Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Do you usually want to exchange gasoline with Chen Shou?

The price starts at least at twenty catties of grain, and there are often no goods available even when there is a price.

Now you only need to pay one pound of grain to use the oil extraction tool, it's like a windfall!

Although you still have to manually pump the oil, the cost is completely acceptable compared to the high exchange rate and the despair of possibly running out of oil at any time.

Immediately, several car owners began quietly calculating how much grain they could still provide.

Some people also planned to get some supplies first before going to the gas station.

Chen Shou didn't say anything more and waved his hand to signal the start of the operation.

The crowd immediately sprang into action, with some nimbly jumping into the car and the engine roaring again.

Some hesitated, ultimately choosing to remain at the relatively safe entrance to the village, gripping their weapons and peering around nervously.

Old Zhao cracked his neck, making a soft snap, then grinned at Su Ye, revealing a set of yellow teeth:

"Night Boy, shall we go?"

Let's go and meet that thing.

Be careful, don't let something unexpected happen.

Although his tone was relaxed, his eyes already revealed the sharpness of someone about to go on a hunt.

Su Ye nodded, took a deep breath, and tossed his backpack into the bed of Old Zhao's pickup truck.

The strange power within his body flowed quietly, bringing a chilling and icy aura.

"Understood, Elder Zhao."

Following the general direction Chen Shou had indicated, the two silently made their way through the dilapidated houses toward the center of the village.

The area along the way was even more desolate than Qinghe Town, with many houses having their doors and windows wide open.

There were unexplained cracks or stains on the walls, and the air was filled with dust and a faint smell of decay.

Soon, a relatively open plaza, paved with cement, came into view.

Scattered along the edge of the square are some rusted fitness equipment and a tilted bulletin board.

The scene in the center of the square stunned Su Ye and Old Zhao, who had been secretly hiding behind a low wall.

That was indeed a strange thing.

But it was unlike any of the strange things Su Ye had ever seen before.

It is roughly an irregular sphere, about three meters in diameter, with a dark, honeycomb-like surface.

It is covered with dense, uneven holes of varying depths, and its material resembles both wood and stone, with a luster reminiscent of some kind of biological keratin.

Four short, thick limbs extend from the sphere, barely supporting its massive body.

What's most chilling is that right above this sphere, a bizarrely large, yellowish-black eye, about the size of a washbasin, is spinning around.

At this moment, this eerie, honeycomb-shaped creature, which Chen Shou had judged to be at the "peak of the first tier," possessed a terrifying appearance.

It was using its four short, thick limbs, in an extremely stiff yet strangely regular rhythm,

Stretch, bend, swing...

It looked like they were doing some kind of exercise.

"this……

This is……"

Old Zhao's mouth dropped open, and he lowered his voice, his tone filled with absurdity.

"Radio gymnastics?"

Section 1, stretching exercises?

Su Ye's eye twitched as well.

Indeed, those bizarre movements, though stiff and distorted, vaguely resembled the exercises performed by primary and secondary school students during recess before the apocalypse.

A terrifying beehive exuding an ominous aura is doing its own calisthenics alone in the deathly silent village square.

The scene is incredibly bizarre.

The two looked at each other and saw the shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

How do we deal with this thing?

"Don't move yet,"

Old Zhao, being experienced, immediately pressed Su Ye down.

"Let's see how it goes."

This eerie beehive...

There's definitely something else inside.

Sure enough, after the eerie beehive completed its final movement, its enormous yellow eyeball blinked and stopped moving.

Immediately afterwards, a faint but teeth-grinding whirring sound of wings emanated from its body.

The next second, countless dark figures swarmed out from those densely packed holes!

Those were fist-sized monsters, resembling wasps but even more ferocious!

They are entirely black, with a metallic sheen on their carapace, a dark blue spiky tail, and a deep buzzing sound as their wings vibrate.

Their sheer number instantly created a swirling, chilling cloud of insects above the hive.

These strange bees, after flying out, did not immediately attack or fly away.

Instead, they began to fly up and down around the central honeycomb body, their wing vibrations sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, forming a strange yet synchronized "dance".

"They are..."

Dance?"

Su Ye felt that her understanding of the world had been challenged once again.

"Who cares if they're dancing or in a meeting!"

Old Zhao's expression turned serious as he stared intently at the strange cloud of bees.

"The key question is, what will they do next?"

The answer was quickly revealed.

The eerie "dance of the bees" lasted for about five minutes, after which the strange swarm of bees seemed to receive some kind of instruction.

They began to differentiate; a small group continued to circle the hive, while the majority began to disperse in all directions.

It was obvious that they were about to leave the square and fly to every corner of the village!

"Oh no!"

Old Zhao let out a low growl.

"We can't let these ghostly things scatter!"

"If they fly into houses searching for supplies, or crash into people carrying them, they're all doomed!"

Once these fist-sized, incredibly numerous, eerie bees dispersed into the village's buildings...

For ordinary people who are scattered in the search and lack effective protection, this is undoubtedly a devastating disaster.

Chen Shou's plan will completely fail, and the entire convoy may be dragged into a desperate situation.

There's no other choice!

superior!"

A fierce glint flashed in Old Zhao's eyes, and the berserker aura belonging to the Berserker sequence began to rise. His body gradually grew taller, and his muscles began to swell.

"I'll go hold up that weird beehive!"

Night Boy, go and attract those strange bees. Try to stop as many of them as you can from scattering!

Remember, our mission is to buy as much time as possible, giving the convoy enough time to search for supplies. Don't engage in a direct confrontation.

Before he finished speaking, Old Zhao had already shot out from behind the low wall like a cannonball, heading straight for the huge honeycomb body in the center of the square!

At the same time, a wild battle cry resounded throughout the square:

"Hey!

Ugly monster!

"Take this punch!!"

As Old Zhao charged forward, several strange bees that were nearby spotted him and immediately rushed over, hissing.

Old Zhao didn't even look, his iron fists, wreathed in crimson, violent energy, lashed out left and right.

"Bang bang bang!"

With a few muffled thuds, the strange bees shattered instantly, like ceramic pots struck by a heavy hammer.

It transformed into several swirling wisps of black smoke, which then quickly dissipated into the air, leaving no trace.

Old Zhao didn't stop for a moment, his eyes fixed on the strange beehive, and continued running towards it.

However, because he was staring at the strange beehive, he discovered that after he killed these strange bees...

On the eerie, beehive-like body in the square, a faint light flashed from several of the holes.

Several identical, eerie bees struggled to emerge, flapped their wings a few times, and then hissed as they rejoined the swarm!

"Um?"

Old Zhao was deeply shaken.

With his vast combat experience, he instantly grasped the key point.

These eerie bees are not individual entities, but rather formed by the hive's own energy!

Simply killing these strange bees only consumes a small amount of the hive's energy, which it can reassemble at any time!

Unless the main hive is destroyed directly, or the energy of these child units is completely annihilated, it will be futile!

As he continued charging towards the hive, he turned and roared in Su Ye's direction:

"Night Boy!"

Look carefully!

These eerie bees are unkillable!

Even if you break them, they'll crawl out of that ghostly lair!

Don't even think about killing them!

Try to attract them and hold them back!

If you really can't hold them off, crippling them is an option.

"I'll hold this big guy off and buy the convoy some time!"

The roar made Su Ye, who was about to rush out, shudder.

Unkillable?

However, he wanted to give it a try, since his alien sequence could absorb the strange power from these strange beings.

He suddenly leaped out of his hiding place and headed towards the eerie bees.
