He hadn't expected humans to have anything this interesting.
Xiao Chusheng smiled for once.
He had no idea he was already a fish on the chopping block.
The contribution finally reached seventy.
It ended with Third begging for mercy.
No matter what Lin Yi said, Third would rather die than play.
Even when offered supplies, Third looked ready to lose his head and shed his blood rather than give in.
Third was genuinely afraid that Lin Yi would infuriate him to death before the supernatural horrors could kill him.
"Ah, I almost maxed it out."
Feeling a little regretful, Lin Yi was about to call Huang Nana over to make up the numbers, only to discover that both women had disappeared somewhere.
With no other choice, he could only head back in disappointment.
As soon as Lin Yi left, Xiao Chusheng picked up the cards, barely able to wait.
"Third, let's play Landlord!"
Third, who had been leaving, stopped in his tracks, a smile appearing on his face.
Hmph, without that lousy player Lin Yi around, you dare take me on?
Lin Yi hadn't gone far when a commotion arose nearby.
Immediately afterward, a whole crowd surged over and blocked his path.
At a rough estimate, there were about twenty people.
The situation also drew plenty of attention.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yi frowned. Were they here to cause trouble?
His brow soon relaxed again. His Sequence ability couldn't be used in combat, but his physical capabilities were still beyond anything these survivors could match.
"Need something?"
Lin Yi spoke coolly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a figure quietly slipping out of sight. It was Huang Nana.
"Handsome, do you have a lot of food?"
"Yeah, we often see you giving people food."
"You must be a really good person, right?"
"Could you give me some food? I haven't eaten in ages!"
The crowd surged around him.
Lin Yi instantly understood what was going on.
So Huang Nana found people to get on my nerves, huh?
Rather than getting angry at the crowd surrounding him, Lin Yi smiled.
Since you're all rushing over to be backups, don't blame me.
"Of course. I'm a great philanthropist, after all."
"If you want food, follow me."
Smiling, Lin Yi walked toward his SUV.
The twenty-odd people exchanged glances. The scene of Liu Ruyan being beaten was still vivid in their minds.
But they gritted their teeth and followed anyway.
They weren't causing trouble. What right did a Sequence Transcendent have to beat them up?
With that thought, the twenty people surged after Lin Yi.
"What are you all doing?"
The burly man guarding the entrance spoke in confusion.
"He... he said he'd give us food."
A survivor spoke timidly.
"Hm?"
The burly man also looked at Lin Yi in confusion.
Everyone knew they were about to enter the grasslands, and food had become considerably more precious than before.
Had Lin Yi gone stupid? He was still giving his food away?
Lin Yi smiled and waved. "It's fine. I'll bring the car out. Wait for me."
With that, under the burly man's puzzled gaze, he really did drive the SUV out. Without concealing anything, he opened the trunk and handed out piles upon piles of supplies.
The survivors who had originally been watching the spectacle stared wide-eyed at the sight.
Quite a few people hurried over, hoping to get a share of the supplies.
The survivors were like elderly shoppers scrambling for eggs. In almost no time, every last supply in the SUV had been looted.
"Hmm..."
"This car of yours is pretty nice too."
An old woman who was among the last to collect supplies looked the jeep up and down.
"Sorry, ma'am, but I still need the car to collect supplies tomorrow." A smile curved Lin Yi's lips.
"Hmph, keep it for your coffin, then."
The old woman snorted, turned, and left with bags large and small in her arms.
Above her head, a conspicuous gray fifty stood out!
She had also grabbed the most supplies.
Watching the gray contribution numbers constantly flashing above the crowd's heads, Lin Yi smiled. "Those things aren't so easy to take, you know."
"Buddy, I know you're a good person, but with the way things are now, don't be so kindhearted." The burly man stepped forward and patted Lin Yi's shoulder, a touch of pity in his voice.
"It's all right."
Leaving him with a smile, Lin Yi drove straight back.
The interior of the heavy truck had been fitted out like an RV.
Most of the compartment was occupied by triple-tier bunks.
Behind the cab was a separate bed, with a partition door behind it that effectively separated the front from the rear.
Elder Qi was lying on the bed, reading a book.
The cab door opened, and the burly man from earlier climbed into the driver's seat and told Elder Qi what had just happened.
Hearing this, Elder Qi sighed deeply. "Just how far can my convoy make it...?"
After speaking, Elder Qi took his walking stick and stood it upright on the bed.
Then he gently let it fall, pointing in one direction.
"So the grasslands really are the only way to survive?"
Elder Qi rubbed his temples. In truth, there was something he had kept from everyone.
His Guide ability had told him that all four routes led to death!
They were already in a certain-death situation.
And the walking stick in his hand was also an Anomaly, capable of identifying a safe direction.
Yes, relatively safe-safe compared with the other directions!
The night passed quickly.
The next day's sun rose as usual.
"We leave in one minute. Please get ready."
Elder Qi's voice carried through the loudspeaker.
The roar of engines rose without cease.
The apocalyptic convoy set off once again.
Watching the contribution points following behind him, Lin Yi never stopped smiling.
Huang Nana really did give me a wonderful gift.
With this bunch of scapegoats around, my chances of surviving today will be much better.
The convoy behind him was his reserve granary, so naturally, he didn't mind giving the food away.
The emptied SUV could now hold plenty more supplies.
"Hmm?"
As Lin Yi's mind wandered, a warmth came from his pocket.
Somewhat puzzled, he reached into it.
The screw he had nearly forgotten about was actually a little warm now.
"Strange?"
Lin Yi examined it closely. The screw clearly wasn't an Anomaly.
"I don't get it. I really don't get it."
He tucked the screw into his pocket. That little bit of warmth had no effect.
Fallen trees lay everywhere on both sides of the road, as though they were the only living people left in the world...
