Chapter 590: Subjugation

The atmosphere in the camp was harmonious at this moment. Many survivors were sitting in small groups around the bonfires, chatting softly about one thing or another. From within the bonfires came occasional crackling and popping sounds.

The pink-haired girl still hadn't returned, but clearly, no one was particularly worried about it.

The expressions on everyone's faces were somewhat relaxed.

Only a single light was still burning on the second floor of Bus Number Six.

It was obvious that Gong Yong was still working.

On the balcony beside it, Xu Lina could be seen with her long, shapely legs crossed, staring up at the stars, clutching a bottle of wine in her hand, her cheeks flushed a drunken red.

No one knew what this woman was thinking about.

Occasionally, survivors sitting by the bonfires would sneak a glance in her direction, their gazes filled with infatuation.

But they quickly lowered their heads again, not daring to look for too long.

Xu Lina's beauty was like a poison.

Iron Lion was doing squats with a massive stone slab strapped to his back.

Dantai Bie was nowhere to be seen.

Then again, that guy had been running all over the place lately, getting along well with a lot of people in the entire base.

Although he was a bit of a chatterbox, he was a good person at heart.

As a result, he'd built good relationships with many people.

Wherever that guy went, it was always lively.

Chen Hao wasn't around either, probably following Dantai Bie on a visit somewhere.

Ding Dong was taking care of those Ideal Grain Seeds, with quite a few survivors bustling around her, busy with one task or another.

A fence had been set up next to the camp, housing several meatworms and freshly picked leaves.

Ever since a way had been found to eat the expired food, those expired items were no longer fed to the meatworms.

In another fenced area, there were all kinds of little chicks.

Both of these enclosures had dedicated people looking after them.

For this reason, Wu Zehui from the neighboring Post-Apocalyptic Opera Troupe was very envious and would often come over to take a look.

He even wanted to buy a meatworm, but Chu Che refused.

The meatworms had originally been purchased from Ye. Chu Che told Wu Zehui to go find Ye instead, but Ye's quoted price was frighteningly high.

Clearly, they didn't have much stock left either.

There was no way around it—breeding meatworms was simply too difficult.

Squad Leader Chu did have some leaves from the king tree, but he had stashed them away like precious treasures, apparently planning to sell them for a good price here.

Chen Ye carried his blade and walked out to the vehicle.

Apart from a few survivors glancing his way, no one paid him any attention.

Chen Ye walked to the secluded spot behind the Monster Pickup Truck.

The entire camp of the Fair Convoy had the migration vehicles on the outer perimeter, while the inner area was where survivors and superhumans moved around.

He leaned the large blade against the Monster Pickup Truck.

He was just about to undo his pants...

When he heard a dark figure not far away, muttering something incessantly.

That figure, those fragmented words, seemed even more sleazy than himself.

Chen Ye was slightly stunned. He pulled up his pants and slowly, quietly crept closer.

Then Chen Ye heard some mysterious words that made his skin crawl all over.

"Baby, how could I not love you? How could I not adore you?"

"Baby, you're the one I love the most!"

"Look at you, such an adorable figure, such shimmering, translucent skin..."

"My precious little darling!"

"You are my heart, you are my liver, you are three-quarters of my life!"

"Mwah... your man loves you!"

Chen Ye felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. His entire body shuddered.

What the hell... isn't this way too disgusting!

Who does something like this?

Even though he'd long known this guy wasn't normal.

But this behavior still broke through the bottom line of his understanding.

This guy... was a real pervert!

If only he had a phone right now.

That sleazy figure seemed to sense movement behind him. Startled, he spun around in a panic.

That person was none other than the captain of the Fair Convoy himself.

Right now, Captain Chu's face was flushed bright red, and he was clutching something tightly in his hands.

His eyes glared at the disgusted-looking Chen Ye as if he wanted to kill him.

What Chu Che was doing, of course, was his daily ritual with the Love Brain Lighter.

He'd finally found a secluded spot, a place with no one to disturb him.

He never expected to be caught by Chen Ye of all people.

Ever since using the Love Brain Lighter a few times,

Chu Che had discovered a pattern: as long as he sincerely whispered sweet nothings to the lighter,

the lighter's power became stronger.

The more sappy and cheesy the sweet talk, the more positive the lighter's feedback.

Chu Che even speculated that this Love Brain Lighter might be able to raise its ranking number.

This was the intuition of a pathfinder, and also the intuition born from establishing a romantic relationship beyond mere friendship with the lighter.

Squad Leader Chu had long abandoned many of his concerns in order to make this lighter improve its number ranking.

Ever since the last humiliating public exposure, he hadn't been discovered again.

So, Squad Leader Chu had become even more open about it.

Squad Leader Chu made sure to do this once a day without fail.

The reason he didn't do it inside the tent was that he was afraid someone might barge in unexpectedly.

He'd already suffered one humiliating exposure before, and naturally didn't want anyone else to see it a second time.

This spot had been repeatedly assessed by Squad Leader Chu Che as a place no one would come to disturb him.

And yet, he'd still been caught red-handed by that damn one-eyed bastard.

For the first time, Squad Leader Chu's face turned beet red, even the veins on the back of his neck bulging, looking as if he wanted to fight Chen Ye to the death.

He was the captain, after all.

He still had some dignity to maintain.

He wasn't Chen Ye!

Chen Ye waved his hand and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, Squad Leader Chu, I will absolutely never tell anyone about this."

"I can understand your predicament!"

Chen Ye's face was full of righteousness, a look of "I'm looking out for you," an expression of "I understand you completely."

Squad Leader Chu was stunned, then felt a bit touched.

Had Chen Ye changed? Did he actually consider others now?

Yeah, they had been together for so long, there had to be some feelings between them.

Yezi had become a good person!!!

"Squad Leader Chu, don't worry. I'll pretend I never saw anything!"

With that, Chen Ye turned around and resolutely walked away.

He'd only taken two steps.

"HAHAHAHA... I'm dying of laughter!"

"Squad Leader Chu is professing his love to a lighter! HAHAHAHA... I can't take it!"

"I'm literally crying with laughter! I can't, I can't!"

"Everyone come quick! Squad Leader Chu is confessing to a lighter! Hahaha..."

The piercing, mocking laughter instantly rang out across the entire camp.

The touched expression on Squad Leader Chu's face hadn't even faded yet, frozen there on his features.

From being touched, to anger, to embarrassment, to social death...

The emotion of being touched lasted less than ten seconds.

The flush that had receded from Squad Leader Chu's face came rushing back, and with even greater fury. You could even see wisps of green smoke rising from the top of his head.

Clearly, he was furious to the extreme...

You see, while Squad Leader Chu's skin wasn't quite as thick as Chen Ye's,

it was still something ordinary people couldn't compare to.

For him to have such a reaction showed just how incredibly angry he was on the inside.

"Chen Ye! I'LL F*CK YOUR GRANDPA!"

After roaring that, Squad Leader Chu executed a flying kick, landing it squarely on Chen Ye's backside.

Chen Ye, who was already laughing so hard he could barely breathe, was sent sprawling face-first onto the ground like a dog eating shit.

Before Chen Ye could react, Squad Leader Chu, his face still red, had already vanished.

In the camp, the other survivors looked over in surprise.

Faced with those astonished, strange gazes, Squad Leader Chu suffered another round of social death.

Squad Leader Chu wanted to learn from Chen Ye's thick skin and act like it didn't matter, but that kind of thing required talent.

No matter how hard he tried to learn it, he just couldn't.

Finally, by the time Chen Ye got up from the ground in fury at that secluded spot, only Chen Ye remained.

Chen Ye's face was covered in dirt, while Squad Leader Chu Che had already disappeared without a trace.

Chen Ye cursed angrily, but couldn't help laughing for a while longer.

When he realized he was the only one left here, Chen Ye's remaining eye rolled around in thought.

This spot was perfect for carrying out his plan, saving him the trouble of finding another place.

He figured that after being humiliated like that by him, Chu Che probably wouldn't be coming back anytime soon.

Little did he know, Squad Leader Chu, who had just returned to his tent, after a brief moment of fury,

began to feel suspicious.

Why had Chen Ye gone to that place?

Could it be that he also had some shameful business to take care of?

Hmm... judging by Chen Ye's behavior, it was very possible.

Squad Leader Chu crouched low and slipped out of the tent.

At that moment, Chen Ye was once again undoing his pants.

Rustle, rustle...

A little stream drew an arc through the air and splashed onto the ground, forming a small puddle.

Hmm... slightly yellow.

And a little foamy.

He gave a little shudder.

Shut the door.

A lecherous grin curled at the corner of Chen Ye's mouth.

The large blade leaning against the vehicle trembled slightly, as if sensing that something bad was about to happen.

"Wonders have spirits. Don't you play dumb with me. I know you can understand what I'm saying!"

Chen Ye grabbed the blade and aimed it at the yellow puddle on the ground.

His blood-red single eye glowed with a perverse red light.

"I gave you a chance. I gave you time!"

"If you still refuse to behave!"

"Then don't blame me for poking you... with THIS!!"

Chen Ye raised the blade, its tip slowly approaching that small, stinking yellow puddle.

A pungent, rank smell began to spread up along the blade tip.

The large blade in his hand shuddered, as if realizing that something terrible was happening.

Then it shuddered again, and continued to shudder violently!

It seemed to be trying to break free from Chen Ye's grip.

But Chen Ye held the handle tightly. His eyes and the corner of his mouth twisted into an expression of pure evil.

It was just like a villain forcing himself on a virtuous lady.

And the virtuous lady was struggling frantically.

The more she struggled, the more excited Chen Ye became.

He'd tried burning it, chopping it, threatening it, and all sorts of other methods before, and none of them worked.

If a Wonder were just an object, he really wouldn't have any way to deal with it.

But if a Wonder had a spirit,

there were quite a few methods.

"I don't care what you are. Since you won't behave, hehehe... today I'll poke you with THIS!"

"Tomorrow I'll poke you with THAT..."

"Anyway, I can't use you. When the time comes, I'll bury you in a cesspit and let you stew there for ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years..."

Hearing Chen Ye say this, the blade in his hand struggled even more violently.

Chen Ye even felt like he was about to lose his grip.

He felt as if the blade might break free from his hand at any moment.

The blade was trembling nonstop, its clanging ringing out endlessly.

It sounded like pleading, like accusation, like cursing...

But Chen Ye remained unmoved.

At the same time, a tentacle extended from the Monster Pickup Truck, firmly helping Chen Ye wrap around the blade's handle.

The Monster Pickup Truck had now become Chen Ye's accomplice.

The blade's clanging grew louder and louder, its tremors bigger and bigger.

But with the Monster Pickup Truck's help as an accomplice, no matter how hard the blade struggled, it was all useless in the end.

"It's useless..."

"Be a good boy and listen..."

The blade tip slowly approached the little puddle.

Closer and closer.

Ten centimeters!

Five centimeters!

Three centimeters!

Two centimeters!

Finally, Chen Ye felt something through the hand gripping the handle.

A stream of information instantly appeared in Chen Ye's mind.

Chen Ye stopped the movement in his hand.

The Monster Pickup Truck's tentacle retracted back into the wheel hub.

Chen Ye's eyes slowly widened, filled with unprecedented excitement.

His lips moved in a constant murmur.

"No wonder, no wonder Jiang Rou has always wanted this blade!"

"No wonder she wanted it so desperately!"

"No wonder..."
