A circle of wooden fencing surrounded the entire Divine Elephant Village.

A cool breeze blew past from time to time, refreshing one's mind and spirit.

Looking at the white clouds so close you could almost touch them gave a feeling of immense peace and delight.

Especially when seeing the expanse of lush green vegetable fields before them, those green or yellow vegetables made people unable to help but swallow their saliva.

Not far away, there was even an apple tree, and those bright red apples made even Chen Ye unable to resist gulping.

Chen Ye didn't particularly like eating apples, but seeing that tree full of crimson apples now, he still couldn't stop himself from swallowing.

Since the apocalypse began until now, they had rarely even eaten vegetables, let alone fruit.

Not far away, there was also a field of wheat that had just ripened, golden wheat swaying gently in the breeze.

A few people were laboring in the fields.

From time to time, the angry curses of that irritable old man could be heard.

It made Chen Ye click his tongue in surprise.

That old man's voice was plenty loud, and full of vigor. Those being cursed just bowed and scraped, not getting angry at all, still showing a great deal of respect towards the old man.

Big Head Village Chief took the group on a tour of the entire Divine Elephant Village.

Their long period of migratory life gave the group a surreal feeling of being in a different world.

Although the villagers' clothes were a mishmash, even looking somewhat grubby, at least everyone's mental state seemed pretty good.

Moreover, everyone had their own tasks to do.

For example, quite a few people were tending to that farmland they had just seen.

The village even raised some chickens and ducks, very few in number, and they didn't look very lively either, each one skinny as a rail.

Probably due to scarce resources, with not much food even for people, it was even less likely to be fed to these chickens and ducks.

Although there were fields and vegetable plots, those had to supply the entire village and simply weren't enough.

"Our village can only barely manage to this extent at present."

"Every so often, we also organize people to go down and gather supplies, but nowadays supplies are getting scarcer and harder to collect."

"Many items have already expired."

"If it weren't for Professor Liu, we'd probably have starved to death long ago, and couldn't have supported the village to survive until now..."

This Big Head Village Chief rambled on about all the village's affairs, big and small.

He gave off a very sincere impression.

As if he had no intention whatsoever of hiding anything from Chen Ye and the others.

In the evening, Divine Elephant Village held a simple welcome banquet.

No choice, holding a large welcome banquet also required supplies.

In the current situation, there simply wasn't enough to hold a large banquet.

However, Chu Che was quite generous, having people bring thirty catties of fish meat, fifty catties of expired rice, and fifty catties of expired flour to support this welcome banquet.

He even took out two bottles of baijiu.

This made Big Head Village Chief very grateful.

After all, supporting a banquet for forty people would be somewhat of a strain even for Divine Elephant Village.

Chu Che's donation made this banquet look a bit less pitiful.

Especially those two bottles of baijiu, they practically made this Big Head Village Chief's eyes narrow into slits.

You have to understand, when going out to gather supplies, everyone's main targets were food like rice and flour.

Cigarettes and baijiu were much easier to overlook.

This led to these things becoming even more precious!

Even someone as esteemed as the village chief probably hadn't smelled alcohol in a long time.

The banquet was held outdoors in the village's large square.

Clearly, this large square was also the place where Divine Elephant Village's villagers held collective activities.

Every villager contributed the tables, chairs, and benches from their homes.

All the village's prominent figures attended.

Of course, some ordinary villagers simply didn't have the qualifications to participate in this humble banquet.

That village chief assistant called Xiao Zheng even organized a welcome ceremony.

During it, a woman in an evening gown stood confidently in the middle of the square.

When the convoy's survivors saw this woman, a minor commotion broke out on their side.

"My god, it's Su Mansheng! It's really Su Mansheng!"

"Who's Su Mansheng? That name sounds familiar."

"Bro, you don't even know Su Mansheng? The goddess of otaku! Have you heard of 'Midnight Voice'?"

"You mean that internet-famous female broadcaster?"

"Holy crap, it's really her! My dear mother, I never thought I'd live to see the day Su Mansheng would host for us. I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied!"

"Are you dreaming? You think Su Mansheng is here because of you? She's here because of Chen Ye, Squad Leader Chu, them. A woman like this isn't someone you can covet!"

Chen Ye didn't recognize this woman at first either, he just thought she was good-looking and had great poise, looking just like those hosts from TV programs.

And her hosting voice was very pleasant to listen to.

After hearing the discussions around him, Chen Ye finally remembered.

Before the apocalypse, there was a very popular radio program.

You have to understand, that was an era dominated by short videos. For a radio program to suddenly rise to prominence was truly rare.

The main reason was a program called "Midnight Voice."

The female broadcaster in the program had a chameleon-like voice. When she used a mature, domineering sister tone, it made people's hearts itch. When she used a loli tone, it made people's mouths unconsciously curl up.

Elderly voices, young girl voices, male voices—she could do them all, and master them all.

There was nothing she couldn't do!

It was precisely because of her appearance that radio, which was about to disappear into the river of history, experienced a brief, final flicker of life.

Later, someone found her short video account.

This female broadcaster named Su Mansheng quickly gained tens of millions of followers.

Amid the calls of her millions of fans, this female broadcaster finally recorded a video showing her face.

Who would have thought it would instantly trend on hot searches.

Usually, these kinds of 'voice monster' talents mostly just have nice voices. If you let your imagination run wild about them, you'd be greatly disappointed.

But this Su Mansheng was different. Not only did she have a great voice, but her figure and looks were also one in ten thousand.

Compared to that quasi-female internet celebrity Xue Nan, Su Mansheng's explosive popularity was far more legendary.

Who would have thought this legendary female broadcaster would appear here.

For a moment, the surrounding discussions were incessant.

It wasn't until Su Mansheng left that these discussions finally died down.

What was worth mentioning were the dishes at the banquet.

Although they were all homestyle dishes, in an apocalypse where eating a hot meal was a luxury, having a table full of homestyle dishes was already extremely rare.

Seeing the fish meat at the banquet, the villagers also couldn't help but gulp repeatedly.

In contrast, the survivors from the convoy side looked rather unenthusiastic.

Their meals for the past few days had all been fish meat;they had eaten plenty of it already.

During the meal, Chen Ye did discover a few vegetable dishes.

Especially one dish of roasted potatoes, which had a unique flavor when eaten.

The potatoes collected back in Longevity Village had been finished long ago.

There was also a dish of stir-fried lettuce stems, which tasted fresh and fragrant.

There were several other vegetarian dishes, all of which made Chen Ye's mouth water.

There was even a small bowl of rice.

Not the expired rice Chen Ye and the others had collected.

But... fresh rice!!!

Just smelling its aroma gave people a tearful sense of happiness.

These things were very ordinary before the apocalypse, but now, each and every one was an extremely precious treasure.

Of course, although these vegetarian dishes were varied in type, the portion for each person was very small.

But they were extremely refined. Although each small bowl contained just a little bit, a full table was laid out before each person.

That's right, the banquet used a divided meal system.

The survivors received even smaller portions.

But everyone ate with great relish.

Chu Che and Big Head Village Chief, however, were chatting animatedly.

One of the purposes of this contact between the two sides was to exchange information, to share their respective experiences, so they could avoid making unnecessary mistakes during future migrations.

"Captain Chu, did you come from Fog City?"

"Yes, Village Chief, have you also been to Fog City?"

When Big Head Village Chief mentioned Fog City, a flicker of fear crossed his face: "We passed by that area. There's a great serpent in Mist River. Good heavens, if it weren't for the Divine Elephant, we probably wouldn't have survived."

Hearing the mention of the great serpent, Chen Ye pricked up his ears to listen.

The others were the same, all quieting down to listen to the two leaders start their conversation.

Regarding the matter of the great serpent, the Pink-haired Girl and the others had only heard Chen Ye mention it, and also witnessed that scene when they were finally leaving Fog City.

"Village Chief also encountered the great serpent in Mist River?"

"Absolutely. Our Divine Elephant Village lacks everything—medicine, daily necessities, clothes, tools. Some time ago, we planned to go to Fog City to gather some supplies."

"But Fog City was buried in thick fog. Pathfinder Zhan and Master Dashan took several villagers and went together."
