Ross's massive hand trembled slightly. Then he abruptly turned to look at the girl, his enormous, bell-like eyes fixed on her.
"You... really can?!"
Yuxuan glanced at Ross's large face but didn't answer directly. She just smiled and said, "Once you encounter it, keep moving forward. Leave the rest to me."
Watching the girl's casual manner, Ross returned to the driver's seat and stared ahead in silence.

"If you don't need anything else, I'm going to eat. I'm a little hungry."
Yuxuan rubbed her stomach. Ross was really dragging this out. She'd thought he was going to say something more, but he'd gone quiet for so long. Did he not realize
it took her an hour and a half to finish eating?
One lunch box a minute—at that rate, even eating as fast as she could, it would still take a hundred minutes to get through a hundred lunch boxes!
As she thought this, the girl reached for the handle on the car door. But just as she was about to open it, Ross's voice came from behind her.

Three convoys had been sent out on this trip. The original plan was to proceed slowly, keeping five kilometers between them. But because of the girl's request, they'd been delayed for a while, which
meant the distance between them had grown to more than thirty-six hours.
In other words, while they'd been fast asleep, the convoy ahead had already been attacked by a Seven-Star Mutant and wiped out.
"...The entire convoy ahead was wiped out?"
"Yeah... We received a signal from the satellite. The convoy was attacked in an abandoned town.
