Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

As Su Mu watched the eerie scene engulfed by the rain of arrows, its aura began to weaken rapidly.

Suddenly remembering something, he quickly turned to look at An Xin and saw that she had returned to the ground. Although her face was pale, she was not unconscious and even gave him a faint smile.

Su Mu felt relieved and looked at the strange creature again.

The rain of arrows quickly disappeared. The strange creature, though severely wounded, was not yet killed, but its aura was much weaker than before.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu immediately made a decision. He leaped up and quickly arrived at the rooftop of a shop next to the street. Then, he swung the Flowing Light in his hand and slashed fiercely at the strange creature.

As he leaped forward and swung his blade, the blade, shimmering with light, instantly grew from two meters to over ten meters, and the blue flames on it intensified.

"Die!!" Su Mu roared, his eyes resolute, and cleaved the strange creature's head and feet with a single strike.

boom---

Blue flames instantly flared up, engulfing the eerie creature in a flash.

Su Mu stood there, watching the eerie aura gradually disappear, before letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

The battle just now was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for An Xin's crucial Heavenly Punishment Arrow Rain, they wouldn't have been able to defeat this strange creature at all.

At that moment, he heard Liu Guang's weak voice in his mind, "Master, I'm so hungry, you have to find me some more food."

"No rush." ​​Su Mu glanced at it. "I'll find it for you in a bit!"

After saying that, he turned it into a dagger and put it back at his waist.

Gradually, the blue flames disappeared, leaving behind a patch of purple light, which was the source of the strangeness, and nine golden crystals, which were the fragments of the domain.

Su Mu stepped forward and first absorbed the source of the strangeness into his body. The energy value of the mechanical heart rose rapidly, reaching more than 4,500 in a short while.

He was somewhat surprised, but even happier, as he was one step closer to 100,000. This also indicated that the strange phenomenon before him was stronger than the one they had encountered in the factory ruins.

He picked up the nine domain fragments and looked at Zhao Liang and Zhang Chao. Although Zhao Liang had burned his source energy, he had not fainted, but his complexion was extremely poor and his aura was unstable, clearly he was also holding on by sheer willpower.

Zhang Chao stood beside him, supporting him with one hand, and also looked in Su Mu's direction.

Su Mu walked over, took out two domain fragments and handed them to Zhao Liang, saying calmly, "Although you also contributed, it was very little, so I can only give you two domain fragments."

"I know." Zhao Liang nodded and reached out to take it. An barely suppressed excitement flashed in his eyes, because with this, he and Zhang Chao could advance to the Profound Rank Transcendent.

"Now that the Lord-level monster is dead," Su Mu said again. "Even if there are other monsters, they should all be low-level wandering monsters, and they are not worth worrying about."

"Let's each start gathering supplies."

"Okay." Zhao Liang agreed, then turned to Zhang Chao. "Zhang Chao, help me back first, and we'll start arranging for people to collect supplies."

"Yes, Captain." Zhang Chao replied, still holding on despite having a broken arm.

Su Mu returned to An Xin's side and reached out to help her. "How about I take you back to the car first?"

"I'll collect the supplies myself."

"No need." An Xin shook her head and smiled. "I'm not that delicate. Let's go, I'll go with you."

"Furthermore, I also need to collect some special supplies."

"Alright then." Su Mu nodded, guessing what she wanted to collect. He then activated his resource sensing ability and began searching for resource points within a one-kilometer radius.

He soon sensed a large supermarket filled with supplies: food, drinks, daily necessities, and clothing.

"Let's go." Su Mu helped her and walked towards the supermarket. "Let's go take a look over there."

An Xin hummed in agreement, then hooked her arm around Su Mu's, giving him a playful smile. "I like it this way!"

A few minutes later, the two arrived near the supermarket. An Xin looked delighted. "Supermarket, let's go! Let's go check it out quickly."

"No need to rush, it's just the two of us around here right now," Su Mu said with a smile. "No one's going to steal it."

"But I also want to get in quickly," An Xin added, "to see what's inside."

"Did you used to like opening blind boxes?" Su Mu asked.

"How did you know?" An Xin looked at him with some surprise.

"You're very curious," Su Mu said with a slight smile, teasingly.

A moment later, Su Mu opened the supermarket door. An Xin saw that the light inside was very dim, so she took out her staff. A white light shone, illuminating a radius of ten meters around it.

"I didn't expect your staff could also be used as a flashlight." Su Mu raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.

"That's because my elemental attribute is light." An Xin smiled faintly, taking Su Mu's hand and walking inside.

This supermarket is quite large, covering over a thousand square meters, and has a full range of goods.

Su Mu took two large backpacks and several snakeskin bags from the backpack section and began to rummage through the supermarket.

At the same time, he would also secretly collect some food into his personal space.

The steel inside had been completely consumed by the light, freeing up a space of two or three meters in size, which could hold quite a lot of things.

They chose small, filling foods like chocolate, biscuits, and canned beef. They avoided puffed snacks altogether, finding them bulky and unsatisfying.

As for the water, Su Mu carried more than a dozen bags to the supermarket entrance, intending to drive over later and load them directly into his car.

I also collected some thicker clothes, down comforters, toilet paper, and other similar items.

Seeing that the supplies had been collected, Su Mu told An Xin and went outside the town to drive the car here.

When they had almost finished packing, Zhao Liang came over and asked, "How's your collection coming along?"

"That's about it." Su Mu glanced at him. "Once we've packed all this up, we'll be leaving."

"Then I wish you all the best in finding your convoy soon." Zhao Liang smiled slightly.

"Thank you." Su Mu said, then, as if remembering something, looked at Zhao Liang again, "Captain Zhao, this winter might be very cold."

"You should also take extra care to keep warm."

"Actually," Zhao Liang nodded slightly and sighed, "I also knew about that prophecy."

"But our team doesn't have the capability to find a more suitable location."

"They are just ordinary people; they can't withstand that kind of torment."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu didn't say anything more, but simply responded softly.

"I've been thinking about a few things for a long time, and I've decided to tell you anyway." Zhao Liang was silent for a moment, as if he had mustered up his courage before speaking.

"What?" Su Mu asked.

"I think," Zhao Liang said slowly with a self-deprecating smile, "that the arrival of the dark end of the world cannot be an excuse for the depravity of our humanity."

"It should be our reason for seeking light and hope."

"Although, you might be right."

"After all, different people make different choices in life."

"But I still believe that humanity shouldn't have succumbed to this!"

After saying that, he looked at Su Mu, raised his right hand, and gave a solemn military salute.
