In an instant, the entire convoy plunged into darkness.
Lai Baiwei stared around with terrified, wide eyes.
Her legs were still shaking from what had just happened.
She had almost died.
Even in the apocalypse, she had never felt so close to death.
She slowly edged closer to Chen Ye’s vehicle.
Just now, she had nearly been killed.
When the earth swallowed her body, she felt what it ant to call to heaven and earth and get no answer.
It was a despair that sank into the bone.
If not for Chen Ye...
At this mont, Lai Baiwei didn’t even trust her cousin Xu Lina anymore.
She trusted Chen Ye.
She trusted the man who had pulled her out of hell.
Although Chen Ye had his own selfish plan then.
If they couldn’t get rid of those things, Lai Baiwei would be the next tail.
Still, Lai Baiwei trusted Chen Ye.
Even though Chen Ye was unreliable.
Xu Lina, on the other hand, remained very calm.
She didn’t feel guilty at all about her cousin just now being in danger.
Just a corpse.
In the apocalypse, people die every day.
When Lai Baiwei wanted to cling to Chen Ye, Xu Lina didn’t even glance at her.
If Chen Ye were so easy to cozy up to, why would she and Chen Ye still have nothing between them?
As the two words “turn off the lights” slipped out,
Xu Lina snapped the headlights of Bus Number Seven off.
Chen Ye’s Monster Pickup Truck was no exception.
All the lights went out in an instant.
Darkness fell before everyone’s eyes.
Lai Baiwei, afraid she might scream, pressed her hands hard over her mouth, her delicate face slightly distorted, watching the surroundings with panic in her eyes.
Those pretty big eyes were full of alarm, fear, and other negative emotions.
Many others were the sa.
Those afraid of making a sound all clamped their hands over their mouths.
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
Even the dumbest person wouldn’t dare disobey the pathfinder’s order now.
The mont the lights went out,
an energy centered on Chu Che swept rapidly through every corner of the convoy.
The sweep of this energy was astonishingly fast.
In the split second between lights-out and the energy sweep, the anomalies around them stirred.
Lai Baiwei saw those anomalies as if trying to rush forward.
But after the energy washed over their bodies,
the anomalous silhouettes stopped in their tracks.
They looked around in confusion.
It was like a delicious target that had suddenly vanished.
They were clearly in front of them, but these creatures behaved as if they could not see them.
As if the living people before them belonged to another space.
Or... in their eyes, the living had already beco their kind.
This...
This is the power of a Superhuman!
So strong!
Even stronger than Captain Li!
Captain Li was the leader of the Doomsday Convoy.
Lai Baiwei had seen Captain Li use his ability more than once.
But he did not possess this sort of power.
Lai Baiwei glanced at Chen Ye sitting motionless in his vehicle, then looked toward the off-road vehicle in front.
After thinking for a mont, Lai Baiwei moved toward Chu Che.
This woman now clearly understood that her cousin could not be relied upon for what had just happened.
Before, she had moved closer to Chen Ye mainly because she had no better choice.
But now... this squad leader... seed...
A mont ago, Lai Baiwei still thought Chen Ye could be trusted.
Now, Lai Baiwei felt Captain Chu seed more formidable.
Back when Lai Baiwei was with the Doomsday Convoy and people like Cheng Hai were around, even if she had certain thoughts, she had to suppress them.
But in this convoy, the atmosphere seed better.
For a mont, many sches blossod in this clever woman’s mind.
Chen Ye didn’t speak, nor did he light a cigarette.
He had noticed that after Chu Che used that ability, the anomalies around them had clearly changed.
Under the faint daylight, Chen Ye could see the ragged silhouettes surging from the distance stop moving.
They stood there blankly, sotis shifting left, sotis right.
As if searching for sothing.
Captain Chu’s ability—seed pretty strong!
The convoy began to move forward again.
The sound of the engines apparently drew no attention.
“Thud!”
A light impact still made Chen Ye’s heart jump into his throat.
A ragged figure about one point seven ters tall had collided with the Monster Pickup Truck’s front hood.
The sound was not small.
Just when Chen Ye thought it was over,
the ragged figure turned and walked away.
As if the Monster Pickup Truck’s existence was perfectly normal to them.
This...
Chen Ye speculated about the precise effect of Captain Chu’s ability.
The ability should be masking the living aura of each person, making these things think this group were their own kind.
Not speaking must prevent the living aura from leaking.
If that were the case, then breathing would also cause the living aura to leak, wouldn’t it?
But...
Never mind, the principle didn’t matter—what mattered was whether they could survive...
The Monster Pickup Truck’s front tire ran over a raised grave mound and then fell with the vehicle’s forward motion.
It happened to press down on a ragged creature.
The pressed-down creature struggled to get up.
Then the rear wheel ran over it.
Only after the Monster Pickup Truck rolled past did that creature climb up, its face showing no trace of anger from being run over.
To it, this seed entirely normal.
All around were densely packed ragged anomalous silhouettes.
If soone looked from above, they would see that the area for several kiloters was packed with these ragged figures.
Earlier they had crowded inward like mad,
but now... they just stood there in a daze.
So on the outer ring had started to leave.
But the middle was still full of these terrifying things.
A convoy was desperately shuttling through the center.
To the anomalies around them, the convoy’s presence was ignored.
Lai Baiwei clamped her mouth shut so tightly that she was at the edge of panic.
Because at that mont...
a figure stitched together with needle and thread appeared less than ten centiters from her.
This anomaly’s body was clearly sewn from patchwork; its head was made of three different skins.
The crowded scene reminded Lai Baiwei of the bustling streets before the apocalypse.
Humans and anomalies pressed together.
You were among , I was among you.
To call it shoulder to shoulder was not an exaggeration.
Only, the ones rubbing against you were not alive.
Not just Lai Baiwei—others were the sa.
Because of the road conditions, many people were not in vehicles; they walked within the group.
So...
after the lights went out, the anomalies and people were mixed together.
“Ah~~~”
A scream yanked everyone’s hearts up into their throats.
