Su Chen looked at the convoy behind him, feeling somewhat wistful.
Without even realizing it.
He had actually become the leader?
Originally, he had only wanted to protect his little sister.
Who could have imagined things would come to this?
Su Chen had chosen to stop because he had seen some cars still inside the gas station.
These cars were parked beside the gas station.
Some even had their doors open.
But there was not a single person around.
That was clearly rather strange.
After the apocalypse.
With fuel in the gas station, why would anyone abandon their car?
Either someone was lying in ambush at the gas station.
Sometimes, people were worse than ghosts!
Or there might be Weird Entities inside the gas station, and the people refueling had been killed.
If they drove over, they would likewise be ambushed by the Weird Entities.
Even escaping would be difficult.
Su Chen had also considered the Tree People.
Su Chen did not dare gamble on just how human the Tree People were.
Whether they possessed human intelligence.
If someone set a fire when they entered the gas station, they would be in trouble.
They might be wiped out entirely.
Finally, there was the intelligence he was looking forward to.
There were three ways to refresh the intelligence.
The first was time.
The second was location.
The third was investigating for himself.
The gas station was marked on the escape map, so there was very likely intelligence here.
[Host detected stopping at the gas station. Intelligence is available. Please review.] [1. Weird Entity number 70546 is nearby. Staying no longer than 30 minutes before leaving is recommended.] [2. To refuel at the gas station, you must find the diesel generator in the warehouse.] [3. There are two Tree People in the convoy under the host's control. They may attack at any moment.] [4. Those of the Machine Soul Master Sequence can sacrifice their own flesh and blood to awaken a mechanical soul, forming a unique Anomalous Object.] [5. Machine Soul Masters possess a unique talent for writing and can create unique prosthetics. This is related to advancing in Sequence.] [6. Those of the Werewolf Sequence become stronger under the moon, but their chance of losing control also increases.] [7. Several Weird Entities are still tracking the host's convoy. Please continue fleeing.]
A Weird Entity numbered in the seventy-thousands?
The sight of that number alone made Su Chen's heart race.
Last time, it had taken several people to deal with the Purple Stiff.
Judging by this Weird Entity's number, it felt as though it could easily send them all to their deaths.
Thirty minutes?
Seeing the time limit, Su Chen glanced at his watch.
It had been over an hour since they fled the village.
It was now 7:50.
They had to leave by 8:25.
The second piece of intelligence.
This was very useful.
The gas station used electric fuel pumps. Without electricity, pumping fuel really would be difficult.
There were also two Tree People in the group?
The third piece of intelligence hit Su Chen like a bucket of cold water.
Stopping earlier had been a very farsighted decision.
Had they entered the gas station now, something might already have happened.
There were over twenty people in the convoy, and they had to find two Tree People among them.
That would be no easy task.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth pieces of intelligence.
These were all related to Sequences.
Sacrifice flesh and blood?
Thinking of the price of Mechanical Ascension, Su Chen immediately understood.
Fuck!
Su Chen did not want to imagine what his little sister would look like as a machine.
So he would conceal those two pieces of intelligence.
Su Chen had no intention of telling his little sister the relevant information.
The Werewolf Sequence?
That should be Huang Wei, right?
Su Chen also glanced at the police car in the convoy.
The seventh piece of intelligence surprised him somewhat.
They had fled fifteen kilometers, yet still had not shaken off the Weird Entities tracking them.
Those Weird Entities were rather disgusting.
And rather powerful.
Su Chen also deduced another piece of information.
Although there were cars at the gas station, there probably was not anyone lying in ambush.
After all, a Weird Entity numbered over seventy thousand was nearby.
After reviewing the intelligence, Su Chen began considering how to arrange things.
Half an hour.
The Tree People had to be dealt with.
Among the crowd.
Leaving a hidden danger there certainly would not do.
Then they had to hurry and refuel before fleeing again.
It was urgent!
In fact, having the convoy stopped felt even more terrifying than being on the move.
"Little sis, watch the car!"
After calling out to his little sister, Su Chen took the Pig-Killing Knife and got out.
Su Xi had clearly awakened a Sequence.
But.
Thinking of sacrificing flesh and blood, Su Chen had no intention of letting Su Xi get involved.
At that moment, Yang Defa also got out and walked straight toward Su Chen.
"Su Chen, what should we do?"
Yang Defa had seen the gas station, but he trusted that Su Chen must have had a reason for stopping early.
"Shall we go find Huang Wei first?"
Su Chen intended to check on Huang Wei's condition first.
Huang Wei's ability.
Might be able to help.
"Huang Wei?"
Yang Defa naturally knew that Huang Wei had fallen unconscious. Puzzled, he asked, "Is he awake?"
Su Chen walked up to the police car and knocked on the door.
Zhang Xiaomeng lowered the window in confusion.
Then, hearing movement in the back, she glanced behind her.
Zhang Xiaomeng then saw her senior colleague Huang Wei groggily open his eyes.
"You're finally awake!"
Zhang Xiaomeng immediately found someone to rely on.
He really was awake?
Seeing Huang Wei wake up, Yang Defa glanced at Su Chen in amazement.
Su Chen really could predict everything.
"I'm awake!"
Huang Wei nodded and asked in confusion, "Where are we?"
Su Chen briefly explained the situation, saying, "Something has been chasing us all this time."
"Ever since leaving the village, we've been heading north."
Huang Wei glanced behind him.
Even though he still wanted to return to Changcheng, hearing this news told him the chances were slim.
Whatever Su Chen said was chasing them certainly could not be anything good.
Having seen the walking corpses, Huang Wei could not help swallowing.
Su Chen took the opportunity to look at Huang Wei, taking in some of his information.
[Name]: Huang Wei [Sequence]: Werewolf [Level]: Sequence One [Abilities]: Enhanced sense of smell, night vision, and wolf transformation. Speed and strength increase after wolf transformation. [Price]: Uncontrollably growing hair, which is quite a headache, and a mind that occasionally turns bestial.
Looking at Huang Wei's intelligence, Su Chen felt more assured.
Huang Wei might be able to find the Tree People.
He wasted no time and went straight to the point.
Su Chen said, "Have you sensed two people who are a little unusual?"
"Two?"
Hearing there were two, Yang Defa immediately frowned.
He had only discovered one.
"There's an old man from the village who's a little abnormal. Everyone calls him Eighth Master."
Yang Defa spoke about the old man he had noticed something wrong with.
Before fleeing, Yang Defa had already asked people to keep an eye out.
He had informants inside the vehicles.
After asking around, he had naturally discovered that some people were not quite the same.
"That Guangtian behind us."
"The skinny woman in the front passenger seat might have something wrong with her."
At that moment, Huang Wei sniffed and mentioned another person in the convoy.
Yang Defa looked at Huang Wei, sizing him up.
He kept feeling that Huang Wei had undergone some unusual changes.
Eighth Master and the skinny woman.
With Yang Defa and Huang Wei pointing them out, Su Chen spotted the two.
Eighth Master held a pipe, smoking and grinning.
The skinny woman was very thin.
The sort of thin that a gust of wind could knock over.
The two looked no different from normal people.
They certainly could not attack them directly.
That would alert them.
How could he make these two targets expose themselves?
Su Chen began to think.
Just then, grumbling came from the rear of the group.
"Our car's almost out of gas. Why won't you let us through?"
Su Chen turned to look.
Gao Yue and Fan Hui were trying to drive away the people blocking the road so they could drive toward the gas station.
Once again, they refused to follow orders?
Su Chen looked at Huang Wei.
He had an idea.
Su Chen wanted to get some things done through Gao Yue and Fan Hui.
But considering that Huang Wei was a police officer, he might not be able to explain an arrangement that used people as bait.
"I have an idea..."
Su Chen whispered his plan into Huang Wei's ear.
After hesitating, Huang Wei nodded.
Given Gao Yue and Fan Hui's refusal to cooperate with the group, it would be good for them to learn a little lesson.
After Huang Wei nodded as well, Su Chen got up and headed toward the convoy behind them.
Yang Defa went to the car and tucked the black dog blood and incense ash, divided into small portions, into his pockets.
Then the three of them went over to Gao Yue and Fan Hui's car together.
