After driving for several hours, Jiang He pulled over by the roadside.

Even Superpower Sequence users needed to eat and use the toilet.

"I need to solve this problem..."

Seeing the convoy members walking away from the bus, looking everywhere for places to mark, Jiang He rested his fingers on his chin.

If they had to stop every time someone needed the toilet, it would be a real waste of time.

But he didn't have any System Points to spare on adding toilets to the bus now...

As Jiang He fretted over the problem, his gaze happened to fall on the floor beneath his feet.

His eyes lit up at once. He had finally thought of a solution.

The bus could absorb filth.

So all he had to do was partition off two separate spaces, and the toilet problem would be solved!

Unfortunately, there was no sheet metal around...

He would make do with those tents!

"Mmm~ Ngh~"

A catlike murmur suddenly came from behind him, interrupting Jiang He's thoughts.

Wang Qian seemed to have recovered somewhat and slowly sat up.

She raised a hand to rub her sleepy eyes, only to discover Jiang He staring straight at her.

"Ah!"

A startled cry rang out in the RV as Wang Qian pulled the blanket over her head.

"What a fuss over nothing!"

Jiang He curled his lip and shook his head. He had just started to turn around when something behind him dug into him.

Wincing at the pain, he reached behind himself and discovered that the Lightning-Struck Wood had fallen onto the seat at some point.

Right!

He hadn't asked this woman yet!

As though he had just remembered something, he got up from the driver's seat.

He walked slowly toward Wang Qian, who was wrapped in the blanket.

"Have you seen anything like this before?"

Paying no heed to the distinction between men and women, Jiang He hauled Wang Qian straight out of the blanket.

He thrust the Lightning-Struck Wood right in front of her.

Back when he killed the Picky-Eating Weird, he had noticed that Liu Lu and this woman seemed to recognize Sequence Wonders.

He had intended to ask them about it then, but he had never had the chance.

Now he could finally ask the question on his mind.

Pulled out of the blanket by Jiang He like a helpless chick, Wang Qian screamed and instinctively tried to cover her private parts.

But after a flurry of movement, she realized she hadn't taken her clothes off at all...

Thud!

A fist struck the seat!

The two people inside didn't think much of it, but the scream alarmed Liu Lu outside the door.

After reconstituting his physical body, his eyesight also seemed to have recovered.

At that moment, he stared at the RV's iron door with a vicious look, his teeth grinding!

"Bastard! Didn't he say he only wanted Qianqian to drive?"

Even as a level-five Demon Seed, he couldn't hear the details of their conversation.

All he could hear was Wang Qian's scream, which continued for several seconds...

The agonizing feeling of anxiety was more than he could bear.

Bang, bang, bang!

A pounding on the door shattered the awkward atmosphere inside the RV.

Before either of them could react, an extremely furious roar reached their ears:

"Bastard! Don't forget our agreement! Qianqian is only your driver!"

Hearing that deeply suppressed roar, Wang Qian knew Liu Lu had gotten the wrong idea.

She was afraid Jiang He would say something shocking again and deliberately enrage Liu Lu outside the door.

So before he could speak, she cut in:

"I'm fine, Liu Lu. I'd just woken up and was a little grumpy, that's all!"

Hearing Wang Qian's normal tone, the furious Liu Lu abruptly froze.

Then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looks like I misunderstood...

He didn't doubt her words in the slightest.

Because Wang Qian did occasionally have that habit...

Jiang He had never intended to interrupt this time.

All his attention was on the Sequence Wonder.

Only when it had fallen quiet outside the door did he ask again:

"Have you seen a Sequence Wonder before?"

Feeling a sharp pain in her wrist, Wang Qian finally came to her senses.

When she saw the Lightning-Struck Wood in front of her, her eyes darted away and she began to stammer...

Seeing the woman's reaction, Jiang He was certain his guess had been right.

"What do you know? Tell me everything! If you dare lie to me or hide anything, those people in the Rampage Group..."

Jiang He knew exactly where Wang Qian's weakness lay. He only had to frighten her a little, and the woman would take him seriously.

She might be utterly cold-blooded toward other ordinary people.

But she cared deeply about the good brothers who had stayed by her side all this time!

"You! Bastard!"

Seeing this bastard threaten her with the Rampage Group's members at every turn, Wang Qian was naturally furious.

But there was nothing she could do!

She couldn't beat him, and as for running...

Those brothers were all ordinary people. What would happen to them if she ran?

Seeing Jiang He's gaze grow colder, Wang Qian finally gritted her teeth and told him about her experience.

It turned out that neither of their Sequence Crystals had been picked up at all!

They had come from a convoy called Thunder.

According to Wang Qian, those people were extremely mysterious and possessed certain methods different from those of Superpower Sequence users!

The apocalypse had only recently broken out at the time.

The Rampage Group had been forced to halt their journey because of a food shortage and gather supplies in a nearby village.

But not long after everyone split up,

Liu Lu and Wang Qian had the misfortune of encountering a swarm of Mutant Beasts.

Those creatures looked like locusts and had long antennae. Every leap carried them more than twenty meters.

How could two ordinary people who hadn't awakened supernatural abilities possibly outrun them?

They were soon surrounded.

Liu Lu was sent flying while protecting her, and she didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Wang Qian fell into deep despair...

Perhaps she wasn't meant to die. Just as she closed her eyes and prepared to meet death,

that mysterious convoy appeared!

"I didn't understand anything at the time, so I didn't notice. It wasn't until I awakened a Superpower Sequence that I realized how strange they were!"

Wang Qian made the remark with a frown. Seeing that Jiang He said nothing, she continued her account.

The Thunder Convoy had more than a dozen members, and every one of them was incredibly powerful!

She didn't know whether they had no supernatural abilities or simply disdained to use them.

In any case, using only their physical strength and the strange weapons in their hands, they killed all the locusts.

In Wang Qian's telling, the Thunder Convoy was like the savior of the apocalypse. Not only had they saved the two of them, but they had also taught them some basic knowledge about the apocalypse.

What was strange, however, was that the crystals ordinary people scrambled to obtain seemed worthless in their eyes!

They casually tossed out two of them!

That made Wang Qian even more curious. After observing them closely, she discovered that the Thunder Convoy seemed to be fleeing from pursuers!

Every one of them was in a hurry and looked frightened.

They also repeatedly warned her not to mention them to outsiders, unless she met people like them...

"Do you know where they were going?"

Jiang He couldn't help wanting to see these people for himself.

Powerful physical strength, a Sequence Wonder for every member, and crystals given away on a whim!

The Thunder Convoy had possessed that kind of strength so early in the apocalypse.

Who wouldn't be curious?

But when Wang Qian heard the question, she fell silent again.

Clearly, she didn't want to break her promise to the Thunder Convoy.

"That's fine!"

Seeing that Wang Qian hadn't answered after a long while, Jiang He pretended to be impatient.

He flung Wang Qian's arm aside and headed for the door.

He knew this woman had to have a clue.

Naturally, he wouldn't easily give up on something that could benefit him!

Perhaps the Thunder Convoy held an opportunity for him to grow stronger again...

"You really are a complete and utter bastard!"

After glaring fiercely at the shameless man before her, Wang Qian took a map out of her jacket pocket.

Before she could hold it out, Jiang He snatched the map away.
