Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

The convoy was a large group consisting of dozens of people and dozens of vehicles, although it was unknown how it appeared to other awakened individuals.

However, in Su Ye's perception, these people gathered together formed a flame. The more people there were, the more concentrated they were, the bigger and brighter the flame became, and the more obvious his perception became.

If his perception is understood by Chen Shou, then it is a strange perception, because his perception perfectly matches Chen Shou's setting of the strange capture of the convoy's popularity.

Now, perhaps because of the great distance, or perhaps because of the many dead, he could no longer sense the flames gathering around the convoy; he had lost sight of his target.

After all, he wasn't truly supernatural; his perception of the convoy, which was already several kilometers away and still moving at high speed, completely failed.

"These are the only ones we can rely on..."

Su Ye's gaze turned serious as he focused his attention on the eerie aura that could still be detected.

These strange black iron filings, seemingly attracted by an invisible magnet, converge and chase each other from all directions, near and far, in roughly the same direction.

That direction was undoubtedly the route the convoy took to escape.

Following the mainstream direction of these "chaseers" is tantamount to following the tail of a caravan.

This became Su Ye's only "navigation" at this moment.

He can only adjust his route based on the flow of eerie energy he senses, much like an experienced hunter who judges the direction his prey will flee by observing the movements of a wolf pack.

Two hours passed in a tedious and tense run.

Su Ye crossed rugged mountains, waded through icy streams, and passed through desolate forests.

During this time, he sensed no fewer than dozens of strange creatures "passing by" within his range, each with different shapes and varying strengths.

Most ignored him, this fast-moving target radiating an aura of "kindred spirits." A few showed curiosity or vigilance, but Su Ye quickly accelerated or changed course to leave them behind.

He didn't actively provoke any of them; his priority was to regroup, not to hunt.

But as time went by and they continued to move forward, Su Ye keenly noticed the changes in the environment.

First, the number of bizarre creatures being chased has decreased significantly.

Initially, one could sense multiple strange objects moving in the same direction from different distances, like streams flowing into a river.

But gradually, the number of "streams" decreased, and the "size" of the "rivers" also weakened.

This further confirms that we have now entered a strange, low-density area.

The situation became particularly clear in the last ten minutes.

At the edge of his perception, only one last clear, eerie aura remained, still moving in a certain direction.

Besides, the vast area seemed to fall into an eerie "silence".

This "silence" is not truly empty.

Su Ye knew that there must be many strange things in the wilderness, but most of them were in a state of "hibernation" or "wandering".

His current perception range is greatly compressed in response to the strangeness of these states; he may only be able to detect their calm fluctuations within a few hundred meters, or even closer.

Only those eerie creatures activated by "popularity" and in a state of "chasing" or "hunting" will have an aura that is as active and intense as a blown-up will-o'-the-wisp, allowing him to sense them from several kilometers away.

Now, apart from the last "ghost fire" in front of him, all the eerie auras that had been lit within his perception range have been extinguished and returned to a calm, detached state, becoming undetectable.

"It seems we're really close to the edge; the convoy has completely shaken off the main force."

Su Ye made a judgment in his mind and kept walking.

As he followed the last eerie general direction through a sparse forest of dead trees, an unnatural, man-made outline at the edge of his vision caught his attention.

That's a car!

It overturned and crashed into several dead trees. The car body was covered with scratches and dents, and all the windows were shattered.

The familiar paint scheme and model number belong to the 4.2-meter van in the convoy that was transporting supplies for three people!

Su Ye's eyes narrowed, and he instantly accelerated and rushed forward.

The area around the van was a mess, with large patches of blood in the driver's cab. The door was twisted and open, and the van was empty except for congealed blood and broken plastic parts.

Clearly, the driver failed to escape, or was taken away by the strange creature that caught up with him.

Su Ye didn't feel much about the driver's fate; it was just a normal occurrence in the apocalypse.

He went around to the relatively intact rear of the carriage and tried it, but the rear door was stuck because it was deformed.

Su Ye's eyes turned slightly cold, and the five fingers of his right hand were slightly spread.

bass!

The jet-black claws shot out instantly.

Without hesitation, he swung his claws at the hinges and locks of the carriage door.

"Sizzle—!"

A sickening metallic tearing sound rang out as the reinforced locks and hinges were as fragile as paper before the "Blade Claw," violently destroyed in just a few moments.

He gripped the crack in the door with both hands, his strength surging and his muscles bulging.

"Creak—!"

He forcefully ripped open the deformed carriage door, creating a gap large enough for a person to enter.

The interior of the carriage was a mess. The neatly stacked supply boxes were overturned and many were broken, with rice, noodles, canned goods, bottled water and other items spilled everywhere.

Su Ye's eyes lit up when she saw these, and at the same time, her intense thirst and hunger were amplified infinitely.

He immediately rushed in, first grabbing a bottle of mineral water that had rolled into the corner, unscrewing the cap, tilting his head back and gulping down the whole bottle. The icy liquid soothed his burning throat and parched body, making him sigh with relief.

Immediately afterwards, he rummaged through the scattered supplies and found energy bars and chocolates. He tore open the packaging and wolfed them down, quickly replenishing his drastically depleted energy.

"Damn it... I almost died of thirst and hunger."

He mumbled something indistinctly while chewing on his high-calorie food.

He wasn't truly bizarre; he couldn't fully extract all the energy to sustain life from devouring, and his basic physiological needs remained.

After quickly replenishing his fluids and some energy, reason regained its advantage.

He couldn't stay any longer; he had to continue the chase.

His eyes scanned the carriage and he quickly found a reasonably sturdy backpack.

He first stuffed in a few bottles of mineral water, then grabbed a handful of chocolates, energy bars, two or three packs of compressed biscuits, and also took a bag of salt and a few individually packaged pieces of braised beef—all high-energy and durable items.

Slinging his backpack over his shoulder, Su Ye took one last look at the abandoned van and the devastation around it.

"It seems the convoy hasn't had an easy time either; they've even lost their supply trucks..."

Without further ado, he turned around, tightened the backpack straps, and propelled himself towards the last eerie aura.

After an unknown amount of time, that last eerie aura was extinguished without warning.

It wasn't the kind of violent collapse that comes with being killed; it was more like the target it was chasing had completely escaped its perception range, or it had finally given up.

The lively "ghost fire" suddenly dimmed, quickly subsided into a normal, drifting state, and disappeared without a trace from Su Ye's perception.

For the first time, Su Ye truly stopped walking.

He stood still, looking around.

The dark wilderness stretched endlessly, the sound of the wind the only noise.

In my perception, there was a "clean" stillness.

The strange activity, lacking any direction, completely lost the "human touch" of the convoy, not even the slightest fluctuation.

air.

An unprecedented, heart-pounding emptiness instantly gripped his heart.
