathered together.

Of course, they would still separate eventually.

It just wasn't time yet.

After the Oasis, with so many humans dead, being able to gather together was also a very difficult thing.

Being able to spend more time together was also very good.

After all, sometimes during the migration process, they might go one or two months without encountering another convoy.

Chu Che had actually thought about merging the three convoys together.

But the number of people would be too large.

Too dangerous.
