After taking the photo, a crowd of people gathered around to look.

The Pink-haired Girl kept shaking the photo up and down, stopping occasionally to check if the image had developed yet.

Chen Ye and the others weren't particularly interested.

With so many people together and insufficient lighting, it would be a miracle if the instant camera managed to take a clear picture.

At best, it would probably just show vaguely human shapes.

Sure enough, when the figures on the photo developed.

Another round of excited chattering erupted.

"Ah... this is way too blurry!"

"It's barely passable, I guess!"

"Darn it, why are my eyes closed?"

"I look so ugly!"

"Why do I look so fat? I haven't been eating anything good lately~~~"

"Ah~~~~"

Chitter-chatter... chitter-chatter...

Fortunately, there were still over a dozen photo papers left.

So, the Pink-haired Girl and the others started discussing how to use these remaining photo papers.

The women quickly reached an agreement.

Since this instant camera originally belonged to the Fair Convoy.

Naturally, the Fair Convoy would get the majority of the remaining photo papers.

The other two convoys would each get two photo papers.

Sun Xixi soon returned with the instant camera.

"Squad Leader Chu, Yezi, Iron Lion, and Sister Ding Dong, let's take a photo just for our convoy."

The Pink-haired Girl held up the instant camera excitedly.

No one objected to this suggestion.

"Cousin, I want in too!"

Little Fish shouted as she ran over.

Chen Ye said, "Might as well call Xue Nan and Xiao Fu over too!"

"And Dr. Zhou and Sister Shen!"

Perhaps the next time they encountered danger, someone in the convoy might never be seen again.

Soon, several key members of the Fair Convoy took another photo together.

Sun Xixi acted as the convoy's chief photographer, directing everyone to strike various poses according to her instructions.

One moment she demanded Chen Ye flash an exaggerated, beaming smile.

The next, she told Iron Lion to wipe that silly grin off his face.

Then she made Chu Che wear a hat to cover his bald spot...

Finally, Chen Ye also received a group photo of everyone.

In the group photo, the Pink-haired Girl smiled sweetly, while Chen Ye looked somewhat impatient as he extended a hand and made a "heart" gesture with her.

Xu Lina stood behind Chen Ye, making bunny ears with her hands above his head.

Little Fish glared at Chen Ye, clearly looking like she wanted to assassinate him.

Iron Lion struck a strongman pose.

Chu Che and Ding Dong stood to the side watching the others mess around, occasionally getting directed by Sun Xixi too.

The scene was even more lively and bustling.

It took quite a while before they were finally done.

The instant camera was then passed to the other convoys.

Similar scenes continued to play out.

And so...

The first night at the hot spring felt remarkably harmonious.

It allowed people to briefly forget everything that had happened at the Oasis.

Many of the events at the Oasis remained unclear to most people.

There were still many unanswered questions.

But no one dwelled on them anymore.

Because when the cities first became Uninhabited Forbidden Zones, there were far more mysteries than those few puzzling things at the Oasis.

In this apocalypse, there were too many things humanity couldn't figure out.

After soaking in the hot springs.

Someone had already prepared dinner.

The Fair Convoy's dinner remained sumptuous.

Auntie Zhao's convoy's dinner wasn't bad either.

The only one still pitifully meager was the Peace Convoy.

Their convoy's dinner was still a bowl of watery porridge thin enough to reflect one's shadow.

Looking at their convoy's state, they probably wouldn't last more than a few days before their supplies ran out and they starved to death.

Yet even so, that woman Lin Shu Tong hadn't once asked the other two convoys for help from start to finish.

One had to admit this woman was truly stubborn.

Just as Chen Ye finished his meal and was about to return to the Monster Pickup Truck to sleep.

He happened to see Lin Shu Tong slowly sipping a bowl of watery porridge.

He really didn't know how this woman had survived.

Due to Chen Ye's inherent wariness, every time they camped, he chose a spot somewhat distant from the others' campsite.

Therefore, Chen Ye's sleeping spot was in the same direction as Lin Shu Tong's convoy's location, even somewhat close by.

Right then, Chen Ye saw Chu Che and Auntie Zhao approaching.

Auntie Zhao held several chickens in her hands, while Chu Che carried some potatoes and lettuce.

"Hey... young lady, you're eating just this for dinner?"

"You're a Superhuman, after all. If you don't eat your fill and encounter danger, what will you do?"

Seeing Lin Shu Tong's dinner, Auntie Zhao felt a pang of distress.

"Auntie Zhao, I... it's enough. I've been trying to lose weight recently."

Lin Shu Tong seemed somewhat embarrassed.

This woman was already thirty, yet she still blushed easily.

If one judged solely by her personality, one might think this woman hadn't even graduated yet.

For someone with such a temperament to survive could only be attributed to luck.

Or perhaps her Witch Sequence had advantages other sequences couldn't match.

Auntie Zhao sighed, "You child..."

Auntie Zhao extended the chickens in her hand forward: "Take these, raise them well. At least you won't have nothing in the future!"

"Your convoy has few people. Be careful, budget meticulously, and you'll always find a way to survive!"

"And these insects, they're all Feed Silkworms..."

Auntie Zhao chattered on as she explained.

She talked for a full ten-plus minutes before finishing.

Chu Che also handed the potatoes and lettuce in his hands to Lin Shu Tong.

"These are Ideal Grain Seeds. We don't have many either, so we can't give you much!"

"These are easy to grow... combined with the corn seeds you had before, life will be a bit easier in the future..."

Seeing Chu Che, that spendthrift, actually giving away the convoy's Ideal Grain Seeds to someone else.

Chen Ye's eyes widened.

Wait, this wasteful idiot...

They had fought tooth and nail for those few Ideal Grain Seeds back at the Divine Elephant Village.

If it weren't for those eighteen people from the Divine Elephant Village paying with their lives in the end.

It was questionable whether any of them would even be alive now.

Chen Ye's face darkened.

He really wanted to rush over and slap that idiot Chu Che.

Fortunately, Chu Che hadn't given away the meatworms.

After all, no matter how much the convoy bred them, there were still only the original three meatworms.

When Lin Shu Tong saw the Ideal Grain Seeds, she was momentarily stunned, then flusteredly refused.

"Squad Leader Chu, no, this... this is too precious..."

This simpleton...

Still so polite even in the apocalypse.

Lin Shu Tong refused while glancing toward Chen Ye.

She seemed to have sensed Chen Ye's unfriendly gaze.

What kind of person Chen Ye was.

Lin Shu Tong knew very well. She was afraid that after Chu Che left, Chen Ye would immediately snatch away what had been given to her.

After all, Chen Ye had a track record.

Chu Che seemed to notice Lin Shu Tong's reluctance and saw her eyes darting toward Chen Ye.

He instantly understood Lin Shu Tong's concern.

"Don't worry, Chen Ye isn't that kind of person..."

"Just take them properly..."

"Hey, Yezi, I'm giving these things to Lin Shu Tong. You don't have a problem with that, right?"

Chu Che turned and called out loudly to Chen Ye, who had been watching from a distance.

Chen Ye snorted coldly, turned around, and got into his vehicle.

He didn't offer any opinion on Chu Che's words.

Chu Che chuckled, turned back to Lin Shu Tong, and said, "See? Yezi isn't that kind of person!"

Lin Shu Tong looked in Chen Ye's direction, the corner of her mouth twitching. She seemed to find Chen Ye quite interesting, but she suppressed the smile that was about to bloom.
