Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

Around noon, the sky began to darken.

The wind grew stronger, bringing a chill.

Su Mu looked out the car window at the northern sky, a serious look flashing in his eyes. "It looks like it's going to rain!"

"Let it rain," An Xin sighed. "It's been so long since it rained."

"The air is extremely dry."

"If it really rains, I'll go to the RV and ask Yuyao to turn on the rainwater collector."

"The collected water can be filtered and used for a bath!"

Su Mu glanced at her and voiced his concern, "The weather is changing erratically these days."

"My worry is, if it doesn't rain now, it might just keep raining forever!"

"That will affect our journey!"

"I don't think so." Upon hearing this, An Xin's expression became more serious, and she glanced again at the clouds in the northern sky.

During the lunch break, raindrops began to fall from the sky. They weren't heavy, but the wind was still quite strong, as if countless wild beasts were running wildly and roaring!

An Xin hurriedly went to the RV, gave Yu Yao a few instructions, and then returned to Su Mu's place.

Su Mu sat in the car, watching An Xin run back. Her hair danced wildly in the wind, revealing a unique charm. Her figure was somewhat slender, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

An Xin wrapped her coat tighter around herself, hurried to the passenger door, opened it, and got in. She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so windy, it's getting a bit chilly!"

"I'll get you a coat." Su Mu said, taking a thicker coat from the back seat and handing it to An Xin. "Wear this to keep warm."

An Xin took the blanket and covered her legs, looking out the car window with some worry, "With such strong winds, I don't know if we can keep going."

"It's okay to run a little slower." Su Mu took the bread and handed one to her. "If it gets too windy, we'll run on the south side of the bus."

"Let's eat something first."

Just then, the horn on Ling Hao's car in front suddenly sounded, "Attention all vehicles, heavy to torrential rain is expected in the next three hours."

"We need to set off immediately to find a place to take shelter from the rain."

"Also, all cars should drive on the south side of the bus, just in case."

As the sound from the loudspeaker faded, the first RV began to slowly start moving.

Su Mu also turned the steering wheel, driving the car to the south of the bus, and continued on the road with the convoy.

Gradually, the light rain turned into a moderate rain, and the wind grew stronger, but the convoy did not slow down; in fact, it sped up a bit.

After driving for a while, the convoy suddenly turned onto a southbound highway. This highway appeared to be a country road, only five or six meters wide.

The trees on both sides were withered, with only bare branches swaying in the wind. Every now and then, broken branches would fall and hit the car with a loud thud.

Because Su Mu's car had been following the last bus, when he turned onto this country road, his car was sandwiched between the last two buses.

Therefore, we couldn't see the situation ahead clearly, so we could only keep a steady speed and follow.

Seeing the car slow down, Su Mu was somewhat surprised. "Why is the car going so slow?"

"Could it be that we're almost at the place Ling Hao mentioned where we can take shelter from the rain?"

"Possibly." An Xin pressed her head against the car window, trying to look ahead, but the bus blocked her view, and she couldn't see anything.

"Why don't you move the car a little over here, let me take a look?"

"Okay." Su Mu replied, turning the steering wheel to steer the car slightly to the right.

Then An Xin saw what was ahead: "It looks like there's a large bridge ahead."

"Then we'd better be careful when we cross." Upon hearing this, Su Mu felt a strange sense of unease.

After driving a little further, the convoy slowed down, and a horn sounded from ahead: "The bridge ahead is quite narrow and looks rather old."

"Everyone, don't rush, one car goes first, then the second car comes up!"

"To avoid any accidents!"

After a moment, the convoy stopped.

The first vehicle to cross the bridge was Ling Hao's RV. It wasn't going very fast, and because the bridge was quite long, it took them a minute to get across.

Next came Chengjun RV, Yuyao RV, as well as sidecar trucks and oil trucks, one after another driving by.

About seven or eight minutes later, it was finally Su Mu's turn to drive.

He drove onto the bridge, his unease growing stronger. He wasn't driving fast, and the wind on the bridge was getting increasingly fierce, as if it were a pair of giant hands pushing his car forcefully.

Before he knew it, his car was going much faster.

Su Mu was startled. Could he be blown off the bridge? He quickly steadied the car and glanced down. The river flowed swiftly and relentlessly; if he fell in, he would be instantly swallowed.

It's practically impossible to escape alive.

An Xin's expression was also somewhat serious, and she subconsciously gripped the handrail on the car door. "The wind on this bridge seems to be getting stronger."

"It's mainly the guardrails on both sides of the bridge that create wind gaps," Su Mu said, reassuringly adding, "Don't worry, I'm keeping a steady speed."

"Hmm." An Xin nodded, but her expression remained very serious.

The car slowly drove towards the other side, swaying occasionally in the wind and rain.

opposite bank of the bridge

Cheng Jun and his group parked their car on the side of the road, waiting for Su Mu and the others.

"Boss!" Just then, Old Han, who was driving, noticed something and quickly shouted, "There are pieces of debris fallen from the bridge!"

"What?" Cheng Jun heard the sound and rushed to the driver's seat. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Old Han said, pointing to the right-side rearview mirror. "I just saw a piece of debris fall into the river with my own eyes."

Just as he finished speaking, Cheng Jun saw more pebbles falling from the bridge through the rearview mirror, and his expression immediately became very serious. "Oh no, I have to go and warn Su Mu."

"Tell them to drive faster."

With that, he pushed open the car door, braved the wind and rain, and walked towards the stone bridge. He put his hands to his mouth, unleashed some Titan power, and shouted loudly,

"Su Mu, hurry up."

"There are loose stones falling from the bridge!"

His voice was loud, penetrating the wind and rain, reaching Su Mu's ears two hundred meters away, and even further away, reaching the ears of the people on the bus at the north end of the bridge more than three hundred meters away.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu's expression immediately turned serious. He took a deep breath, stepped on the gas, and began to accelerate.

An Xin's heart was in her throat, and she gripped the car door handle tightly with both hands.

The bus on the north side of the bridge

Upon hearing Cheng Jun's voice, the crowd erupted in chaos, everyone tense and urging the driver to leave immediately.

"The captain said we can only leave after a car passes by." The driver, who was one of Ling Hao's men, looked very anxious, but he still refrained from driving.

"There's just a small SUV up ahead," someone shouted. "It's not heavy."

"Let's go quickly."

"If we drag this out too long and the bridge collapses, none of us will be able to cross!" someone shouted.

"Hurry up and start it."

"If you're not going to drive, let me drive." At this moment, a burly man stepped out of the carriage and said to the driver with a fierce expression.

"You can't drive." The driver tried to say something more, but the next moment he was grabbed by the burly man and several other people and thrown aside.

The burly man then sat in the driver's seat, turned the key, stepped on the gas, and sped towards the bridge.
