Back on the roadside, Lan Ling had already put the drone away. Wang Yao and Tian Haifeng both breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the returning car.

Lan Ling, carrying the drone case, glanced at Ye Xing, who was crouching on the roof of the car, and looked at Ye Xiao, who jumped down from the car, with surprise.

"Hey, where have you guys been? Why have you been taking so long?"

As she was about to ask Ye Xing on the roof of the car where she came from, she saw Ye Xing suddenly jump down and land steadily beside Ye Xiao, obediently squatting down to the side.

Lan Ling twitched her eyes twice, abruptly changing the direction of her question.

"Um, you picked it up?"

Ye Xiao shrugged helplessly, "I guess so. I was with those car thieves before, but now I've bribed them with a few duck legs."

Duck leg?

Lan Ling tilted her head slightly in confusion, then hesitantly pointed to her head, "Here, is it...?"

Ye Xiao closed his eyes briefly in response, then turned to look at the person crouching beside him like a puppy, and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Ye Xing, don't squat down. You're not a dog, you're a human. Be good, stand up."

Ye Xing looked at Ye Xiao with a puzzled expression and tilted her head. When Ye Xiao beckoned her hand, she obediently propped herself up on her legs and stood beside Ye Xiao with a slightly restrained air.

A strong stench immediately filled the air, and Ye Xiao inexplicably felt a bit of something stinging his eyes.

"Let's find a clean river later and have her wash up. While she's at it, let's shave her head; it smells awful."

Zhou Hu and Chen Ge and their group selected a 6-seater SUV and a small van.

The nuclear engine rewarded for the previous "Assassin" achievement will come in handy; the garage here has all sorts of tools.

Zhou Hu and his group helped Chen Ge and A Zhao, who were already experienced, to change the engine of the van.

Although it's called a truck, it's actually just a larger van. The body looks very sturdy, and the back space is quite large, which can be used to carry cargo or even put a bed for sleeping, killing two birds with one stone.

Because installing the engine would take some time, Wang Yao and Tian Haifeng prepared lunch. They would just have something simple for lunch today, like some noodles.

Ye Xiao and Lan Ling were sitting alone on a sofa in the hall, chatting with the live chat.

Ye Xiao: "Hey, did you guys block my followers? My follower growth has been so slow lately!"

Ye Xiao muttered to himself as he checked his fan panel.

"Hmm? Once we reach 20 followers, we can designate one lucky follower to be randomly selected?"

Upon hearing this, the black frame in the live chat immediately reacted.

[Black frame: Really? Then some restrictions will be lifted these few days.]

[Elden Pharaoh: Isn't this a bit too much? No wonder I couldn't post anything related to this.]

[The Heart of Isaac: No wonder my fan base is growing so slowly. Why are you restricting my brother Xiao's livestream?]

[Three Foxes: What's meant to come will come; it's all fate's arrangement. Even if you want to avoid risks, you'll still have to teleport.]

[SilverFox315: You guys can just watch the show, the official team has a lot more to consider. Are you happy just because you got it?]

[Pharaoh Elden: Pah, don't curse me]

[The Heart of Isaac: That is, it cannot be]

[Dawn's Flame: With my brother Xiao here, I'm not afraid at all]

……

If some restrictions are lifted, a lot of new fans will definitely flood into the live stream, and then another wave of haters will probably appear.

For some reason, Ye Xiao felt a strange sense of anticipation when he thought about this.

"time to eat!"

Tian Haifeng's voice rang out from outside, and Ye Xiao and Lan Ling walked out of the shop. Chen Ge and the others also wiped their oily hands.

Ye Xing, who was on guard duty, squatted on the roof of a nearby car, his drool dripping onto the roof with a pattering sound.

"..."

Tian Haifeng silently ladled out a bowl of noodles and handed it to Ye Xiao.

"This child is hungry!"

Ye Xiao pointed to the steps beside him with his chopsticks, "Ye Xing, come sit here."

The person on the roof jumped up and sat obediently on the steps, staring intently at the bowl in Ye Xiao's hand.

"You know how to use chopsticks, right? Don't use your hands, eat slowly!"

Ye Xiao carefully gave the instructions, and then handed over the chopsticks and bowl.

As soon as Ye Xing received the noodles, he quickly shoveled them into his mouth with his chopsticks, which made Ye Xiao a little worried.

"He looks like a starving ghost. I hope he won't be easily lured away with food."

Lan Ling smiled and said, "Why don't you try and see?"

As she spoke, Lan Ling handed over her bowl, "Here, Ye Xing, you can have mine, do you want some?"

The person who was engrossed in eating noodles only glanced up at Lan Ling, then glanced at the bowl in her hand before silently shifting their position towards her.

"..."

Lan Ling twitched her eye and rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao, annoyed. "Looks like you don't need to worry anymore!"

Swish!

Just then, Ye Xing, who had been engrossed in her meal, suddenly stopped. She jumped onto the roof of the car with her bowl in hand and craned her neck to look into the distance.

Seeing her movements, Chen Ge and the others, who were serving noodles, stopped in their tracks. Ye Xiao asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Xing raised his hand and pointed to the corner not far away. Within two seconds, Han Yu and A Zhao spoke up in unison:

"Someone is coming!"

Is someone here? Are there other people here?

Everyone turned their gaze to the alleyway across the street, and sure enough, a few figures emerged from the corner of the alleyway the next second.

These people looked rather suspicious, but their eyes brightened considerably when they saw Ye Xiao and his group.

The newcomers were four men, armed with weapons, who quickly approached Ye Xiao and his group.

Just as they stepped out of the alley, a voice suddenly came from behind them, "Dad!"

The man behind paused, turned around to look behind him, and spoke with a hint of annoyance:

"Tsk, what are you doing here?"

Several more figures emerged from behind the four, including three women, one around twenty years old and the other two probably in their thirties.

The three women did not answer the man's question, but were instead drawn to the fragrance wafting in the air.

Their eyes immediately fell on the large pot placed over the campfire.

Then, he looked at Ye Xiao and the others, who were slurping noodles to the side, with a mixture of envy and greed.

The young woman, around twenty years old, immediately tugged at the man's arm excitedly.

"Dad, it's noodles! They have food!"

The man frowned, looking troubled, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the bowls in Ye Xiao and the others' hands, and he swallowed hard.

"Dad, I'm so hungry! We've been eating leftover expired smoked meat for the past few days, and I'm about to faint from hunger."

The woman's gaze fell on Ye Xing, who was holding a bowl on the roof of the car, and her eyes lit up:

“Look, they even give food to beggars, so they’re sure they’ll share some with us. They certainly don’t lack food.”

The man seemed to have thought of something and said to the three women, "You come with us."

As the group of people who had been whispering to each other for a while turned and walked over here, the comments section was already buzzing with discussion.

[A salted fish can't flip over: Those pairs of green eyes must have come smelling the aroma.]

[Pharaoh Elden: I want to know what clear broth noodles taste like? Do they even have a taste?]

[Coffee symbol: The evil rich man, for someone who has been starving for days, it must smell delicious.]

[Three Foxes: I bet they've come here begging for food.]

[Bei Ming You Yu: They all looked like starving ghosts, their eyes practically glowing green as they stared at the bowl in Xiao Ge's hand.]

[The Heart of Isaac: What do you think these guys will offer in exchange?]

[Stray Cat: Hahaha, a trade? I bet they'll use sob stories and moral blackmail!]
