The Wolf Pack had become a lone wolf. Only the wolf king remained, bearing crossbow wounds and gunshot wounds.
A gun?
Su Chen could not help glancing behind him.
On the Escape Map, another survivor convoy was right behind them.
Had the Wolf Pack encountered that survivor convoy ahead of time?
The two had clashed.
Although they were not the same species as the wolf king, and attacking it was normal, this was enough to show how formidable the other survivor convoy was.
He wondered where the gun had come from.
Looking at the gunshot wounds on the wolf king, Su Chen immediately felt he needed to be more cautious.
Su Chen did not attack the wolf king.
The wolf king kept a certain distance from the convoy.
That made it difficult to attack.
Another reason was that there was no time to waste.
Su Chen watched the moving red dots on the Escape Map, readjusting to it.
The nearest Weird Entity, numbered 89034, had sensed the convoy's presence and was gradually pursuing them.
They had to hurry and escape.
Even a slight delay might let it catch up.
When the wolf king saw the convoy leaving, a flicker of hesitation passed through its eyes.
It recognized them.
This was the convoy that seemed somewhat familiar.
So the wolf king kept its distance and gradually followed.
Of course, its silhouette still gradually vanished into the darkness.
Rumble!
Suddenly, red lightning flashed through the dense black clouds beside the Red Moon.
It looked like rain was coming!
Xiao Zixia's voice also came through the Pager.
"Captain!"
"An extreme downpour will arrive in another hour."
Xiao Zixia confirmed the weather report.
For Xiao Zixia, the plant-filled surroundings were like water to a fish.
Her ability had grown stronger.
Thus, she had sensed the change in the weather the moment it began.
"Understood!"
"Keep moving!"
Su Chen answered Xiao Zixia and calmly issued his orders.
Traveling in the rain would be very difficult for the convoy.
Nothing would be better than having somewhere to stop and shelter from the rain.
But they had only just set out. Where could they shelter?
All they could do was try to see whether they could leave the rain zone within an hour.
Although the chances were slim, they still had to look for an opportunity to try.
Su Chen began having the convoy accelerate.
Behind him, the other vehicles followed closely.
Yang Defa and Wang Xiumei's Truck, Huang Wei's Police Car, and Xiao Zixia's School Bus.
There were also the three coal trucks carrying two Loaders and an Excavator.
Loaders and tractors were slow, so hauling them on trucks saved fuel and time.
Farther back were Gao Yue's car and the others' cars.
Gao Yue was driving, and the thunder left Gao Yue completely numb.
A plastic sheet had been fitted over the car's windshield.
However, the plastic sheet certainly could not keep out the rain, and water would easily get into the car.
The car might end up ruined!
Gao Yue could not imagine being without a car and was deeply worried.
Fan Hui, meanwhile, kept glancing toward the trunk.
A little boy was hidden inside.
Fan Hui was a little worried about whether something might happen to the boy trapped in the trunk.
Hot Spring Village.
After Su Chen and the others set the fire, the Golden Spring Hotel had become a sea of flames.
In the sky were the Red Moon and red lightning.
It was already the apocalypse, and it looked like the apocalypse.
Some time later.
A survivor convoy appeared before the sea of flames.
At the front was an off-road vehicle.
The word "Predator" had been spray-painted onto its body.
A ram had been fitted to its front.
The second vehicle was a fire engine.
Its red paint had long since been painted over in a chaotic mess.
A lookout tower had been installed on the fire engine's roof, equipped with high-powered searchlights and a long-range loudspeaker.
Behind it were several pickup trucks.
Swiveling mounts had been welded to their roofs, along with heavy crossbows and flamethrowers.
Bones symbolizing victory hung beside the weapons.
At the rear were some trucks.
Iron cages had been welded onto these trucks.
Inside the cages.
Quite a few naked men and women were imprisoned, separated among several vehicles.
Some of them wore chains.
All these prisoners looked utterly hopeless.
There was no telling what kind of torment they had endured.
Alongside them, quite a few young people with dyed hair and outlandish appearances rode motorcycles.
They had all kinds of metal rings on their faces and held machetes and lassos.
The entire convoy numbered roughly a hundred people.
The door of the "Predator" off-road vehicle opened, and a burly, two-meter-tall man stepped out of the driver's seat.
He wore armor that concealed his figure.
A mask covered in barbs hid his face, leaving only his bald head exposed.
He was Butcher, the convoy's leader.
"Butcher!"
"Butcher..."
After Butcher got out, fanatical roars erupted from almost every vehicle.
Butcher raised a hand, and every sound stopped abruptly.
The door of the fire engine behind him opened, and a scrawny figure tumbled out.
At least in front of the burly man, he looked very scrawny and short.
The scrawny man crawled up to Butcher and lay at his feet.
He licked those iron boots three times.
"Strategist, what's going on here?"
"Aren't you of the Prophet Sequence? Why did you fail to find this village all this time?"
Butcher nudged the head at his feet with his boot, his voice hoarse and unhurried.
Yet it sent an involuntary chill through people's hearts.
The man called Strategist could not help trembling.
Butcher would not kill him, but he treated everyone equally.
There would be no shortage of punishment.
After a moment's thought, Strategist lowered his head and said, "Boss Butcher, the Anomalous Object blocked my perception. That alone shows how powerful it is!"
He could not say it was his own fault. It could only be that the Anomalous Object was powerful.
The Prophet Sequence could vaguely sense the presence of Weird Entities, Anomalous Objects, and Sequences within a certain range.
However, it could not determine their numbers or strength.
The entire Predator convoy had sensed the presence of an Anomalous Object and Sequences, avoiding Weird Entities as they tried to approach.
No one had expected that they would keep going in circles.
Now, they had finally managed to get in.
Yet all they saw was a sea of flames. The Anomalous Object was long gone.
"After them!"
After receiving the news, Butcher hesitated no longer and turned to get into his vehicle.
Vroom, vroom, vroom!!
The roar of engines immediately rang out.
With Butcher in the lead, the vehicles scrambled to get moving.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...
The speakers on the modified fire engine at the back also began playing a battle song.
The singing was a howl, a roar.
"The apocalypse is God!"
"We are the scavengers!"
"Plunder and slaughter are how we survive!"
"New humanity!"
"We roar for the hunt!!"
The flamethrower above the loudspeaker also spat flames from time to time.
"Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The young people on the motorcycles roared one after another.
Like hunting dogs, the motorcycles followed close behind the convoy.
They pursued in the direction Su Chen's convoy had taken.
After the convoy left, torrential rain fell from the sky.
Whoosh!
Beneath the Red Moon, even the raindrops were tinged red, like blood pouring from the sky.
Yet the Golden Spring Hotel was still burning.
The flames showed no sign of going out. Instead, they burned ever more fiercely...
