Chen Ye knew imdiately when he heard that voice—soone was starting trouble.
We're in the apocalypse, and there are still people pulling this kind of nonsense.
Chen Ye sat up in the sidecar of his three-wheeled motorcycle, looking toward the source of the voice.
It was a slightly plump woman with a round face, small eyes, and a pointed chin standing there.
It seed because of this woman's words, everyone had turned to look in this direction.
Chen Ye was no exception.
When the woman's gaze swept over Chen Ye, she also threw him a disdainful glare.
Chen Ye rubbed his nose.
This woman must be crazy.
Chen Ye lit a cigarette, blowing smoke rings with the air of soone preparing to watch a show.
After all, I'm not the leader anyway, let's see how Chu Che handles this.
Chu Che probably didn't expect soone to pull this kind of stunt at a ti like this either.
Chu Che looked at the woman with amusent and laughed, "Then what do you think would be fair?"
The woman's eyes shifted craftily as she said directly, "We're in the apocalypse now, this is when we need you n the most. Making won cook while n reap the benefits—what kind of leader are you?"
Perhaps because Chu Che always maintained his nice guy image.
Or maybe this woman had just arrived in this new environnt and wanted to quickly attract everyone's attention.
Whatever her motives, many won in the convoy had brightened eyes.
Especially among the won who had just joined the convoy, many quietly moved closer to this woman.
In contrast, the won who were cooking glared angrily, as if this woman had stolen their jobs.
But they seed restrained by other reasons and didn't speak up.
Chu Che glanced at Nana beside him.
Nana rolled her eyes, hugged her long sword, and turned to leave.
Chu Che smiled gently and said, "Since that's the case, Sister Zhao, you few can rest first. Old Bao, find so n to co cook!"
Old Bao nodded and turned to walk into the survivor crowd to start selecting people.
Soon, this woman who had stood up for justice realized sothing was wrong.
The several won who had lost their jobs because of her weren't grateful—instead, they looked at her with venomous hatred.
After Old Bao received the order, many n rushed over, raising their hands and shouting, "Old Bao, pick , pick ! I used to be a cook!"
The woman didn't quite understand.
She was clearly fighting for her group's interests.
Why were they looking at her with such unfriendly eyes?
Fortunately, so people still cast friendly glances her way.
The woman's thinking was simple—having just arrived in an unfamiliar environnt, the quickest way to establish authority and gather a group was to represent so people's interests.
The food was quickly prepared.
The aroma of food filled the entire camp.
These survivors who had just escaped Deer City were so hungry their eyes glowed green.
In the past, they wouldn't have given plain congee with pickled vegetables a second glance.
But now, this bowl of plain congee with pickled vegetables was the most delicious delicacy in the world.
Even the original survivors in the convoy were swallowing hard.
After all, many people in the convoy were running low on supplies.
If they didn't find supply points soon, everyone would likely starve before long.
Chen Ye blew a smoke ring, feeling sowhat interested.
The real show was about to begin.
Sure enough, after the al.
All the n who had helped earlier received so paynt from the leader.
Though it was just a small piece of bread, it still made people envious.
The woman who had spoken earlier watched these n happily receiving their bread and was completely stunned.
"Smack!"
A slap echoed through the quiet night.
"You bitch! If it weren't for you, that bread would be mine! I haven't eaten all day, all because of you!"
A middle-aged woman with perd hair slapped the stunned woman hard across the face.
"Serves you right! If it weren't for this slut, Captain Chu wouldn't have given the opportunity to others! Beat her to death!"
Before the woman could react, another woman grabbed her by the hair.
"You... ah~~ I was doing this for your own good~~~"
"For our own good, you bitch..."
Chen Ye lay back in his vehicle, looking at the starry sky, the faint firelight illuminating his features.
A blood moon hung not far away, but Chen Ye didn't even feel like shifting his gaze toward it.
Chen Ye had finally figured it out.
Despite Chu Che's usual quiet deanor, he hadn't expected him to be this cunning.
Chu Che had probably noticed early on that so people in the convoy were running out of supplies.
So he gave these few a work opportunity.
He just didn't expect soone like this to suddenly jump out.
So Chu Che simply went with the flow, directly putting this troublemaker woman in her place.
It seed this leader wasn't a simple character either.
The woman's screams echoed right by his ears.
We're in the apocalypse, and so people still haven't adjusted their mindset.
They totally deserve this!
Chen Ye lay comfortably in the sidecar.
Sleeping in the sidecar was much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground.
The convoy continued forward.
According to Chu Che, they would reach Longevity Village in two more days.
This was a carefully selected resupply target by Chu Che.
After daybreak.
Chen Ye took out his portable gas stove, lit a small fla, took out mineral water and poured half a bottle into the pot.
He added a cup of rice, covered the lid, and waited for the rice to cook.
Using the machete he obtained from Nana, he sliced so cured at and threw it into the pot, added so oil, then tossed in so wild vegetables he'd gathered from the roadside a few days earlier.
Just like that, a dish of stir-fried wild vegetables with cured at slowly took shape in these conditions.
Chen Ye's cooking skills were quite ordinary, but having such als in this environnt was already quite remarkable.
The newly joined survivors looked toward Chen Ye's direction, frantically sniffing the air.
Their al today was still just plain congee with pickled vegetables.
Compared to Chen Ye's al, it was like heaven and earth.
Chen Ye couldn't be bothered with these people. When the food was almost ready, he poured the stir-fried wild vegetables with cured at directly into the rice and started eating.
Finally, soone couldn't resist anymore.
"Young man, could you share so of your food with my grandson? He hasn't eaten at in a long ti."
"He's just a child—malnutrition isn't good for his health!"
Chen Ye looked up to see an old woman holding a child's hand, looking at him pitifully.
And that child was already reaching out without any restraint.
Before Chen Ye could say anything, the child had already grabbed onto Chen Ye's rice bowl, trying hard to snatch it away.
Chen Ye's expression instantly darkened.
He'd encountered bratty kids before, but never one this obnoxious.
I haven't even agreed to give you any, and you're already grabbing for it.
The rice bowl remained motionless in Chen Ye's hand.
The old woman acted as if she didn't see anything, smiling ingratiatingly at Chen Ye.
"Give it to ~~"
"I want to eat!~~~"
The bratty child's shriek rang in Chen Ye's ears, making him frown in annoyance.
He never had much patience with children anyway.
Especially with this kind of spoiled brat—he was even more impatient.
Back when there were surveillance caras everywhere, Chen Ye had to hold back.
But now...
Chen Ye had many ways to make bratty children shut up!
