Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!
Chapter 43: The Surroundings Are Full of Strange Things
It depends on the specific circumstances.
Su Ye spoke frankly, since the materials for the magical artifact were not with him at the moment, and there was no way to test or manufacture it.
"I've never made one before; this is my first time. I'll have to try it to see how it goes!"
A brief silence fell inside the tent.
"We definitely have to try."
Chen Shou broke the silence, his brows slightly furrowed.
"But time is of the essence."
We have to leave immediately; the risks of staying any longer are too great.
He stood up, walked to the edge of the tent, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked out at the camp that was gradually becoming lively. His voice lowered:
"I just re-perceived my surroundings..."
The outlook is not optimistic.
There is no longer a truly 'safe zone' within my current perception range.
The gaps between the various supernatural events are no more than three to five kilometers wide at their widest point.
He turned around to face the three of them, his expression unusually grave:
"The only good news is that the team's 'popularity' has plummeted because we lost nearly a third of our people last night."
Therefore, the eerie creature needs to get closer to us to detect our presence, and the speed at which the eerie creature pursues us also changes when our popularity decreases.
Based on our current popularity, it would take a person five to ten kilometers to sneak into our convoy to be detected.
Old Zhao gasped in shock:
"Is it this dense?"
Does that mean we're going to be constantly chased by monsters from now on?
"That's one way to understand it."
Chen Shou nodded.
"So for the rest of the trip, most of the time will be spent on the road, constantly on the move."
Even when an opportunity to rest is found, the duration of a single stay...
I estimate it shouldn't take more than half an hour.
We must navigate through treacherous narrow passages, as if we were crossing a minefield.
The atmosphere suddenly became even heavier.
The long run ahead, coupled with only a possible half-hour rest in between, is like a drop in the ocean.
But this is the cruel law of the apocalypse: living space is compressed to the extreme, and the chance to catch one's breath is fleeting.
Lin Wei's cool face remained expressionless; she simply nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
Old Zhao sighed heavily and rubbed his face:
"Damn it, this kind of life..."
"Fine, it's better than being trapped like a dumpling."
Su Ye remained silent, processing this terrible news.
Being in a state of high tension and constant movement for extended periods is a tremendous test of physical strength, mental fortitude, and the availability of vehicles and supplies.
"That's settled then."
We can discuss the tortoise shell and copper bell issues once we find a relatively stable respite.
Now, let's check our vehicles and supplies first, and then we plan to depart in about an hour.
Regarding specific directions, please keep communication open and await my instructions at any time.
Chen Shou waved his hand, ending the brief meeting.
Upon receiving the order, Lin Wei and Old Zhao immediately got up and hurriedly left the tent.
Su Ye also stood up, secretly feeling fortunate.
Fortunately, he decisively accepted the Li Xiaowei sisters last night. Otherwise, with the upcoming tight schedule where he might not even have time to cook or tidy up, he would have no time to eat, drink, or go to the toilet.
Su Ye was the last to step out of the tent.
The voice of Chen Shou shouting from the loudspeaker on the modified armored personnel carrier came to my ears:
"Attention all personnel, depart in the scheduled convoy order one hour from now."
For the rest of the trip, most of the time will be spent on the road, constantly on the move.
Everyone, please be prepared to avoid falling behind!
Don't fall behind!
Don't fall behind!!!
The camp instantly filled with a sense of urgency; everyone was like a wound-up toy, moving quickly and silently.
He walked through the camp's vehicles to his bread truck.
Seeing him approaching from afar, Li Xiaowei and Li Xiaoyue immediately got out of the car and stood by the car to wait for him.
Su Ye walked straight up to them, his gaze sweeping over the two sisters' delicate faces before finally settling on Li Xiaowei's. He cut to the chase:
"You heard the announcement, right?"
We'll depart in an hour, and the rest of the journey will be completely different.
We spend most of our time on the road, and our rest stops are very short.
So, starting today, you two will take turns driving.
The specific rotation intervals are to be discussed and decided by you based on your physical condition, but you must ensure that the vehicles always move with the convoy and do not fall behind.
He pointed inside the carriage:
"Now, you have one hour to complete three things:"
First, check that the fuel tank is full and then check the tire pressure to ensure the vehicle is in good condition.
Second, the carriage space was redesigned, and a simple bed was installed.
Third, resecure all supplies to ensure they won't scatter during the bumpy ride.
His gaze swept over the two of them again:
"Is that clear?"
"Understood, Brother Ye!"
Li Xiaowei answered quickly and clearly; she was clearly in the zone, and she nudged her sister lightly with her elbow.
"Yes, I understand!"
Li Xiaoyue quickly responded, her voice more determined than before.
"Let's begin."
After Su Ye finished speaking, he did not get into the car immediately. Instead, he walked around the car to check if there were any abnormalities in the vehicle's structure after the fusion and modification last night, as well as the new hybrid system.
This was the foundation of his livelihood, and he had to confirm it personally.
Li Xiaowei had already nimbly climbed into the driver's seat and begun inspecting the instrument panel and operating mechanism.
Li Xiaoyue opened the back door of the carriage, looked at the neatly arranged supplies inside, and took a slight breath.
Then they carefully began to tidy up again, preparing to make room for the bed.
When Su Ye finished her inspection and returned to the car, Li Xiaoyue had already cleared out a large area and was laying out several thick cardboard sheets and some of their previous bedding. Although her movements were not very skilled, she was very serious.
Li Xiaowei poked her head out of the driver's seat:
"Brother Ye, the dashboard shows full fuel and battery, normal coolant temperature, and tire pressure..."
I'm not entirely sure, but it looks fine to me.
"Um."
Su Ye nodded, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.
He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, the engine was not running, and all around him were the sounds of preparations for departure coming from all over the camp.
A very subtle feeling.
His space now contains the presence and activity of others.
It is no longer absolute solitude and silence.
But this feeling... doesn't seem so bad.
Especially during the long journey ahead, having two more people to share the driving and miscellaneous tasks would make things much easier for him.
Su Ye opened her eyes.
