Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Seeing Su Ye rushing towards him, Xu Jiang grinned maliciously, his voice laced with mockery:

"You little rascal, got you!"

Before he finished speaking, a thick, dark red blood flame suddenly erupted from his body!

The flames seemed incredibly hot, yet they also exuded a chilling cold that penetrated to the bone!

At the same time, his free left hand moved with lightning speed, neither dodging nor avoiding, and firmly grasped Su Ye's right wrist as he thrust it out!

"Sizzle—!"

The blood flames, as if alive, instantly spread upwards along Su Ye's wrist, frantically eroding his skin and muscles, and even attempting to penetrate his bones!

A strong feeling of numbness and weakness came from the point of contact. The strength in Su Ye's right arm was rapidly draining away, and even the claw shape began to become unstable!

An even more fatal blow followed!

Xu Jiang's right hand, wielding a blood-red rifle that seemed to be an extension of his arm, slashed upwards at an angle that defied the limits of his joints!

A gleaming alloy blade suddenly popped out from the butt of the gun, and with the terrifying power amplified by the blood flames, it slashed fiercely at Su Ye's right shoulder joint, where he was being held!

"Snap—Pfft!"

The sickening sounds of bones cracking and flesh tearing apart rang out almost simultaneously!

Su Ye's entire right arm was severed at the shoulder by this premeditated attack!

Blood gushed from the severed arm, but the wound quickly turned black and withered after being engulfed by the blood flames.

"Ugh—!"

The pain of losing his arm far surpassed any previous injury. Su Ye let out a muffled groan as his body was thrown backward by the immense force, crashing heavily into a pile of rocks more than ten meters away, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Damn it..."

Su Ye's face turned deathly pale, and his forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat.

He gritted his teeth and suppressed the excruciating pain. The [alien] sequence within his body was operating wildly, and black and red tentacles surged out from the severed shoulder, intertwining and writhing, attempting to stop the bleeding and rebuild the limb connection.

But this takes time, and even more so, a huge amount of energy!

At this moment, the strange power within his body, after being consumed in the previous battle and repaired by this severe injury, has fallen below two thousand points and is still rapidly declining!

The gap in strength is starkly obvious.

A mechanic at the peak of the second tier, possessing a natal weapon and enhanced by a strange power, is far beyond what he can currently confront head-on.

Xu Jiang did not immediately give chase. He flicked away non-existent blood from his gun blade, and stared at the writhing, black-red tentacles repairing Su Ye's severed shoulder. His eyes gleamed with even greater bloodlust, filled with the cruelty and greed of a cat toying with a mouse.

"Not bad recovery ability..."

It's a pity, let's see how many more times you can recover!

He raised his rifle, locking the muzzle on Su Ye once more, and energy began to gather.

We can't just sit here and wait to die!

Su Ye's gaze swept quickly across the group of survivors whose eyes were bloodshot.

These "people"...

They can no longer be called human beings; they are domesticated "food," and the only usable "resource" at this moment!

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and just as Xu Jiang pulled the trigger, Su Ye suddenly rolled to the side!

"boom!"

The original location was blown open into a deep crater.

Su Ye continued rolling without stopping. Several black and red intertwined tentacles suddenly shot out from his left hand, piercing into the body of the nearest female survivor with a withered face, dragging her along with Su Ye!

And the devouring ability activates simultaneously!

The expected abundance of qi and blood did not arrive; instead, a faint trace of qi and blood was received.

These survivors had already been repeatedly "replenished" by Xu Jiang and Xu Xin, and were deeply eroded by the Blood Flame, leaving them with very little blood and energy.

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat!

Su Ye was like a thirsty desert traveler, able to quench his thirst even with a drop of water, which he forcefully absorbed!

A faint trace of blood energy surged into his body, and after being transformed by the [Alien Body] sequence, it barely maintained the minimum consumption required for the repair of his severed arm, and slightly curbed the downward trend of the strange power.

"You still dare to steal food?!"

Enraged at the sight, Xu Jiang felt as if his property had been violated. He flashed his gun repeatedly, and streaks of blood-red light chased after Su Ye's figure.

Su Ye dared not linger, dragging his half-repaired body, he awkwardly weaved, rolled, and made sudden stops and changes of direction among the camp ruins and the stiff crowd.

He circled around Xujiang, using the terrain and the frozen survivors as cover.

After each close call, he would seize the opportunity to capture a survivor, pierce them with his tentacles, and frantically drain their dwindling life force.

One, two, three...

Time slipped away in the suffocating back-and-forth.

Inside the camp, the survivors, who had previously been just empty-eyed, fell one after another, turning into piles of ashes.

The strange power within Su Ye's body struggled to maintain itself between slow depletion and minute replenishment. Waves of excruciating pain from the broken right shoulder and the weakness brought on by blood loss washed over him. Newly formed granulation tissue struggled to wriggle beneath the withered and blackened wound, attempting to repair itself, but at a much slower pace than usual.

He tried to charge forward several times, but Xu Jiang was extremely vigilant. The rifle, which had been modified to the extreme by the mechanic sequence and enhanced by blood flames, was far too powerful.

It can be used for precise long-range shooting, and can also be used as a shotgun at close range.

Su Ye's attempts were repeatedly thwarted by the ferocious firepower, leaving him with new wounds.

Xu Jiang, although still holding an absolute advantage, no longer possessed the initial ferocity and sharpness of his aura.

The continuous high-intensity shooting and use of blood flames were clearly a burden for him as well.

When the last survivor was drained dry by Su Ye, the entire camp was silent except for the howling wind and the two men's heavy breathing.

Su Ye was covered in blood, his breathing was heavy and disordered, and his newly grown right arm hung down pale and powerless, looking like he was at the end of his rope.

Xu Jiang stood a dozen meters away, the blood-red rifle in his hand still pointed at him, but the light from the muzzle seemed to have dimmed slightly.

His bloodshot eyes stared at Su Ye, and as he looked at the other man's swaying figure, a cruel smile of confidence slowly spread across his狰狞 face.

"What, you're not running anymore?"

No more 'snacks' to steal?

Xu Jiang's voice was mocking as he slowly approached, his footsteps ringing out clearly in the deathly silent camp.

He didn't rush to fire, seemingly wanting to savor the moment of his prey's utter despair a little longer.

Su Ye staggered backward, seemingly moving unconsciously, but in reality, she cleverly led Xu Jiang to a certain position.

That spot was where his severed, charred right arm lay quietly amidst the rubble and ashes.

As Xu Jiang moved forward, the severed arm appeared to his side behind him.

"you……

What kind of monster is it?

Su Ye spoke breathlessly, her voice hoarse and weak, deliberately conveying a sense of powerlessness and confusion. Her gaze was fixed on Xu Jiang's face, as if trying to find the answer in that distorted expression, but in reality, she was trying to attract all of Xu Jiang's attention.

Xu Jiang was indeed amused by the "weakling's" question. He stopped and looked down at Su Ye, a morbid smugness gleaming in his bloodshot eyes:

"monster?

No, I am evolution!

It's a new life that transcends you trash!

He spread his arms, making a slightly exaggerated display gesture, and the blood flames on his body rose and fell accordingly, but the light was no longer as intense as it had been at the beginning.

The continuous fighting and energy output had left him feeling exhausted, and his vigilance inevitably relaxed slightly under the overwhelming sense of superiority.

In particular, Su Ye's current state posed no threat to him.

It was that one moment of relaxation!
