Chapter 683: What the Hell Do You Idiots Know About My Intentions

Chen Hao had been out of contact for quite some time.

Hearing his voice, everyone felt slightly relieved.

"Damn, you little..."

Before Dantai Bie could even ask out of curiosity, Gong Yong's voice came through quietly.

Perhaps it was because so much time had passed without any unusual incidents.

As a result, everyone dared to speak again now.

But their voices were still very low, as if they were acting like thieves.

"Cough, cough... I actually gave Chen Hao a pair of earbuds too!"

"After my research, I've already made some upgrades to the Bluetooth earbuds. The communication range is longer than before, and the standby time is extended..."

Gong Yong seemed to be deliberately showing off his achievements, actually starting to ramble on at this moment.

Perhaps it was because of being Sequence 4.

Although this guy's combat ability wasn't particularly notable, his resistance to the side effects of Anomalies was quite strong.

Therefore, his tone remained relatively calm.

On normal days, during battles, this guy had a very low presence.

At times like this, he was worried that everyone had forgotten about his contributions!

"Stop right there, cut the nonsense!"

Chen Ye unceremoniously interrupted Gong Yong's attempt to take credit.

This made Gong Yong on the other end gnash his teeth in anger.

Chen Ye, always Chen Ye, you bastard, just you wait... wait...

Of course, Gong Yong wouldn't dare say that out loud now.

His courage appeared randomly, and every time it did, it never lasted very long.

"Chen Hao, you've had earbuds this whole time, why didn't you say anything before?"

Dantai Bie quickly asked.

Having stayed silent for so long, this guy was dying to talk.

He had to find a chance to jump into the conversation, otherwise if someone else took over the topic, he wouldn't get another opportunity...

"I... I talk... talk..."

Listening to Chen Hao speak was always painful.

A normal person could finish a sentence in one or two seconds, or three or four seconds for longer ones.

This guy could take a full minute to say one sentence.

Luckily, more than one person understood Chen Hao. Chen Ye directly interjected, "Are you trying to say that you stutter when you speak, so you felt embarrassed to join the conversation, right?"

"Ri... right..."

No one could see Chen Hao, but they could imagine him frantically nodding his head right now.

Still, everyone's mouths twitched slightly.

This guy...

Alright, that reason was fairly normal.

"But Chen Hao, aren't you the one who always prides yourself on being a saint? Why didn't you step in to save people just now?"

Chen Ye teased.

Actually, it wasn't really teasing anymore. It was more like directly rubbing salt into Chen Hao's wounds.

A saint?

Who could still be a saint in this era?

Saints all died out long ago.

Well, Chen Hao counted as one.

If Chen Hao didn't change his personality, he would end up dead out there sooner or later.

The moment Chen Ye said this.

Chen Hao's entire face turned red. The man sitting in that Merry Little Prince pushed up his glasses wrapped in tape, so anxious his face was flushed red.

He wanted to retort against Chen Ye, but the more anxious he got, the less he could get the words out.

"I... I... I..."

He said "I" three times in a row, and you could hear how agitated he was.

"Yezi, stop bullying him. Chen Hao probably sealed all his vehicle windows shut and didn't see anything..."

"Or maybe he didn't have time. Didn't none of us make a move either!"

Chu Che spoke up to defend Chen Hao.

He probably couldn't stand watching Chen Ye bully a stutterer.

Chen Ye curled his lips...

What the hell do you idiots know about my intentions!

"Chen Hao, you're speaking now. Is there something you need to tell us?"

"No... no... just... seeing... you all... safe... is... enough!"

Chen Hao said stutteringly.

A few days ago, Chen Hao and that Little Fatty went out every day to clear Anomalies.

The Great Shun Dynasty Convoy only had two Superhumans.

One was that Little Fatty, and the other was Chen Hao.

Naturally, Chen Hao was the one doing all the heavy lifting.

This guy was bound hand and foot by the oath he had made back then.

And he was also held hostage by his own saint-like conscience.

Therefore, every day when he returned from Xi City, Chen Hao was practically exhausted.

So he rarely communicated much with the Fair Convoy side.

Everyone only knew that this guy went out early and came back late every day. Though no one asked about the specifics, they could probably guess what was going on.

Thinking about this guy's situation, everyone was furious.

In any case, everyone just stopped going to him to avoid getting upset.

"Ugh... I wonder how much longer this kind of situation will last!"

"The Silent Council said at least three days, at most a week!"

"Three days, oh my god, forget three days, I can't even take one day!"

"..."

The channel quickly became lively.

Everyone was chattering away, one after another, very animated.

But they were obviously keeping their voices down.

In such a boring situation, being able to chat with everyone to pass the time was undoubtedly a beacon of light in the darkness.

"I wonder where these things are going! And where they came from!"

"Who knows, maybe it's like animal migration? Them coming out of the sea is just one of their living habits?"

"That's possible! But there's something I'm curious about. How did the Silent Council know about this sea anomaly uprising in advance?"

"It should be the pathfinder's ability, right? Squad Leader Chu, didn't you sense the sea anomalies coming ashore beforehand?"

Dantai Bie was the most active one in the chat channel.

Once he started talking, he basically never stopped chattering.

"Seawater has a strong suppressive effect on the pathfinder's sensory abilities. I could only vaguely sense some Anomaly auras, but I couldn't pinpoint their existence as precisely as I can on land."

Chu Che's lowered voice came through the radio.

Gong Yong's voice chimed in, "The Silent Council probably has monitoring equipment or something. They should also have Mechanic Sequence Superhumans in their council..."

"Or maybe other means. As long as there's a Mechanic Superhuman, a lot of impossible things become possible..."

Gong Yong rationally analyzed the possibilities, approaching the issue from the perspective of a Mechanic Superhuman.

Actually, if he were given enough resources and time, he could also make something similar and toss it into the sea to monitor what was happening underwater.

"Who knows, maybe the Silent Council has a Superhuman with precognition abilities!"

Dantai Bie said seriously after thinking for a moment.

"Precognition? Stop with that nonsense. If they really had that kind of power, wouldn't they be almost like gods?"

Gong Yong sneered. As a science and engineering guy, Gong Yong absolutely refused to believe that beings like gods existed.

Dantai Bie immediately retorted, "Superhumans exist, Anomalies exist, why can't gods exist?"

"Heh... have you lost your mind living through this apocalypse? Gods? Why don't you just say immortals, demons, and monsters are all real?"

"Why is that impossible? Even dragons exist, and that big fellow in Mist River..."

Unexpectedly, Gong Yong and Dantai Bie actually started going at each other in the channel.

Although Gong Yong was somewhat afraid of Chen Ye, one reason was that Chen Ye really did look fierce and terrifying.

The second reason was that he himself didn't know why.

However, Gong Yong's fear of Chen Ye was gradually improving.

But when it came to other people in the convoy, Gong Yong had long lost any fear of them.

As for Dantai Bie, fine, let them argue. Gong Yong didn't believe a reserve member would dare lay a hand on an official member like him anyway.

Both of them were arguing in lowered voices.

It was quite lively for a while.

No one else bothered to break it up.

If they wanted to argue, let them argue.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Chen Ye didn't eat that bowl of cold food.

Superhumans were quite resistant to hunger anyway. When there was no fighting to be done, saving a bit was better than nothing.

He glanced at the digital watch on his wrist.

It was already eight in the morning.

Under normal circumstances, at eight in the morning, the people in the convoy would have long been up and getting ready.

But now, the entire base was still dead silent, without a single sound of living breath.

Only footsteps could be heard from outside the vehicles.

Chen Ye walked to the window, quietly lifting a corner of it, wanting to see what was going on outside.

Maybe those things had already started leaving?

He only lifted a tiny corner.

Frost had already formed on the window, and the cold air had frozen the old clothes sealing the window to the glass.

A faint sliver of weak light shone in from outside.

Chen Ye peered out through the gap he had lifted.
