Lin Yu took flight!

Of course.

The threads represented temporary possibilities, not fixed outcomes.

As circumstances shifted, the threads would keep changing too, and unexpected developments would arise.

In the blink of an eye, a path to survival might become a path to death, while a path to death might offer survival instead.

A Traveler could only use the threads to deduce possibilities, not reach a definitive conclusion.

Peeling away the layers to see the true road ahead-

that was the essence of a Traveler.

A thread pointing toward a [Choice] did not mean there was already a [Choice] there.

[Choices] were usually random developments based on the number of people in a group. The larger and stronger the group, the more likely a [Choice] was to appear, and the more powerful that [Choice] would be.

A [Choice] was almost impossible to find somewhere with no people.

The thread Lin Yu could see pointing southwest toward a [Choice] meant there was an anchor there. Once they went over, they could trigger that anchor and activate the [Choice].

Lin Yu soon gained a thorough understanding of how [Clear Road Ahead] worked.

By then,

the potatoes were ready too.

Yellow Hair thrust his two merciless iron hands straight into the scalding pot, picked out two large potatoes, and tossed them to Lin Yu. "Time to eat! These potatoes smell pretty good!"

Lin Yu caught the potatoes. As their aroma reached his nose, his stomach started growling.

Seriously!

They really did smell good!

Before the apocalypse, he had never liked boiled potatoes like these.

But now...

they seemed like a gourmet feast!

"Thanks."

Lin Yu thanked him and started munching without even peeling them.

The potatoes were soft and fluffy, with a rich, earthy flavor!

Every bite was pure pleasure!

Shen Sui's eyelid twitched.

"I think those were my potatoes..."

Unbothered, Yellow Hair took two smaller potatoes from the pot and tossed them to Shen Sui. "We're all on the same side. Why split hairs? They're all potatoes, aren't they?"

As he spoke,

he picked out two more large potatoes, chuckled, and started eating.

Clearly,

he had done it on purpose!

It was payback for Shen Sui's outrageous fees!

Lin Yu had avoided them, but Yellow Hair hadn't been able to!

That was what he got for having a bicycle with no storage space!

Shen Sui's face darkened, but he could only accept it in silence...

He had swindled far more supplies out of Yellow Hair anyway. A few potatoes really were nothing.

Zhai Guang had merciless iron hands too. He reached into the pot, grabbed two potatoes, and gulped them down in two huge bites.

Ye Qing was much more graceful. She peeled her potato and savored it in small bites, a pleased expression soon appearing on her face as well. Eating was a pleasure in the apocalypse.

Cheng Yuening hid in the darkness, quietly nibbling her potatoes.

Twenty minutes later,

everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and the entire group's spirits rose.

Everyone was full of energy.

Smiles filled the group as some chatted and others joked around.

Suddenly,

Lin Yu frowned.

He noticed that the black thread behind the group had suddenly drawn closer!

It had originally been about ten hours away from reaching them, but now it would arrive in just one hour!

This was exactly how the threads could change.

Lin Yu abruptly stood and looked at Shen Sui.

"Captain Shen, get ready to leave. A threat is closing in on us!"

Shen Sui reacted swiftly, his gaze turning serious in an instant. He pulled something resembling a compass out of his clothes and infused it with mental power, then looked behind them with a slight frown.

"Are you sure?"

Lin Yu nodded, his tone earnest.

"My Sequence lets me see danger and the road ahead."

Shen Sui's eyes lit up.

"A Sequence like a Pathfinder?"

Sequences such as Pathfinders, Scouts, and Surveyors were always among the rarest and most important Sequences in the apocalypse!

A group could get by without a Transcendent with strong combat abilities.

But it absolutely could not go without someone to guide it.

That was common knowledge in the apocalypse!

And Shen Sui's team had no Pathfinder.

If Shen Sui hadn't possessed a compass that could barely predict danger and serve as a guide, his team would have been wiped out long ago.

Lin Yu nodded.

"Yes."

Shen Sui's expression changed immediately. He knew that Lin Yu's specialized Sequence would certainly be more accurate than his compass. He nodded at once and called out,

"Everyone, get ready! We leave in thirty seconds!"

With that,

he ran toward his jeep.

Halfway there, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Lin Yu.

"Get in my jeep. Your skateboard..."

He didn't finish, but he clearly meant that Lin Yu's skateboard was too shabby.

Lin Yu now qualified as a vital asset to the team. Not only did he possess [Sixth Sense], he also had the ability to [Guide].

Someone with talents like that absolutely could not die!

Even if Zhai Guang died, Lin Yu had to live!

Lin Yu shook his head.

"Don't worry. My skateboard has a second form."

At those words,

Shen Sui's pupils abruptly dilated as something dawned on him.

Could that skateboard be a Transcendent Transport?

Shit!

This Lin Yu!

He'd kept his cards so well hidden!

Shen Sui ran toward his jeep again. Since Lin Yu already had a Transcendent Transport, he certainly wouldn't need him!

The moment the thirty seconds were up,

the jeep's engine roared.

Vroom, vroom!

Once again, it charged out in the lead.

Shen Sui was a professional when it came to fleeing.

Soon,

a red supercar stopped in front of Lin Yu. Her black hair draped over her shoulders, Ye Qing looked up at him with an amused smile. "Want to ride shotgun with me? It's free this time."

Before Lin Yu could answer,

Ye Qing cast another playful glance at the skateboard beneath his feet.

"I suppose you won't need to."

"See you in a bit~"

Ye Qing stepped on the gas and shot off too.

Clearly, Ye Qing had long since realized that Lin Yu's skateboard was a Transcendent Transport. She simply didn't care. Give up her red supercar to ride a skateboard?

Not a chance~

Even if that skateboard was a Transcendent Transport.

Watching the red supercar disappear into the distance, Lin Yu frowned slightly.

He kept feeling...

that Ye Qing had secrets...

She was definitely not as simple as she appeared.

But never mind!

Who didn't have a few secrets in the apocalypse?

Their captain, Shen Sui, looked like he had the most secrets of all!

The only one with no secrets...

Hmm...

Yellow Hair probably didn't have any.

Whoosh!

In an instant,

Lin Yu activated the Demon Spirit Rabbit Skateboard, set its medium-speed mode to eighty miles per hour, and shot after them in a blur.

At that moment,

everyone stared, dumbfounded.

"Holy shit, Lin Yu took flight!"

"So fast! That acceleration's better than a car's!"

"Can Transcendents make skateboards faster too?"

"Idiot! That skateboard has to be a Transcendent Transport!"

"Stop fucking staring and move! You'll get left behind!"

Once their shock passed, everyone hurried to finish getting into their vehicles and set off.

Since Shen Sui had given everyone thirty seconds to prepare this time, every vehicle was packed full, with eight people squeezed into each five-seater.

The twelve-seat van held twenty people.

Everyone had gotten into a vehicle. No one was traveling on foot this time.

So...

there were benefits to people dying, too.

If there had been another thirteen people, they wouldn't all have fit.
