Sequence: Thief!

Chapter 2.

"Lu Sheng, what are you doing!"

Liu Ruyan poked her head out the car window and watched Lin Yi disappear into the darkness, her voice brimming with anger. Of course, she was not worried about whether he lived or died.

"A useless piece of trash. He can buy us some time."

Lu Sheng spoke indifferently, his tone full of mockery.

Liu Ruyan looked at him. The anger in her eyes gradually faded, and instead, she sighed. "We're going to run out of our stockpiled food sooner or later. If that idiot were still here, he could help us gather supplies."

"According to that old man up front, the supernatural resurgence is worldwide. When the food runs out, are you going to gather supplies, or am I?"

Lu Sheng visibly froze at her words, and his expression soured considerably. Still, he said, "What's there to be afraid of? That piece of trash is dead, but aren't there other people?"

Lu Sheng's gaze wandered over Liu Ruyan's body, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily. Sometimes, aren't women a kind of hard currency too?

Naturally, Liu Ruyan had no idea what Lu Sheng was thinking. Looking at the supplies in the back seat, she felt considerably more at ease.

After being thrown out, Lin Yi grimaced in pain, but he had not suffered any particularly serious injuries.

The pain was amplified, but the damage did not stack.

With his hiking backpack cushioning the impact and his body strengthened after becoming a Sequence Transcendence, he had only scraped his skin. That was all.

"Liu Ruyan."

A cold glint flickered in Lin Yi's eyes. In his field of vision, a red number was still constantly shifting, only a little farther away now.

With the Saint Mother Sequence, he could track anyone he had locked onto, no matter how far away they were!

Unfortunately, he could only mark three people at present.

Liu Ruyan was one, and Lu Sheng was another.

"From the looks of it, my two abilities are still a little too passive."

Lin Yi got up, glanced at the poor souls fleeing like headless chickens, then sprinted toward the convoy.

Since this was a main road, roughly thirty-odd survivors were fleeing nearby.

Unfortunately, on foot, how could they possibly outrun Lin Yi, a Sequence Transcendence!

In the darkness, the streetlights had already gone out.

After sprinting for half an hour, Lin Yi could barely see the fleeing crowd anymore.

Only his own footsteps echoed along the entire road. If not for Liu Ruyan's scarlet marker, it would have felt as though he were the only person left in the world.

The cold wind howled past his ears.

For some reason, every hair on Lin Yi's body stood on end in an instant!

This was the danger sense unique to Sequence Transcendence!

"Damn it."

Lin Yi cursed under his breath. Rather than slowing down, he burst forward even more frantically.

He did not foolishly turn his head to check behind him, either.

Keep going! I can only survive if I catch up to the convoy!

Clinging to that thought, Lin Yi fled at a frantic pace.

Soon, the sensation that made his hair stand on end finally disappeared.

"Phew!"

But just as he exhaled a stale breath, his body abruptly froze.

At that moment, his heartbeat seemed about to break past its limits.

Every hair on his body stood on end again.

Beneath a shadowy tree a dozen or so meters away.

A figure with its head lowered, roughly the same size as an ordinary person, was staggering toward him one step at a time.

Its face was hidden beneath a pitch-black hood, and its entire body seemed to merge with the darkness. Only its right hand, hanging beside its body, held a blood-red dagger that gleamed coldly!

"Hah, hah, hah."

Lin Yi frantically tried to regulate his breathing. Retreating was absolutely impossible.

His danger sense told him there was another supernatural entity behind him!

If he fled, he would be caught between the two and die without a doubt!

As for fleeing to either side of the road, he did not think there would be fewer supernatural entities there.

"Fucking hell, neither of my abilities is for combat."

Lin Yi took a deep breath, bitterness welling inside him.

If he had a combat Sequence, perhaps he could charge past.

"I'll risk it."

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and began moving his feet.

He tried to seize a slim chance of survival through a Sequence user's physical abilities!

Closer.

The distance between the two kept shrinking!

Eight meters.

Five meters.

Four meters.

Three meters!

One meter!

"Now!"

Without sparing the figure another glance, Lin Yi shot forward like a cheetah from his standstill.

With life and death hanging in the balance, adrenaline surged through him, and he even left a whistle through the air in his wake!

I made it!

Feeling the blood-reeking gust from nearby, a flash of delighted surprise crossed Lin Yi's eyes.

But that delight quickly turned to terror.

An overpowering stench of blood and rot instantly enveloped him.

The supernatural entity he had left behind appeared a meter away without warning.

Its head remained lowered, hidden beneath its hood.

But its right hand had already begun to rise slowly.

Yes, slowly.

It clearly looked slow.

Yet Lin Yi felt that no matter what he did, he could not evade it.

The one-meter gap vanished in an instant.

The blood-red dagger was aimed at Lin Yi's heart.

The foul stench had almost buried him.

"Fuck."

Sensing the threat of death, Lin Yi twisted his body at an unnatural angle at the very moment his heart was about to be pierced.

Rip.

He evaded the fatal blow by the narrowest of margins.

Unfortunately, one of his arms traced a high arc through the air, moving farther and farther away from him.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Cold sweat drenched his entire body, and Lin Yi's face was deathly pale, without a trace of color.

The Saint Mother's amplified pain nearly made him pass out.

But at the cost of an arm, he instantly put considerable distance between himself and the supernatural entity.

"As long as I survive, that's good enough."

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and endured the agonizing pain.

But in the very next moment.

Bloody mist gathered at the stump of his arm.

In the blink of an eye, a brand-new arm appeared!

"Holy shit!"

Lin Yi could not help swearing, his pupils dilating uncontrollably.

Apart from the little finger sacrificed by Sequence: Thief, every other part was practically identical! Even the skin was a little softer and smoother than before!

And the 40 belonging to Liu Ruyan in his vision instantly became 20!

"So the Sequence Holy Mother can be used like this too!"

Before Lin Yi could feel delighted, the thick smell of blood enveloped him again.

Not good!

He looked up. Sure enough, the supernatural entity had appeared again not far away. It still slowly raised its arm, still made no unnecessary movements, yet death enveloped Lin Yi.

What do I do? What do I do?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Yi's mind in an instant.

His body instinctively began to dodge.

Soon, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Fine, fine, fine. Let's see how you kill me without your weapon!"
