The burly man coughed twice, then cleared his throat and said with a serious expression, "Ahem, if word gets out that we're doing this, where will our convoy's reputation be?"
After saying that, he secretly winked at the wise-looking survivor.
The survivor was quick-witted and immediately understood what the burly man meant. He nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right, brother! If word gets out, our team will lose all face!"
However, he completely failed to grasp the burly man's true intention.
Upon hearing this, the burly man, who had been frowning, inwardly groaned and glared fiercely at the wise-looking survivor.
That idiot completely misunderstood him!
Just then, the other survivors in the crowd began to speak up in rebuttal.
One of them argued vehemently, "That's a flawed argument. First, this is a treasure. It's not shameful to eat even a tiny bit of it. I ask you, if this were the leftover residue of an immortal's elixir, would you eat it...?"
"Secondly, we're all on the same side here, we know each other inside and out, I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to tell anyone about this, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present nodded in unison in agreement.
"Absolutely not!"
"I definitely won't tell, so who among you will?"
"If you don't tell me, of course I won't tell you either!"
"......"
Immediately afterwards, everyone turned their attention to the burly man.
After all, as the captain of the team, he had absolute say and decision-making power at such a critical moment.
Everyone waited quietly for him to make his final decision.
The burly man spoke solemnly and earnestly: "As the captain of the team, it's natural for me to work for everyone's benefit. I hope you won't spread this matter around, lest it tarnish our team's reputation..."
Immediately afterwards, the burly man looked at the survivor named Big Pancake and said, "Pancake, quickly collect all the peach pits on the ground, let's share them!"
"Uh-huh!"
Big Pancake nodded and quickly bent down to collect them.
The other survivors, unable to contain their excitement, also joined in collecting peach pits.
Not long after.
The survivors then picked up a bunch of them.
The burly man took a wooden bowl out of the car.
Carefully shave the flesh off the peach pit with a knife.
Although there doesn't seem to be much pulp left on those peach pits.
However, the pulp from dozens or even hundreds of peach pits combined filled a whole bowl.
As for the peach pits that had lost their flesh, the burly man was not stingy; he gave one to each of them, calling it a souvenir.
The rest he pocketed.
The others didn't say anything more when they saw this.
Everyone stared at the fruit pulp he had placed in the wooden bowl.
Only the survivor named Big Pancake remained bent over, constantly wandering back and forth between the peach grove and the road, searching.
The burly man noticed his actions and shouted, "Hey, what are you looking for? Come over here and share the fruit!"
Upon hearing the shout, Big Pancake slowly raised his head, looked in the direction of the burly man, grinned, and replied with a simple and honest smile, "Boss, I clearly saw two big peaches with several bites in them here just now, how come they're gone now?"
The burly man trembled slightly, a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of guilt crossing his face, but he quickly recovered and said, "You must be seeing things. Come here right now, or I'll give your share to someone else!"
Dabing was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly ran over.
A group of people surrounded the burly man and began dividing the fruit, one piece at a time.
