Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

That is, after realizing that they had become abnormal, the four people's rationality rapidly diminished, and their human characteristics became less and less.

In just a few breaths, Xiao Li's arm transformed into a giant crab claw.

Then, the crab-like features on the other three people also became more and more pronounced.

Xiao Li was startled by his own crab claw. He instinctively used force, and the crab claw clamped the car door in two.

"No...we're not human anymore!"

Xiao Li's tone was blank and horrified.

Just hours earlier, he was eating communal meals with the other survivors in the convoy, dreaming about the future after escaping to the Firewood Shelter.

Now, they are like strangers.

Xiao Li raised his head and looked at the crowd a few meters away. Their eyes were darting around in fear, and they dared not meet his gaze.

He had that look in his eyes before; it was the look of terror he had when he encountered strange monsters.

Now, he has become an anomaly.

He still retained a sliver of reason, but the other three crab-faced men beside him had completely gone mad.

They stretched out their legs and took two steps closer to the crowd.

boom!

A gunshot rang out in the red night.

The presence of residual human genes in his body left Xiao Li stunned.

He looked to his side and saw that it wasn't him who had been shot, but another crab-faced man.

Hu Dong fired the shot, and he tried to communicate:

"Look, for the sake of our past as comrades... please let us go, okay?"

The crab-faced man didn't answer and charged straight towards the crowd.

Hu Dong was terrified and fired several shots. The bullets embedded themselves in the crab-faced man's skin, but the crab-faced man felt no pain and continued to charge forward.

With a single sprint, the enormous crab claws snapped several survivors in half at the waist.

Terrified screams erupted from the crowd as everyone desperately fled towards bus number 2.

But the crab-faced man was incredibly fast. He caught up with the fleeing person in one sprint, then crushed the person to death with a single pincer. His crab head was buried in the corpse, devouring it until it was a bloody mess.

"Don't run!"

"Quick, stop him!"

"If we don't stop them, we'll all die!"

Hu Dong shouted in a panic and fired several more shots. Some of the brave survivors, a dozen or so, gathered together and took crowbars, machetes or similar weapons to hack at the crab-faced man.

But the iron crowbar was easily broken by the crab claws.

Dozens of survivors, plus two superhumans, were utterly powerless against the four crab-faced men!

This is the crushing power of the supernatural over humanity!

Inside the jeep, Su Xing's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly called out:

"Huozi, start the car, be ready to run away at any time!"

Su Xing realized that Hu Dong, this extraordinary individual, was not much stronger than an ordinary person in terms of combat power.

If this continues, the entire convoy may be wiped out.

Moreover, the crab-faced man is extremely fast; his sprint speed just now was no less than that of a starting car.

You must start the car before you have a chance to escape.

"abnormal……"

Su Xing held the Type 92 pistol in his hand, aimed it at the crab-faced man a dozen meters away, hesitated for a moment, and then put the gun away.

Firearms pose no threat to the crab-faced man; firing them rashly will only attract hatred.

"hateful!"

"There are still six hours until the upgrade is complete. A regular pistol is simply no match for the anomaly!"

Su Xing was getting a little anxious; how could he not understand the principle of mutual dependence?

After dealing with those people, the crab-faced man's next target will be him.

As for running away now?

The only two superhumans in the convoy didn't get in the car, so where can he run now?

Without Hu Dong's ability to detect the anomaly, the two brothers probably wouldn't have survived more than three days on this vast highway.

"Our only hope lies with Fang Yuan..."

Su Xing kept a close eye on Fang Yuan's movements. Compared to Captain Hu, who was more like a support role, Fang Yuan, the mechanic, was clearly more combat-ready.

Especially the oddly shaped gun in his hand!

It was at this moment that Fang Yuan fired his gun.

boom!

A gunshot rang out.

It didn't sound like a pistol; it sounded more like a Barrett sniper rifle firing.

The muzzle flashed and the bullet whizzed out; the sound alone revealed the gun's immense recoil.

But Fang Yuan still held the gun firmly, showing that his strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.

The bullet struck a crab-faced man in the chest, blasting a crater the size of a fist into his chest.

Pale blue blood flowed out.

"Wow, that's incredibly powerful!"

Su Xing was taken aback. This pistol had only been in Fang Yuan's hands for two days, but it had obviously been modified into an extraordinary item.

Only such extraordinary items can truly harm the abnormal.

"Aww~"

The crab-faced man let out a mournful cry.

But he was clearly not out of the fight; the eye on his head instantly turned crimson, the pain enraging him, and he charged toward the crowd.

"What are you all standing there for! Cover me!"

Fang Yuan called out, then said to Hu Dong:

"Old Hu, you go back to the car first..."

Before Fang Yuan could finish speaking, he realized that Hu Dong had already disappeared.

When danger strikes, this old man runs faster than anyone else.

A dozen or so people temporarily stopped the crab-faced man—well, it's not really stopping him, since the crab-faced man needs time to kill.

Taking advantage of this moment, Hu Dong fired three more shots.

The first two shots hit the crab-faced man as if they had struck a hard iron shell, causing very limited damage.

As for the third shot, it was dodged at close range by the crab-faced man.

After firing several shots, Fang Yuan gasped for breath, seemingly exhausted from using the pistol.

"Brother, I'll go help!"

Inside the car, Su Yan called out and prepared to open the car door.

Anyone with eyes could see that if things continued this way, the entire convoy would be wiped out.

"Just say you want to die!"

Su Xing cursed and stopped Su Yan from getting out of the car; he was also in a state of utter confusion.

Fang Yuan was clearly not good at fighting either; he was only able to deal with the crab-faced man because of the gun in his hand.

If this continues, Fang Yuan will die, and the entire convoy will perish!

"What to do... what to do?"

In my anxious awakening, I suddenly heard a voice narrating in my mind.

[A gluttonous person was cursed by a mysterious rice paddy and transformed into a monster with a crab's head on its neck.]

The crab-faced man possessed strength dozens of times greater than that of an ordinary person, and indiscriminately slaughtered the survivors, leaving the convoy severely damaged.

But you discover that while the crab-faced man is physically strong, he retains some characteristics of a crab, and also possesses the weaknesses of a crab...

Characteristics of crabs! Weaknesses of crabs!

The narrator's hint was just right, and Su Xing grasped the key information, racking his brains to think it through.

He observed the movements of the crab-faced men and quickly discovered something amiss.

Without hesitation, Su Xing rolled down the car window and shouted:

"Crab-faced men! These monsters' weak point is the back of their heads!"

"Also, they're good at moving sideways! Their forward speed decreases!"

Su Xing called out several times, but it was unclear whether the superhuman could hear him in the chaotic environment.

Fortunately, the wake-up call worked.

The survivors began running and dodging, managing to evade the crab-faced man's attacks several times.

Although the Crab-faced Man sprints very fast, he often sprints sideways and is not good at sprinting vertically or turning.

Simply grasping this point can significantly reduce the losses.

Fang Yuan stared intently at the back of the crab-faced man's head.

The area that was originally the back of the head has now become the crab's abdomen, which is white and has horizontal stripes.

The abdomen of a crab lacks a hard shell and is the most vulnerable part of its body.

Clearly, the crab-faced man also inherited this weakness.

boom!

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet struck the back of a crab-faced man's head.

The immense force caused the crab-faced man's entire head to explode open.

The crab-faced man, struck, fell straight to the ground, with bluish-white fleshy buds and a fluid resembling crab roe flowing from the back of his head.

But the crab-faced man didn't die; he just lay on the ground panting, his eyes fixed on Fang Yuan.

After firing several shots, Fang Yuan's face turned deathly pale; using extraordinary weapons had taken a heavy toll on him.

In less than a minute of fighting, the convoy had lost more than a dozen men, and the result was only to render one crab-faced man incapable of fighting, without even killing him.

"No, this can't go on!"

"Run! Everyone get back to the car!"

Fang Yuan spoke quickly, and without paying attention to the others, he fled back to the SUV.

Seeing that the superhumans had all fled, the others scattered and rushed toward bus number 2.

Boom!

The roar of a car engine came from ahead.

Hu Dong's SUV started first, its headlights came on, and it headed straight for the road ahead.

"Huozi, don't just stand there!"

"Quick! Follow Captain Hu!"

Su Xing quickly reminded him.

Su Yan didn't dare to hesitate. He stepped on the gas, and the jeep started up and followed behind Captain Hu's car.

Even sitting in the car, my heart was still pounding.

He turned around and saw through the rear window the survivors frantically fleeing into the bus.

They saw a large amount of supplies scattered on the open ground, and many survivors were seen climbing onto vehicles, only to be quickly caught up by the crab-faced men and torn to pieces.

What terrified Su Xing even more was that the crab-faced man, whose weak spot on the back of the head had been hit, shakily got up.

A bluish liquid oozed from the wound, and white granulation tissue grew wildly.

"This... this unkillable anomaly..."

Su Xing struggled to look away, pursed his lips, and for the first time since transmigrating, he directly experienced an extraordinary terror.

Despite the combined efforts of dozens of people and two superhumans, and at the cost of nearly twenty lives, they couldn't even kill a single crab-faced man.

Even the crab-faced man wasn't a powerful anomaly; he was simply a mutation that occurred after eating the strange rice crab.

Under the crimson moon, the convoy sped along the highway, heads down.

No one dared to stop the car, for no one knew if the crab-faced men would catch up.

We sped along the highway for several hours.

Until the red moon set and the sky gradually brightened.

The SUV led by Captain Hu had just turned on its hazard lights to signal the convoy to stop and rest.

Hu Dong slipped a cigarette between his fingers and leaned against the car, taking a few deep drags.

Fang Yuan also got out of the car, his usually neat slicked-back hair now disheveled.

Dozens of people squeezed out of bus number 2, and the fleet manager was counting the number of people.

Inside the Jeep, Su Yan gripped the steering wheel tightly and sighed, saying:

"Brother...are we safe now?"

"It should be... safe now..." Su Xing's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Just then, a notification popped into his mind that the enhancement was complete.

The extraordinary item "Rune Pistol" has been upgraded. Please check your inventory.
