The list

Lin Yu watched Yellow Hair walk away, a smile tugging at his lips.

Yellow Hair had always been like this-arrogant and overbearing toward outsiders, a law unto himself.

Whenever he had nothing better to do, he liked to bully the weak, steal a few things, and show off.

But once he accepted you as a friend, he would never let you lose out.

Looking at the drum of gasoline by his feet, Lin Yu couldn't help marveling. He had never expected that piece of cream bread to be repaid this way.

He had made a killing. A 140-liter drum of gasoline was worth far more than a piece of cream bread.

As the third [Choice] ended, the screen of light in the air gradually faded away.

Although the screen had offered only three [Choices], the squad as a whole had gained a great deal!

The burgers had let everyone in the squad gorge themselves without restraint, a rare opportunity in the apocalypse.

After eating those burgers, they wouldn't starve to death even if they went a week without food.

The gasoline had also provided the squad with vital supplies.

An absolute windfall!

By the time they finished sorting out the gasoline, the sun had fully set, leaving everything dark. Shen Sui found Lin Yu and said:

"I'm planning to have the squad camp here. Do you think that's all right?"

Shen Sui now had great faith in Lin Yu as a [Pathfinder], so naturally, he consulted him about matters like this.

"Let me take a look."

Lin Yu answered and immediately activated [Clear Path Ahead]. The world before his eyes instantly became a world of threads, countless black strands interwoven with faint green ones, filling his entire view.

As far as he could see...

There seemed to be nothing but danger in every direction.

Lin Yu frowned slightly, then immediately realized it might be because night was approaching.

Many dangers that never appeared during the day would emerge with it.

That was why black threads filled their surroundings.

Just as he had thought...

They couldn't travel at night!

Among those black threads, Lin Yu soon found one drawing closer to their position.

This usually meant that something unusual had set its sights on them.

That was normal, and it was also why survivors in the apocalypse had to keep moving.

At its current speed, it would take at least twelve hours to reach them.

As for the other black threads, they were either farther away or simply stationary.

So...

They were safe!

After confirming that they could camp here, Lin Yu nodded and said:

"Let's rest here. We'll set off again in ten hours."

Lin Yu had left an extra two hours as a safety buffer.

Shen Sui adjusted his glasses, a hint of ease in his eyes.

"All right."

Shen Sui felt utterly relieved. In the past, he had to make these decisions alone. Since he wasn't in the Pathfinder sequence, he couldn't see danger and could only use the compass in his hand to check for it from time to time.

The price was that he could never sleep peacefully at night.

At regular intervals, he had to get up and check whether there was any danger nearby.

Only that way could he ensure he wouldn't die in the dead of night.

Now...

With someone from a support sequence like Lin Yu around, he was finally free of that burden.

Once Shen Sui gave the order.

The entire squad immediately got to work. Everyone began preparing to rest, some pitching tents and others building a campfire. At night, a campfire was also indispensable.

Once darkness engulfed them.

No one knew what might creep up on them.

All these lessons had been learned at the cost of countless survivors' lives.

Before long.

The campfire was burning, and everyone gathered around it to chat through the evening.

After a full day of tension, they finally seemed able to relax.

For many people, conversation and socializing were ways to unwind.

They talked about Huangyang Village, the Road Bandits, and then the burgers.

For a while, laughter filled the air.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten that they were living through the apocalypse.

Some, however, stayed by themselves, staring blankly into space.

That was the difference between people with different personalities.

Some needed to socialize to recharge.

Others needed solitude.

Lin Yu lay alone in his pickup, quietly gazing at the night sky and counting the stars one by one, while inwardly reviewing everything that had happened to him over the past few days.

He had suddenly gained the Analysis ability and even become a Transcendent.

It truly felt like a dream.

Just then.

A hand appeared beside the pickup and knocked on the window.

Knock, knock, knock.

Lin Yu looked through the window and saw Su Man standing beside his vehicle. She wore a long black lace dress, her features alluring. Against the backdrop of the night, she looked exceptionally beautiful.

Lin Yu rolled down the window and asked:

"Need something?"

Su Man nodded, took a slip of paper from her clothing, and passed it through the window to Lin Yu.

"Please take a look, Mr. Lin. This is the list I compiled."

Puzzled, Lin Yu took the slip. Three names were written on it, each followed by some relevant information. For example... all three had participated in the vehicle [Choice] and lost their left hands.

Almost instantly, Lin Yu understood.

These three must have been the survivors who had secretly discussed harming him to curry favor with Zhai Guang.

But before they could act, he had become a Transcendent.

Naturally, their plan had been shelved. They could no longer carry it out.

Lin Yu's gaze darkened as he silently committed the three names to memory. Although they hadn't carried out their plan, that didn't mean he had no need to remember their names.

"Good work."

Lin Yu casually took a piece of bread from the passenger seat and offered it to Su Man.

Su Man didn't dare accept it. She hurriedly shook her head and said:

"No, Mr. Lin. This was what I ought to do. I wasn't looking for a reward."

Lin Yu's gaze remained calm, but his voice carried a firmness that brooked no refusal.

"Take it."

Seeing this, Su Man naturally dared not decline again. She immediately accepted the bread and bowed solemnly to Lin Yu.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yu waved her away, closed the window, and calmly shut his eyes.

This woman, Su Man...

She's smart, and useful.

But hopefully, she'll always know how to behave.

When Su Man returned with the bread, strange looks immediately appeared in many survivors' eyes. They stole glances at her, then occasionally looked toward Lin Yu's Armored Pickup, wondering whether Lin Yu and Su Man had made some sort of illicit exchange...

But.

They didn't even dare gossip about it. They could only indulge their sordid fantasies in their heads.

After all, neither Lin Yu nor Su Man was someone they could afford to offend.

The moment midnight arrived.

Lin Yu gained another three uses of Analysis, bringing his total to four.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yu took out the sheet of human skin.

It was a transcendent substance dropped by the Resentful Corpse.

Different transcendent substances had different uses, which usually required a long period of experimentation and research to discover. That was why no one had objected when Shen Sui said he would give this sheet of human skin to Lin Yu.

Even if this transcendent substance was extremely useful, they currently had no idea how to use it.

They might as well give it to Lin Yu so that he would forfeit his share of the Gene Enhancement Fluid.

But with Analysis, Lin Yu didn't have to go through all that trouble.

Want to know what this thing does? Isn't that simple?

One use of Analysis, and I'll know.
