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

There was a moment of silence inside.

The group exchanged glances, then their gazes finally settled on Dongyu.

Dong Yu lowered her head, her face was pale, and her body was wrapped in bandages, from which blood was seeping.

She looked up at Wang Lie, who nodded slightly, before she spoke.

"The repair shop, we saw a bridal sedan chair inside that repair shop."

"A bridal sedan chair?"

"Yes," Dongyu nodded, as if responding to a scene that sent chills down her spine.

"A bright red bridal sedan chair, the kind used for weddings in ancient times, embroidered with phoenixes and auspicious clouds, with exquisite workmanship, was parked in the innermost hall of the repair shop. There was nothing around it, it was clean and tidy, completely different from the scrap metal in the workshop outside."

"I immediately felt that this thing was unusual, so I called the captain and the others to come and take a look." Dong Yu's voice was visibly trembling as she said this.

"Out of curiosity, we went to investigate... and found that the energy fluctuations emanating from that bridal sedan chair were extremely strong, stronger than any other object we had ever seen. We wondered if we could move it back to study the abilities of the strange creature..."

"Then……"

"Then I lifted the sedan curtain..."

Dong Yu's voice began to tremble, and her body shuddered...

"I only saw a splash of red wedding dress, and then gray mist poured out of the bridal sedan chair, not just a little bit, but like a flood..."

"Then the vengeful spirits hiding in the houses came to life in the gray fog, followed by an eruption of terrifying vengeful spirits from the ground..."

She didn't continue.

The air inside the carriage was so heavy it felt like it had solidified.

Lin Feng filtered through Dong Yu's words.

Should we bring it back for research?

Perhaps you were tempted by that strange artifact, an unknown treasure, which is why you brought out the strangeness. But this thought only lingered in your minds and you never voiced it.

Since things have already come to this, there's no point in pursuing it any further.

Lin Feng looked at Shen Yutong.

Shen Yutong sat on the other side of the small table, holding a hand-drawn map and a pen in her hand, drawing something on it. Her face was even paler than yesterday, with dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept all night and had exhausted a lot of energy. She was indispensable in ensuring the convoy's safe escape last night.

"Sister Yutong!" Lin Feng asked.

Chen Yuting was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head.

"I don't know. We've only been in this world for eight days, and there are many things we don't understand." She unconsciously tapped the paper with her pen.

"But I suspect the gray fog might originate from a... rule-level anomaly."

"Rule-level?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled.

"What level is that?"

Shen Yutong shook her head, her voice tinged with fear and unease.

"I don't know, all I know is... they're very strong, so strong that we can't face them."

The carriage was completely quiet.

After a while, Wang Lie picked up his teacup, took a sip, and as he put the cup down, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice to draw everyone's attention back.

"Let's not discuss this issue for now." Wang Lie's voice was calm and reassuring.

"With our current strength, there's no point in discussing this. What we can do now is not to figure out what the gray fog is, but to find a way to survive."

He straightened up and his gaze swept over everyone.

"Our problem now is that the team has suffered heavy losses."

He looked at Fang Ling: "Have you taken stock of the losses?"

Fang Ling opened the notebook in her hand, which was filled with densely packed numbers.

"The number of personnel has been halved. The Sky Team still has 957 people. Now..." She looked down at the numbers on the screen.

"Less than five hundred."

Nearly half of the 957 people disappeared overnight, leaving less than 500. Those who rode bicycles and those whose vehicles couldn't keep up with the convoy were swallowed up by the gray fog.

"What about the supplies?" Wang Lie asked again.

"Even worse! Most of the supplies we found in the town were left at the camp. We're still counting them, and before we could load them onto the trucks, the gray fog came. The food reserves in the convoy, even if we eat sparingly, will only last for two more days at most."

Two days?

If no new supplies can be found, the people in the convoy will become so hungry in two days that they will rebel.

However, when people are hungry, they are capable of anything. Even if awakened individuals use force to suppress them, it will be useless, and the convoy will continue to suffer casualties.

"Yutong, how far are we from that gas station?"

Shen Yutong closed her eyes, her fingers slowly sliding across the map, as if sensing something. After about ten seconds, she opened her eyes.

"After driving at full speed last night, we are now about 200 kilometers away from the gas station."

"Two hundred kilometers!" Wang Lie repeated the number, his brows furrowed.

"But the gray fog will catch up in about sixteen hours."

"Hiss!!!" It felt as if a layer of air had been sucked out of the car.

Everyone present knew that unless the vehicles went at full speed, they might not be able to outrun the gray fog.

"Sixteen hours..." Wang Lie murmured the number repeatedly, then took a deep breath.

"Let's replenish our water supply first. There's a river here, so let's go fetch some water. We'll set off in an hour."

"Guo Yi!"

"I'm here, Captain."

"Try to modify our vehicles, especially the engines of the buses and trucks, because we're going to accelerate..."

"Yes, Captain."

"Fang Ling, go and inform the logistics department to organize people to fetch water."

Guo Yi and Fang Ling quickly got out of the car to organize their team and get the mission done as soon as possible.

"There's one more thing," Wang Lie said, looking at Chen Min. "The patrol team was almost completely wiped out yesterday. Apart from the dozen or so people who stayed in the camp, everyone else is gone. Go and ask if anyone is willing to join the patrol team."

Chen Min nodded and got out of the car.

Dong Yu silently stood up and got off the bus. Jiang Sheng, seeing that there was nothing for him to do, went back to his own bus to cultivate potatoes.

Only Wang Lie and Lin Feng remained in the car, while Shen Yutong, as always, studied the map, serving as a backdrop.

Wang Lie picked up his teacup, finished the last sip of tea, and looked at Lin Feng.

"Would you like to stay and discuss the next steps together?"

Lin Feng shook his head.

"No, you can decide. I'll just go with you. Let me know if you need any help."

After saying that, Lin Feng stood up and walked towards the car door, stopping when he reached it.

"Regarding Liu Tiezhu's case, I respect him as a man of principle, but I don't admire people like him..."

Wang Lie watched Lin Feng's disappearing figure and remained silent for a long time.

He understood what Lin Feng meant: this was the end of the world...

"Attention all members, attention all members, the convoy will only stay for one hour. After one hour, the convoy will depart. Repeat..."
