The hidden warning: Liu Dashuai had to die

After Wen Wan was stopped, someone draped clothes over her, while others even stood in front of her, afraid she would be exposed for everyone to see.

Lin Yi and Ji Qingcang could not be bothered with them. They turned around and resumed their patrol of the area.

Just then, the bespectacled man immediately crawled over and hastily grabbed Ji Qingcang's trouser leg.

He did not dare approach Lin Yi. After all, he knew how ruthless this white-haired man was.

"Please, let me join your convoy! I can tell you some secrets about Yellow Sands that Wen Wan and Liu Dashuai have been hiding from you!"

The man dropped to his knees and pleaded.

But as soon as he said that, Wen Wan and the others' expressions darkened.

Wen Wan could barely restrain her growing urge to kill him.

Lin Yi stopped, looked back at the man, and smiled. "Interesting. Tell me, what secrets have they been hiding?"

"Sandstorms!"

The man hurriedly looked up at Lin Yi. "A sandstorm blows through every morning, and Sandworms hide inside it. We usually stay in our rooms and seal the doors and windows to avoid them. Those of you outside will definitely die if you don't seal your vehicles properly."

Lin Yi's expression immediately turned grave.

It had been past noon when they arrived in Peace Town yesterday, which meant they had not experienced a sandstorm.

Liu Dashuai had clearly withheld this information on purpose. He wanted to watch them die in the sandstorm.

As for Wen Wan...

Lin Yi had shot her, so her decision to keep quiet was perfectly understandable.

"Old Ji, what do you think?" Lin Yi turned to Ji Qingcang.

Ji Qingcang considered it. "The information should be true. You can tell from their reactions. We'll tell Captain Liu and the others when we hand over the watch. Let's hold off on resting, too. Have everyone in the convoy close their windows and doors before they sleep."

"What about him?"

Lin Yi pointed at the man kneeling on the ground.

"Let him join. This information is important. He's essentially saved our lives. I'll tell Captain Liu in a bit."

Ji Qingcang knew how important this information was. If the bespectacled man had not brought it up, they would probably have been caught completely off guard tomorrow morning.

Lin Yi had no objections.

It was normal for a man to struggle to restrain himself when faced with a beautiful female celebrity.

Especially now that it was the end of the world. Laws were for the dead.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and smiled. "Explain the convoy's rules to him. Once we hand over the watch, I'll go find Liu Dashuai."

They had not planned to kill Liu Dashuai. After all, he had welcomed them. Even if he was using them, Lin Yi saw no problem with that. He would have done the same.

But now Liu Dashuai wanted to use a natural disaster to kill him, and that was where Liu Dashuai had crossed the line.

Lin Yi's bottom line was very low. All he wanted was to stay alive.

Anyone who refused to let him live deserved to die.

Liu Dashuai had already given him a reason to kill him.

Ji Qingcang knew Lin Yi was going off to kill again, but he did not particularly care. After all, wasn't committing crimes exactly what the [Criminal] Sequence called for?

Had Lin Yi killed any shortage of people along the way?

Not a single member of the Queen Convoy had survived. Every one of them had died to Lin Yi's Soul-Devouring Saw.

As one of his teammates, Ji Qingcang had understood Lin Yi's bottom line from the start. As long as no one threatened his life, Lin Yi was just an ordinary person.

It was precisely this bottom line that allowed Lin Yi to adapt to the Apocalypse faster than the rest of them.

"Don't kill too many. Just take out their leader."

Worried that Lin Yi might get carried away with the killing, Ji Qingcang could not help reminding him.

Lin Yi smiled and raised a hand in an "OK" gesture. "Same as always. As long as they don't provoke me, I definitely won't touch them."

With that, he glanced toward Wen Wan. That single look made her and the others' expressions turn utterly grim.

Ji Qingcang began explaining the convoy's situation to the man.

The Survival Rules Convoy did not have many rules, but anyone who joined had to follow them.

Self-reliance was the convoy's first rule.

The man's expression changed when he heard that. He had thought joining would let him enjoy an easy life, only to discover that he would have to fend for himself.

He already regretted his decision upon hearing that first rule.

But when he noticed the way the others were looking at him, he knew he had no other choice.

"Stick with the convoy, and you'll be able to survive."

Ji Qingcang patted the man's shoulder and smiled. "There's a sandstorm in the morning, so we'll probably eat breakfast very early. Help out with the others when the time comes."

"Okay."

The man hurriedly nodded in agreement.

They even had breakfast to eat. This convoy was wonderful. He had almost forgotten what breakfast tasted like.

When Liu Chuan and Wang Meng came to take over the watch, Ji Qingcang told them what had happened.

Sandworms hiding in the sandstorm were certainly not good news.

The two immediately woke everyone in the convoy and had them start preparing breakfast early so the convoy could get ready to leave as soon as possible.

Lin Yi was not idle either. Carrying the Soul-Devouring Saw, he swaggered into the bank next door.

Liu Dashuai was sleeping soundly with a woman in his arms, completely unaware of what had happened outside. In the next room, Wen Wan's first manager was staring wide-eyed at the person before her.

"Well, you've got quite a stockpile here. More rice and flour than I managed to get."

Lin Yi took a deep breath and surveyed the room.

It was essentially a small warehouse, piled with rice and flour, as well as other food.

The people outside were starving to death, yet this mayor was rolling in wealth. What a fine mayor Peace Town had.

The woman quickly calmed down. Sitting at the edge of the bed, she picked up a cigarette pack and lit one. "Your convoy wants this food? Just kill Liu Dashuai. You can do it single-handedly, after all."

"Hm? You want to use me to kill Liu Dashuai?"

Lin Yi immediately understood what she was getting at.

She wanted someone else to do her dirty work!

"I've wanted him dead for ages. Having that fat pig on top of me is no pleasure."

Smoking, the woman explained, "I had no choice but to turn to him to survive. He had the most food, after all. But I also knew I couldn't kill him. Some of his men live in his room too. They're always having group parties, without even worrying about catching anything..."

"You've got things figured out! No wonder you're living so comfortably. You even have makeup."

Lin Yi could not help praising her.

The woman smiled and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. "My ass is still untouched. Help me kill that fat pig, and I'll give you my first time there. Think of it as a deal. I don't have any other bargaining chips left..."
