By the afternoon, the outline of a city gradually appeared before them all.
"We're here."
Lin Yi murmured under his breath.
"Bzzzt."
A sound came from the radio.
"We only have two hours to gather supplies. Everyone, get ready."
Elder Qi's voice came over the radio, followed by a looping loudspeaker announcement that echoed through the convoy.
Sunlight poured over the entire city.
Yet as they approached, all they felt was an icy chill.
The sunlight offered no warmth at all.
The roaring convoy charged into the city, as though awakening this colossal beast.
Countless eyes watched them from the shadows.
Without stopping, several modified vehicles rushed toward nearby supply points.
The survivors continued sweeping through all kinds of small shops.
Lin Yi headed straight for a gas station again.
He refused to believe he would end up with another authentic Shijiazhuang Beef Noodle Soup this time!
Many people had the same goal as Lin Yi, and five vehicles followed close behind him.
Soon, the outline of a gas station appeared before them.
Without a word, Lin Yi grabbed the first spot at a pump.
Da Sha still sat blankly in the passenger seat without moving.
Lin Yi had prepared several containers for storing gasoline.
With fewer vehicles here this time, there was more than enough for him to fill several containers.
Unlike Lin Yi, the people in the other vehicles split their duties, some pumping gas while others swept through the little convenience store.
After one escape after another, even the disorganized survivors had developed a certain degree of order.
They worked smoothly together, finishing quickly and withdrawing.
After filling ten containers, Lin Yi glanced at the sky and hurried back toward the main group.
But just as he reached an intersection-
"Boom!"
A heavy crash rang out.
At a blind corner, a truck bearing the words "We're all doing our best to stay alive!" shot out!
"Lu Sheng, you fucking bastard."
Lin Yi's expression changed when he saw the vicious grin on the driver's face.
That animal clearly wanted to kill him.
"Bang."
Without the slightest hesitation, he did not even glance at Da Sha in the passenger seat. He smashed the window with a punch and nimbly leaped out.
He did not spare the crumpled SUV a second look.
But the instant he leaped out-
"Bang."
Another crash rang out.
It was a sedan.
Huang Nana was driving it.
Cruelty filled Huang Nana's eyes.
With nothing to push off against in midair, Lin Yi was struck and sent flying in an arc.
It hurt. It fucking hurt!
Damn the Saint Mother Sequence!
It hurt like hell!
With Lin Yi's physical constitution, a collision like this did not cause much damage.
But the amplified pain twisted his face.
"Die, die, die!"
Like a raving lunatic, Huang Nana nearly stomped the accelerator through the floor.
"Bang."
Another impact.
Just as Lin Yi was about to hit the ground, he was struck hard again.
It was Xiao Chusheng.
After three consecutive collisions, Lin Yi could do nothing even if he wanted to.
He slammed into a nearby noodle shop like a cannonball.
The moment Lin Yi found his footing, he prepared to charge out.
Only to see the "doing our best to stay alive" truck suddenly surge forward, trapping him inside the noodle shop.
Darkness engulfed him completely!
"Heh, that psycho's definitely dead now, right?"
Huang Nana clapped her hands, looking at the truck completely blocking the noodle shop, very satisfied with her handiwork.
Lu Sheng stepped forward and slapped Huang Nana's backside. "Nicely done."
Xiao Chusheng said nothing, but he could not hide the smile on his lips.
They had finally dealt with that annoying fly.
"Eat, time to eat..."
A stiff voice echoed in the darkness.
As a Sequence Transcendent, Lin Yi could also see a little in the dark.
He was in the noodle shop's dining area, and the stiff voice came from the dark kitchen.
"You bastards, just you wait."
Lin Yi's expression was icy, and the Blood Dagger had silently appeared in his hand.
His strength was not enough to move the vehicle blocking the entrance.
The only thing he could do now was deal with the supernatural entity before him first.
Supernatural entities could not be killed, but Sequence Transcendents were an exception.
Lin Yi's gaze was cold.
I might not have a combat sequence, but I refuse to believe I can't wear it down with my lives!
"Eat, time to eat..."
The stiff voice drew closer and closer.
In the darkness, a normal-height fat figure a meter wide, dressed in a chef's uniform, gradually came into view.
However, its once snow-white chef's uniform was now covered in mottled bloodstains.
A hideous wound split his chest open from top to bottom.
Countless hands waved constantly, seemingly trying to escape his chest.
Its eyes were vacant, and its torn mouth kept opening and closing, as though chewing something.
The sight was just like a game Lin Yi had once played.
A character in it was called the Butcher.
However, the Butcher entity before him did not have a cleaver in its hand. Instead, it held a pitch-black Rolling Pin.
"Another Anomaly?"
Lin Yi's eyes flickered.
"Eat, time to eat..."
The Butcher walked toward Lin Yi step by step with a stiff gait.
"An Anomaly? Hand it over."
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yi activated Sequence: Thief.
The Rolling Pin, emitting black vapor, instantly appeared in his hand.
Stealing the Rolling Pin did not leave him dazed, which meant this Anomaly's sequence was not high.
He had no time to check the Rolling Pin's sequence information.
The Butcher was already lunging at him wildly.
Losing the Rolling Pin seemed to have enraged it.
Its formerly vacant eyes turned utterly scarlet.
"Roar!"
A monstrous roar burst from the chef's mouth.
"Die."
Lin Yi suddenly darted forward, stabbing the Blood Blade in his hand toward the Butcher's head.
But just as he was about to reach the Butcher-
The arms that had been flailing wildly in its chest like mere decorations suddenly lengthened.
In an instant, Lin Yi was bound tightly like a mummy.
Countless hands dragged him toward the Butcher's belly.
Lin Yi did not panic at any point. His icy eyes stared at the Butcher as he waited for an opportunity to strike.
"Roar!"
The Butcher roared again.
Lin Yi had already been pulled into his chest.
"It hurts. It hurts so much."
The Butcher's body was like a meat grinder. Lin Yi watched his own body being pulverized, the pain constantly battering his will.
"No rush. No rush."
Feeling his tightly bound body, Lin Yi remained utterly calm inside.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
His body kept being ground apart.
Until it became a pile of mangled flesh in the Butcher's gut.
The noodle shop.
Fell silent...
The Butcher's scarlet eyes became vacant again.
He turned and was about to walk toward the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, a human-sized cloud of scarlet mist coalesced without warning.
It took shape extremely quickly.
Before the Butcher could react-
A low shout came from the mist. "Sequence! Divine Thief!"
As the roar fell, a scarlet gleam flashed with a whistle through the air.
The Butcher's head flew high, then slammed heavily onto the floor.
His body, which had still been moving forward, also fell heavily with a thud.
The blood mist dispersed, revealing Lin Yi's naked figure...
"Damn it, fine, resurrect me, but can't you copy my clothes over too?"
Lin Yi grumbled somewhat speechlessly, then began rummaging through the kitchen, trying to find something he could wear.
In the end, he only found an oversized chef's uniform.
"Sigh."
Lin Yi sighed, his gaze falling on the faintly trembling Blood Blade.
[Anomaly name: Broken Blood Dagger.] [Rumored to be an indescribable weapon.] [Anomaly sequence: 2020.] [Trait 1, Sacrifice: Killing can continually increase the Anomaly's strength!] [Trait 2, Rend: Wounds torn open can never heal!] [Trait 3: Locked...]
