The instant Lin Yi disappeared, every Sequencer's expression turned utterly grim.
"Lin Yi, you have to come back alive."
Bai Xiaoyu bit her red lip, tears shimmering in her eyes.
"Ah, two foolish children." Elder Qi shook his head but gave no order to stop moving.
In their current situation, stopping would only mean waiting to die.
Lin Yi activated Void Walking and sprinted through the wild grass.
His Sequence 2 mental power could sustain it for longer.
The Blade of Greed kept flipping in his hand, reflecting his unsettled state of mind.
He told himself over and over to be more cold-blooded, more cold-blooded.
Even his body was telling him this was an unwise choice.
But in the end, he had failed to hold himself back.
"Fuck, I just don't want to waste someone who can die in my place."
Lin Yi cursed, following close behind Da Sha.
The vines retracted extremely fast.
Only after Lin Yi had sprinted for a full half minute did the vines finally slow down.
And at the end of the vines was actually a giant aberration bound by countless strands of purple wild grass.
The aberration before him looked exactly like the ones he had encountered earlier.
The only difference was that it stood a full three meters tall.
Dozens of vines were embedded all over its body.
The vines kept pulsing, seemingly drawing energy from the aberration's body.
The surrounding grass was also densely embedded in its body, clearly using it as nourishment.
Unconscious survivors lay all around the aberration.
Its eyes were unfocused, and its mouth full of sharp teeth crunched through the unconscious survivors.
The giant aberration's belly was like a ball. Every time it swallowed a human, a swarm of small aberrations tore through its belly and scrambled out, racing toward the convoy.
It did not even need to lift a hand. After it ate one survivor, the vines would deliver the next into his mouth.
"Damn, the apocalypse really does have everything."
Lin Yi cursed inwardly. He had figured it out.
These vines, the wild grass, and the giant aberration probably had a symbiotic relationship.
After observing carefully for a while, Lin Yi sighed inwardly.
He could not bring other people along with him when using Otherworldly Walking.
Taking Da Sha away was clearly unrealistic.
His only option was to find an opening to kill the giant aberration in one blow.
With the Blade of Greed, he still had a chance.
Using Void Walking, Lin Yi quietly crept behind the giant aberration.
The giant aberration was sitting down. He only needed a small leap to reach its head.
Lin Yi considered it for only an instant before pushing hard off the ground.
The next moment, his body sprang high into the air.
Space rippled, and Lin Yi appeared.
Before the giant aberration could react, the Blade of Greed plunged viciously into its skull.
"Aah!"
The giant aberration finally let out a piercing scream.
Its head drooped, and it instantly went lifeless.
It worked!
Joy stirred in Lin Yi's heart. He had not expected it to be so easy.
But the next moment, his eyes widened despite himself.
Crack, crack, crack...
The dead giant aberration slowly stood up.
Vines coiled around its arms.
The wild grass controlled its legs.
Just like that, they manipulated it into swatting a palm at Lin Yi.
"That's cheating!"
Lin Yi spat and hurriedly activated Otherworldly Walking.
When he reappeared, he was already beneath the vines.
The Blade of Greed traced a streak of bloody light, severing the vines connected to one arm.
But the next moment...
The vines suddenly grew wildly, wrapping around the giant aberration's arm again.
Lin Yi: ...
How am I supposed to fight this?
He glanced at the purple grass binding the giant aberration's feet and understood.
"This way, you shouldn't be able to move!"
He stopped tangling with the giant aberration, hoisted the unconscious Da Sha onto his shoulder, and hurried back the way he had come.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
The sound of swaying grass kept rising in the distance as densely packed figures raced toward Lin Yi.
"Damn it."
Lin Yi felt his scalp prickle.
Surrounded by so many aberrations, even if they were a bunch of weaklings, he could still be worn down to death.
"If I can't fight you, can't I hide?"
Lin Yi moved aside a patch of soil and grass beneath his feet, tossed Da Sha inside, then covered him with soil again.
He himself immediately activated Otherworldly Walking.
Sequence Transcendents had strengthened bodies; they would not suffocate that quickly.
Lin Yi could only pray the aberrations would not discover Da Sha.
The aberrations seemed to have no intelligence, knowing only to charge toward the giant aberration.
Before long, the vast horde of aberrations had passed Lin Yi and gathered beside the vines.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness."
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. These aberrations had not dug up the ground.
But soon, his expression turned grim again.
As the small aberrations reached the vines, they actually began rapidly burrowing into the dead giant aberration's belly, one after another.
And the giant aberration's body was rapidly swelling.
Then, with a pop, a second head sprouted beside the giant aberration's head...
A third...
A fourth...
Before his eyes, the giant aberration grew to five meters tall.
Lin Yi instinctively swallowed, dug Da Sha out, and ran with him over his shoulder.
"What the fuck is that thing?!"
With one head, he could still kill it instantly.
With so many heads, how the hell was he supposed to fight it?!
Lin Yi darted through the wild grass, encountering not a single aberration this time.
But when he turned to glance back, that thing had already grown nine heads and reached a terrifying height of fifteen meters!
In this situation, never mind having Lin Yi assassinate it.
Even if it stood there and let him kill it, he would struggle.
Soon, Lin Yi reached the patched-together car he had overturned.
The strength of Sequence Transcendence was on full display at that moment.
Lin Yi strained with both arms, and with a tremendous crash, he forcibly flipped the patched-together car upright.
Vroom!
The engine roared as Lin Yi sped toward the shared marker without looking back.
"Roar!"
A piercing roar came from behind him.
Then the earth seemed to tremble.
Lin Yi glanced in the rearview mirror and was scared out of his wits.
The giant aberration, now a full twenty meters tall, was breaking into a run.
"Fuck!"
Cold sweat covered Lin Yi's forehead.
If it caught him, one stomp would send him to his grave.
"Da Sha, you've really screwed me over."
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and floored the accelerator.
Faster!
Even faster!!!
