"Hey, go cook!"

Chen Ye said with a cigarette in his mouth, kicking the man who was trembling in the truck bed.

This man didn't look familiar and was wearing a black robe of the Death God followers.

Clearly, he was one of the Death God followers.

There had been seven or eight people in the truck bed earlier, all dead except this one. You had to admit this man's luck was really good.

The man raised his eyes but saw only white smoke. Apart from these words, he couldn't hear any other sounds, and his nose couldn't smell anything either.

If not for the solid feeling under his feet, the man might have thought he was in another dimension.

The Absolute Aura Concealment could block vision, hearing, smell, taste, and perception.

Except for Chen Ye, anyone entering the smoke mist area would become like a blind and deaf person.

Even Anomalies couldn't avoid this effect.

Superhumans would experience strong discomfort in such an environment, let alone ordinary people.

Ordinary people simply couldn't stay in such conditions for long periods.

The Absolute Aura Concealment was absolutely not a suitable environment for human survival.

This was also why the smoke mist couldn't replace Chu Che's Concealment Barrier.

Therefore, this ability was highly practical—not only could it evade Anomalies, but it could also be used for offense at critical moments.

Before the man could panic, the smoke dissipated, revealing Chen Ye standing before him.

The man certainly recognized Chen Ye. Back at the Second Elementary School, the few Sequence Superpowers had been the focus of attention, and no one didn't know them.

"If you want to live, you need to prove your worth. Do you want me to throw you out, or do you want to go cook?"

"Don't throw me out, don't throw me out! I'll cook!"

The man quickly said in panic.

After speaking, the man hastily jumped down from the vehicle and began working frantically.

Up until now, Chen Ye had barely eaten anything and his stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time.

Of course, Chen Ye could use canned food or other things as substitutes.

But hey, since there was someone he could order around, why bother suffering himself?

After advancing to Sequence 2, his resistance to extreme cold had improved significantly, but there was still quite a gap compared to Iron Lion's completely unaffected physique.

In this weather, being able to eat something hot would be pure luxury.

He had saved this man, so having him prove his worth—Chen Ye didn't see anything wrong with that.

When he got in the vehicle earlier, Chen Ye had noticed supplies in the back seat of the cabin out of the corner of his eye.

Previously, when they went to search for gasoline, to be able to carry more fuel, all the supplies on the vehicle had been unloaded.

Then last night after returning from Wu Jianshan's office, Chu Che had mentioned to Chen Ye that there were supplies on the vehicle.

At that time, Chen Ye's mind was completely occupied with the impending crisis and he hadn't paid attention.

He never expected there would be so much.

No wonder Chu Che had been mysteriously going out those few nights.

Probably Captain Chu Che had secretly prepared these with a few survivors.

Seeing these supplies, Chen Ye couldn't help but admire Chu Che.

As the captain, he had made all preparations long ago.

When Chen Ye was going out to train and asked Chu Che what he was going out for, the guy wouldn't say anything.

Probably the other vehicles also had supplies that Chu Che had secretly prepared.

This captain... was really something!

He would never say "what use are you" again.

The man climbed down from the vehicle.

The smoke once again covered the vehicle and Chen Ye's entire body.

Without a pathfinder nearby, exposing living aura in an unknown environment was very dangerous.

The man scrambled down from the vehicle and began searching the surroundings for dry branches or other things that could be used to start a fire for cooking.

The apocalypse had been going on for a long time, and there were no longer people who acted recklessly based on their pre-apocalypse status.

Everyone clearly understood that the apocalypse had arrived, social order had been broken, and returning to the previous civilized world would be very difficult.

In this current society, danger was everywhere, and the strong ruled.

Therefore, the man didn't dare hesitate even slightly regarding Chen Ye's command.

Seeing the smoke mist restore again, a flash of envy appeared in the man's eyes.

Then he let out a long sigh.

Before the apocalypse, this kind of small fry would have had difficulty even meeting him, but now, he didn't dare breathe heavily in front of him.

Although the heavy snow had stopped, walking in such snowy conditions was still somewhat difficult.

But fortunately, snowy ground was different from the desert.

Finding kindling in the desert was difficult, but around snowy areas, vegetation was quite lush—it just required more effort to find these things.

However, while searching for kindling, the man kept constantly looking around, as if afraid of seeing those Anomaly figures.

He wasn't an idiot—he knew exactly how dangerous the wilderness was during the apocalypse.

If not for Chen Ye's threat, he would never have been willing to come out.

As for Chen Ye, after scanning the surroundings once, he didn't detect any dangerous situations emerging.

With the Absolute Aura Concealment mist, his safety was somewhat guaranteed.

But the man who went out to gather firewood might be in danger.

However, the living aura of one person probably wouldn't attract the attention of Anomalies.

Only then did Chen Ye relax slightly.

Thinking about this trip to Rong City, especially the God Worshipper Wu Jianshan, left an extremely deep impression on Chen Ye.

After Wu Jianshan's death, Chen Ye's memories had recovered—he did indeed have a very close brother.

But this brother wasn't as tall as Wu Jianshan, nor as thin, and definitely didn't look like Wu Jianshan.

This was probably some ability of Wu Jianshan's, merging someone from his memories with himself.

Actually, he had noticed clues several times.

But he had been constantly influenced by some inexplicable energy.

Probably that was Wu Jianshan's ability.

You had to admit, Wu Jianshan's ability was truly terrifying.

Just look at Sun Xixi, Ding Dong, and Iron Lion—the three of them proved it.

A complete stranger, because of some special ability, becomes the person you trust most, and you're completely unguarded against him.

Just thinking about it was frightening.

But fortunately, this ability seemed basically ineffective against him.

He had even managed to get quite a lot of benefits from Wu Jianshan because of this identity.

It didn't seem very effective against Chu Che either.

This guy looked honest with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he actually had plenty of cunning!

However, the God Worshipper was just too overpoweringly strong. Even when Chen Ye advanced to Sequence 3, he probably wouldn't be a match for that Eight-Limbed Human Face.

But the God Worshipper could handle it, and even dominate it!

It was enough to make you die of envy.

Still, Wu Jianshan had died by his hand.

The Smoke Apostle Sequence 1 had been unremarkable, only starting to show its power at Sequence 2.

The Sequence 2 ability hadn't disappointed him.

If not for his Sequence 2 ability, the smoke clone, being too bizarre, they probably would have been wiped out this time.

"Three Days One Qi: Return to Smoke" was the Mist Barrier Master's second exclusive ability at Sequence 2.

This ability wasn't just as simple as having an extra life.

The person killed by the Death God was Chen Ye himself, not some substitute or anything.

It was just that after being killed, this ability was triggered, his body was replaced by smoke, forming smoke that dissipated.

Chen Ye returned to his position and state from one minute earlier.

This was the terrifying aspect of this ability.

One minute earlier, Chen Ye had been hiding in that dark corner, right where Wu Jianshan happened to be nearby.

At that time, the smoke mist there hadn't dissipated yet, and after upgrading, it also had the effect of Absolute Aura Concealment.

Therefore, even someone as perceptive as the Death God couldn't detect it.

Wu Jianshan certainly didn't detect it either.

This led to Chen Ye's unexpected strike.

"Three Days One Qi" meant it took three days to condense one instance.

"Qi" referred to the clone.

"Return to Smoke" meant the clone transformed into smoke and dissipated.

The character "Return" also represented returning to the previous position and state.

Chen Ye used these two skills in coordination to kill Wu Jianshan.
