The small yellow croakers, deep-fried and then braised, were truly explosively delicious.
Su Ling enjoyed the small yellow croakers prepared this way. She took a sip of Sprite and shook her head, "I'm not sure."
Putting down the Sprite, Su Ling continued to eat the small yellow croakers, "Whatever comes, we'll deal with it. No need to worry."
Bai Heqing nodded in agreement, happily gnawing on the pig trotters in her hands.
With food to distract her, she found that the horror movie playing on the tablet wasn't as scary anymore.
Meanwhile, in the fields a certain distance from the RV, the survivors who had intended to sneak in and steal their supplies after Su Ling and the others fell asleep found themselves in a difficult predicament, unable to advance or retreat.
They hadn't expected Su Ling and the others to be so vigilant and to have arranged for a night watch.
This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of their plan to steal supplies.
In the darkness, someone questioned, "Brother Tian, given this situation, should we still proceed?"
They wanted to act, but Su Ling and the others had people on watch.
To simply give up and go back felt incredibly unwilling.
The night was pitch black. They gathered together, their gazes fixed on the faint light in the distance.
The man called Brother Tian fumbled in the darkness for a moment before finally replying to his brothers, "We'll definitely act, but not now. We'll be patient and wait for the latter half of the night."
"Damn it, it's rare to encounter such plump sheep. It would be a shame not to butcher them. Look at how radiant they are, they ate so well for dinner, and they're so relaxed on watch. There must be someone among them who stores supplies."
As Brother Tian spoke, he spat to the side and continued, "When we make our move, don't kill them all at first. Subdue them and find out who the ability users are. If they're willing to surrender, we'll spare them. If not, we'll kill them. As for the women, we'll take them back to the base and have our fun. The women in this group, with their fair and tender skin, are so much better than the women in our base."
Hearing Brother Tian's words, everyone's mouths watered, and they swallowed hard.
Their gazes, directed towards Su Ling and the others, were as if Su Ling and Bai Heqing had already become their prey, waiting to be toyed with.
Brother Tian and his group waited through the first half of the night. They had planned to make their move when Su Ling and Bai Heqing were drowsy in the latter half of the night.
Just as they were preparing to move, an unexpected event occurred.
Skinny and Fatty had woken up and climbed onto the roof to relieve Su Ling and Bai Heqing from their watch.
This scene successfully nipped Brother Tian's plan in the bud.
They could only watch as Su Ling and Bai Heqing climbed down from the roof and entered the RV, disappearing from their sight.
Skinny and Fatty then replaced Su Ling and Bai Heqing to stand guard for the latter half of the night.
After enduring the first half of the night's stakeout, Brother Tian and his group were already feeling weary and uncomfortable.
Now, the other side had changed guards, and it was two men, which undoubtedly made their sneak attack even more difficult.
"Brother Tian, what now?" The person who had spoken earlier broke the silence once again.
They hadn't brought much food with them. After waiting all night, their legs were numb and sore, their stomachs were growling, and they were truly miserable.
Brother Tian glanced unwillingly at the RV in the distance. After much deliberation, he could only say, "Withdraw, let's go back for now. Since they appeared outside Deer City, it means they will eventually enter the city. Once they enter our territory, they'll be lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and we can do whatever we please."
"Those with numb legs, take a moment to recover. Adjust your state and let's withdraw. We need to report this intelligence to the boss and formulate a response. This team is extremely lucrative. We'll make a fortune again, a great harvest!"
