Mo Qingluan poured out the wild vegetables he had brought back, had them rinsed briefly, and instructed Sister Zhang to take out one of the two ground squirrels that had been prepared, cut it into small pieces, and put it into the pot.

A little over a hundred, with this little bit of meat and less than ten pounds of wild vegetables, each person can only get a tiny bit.

"Sister Zhang, add more water and cook the wild vegetables and meat together."

The aroma of the broth made everyone's mouths water. Once it was almost ready, she tossed handfuls of wild vegetables into it.

A crowd gathered around, holding bowls of all shapes and sizes—stainless steel, ceramic, plastic—anything that could hold something.

Seeing the crowd becoming somewhat chaotic, Sister Zhang sternly shouted, "Everyone line up! There will be no one who doesn't line up!"

More than a hundred people lined up in a crooked queue. Sister Zhang took a large iron ladle and ladled a bowl of soup, a small piece of meat, and a small spoonful of wild vegetables into each person's bowl, making sure that everyone's portion was about the same.

Soon, the soup in the pot was gone, the meat was all gone, and the wild vegetables were all eaten.

"That's it?" A man slammed his bowl on the ground. "Who would eat this little bit? It's not even enough to fill a tooth gap. This food is bitter and astringent. Even a dog wouldn't eat it."

"Exactly!" another person chimed in. "Isn't there a gopher too? Why not cook it together?"

"Yes, we cooked it all together. This little bit of food isn't enough for anyone."

"Sister Qingluan, you can't do this! We've followed you all the way from the film set, and now that you have food, you're abandoning us?"

Mo Qingluan stood to the side, holding a bowl of soup. He had only taken a sip when he felt a bitter taste fill his mouth. He frowned. Having lived a life of luxury for so many years, when had he ever tasted such bitterness?

Michelle slammed the bowl on the ground, stood up, and shouted at the people around her, "That's enough!"

"This is our last food. We've cooked it all. What will we eat tomorrow? What will we eat the day after? Have you thought about that?"

"We'll talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow!" the man who smashed the bowl said stubbornly. He was used to throwing his weight around on Earth and didn't think much of the two female celebrities. "Let's eat first!"

"Full?" Michelle sneered.

"Over a hundred people and only two gophers, how are you going to get enough to eat? Don't you know the answer to that? The other convoy members either go hunting or dig for wild vegetables to feed themselves. And you? You're just sitting here waiting for someone to hand you food?"

"We're actors! We don't hunt!" an actress pushed her way out of the crowd.

"How are we supposed to kill those monsters? You're awakened beings, you have the ability, you should protect us!"

"Exactly!" someone echoed.

"Aren't you Awakened Ones? Awakened Ones should protect ordinary people; that's your responsibility!"

"Responsibility?" Michelle took two steps forward, her gaze sweeping over the faces of those people.

"Who told you that Awakened Ones have a responsibility to protect you? The convoy we've joined now, according to Captain Wang Lie, is based on voluntary participation. Everyone on the road relies on their own abilities. The Awakened Ones don't owe you anything, and neither do we!"

She pointed to the hunting team members roasting meat in front of the camp, "Look at them, they're all injured, some even died in the woods. They have meat to eat, they risked their lives for it. And you? You're afraid of everything when we ask you to dig for some wild vegetables. Out of more than a hundred people, only a dozen or so are willing to go. The rest of you are just waiting here?"

Michelle looked at the people who had their heads down and dared not speak.

"What's wrong? Are you all mute? Speak up! If you want meat, sign up for the hunting team! If you want to dig for wild vegetables, the woods are over there. If you want to follow the caravan, then follow obediently. If you don't want to, leave now. Nobody's stopping you!"

After she finished speaking, she picked up her bowl of soup, turned around and walked to the Alphard. She drank it sip by sip. The soup had gone cold, and the bitterness of the wild vegetables was even stronger. She finished drinking it with a frown.

Sister Zhang and another bodyguard stood silently beside her and Mo Qingluan the whole time, their hands on the hilts of their knives.

"Attention everyone! Attention everyone, the convoy is about to depart. Everyone get on the bus, don't fall behind, repeat..."

The convoy's horns blared, and the armored motorhome at the front started moving, followed by one modified bus after another.

The people in the camp quickly packed up their belongings and ran to their vehicles.

"Wait for me, my car is out of gas, let me in..."

"Brother, please, let my wife and kids get on the bus. I have a few packs of instant noodles here. I'll buy two seats." A middle-aged man knocked on the door of a bus and shouted urgently.

Seeing this, the driver opened the car door and said, "Hurry up and get in the car. Find a seat yourself, or if there aren't any, find an empty seat. Xiao Li, pack your things."

"Thank you, brother. Wife, come on up!" the middle-aged man said gratefully, handing his things to a young man behind the door. He then pulled his wife and children onto the bus. The bus was already full of people, and the aisle was also full of people. These people had run out of gas and had to pay for their supplies on the bus to buy a chance to get on.

The man looked around and finally found an empty seat on the bus, where he pulled his wife and children to sit down.

"Attention everyone! The convoy is accelerating. Stay close to the convoy, maintain a safe distance, and don't fall behind..."

Xiao Xuan followed the car at a steady pace, keeping a safe distance. Lin Feng dealt with the two level 1 ground squirrels on the roof, pulling out the barbs from their backs one by one, peeling off their skin, knocking out their two front teeth, and collecting all their sharp teeth.

These are all top-quality materials; I'll find Guo Yi another day to incorporate them into the weapon.

The entrails and rat head were chopped off and thrown out; the sight of this thing is disgusting, no way…

"Zzz..."

The sound of brakes rang out, and the cars behind saw this and quickly stopped. Several people got out and picked up the rat heads and entrails on the ground and put them into their cars. What Lin Feng didn't care about, they thought was all meat, and after cleaning it, it would weigh at least 10 or 20 pounds.

They almost got into a fight over this, and only after being urged by honking horns did they continue to follow the convoy.

"Brother Lin Feng, it's raining!"

Lin Feng looked up, and a raindrop landed on his forehead, then a second, then a third. The raindrops became denser and heavier, and the sky instantly turned gray and then darkened, with the rain falling harder and harder.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a torrential downpour. Lin Feng cleaned the groundhog meat with the rainwater, then quickly ran down the stairs, hung the groundhog on the wall, and rushed into the stone house on the second floor.

He closed the door behind him, his clothes were completely soaked, and he looked like he had been pulled out of the water.

"Brother Lin Feng, here's a towel. Change your clothes first..." Xiao Rui took out a dry towel and handed it to Lin Feng.

After taking the towel, Lin Feng wiped his face, dried his hair, took off his wet clothes, and casually picked up a bath towel to wrap around himself.

"ah……"

The girls reacted differently. Xiao Rui and the other girls covered their eyes with their hands, but the gaps between their fingers were so wide that it was almost as if they weren't covering their eyes at all. Chen Min, on the other hand, was completely different. She hugged the bear and openly looked it over, even commenting:

"Nice figure..."

"Of course, didn't Sister Min experience it today? Let's do it again..."

"Let go of them, they're still here, um..."
