Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

[Consuming 100 points of Mystic Power, performing the tenth physical enhancement.]

As the final intensified chill permeated his limbs and bones, Su Ye slowly opened his eyes.

A flash of crimson light appeared deep within his pupils.

He looked down at his hands.

The skin had a subtle, understated sheen, and the veins on the back of the hand seemed to be more clearly defined and stronger.

With a gentle squeeze, the muscle lines on his arm instantly bulged under his sportswear, as if the air was being squeezed into his palm with a subtle popping sound.

He moved his shoulders, neck, and spine slightly, producing a series of pleasant, soft "clicking" sounds, as if rusty gears were being lubricated and recalibrated.

The most obvious changes come from the senses.

The noise from the campsite outside the vehicle, which was originally a mixed hum, now seemed to be broken up.

He could clearly distinguish the anxious shouts of someone in the distance, the friction of tires rolling over gravel nearby, and even the subtle splashing sound of the flowing river.

[Strange Power: 885]

There are still over 800 points left.

Nine consecutive enhancements yield completely different results.

It's completely different from the feeling of "slight improvement" after the previous enhancement.

He can now clearly feel the surging, powerful energy within his body.

If it was a stream before, it is now at least a rushing river.

Muscles, bones, nerve responses, sensory acuity...

All-round improvement.

He was even confident that if he faced the strange swarm of bees again, he could recover without relying on devouring them.

With his current physical strength, speed, and recovery rate, he can maneuver more easily, take fewer injuries, and achieve higher kill efficiency.

This is the power of the uncanny; becoming stronger is so simple and direct.

···

On the other side, about thirty kilometers away from the riverbank camp on an abandoned road,

A mixed convoy of six cars and a dozen motorcycles was speeding along the bumpy, uneven road, kicking up clouds of dust.

Leading the way were four off-road vehicles that had been modified to varying degrees. Their bodies were covered in scratches and stains, but they were still incredibly rugged, and the roar of their engines was full of power.

In the middle was a medium-sized minibus with windows reinforced with iron bars, followed by a large double-decker tour bus.

The vehicle was heavy, and one could clearly see through the windows that it was packed with people.

A dozen or so motorcycles weaved in and out of the convoy, the riders crouching low, their expressions tense.

Inside the convoy, the atmosphere was tense and oppressive as people communicated via walkie-talkie.

"Boss!"

What route did you take this time?

How did those two things behind us manage to bite our tails?

An angry male voice came from the third SUV; he seemed to have a bad temper.

"that is!

Old Wu, has your ability to guide others declined?

Wasn't this the safest road?

Why am I being chased by such a strange creature?!

A woman's voice came from inside the second SUV.

In the passenger seat of the lead SUV, a middle-aged man named Wu Feng, with a calm expression, had his brows furrowed.

He is the captain of the team and an awakened member of the "Pathfinder Sequence". His abilities tend to be more focused on perceiving environmental dangers and relatively safe paths, but this is not absolute.

He pressed the call button, his voice steady yet tinged with a hint of helplessness:

"Shut up, all of you!"

This path is currently the optimal choice!

Other directions are either strange and densely populated areas, or the terrain is simply impossible for buses to pass through!

The edge of those two eerie sensing ranges was right on the road, and because there were so many people in our convoy, they were only able to detect us at the edge!

"So what do we do now?"

Can you shake them off?

From inside the fourth SUV, a deep, muffled voice asked.

"able!"

Wu Feng was resolute.

"They're not particularly fast; they can create enough distance in half an hour at most."

Step out of the threshold of eerie perception and make them lose their clear goal!

and……"

He paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and continued:

"Moreover, in my perception, about thirty kilometers ahead..."

Sensing a relatively concentrated group of life-giving signs, it appears to be an organized group of survivors.

Several individuals reacted strongly, likely exhibiting the aura of awakened beings.

However, one of the auras seemed rather strange. I wonder what it was? Could it be a Ghost-Controlling Sequence Awakener?

There was a moment of silence on the walkie-talkie after these words were spoken, which was then broken by different voices.

Are there other racing teams?

Very good!"

Inside the minibus, a slightly naive voice rang out, sounding somewhat urgent. As an awakened individual with enhanced physical abilities, he was the one who got hungry the fastest.

"Captain Wu, we have to make contact with him!"

The last bit of food in the warehouse was gone yesterday, and now the whole team is surviving on snacks and canned food.

Especially for ordinary people on the bus, if they can't find a stable source of food, starvation will soon occur!

"right!

Contact, deal!

The female awakened one immediately echoed this.

"We use fuel, tools, or..."

We'll trade the information we discover for their food!

Didn't we receive some information about accelerating our advancement?

This item should be a valuable commodity for any awakened team!

"I agree."

That muffled, deep voice also came through.

"It's better than forcing your way into a supply depot that's lurking in the dark."

The losses this time have already been severe enough.

The irritable Awakened One snorted, still dissatisfied, but did not object:

"Then hurry up and shake off those two things behind you!"

However, Captain Wu, while contact is possible, one should always be wary of others.

The opponent's strength and attitude are unknown; we must be prepared for both possibilities.

As Wu Feng listened to his teammates' words, especially when they mentioned that ordinary people on the bus were about to run out of food, his heart sank.

His team's survival model is more like that of a tiny collective struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.

With four of their five awakened individuals forming the core of the combat sequence, each search for supplies would be accompanied by a "supply team" composed of relatively strong ordinary people, responsible for transporting the supplies.

Other ordinary people take on "logistical" work such as setting up camp, cooking, cleaning, and caring for the elderly and infirm.

As long as the assigned tasks are completed, basic rations to sustain life will be distributed according to the level of contribution.

This model helped them unite their people and survive in the early stages of the chaos.

But I've been having really bad luck lately; I've missed two supply points in a row.

One that had already been completely looted

Another reason is that his battle with the supernatural attracted all the supernatural beings in the town.

Although several teammates escaped, the "supply team" responsible for transporting the supplies was almost completely wiped out.

Even when fleeing the town and evacuating, ordinary people who had no vehicles and could only walk or cycle...

They were also hunted down one by one during the bizarre and sudden pursuit.

This directly led to a sharp reduction in the fleet's workforce and low morale.

With reserves only being released and not received, the situation has reached a dangerous point.

"I see."

Wu Feng responded in a deep voice.

"Speed ​​up and get rid of these two weirdos as soon as possible."

Then, we went to that riverside camp to try to make contact.

Remember, we are going to seek trade and replenish our survival supplies, especially food.

Maintain a calm attitude, but raise the alert level to the highest level.

Zhou Lie and Xu Xin, when you make contact, pay close attention to the energy response and attitude of the awakened person.

Wang Kui is ready to respond to any situation at any time.

Xu Jiang inspected the vehicle to ensure it could be evacuated at any time.

"receive!"

"clear!"

Several responses came through the walkie-talkie.

Wu Feng took a deep breath and pressed the accelerator harder.

The off-road vehicle roared forward as its engine roared.
