Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

"I was caught by them once before," the man, Yao Zhe, sighed, his eyes dimming. "I overheard this news by chance."

"Later, I found a chance to escape."

"But they hadn't been able to escape for long before they caught them again."

"They took me back just now, and when they saw you, they attacked you."

"Where is the Flying Eagle Society's headquarters?" Su Mu asked after a moment's thought.

"It's in that ruined city, over a thousand kilometers ahead," Yao Zhe pointed. Then, as if remembering something, he quickly explained, "I'm a transcendent of the lightning sequence."

"So it's faster."

"Lightning Sequence?" Su Mu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. "Logically speaking, those with this sequence should be very powerful."

"How can you be so weak?"

"I only recently awakened," Yao Zhe quickly explained, raising his hand. A bolt of lightning, as thick as an earthworm, appeared in his palm, crackling with a sound.

"Furthermore, I only have a superficial understanding of the power of lightning."

"Apart from being fast, it's not good in any other aspect."

"You're quite honest." Su Mu looked him over and began to consider taking him on as a follower.

He wouldn't care so much about other sequence extraordinary beings. But this lightning sequence extraordinary being, once fully developed, would have incredibly powerful attack capabilities. The only problem is that this person must be loyal.

Otherwise, it would be a disaster.

"I... I really want to come with you." A pleading look flashed in Yao Zhe's eyes, and he couldn't help but say again, "Please take me with you."

"Okay." Su Mu looked at him for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "But there's no room in my car."

"You can sit on the roof if you want."

"Once we find another car, you can drive it yourself."

"Great!" Yao Zhe said with delight, "Thank you, thank you, boss."

Su Mu turned around and took two loaves of bread and a bottle of water from the back seat, handing them to Yao Zhe. "Take these, you can eat them first."

"Thank you, boss!" Yao Zhe accepted it with both hands.

"Just call me Brother Mu," Su Mu said after a moment of silence. "No need to call me Boss."

"I understand, Brother Mu." Yao Zhe scratched his head, chuckled, and his eyes were full of joy.

"Let's hurry up and get on," Su Mu gestured. "We need to keep going."

"Okay." Yao Zhe replied, then leaped onto the roof of the car, sat cross-legged, and ate his bread while grinning foolishly.

After driving onto the highway, Su Mu headed east towards the ruined city.

Although the Flying Eagle Society is there, the ruined city is also the only way to reach Falling Moon Valley, and Cheng Jun and his group are very likely there as well.

An Xin looked at Su Mu and said sweetly, "Su Mu, I'll call you Brother Mu from now on."

"Why?" Su Mu asked, somewhat surprised, and glanced at her again.

"I think it sounds more intimate to call you that," An Xin thought for a moment and explained, "Is that okay?"

"Okay," Su Mu replied with a smile.

"Hehe, that's great!" An Xin swayed happily, calling out several times, "Brother Mu! Brother Mu!"

Every time she called out, Su Mu would respond.

For a moment, she was laughing so hard she couldn't stop!

dusk

Su Mu parked the car on the side of the road. After he and An Xin finished eating, they took some food, got out of the car, and looked at Yao Zhe sitting on the roof. "Get out!"

"What's up, Brother Mu?" Yao Zhe jumped down, wiping the dust off his face and revealing a simple smile.

"It's late," Su Mu said, handing him the bread and water. "Here's something to eat."

"Thank you, Brother Mu." Yao Zhe accepted the gift with both hands and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Wait a minute." Su Mu turned around and went to the trunk, took out a set of clean clothes and handed them to him. "Change into these, and you can sleep in the driver's seat tonight."

"Okay." Yao Zhe quickly put the food on the roof of the car, took the clothes, and hurriedly changed into them.

"One more thing," Su Mu added, remembering something, "No need to keep watch, get some rest."

"There might be a battle tomorrow."

"Yes." Yao Zhe nodded quickly. He understood what Su Mu meant. They would arrive at the City of Ruins tomorrow, and once they encountered the Flying Eagle Society, a conflict was inevitable.

Su Mu took An Xin back to the trunk and said to Zhu Meng in his mind, "Zhu Meng, create a partition to separate the two front seats."

"Also, remember to pay attention to what Yao Zhe says."

"If anything is wrong, please tell me immediately."

"Okay." Zhu Meng agreed, and a black partition silently appeared behind the driver's seat.

Su Mu lay there and sang a lullaby for a while before finally lulling An Xin to sleep.

Just as he was about to rest, a slightly cheeky voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "Master, I'm awake!"

Have you missed me?

"You slept for quite a while," Su Mu said, pursing his lips, somewhat speechless.

"The main problem was the excessive energy expenditure," Liu Guang sighed. "But after a good night's sleep, I'm fully recovered."

Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly asked, "By the way, have you prepared the steel for me?"

"There's plenty," Su Mu said to it in his mind. "They're all in my personal space. Do you want to go eat them now?"

"Yes!" Liu Guang exclaimed quickly, "I want to eat my fill."

Before it could finish speaking, Su Mu tossed it into the pile of iron pillars in his personal space. The light then transformed into a broadsword over two meters long and began to devour it greedily. It ate with obvious delight and gusto.

next morning

Su Mu opened his eyes, glanced at An Xin who was still fast asleep, and asked Zhu Meng in his heart, "Has Yao Zhe done anything unusual?"

"No." Zhu Meng's voice echoed in his mind, "He kept grinning like an idiot while he was eating."

"After eating and drinking his fill, he was still grinning like an idiot until he fell asleep."

"Master, you didn't take in an idiot as your follower, did you?"

"..." Su Mu was speechless after hearing its words. "Keep an eye on it."

"Understood," Zhu Meng replied.

"By the way, how's your digestion of that barrier skeleton going?" Su Mu asked, remembering something.

"I've been completely assimilated," Zhu Meng quickly replied. "I can cast the protective barrier tonight."

"Do you need my energy?" Su Mu asked.

"No need," Zhu Meng's voice rang out. "I also have a certain amount of energy stored within me."

"Enough to support the energy consumption of the protective barrier."

"That's fine then." Su Mu was relieved.

Around noon

Su Mu drove his car and finally arrived outside the ruined city.

But instead of driving straight in, he headed south, intending to circle the city to the seaside in the east.

They hadn't gone far when a furious roar suddenly echoed through the city—it was Cheng Jun's voice after he transformed into a giant!

His expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned the steering wheel and sped off in that direction!
