Chu Sheng and An Xi exchanged a glance, each seeing surprise in the other's eyes.
But on reflection, it actually seemed perfectly normal that they had never encountered anyone else.
After the apocalypse, the world had grown enormously-not merely tens or hundreds of times larger, but by far more than that.
And Zhuo Wu's group had only one Sequence Adept and no Guide. Under those circumstances, stumbling across another convoy would most likely have been sheer dumb luck.
