Chapter 90
[D-Rank Eye of Void]

The peaceful days in the cubicle with the double bed were quite nice.
They're either greeting this person or that person.
During the day, she receives massages and treatments, and at night she even helps others exorcise evil spirits.
The spacious cubicles are used very efficiently.
The temperature inside the vehicle has stabilized at around 20°C thanks to the geothermal core prototype.
Moreover, during this period.
Chen Yu then sent out the remaining two geothermal core prototypes via the regional channel.
In the context of an ice age disaster, this kind of thing is the hardest currency among hard currencies.
Transaction requests exploded instantly.

Of course, Chen Yu's selection criteria were very straightforward.
Prioritize bartering, especially for scarce items and props.
In one of the transactions, the other party was a team that claimed to have "emptied the hospital." The negotiation process was very short because Chen Yu agreed immediately after confirming the list.
【Ding】
【Successful transaction】
The amount of medical supplies they received in exchange was outrageous; various antibiotics, anesthetics, and surgical instruments alone filled three or four large military medical kits.
Josh determined that they were all essential medical supplies.
However, it has an extremely high barrier to entry.
There were even some medications that she had never used before, making it a comprehensive selection.
It seems those people weren't lying.
However, the deal for the other prototype did not go so smoothly.
There are many bidders in the channel, but few can actually offer something of real quality.
The owners of those vehicles...
They were either dirt poor, with only basic building materials and scraps of food to eat.
Either they're incredibly stingy, trying to trade a piece of junk for a prototype to save their lives—what a pipe dream.
Chen Yu frowned as he looked at it.
Finally, only one car owner with a keen eye for visual appeal messaged him privately...
They brought out something different.
[D-Rank Aerial Eye]
Description: A grayish-white sphere about the size of a fingernail, containing a dark mist that occasionally pulsates rhythmically, like a sleeping heart.
Effect: Activated by injecting a trace of spiritual energy into the sphere. Once activated, the sphere enters the aerial field of vision for 8 hours. During this period, one can observe the vicinity of the sphere at any time, using it as the center.
Note: Cooldown time is 72 hours.
With no other options, Chen Yu knew that the second phase of his survival journey was about to begin.
Disasters can also be unpredictable.
If you don't act now, you're just waiting for prices to plummet and you'll be ripped off.
As for other surplus supplies, such as the daily crayfish and bottled water, they were simply sold off to exchange for different foods and drinks.
Chen Yu's personal backpack plus the shared backpack were no longer enough.
Even using the binding method, it's still insufficient.
Therefore, it has now developed to the point where...
The backpacks of the student committee member, Deng Yuxin, and others were also filled with valuable supplies.
It is worth mentioning that this is among Chen Yu's many transactions.
One private chat stands out from the crowd.
From Lin Yue —
[Lin Yue: Chen Yu?]
[Lin Yue: Hey, what are you doing?]
[Lin Yue: The scenery here is so monotonous, just snow and ice.]
[Lin Yue: I can't help but imagine...imagine what you're like in the train carriage right now. Is someone able to get very close to you? Is Wang Mengmeng looking at you with those sticky eyes again, trying every way to get close to you? And Deng Yuxin, hiding so many wet thoughts...]
[Lin Yue: How disgusting.]
Lin Yue: Chen Yu, you need to stay clean, okay? You can't let those murky breaths or impure touches get you dirty. You're the most special one~
...
...
They send one message every ten minutes or so, constantly harassing you.
Chen Yu couldn't scroll to the bottom at all, so he simply closed it.
He was lost in thought.
"Brother Chen Yu?"
Wang Mengmeng's cautious voice came from the side.
"Um?"
She bit her lip and leaned closer: "Is that pervert Lin Yue harassing you?"
How did you know?
"Because she also messaged me... asking about our relationship, and also asking where I touched you, saying the places I touched weren't clean anymore, which was pretty creepy..."
"..."
Chen Yu turned his head: "So what did you reply?"
Wang Mengmeng shrank back: "How could I dare to answer? Dr. Qiao said she almost killed Mengyao. Just thinking about how we were in the same carriage before gives me the creeps, so I quickly turned it off."
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Chen Yu's expression and moved closer to him.
"Brother Chen Yu... I... I'm your person, I don't care what she says. I'm just... just a little afraid she'll really come looking for me... You'll protect me, right? I'm being so obedient..."
Chen Yu didn't reply for a long while before finally speaking calmly, "Go kneel at the door."
"?"
Wang Mengmeng's eyes widened: "Huh? Brother Chen Yu...did I...did I say something wrong?"
She couldn't understand it at all.
Why did I get punished for being so obedient and trying so hard to please him?
Chen Yu didn't look at her; his gaze was fixed on an empty space, as if he were checking some kind of panel.
Wang Mengmeng felt flustered and aggrieved, and wanted to beg for forgiveness by acting cute.
But Chen Yu's straight-man demeanor made those words stuck in his throat.
"Okay, okay, Brother Chen Yu..."
Finally, she slowly got off the bed, moved to the door of the safety cubicle, and knelt down.
We are close to reaching the safe zone of the coastal city.
There's not much time left.
The entire carriage was decorated with red phoenixes, of varying ranks.
The lowest are Wang Mengmeng and Qiao Xi.
Josh could understand; he had just gotten on the bus and had never known anything about it before.
But they still reached level 5 after physically connecting.
[Red Phoenix has been identified: Josh]
[Red Phoenix Number: 8]
[Connectivity Characteristics: Physiological Connectivity]
[Connection Depth: Lv.5]
[Current effective multiplier: 50x]
But what about Wang Mengmeng?
She's only at level 6, and all she talks about is how sweet, loving, and wronged she is.
Chen Yu didn't stay in the cubicle for long and pushed the door open to come out.
"Chen Yu?"
"Let's skip the hot pot today and try something different."
Zhang Wanyue pulled out half a lamb chop from the communal backpack. "Let's roast the lamb chops in that little oven."
Yang Kexin immediately raised her hand: "I'll handle the lamb chops! My newly designed boning knife will definitely be easy to use!"
She had already pulled out a professional boning knife from her personal belongings, eager to try it out.
Chen Yu's lips twitched.
It turns out that Yang Kexin made the boning knife to cut lamb chops...
No wonder.
I heard a hint about talent this morning.
After being upgraded by the innate material, the boning knife became a giant boning knife.
Chen Yu even felt that this thing was better than a steel knife.
Weighing 20 pounds and measuring one meter in length, it's practically a knife for slicing people.
It seems there's no need for me to go and deliberately instruct her on how to make it; it's actually quite good when inspiration strikes occasionally.
