Rose's Sequence awakening!

Enduring her injuries, Rose did her best to catch up with the bus, then jumped in through its open door.

Ignoring the gasoline piled beside her in assorted containers, Rose collapsed inside the bus, her taut nerves relaxing a little.

An Xiaoran glanced at her, then raised her hand again, casting Healing on her.

When Rose had been attacked, the Shield had already dissipated most of the force, so An Xiaoran's two casts of Healing left her injuries largely healed, with scabs forming over the wounds.

"Thank you, Xiao Ran." Rose looked at An Xiaoran gratefully as she thanked her.

Her thanks were not just for those two casts of Healing, but mainly for the Shield earlier.

Rose knew perfectly well that without the Shield An Xiaoran had put up for her, she would certainly have died. Even Luo Fan would not have had time to shoot an arrow to save her.

An Xiaoran said nothing in response to Rose's thanks.

Luo Fan drove the bus, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings.

He and Niu Dagang were both Sequence Users, but now they had become drivers, so if they encountered Fierce Beasts during their escape, they needed to avoid fighting as much as possible.

Fortunately, they had killed quite a few Fierce Beasts on their way into Jiangxin Town, so they met little resistance on their way out.

For ten minutes, Luo Fan pressed the accelerator as hard as he could, while the survivors behind them gritted their teeth and pushed on, keeping up with the bus and fuel tanker ahead.

At last, they successfully escaped Jiangxin Town.

"Go. Don't stop here." Zhao Chunfeng looked relieved to see Niu Dagang and Luo Fan return, then spoke.

"The supplies we unloaded from my bus earlier..." Niu Dagang said when he heard they were leaving immediately.

Hearing this, Zhao Chunfeng looked at the survivors who had escaped, all of them panting for breath.

"Five minutes. Everyone gets five minutes to rest, then we leave immediately," Zhao Chunfeng announced loudly after a moment of silence.

"What? Five minutes? We've just run out of there, and we're exhausted! Can't we rest a little longer?" the survivors wailed.

"Anyone who doesn't want to leave can stay behind. The convoy will only wait five minutes." Zhao Chunfeng had no intention of bargaining with them.

Meanwhile, Luo Fan, Niu Dagang, and the others quickly loaded the supplies they had unloaded earlier back into the vehicles, asking several survivors who had not entered Jiangxin Town to help.

"Dagang, I'll pay two jin of food. Can I ride with you?"

"Dagang, I'll pay two liters of gasoline."

"Huh? It's full inside? I'll pay one liter of gasoline. Just let me stay on the roof."

"Luo Fan, can your little truck carry passengers? I'll pay two liters of gasoline."

"Uncle Liang, you're driving the fuel tanker? Can I sit on the tank?"

Those who had been with the Hope Convoy for a long time knew about Zhao Chunfeng's Divination ability. Seeing him like this, they all knew things were still extremely dangerous, and many were already offering supplies in exchange for a place on a vehicle.

Originally, the Hope Convoy had only Zhao Chunfeng's off-road vehicle, Niu Dagang's bus, and Rose's van.

Now they also had Luo Fan's little truck and the fuel tanker they had just driven out.

So these people all wanted to pay a fare and catch a ride to escape with their lives.

Luo Fan and the others did not refuse. Of the fifty-odd survivors remaining, some got inside the vehicles, while others clung to the roofs or the fuel tanker's tank. More than thirty managed to get aboard.

Around twenty survivors remained. Some perhaps had no supplies, while others perhaps could not bear to part with theirs. In any case, they thought they could keep up on foot.

Five minutes passed in a flash.

With Zhao Chunfeng's off-road vehicle still leading the way, all five vehicles started moving.

Normally, Zhao Chunfeng drove his off-road vehicle slowly to make sure the survivors behind could keep up.

Today, however, once it started moving, he stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle immediately sped up to forty or fifty kilometers per hour.

Naturally, Luo Fan and the others drove after Zhao Chunfeng, matching his speed.

The vehicles were all moving fast, and the motorcycles behind them sped up to follow.

Those on bicycles stood up to pedal.

The dozen or so survivors still on foot panicked when they saw how fast the convoy was moving.

"Wait! Wait for us!" "Don't drive so fast! Wait for us!"

"Wait! I'll pay three jin of food! Let me aboard!"

Zhao Chunfeng's off-road vehicle showed no sign of stopping for the shouts behind them, so naturally, Luo Fan and the others could not stop either.

The convoy drove at forty or fifty kilometers per hour for about half an hour before darkness fell.

After dark, inside the Black Refinery.

Several dark figures appeared like phantoms. One licked the blood Rose had left on the ground when she was injured, then swiftly pursued them out of Jiangxin Town, heading in the direction of the Hope Convoy.

After dark, the vehicles drove for about another hour. Along the way, some survivors on the roofs lost their grip and fell off, but the convoy showed no intention of stopping.

It was around eight that evening before Zhao Chunfeng's off-road vehicle finally stopped.

Only when the convoy stopped did all the survivors quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone took a little time to recover. The convoy, which had originally had more than sixty ordinary survivors, now had only around thirty left.

A dozen or so had been lost in Jiangxin Town, while more than twenty had fallen behind during their desperate, high-speed escape.

Almost everyone who had fallen behind was either someone who had been unwilling to pay for a ride or a survivor riding a bicycle.

Everyone could guess what fate awaited those left behind.

"Everyone, we can stop and rest for one day and two nights," Uncle Li announced to them all, speaking on Zhao Chunfeng's behalf.

Hearing that they could rest for so long, all the survivors let out long sighs of relief.

Their usual rests lasted only a few hours. Getting to stop and rest for this long was rare.

"Whew, this time really was..." Inside her van, Rose let out a long breath, feeling her taut nerves relax considerably.

After resting in the van for a while, Rose took out a bottle of water and gulped down half of it.

Suddenly, a mysterious aura spread from Rose's body.

Rose, who had been slumped there resting, sat straight up, surprise and delight appearing in her eyes.

Then the voluptuous Rose pulled open the van door and stepped out, without even putting on her loose cloak this time.

As Rose got out, her impossibly voluptuous figure drew countless gazes all at once, and the sounds of people swallowing rose one after another.

Rose ignored their attention. Moving her long legs, clad in lace stockings held up by garters, she walked toward the bus ahead.

Inside the bus, Luo Fan and the other Sequence Users had gathered to discuss how to divide the gasoline in the tanker.

"Everyone, I've awakened my Sequence," Rose announced with a delighted expression as she walked over.
