Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!
Chapter 57 "One Drop of Blood?"
Li Xiaowei's face turned even paler, but she still insisted:
"That……
Is there any other way?
Even just a hint?
The woman in the mirror hesitated for a moment, seemingly weighing something, before finally saying:
"Fine."
For the sake of that person...
I can give you a vague direction.
You should search in the northwest direction; he is currently moving roughly north.
That way, you might have a chance to meet.
This is already the maximum.
Moving northward from the northwest!
Su Ye was indeed still alive, and he was moving!
A look of surprise flashed in Li Xiaowei's and Li Xiaoyue's eyes.
The woman in the mirror continued:
As for the cost...
Okay, let's do that.
Once you find him, I need you to obtain a drop of his blood and offer it to me.
A drop of blood?
Once this price is mentioned...
Of the five people inside the tent, aside from the Li Xiaowei sisters who were confused but felt a sense of relief,
Chen Shou, Lin Wei, and Old Zhao's brows furrowed instantly!
Too light!
It's abnormally light!
So light...it's eerie!
When has "Wenjing" ever made such a "loss-making deal"?
Given its solemnity and reaction after discovering the secret, was it really just a drop of blood?
What exactly is in this blood?
Or is this "drop of blood" merely a trigger, with a far more terrifying chain of consequences behind it?
The woman in the mirror seemed to see through their doubts, but she did not explain. Instead, a mysterious and almost eerie smile appeared on her beautiful face, and the image began to fade and blur rapidly.
In the final moment before the mirror was about to completely return to calm, in a dimension that only the world within the mirror could perceive,
The languid and seductive expression on the beautiful, alluring female phantom's face vanished, replaced by shock and disbelief.
She gazed into the void and murmured to herself in a barely audible voice:
"Oh my god..."
It's unbelievable...
Awakening... If I could obtain even just a single drop, it contains...
perhaps……"
The sound stopped abruptly, and the mirror returned to its usual coldness, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
The tent was completely silent.
Li Xiaowei and Li Xiaoyue didn't think that much about it. They only heard "after finding him," which meant that Su Ye was likely still alive and there was a chance to reunite!
As for a single drop of blood...
They subconsciously thought that if they could find Su Ye and explain the situation to him, getting a drop of blood shouldn't be too difficult.
Li Xiaowei and Li Xiaoyue looked at Chen Shou with hopeful eyes:
"Captain Chen, can we head northwest now?"
Go find Su Ye!
Chen Shou snapped out of his reverie, glanced at the now calm "Questioning Mirror," looked at the two hopeful sisters, and finally sensed his surroundings.
His expression remained calm, but complex thoughts churned deep within his eyes. He shook his head.
"Not for now."
My senses indicate that several strong auras are lurking in the northwest, especially along the paths leading further north, and the terrain is complex.
What we need now is to rest, replenish our supplies, and find a safer route.
A hasty change of course could lead to another dangerous situation.
Seeing the sisters' disappointed expressions, he traced a winding line on the surface with his finger:
"We need to detour eastward to avoid that dangerous area, and then look for an opportunity to turn northwest."
This takes time, and it also takes luck.
The light in the two sisters' eyes was rekindled.
At least we have a direction now, and Su Ye is still alive—that's hope!
"We'll listen to Captain Chen!"
Li Xiaowei pulled her younger sister along and nodded vigorously.
···
Like a black panther locking onto its prey, Su Ye sprinted towards the direction of the "human energy" flame fluctuations he sensed.
The straight-line distance may only be a few kilometers, but the wilderness terrain is complex, with ravines and dead trees blocking the way, forcing him to frequently take detours.
What's more troublesome is that the source of that "popularity" is not static, but is also slowly moving.
However, after numerous life-and-death battles and passive absorption and strengthening, his current physical strength is roughly equivalent to having completed more than seventy active strengthenings, and the "hundred times" advancement no longer seems out of reach.
Speed, strength, endurance, and recovery are all far superior to when they fall behind.
So the distance between them was rapidly decreasing. After running at full speed for nearly half an hour and climbing over a sparsely vegetated earthen slope, he finally saw the team slowly moving in the valley below.
It wasn't Chen Shou's convoy.
Although the number of vehicles had decreased sharply and the formation was scattered, Su Ye still recognized Wu Feng's convoy from the outline of the medium-sized bus with reinforced windows and the even more dilapidated but still huge double-decker tour bus!
The group that had recently traded grain, intelligence, and treacherous weapons with them on the riverbank.
However, the scene before them was even more tragic than before.
I remember a convoy of six cars and more than ten motorcycles; now only three vehicles remain.
An SUV led the way, a minibus followed in the middle, and a double-decker bus brought up the rear.
All the motorcycles are gone.
The number of people had visibly decreased, and the figures moving behind the bus windows were sparse.
What made Su Ye's eyes narrow slightly was that, through his perception and careful search, he found that of the five awakened individuals in Wu Feng's team, only two remained!
It was that woman named Xu Xin, and the mechanic Xu Jiang.
Captain Wu Feng, along with the violent-looking Zhou Lie and the honest Wang Kui, had all disappeared without a trace.
Were they separated, or... are they already dead?
Su Ye quickly made a decision in his mind.
Wu Feng's team has clearly suffered a major setback and its strength has been greatly diminished.
He did not immediately appear and shout.
In a post-apocalyptic world, approaching a convoy that has suffered severe damage and is still in shock could easily lead to misunderstandings and attacks.
Especially his current appearance...
Su Ye looked down at himself.
After several days of survival, fighting, and fleeing in the wilderness, his tracksuit was tattered and covered in dark red bloodstains, mud, and grass juice, which had hardened into clumps.
His face was probably covered in dirt.
More importantly, in order to survive and hunt in the wilderness, he deliberately maintained the strange source energy circulating on his body surface for a long time to cover up the blood energy and human energy of his body. Now the strange and cold aura surrounding his body is much stronger than usual, almost like wearing an invisible, strange "veil".
To humans, this appearance would probably be no different from those bizarre humanoid creatures.
He decided to follow and observe, waiting for a better opportunity to make contact.
Using the terrain and the gradually darkening sky, Su Ye hung like a ghost at a distance of several hundred meters behind the convoy, monitoring its movements with his enhanced vision and perception.
The convoy continued its arduous journey for another hour, until it was completely dark.
They seemed to have reached their limit, choosing to stop in a sheltered spot, using a few huge rocks and their remaining three vehicles to barely construct a makeshift camp.
A few weak campfires were lit, illuminating the numb and exhausted faces of the survivors.
Xu Xin and Xu Jiang clearly took on the responsibility of guarding and commanding, arranging for ordinary people to fetch water and distribute the little food left, but the entire camp was filled with an atmosphere of despair and depression.
Su Ye felt the time was about right.
