If Jiang Rou was the type who would stop at nothing until she achieved her goal,

willing to use whatever necessary means to get what she wanted,

then she would do whatever it took.

If she couldn’t trade for it, she would steal it; if she couldn’t steal it, she would swindle it…

For the sake of her objective, she could lower her standards to the same level as Chen Ye.

She could shamelessly ditch any sense of face, even disregard people entirely!

Until she reached her goal.

And Chen Ye…

Chen Ye was the kind of person who saw something good and immediately thought of claiming it for himself.

Jiang Rou wanted Chen Ye’s knife.

Chen Ye wanted the Shepherd Convoy’s entire stockpile.

Either way, they were two of a kind.

Calling them a perfect match wasn’t an exaggeration.

In this regard, the two shared an unspeakable similarity.

Of course, there was also the sanctimonious Captain Chu.

Not long after Jiang Rou left,

Chen Ye stared at a faint glowing line that stretched off into the distance.

It was an extremely thin, glowing line.

If you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t see it at all.

Clearly, this was Captain Chu’s Marking ability.

The marking extended in the exact direction Jiang Rou had gone.

“Captain Chu… this…”

Chu Che cleared his throat twice. “Ahem ahem… a new use for marking!”

At first Chen Ye looked at the glowing line with puzzlement.

Then he glanced at Chu Che.

Then he looked toward the direction Jiang Rou had disappeared.

If it were someone else, they might not understand what Captain Chu meant at all.

But the man before him had been with Captain Chu day in, day out, and knew exactly how hypocritical Chu could be—Chen Ye.

Within the convoy, Chu Che’s moral baseline ranked only slightly higher than Chen Ye’s.

Chen Ye’s expression shifted from bewilderment, to confusion, and then to sudden comprehension.

Finally it turned into a sly grin.

It seemed like he had said nothing, yet had said everything.

Chen Ye grinned at Chu Che. “Captain Chu, you saying it would happen tonight? Could it be this?”

“Are you planning to take me to…?”

“No way, Captain Chu, I never would have guessed someone with your bushy eyebrows and big eyes could do something like this.”

“Do you have any conscience as a captain?”

“You actually want to take me to do something like this!!!”

“You even made a mark…”

“You, you…”

Chen Ye wore a face of contempt.

That expression was as if he had seen something filthy.

Because of the earlier commotion,

Sun Xixi, Ding Dong, Xu Lina, and Gong Yong had all been woken up.

They were now on the scene.

As for Iron Lion, the guy slept like a rock.

He still hadn’t woken up.

At first, the others didn’t quite understand what the thin glowing line meant.

Until Chen Ye pointed it out.

The expressions on their faces immediately became priceless.

Chu Che sighed inwardly.

There was no way around it—being too familiar with someone can be a problem; before he even spoke, Chen Ye already knew what he was thinking.

The guy was basically a worm living inside his own gut.

At this moment, not only Chen Ye wore a face of scorn.

Even the pink-haired girl Sun Xixi looked at him with a “so that’s who you are” expression.

She nodded subtly, as if this was the Chu Che she truly recognized.

Ding Dong, also awakened by the noise, clearly displayed a “Captain Chu, you’re like this?!!!” look on her face.

Xu Lina had somehow ended up standing by Chen Ye, her gaze strange.

Gong Yong’s expression was equally odd.

On his face mixed “doubt,” “confusion,” and “incredulity.”

Of course, he also showed a contempt that wasn’t very well hidden.

These past days, Captain Chu had always presented himself as a qualified leader in front of Gong Yong.

He had even earned Gong Yong’s respect and esteem.

But who would have thought…

You’re actually this kind of Captain Chu.

I… I misjudged you.

Gong Yong’s inner world churned like stormy seas.

Even the most skilled actor in the world couldn’t perform the complex emotions Gong Yong felt.

He stared at Chu Che in a daze.

It seemed like he was trying to re-evaluate his captain.

The reliable, gentle, steady, prudent Captain Chu quietly collapsed in Gong Yong’s mind.

Chu Che’s face flushed with embarrassment, and Gong Yong’s expression felt like a great mockery.

Still, he tried to put on a serious expression. “Chen Ye, I’m the captain. How could I possibly do such a thing?”

“If I had thought of this earlier—”

Before he finished, Chen Ye impatiently waved his hand.

“Captain Chu, stop pretending! Who are you, I don’t know?”

“Is that marking the only one you made? There should be another one. Make it show up so we can see!”

“No…”

Chu Che’s face reddened.

A few minutes later,

with a resentful snap of his fingers,

another glowing line appeared before everyone.

This marking line had been made on the other convoy back when the two convoys separated.

When the two convoys split,

Jiang Rou had asked Yao Yao for a powdered medicine.

This powder only needed to be rubbed on a person’s clothing or an object, and it would form a faint, peculiar scent.

Of course, the scent was very light, and required a specific technique to detect.

If it had been an ordinary powder, the uncanny noses of superhumans would have detected it easily.

But this powder was made by a superhuman apothecary.

Without prior precaution, it was hard to discover.

Jiang Rou did this so she could find the Fair Convoy at night and get her hands on that knife.

This was how Jiang Rou had located the Fair Convoy.

As for how Jiang Rou had avoided the anomalies on the road,

she was alone, and the aura of the living is naturally faint for a lone person.

Plus she had her own tricks to further reduce her living aura.

Having one person find this place was not a particularly difficult task.

Unbeknownst to them, the sanctimonious Captain Chu had also done some dirty work on the other convoy.

“Captain Chu, their captain can’t see your mark?”

Chen Ye asked the key question.

Chu Che smiled arrogantly. “Their captain is only Sequence 3. I’m Sequence 4. We’re not the same. He absolutely cannot see it.”

Now that everyone’s filthy intentions were out in the open, Captain Chu relaxed.

Only Gong Yong still found it hard to believe.

He seemed to find it difficult to accept that the man before him was the Chu Che he had known.

According to Chu Che’s plan, they intended to wait until the other side rested at night, then go plunder for a bit of wealth redistribution.

The Shepherd Convoy has so many sheep; they surely couldn’t eat them all.

Let the Fair Convoy help consume some, that wouldn’t be bad.

Besides, the Shepherd Convoy had a feeder; taking a few sheep would not be a big deal.

Of course, Chu Che didn’t say it so bluntly, but that was the idea everyone could hear plainly enough.

The pink-haired girl snorted coldly. “They gave you one before and you all worried about this and that and didn’t dare eat it!”

“Now you want to go steal it yourselves. Aren’t you all just pathetic?”
