By the time Chen Ye and Chu Che returned, each dragging two struggling little fat sheep by the legs,

they found the Monster Pickup Truck was already stuffed to the brim.

Chen Ye blinked, a little speechless.

The tip of one tentacle kept waving in front of his eyes, as if bragging about its work.

Chu Che clicked his tongue: "As expected, like master, like pet!"

Chen Ye: "Shut up, will you!"

"Yezi, Squad Leader Chu, I think that's about enough. If we grab any more, we might..."

Ding Dong had been feeling deeply uncomfortable ever since she was forced into this operation.

Before the apocalypse, this woman had a very high moral standard.

After the apocalypse, if she hadn't ended up in the Fair Convoy, she would have died long ago.

That was also why, when Chen Ye first encountered her, he had easily convinced her to betray Mo Huairen.

At least the survivors in the Fair Convoy still lived like human beings, not slaves.

Now here she was, running around stealing chickens and dogs with Chen Ye and the others.

Ding Dong's small moral compass was making her feel terrible all over.

She was just generally awkward and uneasy.

"What do you mean 'about enough'? We don't come here every day! Of course we're going to take everything we can!"

Chu Che nodded and turned to comfort Ding Dong: "Ding Dong, if you feel bad, just think of it as Chen Ye forcing you. You had no choice!"

"Less bullshit, more work!"

Chen Ye glared at them.

He was complaining in his head: Are these two slacking off too obviously? Do they think I don't exist?

So, Chu Che turned and charged at the little fat sheep.

Ding Dong felt awkward, and uncomfortable.

But she still reluctantly rushed toward a little fat sheep that was leisurely grazing in the thick mist.

They were afraid that supernatural power fluctuations would attract attention.

Therefore, aside from the Smoke Breath Mist, none of them used any Wonders or supernatural powers.

Of course, the Monster Pickup Truck's tentacles didn't count.

After receiving Chen Ye's praise, the thing was like it had been injected with adrenaline, frantically extending its tentacles.

One by one, the little fat sheep were coiled by the tentacles and stuffed into the vehicle.

These terrified little fat sheep let out panicked "baa" cries.

But all of them were blocked and muffled by the Smoke Breath Mist.

This time, Chen Ye's Smoke Breath Mist had unlocked a very useful ability.

The whole process sounds long, but it only took about four or five minutes.

Normally, it would have taken at least ten minutes.

But the Monster Pickup Truck was simply too efficient.

This one thing's workload was several times that of Chen Ye, Chu Che, and Ding Dong combined.

Only when the Monster Pickup Truck absolutely couldn't fit any more did the three of them stop.

At this point, the truck bed of the Monster Pickup Truck was packed with little fat sheep stacked on top of each other, stuffed in like cargo.

Even the seats in the cab had a few little fat sheep lying on them.

Ding Dong looked at the Shepherd Convoy's flock, which had been reduced by nearly a third.

A third...

Ding Dong felt a little ashamed.

This was the first time she had ever done something like this.

It was honestly a bit...

Chen Ye and Chu Che, on the other hand, were shamelessly grinning at the fully loaded truck with satisfied, thieving smiles.

"Come on, what are you standing around for? Get in!"

Chen Ye called for them to hurry up and board.

He grabbed a little fat sheep from the driver's seat and shoved it into the back.

Ignoring the sheep's "baaing" protests as it was squeezed in.

Chu Che looked at the passenger seat and sighed. He had no choice but to pick up a lamb and sit down with it on his lap.

As for Ding Dong in the back seat,

that woman had a hard time even getting in.

She had a little fat sheep in her arms.

There was another little fat sheep on the seat next to her.

And not only that, there was one squeezed in by her feet.

At this moment, the Monster Pickup Truck was like a packed subway car on a Monday morning, stuffed to the brim.

A tentacle reached out and formed a simple barrier around Chen Ye's driving space, creating a crude driving compartment.

He stepped on the gas, and the Monster Pickup Truck slowly moved away.

Within the Smoke Breath Mist, two simple humanoid figures appeared and began to erase the traces they left behind as the vehicle departed.

And so, a large mass of Smoke Breath Mist began to retreat.

The wild wolves that the Smoke Breath Mist had expelled looked around blankly, as if they couldn't figure out what was going on.

Although they sensed that some unfamiliar scents had lingered here,

the wolves followed the scent trail, sniffing all the way, but ultimately stopped in front of the mist.

In their tiny brains, this mist didn't seem to match the characteristics of an intruder.

The three Giant Oxen had no reaction at all from start to finish.

They lay leisurely on the ground, their thick tails occasionally swishing, their mouths constantly chewing on something, looking completely at ease.

As if everything in the world had nothing to do with them.

And those little fat sheep with their tusks,

they too stared blankly at the mist.

They couldn't understand what had just happened.

If anyone had been keeping watch, they would have noticed that a lot of the livestock in the convoy had disappeared.

But the Shepherd Convoy had no tradition of keeping night watch.

In those vehicles modified by Gong Yong, people were sleeping soundly.

Jiang Rou, who had been exhausted from working late into the night, had just fallen into a deep sleep.

The Shepherd Convoy was far too confident in its security system.

Only when the Shepherd Convoy's camp became just a tiny glimmer of firelight in the distance did Chen Ye finally stomp on the gas pedal.

The Monster Pickup Truck's engine roared, and it began to accelerate into the distance.

The Smoke Breath Mist was withdrawn.

The moment it was gone, a stench of stale, rancid filth hit Ding Dong's nostrils.

It was all coming from those little fat sheep.

Ding Dong immediately felt like she was going to throw up.

"Yezi, I'm going to be sick... stop the car..."

"Don't! Hold it in, we'll take care of it when we get back!"

Ding Dong dry-heaved a couple of times and quickly covered her nose with her hand.

Next to her, Squad Leader Chu Che was the same.

He quickly pressed the hem of his shirt against his nose.

Even though the Monster Pickup Truck had no windows, the overwhelming smell of mutton lingered throughout the entire vehicle, forcing its way into their nostrils.

The trip back was relatively smooth.

By the time they returned to the camp, the sky was just beginning to show faint signs of daylight.

A terrifying figure was dozing at the camp entrance.

Hearing the sound of the vehicle's engine,

the terrifying figure immediately stood up.

As the vehicle approached,

Iron Lion caught the smell of mutton from a distance.

Even Sun Xixi, Xu Lina, Gong Yong, and the others came out to greet them.

The moment the Monster Pickup Truck stopped,

Chu Che and Ding Dong were the first to jump out of the car.

They bent over, hands on their knees, and started dry-heaving.

No matter who it was, spending an entire trip in close quarters with that many sheep would leave them smelling awful.

"Yezi, you guys... this is..."

Iron Lion walked over, about to ask what was going on,

when he saw several little fat sheep jumping out of the truck.

One, two...

Soon, the little fat sheep coming out of the Monster Pickup Truck formed a small flock.

Sun Xixi was speechless: "You... that many?"

"Less talking, wake everyone up. We're leaving right now!"

Chen Ye, letting his nose adjust to the fresh air, quickly said to Sun Xixi.

Sun Xixi instantly understood. This was clearly being afraid of someone showing up.

She was about to turn around and call everyone,

when she saw that Xu Lina was already a step ahead, having called Xue Nan over.
