Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

However, the convoy ahead showed no sign of slowing down or turning back.

In fact, the speed even seems a little faster.

The cruel laws of the apocalypse were vividly displayed at this moment:

Stopping would not only fail to save lives, but would also drag the entire convoy into a dead end.

Chen Shou's icy voice came through the walkie-talkie and loudspeaker, drowning out the screams that followed, without wavering in the slightest:

Everyone!

Block out noise!

Focus on what's ahead!

accelerate!

Keep your distance!

Don't let it affect you!

Repeat, speed up, don't stop!

His order was like ice water, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope for the victims behind and forcing everyone in the vehicle ahead to harden their hearts.

Lin Wei's SUV followed closely behind the armored personnel carrier. She sat in the passenger seat, her cool gaze unwavering in the dim light inside the vehicle.

Old Zhao looked out the passenger window at the situation behind him, spat, and muttered something under his breath.

Su Ye heard screams and desperate cries for help coming from behind.

He is not a saint; his three months of experience in the apocalypse have already taught him how to survive in this world.

Hearing the desperate cries for help from his fellow human beings still stirred his heart.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his emotions, and refocused his gaze on the taillights of the car in front of him, steadily pressing the accelerator.

He cannot afford to make a mistake; any slight error could turn him into one of those desperate figures in the rear.

Outside the car window, the eerie creature with its single-eyed tentacle didn't seem to immediately pounce on the people lying on the ground behind them.

Instead, it watched the convoy depart with its several pale eyes, as if it were still somewhat unwilling.

Ultimately, perhaps finding the moving metal box in front less appealing than the delicious aroma wafting from behind, the wriggling vines and the one-eyed creature slowly retreated into the shadows of the forest.

Immediately afterwards, the shadows of the entire forest began to writhe violently, surging toward the terrified and helpless people and vehicles that had rolled and fallen to the ground with a sickening scraping sound.

The screams from behind turned into even more piercing and desperate wails within seconds, then quickly faded and disappeared, replaced by some chilling sucking or dragging sound.

The journey ahead remains fraught with danger.

Chen Shou's navigation voice sounded intermittently, guiding the convoy through the dark wilderness, as they dealt with the eerie and dangerous third and fourth wandering creatures.

The third strange thing was a bronze coffin, covered with dense chains, being dragged along by countless phantoms.

The good news is that the convoy kept a safe distance and avoided the other vehicles, but at the last moment...

A chain seemed to extend endlessly toward the rear of the convoy, stopping just before it was about to wrap around a motorcycle.

The convoy then made it past safely, thanks to their speed and Chen Shou's predicted route.

Only the eerie creature remained, its countless chains fluttering in all directions, as if it were angry, futilely angry, and finally continued its pursuit of the convoy.

The fourth one was a cyclops, which seemed to have no special abilities, only a gigantic size.

Rushing in from afar, it was easily bypassed and left behind by Chen Shou, who relied on his powerful perception.

The desperate escape in the darkness seemed endless. By the time they finally shook off these eerie sensations, nearly three hours had passed.

The tension and long hours of focused driving left everyone feeling deeply exhausted.

Finally, the lead modified armored personnel carrier slowed down, and its headlights illuminated a relatively open area ahead, which was an unfinished construction site in the wilderness.

Several buildings, with only their frames and exposed reinforced concrete, stood like huge skeletons in the darkness, with a fairly spacious concrete open space in front of them.

Chen Shouyong's slightly tired voice came through the loudspeaker:

"We'll rest here tonight for about twelve hours."

All vehicles formed a defensive circle with their front ends facing outwards.

Maintain basic vigilance and take the time to rest.

"Old Liu, tally the casualties and vehicle damage, and report back to me in half an hour."

As the order was given, the engines were shut off one by one, and the headlights were turned off, leaving only a few camping lights and flashlight beams flickering in the darkness.

Su Ye parked the bread truck in a relatively sheltered corner on the side of the unfinished building and turned off the engine.

He didn't get out of the car immediately, but sat quietly in the driver's seat, listening to the occasional suppressed sobs and heavy sighs coming from outside, as well as the sound of people being counted in hushed tones.

"...Wang Laosan's car didn't follow, along with the five people in the car..."

"The motorcycle team... only thirteen left, and Boss Li is gone too..."

"I saw that Aunt Zhang and Xiao Zhao's car also crashed, and they haven't gotten up yet..."

Intermittent counting sounds could be heard outside, and soon the final results were gathered.

"Team Leader Chen, the initial count has been completed."

……

There were 94 people and 35 vehicles (including motorcycles) at the start.

There are currently 28 vehicles that are operational.

Number of people...

Sixty-three people.

Thirty-one people were lost, mainly from the woods behind...

After a moment of silence, Chen Shoucai uttered a single, emotionless word:

"Um."

Sixty-three people.

One nighttime breakout resulted in the loss of nearly a third of the personnel.

Behind the cold numbers are familiar faces who were just cooking together on the riverbank.

The atmosphere in the camp grew even more somber, and the remaining survivors began to move silently.

Some people carried tents out of the car and set them up on a relatively flat spot within the circle formed by the vehicles.

Many people choose to drive their cars as close as possible to the frame of the unfinished building, or even drive them directly into the empty ground floor, feeling that having walls is better than being completely exposed in the wild.

Several small campfires were lit, some with pots placed on top to boil water, and others to heat food.

The flickering firelight illuminated tired and shaken faces. Few people spoke; after all, with a third of the personnel lost, many were acquaintances they had known for a long time.

Su Ye then got out of the car and walked around the van, carefully checking its condition by the light of the moon and the distant campfire.

Although the car body has some scratches, they don't affect the vehicle much.

I squatted down and looked at the chassis and tires again. The places that Xu Jiang reinforced were all intact, and the tire wear was within an acceptable range.

Not bad!

This car, after its initial modifications by the mechanic, is still quite durable!

As I sat down in the carriage and was drinking water, Old Liu came over with Chen Shou's instructions.

Chen Shou and Old Zhao were in charge of the first half of the night, while Lin Wei and he were in charge of the second half.

In addition, Lao Liu also arranged for some relatively calm people to assist in patrols to prevent accidents.

After Su Ye agreed, he continued tidying up his bed and rearranging the somewhat messy carriage.

Especially those cardboard mats he laid out; after smoothing them out, he would lie down on them, use his backpack as a pillow, close his eyes, and recharge.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the campsite, inside an off-road vehicle, sisters Li Xiaowei and Li Xiaoyue were unable to fall asleep.
