Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

It's too quiet. This town is eerily quiet...

Originally, I planned to wait until it was completely light before taking Xiao Xuan into the town to plunder it. But Xiao Xuan is not what he used to be. He is a level 2 Xuan Turtle, and his attributes are more than ten times that of me. With the addition of the Earth Control Technique, he won't suffer a big loss even if we encounter any danger.

But now, standing in front of this town, Lin Feng suddenly felt that being cautious wasn't a bad thing.

"Never mind, let's see how things go first."

Lin Feng decided not to go in yet, but to wait for the other awakened ones in the convoy to make their move. Anyway, he wasn't going to die alone; Wang Lie and the others were keeping an eye on things ahead, and he could just pick up the scraps from behind.

There's no need to show off.

"Let's eat first," Lin Feng said as he approached Xiao Xuan. It was lying on the ground, digging a shallow hole with its front paws, then lowering its head, opening its mouth, and crunching away at the dirt.

Lin Feng's eyelids twitched as he read it.

"You're really eating dirt?"

Xiao Xuan didn't even look up, continuing to gnaw, sending dirt flying everywhere, like an excavator.

Lin Feng recalled Xiao Xuan's ability "Eating Soil"—which allows him to obtain what he needs for survival and grow larger by consuming minerals and soil.

Fine, I'll eat dirt then. It's free anyway, might as well eat it.

Lin Feng didn't bother with it, so he wandered around the area and found a dead tree.

The tree trunk was as thick as a thigh. Lin Feng raised his leg, aimed at the base of the trunk, and kicked it.

"Click..."

The tree trunk snapped in two.

Lin Feng bent down, picked up the dead tree branch, and dragged it back. This weight was nothing to him, as if he were just playing around with it.

After dragging it back to the camp, Lin Feng placed the dead tree on the ground and chopped it up with his bare hands.

Click, click, click...

In no time at all, the entire tree was transformed into firewood of varying lengths.

People setting up tents nearby stared in disbelief at the sight.

"Holy crap, chopping wood with bare hands?"

"Is this what an Awakened One is? This is incredible..."

Lin Feng ignored the stares around him, found a bundle of dry grass, and took out the windproof lighter he had exchanged with the convoy yesterday. He pressed it twice, and the flames shot up, quickly igniting the dry branches.

Lin Feng ran to Xiao Xuan's back, found the mutated grasshopper that he hadn't finished eating yesterday, cleaned it, and put it directly on the fire to roast.

The charcoal fire licked the locusts' carapaces, sizzling and crackling, and the aroma quickly filled the air.

Lin Feng grilled while waiting.

Wait for the awakened members in the convoy to reach a conclusion and decide when to enter the town.

Anyway, he's not in a hurry.

…………

Meanwhile, at the front of the convoy, next to the lead luxury RV, Guo Yi held a report compiled by the logistics team, his brows furrowed like a twisted rope.

"The general situation of the fleet vehicles has been summarized."

He walked up to Wang Lie and handed him the report.

"Captain, our fleet currently has 1 RV, 7 buses (2 of which need major repairs, otherwise they won't be able to go very far), 2 public buses, 4 trucks, 3 pickup trucks, 11 cars... most of them need repairs..."

Wang Lie took the report and waited for Guo Yi to continue.

"The key is gasoline. If we use the existing gasoline reserves sparingly, they can last for a maximum of 5 days. After 5 days, more than half of the cars will be broken down."

"Moreover, at the current pace, we won't reach our original destination in five days."

Shen Yutong's voice came from the side. "The next supply point is 330 kilometers away. At the current speed, it will take at least six days, assuming there are no more problems on the road. We don't have much time left. The gray fog will catch up in five days at most."

Five days, only five days left. If we encounter another bizarre attack like last night on the road, delaying our journey, it won't just be a matter of running out of gas; the most crucial thing is the gray fog...

Wang Lie's face darkened.

"And another thing," Guo Yi continued, "besides our vehicles, there are too many private vehicles in the convoy. I can't possibly handle all the repairs by myself. I'm only level 1, and many of the damaged vehicles don't have spare parts, so it's very difficult for me to repair them. Moreover, if a vehicle needs major repairs, it can take up most of the day..."

He paused for a moment, then offered his suggestion.

"Captain, I suggest that we abandon the small cars that belong to our public vehicles, dismantle them for parts, and concentrate resources to modify trucks and buses. Then, we should pool the fuel to prioritize the operation of our core vehicles. We don't know how much longer we have to go, so every little bit saved counts. As for the private vehicles in the convoy, I really can't do anything about them, after all, I'm only a Level 1."

Upon hearing this, the people around him fell silent.

They all knew what this meant...

For ordinary people riding bicycles or driving cars to follow the convoy, if their vehicles break down or they can't keep up with the speed, it's no different from sending them to their deaths in this apocalyptic world.

Wang Lie was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Do it your way. You hurry up and modify the vehicles. Tell the logistics department what you need and have them prepare the corresponding supplies, and then..."

"Let them squeeze in..."

Guo Yi nodded: "No problem. If we focus on modifying the core vehicle, I'm confident I can improve its performance. It just requires using materials salvaged from the sedan for the modification..."

Just then, Fang Ling walked over from the side, looking somewhat tired.

"Captain, I've tallied the numbers. After last night's bizarre attack, the convoy now has 975 people remaining!"

Wang Lie's fingers twitched slightly.

From several thousand people initially, to less than a thousand now.

Every time we stop, every time we set off, someone is left behind on the road forever.

This is the end of the world.

"Where are the supplies?" Wang Lie asked.

Fang Ling shook her head: "Not much left. The convoy is almost entirely surviving on wild vegetables now. The wild vegetables we dug up, plus the rice and noodles left over from before, can only last for three more days at most."

"In other words, we must find enough supplies in this town, and we must also complete the vehicle modifications to increase our speed in order to continue moving forward..." Wang Lie's tone was calm, as if he were stating a fact.

"Yutong, can you sense the danger level of this town? Something seems off to me."

Shen Yutong raised her head, her beautiful eyes gazing in the direction of the town. Something seemed to be flowing in her pupils, like the light of stars.

"Level 2 danger."

"Level 2?" Liu Tiezhu's voice rose slightly. "Isn't that the same level as the captain and Sister Min?"

Shen Yutong ignored him and continued, "But... I feel very uneasy."

"The astrological feedback I received was level 2, but my intuition tells me that things are not that simple. There is something in the town... interfering with my perception."

Wang Lie turned to Chen Min.

"And you?"

Chen Min closed her eyes, and her mental energy, like an invisible net, extended towards the town.

A moment later, Chen Min opened her eyes and said.

"My mental perception tells me... it's very dangerous."

How dangerous is it?

"I can't explain it," Chen Min shook her head. "There's a layer of fog blocking the way in the center of the town, and my spirit can't get close, but it tells me directly, 'Don't go in.'"

The two awakened individuals in the team who possessed sensory abilities both reached the same conclusion.

Danger!

But the convoy needed resupply; they were running out of gas and food, and if they didn't find supplies in town, everyone would die on the road.

Wang Lie was silent for a few seconds before making a decision.

"Get ready, we'll head into town after breakfast. I'm going to talk to Lin Feng..."
