Victoria is very decisive. Once she makes a decision, she never changes it. Oliver wants to stop her from this action. But when he thinks about the old and young in the team, who will starve to death without food, he gives up his idea.

Victoria and James are in charge of the night watch. The injured man is named Liam. He is originally a teacher in Cranford. Because he has a strong immunity to the virus, he survives. He has been managing refugees in the base. During this escape, he gets hit in the thigh by a stray bullet and is abandoned by the large group. So he can only follow Victoria's team.

In this apocalyptic world, everyone can use a gun. Liam looks gentle, but after three years of guarding the base, he becomes a machine gunner. Victoria values his machine - gun skills. However, since the team doesn't have a machine gun, he can only guard the shooting point on the minibus and is considered half a combatant.

James is keeping watch in the first half of the night. Victoria goes into the tent with her gun. Soon, a faint snoring sound comes out.

Oliver shakes his head.He lies beside the small campfire and feels a warm sensation in his heart. This is his first night in the apocalypse. His mood can't calm down for a long time, and he is thinking about many things.He can't fall asleep. Finally, he simply sits up and takes out a cigarette to smoke.

After smoking half of it, Oliver calls out Isabella and starts to check the database. He finds that there is a lot of information in it, and the functions of the watch are also very powerful.For example, the map he needs most now can be found in the database and will appear flat in his mind. This discovery makes Oliver very happy. He can't help asking Isabella, "Can we get real - time satellite maps?"

Isabella smiles and says, "Surely we can..."

Oliver is overjoyed again. In this way, can't he discover every move of the zombies? But just as he gets excited, Isabella says, "But you need to reach the fifth - level gene authority to use this function!"

Isabella's words make Oliver very disappointed. Oliver smokes dejectedly and mutters, "This is almost like not saying anything!"

At this time, footsteps come from behind. Oliver turns around and sees that it's Liam. He walks over and sit beside Oliver. He sniffs hard and says, "The smell of cigarettes. I haven't smelled it for over a year. I really miss it."

Oliver knows what Liam is thinking. Liam also wants to smoke. Oliver directly hands the whole pack of cigarettes to him and says, "Here you are..."

Liam is very happy. He takes out a cigarette, lights it with a burning branch from the fire, takes a big puff, and sighs, "I haven't smoked for over a year. This is really torture." He looks at the cigarette pack by the firelight and is immediately surprised, "This is Winston.！This thing stopped production in 2045. Where do you get it? My God! This pack is worth at least five kilograms of rice."

Oliver just smiles. He can't explain that this pack of cigarettes actually comes from 2024. Oliver is surprised that a pack of Winston cigarettes can be exchanged for five kilograms of rice. His two packs of instant noodles can be exchanged for a ring and a bracelet. The five kilograms of rice is worth at least two or three hundred grams of gold, right? Converted into US dollars, it's at least $10,000.

"Did Winston cigarettes stop production in 2045?" Oliver feels a bit regretful for giving away something worth $10,000 so generously. He has to change the topic to stop thinking about it. Liam smokes greedily and says vaguely, "It stopped production in 2045. It's very hard to see Winston cigarettes on the market now." After smoking, he searches in his pocket for a while, takes out a piece of gold about 20 grams, hands it to Oliver, and says sheepishly, "I can't take your cigarettes for nothing. This is all I have."

Oliver waves his hand and says, "Forget it. I seldom smoke usually. It's a waste for me to keep this pack of cigarettes. We are a team. I'll give it to you." Oliver is very generous. What seems very valuable in their eyes is just a cheap and easily - obtained item in his eyes. Like this pack of Winston cigarettes, as long as he returns to his previous world, he can get a lot.

Liam doesn't refuse. He puts away the cigarettes and says, "I'll remember your kindness. I will repay you in the future." He stands up and goes back into the tent. A red glow is flashing in the tent. It seems that he is still smoking.

Oliver shakes his head. He stops thinking about other things and lies down to fall into a deep sleep.

Just at dawn the next day, Oliver feels someone gently pushing him. He opens his eyes and finds a young boy in the team. The boy is thin and sallow - faced, with a look of fear on his face. When the boy sees Oliver open his eyes, he quickly stands up, steps back a few steps, and points to Victoria and says, "The captain asks me to wake you up."

Oliver smiles and says, "I'm not going to eat you. What are you afraid of? What's your name?" The young boy turns around and runs towards Victoria, saying as he runs, "My name is Leo."

Oliver only has one pot as his luggage. He can't put the steel pot into the space storage in front of his teammates. He can only pick it up. He follows Victoria and the teammates and walks towards the minibus at the foot of the small hill.

To be honest, in Oliver's eyes, this minibus should have been scrapped long ago. Not to mention the windshield in the front of the vehicle, most of the paint on the whole body has fallen off, revealing the rusty iron sheet inside. Even worse, one of the rear tires has a big cut, and the inner tube can be faintly seen. Oliver even doubts whether this tire can still be used. If it has a flat tire when they are besieged by zombies, it will be a disaster.

Victoria sees Oliver in a daze and says helplessly, "There's no way. This is the only vehicle we can find that can still run. We can only make do with it for now. I hope we can find a better car in the town ahead."

Oliver certainly understands Victoria's difficulties. He just sighs and gets on the bus. Half of the seats in the minibus have been removed to pile up sundries. After the three old people and three young people get on the bus, they sit on the seats and fasten themselves with seat belts. Oliver throws the steel pot into the pile of sundries and finds a seat by the window to sit down.

Liam comes over and kindly reminds, "Oliver, you'd better take out your pistol. The attacks of zombies are sometimes very sudden. If we can't suppress them, they will soon surround the vehicle. At that time, the thin iron sheet of the minibus can't stop them." Oliver has no experience in fighting against zombies. People like Liam, who have experienced more than three years in the apocalypse, are the most experienced. So Oliver takes out the pistol from his waist, checks the magazine, and after making sure it's okay, says, "Thank you."

Victoria is driving. After the minibus starts, the whole vehicle is filled with the noise of the engine. James was on duty in the first half of the night and is now lying beside the sundries catching up on sleep. Liam smiles at Oliver, goes to the back of the vehicle, and starts to stand guard.
