The Survival Convoy welcomed its new members with a filling meal of Ghost Hand Mushrooms, then chose Tuanjie Village as its next supply destination. After a woman in reflective clothing appeared in every vehicle’s rearview mirror overnight, the convoy prepared to leave, and Yang Yong recognized Li Bixiang when she brought him breakfast.

• Qi Peiliang explained that Ghost Hand Mushrooms could become valuable trade goods if the convoy learned to cultivate them, and the former Peace Convoy members ate their fill.
• Cao Xianming asked Qi Peiliang to choose among three supply locations, and Qi selected Tuanjie Village despite its longer travel time.
• Cao Xianming checked Tuanjie Village’s coordinates with the Data Model and decided the convoy would set out there the next morning.
• A woman wearing reflective clothing appeared in the rearview mirrors of every vehicle in the parked convoy overnight.
• The convoy prepared to depart in the morning, and Yang Yong recognized Li Bixiang when she brought him breakfast.

Yang Yong and the convoy set out for Tuanjie Village, but the trip was interrupted when the van lost its brakes and steering. Zheng Xiaofeng stopped it, and Cao Xianming concluded that an unknown spirit-like presence—not a mechanical failure or an Eerie—was responsible.

• The convoy departed for Tuanjie Village, with Qi Peiliang explaining the destination over the radio.
• Skinny Monkey reported that the van's brakes and steering had failed, and it began swerving toward the other vehicles.
• Zheng Xiaofeng caught up to the van and lifted it into the air, after which its brakes and steering returned to normal.
• Skinny Monkey described the van's sudden problems, while Qi Peiliang sensed no Eerie presence and suggested the occupants move to the bus.
• Cao Xianming said his Data Model showed a zero percent chance of an Eerie and proposed that a stranger spirit-like being had caused the incident.

The convoy discovered that an unknown entity was drawn to their Curio-powered vehicles and could mainly affect their instruments. They switched the remaining vehicles to Blood Moon energy and continued toward Tuanjie Village, while the entity began fruitlessly triggering warning lights across the convoy.

• Black hair burst from Hu Xian'er's Soul-Binding Fan and filled the bus as it searched for an unseen eerie presence, while Xiao Xuan's Buddha-Light Jewel had no effect.
• Zheng Xiaofeng reported that his off-road vehicle's warning lights were flashing, and Cao Xianming warned that the entity might target the vehicles at the front.
• Cao Xianming concluded that the entity was more interested in vehicles than people and had followed the convoy because its vehicles ran on Curios.
• Yang Yong sent Xiao Xuan to Qi Peiliang's off-road vehicle and Mang Dabiao to Liu Hong's van so they could switch both vehicles to Blood Moon energy.
• As the convoy continued toward Tuanjie Village, the entity moved from vehicle to vehicle and set off warning lights throughout the convoy.

The convoy encountered a female ghost that could imitate voices and attack people through reflective surfaces, and Cao Xianming warned everyone not to look at mirrors or cameras. The ghost then made some drivers see a cliff where the highway was clear, throwing the convoy into chaos.

• Xiao Xuan’s voice warned that a bridge had collapsed, but the intact bridge revealed that the ghost was trying to mislead the convoy into taking a detour.
• Mang Dabiao spotted a female ghost in his rearview mirror, described her appearance, and pulled her partly out when she tried to drag his snake head into the mirror.
• Mang Dabiao reported that the ghost could attack anyone who looked at her, so Cao Xianming told the convoy not to look at mirrors, windows, or dashcams.
• The ghost vanished, then spoke through every vehicle’s speakers and claimed a cliff lay ahead.
• Yang Yong saw the road was clear, but Wang Qian and Old Zhao perceived a cliff, and the drivers began braking, accelerating, and swerving out of formation.

Yang Yong and the convoy survived an obsession aggregate’s attempts to mislead them, and Cao Xianming identified the entity as a human obsession made manifest by the Blood Moon. The convoy continued onward, knowing the threat existed only through reflections and attacks on perception.

• Zheng Xiaofeng dragged Wang Ying’s off-road vehicle away from the road’s edge after its driver saw a false cliff.
• A resentful sigh reached everyone’s minds, and Cao Xianming explained that the entity interfered with perception rather than directly causing physical harm.
• Yang Yong ordered the convoy to distrust sights and sounds unless at least two people confirmed them, while Mang Dabiao’s defiance helped restore morale.
• The convoy resumed its journey, and the next fifteen minutes passed without another strange incident.
• Cao Xianming concluded that the entity was an obsession aggregate: a human fixation on cars transformed by Blood Moon energy into an information-state being visible only in reflections.

Cao Xianming realized that the figure haunting the convoy was an aggregate of at least seventeen to twenty car-related obsessions, formed from people who died in vehicle accidents. The aggregate was drawn to the Blood Moon-powered vehicles, and the chapter left the convoy without a plan as Cao Xianming continued calculating.

• Yang Yong asked why the figure targeted cars, and Cao Xianming explained that its words were fragments of memories from before its victims died.
• Mang Dabiao reported that the face in his rearview mirror kept changing between people and emotions, as though many lives were taking turns within one shell.
• Cao Xianming recalculated his data and concluded that at least seventeen to twenty obsessions had fused together, all belonging to people who died in car accidents.
• Mang Dabiao described the changing faces as scenes switching between channels, and Cao Xianming identified the entity as a "car spirit," an obsession aggregate with no core or self-awareness.
• Cao Xianming warned that the aggregate might dissipate or become a newborn Eerie if one obsession consumed the others, but he admitted he had no records or immediate solution.

Yang Yong tested whether the Red-Clothed Female Ghost could travel between mirrors, while the convoy continued toward Tuanjie Village with Mang Dabiao watching an Obsession Aggregate in a rearview mirror. When Qi Peiliang sensed an Eerie eighty kilometers ahead, Wang Ying ordered the convoy to charge straight through.

• Yang Yong sent the Red-Clothed Female Ghost into a rearview mirror and found only an endless white space with no connection to other mirrors.
• Yang Yong reported his findings to Cao Xianming, while Mang Dabiao kept the figure in the rearview mirror under watch.
• Qi Peiliang sensed one Eerie presence eighty kilometers ahead and asked whether the convoy should detour or confront it.
• Cao Xianming calmed the convoy, estimating that rain lay ahead and that Eerie still avoided sunlight.
• Wang Ying ordered the convoy to charge straight through.

Wang Ying attacked the approaching Eerie with the Black Gold Ancient Saber, slicing apart its dark-cloud covering and scorching it with sunlight. The wounded Eerie fled before she could finish it, and the convoy erupted in relief and cheers.

• Cao Xianming proposed that the convoy approach the Eerie and let Wang Ying test whether she could defeat it.
• Qi Peiliang spotted an unnatural bank of dark clouds rushing toward the convoy, and Wang Ying climbed onto the vehicle roof to confront it.
• Wang Ying's first slash split the clouds and exposed the Eerie to sunlight, making it scream, but the clouds quickly re-formed.
• Wang Ying unleashed more than a dozen slashes, tearing the cloud bank into fragments and forcing the Eerie to cry out in pain.
• Wang Ying prepared a final strike, but the Eerie abruptly turned and fled, prompting the convoy to cheer.

After Wang Ying drove off the Eerie, Qi Peiliang accepted the Survival Convoy’s strength and felt more secure among its members. The convoy reached the Old Shanghai Suburban Farm to investigate it as a possible campsite, and Yang Yong spotted a pond that might still hold fish.

• Wang Ying returned to her vehicle after slashing the dark clouds and driving the Eerie away.
• Qi Peiliang sensed the Eerie retreating, then exchanged a smile with Liu Hong and felt reassured about joining the Survival Convoy.
• Cao Xianming led the convoy toward a likely safe zone, and Qi Peiliang confirmed there was no Eerie presence at the Old Shanghai Suburban Farm.
• Cao Xianming sent Skinny Monkey and Xiao Xuan to search the farm while the convoy members inspected its stripped rooms and intact wood-fired stoves.
• Yang Yong looked out toward the pond and overgrown vegetable beds, wondering whether any fish remained.

Cao Xianming told Yang Yong that his Sequence Two ability should be bestowing spirits on the Curios he refined, though he warned that probing the Sequence’s secrets risked provoking a terrifying presence. He then drew the group’s attention to the Obsession Aggregate in the van’s rearview mirror.

• Yang Yong watched Xiao Xuan and Skinny Monkey return from patrol while Cao Xianming continued calculating the Obsession Aggregate.
• Cao Xianming called Yang Yong over and announced that his Sequence Two ability should be bestowing spirits on the Curios he refined.
• Yang Yong demanded to know what else Cao Xianming had calculated, but Cao Xianming warned that his Data Analyst Sequence risked provoking a terrifying presence.
• Yang Yong recalled the Yellow Talisman and the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace, then accepted that some hidden secrets might offer protection if left unknown.
• Cao Xianming tapped the van’s rearview mirror, where the Obsession Aggregate silently changed its face and wept.

Cao Xianming proposed turning the Obsession Aggregate into an Eerie so Yang Yong could subdue it and gain a Car Spirit. He explained that Yang Yong first needed to forge a Curio Mirror to give one obsession an advantage and make it the aggregate’s new core.

• Cao Xianming explained that the Obsession Aggregate could either become an Eerie when one obsession dominated or be resolved until it dissipated.
• Cao Xianming urged the group to help it become an Eerie, and Yang Yong revealed the Three-Yang God-Sealing Banner and summoned three Eeries he had subdued.
• Cao Xianming said he had calculated ten possible methods, then recommended extracting one obsession and helping it devour the others to create a new Eerie.
• Yang Yong brought out the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace and asked Cao Xianming how to proceed.
• Cao Xianming told Yang Yong to forge a Curio Mirror, which would become the obsession’s vessel and give it the advantage needed to devour the others.

Yang Yong forged a bronze mirror and used it to draw an obsession out of the van’s side mirror. When the blue-clothed woman tried to escape, his three Eerie subdued her and turned her into a small bronze-mirror doll.

• Cao Xianming told Yang Yong to forge a mirror sturdy enough to survive being reforged.
• Yang Yong used a scale from an unknown Eerie to make a Semi-Curio bronze mirror.
• Yang Yong pressed the bronze mirror over the van’s side mirror, where countless ghostly hands struggled to enter it.
• The side mirror shattered, and a blue-clothed woman emerged from the bronze mirror’s light and tried to flee.
• The Red-Clothed Female Ghost, the Love Letter Ghost, and the Little Girl Eerie stopped the woman; the Little Girl Eerie’s slap turned her into a small bronze-mirror doll.
• Qi Peiliang and Liu Hong watched in stunned disbelief as Yang Yong’s Eerie subdued the woman.

Yang Yong realized the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace needed a vehicle as the vessel for refining the bronze mirror Doll, so he risked sacrificing his pickup truck. The furnace transformed it into the Deep-Blue Enchantress, a powerful curio with an autonomous car spirit, and Yang Yong discovered he was immune to its costs.

• Yang Yong placed the bronze mirror Doll in the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace, which stripped away ten hidden obsessions before beginning to forge it.
• After the furnace continued clanging for hours, Cao Xianming identified the missing ingredient as the vessel.
• Yang Yong deduced that the obsession aggregate's connection to vehicles meant he needed to use a vehicle, and chose his heavily upgraded pickup truck despite the risk.
• Mang Dabiao inscribed a formation on the pickup and shrank it, and Yang Yong cast it into the furnace.
• The furnace produced the Deep-Blue Enchantress, a curio with an autonomous car spirit and dangerous costs that did not affect Yang Yong.

Yang Yong tested the blue pickup he had reforged and found that its new woman-shaped spirit could operate the vehicle but could not speak. A persistent angler then hooked an enormous, eerie black carp in the farm pond, leaving the crowd stunned by its size and spider-like legs.

• Yang Yong climbed into his blue pickup and saw a silent, expressionless woman in the windshield, whom he suspected had lost her memories.
• Yang Yong tested the woman’s control over the pickup’s driving and functions, then decided to ask Cao Xianming to divine the vehicle’s phasing ability later.
• A middle-aged angler hooked something in the pond and struggled to keep his fishing line from snapping.
• The crowd gathered as an immense dark shape rose from the pond, and Yang Yong watched from his pickup.
• The angler hauled up a gigantic black carp with eight lizard-like legs, astonishing everyone.

Yang Yong disposed of the dead Eight-Tentacled Carp and continued toward Tuanjie Village, where the Deep-Blue Enchantress warned him of an anomaly on the road. After the convoy stopped and the others found nothing, Yang Yong investigated beneath an elevated roadway and saw something that stunned him.

• Yang Yong confirmed that the Eight-Tentacled Carp was long dead, then absorbed its remains into the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace.
• As everyone left the pond, a dark shadow climbed onto the middle-aged man who had caught the creature and disappeared while his fishing line retracted into his palm.
• The convoy set off for Tuanjie Village the next morning, and Yang Yong considered the Deep-Blue Enchantress’s limited ability to make the vehicle intangible.
• The Deep-Blue Enchantress warned of an anomaly ahead, so Yang Yong ordered the convoy to stop.
• Cao Xianming calculated that the anomaly was about a hundred meters ahead, but Qi Peiliang and a scout found nothing there.
• Yang Yong flew ahead to investigate and dived beneath the elevated roadway, where he saw something that left him dumbfounded.

Yang Yong and the Survival Convoy avoided a section of road damaged by a powerful creature, using Blue Demoness to find a detour through a small village. Yang Yong began searching one of the village houses and found evidence of a mutated plant whose essence had been drained.

• Yang Yong discovered that claw marks had nearly severed the road's support pillars, and Blue Demoness warned that the road would collapse under the convoy.
• Cao Xianming calculated the likely casualties and injuries, then asked Yang Yong to have Blue Demoness find a detour.
• Blue Demoness led the convoy off the highway and down a narrow route, where Zheng Xiaofeng and Liu Hong lifted the bus out of a ditch.
• The convoy reached a small village and split into six teams to search its houses for supplies.
• Yang Yong found a withered vine reaching into a house and confirmed it had once been a mutated plant when his flying dagger made it crumble.
• Yang Yong stayed outside and used his Heavenly Dragon Slash Flying Daggers to knock the house's windows loose.

Yang Yong and the other teams scavenged a village, finding food, supplies, and live hens while Yang Yong discovered three skeletons and fragments of a dead mutated vine. The convoy set off toward Tuanjie Village, but overgrown vegetation soon blocked the mountain road and forced Yang Yong to act.

• Yang Yong searched a house with three female ghosts and stripped it of supplies, then found three skeletons in a boy's room and buried them in the courtyard.
• Wang Ying's team found six sacks of unhusked rice, Zheng Xiaofeng's team collected a little rice and flour, Mang Dabiao and Hu Xian'er brought back kitchenware, and Liu Hong's team returned with hens and eggs.
• Cao Xianming used his Data Model to confirm the slightly mutated hens could survive, and Yang Yong forged cages for them with the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace.
• Yang Yong wondered what had killed the mutated vine but dismissed the mystery, and the convoy resumed its journey toward Tuanjie Village.
• As the Demoness Pickup Truck led the convoy deeper into the mountains, thick vines formed a wall across the road, and Yang Yong had to act.

Yang Yong spotted a vine-covered figure following the convoy and learned it was likely a mentally unstable plant-type Sequence Transcendent. Cao Xianming calculated that it had a 99.9 percent chance of bonding with Yang Yong, and the chapter ended with Cao warning that it had already latched onto him.

• Yang Yong saw a strange figure watching the convoy, then spotted a humanoid creature wrapped in vines as the vehicles crossed the summit.
• Yang Yong asked Qi Peiliang whether the follower was an Eerie, and Qi said it was not.
• Yang Yong told Cao Xianming about the creature and suspected it was connected to a withered Climbing Vine.
• Cao Xianming calculated that the creature was a plant-type Sequence Transcendent and that Yang Yong had a 99.9 percent chance of forming a bond with it.
• Qi Peiliang warned that a Sequence Transcendent suffering severe psychological trauma could go mad and become a deadly monster.
• Cao Xianming said the creature had already latched onto Yang Yong, who turned to look behind him.

Yang Yong’s convoy escaped the vine-covered figure and reached the outskirts of Tuanjie Village, where Qi Peiliang sensed Eerie all around them. Cao Xianming proposed using Yang Yong’s three female ghosts to conceal the convoy overnight so they could gather supplies and leave at dawn.

• Yang Yong watched the vine-covered figure follow the convoy through the forest, then the vehicles returned to the highway and finally outran it.
• Cao Xianming joked over the radio that the pursuer was probably a beautiful woman, prompting Yang Yong’s angry retort and laughter from the convoy.
• The convoy drove toward Tuanjie Village and arrived near evening.
• Qi Peiliang sensed Eerie auras in every direction and warned that the convoy was surrounded.
• Cao Xianming proposed forming a circle with the vehicles and having Yang Yong release all three female ghosts to mask the scent of the living overnight.
• Cao Xianming said the team would wait until sunrise, gather supplies quickly, and leave Shanghai without lingering.

Yang Yong, Cao Xianming, and Qi Peiliang used the Three Great Female Ghosts to hide the Survival Convoy from the Eerie overnight. After surviving, the convoy prepared to enter Tuanjie Village, where Cao insisted they needed enough supplies to escape Shanghai.

• Yang Yong deployed the Red-Clothed Female Ghost, the White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost, and the Little Girl Eerie to conceal the camp in yin energy, causing the approaching Eerie to lose track of the convoy.
• A vine-covered figure following a faint bond stopped in the woods when the connection vanished and remained motionless through the night.
• Qi Peiliang confirmed in the morning that the Eerie had dispersed, and Lao Zhang ordered the convoy to prepare for a supply run to Tuanjie Village.
• Qi Peiliang sensed four substantial Eerie auras inside Tuanjie Village and questioned whether the convoy should risk entering.
• Cao Xianming insisted the convoy needed to gather enough supplies to leave Shanghai, warning that they would otherwise be worn down by the Eerie.

Cao Xianming assigned the convoy two supply routes through Tuanjie Village, warning Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Liu Hong that their route through the Song Family Ancient House would definitely encounter an Eerie. The trio reached the ancient house, where its gates opened by themselves.

• Qi Peiliang worried that the Survival Convoy might have to leave Shanghai after gathering supplies, while Liu Hong eagerly anticipated a battle that could help him advance to Titan Sequence Two.
• A vine-covered figure moved toward Tuanjie Village, drawn by a powerful summons, as the convoy prepared to set out.
• Cao Xianming instructed ordinary people to search the Homestay Cluster and assigned Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Liu Hong to pass through the Song Family Ancient House and empty its twelve warehouses.
• Cao Xianming warned that Yang Yong's group was guaranteed to encounter an Eerie and set a deadline for everyone to return before four in the afternoon.
• Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Liu Hong reached the Song Family Ancient House, where its gates creaked open before Wang Ying touched them.

Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Liu Hong crossed an eerie old house while heading for Tuanjie Village’s warehouses to collect supplies. After they left, the woman in a painting followed them, and they found a powerful stench on the other side of the wall.

• Yang Yong used the Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring to take the old furniture from the house, unknowingly releasing a ghostly hand hidden among it.
• Wang Ying sensed gazes from a woman in a painting and a closed guest room, but Yang Yong led the group onward to avoid a confrontation.
• Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Liu Hong climbed over the courtyard wall toward the warehouse district.
• After the group left, the woman in the painting slid out and followed them, while an old woman briefly appeared in the guest room doorway.
• Yang Yong and the others landed beyond the wall and were hit by the stench of decay; Yang Yong looked up and was shocked by what he saw.

Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Liu Hong searched a warehouse complex, salvaging clothes but finding the food in one warehouse spoiled. When a woman from a painting and other Eerie appeared, Yang Yong ordered Wang Ying to cut open the warehouse roofs, revealing a store of grain and oil as danger closed in.

• Wang Ying opened a warehouse filled with rotten fish and maggots, and Yang Yong realized the food supplies were lost.
• Yang Yong used the Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring to take an entire warehouse of clothes.
• Yang Yong spotted the woman from the Song Family Ancient House clinging to a wall, and Wang Ying attacked her with the Black Gold Bone Blade.
• Yang Yong led Liu Hong and Wang Ying out, then saw more gray figures lurking in the warehouse shadows.
• Yang Yong ordered Wang Ying to cut open the warehouse roofs, and the sunlight provoked strange cries from Eerie inside.
• Yang Yong flew onto a roof and discovered a warehouse full of rice, flour, grain, and cooking oil, but a chill struck as he prepared to collect it.

Yang Yong tried to capture the Old Tailor Eerie’s scissors while Wang Ying and Liu Hong fought through the warehouse. Wang Ying drove the Eerie into a sunlit corner, freeing Yang Yong to gather supplies as she kept it occupied.

• The Old Tailor Eerie attacked Yang Yong with its bone-like scissors, and Yang Yong trapped them in the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace.
• The scissors pierced the furnace and Yang Yong’s palm, so he summoned the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace to suppress them; the Old Tailor Eerie responded by attacking with its measuring tape.
• Wang Ying slashed open the warehouse roof, exposing the Old Tailor Eerie and lesser Eerie to sunlight and forcing the Old Tailor into the shadows.
• Liu Hong burst through the warehouse doors as Wang Ying attacked the Old Tailor Eerie and told Yang Yong to gather the supplies.
• Yang Yong used the Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring to make a stack of flour disappear while Wang Ying kept the Old Tailor occupied.

Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Liu Hong cleared a warehouse of supplies while fighting off Eerie, but found the next five warehouses empty. At the eleventh warehouse, another group warned them off with a sniper, and Yang Yong ordered Liu Hong to shoot the gunman.

• Yang Yong collected the fourth warehouse’s supplies as Wang Ying held off the Old Tailor Eerie and Liu Hong guarded her; the Eerie escaped through a wall beneath a black cloak.
• The group found the fifth through tenth warehouses completely emptied and hurried toward the eleventh after hearing fighting inside.
• A sniper on a distant rooftop fired a warning shot at Yang Yong and his companions.
• Yang Yong gave Liu Hong the Flesh-and-Blood Submachine Gun and told him to take out the gunman.
