Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

The convoy drove onto the bumpy road.

Although it's called a highway, it's already starting to show signs of damage.

Actually, foot traffic is very important; without the occasional passing of vehicles...

Weeds stubbornly grew out of the asphalt road surface, cracking it.

In addition, there are some collapsed or abandoned vehicle wreckage blocking the road.

This prevented the convoy from picking up speed, and most of the time it could only crawl slowly at a speed of twenty or thirty kilometers per hour.

Chen Shou's voice came through the walkie-talkie, with a slight static and a steady tone:

"Pay attention to road conditions and keep a safe distance."

The roadbed ahead has collapsed!

Let's go around it.

"Received, detour."

Lin Wei's cool voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Old Zhao, stay close, don't fall behind."

"Okay, Captain, I'm keeping an eye on it!"

Similar brief exchanges could be heard from time to time over the walkie-talkie, coordinating the convoy's progress.

Su Ye focused intently on the steering wheel, feeling how Xu Jiang's modified chassis and suspension filtered out the bumps.

It was indeed much smoother than when he tried to drive it before.

The improved engine is noticeably more responsive when a short burst of acceleration is needed to get out of trouble.

After driving for about half an hour, Chen Shou's voice came through the walkie-talkie again, this time with a more obvious seriousness:

"Attention everyone, be on high alert."

We previously gathered with Wu Feng's team on the riverbank; the crowd was immense, based on my observations...

The eerie creatures roaming within a fifty-kilometer radius were all subtly drawn in, slowly converging in that direction.

He paused, as if trying to grasp more specific information:

"We are currently traveling in a west-northwest direction, which is right between several strange moving tracks."

If we're lucky, we'll be able to get through.

There might be a 'little tail' hanging down.

But as long as we maintain our speed and don't stop, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we shouldn't encounter a direct confrontation.

However, everyone, stay alert; the night is long and the road ahead is far.

This news made the atmosphere in the team even more tense.

Although Chen Shou said there shouldn't be a direct battle, being followed and spied on by a strange entity in the dark was enough to make anyone's heart tremble.

Every unusual rustle of wind, every suspicious shadow in the distance, can make one's heart race.

Su Ye glanced at the darkness outside the window. Only a small area ahead, illuminated by the car headlights, was clear; beyond that lay an overwhelming gloom that seemed to swallow everything.

The convoy continued its journey for about twenty minutes in silence and amidst the bumps and jolts.

Aside from necessary road condition updates, the walkie-talkie remained silent.

Suddenly, Chen Shou's voice rang out again, more serious and urgent than ever before, with an unquestionable commanding tone:

"Attention everyone!

High-density area ahead!

Everyone, stay close to me and follow my instructions strictly!

We've entered the range of four eerie, roaming creatures. They've detected us and are rapidly approaching our convoy!

Even the static seemed to become jarring because of his words.

Listen up!

Chen Shou's voice was resolute.

"Don't panic, don't change direction without permission!"

Maintain a steady speed and stay close to the car in front!

Our speed is an advantage; as long as they don't intercept us head-on, they can't catch up with us!

Grip the steering wheel firmly, concentrate, and overcome any mental distractions!

The goal is to go around them!

The closest distance is estimated to be only two or three hundred meters!

He raised his voice, almost growling:

"Repeat it!"

Stay close to the convoy!

Maintain a steady speed!

If you fall behind, slow down, or are distracted and deviate from the route, you could be caught and entangled by any of the strange creatures...

There is no chance of survival!

Remember, it's four in a row!

There is no room for error!

"Lin Wei, stay close to me and watch out for the flanks!"

"Old Zhao, Su Ye, keep up, especially Su Ye, concentrate!"

"Those in the back, hold them fast! Anyone who falls behind, don't expect anyone to come back to rescue them!"

The orders were brutal; falling behind meant death.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

Su Ye's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously adjusted his posture, gripping the steering wheel more firmly with both hands and applying slight pressure with his fingertips.

Two or three hundred meters?

In the dark wilderness, facing the eerie presence that had already locked onto the convoy, this distance meant that if the vehicles deviated from their course, the eerie presence would pounce and intercept them within seconds.

He could feel his heart beating slightly faster, but his breathing became more steady and long.

His gaze was fixed on the wide rear of Chen Shou's armored personnel carrier and the rear of Old Zhao's pickup truck in front of him.

Under Chen Shou's guidance, the car's speed began to increase steadily, and the engine emitted a deep and powerful roar.

Chen Shou's voice was like the most accurate navigation:

"Turn right off the main road and into the wasteland on your right!"

The first one was charging towards us from our left front; we sped up and rushed past it from the flank!

The convoy turned right and drove into a dense thicket of withered grass, where the bumps and jolting intensified.

Su Ye followed closely behind the pickup truck, the raised chassis and reinforced suspension of the van providing the necessary support.

Just as he drove into the wasteland, he clearly saw through the left window that...

About four or five hundred meters away, a shadow resembling a bloated lump of flesh appeared.

It rolled out from behind a pile of rubble and was rapidly approaching the convoy!

"accelerate!

Never mind the bumps!

Charge!

Chen Shou snorted softly.

The convoy's speed increased again.

Su Ye stepped on the gas, and the van's engine responded quickly, closely following the car in front.

Although the "lump of flesh" rolled eerily fast, due to the speed and distance of the convoy,

The convoy narrowly missed it, at one point being less than 100 meters away!

Su Ye could even smell a rotten, sweet, and fishy odor carried by the wind.

Don't look back!

Keep going!

Chen Shou immediately stopped any possible distraction.

"Turn left ahead, go around that grove of low trees. The second one is already in the grove and it will come towards us through the grove!"

"Lin Wei, be careful, it might emerge from the flank!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the lead troop carrier suddenly swerved to the left.

Su Ye followed closely as the pickup truck turned.

Just as they veered off course and passed the edge of the woods,

The next second, a shadow appeared at the edge of the woods, and several things resembling black vines, each with a single eye at its tip, suddenly shot out.

Keep an eye on the passing convoy!

The main body of that thing was still in the woods, making a sickening grating sound as it moved.

The people in the convoy also noticed the vines, and some of them made eye contact with the one-eyed creature.

"ah--!"

"I can't see!"

"My head... my head hurts so much!"

Several short screams and chaotic shouts suddenly erupted from inside the convoy.

Then came the heart-stopping sounds of metal scraping, colliding, and flesh falling!

Su Ye looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the convoy was in the middle to rear section.

A car suddenly swayed from side to side, then its front veered off course.

It crashed into a large tree in the woods, grazing several other vehicles and motorcycles in the process, causing the headlights of the motorcycle convoy that was following closely to sway wildly.

In addition, at least seven or eight motorcycles were in the same state as the car, as if they were drunk and out of control, rolling and colliding on the wasteland with their riders, and instantly losing speed.

Chaos erupted within seconds!

Some who remained conscious, unaffected by the one-eyed man, struggled to their feet and screamed desperately at the taillights of the receding convoy:

"Help! Wait for us!"

"Help me! Don't leave me!"
