As one hungry refugee after another stepped forward to receive the algae sticks, Ma Yuanbai also took out one algae stick after another.
No matter how hard Ma Yuanbai tried to scoop it out, the green algae seemed to be endless, and he could never finish it.
It's as if his seemingly ordinary jar hides a mysterious, endless space filled with an inexhaustible supply of green algae.
"Just who is this new captain? How come he has so many algae sticks from the shelter?"
In the queue, a haggard-looking refugee couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"It must be an Awakened One! Only Awakened Ones have such amazing abilities."
A slightly younger migrant worker next to him picked up the conversation, speaking with certainty.
"Shh, as long as I can eat, I don't care if he's an Awakened or not," another refugee said indifferently.
Ma Yuanbai kept taking out green algae sticks, and this miraculous scene made the refugees who had joined even more convinced.
This new captain, Ma Yuanbai, is definitely an Awakened One; otherwise, he wouldn't have so many resources.
Only after no more refugees joined the group did Ma Yuanbai finish distributing the algae sticks and slowly stand up.
He looked at the group of refugees surrounding him, their expressions somewhat complicated, and deliberately raised his voice, shouting loudly:
"From today onwards, as long as you follow me, Ma Yuanbai, you will never go hungry again!"
Upon hearing this, the refugees' previously lifeless faces instantly lit up with extreme excitement.
I originally thought it was just a temporary recruitment.
Unexpectedly, this new captain will be providing them with food on a long-term basis!
"Thank you, Captain Ma. I'll be counting on you from now on," a migrant with a hoarse voice said tremblingly.
"Long live Captain Ma!" a young refugee shouted excitedly, waving his fist.
Despite the hardships that had befallen him, the refugee managed a forced smile and continued to praise him.
Hearing the shouts rising and falling around him, Ma Yuanbai nodded slightly.
Although he knew in his heart that these refugees had only joined for food, a hint of satisfaction still flashed in his eyes.
After all, today is just the beginning; the journey of migration is still long.
Perhaps, he could lead these refugees and create a new world for them on this migration route.
Not far away, many refugees still did not come forward to receive the algae sticks, and they were skeptical of Ma Yuanbai's actions.
Some of the awakened individuals among the refugees came to observe out of curiosity, and they had no intention of joining Ma Yuanbai's group.
After all, obtaining food is relatively easier for awakened individuals.
Hei Sha immediately understood Ma Yuanbai's deeper meaning.
The others just watched quietly from a distance, unaware of what Ma Yuanbai was up to.
As the figure from the Wang family's safe zone gradually disappeared from sight along the railway tracks.
Ma Yuanbai quickly stood up, raised his arm to the refugees, and issued his first simple order as the new captain.
"Set off!"
The refugees responded immediately, and under the arrangement of Zhao Xiong and his group, they tried to line up in several rows.
Although the group is still somewhat disorganized, compared to its previous chaotic state, it appears to be taking on some semblance of organization.
However, in order to get the next meal distributed by Ma Yuanbai, the refugees reluctantly accepted this method of advancing in a queue.
In the rain and mist behind.
A gigantic beast twitched its nose, its icy blue eyes coldly fixed on the railway tracks.
Then the beast raised its head:
"Awoo!"
A long, drawn-out howl drifted from afar.
"It's a wolf howl."
Ma Yuanbai's expression suddenly changed, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
The refugees who were still happy about having just filled their stomachs fell silent instantly upon hearing this chilling howl, and everyone's expression became extremely tense.
You should know that this sound is not a good omen.
If it's just an ordinary pack of wolves, they might be considered lucky; but if it's a powerful pack of beasts...
Thinking of this, Ma Yuanbai dared not be careless and hurriedly continued to shout to the surrounding refugees:
"Quickly, catch up with the safe zone ahead."
At the same time, he quickened his pace, silently hoping that the terrifying scream was not directed at them.
At this moment, the refugees no longer cared about formation and all took off running for their lives.
Some of the faster migrants disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Forget about being a captain; in this life-or-death moment, that was long forgotten.
After all, if the captain is gone, another one can be replaced.
At worst, we can just find someone else to be the team leader next time who can bring them food.
"Da da".
"Da-da".
The sound, like horses' hooves hitting the ground, kept coming, becoming clearer and closer.
The refugees' hearts pounded like drums; they knew what that sound meant.
On this desolate land, the howling of wolves is a harbinger of death, especially when their target is a group of refugees.
"Don't look back, don't stop! Keep running!" Ma Yuanbai shouted repeatedly, trying to keep these refugees who had just joined his group alive.
The refugees knew that the safe zone was just ahead, and if they caught up with them, they could survive.
Thinking of this, the refugees rushed frantically along the railway tracks, disregarding everything else.
When it comes to the ability to escape, the refugees are second to none.
Some of the refugees ran at a speed that was in no way inferior to that of the awakened ones.
Their legs, so thin they seemed as if they would break with a gust of wind, now seemed to contain boundless power.
"Waaah—"
The chilling roars grew closer, and the refugees could even clearly hear their heavy, rapid breathing.
The air was no longer filled with just the smell of fear, but also with a strong, pungent stench of wild beasts.
"Look! There!" someone screamed in terror, pointing with a trembling finger at the misty rain beside them.
A group of huge black shadows could be seen appearing and disappearing in the rain and mist in the distance, their eyes flickering like blue will-o'-the-wisps.
"Wolf!"
"It really is a wolf! It's huge..." He had just shouted this when someone next to him deliberately bumped into him and knocked him to the ground.
Although the refugee scrambled to his feet, he had already fallen behind the rest of the refugee group.
By this time, the refugees could clearly see the huge wolf pack in the distance.
Although they were still far away, the refugees could already see the huge pack of wolves in the distance.
At the same time, the wolf pack also spotted the group of refugees fleeing in panic.
"Awoo!"
Another long howl rang out, and the wolf pack began to charge forward at full speed.
Not far ahead of the railway tracks.
Upon hearing the chilling howl of the wolf, everyone in the Wang Family Safe Zone couldn't help but feel fear.
"Continue forward, level one alert!" Patriarch Wang Qinshui immediately gave the order, preparing for battle at any moment.
