As the convoy traveled until evening, Lin Feng brought Shen Yutong dinner. Inside the watchtower, Shen Yutong gazed into the distance, as night was about to fall.

"The fog has stopped!"

Lin Feng placed the rice and several plates of exquisite dishes on the table, then turned to look at her: "What did you say?"

"Gray fog." Shen Yutong's gaze remained fixed on the distance, her tone calm. "It stopped in the previous city and didn't follow!"

Lin Feng recalled the overwhelming gray fog and the terrifying zombie girl floating in the sea of ​​fire in the sky.

"Really?"

Shen Yutong picked up her rice bowl from the table and glanced at Lin Feng: "My abilities include astrology. Although I didn't see it directly, the gray fog hasn't moved for two days."

Lin Feng looked at her. "You mean, we're safe now?"

"That's perfect." Lin Feng patted the tower railing. "Let's travel through the night and go straight to that open-pit iron mine you mentioned. I don't know if the gray fog will stop, but we have to get our hands on the ore as soon as possible. If we wait any longer, Xiao Xuan will be eating dirt again."

Shen Yutong nodded and continued eating.

Lin Feng did not send Jin Tong to investigate the current situation of the gray fog, nor did he even entertain the thought of doing so. He would never do anything dangerous.

Regardless of whether the gray fog has stopped or not, what is most urgently needed now is that mine. The longer Xiao Xuan mines, the more food he can store, and the more times he can grow. Once he grows up, there is nowhere in the world he can't go.

Lin Feng picked up the walkie-talkie, "Keep going, no rest tonight. We'll let everyone know when we reach our destination."

The people in the convoy didn't know what was happening, but they dared not question it and all perked up.

The convoy continued its journey into the night. The wilderness was gradually changing. Plants that were rarely seen before were now growing denser, and in some places, large patches of wild grass had even grown. Every now and then, something would dart out from the grass.

Golden Eyes locked onto its target from high above, then swooped down across the ground and returned to Xiao Xuan's back, with a small, struggling creature on its claws.

It was a gray mouse about the size of a tabby cat, and it was already motionless when Jin Tong put it on the ground.

A golden light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

[Mutant Gray Rat - Edible, meat contains trace amounts of psionic energy, each pound of meat can increase constitution by 1 point, effective for constitution below 20 points, maximum increase of 3 points, side effect - mild hallucinogenic effect]

"Keep going, catch as many as you can!"

With a low cry, the golden eyes took to the air once more.

As we continued onward, the road conditions became more complex. It wasn't just gray rats darting out of the bushes anymore; there were also some eerie figures emerging from the surrounding shrubs, only to quickly retreat before being illuminated by the car headlights.

Golden Eyes swooped down from the sky, unleashing a barrage of wind blades. The eerie figures attempting to attack the convoy vanished before they even appeared, while notifications of evolution points rang incessantly in his ears.

In the dead of night, a silhouette appeared ahead.

It was a massive mountain range lying across the land, its color a dull grayish-white in the moonlight.

At the foot of the mountain, Lin Feng saw some light.

As the convoy drew closer, the lights gradually grew larger in the field of vision, transforming from blurry to clearly visible outlines.

That was another team.

As Xiao Xuan's enormous figure drew closer, the commotion in the opposite convoy noticeably increased, with some people climbing onto the roofs of the vehicles with weapons, their stances tense.

The engine roared to life, the headlights blazed on, and the entire camp was on high alert.

People only relaxed a little when the vehicles appeared behind Xiao Xuan.

"It's not weird, it's a human convoy."

Only a few Awakened Ones remained vigilant, watching the approaching convoy with the utmost seriousness. In the apocalypse, humans can sometimes be more dangerous than the supernatural.

Lin Feng ignored them and let Xiao Xuan continue walking down the mountain, with the convoy moving forward alongside the other convoy.

The convoy opposite them had more vehicles than Lin Feng's convoy, with hundreds of cars parked almost filling the entire open space. What was puzzling was why they all looked so similar.

"Wow, so many cars!" Zhuoma appeared beside Lin Feng at some point and said, looking at the convoy not far away.

"Indeed, the strength of the awakened individuals in this convoy who are able to lead such a large convoy to survival should not be underestimated."

Xiao Xuan stopped at the foot of the mountain cliff. A golden light spread out, and Xiao Hei's protective domain unfolded again. The convoy parked in an orderly manner and set up camp within the protective domain.

Lin Feng could see the outline of the foot of the mountain through the light tube. The open-pit mine was much larger than he had imagined. However, just like the cities and buildings on Earth, the mine seemed to be inlaid in the ground without any sense of incongruity.

After Xiao Xuan stopped, it didn't even need Lin Feng to say anything. It didn't care how the mine came about; it only knew that its buffet had arrived.

With a flick of its forepaws, it easily sliced ​​off a large chunk of ore, chewed it up with a crunch, and swallowed it. This ore was far superior to the ruins of those residential buildings. In the blink of an eye, a large pit was dug out of the mine.

The rumbling sound carried far and wide.

The other convoy members gasped in surprise when they saw Xiao Xuan digging.

"What is that thing? It's incredibly strong. This is an iron ore mine, and it's been hollowed out in the blink of an eye. That claw must have taken tens of tons of metal with each strike..."

"This... they even eat minerals?"

"That must be an awakened being's tamed beast. Didn't you see that tortoise is carrying a house on its back? That's someone else's tamed beast. I just don't know how it grew so big?"

Xiao Xuan consumed almost a thousand tons of iron ore in one go and fell into a deep sleep again.

Meanwhile, the sound of an engine came from outside the protective zone. A modified SUV was driving towards them, its headlights flashing twice in the night as if to say hello. The car stopped at the edge of the protective zone, the door opened, and several people got out.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe. He stood at the edge of the headlight beam, his gaze first falling on the faint golden light barrier, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Such a strong power to ward off evil," the Taoist priest said. "Even a level 4 supernatural being wouldn't dare approach this level of protective energy."

The young woman following behind him looked in the direction the Taoist priest was looking and said, "Master Lin, this is probably even more effective than your talismans."

The Taoist priest didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the tortoise that had fallen into a deep sleep. He sensed a great threat emanating from this tortoise.

Lin Feng sensed the approach of the Awakened Ones and, along with Chen Min, dismounted from Xiao Xuan's back. Wang Lie and Fang Ling also arrived.

Lin Feng asked the group, "Are you also from here mining iron ore?"

The middle-aged man in the Taoist robe opposite him turned his gaze from Xiao Xuan to Lin Feng: "We've been here for several days. We're not the only ones mining in this mine; there are several other convoys stationed in the vicinity, some even arriving before us..."

He paused for a moment. "You're here for this mountain too?"
