Three Road Signs-Which Would You Choose?

The so-called chain stratagem.

It used an information gap to send the opponent racing down the wrong path.

In history, had Cao Cao not known that an east wind could be deadly?

There had simply been no east wind at the time.

He knew the fog in Fog Valley was poisonous, so he needed to mislead his opponent.

The poisonous fog in the middle was toxic.

He would make Butcher mistakenly believe he would set an ambush in the poisonous fog.

He would keep wearing Butcher down here.

Once Butcher emerged from the fog, he would face the real blow.

Su Chen worked out the details of the chain stratagem in his mind.

This brought him back to the third plan.

What kind of Weird Entity was the most powerful?

Su Chen felt that the Weird Entity in his own mind would be more powerful than any other.

He only needed to make his opponent believe there were Weird Entities in the fog.

Su Chen looked at the map again.

Fog Valley lay in the deepest part of the mountain forest along this stretch of mountain road.

That was why a bank of fog had gathered there.

Fog Valley was only about three kilometers long. It really did not look very long.

If it had not merged with the Weird World, that would have been about three minutes on a highway.

Even in a city, it would only take ten minutes.

However.

After the two worlds merged, there was no telling when an extra stretch of road might appear.

For that reason, running back and forth was simply not suitable.

So the group would definitely have to split into two teams.

Not setting traps or ambushes in the foggy middle section would save them time.

Su Chen suddenly felt fortunate that the pager radio had already become an Anomalous Object.

Otherwise, the plan would certainly have been difficult to carry out.

Once Su Chen had thought it through, he issued his orders.

"Everyone, the time for the final showdown has come!"

"Cover your mouths and noses with towels. Don't breathe in the poisonous fog."

"Xiao Zixia and Huang Wei, stay in the School Bus outside the fog. Wait until the enemy arrives before entering the fog."

"The rest of you will go ahead with me. I'll explain some of the conditions along the road. You two, listen carefully."

Su Chen gave the orders.

Yang Defa handed out all the towels.

A moment later, everyone had a soaking wet towel over their face.

They also had masks.

They had no gas masks here, so this was all they could do.

Then Su Chen drove the Refrigerated Truck into the fog.

In the fog, even with the fog lights on, he could barely see a few meters ahead.

It was Su Chen's first time traveling this road, too.

He did not drive very fast.

This stretch of road looked extremely winding, seemingly affected by the Weird Realm.

They kept coming upon turns.

The uneven stones on the ground looked like skulls.

Splash, splash!

Waaah! Waaah!

Su Chen could hear that there was also a river beside the road, in the middle of the valley.

But.

Strange cries came from the river.

Beside him, Su Xi was also watching the road conditions and relaying information over the pager radio.

"Three minutes farther ahead, there's a bend. Watch out for it."

"After five minutes, there's a bridge and a fork in the road. Remember to take the bridge..."

Su Chen stopped the truck beside the bridge.

He had not expected to find terrain like this in Fog Valley.

This terrain was clearly an opportunity for him.

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen put up a sign beside the road.

A few words were written on it.

-Remember to take the bridge!

Su Chen had simply planted something for later on a whim.

After putting up the sign, he got back into the truck and continued driving through the fog.

Overall, things remained relatively peaceful.

Su Chen felt that the greatest difficulty was that Fog Valley actually had all sorts of forks in the road.

After crossing the bridge, they came upon yet another fork.

A road to the left.

A road to the right.

Su Chen checked the system panel, which showed that they should take the road on the left.

He wanted to put up another wooden sign.

Do not ask why.

Su Chen simply could not help himself.

Su Chen put up another sign beside the road on the left.

-Go left!

"Hehe, do you think they might take the wrong way?"

When Su Xi saw this, she could barely keep a straight face.

Their luck really had started improving after they entered the fog.

A fork like this alone was enough to make someone laugh.

"Who knows?"

"What if they get lucky?"

Su Chen truly did not know whether the other side would follow the route he indicated.

They might have some other means at their disposal.

So this was not the main outcome he was after, just something he did along the way.

Su Chen checked the time.

They had actually spent almost an entire hour traveling through the fog.

It clearly did not feel as though much time had passed.

In this Fog Valley, the so-called poisonous fog might be the least of their problems.

Once Su Chen emerged from the fog, he was no longer in such a hurry.

He looked at the cliffs on either side and the bend in the road.

Naturally, he would prepare traps and an ambush here.

Whether it worked or not!

They would have to fight a battle here.

Su Chen took out the last sign and planted it beside the road.

-Danger ahead. Stop for a moment!

After putting up that sign, Su Chen led the convoy to a stop at the bend.

He found a path and climbed toward the cliffs on either side.

Others began digging pits in the middle of the road.

This stretch was a dirt road, which made things convenient for them.

Pits of all sizes appeared in the road, covered with branches, dry grass, and then dirt.

There was no helping it!

None of them had any weapons with a bit more power.

They could only use more primitive methods.

Rocks were also prepared atop the cliffs beside the road.

When the time came.

Ordinary people could contribute some fighting strength this way.

While Su Chen was doing all this, he also heard a voice over the pager radio from the School Bus behind them.

"Captain!"

"They're here. What do I need to do?"

When Su Chen heard that they had arrived, he stood a little straighter.

"Head straight into the fog and follow the route I told you to get here."

"The faster, the better!"

"Remember the first two signs. Just follow their directions. Once you're out of the fog, drive over to the left side of the road."

Su Chen explained a few details.

"You all need to pick up the pace, too!"

After finishing his instructions to Huang Wei, Su Chen also gave orders to the survivors around him.

This really would be a tough battle!

Su Chen knew he might very well die here.

But.

They had no choice but to fight this battle.

Su Chen looked at the somewhat dim surroundings and knew that Weird Entities were approaching.

In the face of Weird Entities, humans were still fighting among themselves.

He had to admit.

It was rather ironic.

At the same time.

At the entrance to Fog Valley.

When the Predator Convoy spotted the School Bus, they chased it inside without hesitation.

After gaining Xu Zihao, a Sequence Two, Butcher was also feeling somewhat invigorated.

This meant luck was on his side.

They had caught up again!

Butcher perked up and charged forward with his group.

He thought that since the other side's entire group had gone in, there was no need for him to hesitate.

Inside the School Bus, Xiao Zixia pressed down on the accelerator and began racing ahead.

She sensed the environment through the surrounding plants.

There was almost nothing hindering her driving.

Five minutes later.

Xiao Zixia saw a bridge.

Su Chen had said to charge straight across the bridge.

Xiao Zixia drove across the bridge and vanished completely into the fog.

Behind her, the Predator Convoy arrived late, with the School Bus already nowhere to be seen.
