The bird with multicolored tail feathers landed on Chu Che's shoulder and shook off the rainwater.
The water splashed all over Chu Che's face.
The surrounding survivors were sowhat stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Chu Che was also a bit slow to react.
But just at that mont, the bird suddenly screeched sharply at Chu Che, "Dumbass, dumbass, letter, letter!"
Only then did Chu Che react, noticing a small plastic film package tied to the bird's leg containing a tiny paper scroll.
This was actually "ssage delivery by flying bird."
He never expected to see such an ancient thod of communication.
What was written in this letter?
Who sent it to him?
For a mont, countless questions swirled in his mind.
Chu Che untied the plastic bag.
The bird with multicolored tail feathers flapped its wings frantically in the rain, still cursing, "Dumbass, dumbass!"
Chu Che's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
After only a quick glance, Chu Che stuffed the plastic-wrapped letter into his chest pocket and shouted loudly at the curious stares around him:
"Hurry up, pick up the pace, we don't have much ti!"
"Quick! Quick! Quick!"
The convoy quickly packed up, and under Xue Nan's shouts, they began to slowly leave the place they had stayed overnight.
As for where they were going.
No one knew.
To survive in the apocalypse, it wasn't enough to just be vigilant against attacks from anomalies.
This kind of extre weather was also a major threat.
This was a dense forest, with the road stretching into the distance as far as the eye could see.
Due to long-term lack of maintenance and no traffic.
The road conditions were already very poor.
Many sections of the ground had subsided or collapsed.
So ground had spiderweb-like cracks, with small grass growing in the fissures.
So places were even completely covered by wild grass and shrubs.
Despite this, the convoy's speed was still not slow.
They maintained at least fifty kiloters per hour as they raced forward.
You have to understand, this wasn't a highway, not even comparable to the conditions of a regular road.
Chen Ye could hear the sound of shrubs scraping against the bottom of the car.
The trees on both sides were rapidly receding.
The light rain fell on the car roof, making a faint pattering sound.
Chen Ye noticed that this light rain seed heavier than before, at least judging by the sound of raindrops hitting the car roof.
Behind Chen Ye's car was Sun Xixi's driverless vehicle.
This car was stubbornly clinging to Chen Ye's rear bumper.
Vaguely, from the central rearview mirror, he could see just the very top of a head appearing in the driver's seat of the off-road vehicle behind.
Chen Ye couldn't figure it out, this little girl was so tiny, even sitting up straight in the driver's seat, her eyes wouldn't be visible.
How on earth was she driving the car?
Also, the person sitting next to her didn't seem worried at all. Chen Ye often saw the pink-haired girl dozing off in the passenger seat.
Behind them was the panel van.
The driver was Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Today, this woman had gotten up early to practice boxing and only returned when soone called her.
Zhou Xiaoxiao stared intently at the car ahead, her focus razor-sharp.
No choice, with the current road conditions, a mont's distraction could easily lead to an accident.
At the very back was Iron Lion's school bus.
Although this vehicle wasn't a Wonder.
It carried the most people, even having dedicated vehicle managers and maintenance personnel.
Therefore, this vehicle's condition was considered quite good.
Bald Old Li was driving personally.
Following closely at the tail.
Bald Old Li would nervously glance at the central rearview mirror from ti to ti, from which he could see Iron Lion's condition.
All he prayed for now was that Iron Lion would wake up soon.
At the sa ti, he complained inwardly that every ti in situations like this, their own Superhuman always ended up badly beaten.
Whereas that bastard called Chen Ye didn't have a single injury.
It was like this back in Divine Elephant Village, and now in Xining Town, it was the sa.
The atmosphere in the convoy was sowhat oppressive.
Before, maybe so people didn't take it seriously, but now, no one thought that way anymore.
If they hadn't encountered major trouble, Captain Chu wouldn't be in such a hurry.
"Zzz... everyone, please keep up with my speed, don't fall behind!"
"I repeat, don't fall behind! Don't fall behind!"
Chu Che's voice ca through the walkie-talkie.
Chu Che had been using his ability to sense the presence of anomalies while also monitoring weather changes for the next twenty-four hours.
In his perception, the weather for the next twenty-four hours showed no change.
Exactly the sa as what he sensed earlier.
No bad news was good news.
This did put Chu Che's mind slightly at ease.
As long as they escaped this area, he figured the weather would definitely change.
Then everyone would be safe.
As if realizing the convoy's atmosphere was a bit too tense.
Chu Che's voice ca through the walkie-talkie again.
"Everyone, did you see that bird just now?"
Chen Ye didn't expect Chu Che to bring this up now.
But he also realized the situation might not be that bad, otherwise Chu Che wouldn't be talking about other things at a ti like this.
"ssage delivery by flying bird?"
Chen Ye had seen Chu Che personally take sothing from that bird's leg.
"Such an ancient term!"
The pink-haired girl's voice sounded over the walkie-talkie.
"Squad Leader Chu, is there good news?"
This was Ding Dong's mature female voice.
"Not exactly good news. Chen Yonggu ntioned the Return to the City plan before."
"On the first day of the first lunar month in 2032, the Return to the City plan begins, inviting us to participate!"
"That ans on Chinese New Year's Day, they're going to fight their way back."
As soon as they heard it was this kind of news, the walkie-talkie imdiately beca lively.
"Wait, Squad Leader Chu, how did that bird find you? Is this news real or fake? Could it be a trap set by anomalies specifically to lure humans?"
"It's the apocalypse now. Ordinary birds probably can't get through the layers of anomaly blockades to find you, right?"
Alright, Chen Ye was being overly cautious, doubting everything first before anything else.
"Squad Leader Chu, have you made contact with the people from the Return to the City plan?"
This was the pink-haired girl's voice, full of curiosity.
As for Ding Dong, she chose to remain silent.
"Not exactly. That bird was probably specially bred by the Breeder Sequence for ssage delivery."
"There's no signal now, this is the only thod!"
"But this news should be real."
"I didn't sense any anomaly presence!"
For a mont, the walkie-talkie was very lively.
The convoy kept driving forward.
But far behind the convoy.
A massive section of mountainside slid down with the mudflow, completely burying the road beneath mud and water.
For so unknown reason, the disaster had arrived faster than expected.
