“Squad Leader Chu, I… also… have to go!”

The one coming to say goodbye was none other than Chen Hao!

This guy’s injuries had long since healed, and he’d been well taken care of in the convoy during this time.

No one expected that this guy would choose to leave at this moment.

“You’re leaving too?”

Chen Ye glanced at Chen Hao in surprise.

Chen Hao nodded, adjusting the glasses with tape wrapped around the bridge: “Squad… Leader Chu, Ye… zi, and everyone else…”

“Don’t… try to talk me out of it!”

“I made a… promise… I have to… keep it!!”

Chen Hao spoke with a stutter.

Everyone understood what he meant by this.

The Quotation Sequence was fine in every other way, but this side effect was downright disgusting.

The agreement he’d made back then with that Little Fatty, Huang Di, was like a dog leash, firmly binding Chen Hao.

Chen Ye clicked his tongue: “Come on, why are you so stubborn? When we left the Oasis, that Little Fatty might already be dead!”

Chen Hao shook his head: “No… it’s not… right. I promised… I have to… keep it!”

“Unless… unless…”

“Alright, alright… shut up, I know what you’re going to say!”

Chen Ye waved his hand impatiently, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and walked off to the side, not wanting to deal with this nonsense.

“Brother Chen Hao, you… you’re really leaving?”

Little Fish was a bit reluctant to see Chen Hao go.

Compared to her archenemy Chen Ye, she felt that Chen Hao was simply the best person in the world.

In her daily interactions with him, Chen Hao’s patience was exceptional.

He had never complained, which made him very likable to Little Fish, who was in her rebellious phase.

After all, there hadn’t been a single person in the entire convoy her age before.

Of course, now there were a few little girls in the newly joined Doomsday Convoy.

But she hadn’t gotten to know them yet.

Chen Hao patted Little Fish’s head: “I… have to… go… You… need to…”

“I know, you’re saying I need to be good, huh!~”

Little Fish irritably knocked Chen Hao’s hand away and walked off.

But Chen Ye noticed a glimmer of moisture in her eyes.

Tang Le Le, whom she had just gotten to know, was gone, and now Chen Hao was leaving too.

This made Little Fish feel disappointed and empty inside.

As if sensing someone watching her, Little Fish turned her head and found it was Chen Ye.

She gave him the back of her head and didn’t even acknowledge him.

“The situation right now isn’t very good! Are you sure…”

Chu Che tried to persuade him again.

Chen Hao stuttered: “It’s… it’s okay, I… have a way!”

“Squad Leader Chu… don’t worry, once I… once I fulfill… my promise, I’ll come… find you all…”

“Go on, go on!”

Chen Hao said goodbye to everyone one by one.

When he came to Chen Ye, Chen Hao stuttered: “Yezi… you… you… need… to… be a good person!”

Chen Ye: “…”

“Get out of here! Since when am I not a good person?”

Chen Hao smiled, completely unfazed by Chen Ye’s bad attitude.

“By the way, are you going to the Return to the City Plan?”

Chu Che suddenly asked from the side.

Chen Hao thought for a moment and said: “If… if…”

Before he could finish, everyone knew what he was going to say.

They all chimed in: “We get it, don’t talk, just go!”

Chen Hao: “…”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes,

Chen Hao muttered something to himself, then vanished like a breeze.

Chen Ye opened his mouth.

Wait, this guy had never used that ability in front of them before.

It seemed this seemingly honest guy also had his own little secrets.

Just then, a weak voice came from the side.

“Um, Squad Leader Chu, I also want to…”

Everyone turned to look, seeing a big man with a thick beard, looking fierce and intimidating.

His build was as sturdy as a black bear.

But his demeanor was timid and hesitant.

It was Gong Yong.

He was the only one left from their Doomsday Convoy this time.

That made him feel very uncomfortable.

Everyone had left.

It felt somewhat inappropriate for him to stay here alone.

Chen Ye swept a cold glance at him and said coolly: “Go back and sit down!”

“Got it!”

Gong Yong shuddered at Chen Ye’s blood-red eyes, turned around without hesitation, and strode away.

“Hey, Dantai Bie, are you leaving too?”

Chen Ye turned to look at Dantai Bie, who had been silent all along.

It was rare for this guy to stay quiet since just a moment ago.

Dantai Bie saw the others looking at him, smiled, and said: “I’m leaving too, but not right now!”

“It’s not easy to run into a convoy, so I’ll just tag along with you for a while.”

“You don’t know how boring it is traveling alone.”

“Little Silver is pretty smart, but it’s still not human—just an AI, doesn’t understand human feelings.”

“By the way, what’s this Return to the City Plan you were talking about?”

“Is it about taking back the cities?”

“That sounds interesting, hmm… I want in too!”

No one paid him any attention.

You just couldn’t engage with this guy once he got going.

If you did, he’d never shut up.

But Dantai Bie soon found a target.

The honest Iron Lion was practically the best listener for Dantai Bie.

Iron Lion recounted everything he knew, point by point.

It piqued Dantai Bie’s interest immensely.

“Everyone, we need to tighten management over the survivors on your respective vehicles during this time!”

“The number of anomalies here is beyond our imagination!”

Squad Leader Chu’s voice came through the radio, very serious.

“Don’t ask me why—I don’t know either!”

“If I had to say, the Eternal Night is the reason!”

“Of course, there’s no way to verify that reason!”

“So, everyone, be careful.”

“I can’t guarantee there won’t be anomalies on the path I choose, just that there’ll be slightly fewer!”

“So, if you want to survive, be cautious, cautious, and then cautious!!!”

Chu Che’s words weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.

Xiao Fu’s funeral only lasted three minutes.

People, too overwhelmed to grieve, set off on their journey once again.

But this time, the convoy had far more people than before.

Chen Ye’s voice came through the radio: “Squad Leader Chu, aren’t you Sequence 4? Is Sequence 4 really that weak?”

Hearing Chen Ye’s words, Chu Che felt like a lump of cotton candy was stuck in his chest.

“If I weren’t Sequence 4, we’d still be in the Sea of Trees!”

Chu Che replied in a huff.

The subtext of his words was: precisely because he had risen to Sequence 4 that he could lead everyone out of the Sea of Trees!

Actually, the Sea of Trees was relatively safe.

At least all the superhumans in the convoy had survived.

Though it had been dangerous, they had managed to weather the danger in the end.

That was no doubt thanks to Squad Leader Chu.

“Wait, Squad Leader Chu, what exactly happened over at the Sea of Trees?”

An unfamiliar, lively voice came through the radio.

Everyone knew who it was at once—even though they’d only met a few minutes ago, Dantai Bie’s voice was instantly recognizable.

They just hadn’t expected his car to have a radio too.

“I don’t know either, but there should be spatial folding layers in the Sea of Trees. Maybe it’s an anomaly entrance!”

Chu Che organized his thoughts a bit before answering Dantai Bie.

“Anomaly entrance? Squad Leader Chu, you mean that’s the rift where anomalies invade the human world?”

“Wow, that sounds so cool!”

Dantai Bie’s voice was filled with excitement.

Chen Ye smirked mischievously: “Dantai Bie, how about you go take a look? If you could solve this anomaly entrance, you might just become a human hero!”

Dantai Bie chuckled, his voice coming through the radio: “I’m not an idiot. Something at this level, better leave it to the experts!”

Chen Ye clicked his teeth, thinking to himself: This guy might seem flaky and a chatterbox, but he’s not so easy to fool after all.

“Too boring, too boring—no one’s talking. How about I tell you all a joke?”
