"Butcher!"

"Prey!"

"Prey!!"

Quite a few motorcycle scouts had already gathered in front of Butcher.

These people roared.

Sparks had already begun shooting from the motorcycles' exhausts.

Once bitten, twice shy.

The ambush at the bend the first time had caught them off guard.

So they had to send people to scout ahead, no matter what.

Inside the Predator.

Butcher gripped the steering wheel so tightly that it had warped slightly.

That was enough to show the fury in his heart.

Even Hawkeye beside him had grown cautious.

He feared accidentally provoking Butcher.

Behind them.

Inside the fire engine.

The Strategist also drew a symbol beneath himself with blood.

This was the ability of the Prophet Sequence's Sequence Two, the Priest.

The Strategist was only Sequence One.

So he was consuming his lifespan to use a Sequence Two ability ahead of time.

A few images suddenly appeared in the Strategist's mind.

A mudslide?

After getting a rough sense of those fragments of the future, the Strategist immediately warned Butcher through the Pager.

"Boss Butcher, there might be a mudslide up ahead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Strategist passed out completely.

Aboard the Predator.

After hearing the news, Butcher stepped on the accelerator again, trying to catch up with Su Chen even faster.

The vehicles behind him roared as well.

On one of the trucks.

Xu Zihao, the little boy of the Ghoul Sequence, had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Many dark patterns appeared on his body.

At the same time.

The burned-out vehicles at the bend had been left behind.

And amid the flaming heap of scrap metal, a lone wolf gradually emerged.

The Wolf King's wounds had already healed, gradually forming scars.

The Wolf King had grown considerably larger again.

It approached the burned corpses on the ground and began tearing at them.

Before long, the corpses were in pieces, and blood covered the corners of the Wolf King's mouth.

The Wolf King did not eat. It was simply venting.

"Awooo~"

The wolf's howl seemed to vent the anger in its heart.

Early morning.

The first ray of sunlight shattered the gold-edged clouds, revealing a layer of embroidered color.

Su Chen did not know whether he was imagining it, but he kept feeling that the sun was appearing later and later.

It was already seven in the morning.

On a sunny slope.

Su Chen led the convoy to a stop.

Xiao Zixia placed her hand on a plant, sensing the soil's condition through its roots.

A moment later.

Xiao Zixia shook her head. "The soil around here is still relatively stable. It'll be hard to trigger a landslide or mudslide."

Su Chen nodded, then looked at Chen Siwen. "Have you finished mixing it?"

Chen Siwen was mixing some powders together.

"Almost."

Chen Siwen looked at the packet of explosives he had made with paper.

"Set one off and give it a try!"

Su Chen told Chen Siwen to try setting one off first and see what happened.

The soil conditions here were not quite suitable.

But Su Chen thought of how the bend earlier had already put the convoy on alert.

He could mix real attacks with feints.

Those convoys would lower their guard, and he might be able to pull off a feint.

Finally, Su Chen calculated the timing and left an explosive charge, tossing it by the roadside.

Time passed.

The Predator Convoy soon passed the sunny slope.

Bang!

Suddenly, an explosion rang out on the mountainside.

A great deal of dirt flew out, and some rocks came tumbling down.

Apart from the first few vehicles that rushed through, the rest of the Predator Convoy stopped.

Butcher had just made it through.

But after getting through, he also stopped by the sunny slope.

Nothing happened at all?

Butcher frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

This was what the Strategist foresaw?

He might as well not have foreseen anything!

Feeling that he had already avoided one danger, Butcher continued driving in pursuit.

The little bug had provoked him again and again.

It had already stoked the fury in his heart to its limit.

At the same time.

Seeing on the Escape Map that the Predator Convoy had stopped for less than a minute, Su Chen could not help sighing.

He was already leading the convoy forward at full speed.

Perhaps their vehicles were not as capable as those of the opposing convoy.

The distance was still closing little by little.

They could catch up at any moment.

Fortunately, he had the Escape Map, which let him navigate better and monitor how close the enemy was getting.

Whenever necessary, he urged everyone to speed up.

So although they constantly seemed about to be caught, they had not been caught yet.

But going on like this was no solution.

Before Su Chen could think of a solution, he saw a sedan gradually breaking down.

That car carried three people from Yang Defa's village.

They could not be abandoned like Gao Yue and Fan Hui.

He had originally kept those two in the group precisely so they could serve as bait at any time.

"Abandon the car and get on the School Bus!"

Su Chen had the people in the sedan transfer out and quickly head to the School Bus.

Only the School Bus still had spare seats now.

After having them transfer, however, Su Chen started his vehicle again.

Following that delay, the opposing convoy was even closer.

Another spot.

A place where a landslide might occur.

Soon.

Su Chen's convoy reached another spot prone to landslides.

There was also a warning sign nearby.

As before, Su Chen had the sign removed.

Since they were even shorter on time.

He again had Huang Wei transform straight into a Werewolf and pull the sign out.

Huang Wei seemed quite satisfied with the sign and actually tied it to the Police Car.

After sensing the area, Xiao Zixia shook her head again.

This place was unsuitable.

Another explosive charge was dropped.

Once Su Chen drove off again, he was already questioning whether the second plan was feasible.

If it was not.

Then he could only abandon it outright.

But.

The thing Su Chen least wanted to see still happened.

Before they could find a third location where a mudslide might occur.

They heard the roar of engines.

Along with that deafening singing.

"We are the Scavengers!"

Singing in the apocalypse?

Su Chen truly found it absurd.

But there was no time to think too much now.

Two thousand meters.

One thousand meters.

"Enemy attack!!"

Yang Defa's roar erupted from the radio.

Su Chen looked in the rearview mirror.

The two convoys were practically touching.

The off-road vehicle with an enormous ram mounted on its front-the Predator-charged toward the truck like a velociraptor.

With no other choice, they could only dump both the Loader and the Excavator.

Boom-!!!

The Predator's ram slammed hard into the Loader as it toppled down, producing a piercing crash.

The sound echoed, stabbing everyone's eardrums.

Like a discarded toy, the Loader began tumbling toward the roadside.

The vehicles of the Predator Convoy behind it swerved to avoid it.

Of course, this did nothing to slow the pursuit.

"Hold steady!"

"Don't panic!"

"All vehicles, keep pushing forward! Don't stop!"

Su Chen could not help roaring into the radio as well.

As soon as he finished speaking.

He saw bandits grinning viciously on the roofs of several modified pickup trucks.

They set up Heavy Crossbows and fired bolts at the convoy.

Bang! Bang!

Several bolts even pierced the vehicles and remained embedded in their bodywork.

Su Chen also saw a bolt skim past the window.

The Refrigerated Truck's side mirror was shattered to pieces.
