Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

"Ten years ago," An Xin paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "the port of Beidu in Haicheng."

"A high school student who accidentally fell into the water."

Do you remember?

"Ten years ago?" Upon hearing this, Su Mu quickly rummaged through his memories and soon had some vague recollections. He seemed to have saved a girl who had fallen into the water during his internship when he was a sophomore in college.

But he left in a hurry after rescuing the girl, without paying any attention to what she looked like or even knowing her name.

"Do you remember now?" An Xin asked again.

"I remember now." Su Mu was a little embarrassed because he only had a vague impression. "That girl was you."

"It was me." An Xin nodded. "I've been looking for you ever since, and I even put an ad in the newspaper, but I haven't heard anything from you."

"It's nothing," Su Mu said with a smile. "Why have you been thinking about it for so long?"

"But for me, it was a life-saving grace," An Xin said earnestly. "I've always wanted to thank you in person."

"Thank you, really."

"You're too kind," Su Mu scratched his head. "You're making me a little embarrassed."

"Actually, at first," An Xin paused for a moment, then continued, "I didn't recognize you."

"But last night, when you were talking to Cheng Jun, I noticed your profile by chance and suddenly realized that you are the person I have been looking for all along."

I thought you would recognize me.

"I was in a real rush at the time," Su Mu explained. "I had to get to my internship, so I didn't pay much attention to you."

"That's how it is." An Xin nodded slightly, her mood seemingly a little down. But she quickly adjusted her mindset, as if she had made up her mind, and a faint smile appeared on her face, "I'll follow you from now on."

"If you get tired of driving, I can take over."

"???" Su Mu glanced at her. "Then Yu Yao is going to eat me alive."

"No," An Xin shook her head. "She already knows you're my savior."

"And she agreed."

"Alright then." Since she had already said that, Su Mu didn't refuse anymore. Having a beautiful woman help share the burden of driving seemed pretty good.

However, another question popped into his mind: would An Xin sleep at his place or at Yuyao's place that night? He didn't ask, but he knew the answer by evening.

Otherwise, it would be very awkward if you asked.

Time flew by, and it was already sunset.

As soon as Su Mu parked the car, Yu Yao rushed over, leaned against An Xin's car window, and shouted, "You've spent the whole afternoon with him, it's time to spend some time with me too!"

"I know, I know." An Xin couldn't help but smile. "I just parked the car."

As soon as An Xin got out of the car, Yu Yao took her arm and led her away. Before leaving, Yu Yao turned back and gave Su Mu a disapproving look.

Su Mu shook his head, unable to suppress a laugh. Yu Yao really had the mentality of a child.

He got out of the car and looked at the afterglow of the setting sun, which had painted half the sky in a magnificent golden-red hue, like a phoenix in flight.

At this moment, Cheng Jun walked over, pointed into the distance, and said, "Look over there."

"What's wrong?" Su Mu asked, turning his head to look in the direction Cheng Jun was pointing, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Several miles away on the highway, a convoy had appeared, slowly driving towards them.

The convoy consisted of about twenty vehicles. On the lead vehicle stood a flagpole with a red flag fluttering in the wind, bearing some words. However, it was too far away to see clearly.

"They even made a team flag, and I think it even has a team name." Cheng Jun found a piece of dry grass from somewhere, stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "No way, I have to get Ling Hao to make one for me too."

"Shouldn't you be worried about whether they pose a threat to us right now?" Su Mu glanced at him, somewhat speechless.

"Don't worry." Cheng Jun chuckled. "With that longsword you made, I feel terrifyingly powerful right now!"

"They are nothing to fear."

"Fine." Su Mu was speechless.

As the two were talking, Ling Hao, Yu Yao, and An Xin walked over and looked at the convoy from afar. Yu Yao said, "They look like they have quite a few people."

"Let's see what's going on first." Ling Hao narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "If anything seems amiss, don't hesitate, just take action."

"Don't worry!" Yu Yao nodded, "I'll rush there immediately."

"And me too," Cheng Jun added.

"Should I take the gun?" Su Mu asked after thinking for a moment. An Xin already knew about the AK he made that morning, so there was no need to hide it.

"Make them give up the idea of ​​attacking us as much as possible."

"What gun?" But Cheng Jun and the others didn't know, so they looked at him and asked.

"This one," Su Mu said, taking out the AK from the middle row. "How about it? Doesn't it look alright?"

"Wow, you actually made this!" Cheng Jun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, holding it in his hand and looking at it. "The feel of it brings back so many memories of the old days."

"This morning, I removed the rear axle of a car," Su Mu explained, "so I made one."

"Can I try its power?" Cheng Jun's eyes flashed with excitement as he licked his lips and couldn't help but ask.

"Okay." Su Mu nodded.

Cheng Jun cocked his gun with a backhand and fired a shot at the distant hilltop with a swift and decisive motion.

Bang! A blue tongue of fire shot out, and almost instantly, a spark over a meter in size appeared on the hilltop more than two hundred meters away. Its power was significantly greater than that of the pistol.

"Wow." Cheng Jun was startled again. He looked at the gun in his hand and sighed, "Why do I suddenly feel like my knife isn't so appealing anymore?"

"Of course." Su Mu smiled, took the gun from Cheng Jun's hand, "Don't you even know who did it?"

"Give me one too, name your price," Cheng Jun said enviously. "I'll use this to pawn my car."

"Let's wait until we have better steel," Su Mu replied.

After a few minutes

The convoy stopped about fifty or sixty meters away, and Su Mu could see the words on the flag: "Shadow Hunter Convoy".

Then, six superhumans jumped out of the SUVs in front. The leader was a middle-aged man who was somewhat thin, but had sharp eyes, like those of an eagle.

Behind him followed three men and two women, some young and some middle-aged, all exuding an arrogant aura, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know they were extraordinary beings.

When the thin man reached a dozen meters away, he waved to Su Mu and the others, a somewhat fake smile on his face, "Hello."

"We are the Shadow Hunter Team."

"Hello." Ling Hao stepped forward, looked at the thin man, and smiled politely. "We are the Flowing Light Racing Team!"
