Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Su Ye's body froze on the spot, unable to even bend his fingers, only his eyeballs could still move with difficulty.

He could feel the surging, eerie power within his body, and the black and red tentacles thrashed wildly beneath his skin, trying to break free of the invisible shackles. But the power of the Word of Power carried a strange "absoluteness," which temporarily suppressed his instinct to resist!

Just then, Xu Jiang's figure appeared in front of the tent like a ghost.

The modified rifle in his hand was now covered with twisted and writhing blood-red energy patterns, pulsating like blood vessels, emanating the sinister aura of "blood flames"!

His face showed no hesitation, struggle, or guilt, only a blood-stained indifference and...greed?

He raised his gun, didn't even need to aim, and pulled the trigger at the tent where Su Ye was!

There was no deafening roar from the muzzle, only a low, muffled thud.

A beam of dark red energy, condensed to its extreme, shot out and instantly pierced through the tent canvas, accurately hitting the spot where Su Ye had just been lying!

boom--!!!

An incredibly violent burst of energy suddenly exploded within the confined space!

That wasn't a physical explosion, but pure energy annihilation and tearing apart!

The tent, along with the ground beneath it, was ripped off and torn to shreds!

The violent shockwave hurled Su Ye away like a rag doll, sending him crashing heavily onto the rocky ground more than ten meters away!

"Cough cough... Pfft!"

Su Ye curled up on the ground, coughing violently, large mouthfuls of blood gushing from his mouth, mixed with fragments of his internal organs.

His left hand was almost severed, connected only by a thin sliver of skin and flesh. His chest was also a bloody mess, with several broken ribs and severe internal organ damage. For an ordinary person, this blow would have been fatal.

But he did not immediately mobilize the strange source power to repair it. He raised his head and stared intently at the two people who were slowly approaching.

The bloodlust in Xu Xin's eyes flickered slightly.

Xu Jiang held the eerie rifle level, the muzzle once again subtly aimed at him.

Su Ye's voice was hoarse and broken, each word laced with blood and foam:

"Why...?"

He wanted to know the root cause of this seemingly baseless betrayal, and which parts of the story were true and which were false.

Xu Jiang and Xu Xin stopped in their tracks, their bloodshot eyes looking down at the heavily injured Su Ye on the ground, a cold and twisted smile curving their lips.

The sounds they emitted were strangely overlapping and distorted, as if they had two vocal cords, or as if a third party was speaking through their throats.

"Why? Hehe..."

"Why? Are you full?"

"Your blood...smells so good..."

"A million times sweeter than those useless things..."

"Are you full? We haven't eaten yet!"

"Now that you're full, it's our turn to eat!"

"I'll eat you up!!!"

Su Ye suppressed the urge to immediately launch a counterattack. His strength level was lower than his opponent's, so he had to wait for the best opportunity.

He pressed on, trying to confirm his worst-case scenario:

"What are you? Strange beings? Or... Zhou Lie?"

"Hahaha--!!!"

Both of them burst into sharp, twisted laughter, their eyes gleaming with a bloodshot light.

"Strange? Zhou Lie??"

Xu Jiang tilted his head, his movements stiff as a puppet.

"No, I am who I am—"

Xu Xin continued, a pure yet wicked pleasure on her face:

"Blood Flame!!!"

This confirmed Su Ye's worst guess.

Zhou Lie's "Blood Flame" sequence has mutated, even eroding the entire survivor group!

They are no longer fully human, but monsters dominated by the instinct of "blood flame"!

But what about Blood Flame? Where is its true form?

Without further ado, the two approached the fallen Su Ye step by step.

They took a deep breath, their faces showing a dazed expression.

"It smells so good..."

The taste of blood and qi!!!

A greedy snoring sound rolled from Xu Jiang's throat.

"yes……

By consuming this person, we can evolve again.

Xu Xin licked her lips, her gaze fixed on the blood gushing from Su Ye's wound.

"yes……

The team members' vital energy is too weak; they can't absorb even a little bit..."

Xu Jiang unconsciously muttered a key piece of information.

As soon as those words were spoken, it was as if some kind of command had been triggered.

From the once silent tents surrounding the camp came rustling sounds.

One by one, the survivors, pale and emaciated with empty and numb eyes, walked out like puppets on strings.

Their movements were no longer as natural as those of living people; instead, they became stiff, and faint blood vessels appeared in their eyes. They slowly surrounded him, blocking all possible escape routes for Su Ye.

The entire camp had long since become a lair for "Blood Flame"!

At the same time, in Su Ye's mind, that long-lost voice, seemingly from the abyss or the depths of his consciousness, resounded:

[...What...delicious is this?...]

"...Hmm!...This doesn't taste quite right..."

[...It smells a bit...but...slurp...it's actually quite tempting...]

Haha!! Delicious food delivered to my door... I love it!

At this moment, Xu Xin had already walked up to Su Ye's side.

The bloodshot light in her eyes was almost dripping, completely dominated by the most primal desire to devour.

She bent down, almost crawling on Su Ye, her voluptuous body pressed against him, rubbing against him, and sticking out her bright red tongue, passionately licking the blood gushing from the wound on his chest.

"ah……

So delicious!

Unparalleled deliciousness!!

She let out a satisfied sigh, her expression one of utter enjoyment, as if she were savoring a rare delicacy.

It's now!

Su Ye clearly felt that as Xu Xin licked her, she was completely immersed in pleasure!

It was in that very moment!

A fierce glint flashed in Su Ye's eyes!

The suppressed power erupted like a flash flood!

His right arm muscles suddenly bulged, and a dark red light surged violently beneath his skin, while the pale flame mark on his wrist burned intensely!

"Pfft—!"

In an instant, the five fingers of his right hand transformed and extended, turning into five gleaming black claws with pale, cold light flowing around their edges. With lightning speed, they pierced directly into the center of Xu Xin's chest as she was lying face down!

Xu Xin's expression of enjoyment froze instantly, turning into utter astonishment and bewilderment.

But something even more terrifying was yet to come!

The moment the claws pierced her body, countless fine, hair-like black and red tentacles with suckers or spikes at the tips of the claws, like deep-sea monsters that had smelled blood, frantically burrowed into her body through the wound, instantly spreading to her limbs, blood vessels, nerves, and even her energy core!

"Uh...ah..."

Xu Xin let out a short, sharp breath before her body suddenly stiffened and began to convulse violently.

The frenzied, blood-red light in her eyes flickered and shone erratically, like a faulty light bulb.

"Words of power..."

Su Ye watched as she prepared to unleash her sequence power. His left hand hadn't had time to recover, so he hardened his heart and opened his mouth to attack.
