After finishing the last bit of food in their hands, the two carefully cleaned up the scene to make sure no traces were left.

All around was silent, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind. Using the faint moonlight, they made their way in the dark towards their intended direction.

In the distance, the outline of a small town came into view, with faint lights flickering in the darkness. The town was home to about a thousand people, most of whom were probably already fast asleep.

"Be careful," Logan said in a low voice, glancing around warily.

"Those guys might be setting up an ambush in town."

He paused, then added.

"After all, that town is the only supply point within a few hundred kilometers."

Based on his years of experience, Logan quickly made a judgment. The laboratory where they were previously trapped was located in a sparsely populated and remote area of ​​the United States.

This location was chosen for two reasons: first, to ensure secrecy, and second, to ensure that even if a mutant managed to escape, it would be difficult for them to completely conceal their whereabouts and obtain supplies in a short period of time.

"Don't worry, I've recovered somewhat in the last couple of days."

Ye Feng responded softly, his voice carrying a hint of weariness but firmness.

"With our capabilities, they won't discover us."

As he spoke, Ye Feng had already subtly manipulated the surrounding natural elements.

The faint light in the air rippled gently, and an invisible energy slowly enveloped the two of them.

It was an invisibility cloak woven from pure elements, which not only could not be detected visually, but even the body's heat source was completely concealed.

"We don't have much time. We need to replenish our supplies and money and leave here as soon as possible."

Ye Feng maintained his abilities while speaking in a low voice.

"Although I released quite a few mutants when I escaped the lab, it didn't buy me much time."

He looked at Logan, his tone grave.

"You must know who controls these kinds of laboratories, right? The power and technology they possess pose a huge threat to us right now."

In fact, Ye Feng would never have taken this risk if it weren't for wanting to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.

This place is still thousands of kilometers away from the Vatican.

Without transportation and enough money, it might take two people several months to reach the destination on foot.

Ye Feng didn't want to waste his time here. A few months was more than enough time for him to do many more important things.

"I know."

Logan nodded, his expression serious. He fully understood what Ye Feng meant.

Under Ye Feng's elemental cover, the two moved silently into the town, like shadows blending into the night.

With their figures, heat sources, and sounds completely concealed, they did not disturb anyone, not even a single dog bark.

The town was immersed in the tranquility of the night, most of the windows were dark, and only a few streetlights cast a dim yellow glow.

Logan's beast-like intuition keenly detected the anomaly.

The town was clearly meticulously planned, with weapons and surveillance equipment positioned in some hidden corners and high points, and a barely perceptible tension permeated the air.

"Indeed, my idea was correct."

Logan spoke to Ye Feng in an almost inaudible voice.

"This small town was both a supply point and a trap they set up."

"Let's go, don't waste time."

Ye Feng's face appeared even paler under the moonlight.

"My body can't hold on for much longer."

The distance from the forest to the town wasn't very far, only a few kilometers, but using his abilities continuously was a huge burden for Ye Feng.

They quietly arrived at the supermarket entrance in the town center. Ye Feng concentrated his mind and extended his abilities to the entire house, forming an energy barrier that isolated signals and sounds.

Logan seized the opportunity to act swiftly and skillfully gather the necessary supplies.

Compressed dry food and high-energy chocolate are the best choices, as they are small in size and provide a quick and sufficient energy boost.

Meanwhile, he also found several thousand dollars in cash at the supermarket checkout counter and quickly stuffed it into his backpack.

"Walk!"

Just a minute or two later, Logan emerged from the supermarket, his backpack stuffed full.

He also had a car key in his hand, which he had taken from a hook on the side of the supermarket.

"Will it work?" Logan shook the key in his hand and looked at Ye Feng.

"It's possible. If the map is correct, we can hold out until we reach that city."

"I'll have to replace this car once my abilities wear off."

He understood Logan's intentions; the car was only a temporary solution.

"Okay!" Logan said without hesitation, and the two quickly walked toward an old pickup truck parked next to the supermarket.

Ye Feng mobilized his energy again, enveloping the entire car within it. As a result, the car seemed to evaporate and disappear into the air.

He opened the door, started the engine, and it ran almost silently... Under Logan's skillful control, the car sped out of town like a ghost, without alerting any of the lurking enemies.

Even the armed personnel deployed in the town were completely unaware.

Ye Feng's ability to control elements played a crucial role in his escape from the laboratory.

It can not only distort light and insulate heat, but also briefly interfere with electronic signals, forming an all-around stealth barrier.

The accelerator was floored, and the car's engine roared low on the empty road, quickly increasing the speed to its limit.

The United States' road system was truly remarkable for its time, especially the suburban highways, which were sparsely populated and free from traffic jams, providing ideal conditions for their escape.

"There are still about two hundred kilometers to go to our next destination."

Logan used the dim light from the dial to examine the map, which clearly marked their current location and the route ahead.

"This car's fuel supply might not last until then."

"Run as far as you can."

Ye Feng leaned back in his seat, his eyes closed, his face ashen.

"I need to recover."

He took out a bright green glass bead from his pocket. It was a crystallization of life energy that he had extracted and compressed little by little from the plants and trees in the surrounding nature using his own abilities.

Ye Feng put in a lot of effort to make it, hoping that it would save his life when he was exhausted.

As the life energy entered his abdomen, a warm current gradually spread, and Ye Feng's complexion regained its rosy hue at a visible speed.

Although the restored energy was not much, it was enough to ensure that his abilities would not be temporarily disabled.

They drove in silence. Logan gripped the steering wheel intently, his eyes sharply fixed on the road ahead, while Ye Feng closed his eyes to rest and recover as much strength as possible.

After driving approximately 300 kilometers, the pickup truck eventually came to a slow stop in the middle of the road due to running out of fuel.

How far are we from our destination?

The moment the vehicle stopped, Ye Feng opened his eyes, his voice still weak but clear.

"Less than twenty kilometers."

Logan checked the map again in the dim light of dawn.

"At my speed, carrying you on my back, we should get there quickly. It's not fully light yet, so we shouldn't have been spotted."

"Let's go," Ye Feng replied briefly, leaning against Logan's strong back.

Logan carried Ye Feng on his back and started running, speeding towards the distant city.
