Ye Nai suddenly felt that the so-called half-month employment of this team was because the team could only last half a month.

There were only three off-road vehicles, both the front and the rear were equipped with larger and wider bumpers, and the front bumper was even made with spikes.

The body of the vehicle was not large, with just a spare tire holder at the back, but this was not surprising. Most off-road vehicles in financially limited private teams were like this. They were fine for outdoor trips, but using them in combat was quite risky, which meant they didn’t have strong endurance.

Ye Nai had seen large military off-road vehicles that were tall, with side steps below the doors, double rear doors, a spare tire hanging on each side, and weighing several tons—her forklift wouldn’t necessarily be able to lift them.

The used off-road vehicle she bought from Brother Xiao Ma was of this model, both cool and impressive.

No wonder Brother Xiao Ma’s team almost went bankrupt after they lost three off-road vehicles.

She had paid Brother Xiao Ma over three million for it, and that was the price for a used vehicle that had been used for three years and modified. Imagine what a new one would cost.

There were a group of people standing by the vehicles. Ye Nai glanced over and quickly counted the numbers: eleven team members, seven Secret Realm Laborers, and including herself, a total of nineteen people, indeed fewer than twenty.

The intermediary had introduced Ye Nai to the team’s logistics deputy leader and then left, successfully concluding the transaction.

Everyone in the team, including the laborers, were men; Ye Nai, a young girl, stood in front of them like a chick entering a wolf pack.

The group of men immediately burst into laughter.

Ye Nai twiddled her clothes nervously, looking uneasily left and right.

"The intermediary said it was an urgent departure, but it’s not actually urgent, is it? Can I go to the store to buy a few changes of clothes?" Ye Nai choked up her voice, sounding weak and delicate, seemingly a novice with a clear gaze and no understanding of troubles.

"You didn’t bring anything with you for the laborer position?"

"The intermediary dragged me into this. Besides, who hires someone the same day they need them to leave? Don’t they usually give people a day to pack?" Ye Nai even felt aggrieved.

"It was a sudden occurrence, our scheduled cook got appendicitis and was hospitalized. Get on the vehicle, as long as you arrive on time it’s fine, otherwise, we’ll leave in half an hour. If you want to buy something, we’ll see if there’s time later, or else you’ll just have to stink for half a month."

The logistics deputy leader pointed to the two van-style vehicles and instructed Ye Nai to find the one carrying the kitchenware and sit in the vehicle.

As Ye Nai turned around, spores secretly infiltrated the bodies of the eighteen people present.

There were eight laborers. Six people sat in one vehicle’s compartment, and the other compartment contained cabinets fixed in place along three sides, filled with kitchen utensils, with the cabinet doors all locked. The small remaining space, originally meant for standing and retrieving items, was just enough for two more people to sit.

It was manageable; at least for Ye Nai, it wasn’t cramped. If the vehicle jolted, she could hold the cabinets and not fall, though sitting directly on the vehicle floor without any cushion was hardly a way to practice the Iron Ass Technique.

The vehicle door had a window, so closing the door didn’t plunge her into darkness, which was also quite good.

The team’s members naturally drove the vehicles.

She filled the position of cook, and from the moment she sat in the vehicle, the laborers in the same compartment started making awkward conversations with her. Ye Nai mentioned her surname, and though the others wanted to know her full name, she refused to divulge it.

The others then began to mock her, suggesting she was a rich heiress trying to experience life at the grassroots level.

Ye Nai immediately activated the spores within his body. Just before departure, he felt a turmoil in his stomach that necessitated a visit to the restroom.

Thus, amid the curses of the deputy logistic captain, the laborer rushed into the public toilet on the first floor of the inn.

The convoy did not wait for him, continuing onward, instructing him to find his way back and threatening to blacklist him across all intermediaries if he dared not return.

Ye Nai saw through the window above the door that the convoy had crossed the square, driven out of the town along the highway, and then turned right off the highway into the wilderness.

In the wilderness, the vehicles were orderly spaced apart, with a familiar row of large military off-roads at the farthest end, belonging to the military squad.

The timing was just right; it was afternoon in Five Bridges City, and early morning in the Secret Realm.

Seeing where his convoy was parked, they indeed had arrived late and could only queue at the end. The highway was not far from where they had just descended. If Ye Nai got out of the car now, he could run back in just a few steps.

Recalling that he still had a persona to maintain as someone fetching supplies, Ye Nai unlocked the car from the inside, opened the door, and went to find the Deputy Logistics Captain.

The Deputy Captain asked him to wait. Once the captain signed in and confirmed the official departure time, then he would allow Ye Nai to leave.

"Return immediately after buying the goods, otherwise, we will report it and have you collectively blacklisted by all intermediaries."

"Yes, yes, Deputy Captain, rest assured. I have been paid, and I will definitely get the job done properly."

Ye Nai agreed and ran off as soon as he turned around.

The highway was brightly lit, extending all the way to the town. Ye Nai stayed under the lights to maintain his cover so as not to be seen by those waiting in the wilderness to depart. He didn’t even take a motor-bike; instead, he ran back to the town.

The street shops were all open. There were two supermarkets, one large and one small. The small supermarket catered mainly to tourists, while the large one could supply troops with staples like rice, vegetables, eggs, and meat.

Ye Nai filled his shopping cart with two bags of rice, vegetables, eggs, ready-to-eat rice balls, and, factoring in a half-month’s needs, bought three sets of sportswear, tents, sleeping pads, sleeping bags, toiletries, paper towels, bottled water, and to fit all these items, an extra-large outdoor backpack.

Upon checkout, as he stuffed items into his backpack, he couldn’t help but remark to himself how difficult it was to maintain his cover.

With his backpack full and the other items tucked into the Space, Ye Nai walked out of town, stopping at a roadside stall to purchase a foldable chair with a backrest.

Upon his return to the assembly point, the laborer who had suddenly developed diarrhea was also there, smoking with other laborers, the smoke drifting with the wind, right past the kitchen supply truck. To avoid the stench, Ye Nai kept a distance from the vehicle and the group of men.

But there was no proper place to escape, as the waiting teams were numerous and so were the smokers, both men and women, making it feel like a smoking competition.

Ye Nai had no choice but to climb into the truck, shut the door tightly, and activated the spores to grow fungus in his nostrils, filtering the smoke.

She laid out two layers of winter-grade moisture-resistant, thermal sleeping pads she had bought from the supermarket on the narrow floor between cabins. Now during the autumn and winter stock update, the double layer of thick mats finally rid her of a sore behind, and she could lie down comfortably if she got too tired.

After setting everything up, she naturally didn’t want anyone else to come into the truck, so she discreetly intensified the nicotine cravings of those men, making them light up another cigarette shortly after finishing one, especially that group of male laborers; since they loved smoking, they might as well take their time smoking in one truck.

When it was about five o’clock inside the Secret Realm and the dawn began to break, each squad gradually climbed aboard and prepared to leave.
