Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

Upon seeing the dark muzzle of the gun, the thin man shrank back in fear and hid behind the burly man.

Although the burly man's eyes were filled with resentment, he dared not gamble. If there were bullets in the gun, he would be finished.

This made him seethe with anger. He glared at Su Mu, then turned and kicked the thin man hard in the stomach, sending him flying two meters away. He shouted in a deep voice, "All you know is to dodge, ordering me to charge upwards."

"A worthless piece of trash."

After saying that, he ignored the thin man and walked forward, carrying the wooden stick.

The thin man lay on the ground, groaning in pain. The kick from the burly man had been quite powerful, and he hadn't been able to get up for a long time.

Su Mu glanced at him disdainfully, tucked the pistol back into his waistband, and continued pedaling his tricycle slowly on his way.

As for the other hikers, they subconsciously kept their distance from Su Mu, afraid of accidentally provoking him and getting shot.

A moment later, only the gaunt man remained. He struggled for a long time before finally getting to his feet. He swayed precariously at a distance behind, his eyes fixed fiercely on Su Mu's retreating figure.

"You just wait."

"When I get the chance, I will definitely not let you go."

As darkness fell, the convoy showed no sign of stopping.

Su Mu frowned and called out to the hikers ahead, "Hey, do you know why the convoy isn't stopping?"

"They shouted over the loudspeaker earlier." After a moment, a thin young man wearing glasses turned around and glanced at him, saying, "The strange creature chasing us seems to have sped up."

"We need to find a secluded place to camp."

"Thanks." Su Mu said thank you, but his expression became serious.

He glanced back; the gray fog behind him grew thicker and thicker, and the figure of the gaunt man appeared and disappeared, as if he might be swallowed up at any moment.

He turned his gaze back to the repeating crossbow in the truck bed and muttered to himself, "If only I could hold this thing in my hand."

"Just raise your arm when you want to use it."

He pedaled the tricycle forward, thinking about how to improve the repeating crossbow.

Just then, a piercing scream suddenly came from behind, "Ah, help!!!"

Su Mu's expression changed, and he quickly looked behind him. He saw a huge gray tentacle emerge from the mist, quickly lifting the thin man high into the air. Then, a gray-white face, as big as a small house, appeared from the mist.

It opened its blood-red maw, as big as a door, and swallowed the gaunt man whole.

Blood splattered everywhere, the screams stopped abruptly, and half of the blood-stained lower leg fell off.

This terrifying scene truly shocked everyone. "It's eerie! The eerie thing is catching up!!!"

Su Mu's face turned pale. He swallowed hard and, not daring to linger any longer, pedaled the tricycle furiously, speeding forward.

The hikers were terrified and screamed as they ran frantically forward.

Some of the more timid ones felt as if their legs were made of lead, unable to move no matter what they did. They even lost control of their bladder and bowels, standing there trembling, constantly crying out, "Ah---, help me, someone please help me!"

Some people fell to the ground in terror and couldn't get up, so they could only crawl forward little by little with their hands.

As the enormous, eerie creature caught up, those who had fallen to the ground and remained standing were all lifted up by its tentacles and sent into its terrifying maw.

The crunching sounds of chewing continued, blood flowed freely, and screams ripped through the sky, sending chills down one's spine!

Su Mu didn't dare to look back and kept pedaling the tricycle furiously. By this time, he had caught up with the group of bicycles.

Just as he was about to continue running forward, the cars at the very front suddenly stopped, and three people jumped out of them and rushed towards the back of the line.

The leader was a young man who, as he ran, produced a flaming longsword over a meter long in his hand. The intense red light flashed continuously, illuminating the man's handsome and resolute face in a crimson glow.

He was Ling Hao, the captain of the team, and the one who awakened the Fireseed Pioneer Sequence.

Following him to the left was a large man, the team's vice-captain, named Cheng Jun. As he ran, his size rapidly increased, and his skin began to petrify.

In just a few seconds, it grew to five or six meters tall, like a running hill, and the ground trembled slightly with every step it took.

To Ling Hao's right was a beautiful woman in a super short leather skirt, who was also the team's vice-captain, named Yu Yao. Dozens of cold lights, the size of daggers, appeared around her.

Those cold lights emitted a bluish glow, as if they were formed from condensed wind.

Ling Hao and his two companions moved with incredible speed, reaching the strange creature in mere moments. They then engaged it in battle from three different directions.

Su Mu stopped the car, turned around, and quietly watched the battle unfold.

Cheng Jun, that big guy, charged at the front, directly clashing head-on with that strange creature, and also took the most hits.

Ling Hao and Yu Yao flanked the monster from the left and right, unleashing a barrage of fire and wind blades. For a time, the three of them gained the upper hand and dominated the strange creature.

Upon seeing this, the people in the convoy cheered, their fear vanishing instantly. "Great! They truly are extraordinary individuals."

"That's amazing!!"

But just when everyone thought that Ling Hao and his two companions could defeat the strange creature, the mist in the distance suddenly surged, and then several tentacles, like snakes, rushed out of the mist and quickly coiled around Ling Hao.

Ling Hao's expression changed, and he hurriedly retreated, changing the direction of his fire blade to slash directly at the second strange creature that had appeared.

This new anomaly directly disrupted the balance of the battle, instantly putting the three who had initially held the advantage at a disadvantage.

In particular, Cheng Jun, who was the first to be hit, had his body torn open with horrifying wounds by the strange tearing.

Cheng Jun let out thunderous roars, constantly stimulating the power within his body, barely managing to block the two strange and fierce attacks. But he only managed to barely hold them off.

Ling Hao and Yu Yao weren't much better off; they were caught off guard and were flung away by the sudden tentacles, looking quite disheveled.

The people in the convoy panicked immediately. Fear spread rapidly. Some lamented, while others ran forward, trying to escape.

Su Mu's expression was very solemn. If these three were defeated, the entire caravan would cease to exist. Even if he survived by chance, he would be completely lost.

However, taking action would inevitably attract the attention of those three, and might even cause trouble. But compared to attracting attention and trouble, getting lost and dying are far more terrifying.

With that thought in mind, he stopped hesitating, grabbed the repeating crossbow from the back of the cart, loaded it with arrows, and shouted to the bespectacled man standing not far away, "You watch over the tricycle for me, and I'll give you three bags of bread later."

"If anyone dares to steal it, just remember it for me."

"When I get back, I'll destroy them all."

"Okay." The bespectacled man quickly replied and went to guard Su Mu's tricycle.

Su Mu said no more and charged toward the battle behind him.
