Zhou You decided to drive and meet up with Shao Qi. Upon arrival, he found that both had disguised themselves. They exchanged glances, holding back chuckles.

Shao Qi approached and embraced him, examining him from all angles, "Impressive! Your makeup's done well, taking off a decade from your face."

"I can also do female makeup. Care to give it a try?"

"With my physique? Probably not. But you could try dressing in women's clothing. Surely no one would recognize you."

Zhou You pushed him away, saying, "That man's extremely cautious. He's changed his disguise multiple times and even had me drive ahead. Are we waiting here? I'm unsure if he'll take this route."

"He has to meet up with those people eventually. That group just passed here. They should rendezvous before nightfall, or it's perilous for anyone to be alone outdoors."

Shao Qi gestured for them to get in the vehicle, leading them onto a side road. They then followed the red dot on the navigation system, ensuring they neither lost the signal nor were discovered.

Zhou You learned that Shao Qi had planted a tracker on the enemy convoy, giving a thumbs up, "Impressive."

"It's just a piece of cake. This tracker is a type of micro-robot that auto-tracks and records audio. Conventional detectors can't spot it. If it's found, it self-destructs. For now, only the military uses it."

"Sounds advanced. How potent is its explosion?"

"Enough to destroy a car."

After driving for hours, Shao Qi finally spotted the convoy halting. The map indicated they were stopping at a supply station, newly built since the previous one was destroyed by mutant creatures last year.

"Let's hold off approaching," said Shao Qi. They parked the vehicle in a small grove. After handling a few isolated mutants, they grabbed a bite and then sneaked up to the main road.

Half an hour later, they saw a car approaching. Zhou You frowned, "The license plate is different, and the car's decorations are altered. It's hard to confirm without seeing the occupants."

"Given his cautious nature, he might have modified the car's appearance. To be sure it's him, we just need to follow."

The proximity to the supply station meant most vehicles would stay overnight. As expected, the car parked there.

A man stepped out, and as he met another individual, they passed each other without exchanging words. But as they brushed past, the man in the jacket slightly lifted his arm.

Zhou You, with unwavering focus, observed a small object transferred from the jacketed man's hand to the other's pocket.

If Zhou You hadn't been watching so intently, that subtle exchange would've gone unnoticed.

He informed Shao Qi, "We only need to nab the guy in white. Any ideas on how to take him without alerting others?"

"What's your plan? Why not just confront them directly?"

Zhou You shook his head, "I want to know where they're delivering. Aren't you curious? I plan to switch out whatever they're transporting. They're just couriers; they likely don't know the contents. We just need to swap the core." This decision was made after learning about the tracker robot.

The man in white went outside to relieve himself before heading back inside.

The trio exchanged glances and drove their vehicles closer, soon parking right outside the supply station.

Inside, all chatter ceased at their arrival.

The three entered, each carrying a large backpack, looking ready for business. Zhou You scanned the hall, spotting the man in white at a corner while a group gambled nearby. There was no sign of Mr. Li, but considering his knack for disguise, it wasn’t surprising.

Zhou You suspected that even the face he showed to the Ren siblings wasn’t his real appearance.

Zhou You refrained from using his psychic abilities; with so many people around, any psychic might detect him.

This supply station operated self-serve. Food was stored in cabinets. Customers placed orders at the counter, paid, and collected their purchases. Besides food, they offered household items, fuel, and tools.

Long Gan bought three boxes of self-heating rice. One of the gamblers curiously inquired, "Are you guys coming from the outside?"

Zhou You promptly replied, "Yes. Our team planned to hunt on the outskirts of Yun Lan Mountains, but we encountered a swarm of fierce insects. Out of our large group, only the three of us survived. If you're headed that way, be cautious."

"But you both don't seem to be in much distress, nor do you appear to be particularly saddened."

"We haven't ventured into the mountains yet. We left the base a few days ago and drove away the moment we saw the swarm. No one followed us, so they must've met with some misfortune. As for feeling sorrowful, those of us who've long been wandering have grown accustomed to such things."

"You must be very unlucky then. Had you departed a few days later, perhaps none of this would have happened."

"What do you mean by that?" Zhou You looked puzzled and even took a fruit from his backpack to offer to the other person.

"This fruit grows exclusively at the base of the Yunlan Mountain Range. It seems they're telling the truth. Just a few days ago, similar insects swarmed the base. The military had to intervene, and it was a significant effort to fend them off."

Zhou You, showing immense interest, quickly ate some rice and then walked over to sit behind the group, inquiring, "Can you tell me more about it? I want to know if it's the same kind we encountered."

The young man, Zhou You, looked rather naive, with clear eyes. Being quite slender and short, others often mistook him for a wealthy young master out for some fun.
