After unloading the live horses, the entire war chariot became much more spacious.

The main reason was the eight young horses that took up too much space. Once the two auxiliary tricycles were emptied, each could hold over a ton of goods.

After transferring most of the piled-up enhanced jerky from the war chariot, there was finally a place where one could lie down.

The return journey took more than ten hours, where the five people in the back were cramped in the tiny space, as if they were squeezed into a green train.

However, more important than comfortably lying down to rest now was to offload the entire load of jerky and exchange it for the materials and equipment the team needed.

To prepare for the mission at the ruins after Holy Spring Day.

After obtaining the opportunity from Father Su An to go to Oasis, upon returning, Lin Feng announced to everyone the good news that Holy Spring Village directly ordered a ton of enhanced meat. He then rode a tricycle loaded with jerky to the logistics department.

There, he met the second assistant priest of the village.

Unlike the previous assistant priest in charge of evolution surgery, this assistant priest was a rarely seen female, with a part of her black robe featuring white fabric, somewhat resembling a medieval nun's outfit.

Conservative and proper, that is.

Moreover, this assistant priest was a bit older, with her aura fluctuating around the early stages of Tier One. Her face was full of fine lines, but her features were delicate, probably very pretty when young.

After Lin Feng explained his intentions, the female assistant priest called in two cultivators and another technical assistant priest to verify the Level 9 enhanced meat on the tricycle.

After confirming there were no errors, they swiftly signed a special procurement invoice of the Holy Spring Sect for Lin Feng, along with six silver church-exclusive points cards.

They were imprinted with the number 1000.

"Take this invoice to the guild and find the manager of the Holy Spring Village shop. He will help you exchange it for six thousand points."

Said the assistant priest after weighing a ton of jerky.

Lin Feng nodded to express his gratitude after receiving the points card.

It certainly helps to know people.

Riding the now mostly empty tricycle, he returned to the encampment.

On the way, he happened to encounter students getting out of class.

Because today was Holy Spring Day, school was dismissed at noon. Students could stay on campus or return to their homes in the other four villages.

Just return to school before the end of Holy Spring Day.

Taking a day off every two weeks doesn't seem too bad; compared to the brutal wasteland, spending a carefree childhood in Holy Spring Village is already better than 99% of human survivors.

Lin Feng always thought Holy Spring Village was a closed school, after all, its purpose is to continuously cultivate and supply new forces for the Holy Spring Sect.

If one could go out once every two weeks, it's somewhat acceptable to the permanent residents of the other four villages.

And within Oasis Town, the only safe and stable upward mobility channel is likely the church school established in Holy Spring Village.

All other paths are hard-earned with one's life.

However, Lin Feng saw that there weren't many students leaving school as he rode forward on his bike.

Firstly, staying could mean an extra meal, and secondly, most students were orphans or newly awakened survivors.

The school and church were home to them.

Lin Feng soon spotted a familiar face, Old Huang's son, Huang Xinming, who was saying goodbye to his small group; today, he planned to return home, and Old Huang personally came to pick him up by car.

At this time, the four kids also noticed Lin Feng.

After all, the tricycle was quite conspicuous in the village.

So Lin Feng called Huang Xinming over, took a ten-kilogram piece from the excess jerky after settling in the cargo hold, and put it in Huang Xinming's cloth bag:

"A gift for your dad, make sure to hold onto it."

Huang Xinming, overwhelmed with favor, nodded his thanks and happily skipped towards the village entrance.

Old Huang had previously taken good care of Lin Feng and the others, especially when they first arrived on Holy Spring Day, helping them solve their lodging problem.

Now that Lin Feng and others were successful, a little ordinary Level 9 jerky was just a token of gratitude.

Ten kilograms of jerky was enough for Old Huang to regain his condition and energy, extend his lifespan by several years, or support a Late-stage Enhanced Person as an assistant.

Converted to fifty or sixty points, it was a considerable income for those at the bottom of Fifth Village.

Of course, Lin Feng could give more, Chen Shanshan also received a lot of care from Old Huang over the years, but everything has a limit, sending ten kilograms was a grand gift…

A hundred kilograms would be a great disaster.

It would easily draw attention and bring disaster.

After seeing off the little guy, the small group dispersed to eat, and Lin Feng was about to leave when he suddenly noticed a little girl beside him, looking at him expectantly.

"Sorry, I forgot about this!"

Lin Feng realized and hurriedly apologized to the little girl.

Before leaving, Su Yueyue had asked him to find an opportunity to bring back a toad as a pet.

Originally estimating that perhaps there were toads near the pools in the Rift Valley, however, Old Duncan's reminder before departure directly quelled Lin Feng's idea of exploring.

Curiosity killed the cat, so the best way to deal with the unknown is to stay away from it.

Lin Feng is not one to court death.

And after reaching the top of Lao Mountain, according to records left by predecessors, the unknown monster in the Dead Water Pool was most likely the remains of Old Liu, one of the first generation survivors back then.

The other party, in order to wait for the mother and daughter to wake up, did not hesitate to use himself as a sacrifice to ensure the long-term existence of the Rift Valley water source.

Now six thousand years have passed, and coming to the millennium of the wasteland, the once unseen Taishan Shelter may have already transformed into the Taishan Ruins.

It is unknown whether Old Liu's wife and daughter survived.

And the monster Old Liu turned into, able to survive for thousands of years, may also be related to the curse of the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area.
