Survival in Sequences: Eighteen Years Old, Slaying Monsters Like Horses

"Abandoned town..." Xu Si thought to himself as he looked at the blurry markings on the map.

"Since it's a town, there must be a gas station. The most likely location is at the town gate. As for where it is, we'll have to find it ourselves! If we can't find a gas station, our convoy will be paralyzed!" Fu Xiaojian continued.

Although they obtained some fuel from the Magical Circus, it certainly wasn't enough for the entire convoy.

With the addition of this fish, they were temporarily not short of food, but fuel was a consumable, and they could not ignore it.

Xu Si also wanted to take the opportunity to upgrade the "Land Rover Narrow Victory". He couldn't tolerate the fact that the Land Rover Narrow Victory had such a large fuel tank but no corresponding power.

Always following behind others, he would be the first to be chased if a convoy was being pursued.

"I'm fine. The power of Sequence 2 is almost fully consolidated!"

"Agreed!" Su Su nodded silently, her eyes sharp. She needed to fight enough to advance to Sequence 2. Although she had sparred with Ta Shan, she didn't have that feeling of being on the brink of death, and her progress was not obvious.

Xu Si naturally had no objections, as he was a major consumer of strange stimuli.

He's almost poked all the fish in the river.

Around noon, the convoy was ready to depart.

Everyone's face showed reluctance. The two days of rest gave them a chance to catch their breath and rekindled their hope.

Each person's vehicle had rows of dried fish hanging on both sides. The dried fish, which were not yet fully dried, could only be preserved for a longer period of time in this way.

The convoy was filled with a lingering fishy smell, which reminded Xu Si of some of the few words his high school teachers still remembered.

Living with bad people is like entering a fish market; after a while, you stop smelling the stench and become like them.

Xu Si now felt like he was a fish, a salted fish that had been marinated.

All the salt the team used was used to preserve these salted fish.

Xu Si's curtains were also gone, all cut into strips and used to string fish.

The convoy moved slowly, with Fu Xiaojian's Warrior leading the way, cautiously exploring the road ahead.

While driving, Xu Si was distracted by operating the "Star Anchor," continuously absorbing the energy of the Blood Sun to solidify his Sequence 2 realm.

At the same time, the "Star Trail" feature was also passively activated by him, allowing him to sense the energy flow in the surrounding environment. He wanted to treat it as an instinct, and by activating the Star Trail at all times, he would essentially have the ability to sense danger.

He's forcing himself to get used to this feeling; he doesn't want to be unfamiliar with it during a fight, or he could really die.

After driving for about two hours, the river began to widen, and traces of man-made dikes appeared on both banks.

This is not a traditional water storage dam, but a dam that has been built to allow passage.

"It seems we'll have to go along the embankment if we want to cross the river," Fu Xiaojian said.

Although bridges may exist upstream or downstream, that represents more unknown and dangerous areas.

The convoy did not stop and continued driving forward.

Some dilapidated low-rise buildings began to appear sporadically in the field of vision.

"Attention, we may be approaching the target area." Fu Xiaojian's voice came through the walkie-talkie, tinged with vigilance.

"The area ahead appears to be the outskirts of a town. Maintain formation and increase alert." The closer they got to the town, the slower the convoy moved.

Xu Sixing's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed into the distance.

Amidst a somber gray hue, the outline of a dense cluster of mostly dilapidated buildings gradually comes into focus.

Judging from its appearance, it should be an ancient town with some history.

"What is this?" Fu Xiaojian's Mengshi suddenly stopped.

Xu Si and the others also got out of the car to check. They saw patches of grayish-white stains on the road in front of them, some as small as three meters in diameter.

"Wax?" Fu Xiaojian picked up a piece with his knife and smelled it.

"It really is!" Xu Si also pried off a large piece, which was the wax traditionally used to burn candles.

"These are footprints, right?" Xiao Luo suddenly pointed to one of the solidified wax clumps.

One of the pits, about two meters in diameter, was visible and really did look like a footprint.

"What... could have such a large footprint?" Tashan asked in a deep voice, a hint of seriousness appearing on his rock-like face.

Fu Xiaojian stood up, his sharp gaze sweeping over the increasingly dense traces of wax in front of him, which resembled a strange path winding its way into the depths of the town.

"Whatever it is, this thing is definitely not small, and... it can melt parts of itself into wax, so it's bound to be difficult to deal with."

"Wax..." Xu Si muttered to himself, his starry eyes flashing with blood-red light as he tried to catch the residual energy fluctuations in the air.

However, apart from the pervasive, slightly fishy smell of wax, he did not sense any obvious eerie energy, which set off alarm bells in his mind.

Either the strange object is still far away, or it is extremely adept at concealing itself.

"Brother Fu, why don't we take a detour?" Xiao Luo suggested.

If a giant creature like the one from last time were to appear, they might really be doomed.

"The convoy is out of gas! Even if we take a detour, we won't be able to go much further!" Fu Xiaojian had replaced all the fuel for the circus a few days ago, and there wasn't much left.

The expressions of the others grew increasingly solemn! Only Su Su was filled with a strong fighting spirit; she craved a battle and longed to break through to Sequence 2.

"Everyone get on the bus, maintain the highest alert! Xiao Luo, keep the psionic barrier up!" Fu Xiaojian made a decisive decision.

"We'll go in this road, aiming to find a gas station and try to avoid this thing. But if we can't avoid it..."

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood what he meant.

The convoy started again, this time at a slower pace, the low growl of the engines sounding particularly jarring on the desolate edge of the town.

The buildings on both sides were mostly low, with peeling exterior walls and broken windows. In some places, dried, blackened bloodstains and signs of struggle could be seen, but surprisingly, there were not many human or animal remains.

The traces of wax were becoming more and more numerous and dense, and in some places they even covered the road, forming patches of grayish-white "wax pools".

When the Mengshi vehicle rolls over these wax pools, the tires make a sticky, teeth-grinding sound. Xu Si's "Land Rover Narrowly Wins" even slips a bit when driving on these waxes, occasionally sliding off.

He has already offended the back of the bus in front of us several times.

The closer to the town, the thicker the wax layer becomes; some buildings are completely enveloped in wax, resembling exquisite works of art.

"There seems to be a gas station ahead!" Fu Xiaojian's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

Xu Si activated his Star Eyes and looked ahead, finally understanding why Fu Xiaojian had used a skeptical tone.

Because the gas station was completely covered in wax, not only the building was covered with a thick layer, but even the gas station equipment and vehicles entering and leaving were completely wrapped.

Several vehicles that wanted to drive into the gas station were frozen in place at the entrance.

"Move back!" The order to move back was given immediately after the convoy had a clear view of the whole situation.

This was clearly an ambush.

Damn it, Jack was definitely up to no good.
