"Change clothes? Why?"
Ye Feng was a little puzzled. His short-sleeved T-shirt was comfortable and breathable, and he felt very good wearing it. Why would he need to change?
"Wearing this kind of clothing is very dangerous!"
"Mr. Ye, your and Miss Xiaoxiao's clothes are too unconventional, unlike most people. This style seems to be from the early days of the Great Calamity~"
"Wearing such clothes makes you very likely to be targeted by the Skull Society!"
Seeing that Ye Feng didn't seem to take it seriously, Little Wolf became anxious.
"Skull Society?"
Ye Feng frowned, looking quite confused.
"Yes!"
Little Wolf nodded, "Although the Skull Society is one of the three major powers in the Dune, they are rather strange. Except for the initial establishment of the Skull Society, when they explored the Dune on a large scale, they seemed to have been doing nothing afterwards~"
"The members of the Skull Society, from top to bottom, basically drive around aimlessly, idly passing the time!"
"But there is one thing the Skull Society cares about very much: the Bracelet Holders!"
"The Skull Society is most interested in capturing Bracelet Holders everywhere... It's not very clear what they do, but every Bracelet Holder captured by them has never reappeared..."
Little Wolf quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"Bracelet Holders?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng's heart suddenly tensed. This was not the first time he had heard this term.
"And Bracelet Holders have a very obvious characteristic: their clothing is unconventional, mostly the attire from the early days of the Great Calamity~"
"Because of this, many people who are not Bracelet Holders have also been captured by the Skull Society for wearing clothes from the early days of the Great Calamity!"
"So, Mr. Ye, if you and Miss Xiaoxiao are going into the depths of the Dune, it's best to change your clothes to avoid being targeted by the Skull Society!"
After a pause, Little Wolf added.
"Just a set of clothes, is it that serious?"
Ye Feng was a bit baffled. "I've seen clothes of this style in quite a few treasure chests, and although they are rare, some explorers are selling them!"
"That's true, but the Skull Society doesn't care about that at all. Their obsession with Bracelet Holders is like that of madmen~! They would rather arrest a hundred by mistake than let one go!"
"Even foreigners who look and speak a little unconventionally, and are different from others, are taken by them as Bracelet Holders..."
At this moment, Li Sen chimed in.
"Holy hell, what kind of organization is this Skull Society?"
Ye Feng appeared calm on the surface, but his wariness towards the Skull Society rose in his heart.
After all, according to the ogre Lin Senhai, the Bracelet Holders mentioned by Little Wolf were most likely survivors like Ye Feng.
Now a mysterious organization dedicated to capturing survivors has appeared...
Inevitably, Ye Feng thought of the "organization that no one on this continent can afford to offend" that the crocodile man in Zhan Bi City had mentioned...
Could it be the Skull Society?
"Li Sen, Little Wolf, how much do you know about Bracelet Holders?"
"I've heard about Bracelet Holders a few times, but I don't understand most of it. I don't know what their situation is!"
After a moment of thought, Ye Feng asked.
"This..."
Li Sen hesitated. "To be honest, I'm not very clear either... I only know that Bracelet Holders wear a glowing bracelet on their wrists. This is the most essential characteristic of their group. Their group's initial name seems to come from this~"
"Bracelet Holders seem to be distributed all over the world, and it is said that they appeared inexplicably... There are rumors that these Bracelet Holders hold a world-shattering secret..."
"Many people who hunt Bracelet Holders are after that great secret, but no one knows what that great secret is..."
"Once, by chance, I heard a drunk Skull Society leader in a bar in Ocean Paradise say that Bracelet Holders seem to come from a place called Omega, which seems to mean 'the end'!"
"That place also has an icon, which is this Ω~"
Saying that, Li Sen drew a symbol on the sand.
"This character... Omega Ω, the last letter of the Greek alphabet... meaning 'the end'?!"
Seeing the symbol on the ground, Ye Feng fell into thought.
"Mr. Ye, the Skull Society people are completely unreasonable, especially when it comes to suspected Bracelet Holders~"
"They have also offered huge bounties for Bracelet Holders, some of which are precious Arcane Origin Stones... attracting many bounty hunters to capture Bracelet Holders!"
Little Wolf chimed in, his tone anxious, clearly very concerned about Ye Feng's safety.
"Don't worry, I have my own considerations. It's just a set of clothes~"
Ye Feng did not change his clothes as Little Wolf suggested. He felt that if he really changed, it would be like "protesting too much."
At this moment, Ye Feng, Xiaoxiao, and the others were unaware that in the convoy, someone sitting on a stone stump, leaning against them, had a sinister glint in their eyes.
"By the way, Mr. Ye, here's this for you!"
At this moment, Li Sen handed over a slightly yellowed, rough parchment scroll.
"A map?"
Taking it and looking, Ye Feng was slightly surprised.
"Yes!"
Li Sen nodded. "This is a rough map of the Dune area that I know. I've marked several important locations and routes. You might find it useful if you're going into the Dune next!"
"Thank you!"
Ye Feng sincerely thanked Li Sen.
After all, if he just followed the direction of the Arcane Pointer all the way, the risk would be very high, and the direction of the Arcane Pointer was sometimes just a general direction with slight deviations...
Afterward, the few of them chatted for a while longer, and Ye Feng bid farewell to Li Sen and Little Wolf, embarking on his journey.
"Mr. Ye is truly a good person!"
Watching the back of Ye Feng's Hummer as it drove away, Little Wolf couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes! Even more precious in this apocalypse..."
Li Sen nodded in agreement.
...
In the gray military Hummer
"Big Brother, are we going to a place called Ocean Paradise next?"
In the passenger seat, Xiaoxiao, after examining the map Li Sen had just given Ye Feng, asked him.
"Mm."
"We need to gather more information first, especially about this Dune. We need to know how big the Dune is and what dangers exist..."
Ye Feng nodded.
Although Li Sen had given him a map, Li Sen himself didn't know how big the Dune was, let alone how to cross the entire Dune.
Ye Feng didn't want to rush into a super desert the size of the Sahara with his limited supplies... After all, the supplies refreshed daily in the [Shop] were highly random...
"Bang!!"
Suddenly, a loud gunshot echoed from not far away.
...
Therefore, after obtaining the Eternal Frozen Ice, Ye Feng did not casually put it in his spatial warehouse but placed it in the mysterious box that was very likely a divine stone, which he had obtained in Desperate City.
To Ye Feng's surprise, the Eternal Frozen Ice's...
"The ruins of that large survivor base are now very deep within the Dune."
