Chapter 99: Objective: Finding Water

Hearing that they were about to start distributing the Wonders, everyone's interest immediately perked up.

The surrounding survivors all showed expressions of envy.

Chen Ye also felt slightly excited.

What he wanted most right now were the bull bones from the Man-Eating Double-Headed Bull, eagerly wanting to upgrade and modify the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck into a Wonder.

He had wanted this thing from the very beginning.

He never expected it would finally be in his hands now.

He had just checked his Slaughter Points.

Killing Mo Huairen and the Demon Sequence youth had unexpectedly increased his Slaughter Points by twenty thousand.

Combined with his previous Slaughter Points, it should be enough to upgrade one Wonder.

Suppressing the random thoughts in his mind.

He focused his attention on the matter at hand. As long as he obtained the bull bones and integrated them into the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck, he would have two Wonders.

Not to mention the significant combat power increase.

With the Wonder pickup truck, his future survival would be greatly guaranteed.

As for the Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin.

In terms of value, the Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin was clearly better than the bull bones.

But the bull bones were obviously more suitable than the Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin.

He couldn't think of how to use the Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin on the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck for now.

Was he supposed to install genuine leather seats for the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck?

Of course, that wasn't impossible either.

But for now, everything still had to prioritize survival.

"Everyone, first is these bull bones. Although I don't know the quality of this Wonder Material, I imagine it shouldn't be bad."

"Everyone has a share in these bull bones. Whoever wants to obtain this Wonder Material needs to compensate the other four people."

Chen Ye didn't expect the first thing to be distributed would be the Man-Eating Double-Headed Bull bones.

Chen Ye naturally expressed interest without hesitation.

Mad Lion shrugged: "I'm not interested in this thing. If Chen Ye can give me one, no, two camels, I'll let you have these bull bones."

"Mad Lion, aren't you being too greedy?"

Although Chen Ye agreed in his heart, he couldn't be so accommodating.

Even though it was Wonder Material, what everyone lacked most now was food. Food was the real deal, the basic currency.

According to the distribution rules, Chen Ye could also get quite a few of those camels.

Chen Ye bargained with Mad Lion and finally settled on giving one and a half camels.

Ding Dong looked puzzled nearby.

In theory, Wonder Materials were indeed very valuable before the apocalypse.

But materials were ultimately just materials - they couldn't immediately be converted into combat power.

The Pink-haired Girl chattered in Ding Dong's ear for a while, then pointed at Chen Ye.

Ding Dong's eyes lit up as she listened.

Chen Ye ignored the two women's chattering and turned his attention to Chu Che.

"Captain, you want the Love Brain Lighter, right? If you give me your share, I won't compete with you for the lighter!"

Chu Che's face immediately turned red, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Chen Ye, you're way too greedy!"

These were the exact words Chen Ye had just said to Iron Lion, now Chu Che was saying them to Chen Ye.

"Captain, we're making a fair trade. This is a Wonder that you can use immediately upon getting it - you're getting a great deal!"

"Nonsense! Even if I can give you a discount, you can't be this greedy!"

"No way, you're usually all smiles, I never expected you to be this shady!"

Chu Che was somewhat irritated by Chen Ye's attitude.

Chen Ye smiled and bargained with Chu Che.

In the end, Chen Ye paid some rice and flour, plus some camel meat as trade, and finally obtained Captain Chu's share.

Of course, this made Chen Ye quite heartbroken.

But fortunately, it wasn't unacceptable.

Chen Ye's team only had himself, so in terms of food consumption, he naturally consumed much less than the others.

Chu Che and Sun Xixi not only had to support themselves, they each had one or two dead weights to take care of.

As for Iron Lion and Ding Dong, they had even more people to consider.

When it was Sun Xixi's turn.

The girl smiled and said she didn't need Chen Ye to exchange anything, as long as Chen Ye could help her refine a Wonder in the future.

Chen Ye flatly refused this request.

Refining Wonders required consuming Slaughter Points.

His own Slaughter Points weren't enough, how could he possibly help her refine one?

Thus, Chen Ye paid a painful price.

As for Ding Dong.

She also had a share in these bull bones.

Chen Ye similarly paid one and a half camels' worth of meat.

Once the slaughtering was done, he would have to hand over three camels' worth of meat that belonged to him.

In an instant, Chen Ye's supplies shrank considerably.

Next was the Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin.

This item was ultimately obtained by the Pink-haired Girl, who also compensated Chen Ye with some supplies.

This was originally the material Chen Ye had his eye on.

But now his supplies weren't enough to obtain it from the others, so he had to let the Pink-haired Girl have it cheaply.

As for the Human-Faced Scorpion Carapace, no one was interested in it, so Chu Che had to store it away.

They could only take it out for exchange when they encountered other teams in the future.

Finally, there was the Love Brain Lighter.

This could be considered the main event.

Chen Ye also really wanted this thing.

This was a Wonder, unlike materials that needed refining after obtaining them.

You could increase combat power immediately upon getting a Wonder.

But Chen Ye knew that with his current supplies, it wasn't enough.

In the end, he had to give up.

Captain Chu Che still obtained this Wonder.

He also paid a huge price for it.

Not only did he waive the gasoline Chen Ye previously owed, but he also gave Chen Ye a thirty-liter barrel of gasoline, plus some other supplies.

It could be said to be a massive loss.

Chen Ye even began to suspect.

Did Captain Chu have a storage space or something? How did he still have so much gasoline?

Chu Che remained silent about the reason.

This captain was always mysterious.

Meanwhile, Iron Lion and Ding Dong had a bountiful harvest.

The supplies in front of them had increased significantly.

The other survivors following them were grinning from ear to ear.

Iron Lion's Titan Sequence believed in one's own physical body, otherwise their Sequence 1 wouldn't be called Flesh and Blood Apprentice.

As for Ding Dong the boxer, she also relied on physical strength as her foundation.

Therefore, their desire for Wonder Materials and Wonders wasn't very strong.

This allowed them to reap a full harvest.

"Alright, the supplies have been distributed. There's one last thing today, after which everyone can rest."

"Captain, there's still something? Can I not participate? I haven't practiced my sword today."

The Pink-haired Girl complained discontentedly.

Nowadays, the Pink-haired Girl would find a secluded place every night to diligently practice her sword. Sometimes when waking up in the middle of the night, Chen Ye could even see the girl's exhausted figure.

Chu Che ignored the Pink-haired Girl and simply took out a crumpled piece of paper from his chest.

Seeing Chu Che's cautious manner, it was clear this matter wasn't simple.

Only the newly joined Ding Dong knew what this was.

"Captain, what is this now?"

"Ding Dong, since you gave this to me, why don't you explain it!"

Ding Dong didn't stand on ceremony and directly shared the information she knew.

Everyone listened with bewildered expressions, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

If this map really showed a water source, its significance would be even greater than distributing Wonders.

Although they had obtained so much drinking water today.

If they couldn't get replenishments, it would only allow them to last a bit longer at most.

In the endless desert, no one knew when they would get out.

Only by finding a water source would they have hope of survival.

"Next, our mission is to find a water source before our drinking water runs out, otherwise none of us will survive!"

This was Chu Che's final sentence in tonight's meeting.

It was also the most encouraging sentence everyone heard.

The surrounding survivors also learned about the water source matter and burst into cheers.

This could be considered the only good news in the convoy for many days.

With this, tonight's meeting was considered concluded.

Chen Ye eagerly had two survivors help move the supplies onto his vehicle.

The supplies obtained this time were considerable, directly weighing down the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck's bed and squeezing out the sleeping space for the night.

Fortunately, Chen Ye also obtained a set of tents this time.

Although he didn't know the brand name, the quality looked pretty good.

He tossed a small piece of bread to the two survivors, who thanked him profusely before leaving.

After setting up the tent, Chen Ye couldn't wait to crawl inside.

Without taking time to appreciate the tent's benefits, Chen Ye called up the system interface.

He had been thinking about this matter since dinner time.

If there weren't so many people around, fearing too many suspicious looks, Chen Ye would have checked the system's deduction results long ago.
