Ghost Cash in the Wild

"Huh?" The blond instinctively caught the Leibi bottle and froze for a moment. As he realized what had happened, his expression gradually darkened. "Motherfucker, are you calling me a scrap collector?! Get back here!"

"Damn you, Lin Qi! We don't want your unwanted trash either!" Seeing the blond cursing, Huang Li hurriedly chimed in, grabbing the Leibi bottle and throwing it forward.

The blond shot Huang Li a vicious glare. "Are you a fucking idiot? He was calling you trash!"

Lin Qi glanced at the furious blond in the rearview mirror. Ever since his parents died, his temperament had been steadily tempered. By now, he could completely ignore pointless trash talk.

Rather than waste time on them, he would be better off thinking about where to get today's eight hundred in Ghost Cash.

The convoy moved forward very slowly.

Bored, Lin Qi turned on the radio.

There was still no signal on the radio during the day.

The convoy continued stopping and starting like this until the afternoon, when its slow advance gradually ground to a halt.

They were still on the highway, with wild grass stretching beyond sight on both sides.

The convoy had not stopped because they had found a new supply point, nor because there was any danger. The captain was simply being considerate toward the survivors on foot.

By this point, the survivors on foot had basically reached their limits. Without a rest, who knew how many would die of exhaustion.

It had to be said that the captain of Lin Qi's convoy still had a little humanity in him.

Lin Qi parked beside the road. While traveling at noon, he had only hurriedly eaten some instant noodles to fill his stomach.

"Survivors, there is no danger nearby for now. We will stay here for a day. Everyone, rest where you are. Survivors who need to exchange for supplies, please come see me at heavy truck number four."

Liu Yan's voice echoed through the loudspeaker on the heavy truck's roof. As her voice faded, soft music once again filled the air around the convoy.

Survivors in the apocalypse had long since stopped caring about cleanliness and hygiene.

Most of the survivors on foot sat down right where they were to recover their strength as quickly as possible.

The day Liu Yan mentioned only applied if nothing went wrong. Once night fell, if anything supernatural approached, the convoy would depart immediately. The survivors had to treasure every chance to rest and recover their strength.

Lin Qi began searching the surrounding wild grass for bricks to build a cooking hearth.

He had just returned with some bricks when he paused on his way to the trunk, his gaze drawn to the off-road vehicle at the very front.

A handsome young man stood on the roof of the off-road vehicle. Wearing large floral shorts and a floral shirt, he exuded youthful energy.

At that moment, the young man stood on the roof, gazing into the distant depths of the wild grass, his brows tightly knitted. There was no telling what he was pondering.

Lin Qi had seen the young man before. He was the most important Extraordinary in their convoy of over a hundred people-the Captain Sequence!

"Is there trouble?"

Lin Qi also looked into the depths of the wild grass. Everything was calm there. At a glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong at all.

But the captain's serious expression dampened his desire to eat somewhat.

He put the bricks back in the trunk, then sat in the driver's seat and watched the captain.

The captain seemed to be considering something. After a long while, his tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed. He jumped off the roof and walked toward the Giant Bear Extraordinary's vehicle.

The two seemed to discuss something, and the Giant Bear Extraordinary actually left his vehicle and sprinted alone into the depths of the wild grass.

"What exactly happened...?"

Watching the Giant Bear Extraordinary's retreating figure, Lin Qi was filled with curiosity.

Soon, his curiosity was drowned out by the loudspeaker sounding again.

"Hello, hello, hello. You can hear me, right? I'm the convoy captain. I have an announcement."

The voice coming from the loudspeaker was not Liu Yan's, but a rather steady male voice.

As the captain's voice rang out, the survivors busy with their own affairs all turned their attention to him.

Since they had joined the convoy, this was the first time the captain had addressed the survivors.

"Everyone, I've sensed that Ghost Cash is forming in the surrounding wild grass!"

"As you all know, you can exchange Ghost Cash with us for supplies."

"A warning in advance: the grass isn't necessarily safe during the day either. You can go in and look for Ghost Cash, but you must put your lives first. I don't want anyone in my convoy dying over something like this!"

The captain finished speaking.

The convoy's survivors instantly erupted into an uproar.

Everyone knew the value of Ghost Cash.

In the past, Ghost Cash had always been found in the incredibly dangerous darkness.

Now, Ghost Cash was actually forming in the wild grass!

The survivors paid no attention whatsoever to the captain's warning. At least nearly half of them swarmed into the surrounding grass!

What danger could there be in wild grass during the day!

However dangerous it was, could it be more dangerous than gathering supplies?!

Exchanging Ghost Cash for supplies-what could be easier than that!

In the blink of an eye, the number of resting survivors dropped by half. Even quite a few of the survivors on foot gritted their teeth and headed into the surrounding wild grass.

Lin Qi sat inside his off-road vehicle. He did not join the survivors gathering Ghost Cash.

The captain's warning was not without reason.

Under the Blood Moon, not only had supernatural horrors awakened, but plants and animals were also mutating. No one knew what might be hiding in the grass.

Unlike supernatural horrors, mutated animals could appear during the day!

Even while fleeing, the convoy generally avoided taking shortcuts through the wild grass.

Lin Qi did not immediately head into the grass to look for Ghost Cash.

He wanted to watch and see whether the Ghost Cash in the grass was worth the risk.

Although he had the Fine Ability, it still had limitations. Today, for example, he had not gone out to search for supplies. To avoid exposing himself, he naturally could not use his ability within the convoy.

The remaining survivors who had not gone out to search for supplies mostly shared his thinking: watch first and see whether the value of the Ghost Cash was enough to justify the risk!

Lin Qi lit a cigarette and silently watched the surrounding wild grass.

Five minutes later, a cry rang out from the grass. A survivor excitedly held up a hundred-denomination Ghost Cash note. "I found one! I found one! Hahaha!!!"

Seeing that a survivor had really found Ghost Cash, those who had already been itching to act finally could no longer resist the temptation and prepared to head into the grass!

But just then, a scream suddenly rang out from the wild grass. "Help-Captain, save me!!!"
