Chen Ye saw a man and a woman walking over from a distance, both with dark expressions on their faces.

To be precise, it was the man who had a dark face, while the woman's expression was somewhat… somewhat indescribably distracted and anxious.

The man also had a scent of engine oil on his face and body.

He was even wearing a white one-piece jumpsuit similar to a mechanic's uniform.

However, this white uniform was already quite tattered and stained with oil in many places.

Moreover, his face was covered in a thick beard.

But if you looked carefully into this man's eyes, you'd find that when facing strangers, his gaze was slightly evasive.

His eyes were very clear, with no fine wrinkles around them.

There were just dark circles under his eyes.

Chen Ye guessed that this man just looked older than he was, probably actually around twenty years old or so.

Maybe not even twenty.

Dantai Bie called him 'uncle,' but if you really compared, who was older and who was younger wasn't certain.

The woman beside him was very thin, about 1.6 meters tall, with short hair and a thin face.

She looked like a very quiet woman.

The two didn't seem to be in a romantic relationship; you could tell from their standing positions, with about fifty centimeters between them.

Even this somewhat socially anxious man was standing slightly behind the woman.

Clearly, in their usual interactions, the woman seemed to hold a slightly higher position than the man.

The two stood right in front of Chen Ye. The woman didn't speak, just stared blankly into the darkness.

The man looked at the woman, then wore an expression of being forced into action as he proactively introduced himself.

"Y-you… Hello, I'm Gong Yong! Mechanic Sequence."

The smile on the man's face was rather shy.

He looked like an engineering geek.

And he also seemed like someone without much guile, immediately revealing his sequence name as soon as he opened his mouth.

Despite having a full beard that made him look fierce, he gave himself away the moment he spoke.

You know, at the very beginning, people would still announce their sequence names when introducing themselves.

But after leaving Oasis, Chen Ye and the others had already broken this bad habit when introducing themselves.

Perhaps when facing Chen Ye, who looked like someone not easy to deal with, Gong Yong's smile hid some unease.

It seemed he was afraid Chen Ye might accidentally just swallow him whole.

Despite having the character for "brave" in his name.

But his demeanor and behavior had nothing to do with "bravery."

"Chen Ye!"

Chen Ye did not announce his sequence name.

After all, the "Blood Moon Lord" sequence, which was connected to the blood moon, wasn't seen as a proper sequence by many people.

Chen Ye also revealed a smile that looked cruel but was actually quite warm.

There was no helping it; the Blood Eye always gave people negative feelings.

Chen Ye was already trying very hard to hide his edge.

The smile on Gong Yong's face stiffened slightly, the already forced smile at the corners of his mouth appearing even more anxious.

Chen Ye even worried this guy might turn and run the next second.

However.

Mechanic Sequence?

Perfect, the convoy was currently lacking a Mechanic Sequence.

He had previously tricked Chu Che and the others, saying he was a "Mechanic" sequence, but that was just a lie.

He never expected a real Mechanic Sequence to appear now.

"Hello, Huang Lu!"

The woman beside them seemed to snap back to reality, revealing a very forced smile on her face.

This smile was mostly out of politeness; the distraction and anxiety hidden in her eyes couldn't be concealed.

Clearly, the woman wasn't very interested in the current social situation.

However, she also didn't announce her sequence name.

"Xu Lina!"

Xu Lina, standing behind Chen Ye, also briefly introduced herself.

She was even simpler, just stating a name.

This way, although everyone was somewhat wary of each other, they had a basic understanding.

According to the other party's account.

They had also come to this Sea of Trees following the pathfinder in their convoy.

The situation they encountered was pretty much the same as what Chen Ye and the others faced.

As for Dantai Bie, he was from another group.

He and Huang Lu and Gong Yong were not from the same convoy.

According to his own account, he was previously a lone wolf.

He also sensed danger and came here.

"You're also a pathfinder?"

Chen Ye looked Dantai Bie up and down.

This guy's looks could only be considered above average, definitely less manly than himself.

Because, this guy was just way too clean.

Even when talking with Chen Ye and the others, he would choose a clean spot to stand.

Dantai Bie shook his head: "Wandering Immortal Sequence! Hehe… One-eyed Guy, I know what you're thinking!"

"Doesn't matter telling you, our Wandering Immortal Sequence emphasizes following one's heart, being free from attachments, and having clear thoughts!"

"My Little Silver has the ability to sense anomalies!"

"This ability is similar to a pathfinder's, although not very strong, it's enough to get by, so that's the reason I survived!"

"Little Silver is Qi-activated, 'Qi'—do you know what that is? It's a type of energy!"

"The Wandering Immortal Sequence refines Qi!"

"Well, simply put, only I can operate Little Silver!"

"…"

Blah blah blah…

Although Dantai Bie called Chen Ye "One-eyed Guy."

There wasn't a trace of disdain or other negative emotions in his eyes.

This guy just had no filter.

Or maybe his intestines were straight.

Probably this was a side effect of the Wandering Immortal Sequence—saying whatever came to mind.

Some people really liked this personality, finding him easy to deal with and very honest.

For example, just minutes after meeting, this guy not only told his sequence but also blurted out that he had a Wonder.

He even said what the Wonder did.

Some people really disliked it.

That couldn't be helped, after all, no one could make everyone like them.

Although this guy in front of him called him "One-eyed Guy," Chen Ye wasn't really angry.

He even thought this guy was pretty decent.

Weren't there plenty in the convoy who privately called him "One-eyed Guy"?

While Dantai Bie was talking.

The off-road sports car that had been parked nearby earlier slowly drove over.

The reason it's called an off-road sports car.

Was mainly because this car's body had a sports car shape.

But the chassis was high, and the tires weren't the usual racing type, but rather off-road vehicle tires.

It was a very flashy yet somewhat strange design.

Clearly, this car was probably also a Wonder.

This car, like Dantai Bie's personality, was loved by some who thought it was awesome, and hated by others who thought it was hideous.

Compared to this car, Chen Ye was slightly more interested in the "Wandering Immortal Sequence."

This was another sequence name Chen Ye knew of that contained the character for "immortal."

The other sequence name containing the character for "immortal."

Was the Pink-haired Girl's "Sword Immortal Sequence."

You know, the name of any sequence had its own meaning.

Could it be…

These three also had two vehicles behind them.

The condition of these two vehicles wasn't much better than Chen Ye's Bus Number Seven.

Dozen or so people also stood nervously beside the vehicles.

These people stood frozen in place, watching this side with pairs of terrified yet curious eyes.

Just at that moment.

"Cousin!"

The sudden address instantly drew all the surrounding gazes toward the source of the voice.

The direction of the voice was precisely from the ordinary survivors of Huang Lu and Gong Yong's convoy.

A tall woman dressed like a beggar stumbled out from the crowd.

This woman looked at Xu Lina with disbelief.

Her expression held both doubt and anxiety.

She seemed to want to approach but was also hesitant.

Xu Lina was slightly stunned, her beautiful eyes also looking at this tall woman.

After a long moment, Xu Lina finally called out incredulously: "Weiwei?"

As soon as she called out.

That tall woman dressed like a beggar let out a loud "wail" and started crying.

Then she ran charging toward Xu Lina.

The two sisters hugged each other, their heights similar, their face shapes also seeming similar…

Only Xu Lina looked like a goddess, while this newly recognized younger sister looked somewhat like a beggar.

Xu Lina patted the woman's back, but stopped after just two pats.

She seemed quite disgusted by the woman's dirty appearance.

The expression on her face didn't show much excitement either.

Interesting.

Chen Ye stroked his chin.

He originally thought he'd encounter Chu Che and Sun Xixi and the others this time.

Never expected to meet these three.

A chatterbox with a straight-talking Wandering Immortal Sequence.

A bearded, socially anxious "uncle."

A distracted woman and Xu Lina's so-called "younger sister."
