[D-Rank Aerial Eye]

...Life inside the large bed compartment was quite stable and pleasant.

If he wasn't attending to one, he was attending to another.

During the day, someone would give him a massage or treatment, and at night, he would help others with Exorcism.

The utilization rate of the spacious compartment was extremely high.

The temperature inside the Vehicle had stabilized around 20°C, thanks to the geothermal core prototype.

Moreover, during this time.

Chen Yu listed the remaining two geothermal core prototypes on the area channel.

In the context of an icy disaster, this kind of item was the ultimate hard currency.

Trade requests exploded instantly.

【Ding】

【Ding】

Of course, Chen Yu's screening criteria were very straightforward.

Priority was given to bartering, especially for rare items, props, and so on.

In one trade, the other party was a team that claimed to have "emptied a hospital." The negotiation process was very short because Chen Yu immediately agreed after confirming the list.

【Ding】

【Trade Successful】

The medical supplies he received in exchange were ridiculously abundant; just the various antibiotics, anesthetics, and surgical instruments filled three or four large military medical kits.

According to Qiao Xi's assessment, they were all vital medical supplies.

However, the threshold for using them was very high.

There were even some medications that even she had never used; the variety was truly comprehensive.

It seemed that group of people hadn't lied.

But the trade for the other prototype machine didn't go as smoothly.

Many people were bidding in the channel, but few could actually produce hard goods.

Those car owners... were either dirt poor, offering nothing but basic construction materials and a few scraps of food.

Or they were incredibly stingy, trying to trade junk for a life-saving prototype machine—they were dreaming.

Chen Yu frowned as he looked through the offers.

Finally, only one visual-type car owner sent him a private message... offering something different.

【D-Grade Eye of Suspension】

Description: A grayish-white sphere about the size of a fingernail. Inside is a mass of dim mist, and a rhythmic pulse emanates from it from time to time, like a sleeping heart.

Effect: Inject a trace of spirit into the sphere to activate it. Once activated, the sphere enters a hovering vision mode for 8 hours. During this time, you can observe the surroundings of the sphere at any time, with the sphere as the center.

Note: Cooldown time is 72 hours.

There was really no other way; Chen Yu knew clearly that the second stage of Road to Survival was about to open.

The disaster would also change.

If he didn't sell now, he would be waiting for the price to plummet to rock bottom.

As for other surplus supplies, such as the daily crayfish and pure water, he simply sold them off for different kinds of food and drinks.

Chen Yu's personal backpack + Public Backpack were already completely full.

Even using the bundling method, he was stretched thin.

So, it had now progressed to the point where the personal backpacks of the Class Monitor, Deng Yuxin, and others were also filled with precious supplies.

It was worth mentioning that among Chen Yu's many trade lists,

one private message stood out from the rest.

It was from Lin Yue—

【Lin Yue: Chen Yu?】

【Lin Yue: Hey, what are you doing?】

【Lin Yue: The scenery here is so monotonous, only snow and ice.】

【Lin Yue: I can't help but imagine... imagine what it's like in your cabin right now. Is someone allowed to be very close to you? Is Wang Mengmeng looking at you with those clingy eyes again, trying every possible way to stick to your side? And Deng Yuxin, hiding so many damp thoughts...】

【Lin Yue: So disgusting.】

【Lin Yue: Chen Yu, you have to stay clean. Hey, you can't be dirtied by those turbid breaths and those impure touches. You are the most special~】

...A message would come every ten-odd minutes, constant harassment.

Chen Yu couldn't even scroll to the bottom, so he simply closed it.

He fell into thought.

"Brother Chen Yu?"

Wang Mengmeng's cautious voice came from beside him.

"Hmm?"

She bit her lip and leaned in a little closer: "Is that freak Lin Yue harassing you?"

"How do you know?"

"Because she sent me messages too... asking about my relationship with you, and even asking where I touched you. She said everywhere I touched is no longer clean. It's quite creepy..."

"..."

Chen Yu turned his head: "So how did you reply?"

Wang Mengmeng shrunk her neck: "How would I dare to reply? Dr. Qiao said she almost killed Mengyao. Just thinking about how we were in the same cabin before makes my skin crawl. I closed it immediately."

As she spoke, she peeked at Chen Yu's expression and moved even closer to him.

"Brother Chen Yu... I... I'm your person, so I don't care what she says. I'm just... just a little afraid she'll actually find us... You'll protect me, right? I'm being so obedient..."

Chen Yu didn't reply for a long while before finally speaking indifferently: "Go kneel at the door."

"?"

Wang Mengmeng's eyes went wide: "Ah? Brother Chen Yu... I, did I say something wrong?"

She couldn't understand it at all.

She was being so submissive and trying so hard to please him, so why was she being punished?

Chen Yu didn't look at her; his gaze fell on empty space, seemingly checking some panel.

Wang Mengmeng felt both panicked and aggrieved, wanting to act spoiled and beg for mercy.

But seeing Chen Yu's blunt demeanor, those words got stuck in her throat.

"O-Okay, Brother Chen Yu..."

In the end, she slowly got off the bed, moved to the door of the Safety Compartment, and knelt down.

There wasn't much time left

before arriving at the Binhai City safe zone.

Everyone in the Vehicle was a red luan, with varying levels.

And the lowest ones were Wang Mengmeng and Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi was understandable; she had just joined the Vehicle and had no prior connection.

Yet she still reached Level 5 after the physical connection.

【red luan Identified: Qiao Xi】

【red luan Number: 8】

【Connection Type: physiological connection】

【Connection Depth: Lv.5】

【Current Effective Multiplier: 50x】

But what about Wang Mengmeng?

She was still damn well Level 6, even though her words were the sweetest, most loving, and most aggrieved.

Chen Yu didn't stay in the compartment long; he pushed the door open and walked out.

"Chen Yu?"

"Let's not have hot pot today. Let's change it up."

Zhang Wanyue pulled half a side of lamb ribs from the Public Backpack. "Let's have roasted lamb ribs, using that small oven."

Yang Kexin immediately raised her hand: "I'll prep the ribs! The Boning Knife I just came up with will definitely be handy!"

She had already pulled a professional Boning Knife from her personal items, looking eager to try it.

Chen Yu's mouth twitched.

So Yang Kexin created the Boning Knife just to cut lamb ribs... no wonder.

He had heard the Talent notification this morning.

After the Boning Knife was upgraded by the Talent's material enhancement, it became a Giant Boning Knife.

Chen Yu even felt that this thing was better to use than a steel saber.

It weighed 20 pounds and was a meter long; it was more like a human-boning knife.

It seemed he didn't need to deliberately tell her what to make; an occasional burst of inspiration was actually quite good.
