Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

"Received... Received."

Li Xiaowei's voice was weak, with a forced sob and trembling.

However, her hands gripping the steering wheel unleashed the opposite force, her knuckles turning pale, her eyes fixed on the swaying taillights of Old Zhao's pickup truck ahead, not daring to deviate even slightly.

Obeying orders and staying close to the convoy is the only thing the sisters can do now, and it's the only way out that Su Ye has secured for them by falling behind.

The channel fell silent again, with only the roar of engines and the howling of the wind.

Inside the van, Li Xiaoyue, who was in the back, was already in tears.

She covered her mouth tightly with her hand, her teeth digging deep into the flesh of the back of her hand, using the pain to fight against the desperate cries that were about to burst her throat.

Her fear was even greater than her sister's. Along the way, through the car window, she witnessed too many vehicles that had unexpectedly fallen behind. From those vehicles, heart-wrenching cries for help first rang out, then quickly faded into deathly silence...

Each image was like a cold carving knife, leaving an indelible mark of fear in her mind.

She didn't even dare to think about what would have happened if they hadn't mustered that last bit of courage last night and knocked on Su Ye's car window...

So today, among those silhouettes that silently disappear into the darkness behind, are she and her sister destined to be among them?

No, it's not "whether or not", it's "definitely"!

Women like them, who lack awareness and have average physical strength, are the most vulnerable link in this high-intensity, desperate sprint.

But now?

The person they had just attached themselves to, the one they considered their new pillar, had fallen behind in order to save the vehicle, and to protect them and the supplies inside! He was left behind in that all-consuming darkness!

"What to do... what to do..."

An endless panic, like a cold tide, washed over her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Li Xiaowei's face was also as pale as paper, but the emotions in her eyes were much more complex than those in her sister's.

She also heard Old Zhao's angry curses, but what lingered in her heart at this moment was a completely different, chilling fear and calculation.

Abandon the vehicle? Run a few steps and get into the pickup truck?

Li Xiaowei silently repeated Old Zhao's words in her mind, a bleak smile appearing on her lips.

"Old Zhao makes it sound so easy..."

But in that situation, the vehicle was already tilted to that extent. If Su Ye hadn't fought back with all his might, the car would have flipped over instantly!

Yueyue and I were in the car. In that high-speed rollover and impact, even if we didn't die, we would be seriously injured and unconscious!

"Yes, just as Old Zhao said, Su Ye jumped out of the car with ease, and with his skills, he could easily catch up with the speeding pickup truck."

But then what?

Was he able to pull us out before the vehicle completely overturned?

With two burdens dragging along, can he still maintain that speed and catch up with the group before the strange creature arrives?

The answer was cruelly clear in her mind: absolutely impossible!

So the result is just one cold, hard fact: the car was destroyed and people died.

Su Ye survived by riding in Zhao Lao's pickup truck alone, while she and her sister became two forgotten skeletons in this wilderness, perhaps not even leaving behind any skeletons.

Having figured this out, she felt an indescribable, complex feeling towards Su Ye's lightning-fast choice!

Will he... really catch up?

Looking at the pitch-black road in the rearview mirror, which seemed to swallow everything, Li Xiaowei felt completely uncertain.

Reason told her that her chances of survival were slim.

After all, what are the chances of survival if you're alone in such a dangerous and eerie place?

She dared not calculate it in detail.

However, Su Ye's final, calm yet firm "I will catch up" was like a faint spark flickering in her cold heart, weak yet stubbornly refusing to be extinguished.

The convoy continued on its way in a suffocating silence.

If an awakened individual is abandoned so readily for accidentally falling behind, what chance do ordinary people like them have?

If something goes wrong, the outcome will be even more swift and decisive: the convoy will abandon them without mercy, turning them into bait to delay their elusive pursuit.

The shadow of death has never felt so close to anyone!

Sitting in the modified armored personnel carrier, Chen Shou's face was calm and composed, but his perception was at its limit.

He couldn't sense Su Ye's life force, but he could clearly sense the eerie aura emanating from the pursuing convoy.

Just as the convoy had managed to navigate two more bends and slightly increase the distance between them, Chen Shou's brow twitched almost imperceptibly.

In his perception, one of the seven "tails" stopped without warning!

This is unusual enough in itself.

These strange creatures, drawn by "popularity," will never easily stop their pursuit once they lock onto a target, unless they lose their senses or encounter unavoidable circumstances.

But what made Chen Shoutong's pupils shrink even more was the change that followed:

The eerie presence that had been lingering did not restart or change direction; instead, it became extremely unstable in his perception!

It began to fluctuate and flicker violently, like a light bulb with poor contact. Its presence was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and each time it "darkened" for a longer period of time, its presence itself was rapidly diminishing and fading!

This is neither a natural dissipation nor a self-concealing act!

This was not the first time Chen Shou had seen such a way of disappearing. It was clearly a unique sign that the strange source power had been scattered and the strange core was in the process of collapse!

"Disappeared? Killed?"

The thought flashed through Chen Shou's mind in an instant.

At that position and at that point in time, the only one with the ability and possibility to do this was Su Ye, who had just fallen behind and whose fate was uncertain!

He made no sound, and his expression didn't even change, only a deep thought flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Is Su Ye still alive, and capable of single-handedly dealing with a monster that is pursuing him?

This far exceeded his wildest prediction that Su Ye would "survive".

What does this mean?

Did Su Ye conceal his strength before?

Or was it his unique and dangerous sequence ability that unleashed unimaginable power in dire circumstances?

Or perhaps...?

Whatever the answer may be, for the team, this is good news that cannot be verified or considered at the moment.

Chen Shou slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, suppressing that slight fluctuation in his heart.

He did not tell the team about the discovery via walkie-talkie, nor did he show any unusual behavior.

He refocused all his attention on planning the convoy's escape route, issuing the next evasive instructions over the walkie-talkie in a calm and normal tone, as if the bizarre disappearance of the interlude behind him had never happened.

Escaping is the only priority at this moment.

As for whether Su Ye can really "catch up" and when he can catch up, that depends on his own ability and luck.

···

Su Ye raced at full speed through the mountains and fields. The physical enhancement brought by the [Alien Body] sequence made his long-distance running ability far exceed that of the past.

Every step was firm and powerful, every breath long and deep, as if a tireless engine was running through my body.

However, as time went by and the distance increased, a serious problem gradually emerged.

He lost all sense of the convoy!
