"Dad, the Hope Convoy's people are packing up and getting ready to leave. Should we hurry up and make our move?"
Luo Xiaohai had been keeping an eye on the Hope Convoy the whole time, and he spoke up!
"No, we'll leave with them. Since Zhao Chunfeng is a Prophecy Sequence User, if they're leaving, there's a good chance a Fierce Beast might pass through here!" Luo Dahai shook his head!
After all, they were fleeing for their lives in the apocalypse, with no definite destination. As long as a place was safe, they would certainly stay as long as they could.
So, seeing the Hope Convoy's people leave, Luo Dahai felt that a Fierce Beast must have been drawn over!
"All right, we'll leave too, then find another chance to strike!" Luo Xiaohai thought that made sense as well and nodded!
"Huh?"
However, just as Luo Dahai was about to pack up and get moving too, a flash of golden light suddenly caught his attention!
Narrowing his eyes for a closer look, he saw that the golden thing was a fist-sized rat, poking its head around as though searching for something!
Most importantly, the rat actually had numerous markings on its body that formed patterns of copper coins!
Was that... the legendary Money Rat!? At the sight of the golden rat, Luo Dahai was overjoyed!
Luo Dahai had heard about Money Rats too. They could generally only be seen where there was treasure!
So? Was there treasure nearby?
"Dad, let's go!" Luo Xiaohai climbed into the squad's only small box truck, sat in the driver's seat, and called out to Luo Dahai!
The Hope Convoy's people had already set off. Shouldn't they follow along too?
"Xiaohai, wait!" Luo Dahai said reluctantly, his eyes fixed on the Money Rat!
Although a Fierce Beast would most likely show up, how could Luo Dahai bring himself to leave after seeing a Money Rat?
Let's wait a little longer! From the look of this Money Rat, perhaps it would find treasure very soon?
"Dad, what's that thing?" Following his father's gaze, Luo Xiaohai also spotted the Money Rat and asked in surprise!
It didn't look like an ordinary rat at all. Before the apocalypse, he had never seen a rat like that while living in the village. So, was it a Fierce Beast?
But wasn't this Fierce Beast far too small?
"Just as expected, the Luo Family Town Squad hasn't moved!"
As the Hope Convoy left, Luo Fan and the others naturally kept watch on its movements!
After the Hope Convoy had traveled about four or five kilometers, Niu Dagang and Luo Fan got into Zhao Chunfeng's SUV, and the three of them headed back.
"Brother Zhao, doesn't your Prophecy Sequence lack combat power?" Watching Zhao Chunfeng drive, Luo Fan couldn't help asking!
That was right. He and Niu Dagang were enough to ambush the Luo father and son. Why was Brother Zhao coming along when he had no combat power?
"The Prophecy Sequence may lack combat power, but that doesn't mean I can't draw on outside forces, does it?" Zhao Chunfeng glanced at Luo Fan.
"Draw on outside forces?" Hearing this, Luo Fan looked at Zhao Chunfeng in confusion.
"It's only been a few months since the apocalypse. You haven't actually forgotten that our world is a technological one, have you?"
Zhao Chunfeng lifted his clothes, revealing a handgun tucked at his waist.
"Brother Zhao, you actually have a gun? Where did you get it? Aren't firearms very strictly controlled in our country?" Seeing Zhao Chunfeng's gun, Luo Fan asked with a mixture of surprise and realization!
That was right. Although those who had awakened a Sequence possessed supernatural powers, they were only stronger than ordinary people, after all. If they were actually hit by firearms, they still couldn't withstand it.
"It's the apocalypse. Is anyone still going to regulate your firearms? Shh..."
After making that retort to Luo Fan, Zhao Chunfeng made a shushing gesture!
The car stopped by the roadside, and Luo Fan and the other two got out and continued forward on foot!
After walking several hundred meters, Luo Fan and the others spotted the Luo Family Town Squad ahead!
From a distance, they could see that the Luo father and son were already fighting!
The Fierce Beast attacking the Luo Family Town Squad looked like a huge black bear, as powerfully built as a bull.
More importantly, instead of thick fur, this black bear was covered in a layer of thick black armor, like a beetle.
Luo Dahai held a large bow, nocking arrows and drawing the string with excellent accuracy.
Unfortunately, the arrows could only do limited damage when they struck the beast. They barely pierced the shell covering the black bear, leaving superficial wounds that only made it angrier!
Luo Xiaohai, meanwhile, kept thrusting his palms forward, blasting fist-sized energy balls at the black bear.
Both father and son were actually ranged attackers, using kiting tactics to keep the black bear moving between them!
When the black bear charged at Luo Dahai, he ran for all he was worth while Luo Xiaohai hurled energy balls at it one after another from behind!
When the black bear turned to chase Luo Xiaohai, it was his turn to run while Luo Dahai frantically shot arrows from behind!
The Spell Sequence, with the Missile skill?
Watching Luo Xiaohai keep hurling fist-sized energy balls, Luo Fan quickly identified the corresponding awakened Sequence and ability.
But when Luo Fan turned his gaze toward Luo Dahai, his brow furrowed slightly.
"Brother Zhao, I've never heard of any of the eight Sequences using bows!" Luo Fan asked Zhao Chunfeng in confusion.
"That bow seems to be an Uncanny Artifact!" Zhao Chunfeng said, looking at Luo Dahai.
"An Uncanny Artifact?" Hearing this, Luo Fan stared at the bow in Luo Dahai's hands!
Just as Zhao Chunfeng's Prophecy Sequence lacked combat power, but he could use a firearm to provide it!
Did Luo Dahai's combat power mainly come from the bow in his hands?
"So? Luo Dahai probably didn't awaken a combat Sequence either? Luo Xiaohai is their only combat Sequence User?"
Seeing that Luo Dahai was fighting entirely through a Sequence User's physical abilities and didn't appear to be using any combat skills, Luo Fan continued.
"When are we making our move?" Watching the black bear being led around by the Luo father and son as if out on a stroll, Niu Dagang couldn't help asking, looking impatient to act!
"No rush. Let's wait a little longer!"
"My divination showed extreme danger. That's why we had to leave before twelve!"
"But judging by this black bear's strength, there's no need for us to avoid it. Dagang, you and Luo Fan could kill it too!"
"So there should still be another development coming!" Seeing that Niu Dagang was itching to charge out, Zhao Chunfeng stopped him!
Simply put, this black bear wasn't enough to make the Hope Convoy avoid it!
Niu Dagang trusted Zhao Chunfeng's words, so he nodded and said nothing more!
Hearing this, Luo Fan also grew alert, finding Zhao Chunfeng's words reasonable!
Sure enough, led around like a dog by the Luo father and son and completely unable to get close, the black bear was covered in wounds and burned with even greater fury.
Suddenly, a terrifying roar rang out, and the black bear's body actually swelled another size larger, like an inflating balloon.
The shell on its body became even blacker and shinier, looking like solid steel plates!
"This black bear has Ranked!?" At the sight, Zhao Chunfeng exclaimed in a low voice.
