Lin Feng walked back to the bedroom. The bedroom light was still on. Chen Min was leaning against the headboard, flipping through a book she had found somewhere. When she saw Lin Feng come in, her gaze fell on his face.

"The look on your face...did you find a treasure?"

Lin Feng walked to the bedside and sat down. "It's even more unbelievable than finding a treasure!"

Chen Min closed the book, her gaze falling on Lin Feng's face with just the right amount of inquiry and curiosity.

Lin Feng leaned against the headboard and explained the general functions of the Tree of Life. For example, the power of nature can improve the soil and accelerate plant growth by 3 times. The natural barrier can isolate auras and resist the erosion of gray fog. The Altar of Life requires black iron ore and the blood and bones of all spirits to build.

There was no mention of resurrection.

After hearing this, Chen Min sat up straight, her pajamas strap slipping down her shoulder without her bothering to pull it back up. Her eyes lit up: "Doesn't that mean if we plant potatoes in the backyard, we can harvest them in a month!"

"What if we had vegetable seeds?" Her voice quickened a bit. "Wouldn't we be able to harvest a batch of vegetables like bok choy and lettuce, which have short growth cycles, in just a few days?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Mm!"

"This stuff is far more effective at accelerating plant growth than Jiang Sheng's. His can only accelerate growth in a small area, and it consumes a huge amount of energy. Your tree experiences continuous, passive acceleration, and it also improves the soil and the ecological environment. It's not even in the same league," Chen Min said with a sigh.

"It's a pity we have to keep going as soon as it gets light. If we could stay another day, maybe we could search the city again and find some seeds."

Lin Feng shook his head: "It's okay, maybe we'll encounter some magical plants unique to this world on the way. Besides, we still have potatoes, so we won't have to worry about not having anything to plant."

Chen Min looked at Lin Feng with teary eyes, reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, gently pulling their noses together: "Then why aren't you resting..."

Silent all night.

Lin Feng was woken up by Chen Min after only an hour of sleep. When he opened his eyes, it was already bright outside.

Chen Min was already dressed and had a rosy glow on her face. Her eyes were bright and lively. "Yu Tong came to call us. She said the convoy should leave now and can't wait any longer."

Lin Feng sat up, rubbed his face, quickly put on his clothes and his coat.

Shen Yutong had been sitting in the living room for a while, holding a piece of paper in her hand. When she saw Lin Feng come down, she didn't say much and handed the paper to him.

The paper was covered with crooked lines, and the directions and place names were marked in neat handwriting.

Lin Feng stared at it for a long time, looking completely bewildered: "What is this?"

"Roadmap!" Shen Yutong said calmly, as if stating something obvious.

Lin Feng picked it up again and looked at it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't figure it out. He could only roughly make out that it was a simple map, so he simply stuffed the paper back into Shen Yutong's hand.

"I don't understand. I'll have Xiao Xuan follow your commands in a bit. I'll modify the villa later and build a lookout tower in front so you can observe more easily. You tell it which way to go, and it will go that way. By the way, are you level 3 yet? Can you communicate with it telepathically?"

Shen Yutong looked at Lin Feng for a moment, then nodded.

Lin Feng clapped his hands: "That's even better. You can communicate with it directly through your mind. I'll leave the guiding to you. Don't worry, Xiao Xuan is very obedient."

As they were talking, Wang Lie and Guo Yi had already arrived in front of Xiao Xuan. Guo Yi stood at Xiao Xuan's feet, looking up at Xiao Xuan's current size, and said, "My goodness, how much does Xiao Xuan eat in a day?"

Wang Lie didn't respond to him, but looked up and called out, "Lin Feng, come down!"

Lin Feng landed between the two men: "What do you want with me?"

When Wang Lie saw Lin Feng appear, his tone implying, "You've finally shown up, kid: You've run off with Yu Tong. Leading the way is your job; we'll follow behind!"

"What do you mean I abducted someone? Their car was gone, and they got in on their own, okay?" Lin Fengcai would never admit to that.

"Alright, here you go!" Guo Yi handed Lin Feng a palm-sized black box with an antenna on it.

"Walkie-talkies, one for everyone in the convoy, effective within ten kilometers. I modified your car last night, I did it overnight." After he finished speaking, he told Lin Feng how to use it.

Lin Feng tuned the channel and shouted into the walkie-talkie speaker, "Hello, hello..."

"Not bad, it's quite clear!"

The loudspeakers in the convoy blared: "Attention everyone, the convoy is about to depart, repeat..."

The camp instantly came alive. People who had been resting stood up angrily, some checking vehicles, others moving supplies. Everyone sprang into action.

Especially those who were rescued yesterday at noon, only a few hundred young and strong people followed Guo Yi and his group onto the train, while the elderly, the weak, and those who couldn't find their own vehicles were banging on the train windows, asking for help from others.

Those who owned vehicles almost all shook their heads, indicating that they could not help.

"Sir!" Zhao Dayong jogged up to Lin Feng and said, "What's next? The Black Ghost has already put on the chains, and the carriage is full of bricks and stones. We can set off at any time."

Lin Feng glanced at the giant train: "Arrange those women in the carriages and don't let them get close to Hei Gui. If the carriages can't hold them all, send the rest on Xiao Xuan's back for now and let Chen Min handle them."

"Yes, sir, I'll arrange it right away!" Zhao Dayong immediately set off upon hearing this.

"Wait a minute, that car is temporarily under your control. You can handle the specific arrangements yourself."

A barely suppressed smile spread across Zhao Dayong's face as he bowed repeatedly in reply, "Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of it..."

Half an hour later, the convoy set off, with Xiao Xuan at the very front. Near Xiao Xuan's head, a 30-square-meter watchtower stood on the wall. Shen Yutong was at the top of the tower, holding the map in her hand. Occasionally, she would close her eyes and use her mental power to give Xiao Xuan instructions.

Behind Xiao Xuan, about two thousand black ghosts, bound by thick iron chains, slowly dragged the train loaded with bricks and stones. The horsemen, regardless of age or gender, almost all had a fine horse and waved their whips from time to time to straighten the black ghosts' formation.

Following closely behind was the train carrying Wang Lie and his group. This train was slightly smaller, but it was covered with heavy armor, exuding an aura of sturdiness. There were also people on the roof carrying bows and arrows, surveying the surrounding environment.

The vehicles following behind were a mixed bag, mostly belonging to the original convoy, with almost everyone now owning one. The trucks were crammed with supplies, forming a massive procession of hundreds of vehicles. At the very back were the elderly and infirm who did not have vehicles and followed the convoy on foot.

The convoy wound its way through the wilderness. After leaving the city, the road began to slope upwards. After several hours of travel, they climbed a high hill, and now they could only see the outline of the city. Suddenly, someone pointed behind them and shouted, "Look! What's that?"
