Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

More than twenty minutes later

Su Mu recovered somewhat before starting the car and leaving.

Although he could no longer see Zhao Liang's convoy, there was only one road in front of him, so he wasn't worried about losing them.

Moreover, Zhao Kai was already thinking about how to deal with him, so there was no way he would let him lose track of him.

Zhao Kai was quite patient; more than two hours passed without him making a move.

Around noon, Su Mu saw a black SUV parked by the roadside in the distance, with three people standing next to it, the leader of whom was Zhao Kai.

The other two were his two henchmen.

When they saw Su Mu arrive, they twisted their necks and moved to the middle of the road, each of them beginning to unleash their extraordinary powers.

Su Mu parked the car a hundred meters away, glanced at An Xin, and said, "You can just sit in the car."

"I can handle all of them by myself."

"Mmm," An Xin replied, but her eyes remained fixed on Su Mu.

Su Mu took out the Flowing Light weapon and, in the time it took to get out of the car, transformed it into a submachine gun.

"Tch!" Zhao Kai and his two companions rushed over, their eyes filled with disdain. "We are extraordinary beings, and you're using this to fight us?"

"Don't you find it ridiculous?"

"I don't think so." Su Mu picked up the submachine gun with one hand, cocked it with his wrist, and said, "I'm sure you won't find it laughable later."

After saying that, he pulled the trigger before they could get any closer.

Instantly, blue flames shot out, and bullets flew rapidly toward Zhao Kai and his two companions.

Before they could react, the bullets had already torn through their energy defenses, pierced their bodies, and left streaks of crimson blood. Blue flames remained, rapidly burning their flesh.

The three men froze, staring in disbelief at the gun in Su Mu's hand. "How could your gun hurt us?"

"What else?" Su Mu smiled slightly, his eyes full of disdain, watching them being engulfed by the flames.

"No, no!" Zhao Kai panicked and was terrified. He screamed desperately, trying to break free from the blue flames, but before he could run a few steps, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, and his screams gradually faded away.

The same applies to the other two.

Before long, they were completely burned to ashes. A gust of wind came, and only a small knife lay quietly on the ground.

"Master, Master!" A voice suddenly rang in Su Mu's mind, filled with excitement. "Quick, that thing is a sequence artifact, I want to eat it."

"What's the rush?" Su Mu stepped forward, picked it up, and examined it. It was a butterfly knife with strange patterns on it. He put it in his pocket first. "You can eat that car over there later."

"I'll give you this knife later."

"Okay," Liu Guang replied dejectedly.

Su Mu drove up to the black SUV, searched inside and found two backpacks full of food, which he handed to An Xin. Then, he placed his hand on the SUV, a flash of blue light enveloping it, and it began to rapidly transform.

"What's going on?" An Xin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Get some food for Liuguang," Su Mu explained. In just a moment, the huge vehicle body transformed into a seven- or eight-meter-long iron rod, about the thickness of a person, leaving only four tires, some plastic, broken glass, and other debris scattered all over the ground.

He then tossed the light into his hand, saying, "Eat it quickly."

"Alright!" A voice filled his mind with excitement. He saw the light quickly transform into a broadsword about two meters long, which began to devour the iron rod with a crackling sound.

"It's really enjoying its food!" An Xin said with a smile when she saw this.

"It can eat anything that's metal," Su Mu added.

"They grow up eating these things."

"And what about pursuing dreams?" An Xin thought of something, looked at the car, and asked, "How did it evolve?"

"Just let Zhu Meng bask in the sun." Su Mu reached out and touched Zhu Meng, somewhat helplessly, "But it will grow very slowly this way."

"Then you'll have the least trouble," An Xin said softly. "You don't have to be like Liu Guang, constantly thinking about finding food for it."

As the two chatted, within minutes the light had completely devoured the large iron rod, then let out a burp and shrunk back to the size of a dagger.

Su Mu put it back on his waist and drove on without lingering.

"Master, Master," Liu Guang's voice kept ringing in Su Mu's mind, "I want to eat that little knife."

"Let you digest it first," Su Mu said to it in his mind, "so you don't have to hold it in any longer, or you'll feel uncomfortable again."

Liu Guang fell silent upon hearing Su Mu's words.

after an hour

Su Mu drove the car to a high ground and saw Zhao Liang's convoy parked on the side of the road seven or eight kilometers away.

He and An Xin sat in the car, eating while keeping an eye on the situation over there.

A few minutes later, two cars drove out of their convoy and sped off in the direction they had come from.

"They must have gone to find Zhao Kai and the others," An Xin said.

"Definitely." Su Mu leaned back in his seat and said calmly, "Just wait, they might not set off until tomorrow."

"After dinner, I need to get some rest."

Where the "Through Thick and Thin" team is located

Zhao Liang looked at Zhao Li, his expression furious, and shouted, "Tell me honestly, what exactly did your brother go to do?"

"He said his stomach wasn't feeling well," Zhao Li said hesitantly, her eyes darting around. "And then he stopped."

"Then look me in the eye," Zhao Liang said in a deep voice, "and repeat what you just said."

"Dad," Zhao Li took a deep breath and looked directly at Zhao Liang, "Why are you so agitated? My brother just didn't follow."

"I'll be back in a bit."

"You're really disappointing me more and more." Zhao Liang sighed deeply. "Did you think I couldn't see through your lies?"

"If you don't believe me," Zhao Li added, "you can wait until my brother comes back and ask him."

"Wait until he gets back, then I'll teach you both a lesson." Zhao Liang snorted, got back into his car, and ignored Zhao Li.

Looking at the northern highway, Zhao Li muttered, "Brother, you'd better come back soon!"

"Otherwise, Dad will scold me again."

Two hours later, the two cars that had gone out returned. Zhao Liang hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Where are they? Why are only you two back?"

"Captain." The people in the two cars got out, looking troubled. "Zhao Kai and the others seem to have been eaten by something."

"What?" Zhao Liang's face turned extremely pale upon hearing this. "Where is it? Take me there immediately!"

After saying that, he got into the car and drove away quickly with the group.

Upon hearing those words, Zhao Li felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, nearly collapsing to the ground. Her eyes glazed over as she murmured, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
