Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!
Chapter 38 Be Gentle
It's been so long since the apocalypse. Before, as an ordinary person, my only thought was to find food and water and survive.
Only after awakening did he have other thoughts.
Time passed in silence, each second making the hearts of the two sisters outside the car sink lower and lower.
Li Xiaowei's smile was starting to falter, and the eight-treasure porridge jar looked like it was about to be crushed by her hands.
Li Xiaoyue, who had been keeping her head down the whole time, couldn't take it anymore. Seeing that her sister hadn't been able to make the most crucial promise for a long time, a surge of "what's the use of trying" courage suddenly rushed to her head.
She abruptly raised her head, her cheeks flushed red with excitement and fear, her eyes fixed on Su Ye, who was sitting cross-legged in the carriage.
His voice trembled with a sense of desperate desperation:
"Brother Ye!"
This address made Su Ye turn his gaze to her.
Li Xiaoyue took a breath, her chest heaving violently, and her words poured out like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, fast and urgent:
"My sister and I..."
We've come to seek refuge with you!
We want to follow you!
From now on, we'll listen to you and do whatever you tell us to do!
Cooking, washing clothes, watching the car, guarding belongings, organizing supplies...
We're willing to do any dirty or strenuous work!
us……
We're giving you everything we've saved up!
We are yours too!
if only……
As long as you let us follow you, give us something to eat, and if necessary...
Just protect us a little!
look……
Is this okay with you?
Li Xiaowei was stunned by her sister's sudden outburst, but then a sense of relief appeared on her face.
She stopped speaking, only pursed her lips tightly, held her breath, and waited with Li Xiaoyue for Su Ye's verdict.
Inside the carriage, Su Ye's gaze swept back and forth across the two sisters' faces.
Li Xiaoyue's straightforwardness intrigued him. Compared to Li Xiaowei's cautious probing, this uninhibited honesty made things clearer.
Of course, it's also possible that this is a more sophisticated tactic of retreating to advance, but it doesn't matter; for him, the difference is minimal.
After a long silence, just as the two sisters were about to despair, Su Ye finally spoke:
"Can."
The two simple words instantly brought a huge surge of joy to the eyes of the Li sisters, with Li Xiaoyue even letting out a soft gasp of excitement.
Su Ye's next words made their hearts jump again:
"But there are a few points I need to clarify."
First, I am not a philanthropist.
Following me means obeying all my commands without question.
You shall do whatever I tell you to do;
Don't do anything that's forbidden.
"Second, watch what you say."
You are not allowed to utter a single word about anything concerning me, whether it's what you've seen or what you've guessed.
"Third, your things, including yourselves, now belong to me."
No resources may be disposed of without my permission.
"Of course, I will guarantee your survival needs, but when necessary, when you need to take risks or make sacrifices, you have no right to bargain."
Of course, under normal circumstances, I will try my best to ensure basic safety.
Do you understand?
The conditions were extremely harsh, almost stripping them of all autonomy.
Li Xiaowei nodded vigorously almost without hesitation, her tone resolute:
We understand!
Brother Su Ye, no, from now on we'll call you Brother Ye.
We accept all your rules!
We will definitely be obedient!
She knew this was the only lifeline they could grasp at the moment.
Li Xiaoyue nodded hurriedly, her eyes still glistening with tears, but more than that, she felt relieved to have found someone to rely on.
"Um."
Su Ye nodded, which was considered a formal acceptance of their allegiance.
"Now, before most people in the camp are completely asleep, go and drive your cars over here and park them next to mine."
Be quiet, I'm on night duty later, I'll think about how to arrange things then!
The two sisters were taken aback, but Li Xiaowei immediately reacted and spoke up:
"Yes, we'll go right away!"
Then, pulling his still somewhat dazed younger sister along, they headed towards his SUV.
Li Xiaowei opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, while Li Xiaoyue quickly climbed into the passenger seat.
The key was turned, and the engine emitted a low, yet still distinct roar in the quiet night.
Li Xiaowei pursed her lips tightly, her hands and feet moving with unusual gentleness as she unlocked the electronic brakes and then lightly pressed the accelerator.
He maneuvered the sizable SUV slowly through the vehicles and the scattered tents.
The commotion attracted the attention of many who were not yet asleep. Some people turned over in the darkness, while others cast blurry glances from behind the car windows.
But when they saw the SUV finally stop next to and behind the silver-gray van, those gazes involuntarily turned away, turning into a barely audible sigh or whisper.
The silver-gray SUV turned off its engine and lights, plunging the surroundings back into darkness.
The two sat quietly in the darkness for a few seconds before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Sister, we..."
"Did you succeed?"
Li Xiaoyue's voice still trembled as she asked softly.
"Um,."
Li Xiaowei's voice was much more composed than her younger sister's.
"He set rules for us, telling us to drive our cars over, which means acceptance."
From now on, we're on his side.
"But……
I'm still really panicked.
Li Xiaoyue huddled in the passenger seat.
Li Xiaowei turned to the side, looking at her younger sister in the dim light.
"Yueyue, remember, from now on, we must have sharp eyes, keen ears, a tight mouth, and diligent hands and feet."
This is our only way to survive.
Li Xiaoyue nodded vigorously.
"Okay, let's take turns resting."
You go to sleep first, I'll stay and watch over you.
I'll call you in two or three hours.
Li Xiaowei adjusted her seat, her gaze fixed on the silver-gray bread truck opposite her, as if she were ready to go at any moment.
Li Xiaoyue nodded, covered herself with a thin blanket, and curled up in the chair.
But his eyes were wide open, and after a while, he finally drifted off to sleep in a state of extreme exhaustion and slight calm.
Time passed in silence and cold wind.
In the camp, only a few campfires occasionally sparked, and the footsteps of the watchmen could be heard.
After an unknown amount of time, a slender, aloof figure silently appeared beside Su Ye's bread cart—it was Lin Wei.
Her gaze lingered on the SUV right next to Su Ye's bread van for a moment, then she raised her hand and knocked three times on the bread van's window.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The sound was clearly audible in the silence.
Almost simultaneously, Su Ye opened his eyes inside the bread cart.
He sat up and rolled down the car window.
As the cold air rushed in, it also reflected Lin Wei's face.
"The shift has changed."
Lin Wei's voice was simple and cool.
Nothing much happened in the first half of the night.
We'll be on duty for the second half of the night.
You can go to the campfire, or you can stay in the car.
Just pay attention to your surroundings.
"Um."
Su Ye nodded, indicating that she understood.
Their Awakened Ones' vigil is primarily a form of alertness, and does not require actual patrols or anything like that.
The main thing is to stay alert, use your own sequence power, and sense the danger around you.
He opened the car door and got out, stretching his stiff shoulders, neck, and wrists.
After giving her instructions, Lin Wei glanced at the SUV next to her again.
The car windows were tinted, but she could almost feel the tense breathing and gazes from inside.
She didn't say anything, just nodded slightly to Su Ye, then turned and left, her figure heading directly towards the campfire next to her modified off-road vehicle.
Su Ye walked to the SUV next to her and knocked on the driver's side window.
