Ding Shen is dead.

Regarding his death, Chen Ye feels no sorrow. His encounters with this number one expert of Oasis were actually quite few.

The two had no prior friendship between them.

If not for the Oasis incident.

The two might have even had a major battle.

No one has any objections to his death either.

The only ones feeling somewhat sad are those who escaped from Oasis.

Among the convoy's current ordinary members, a portion joined because during the chaos and disorder of that initial turmoil, they ran to the convoy seeking shelter in the confusion.

These people became the convoy's new members.

Some of these members are original inhabitants of Oasis.

While others are people from other convoys who mixed into this convoy.

Given the immense chaos back then, there was simply no way to screen each and every one individually.

The convoy held a simple funeral for Ding Shen. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

They buried this former Deputy City Lord of Oasis City in a place not far from the hot spring.

With his back against this hot spring hill, facing the direction of Oasis.

A few original Oasis inhabitants are softly sobbing.

But Chen Ye's thoughts are very complex.

Ding Shen was right; regarding the Blood Moon Lord sequence, what he himself doesn't know is still far too much.

From the very beginning of his cultivation, the System gave him the "Observing the Blood Moon Breathing Technique." From that moment on, his cultivation path diverged from others.

It could be said his supernatural power is inextricably linked to the blood moon.

Upon reaching Sequence 3, he directly became the Blood Moon Lord.

This feeling is as if someone deliberately arranged it this way.

Therefore, Chen Ye has developed a bit of suspicion towards his own System as well.

Because of this suspicion.

Chen Ye, despite having gained over three hundred thousand Slaughter Points this time, still hasn't performed any upgrades.

Moreover, because of that move he used in Oasis City, his current supernatural power is completely depleted.

Only after these days of recovery has he barely managed to regain some.

Thus, Chen Ye has decided he will temporarily not perform any upgrades until his supernatural power is fully restored.

To be as cautious as Chen Ye is.

He's truly one of a kind.

Actually, there are still many areas where Slaughter Points could be used for upgrades.

For example, the lighting system in the current camp is urgently lacking.

Nowadays, the sky gets bright later and later each day; who knows, one day the sun might simply not rise.

According to Chu Che's judgment, the arrival of the Eternal Night is inevitable.

One must understand, nighttime is when anomalies are most active.

And what might happen on this new continent, no one can say for sure.

Just as Chen Ye is lost in these random thoughts.

He sees a swaying figure approaching from the distance.

Seeing such a person suddenly appear, the convoy members break out in a cold sweat.

One must know, there are quite a few Sequence 3s present.

To be able to break through here so silently, if the other party is an anomaly...

Fortunately, everyone quickly recognizes this person.

"Is this Ding Shen's grave?"

The dry, raspy voice sounds as if it's coming from a throat dried out for an entire night.

It's Cha Wu...

Although he hasn't seen this Oasis City City Lord many times.

Chen Ye still recognizes this City Lord.

He truly has no idea how this guy managed to find this place alone.

No one expected this person to suddenly appear here.

This person is like a ghost.

"City Lord Cha, you..."

Cha Wu pays no attention to Chu Che's words, simply standing before Ding Shen's grave, looking at the few characters on the tombstone.

"Grave of Ding Shen, Deputy City Lord of Oasis."

These characters are written crookedly and unevenly, the handiwork of Chu Che.

The other few Oasis residents, upon seeing Cha Wu appear, are clearly very agitated, wanting to come forward and say something.

But Cha Wu doesn't even glance at them properly.

"Ding Shen... you've worked hard!"

Cha Wu murmurs...

Seeing this, Chen Ye and the others exchange glances, then silently leave, leaving Cha Wu alone here.

These two important figures of Oasis City, every brick and stone of Oasis is engraved with both their names.

Who would have thought it would end up like this.

Two hours later, Cha Wu returns to the hot spring camp where the convoy is stationed.

At this time, although Cha Wu looks haggard and listless, he can at least communicate normally.

Through the City Lord's mouth.

Everyone learns another side of the Oasis anomaly riot.

Oasis City originally had four City Lords.

Ding Shen, Ma Qing, and Zhou Jueshen were all Deputy City Lords.

Cha Wu was the initiator of Oasis and also the proper City Lord of Oasis.

Originally, Cha Wu didn't want to become City Lord, feeling his own abilities were insufficient.

But in the end, he couldn't withstand the persuasion of the others and took up the position of City Lord.

Although he felt his abilities were lacking, Cha Wu still dedicated himself wholeheartedly to managing Oasis City.

Ding Shen had always been striving to maintain the balance between Oasis and the anomalies.

Although he also did many things that sound infuriating just hearing about them, Oasis was able to maintain that state entirely thanks to Ding Shen.

The two even argued about this matter many times.

But Cha Wu wasn't doing nothing either; he secretly awakened a second sequence as a Formation Master.

He told no one about this Formation Master sequence, precisely to prevent the news from leaking and letting the anomalies find out.

Therefore, Cha Wu had always planned to set up a formation in Oasis that would forbid anomalies.

Originally, this formation was mostly completed. It only needed a bit more time. Once the formation reached completion, combined with Ma Qing's research, Oasis would absolutely become the legendary haven it was meant to be.

It's just a pity the anomalies came too early.

Regarding Ma Qing's matter, everyone also learned from Cha Wu's mouth.

"City Lord Cha, what is Oasis like now?"

Chu Che asks.

Hearing Chu Che's question, Cha Wu remains dazed for a full half minute before finally letting out a long sigh.

"Ah..."

"Oasis's current situation is probably even worse than those Uninhabited Forbidden Zones!"

According to Cha Wu, Oasis is now not only a forbidden zone for humans, it has even become a forbidden zone for anomalies.

Any anomaly that enters it will ultimately be annihilated.

Through Cha Wu's account, everyone confirms once again that Xiong Ba was indeed replaced by a Pseudo-human back then.

And that Deputy City Lord of the Architect Sequence, Zhou Jueshen.

This Deputy City Lord was only Sequence 3.

But in the end, he erupted with unprecedented potential, erecting a circle of city walls out of thin air to seal everyone inside.

It turns out this Deputy City Lord Zhou Jueshen was also secretly striving.

In fact, he had long been Architect Sequence 4, just one step away from Sequence 5.

As for why he kept it hidden.

The reason was the same as Cha Wu's: because there were anomalies within Oasis City.

One must know, anomalies are extremely wary of high-sequence superhumans.

Once a superhuman like Sequence 5 appears, even if it's just a non-combat-focused sequence, it will provoke a strong reaction from them.

It's just a pity he was also replaced by a Pseudo-human.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have caused everyone so much trouble in the end.

"I always thought Ma Qing..."

"Forget it, there's no point in saying more..."

Whenever mentioning Oasis's past events, City Lord Cha Wu always seems to have a lot to say, but in the end, nothing comes out.

"By the way, you must not go any further ahead!"

"The Eternal Night is coming; you'd best prepare yourselves!"

Hearing Cha Wu say this, Chu Che's expression turns serious: "City Lord Cha, what dangers will the Eternal Night bring?"

Cha Wu shakes his head: "I don't know either. However, you'd best make ample lighting preparations, otherwise it will be very troublesome!"

"Some anomalies are very fearful of light!"

"When will the Eternal Night end?"

Auntie Zhao asks from the side.

Cha Wu shakes his head: "I don't know. Perhaps a week, perhaps a month, perhaps forever..."

Hearing this, everyone feels as if a huge rock is pressing down on their hearts.

"Don't forget, the Return to the City Plan is about to begin soon!"

"At that time, Wonders with sequence rankings in the top ten might appear. With good luck, obtaining one or two Wonders from the top hundred isn't completely without hope either."
