Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Su Ye didn't use much power; he merely used the tip of his claw to glide across the rock wall beside him, leaving five smooth cuts about an inch deep, as if slicing tofu. The cut surfaces were smooth and still retained a trace of cold, icy aura.

With another thought, the claw form instantly dissipated, and his hands returned to their original state. However, the pale flame mark on his wrists remained, indicating that the module had been fully integrated and could be used at any time.

"Such sharpness! And the accompanying chilling, corrosive effect..."

Su Ye's eyes gleamed, feeling that the 1000 points of strange power he had spent were absolutely worthwhile.

This not only greatly enhances his destructive power, but more importantly, this attack method can be perfectly combined with his devouring ability. While his claws tear apart enemies, his devouring tentacles can also invade them!

He sensed his body again.

[Strange Power: 1137 points]

It was quite costly, but in return, he gained the attack method he craved most at this stage.

If we were to fight that giant claw again now, it would be an incredibly easy battle.

It's not that they could only break through the opponent's defenses, which were made of strange source power, by relying on the power of the Pain Mark.

However, the pain mark played the biggest role this time; otherwise, given his current physical strength and the strange source power within him...

Facing this bizarre giant claw, let alone killing it, at best, one would be lucky to survive thanks to the bizarre power stored within the [Alien] sequence.

Not to mention trying to injure the opponent, shatter the defense constructed by the opponent's strange source power, and make that strange source power leave the body, it is simply a hellish level of difficulty.

"It's time to leave."

Su Ye's gaze swept across the empty mountain path.

The "tail" at the back hesitated after the giant claw's bizarre death, but after a long while, it seemed to finally make up its mind and began to slowly disperse in other directions.

They were clearly stunned by the commotion of the battle just now and the eerie dissipation of the giant claw's aura.

Ahead, the convoy's presence was already faint and difficult to discern, but its general direction was correct.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took a deep breath and suddenly exerted force in his leg muscles!

boom!

The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, and his figure shot out like an arrow released from a bow!

This time, he was faster than before, his steps were more steady and powerful, and each stomp seemed to contain a stronger burst of energy.

The mountain wind whistled in my ears, and the scenery on both sides rushed past.

As Su Ye ran, she adapted to the new changes in her body and the increased strength.

"At this rate, combined with what Chen Shou said earlier about soon leaving the most densely populated area..."

I should be able to catch up with them during the team's next longer rest period.

Su Ye made an estimate in his mind.

He believed that after the initial panic, the Li Xiaowei sisters would follow his instructions and stick to the convoy.

I wonder how they are doing...

And what will Chen Shou and the others' expressions be when they see me 'alive' catching up with them?

Su Ye's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and he quickened his pace, like a black arrow tearing through the night, relentlessly pursuing the convoy.

····

On one side of the convoy, a little earlier, during the chaotic moment when Su Ye was "thrown" away.

Li Xiaowei's voice, trembling and choked with sobs, cut in over the public channel of the walkie-talkie; she was almost incoherent:

"Captain Chen! Sister Lin Wei! Old Zhao!"

Brother Su Ye...

He jumped off the bus to right our car! We've fallen behind!

Behind……

Those things behind are catching up quickly!

Her voice was filled with fear, self-blame, and confusion.

Almost simultaneously, or a fraction of an instant earlier, some members of the convoy also faintly heard that piercing sound.

"Stay close to the convoy! I'll catch up!"

When Li Xiaowei confirmed this, everyone's hearts sank.

There was a brief silence on the channel, with only the buzzing of electricity and background noise.

Then Old Zhao's rough, irritable voice boomed out first, filled with undisguised anger at his son's lack of ambition:

"What a stupid kid! Is his brain full of stones?"

It's just a beat-up car! It flipped over, so what!

If he jumps down and runs a couple of steps, my big pickup truck won't be missing a seat!

Now look what's happened, a person has fallen into that kind of place, surrounded by ghosts and monsters!

No matter how good he is at fighting or how resilient he is, how many can he withstand?!

His curses echoed through the channel, filled with heartache and indignation at Su Ye's "foolish choice."

In his view, Su Ye could easily handle this crisis.

Lin Wei's cool voice rang out calmly in the channel, interrupting Old Zhao's grumbling and getting straight to the most crucial question:

"Captain Chen, what should we do?"

Her voice didn't reveal much emotion, but those familiar with her might detect a faint, elusive hint of regret beneath her usually brief sentences.

Even she herself might not be fully aware of that slight reluctance.

Chen Shou's breathing came through the walkie-talkie, sounding slightly heavy; he did not answer immediately.

As captain, he had to make a decision in an instant:

The possibility of turning back to rescue them is almost zero; that would be suicidal and would destroy the entire convoy.

Waiting in place? It's the same as waiting to die.

So, there's only one choice left...

His silence itself was an invisible pressure, making everyone, especially the Li Xiaowei sisters in the bread truck, feel a suffocating despair.

Before Chen Shou could speak, Lin Wei seemed to have thought of something and added:

"Captain Chen, you can sense something from Su Ye..."

That eerie aura? Perhaps we can pinpoint its location?

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Chen Shou seemed to hesitate before answering in a deep voice:

"I...can't sense it."

He further explained that his words were particularly clear amidst the engine noise:

"What I sense is the presence of eerie entities, and their relative distance from us."

Su Ye…

Chen Shou carefully considered his words:

"His aura is very special; it's a mixture of eerie energy and life force."

Even when he was right next to me, I could only feel that eerie aura clinging to him or growing on him, but it was still different from the pure 'existence' of the eerie origin.

More importantly…

He paused for a moment, as if confirming the boundaries of his perception:

My perception requires the "existence of a target".

The eerie are themselves strong sources of presence.

But for Su Ye, or rather, for any target that is not purely bizarre but carries a strange aura...

Once it leaves my line of sight, it will lose its signal source and I will be unable to pinpoint its location accurately.

His meaning was clear: Su Ye is a human, not a monster.

Once he disappears from sight, Chen Shou's sequence ability can no longer lock onto him like he can with his perception of the strange.

This answer plunged the channel into another brief silence, meaning that they could not use Chen Shou's abilities to find out Su Ye's current life, death, or location.

A few seconds later, Chen Shou's voice rang out, this time devoid of any emotional fluctuations, only cold decisiveness:

"Maintain the current formation and speed, and keep moving forward."

Li Xiaowei, keep control of the vehicle and stay close to the car in front.

Repeat, without slowing down, without turning back.

The command is concise and brutal.

He didn't even offer any comment or prayer for Su Ye's situation, because it would be pointless.
