Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Finally, Xu Xin took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly:

"After we finished trading the grain with you that time, we found a safe area to rest for a whole day before continuing our journey to find the next possible supply point."

She spoke at a steady pace, as if reciting a carefully crafted speech.

"But... there was an accident on the way."

Her gaze was lowered, as if she didn't want to recall it or was avoiding something.

"You've met Zhou Lie before; his sequence is 'Blood Flame'."

That sequence…

He inherently possessed a strong bloodthirsty and violent tendency, constantly teetering on the edge of losing control of his abilities, and his emotions were extremely unstable.

Xu Jiang's interface:

That evening, the convoy stopped to prepare a meal.

A conflict arose between the cooks and Zhou Lie.

Xu Xin continued, saying that the two narrators' accounts flowed exceptionally smoothly, almost seamlessly:

"Team Leader Wu and we quickly went to persuade them."

For some reason, the man pulled out a weapon to defend himself. Zhou Lie was instantly enraged and punched the man, causing him to vomit blood and fall to the ground. It was just a little bit of blood…

Xu Xin closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to recall it.

"That little bit of blood was like a spark falling into an oil drum."

Zhou Lie's eyes instantly turned red, and when we called him, he couldn't hear us anymore.

He went berserk.

The first to suffer was Captain Wu, who was closest to him.

Team Leader Wu's "Guide" lineup has almost no direct combat capability...

We didn't even see what happened before Captain Wu... just collapsed.

Xu Jiang wiped his face hard, his voice hoarse:

"The third-tier Blood Flame Rampage is too fast and too fierce."

After Captain Wu fell, in an instant, none of the dozen or so people around him were spared.

The scene was chaotic.

"It's Wang Kui."

When Xu Xin mentioned this name, her tone carried a hint of complex emotion.

He is a Titan, with thick skin and incredible strength.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, he yelled for us to run, and then rushed up and grabbed the frenzied Zhou Lie from behind.

The two of them, one engulfed in blood flames and struggling wildly, the other gritting his teeth and using his body as a chain…

Xu Jiang closed his eyes, seemingly suppressing his emotions:

"We have no choice."

Staying behind means we'll all die together.

Xu Xin and I, along with a few others who reacted quickly, jumped into the car and slammed on the gas pedal to escape that area.

The last thing I saw in the rearview mirror was the flames engulfing Wang Kui's body...

Xu Jiang wiped his face again and said with a wry smile:

"Team Leader Wu is dead, and the 'Pathfinder' sequence is gone."

We were like headless flies, bumping around aimlessly in this wilderness.

Strange... those things are endless.

No matter which direction we drive, it won't be long before we're spotted and caught up.

We can only keep running away, and only occasionally can we catch our breath when we find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, like here now.

Food, fuel, ammunition... everything is scarce, and the population is dwindling.

The story is over.

The tent was deathly silent.

Su Ye listened in silence, his expression remaining largely unchanged.

In the apocalypse, it is not uncommon for teammates to die from infighting or loss of control.

The story itself is logically sound, and the details are consistent with his limited understanding of Zhou Lie, Wu Feng, and others.

However, things went too smoothly.

It flowed as smoothly as a carefully rehearsed story.

Moreover, the way the two narrated their stories, their almost perfectly synchronized emotional rhythms, the subtle shudder when mentioning bloodshed, and the hollow sorrow when mentioning sacrifice, all exuded an unnatural "uniformity".

More importantly, Su Ye's extremely sensitive intuition caught a faint, chilling resonance between the two when their emotions fluctuated, especially when blood and death were mentioned.

That didn't resemble the energy fluctuations that humans should have; it was more like some kind of...

Su Ye continued, following their lead:

"Indeed, without a guide, it's impossible to make any progress in such a place."

It's lucky that we were able to meet.

So what are your plans for the future?

Continuing to run away aimlessly like this isn't a solution.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xin and Xu Jiang's eyes flickered with an unusual light, as if the question touched upon a deeper sense of bewilderment or some unspeakable plan.

"...Let's take it one step at a time."

Xu Jiang finally spoke vaguely, his voice carrying a weary honesty.

"We'll live one day at a time. At least this place is relatively safe for now."

"yes,"

Xu Xin spoke up, her tone softening slightly, even carrying a hint of pleading.

"Su Ye, it's more dangerous for you to be out there alone."

Let's rest here tonight. It's better for everyone to squeeze in than for you to be alone in the wilderness.

Tomorrow... we'll discuss tomorrow's matters later.

Su Ye sneered inwardly and nodded:

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."

"I'm almost at my limit on my own."

"No trouble at all, we can look after each other."

Xu Xin stood up, called out to the outside of the tent, and instructed a pale and emaciated survivor to arrange accommodation for Su Ye.

Soon, Su Ye was led to a small tent at the edge of the camp.

The tent was old, but its location was quite "clever".

It was right within sight of Xu Jiang and Xu Xin's tent, with no obstructions.

This was less about arranging accommodations and more about keeping them under surveillance.

Su Ye thanked him calmly and went into the tent.

The camp provided a thin rice porridge for dinner, but he was given an extra piece of dry food, which he ate silently.

As night deepened, the campfires in the camp went out one by one, and the exhausted survivors huddled in their respective shelters, soon filled with uneven snoring and suppressed coughs.

Su Ye lay on the thin sleeping mat, her eyes wide open in the darkness, wide awake.

His senses were heightened to their peak, and the power of the sequence flowed slowly within his body, like a dormant volcano.

The whispers between Xu Jiang and Xu Xin in the tent had long since ceased, but he could sense two presences within, like taut bowstrings, ready to spring into action.

He was waiting.

They are also on guard.

Time passed slowly, and as midnight approached, the wind in the wilderness seemed to subside, and all was quiet.

Just as this silence reached a certain peak!

The curtain of the main tent was suddenly flung open!

Almost at the same instant, Su Ye's muscles tensed up suddenly!

However, his reaction was a fraction too slow, not because of physical speed, but because the opponent had launched a kind of restraint that was almost at the level of rules!

Xu Xin stood outside the tent, her originally cold eyes now completely filled with an intense, blood-red light that was so thick it was impossible to see the whites of her eyes or her pupils; only two eerie flames were burning inside!

Her lips moved silently, and an invisible yet immense power descended instantly, completely enveloping the tent where Su Ye was!

"Word of Power: Trapped!"

A cold, emotionless tone came from her mouth.

Inside the tent, Su Ye wanted to burst out the moment he sensed the disturbance, but a powerful force field, as strong as a ton of water pressure, squeezed in from all directions!

It was as if the concept of "being unable to move" was forcibly imprinted into his body's instinctive reaction zone!

The second-tier Word of Power sequence, amplified by some unknown force, unleashed power far exceeding its usual strength!
