Chen Shou walked to the pile of supplies, and Old Zhao, Lin Wei, and Su Ye followed.

"Distribute according to the agreed proportions."

Without wasting any words, Chen Shou directly instructed the men to continue working.

Old Liu and Zhao De stepped forward again.

The two were very experienced; they had done this job many times before.

They first set aside about one-tenth of the total:

Two boxes of canned goods, four bags of rice and flour, four boxes of water, seven barrels of gasoline, and a large pile of various biscuits and snacks.

Add some medical supplies and tools, and pile them separately on one side of the open space.

This is Su Ye's "one-tenth".

Even if it's only one-tenth of the total, it's still quite a considerable amount when piled up there.

Chen Shou took out a 20-liter can of gasoline from the pile of supplies, put it aside, and then looked at Lao Liu.

Old Liu understood, took out the bread car keys from his pocket, walked up to Su Ye and handed them over.

Su Ye took the key, the cool touch of the metal coming from her palm.

"The rest,"

Chen Shou gestured for Lao Liu and Zhao De to continue.

"According to four, three, three."

The two of them divided the remaining 90% of the supplies into three piles.

Four piles of supplies were laid out in the open space, each enough to sustain several people for several months.

Chen Shou addressed the core members present:

"Pick out some supplies and load them onto the vehicle!"

The rest, some things we don't need, we'll have a few more people move onto the cargo truck later.

"You guys can switch them out privately, is that alright?"

As Chen Shou finished speaking, Old Zhao, Lin Wei, and Su Ye each walked towards their respective piles of supplies.

Meanwhile, the gazes of the survivors gathered around them grew even more intense.

Although this time they entered Qintang Village with the convoy and obtained several times more supplies than usual,

But at this moment, compared to the four "small hills" on the open ground, even compared to Su Ye's "smallest" hill, they all seemed meager and pitiful.

The seven 20-liter cans of gasoline that Su Ye had in his pile alone were enough to make most people green with envy.

In the caravan, gasoline was a hard currency. A 20-liter barrel of gasoline could be exchanged for at least 20 kilograms of grain from Chen Shou, and it was often in short supply.

Su Ye alone occupied seven buckets. Even if one bucket was deducted for changing vehicles, there would still be six buckets left.

What does this mean?

This means he possesses astonishing endurance and trading capital.

Li Xiaowei and Li Xiaoyue stood at the back of the crowd, watching Su Ye and the others talk.

Li Xiaoyue watched as Su Ye took the car keys, then looked at the pile of supplies. Her lips turned white, and her voice trembled with tears.

"sister……

He has a car now, and so much stuff...

us……

What else do we have that would appeal to him?

Li Xiaowei's face was somewhat pale in the dim light, but the unreadable look in her eyes was even more intense.

She stared at Su Ye's unremarkable bread cart and whispered:

What's the rush?

Acquiring supplies so quickly is his skill.

However, this also means that he has become even more envied.

Especially when encountering battles or searching for supplies,

He needs to find someone to watch his car, guard his belongings, and handle miscellaneous tasks.

She took a deep breath, becoming even more certain.

"Our conditions have not worsened, but rather become clearer: we are going to seek refuge with him, to become a 'part' he needs."

Driving, tidying up, keeping watch, and even...

We can do all of these.

As long as he feels it's "useful," there's a chance.

Not far away, Luo Yan leaned against the door of her old car, her bright red lips standing out in the firelight.

Her greedy gaze was almost glued to Su Ye's pile of supplies and his body, her chest heaving slightly with excitement.

"I knew I wasn't wrong, Awakened Ones are truly different..."

She murmured to herself, her fingers unconsciously stirring the large waves in her hair.

"This is only the first battle, and we've already gotten so many good loot..."

If I could get my hands on him, wouldn't all of these be mine?

Why did that chilling little girl and that withered old man get so many...?

If I were here, there would definitely be more than this!

Then, recalling Su Ye's cold and terrifying aura, she couldn't help but shiver, but her desire for supplies quickly overwhelmed her.

"What are you afraid of?"

Men...

"When I find my chance, I refuse to believe I can't take down this brat."

The other survivors were also whispering and discussing among themselves.

"See that? There are six or seven barrels of gasoline in Su Ye's pile!"

"It's not just gasoline, that canned food, that rice and noodles... goodness, how long would that last for one person?"

"They are awakened individuals, risking their lives, so they deserve this."

"That's true... but this is too much, and that bread truck looks pretty sturdy."

"What can you do? It's your own fault for not awakening yet! If you're so capable, awaken yourself and fight the monsters yourself!"

"Tsk, comparisons are odious. But at least with Captain Chen and his crew, we get some safety, and we even managed to get something this time..."

Amidst the discussions, a mix of emotions—envy, jealousy, awe, resignation—was palpable.

Chen Shou watched as Lao Liu, Zhao De, and Lin Shuixian loaded their belongings into their respective vehicles, and then spoke to Lao Zhao and Lin Wei, who had returned to his side:

"This time we really hit the jackpot!"

"Su Ye's strange abilities are truly remarkable; he managed to attract all the strange bees, preventing a single one from scattering and harassing the convoy."

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one with relish, and then spoke again.

"According to you, the main body of this strange beehive isn't particularly strong; it's just that the mental damage from its poisonous stingers is too powerful."

As long as the poisonous stings can be avoided, the eerie beehive itself poses no threat to the awakened one.

Especially for warriors like Old Zhao, who have high attack, strong defense, decent agility, and fast health regeneration.

Fortunately, Su Ye attracted all the strange bees away; otherwise, according to you, there were one or two thousand of them.

Old Zhao, you're going to get eaten. After all, even ants can kill an elephant if they keep up with the speed at which those strange bees bite.

Old Zhao nodded in agreement, saying:

"Yes, I don't know what kind of ability this kid used, but he managed to draw all the strange hatred onto him."

You wouldn't believe it if you weren't there! Good heavens, he was completely surrounded by swarms of eerie bees; you couldn't see him at all!

Even that eerie beehive was watching Night Boy, but it was precisely because of this situation that I was able to hold out for so long.

Otherwise, although that strange beehive's strength isn't manifested in its physical form, it's still a peak-level first-tier strange entity. Aside from being a bit slower, it's not much weaker than me!

Old Zhao's words silenced the scene for a few seconds, leaving only the faint sound of Chen Shou smoking.

A small ice flower unconsciously formed on Lin Wei's fingertips, then quietly melted away. Her clear, cold voice broke the silence:

"His aura..."

After the battle, it became even more intense.

She didn't explain it very clearly, but everyone present understood.

That eerie, chilling feeling was even stronger emanating from Su Ye.

"Yes, I can feel it."

Chen Shou exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes appearing somewhat profound behind the smoke.

"The ability to grow rapidly will likely come at a high price."

But for now, this is a good thing.

We're short-handed, so having someone who can fight on the front lines is a good thing!

He flicked off his cigarette ash and looked at Old Zhao:

"How is your injury?"
