"Rumble!"
The thunder grew louder.
The rain grew heavier, too.
Su Chen had turned on the fog lights long ago.
Only the fog lights allowed him to drive through the rain.
An hour.
It came a little sooner than expected.
At that moment.
The convoy was speeding along the national highway halfway up a mountain.
Fog Valley was still a long way away.
Su Chen actually breathed a sigh of relief.
After heavy rain.
Floods could easily occur in valleys.
The vehicles would not be able to get through and could even be swept away by the flooding.
The mountainside lay beside them, where water that could not drain into the channels in time formed waterfalls.
The trees on the mountainside had grown considerably lusher in just a few days.
Quite a few branches stretched onto the national highway.
They made the already dim surroundings even more eerie.
The road conditions were complicated.
Su Chen dared not let the convoy go too fast.
However, Su Chen noticed that the survivor convoy behind them was catching up.
There was something even stranger.
That convoy had disturbed many Weird Entities, which were gathering behind it.
Fucking hell!
It felt as if they had baited the waters.
Ridiculous!
Su Chen watched that survivor convoy draw closer to his own.
It seemed to be moving even faster.
An ominous feeling rose in Su Chen's heart, and he had no choice but to speed up.
"Speed up! Someone's coming from behind!"
Su Chen shouted into the Pager.
Immediately.
He pressed down on the accelerator, increasing the Refrigerated Truck's speed.
The vehicles behind him all accelerated.
Before long.
Su Chen saw the searchlights behind them.
The beams shone across a long distance and onto his convoy.
"Bang!"
Gunfire broke through the roar of the engines.
Searchlights!
Gunfire!
Together, they instantly plunged the entire convoy into a tense atmosphere.
And the greater the crisis, the easier it was for something to go wrong.
"Screech!"
Gao Yue's car was the first to stall.
Actually.
It was perfectly normal for this car to stall.
There was a problem with the front windshield.
Rain kept pouring into the car, soaking both Gao Yue and Fan Hui.
Just like that, the car stopped in the middle of the road.
After Gao Yue's car developed a problem, all the other vehicles swerved around it.
"Something's wrong with Gao Yue's car."
"Should we stop and take the two of them with us?"
Xiao Zixia immediately reported what she had seen.
Inside the Refrigerated Truck.
Su Chen hesitated for a moment.
Members of a convoy were supposed to support one another.
However, Su Chen had never been on good terms with Gao Yue and Fan Hui.
And besides.
A survivor convoy was currently pursuing them, and there was gunfire.
He did not know what was going on.
If the convoy stopped.
The entire convoy might face disaster.
"Don't stop!"
"Keep going!"
Su Chen issued new orders.
Stopping!
It might mean death.
Yang Defa went without saying.
He did not question Su Chen's judgment at all.
There was already a rift between them.
Why should he stay behind to save them?
Huang Wei edged the Police Car toward the side of the road and slowed down just a little.
"You're not alone anymore, senior."
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaomeng spoke.
She had seen through Huang Wei's thoughts: he did not want to abandon anyone.
But.
Gao Yue and Fan Hui's earlier shamelessness had gotten to Zhang Xiaomeng.
Zhang Xiaomeng and Huang Wei were junior and senior colleagues.
They had spent the past few days together, and feelings of various kinds had developed to some extent.
Huang Wei also realized that he might get his junior caught up in this.
After hesitating for a moment, he pressed down on the accelerator anyway.
Xiao Zixia went without saying.
She was smart.
In her eyes, Gao Yue and Fan Hui had always been people who could be abandoned at any time.
Xiao Zixia was not driving the School Bus.
It had been Chen Siwen, the bespectacled former teacher, all along.
"Keep up!"
After Xiao Zixia said those words, Chen Siwen stepped on the accelerator and pushed up his glasses.
The experiences of the past few days had taken him away from the peaceful school grounds.
Chen Siwen simply felt as if his blood were burning.
Perhaps!
He was suited to a more exciting life.
Of course, Chen Siwen possessed a kind of calm madness; the crazier he felt inside, the calmer he looked.
Inside the School Bus, Zhou Shufen clung tightly to the seat in front of her and nearly threw up.
She had only just been rescued.
She had only just enjoyed a little peace.
Now it had turned into a chase again, with the vehicle shaking violently, as though she could lose her life at any moment.
It was Zhou Shufen's first time experiencing anything like this.
Dizzy, she neither wanted to speak nor could get a word out.
"Hey! Hey!"
Watching the convoy's lights recede, Gao Yue felt somewhat desperate.
"Maybe the other convoy will be better."
Fan Hui was relatively optimistic.
Fan Hui had wanted to leave Su Chen's Hope Convoy for a long time.
She felt that following Su Chen offered not the slightest hope.
Gao Yue fell silent.
Her hands rested uselessly on the steering wheel, helpless.
Behind them.
The Predator Convoy soon approached.
"Boss, there's a car ahead."
"There seem to be people inside!"
At that moment, the man in Butcher's passenger seat spoke.
This bald man with a tattooed face had yellow eyes that looked like an eagle's.
He belonged to the Eagle Sequence.
He possessed both long-distance vision and night vision.
"Screech!"
Butcher immediately hit the brakes, stopping his vehicle in front of Gao Yue's car.
The convoy behind him came to a stop.
After getting out, Butcher walked up to the battered car.
Two old women!
Butcher frowned when he saw what was inside.
They actually used women like these as a disposable tail. Wasn't that too much of an insult to me?
Still.
These two could give him some information about the convoy ahead.
That was something, at least.
Butcher reluctantly accepted the reality before him.
He grabbed the car door and tore it off with a slight exertion of force.
Looking at the hulking figure before her, Fan Hui shrank toward Gao Yue.
"What's the situation with the convoy ahead?"
Butcher began asking questions.
Fan Hui's eyes shifted, and she immediately thought of a way to get revenge on Su Chen.
"The convoy ahead is called the Hope Convoy. Su Chen is in charge."
"There are three Sequence members in it."
Three Sequence members?
Butcher nodded.
He was a Sequence member himself, and he considered all Sequence members a new kind of human.
Seeing Butcher nod made Fan Hui even happier.
She believed her information was important.
Perhaps she could gain some status in this convoy.
"They also have plenty of supplies, a whole Refrigerated Truck full."
"They seem to have some Anomalous Object, too. They took something out of a Human-Skin Lantern."
Fan Hui provided a great deal of information.
An Anomalous Object!
Butcher's pupils contracted.
Had the convoy ahead really taken the Anomalous Object?
That information was enough.
Butcher decided he would catch up with the convoy ahead, no matter what.
Since he had already obtained useful information, there was no need for this old woman to stay alive.
The somewhat younger one beside her could serve as a reward for his men.
Butcher's hand rested on Fan Hui's neck.
At the same time, Fan Hui was dumbfounded.
"I... clearly told you."
Fan Hui still wanted to struggle.
But the hand before her showed no intention of stopping.
"I know of another Sequence!"
Left with no other choice, Fan Hui thought of the little boy in the trunk.
When Butcher heard there was another Sequence, his hand paused briefly.
He was more lenient toward Sequences.
If a Sequence submitted to him, they would have no shortage of women or food.
