Butcher looked at the two routes: one was a bridge, the other a fork in the road.

The vehicle immediately stopped.

-Remember to take the bridge!

Had Su Chen deliberately left this wooden sign?

"Strategist!"

At that moment, Butcher decided to call for Strategist.

He had wanted to examine the tire tracks and other traces on the road.

Unfortunately, when Su Chen had someone put up the wooden sign, he had considered that and done plenty to cover them up.

So now, he could only turn to Strategist.

Strategist soon got out of the Fire Engine and came over to the wooden sign.

He placed his hand on it.

He tried to use his ability to sense which direction the convoy ahead had gone.

However.

This fog really was poisonous.

Earlier, using his Sequence Two ability had already taken a toll on Strategist's body.

Now that he had inhaled the poisonous fog, his body could hold out even less.

"Choose..."

Strategist started to raise his hand, but before he could lift it, he passed out.

Seeing Strategist collapse, Butcher kicked him.

He began to think.

The first layer.

Su Chen definitely would not want him following directly.

So he would point the opposite way.

The second layer.

Su Chen would definitely guess that he would think that, and deliberately put it in the right place.

So he would point the same way.

The third layer.

Su Chen definitely would not stop at the second layer. He would consider Butcher's thoughts and think one layer further.

Therefore, he would point the opposite way.

Once Butcher started thinking, he felt as though his mind had jumped seven or eight layers in an instant.

There was only one truth.

And that was not to cross the bridge!

Butcher got back into the vehicle and headed down the fork.

Soon!

Butcher came upon a dead end.

The dead end was not the main issue.

Rather, countless statues of ghosts and gods stood among the cliffs.

"Woooo~"

Cries of alarm even came from these monsters' mouths.

Some of the motorcycles up ahead went straight into their mouths.

For a moment, no one even knew how the statues had attacked.

It was as if they had suddenly appeared beside them.

With almost no hesitation, Butcher wrenched the steering wheel around.

He turned the vehicle back!

The surrounding vehicles noticed Butcher's change and turned around one after another.

After reaching the bridge, Butcher drove straight over the wooden sign.

The sign was crushed to pieces.

The feeling of being outwitted so completely was truly more infuriating than losing a fight.

Once Butcher drove onto the bridge, he found that everything went somewhat more smoothly.

That seemed even more infuriating!

To catch up with Su Chen, Butcher sped up a little.

He had already lost some men without even catching up to them.

Butcher had never felt so defeated.

It was not as though he had never encountered other groups of survivors.

But.

This was his first time encountering such a troublesome opponent.

The worst part was how aggravating it was!

Butcher soon reached a second fork.

A road to the left.

A road to the right.

There was actually another sign on the left-hand road.

-Go left!

Butcher looked in both directions and gave an order.

"Two teams of hounds, scout in both directions!"

Butcher decided to scout out both routes to determine whether there were any problems.

The wait was not all that peaceful, either.

At least, Butcher felt somewhat irritated.

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly.

After Butcher had waited a good while, screams came from the right-hand fork.

The screams carried a great distance.

They were somewhat ear-splitting.

Butcher heard the screams, his heart as still as an ancient well.

He clenched his fists.

Butcher trampled the wooden sign on the left to pieces.

He had thought it was the right.

In the end.

It was the left again.

People always could not help guessing at an answer.

So infuriating!

Butcher truly felt he was being toyed with.

After getting the information he wanted, Butcher immediately got into the vehicle and gave chase.

"Aaahhh~"

Screams still came from behind.

As it turned out, there were still some Weird Entities on the road they had taken to the right.

Those Weird Entities had come chasing after them.

Because of this, quite a few people in the Cage had already become food.

Bang!

After driving some distance, Butcher suddenly spotted the hounds he had sent out.

Even when faced with his vehicle, they did not turn aside.

As a result, the Predator collided with a motorcycle.

The motorcycle was sent flying.

Just as Butcher thought it was merely one idiot, he discovered that the scouting hounds were crashing one after another.

Even hounds traveling in the same direction as him crashed into one another.

"Enemy attack!"

A warning immediately came over the Fire Engine's loudspeaker.

Butcher's vehicle stopped as well.

They had guts!

Upon realizing they were under attack, Butcher immediately stopped the vehicle.

"Heh, heh, heh!"

Xu Zihao also leaped from the Fire Engine onto the Predator.

Sharp claws grew from his hands.

Fangs grew in his mouth.

Xu Zihao stepped forward as well, ready to fight.

A moment later.

A vine appeared before everyone.

Vines!

Butcher immediately thought of someone in Su Chen's convoy whose Sequence used vines.

It seemed those people wanted to attack him under these conditions.

Blood qi gradually appeared over Butcher's hand, gathering into a fist that slammed into the fog.

"Hahaha!"

"Hehehe!"

Eerie laughter also sounded around them.

This was all Su Chen and the others' doing!

"Attack!"

Butcher gave the order, allowing everyone in his convoy to attack at will.

Whoosh!

Bang!

The bows and flamethrowers on those pickup trucks also attacked in every direction.

But even after they had been attacking for quite some time.

Screams still came from their own ranks.

Something seemed to have set its sights on his convoy.

Butcher stood in place for ten minutes.

He threw out the knife at his waist and retrieved it many times.

Yet it did not help at all.

Those enemies could not be seen at all.

The main problem was that more and more of his people seemed to be passing out in this environment.

Anyone could tell something was wrong.

The hooks at the corners of Butcher's mouth began twitching wildly as well.

It was clear that he was truly furious.

"Go!"

Left with no choice, Butcher returned to the Predator.

Vroom!

Butcher slammed on the accelerator and charged down the road again.

Butcher's expression was dark.

He had never expected that, after entering Fog Valley, he would not even be able to find the enemy.

Butcher had already made his decision.

Once he got out of Fog Valley, he would see whether Su Chen and the others had left.

If they had not!

He would make sure that bastard had no way out!

As Butcher's vehicle continued through the fog, the screams behind him did indeed become much fewer.

But.

Butcher soon encountered something he did not want to see.

A wooden sign!

-Danger ahead. Stop for a moment!

Upon seeing the wooden sign, Butcher instinctively stopped.

It seemed he was about to get screwed over again!

He frowned after reading those words.
