He Fired, but His Aim Was Terrible!

The members of the Survival Rules Convoy were all watching Wen Wan. From the look of things, she and Liu Dashuai did not get along.

Here in Peace Town, the two seemed to be competing with each other, each keeping their guard up against the other.

As for why Wen Wan could pressure Liu Dashuai even though he had a gun, Lin Yi and the others could more or less guess.

Even a cornered rabbit would bite, let alone a human.

Wen Wan's people had probably been targeted before, too. But Liu Dashuai likely had only that one gun, and not many bullets.

Liu Dashuai could get away with threatening people while conserving his ammunition, but the day he ran out of bullets would be the day his time was up.

Wen Wan had seen other convoys pass through Peace Town.

But those convoys had been nothing more than small groups banding together. Some could not even scrape together ten vehicles.

But this convoy?

None of the vehicles at the front were cheap. Five vehicles followed closely behind them, and another fifty or sixty trailed farther back.

This was clearly a large convoy, at least far stronger than any of those that had come to Peace Town before.

A convoy this large surely would not be short on supplies.

At that thought, Wen Wan's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "They can stay here, but they have to hand over some supplies!"

Liu Dashuai's mouth twitched at her words.

Have you really gone mad with hunger?

Can't you see I'm already putting on a smile for them? And you actually dare demand supplies?

We're lucky they haven't looted us.

Before Liu Dashuai could speak, Wen Wan's gaze settled on Lin Yi.

After all, with his white hair and sickly air, Lin Yi looked nothing like the rest of the convoy.

Even those two women looked stronger than this white-haired guy.

She knew Sequence Transcendents could deal with Aberrations, but they had to pay a price. This sickly white-haired man had probably paid just such a price.

Naturally white hair was very different from dyed hair. Having spent so many years in the entertainment industry, Wen Wan understood these things.

"You! You're the convoy's leader, aren't you? Have your people hand over some of your supplies."

Wen Wan pointed her fire axe at Lin Yi. "We occupied the hospital first. You understand first come, first served, right? You're welcome to rest here, as long as you give us some supplies."

Seeing this woman go straight for Lin Yi, everyone in the convoy could not help admiring her nerve.

Impressive.

Out of all the people in the convoy, you just had to pick the hardest one to deal with.

Even Lin Yi froze. He pointed at himself and asked, "You mean me? You're asking me for supplies?"

"You're a Sequence Transcendent, aren't you? I can tell you're different from them."

Wen Wan spoke as though it were only natural. "Since you can lead so many people, you must belong to that Sequence that can sense Aberrations, right? I've met people like you before. We're all human, and besides, this is my territory. If you want to rest here, naturally you have to follow my rules..."

Before Wen Wan could finish, Lin Yi was already laughing.

Had this woman spent so long in the entertainment industry that she'd forgotten she still had an ordinary human body?

The next instant, Lin Yi drew the gun from behind his waist and pulled the trigger, aiming at Wen Wan.

Bang!

A sharp gunshot rang out.

The bullet shot from the muzzle and struck Wen Wan in the shoulder blade.

The stabbing, burning pain sent Wen Wan collapsing to the ground with a scream. The people behind her were frightened by the gunshot, too, and none dared step forward.

Liu Chuan turned to Lin Yi in surprise. "Lin, is your aim really that bad?"

"Come on, then. You try taking a shot."

Lin Yi's face darkened. "Before the apocalypse, I was just a corporate drone. Forget firing a gun-this is my first time even handling one. Could you hit the bull's-eye on your first try?"

Well...

That was fair, but everyone had grown so used to Lin Yi's abilities that they had simply assumed he could land a headshot with one bullet.

Now it seemed Lin Yi was no different from the rest of them.

He had merely adapted to the apocalypse a little faster.

Looking at Wen Wan screaming on the ground with one hand pressed over her bloodied shoulder, Liu Chuan stepped forward with a smile. "Well... I'm actually the leader of the Survival Rules Convoy. As for the man you threatened, you were pretty unlucky. You managed to pick the one person in our convoy you absolutely shouldn't mess with."

Despair filled Wen Wan's eyes when she heard that.

She had never imagined that man would have a gun, let alone fire it in front of everyone.

Lin Yi tucked the gun back behind his waist and called out to the people inside the hospital, "We'll stay out of each other's way. We're leaving after a day's rest, so don't bother us."

With that, he turned and walked back toward his BMW X7.

He did not spare Wen Wan another glance as she lay on the ground.

The star was indeed beautiful, but in Lin Yi's eyes, a woman's beauty was a sin in the apocalypse, especially when she lacked the strength to protect herself.

Lin Yi had no idea how Wen Wan had survived this long, but he would not give a brainless woman like her a second look.

After all, stupidity was contagious.

Once Lin Yi returned to his vehicle to rest, Liu Chuan had everyone park inside the hospital grounds. Any vehicles that could not fit were parked outside.

Those who needed rest rested, and those who needed food and drink ate and drank.

Peace Town was anything but peaceful. They still needed to keep heading toward the North.

The Survival Rules Convoy prepared another communal meal. They still had enough shared ingredients left for two or three more meals.

Ji Qingcang was now in charge of logistics. He stood beside the rain shelter, staring hard at the people who could not stop swallowing their saliva.

It was no longer raining, but the rain shelter still provided shade.

They would have to hold on to it.

Meanwhile, Liu Chuan explained Sequence advancement, Anomalous Object numbers, and other information to Wang Meng, Shen Qingqing, and Shen Chuchu.

Watching the women cook beneath the rain shelter, the people in the hospital could barely contain themselves. They made no attempt to hide their hungry swallowing.

When the aroma of meat finally spread through the air, it completely broke the people sheltering in the hospital.

They were not the only ones. Many people outside caught the scent as well, crowding along the hospital's perimeter and peering in.

But the food was only for members of the Survival Rules Convoy. Even those who had followed them from the Hope Convoy were not entitled to a share.

Some people tried to approach and beg for food, but Ji Qingcang drove them away.

"Stay back, or I'll treat you as enemies!"

Ji Qingcang transformed into a large white bear and said coldly, "If you want to test the strength of a bear's paw, come closer and keep begging."

Faced with that threat, everyone who had approached to beg immediately abandoned the idea.

They all knew the Survival Rules Convoy was not to be trifled with, especially that white-haired man. He struck without hesitation and did not care whether you were a man or a woman...
