A deadly tension hung over the highway. The constant roar from behind the convoy was like the beating of war drums, setting everyone's nerves on edge.
Standing atop a heavy truck, Scorpion watched the people in the convoy form a defensive line. He licked his lips bloodthirstily and immediately ordered, "Attack!"
