Chu Che's face was extrely grim at the mont.
The intensity of the sandstorm outside the vehicle had exceeded his expectations.
This was his first ti encountering such a natural disaster, and the initial panic had caused him to make the wrong decision.
Fortunately, he quickly regained his composure.
However, Captain Chu's expression still hadn't eased in the slightest.
From his perception, an eerie presence was approaching.
It was likely that the chaotic actions earlier had attracted the attention of an Anomaly.
Even after the sandstorm ended, the convoy would still be in danger.
Under normal circumstances, Anomalies couldn't operate under sunlight.
This was the consensus among all survivors; otherwise, humanity would have perished long ago.
But... now it seed this common knowledge might be wrong.
As a Pathfinder, Chu Che had even detected Anomaly activity during dayti on more than one occasion.
Like that ti at the Car Crash Site.
Chu Che had a speculation - perhaps Anomalies, like Sequence Superpowers, could also grow stronger.
At the ti, Chu Che was startled by his own speculation.
It wasn't that this possibility was too far-fetched.
But rather that this speculation was too terrifying.
That's why Chu Che always deliberately blurred out this possibility.
Perhaps one day, all Anomalies would no longer fear sunlight.
That would truly be humanity's doomsday.
Captain Chu turned to look at the raging sandstorm outside the window.
With Iron Lion, Nana, and Chen Ye here.
The sandstorm wasn't too troubleso; they could definitely withstand it.
At most, they'd lose so supplies, and a few ordinary people would be swept away by the sandstorm.
These weren't important.
What mattered was the trouble that would follow.
In Captain Chu's perception, the Anomaly's presence was getting closer and closer.
After the sandstorm passed, the convoy definitely couldn't continue driving.
It seed...
A direct confrontation with the Anomaly was imminent.
Anomalies were invincible.
Was the convoy's doomsday right before their eyes?
...
The violent sandstorm almost covered the entire world.
Chen Ye kept his eyes and mouth tightly shut, only using his perception to sense the surrounding environnt.
The sand hitting his body caused faint pain.
Every second felt like a year.
Fortunately, the machete was buried deep in the sandy ground, keeping the rope securely tied.
He didn't know how much ti had passed.
When Chen Ye felt his body going numb.
The sandstorm finally weakened a bit.
Just this slight weakening ignited a spark of hope in Chen Ye's heart.
When the sandstorm finally stopped.
Chen Ye had beco completely covered in sand.
Half of his body was already buried in the sand.
"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"
Chen Ye felt like his ears, nose, and even his mouth were full of sand.
With just a slight movent, sand flew everywhere around him.
"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"
"Damn it! Sandstorms, I've truly experienced one now."
Chen Ye used the willow branch's power to drag himself out of the sand.
At this mont, Iron Lion was buried in the sand up to his neck.
Only his massive head remained visible outside.
If Chen Ye weren't familiar with Iron Lion, he would never have recognized this sand-covered sphere as a person.
A pair of large hands like palm-leaf fans erged from the ground, laboriously digging through the sand in front.
Iron Lion was trying to pull himself out of the sand.
"Yezi, too!"
A young woman's dissatisfied voice ca from nearby.
Chen Ye turned his head and saw a head of pink hair on the sandy ground, but nothing else was visible.
This young woman actually... was completely buried in the sand.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have died long ago.
Fortunately, this young woman had Sequence Superpowers, and was Series 2 at that - her vitality was truly astonishing.
"Hahahaha..."
People often feel less unfortunate when they see soone more unfortunate than themselves during tough tis.
Before Chen Ye could even light a cigarette, he laughed heartily and went to dig out the young woman's head first.
The young woman looked at Chen Ye with an angry expression.
"Chen Ye, you bastard, still laughing?"
"Hahaha... Sorry, sorry, I really couldn't help it!!"
Chen Ye quickly apologized - this woman was Series 2, and if he really angered her, it probably wouldn't end well.
It wasn't that the young woman couldn't get out herself.
It was just that during the fight against the sandstorm, she had consud so supernatural power. Although it wasn't completely exhausted.
She was still sowhat tired.
Chen Ye dug out the young woman's arms, and Iron Lion, that big fool, directly grabbed her arms and lifted her up.
Iron Lion had now returned to his original size, though he looked sowhat haggard.
Other survivors were also gradually climbing out of their vehicles.
The first thing these people did after climbing out was spit out sand.
The vehicles on the outermost periter were already more than half buried by the sandstorm, but fortunately the people were unhard.
To leave, they needed to dig out these vehicles first.
Moreover, with such a sandstorm, there was no telling how many vehicles might have developed minor issues.
As for supplies, they had lost quite a bit.
For example, many roof racks on the vehicles had co loose, and the tied-down supplies had disappeared to who knows where.
Even Chen Ye's pickup truck hadn't fared well.
The vehicle canopy had vanished without a trace.
Fortunately, most of Chen Ye's supplies were stored in the truck bed.
The food was placed on the back seat of the cabin.
Except for the left, right, and front windows being shattered, the food was still there.
Of course, Chen Ye's pickup wasn't the only one with shattered windows.
The yellow school bus's windows were almost completely shattered, with only a few barely usable ones remaining.
Iron Lion's yellow school bus was the tallest and had suffered the most severe sandstorm damage.
Chen Ye lit a cigarette and sat on a nearby sand dune, feeling the rich aroma circulating between his mouth and nose, dispelling his physical fatigue and tension.
Looking around, everything appeared desolate.
Unfamiliar sand dunes, unfamiliar terrain.
The sandstorm had altered the landscape.
Chen Ye could no longer recognize the direction of their previous campsite.
"Chen Ye, Chen Ye, I'm glad you're okay, you scared to death!"
Xu Lina patted her chest with concern.
This woman wasn't in great condition either.
She was completely covered in dust, completely lacking her previous heartthrob appearance.
She even looked quite disheveled.
But even so, she ca to him imdiately after the sandstorm ended, worried about his safety.
Even soone like Chen Ye couldn't help but feel a flicker of emotion.
But it was just a flicker.
Chen Ye didn't believe this woman had fallen in love with him after just a few encounters.
Impossible.
When danger ca, Chen Ye would still use this woman as a shield, as a sacrificial pawn!
"I'm fine, how about you all? Did you lose much food and supplies?"
Iron Lion had the most supplies - if his supplies were severely damaged, the convoy would really be in trouble.
Xu Lina tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and was just about to speak.
"Chen Ye! I'll fuck your ancestors!"
A sharp, hatred-filled voice rang out.
Then they saw a petite figure charging over like a sharp sword.
Another dust-covered figure, but this person's eyes were filled with intense resentnt, even hatred.
Seeing those eyes, Chen Ye imdiately rembered who this person was.
Zhou Xiaoxiao.
He hadn't saved her sister, so this woman had developed hatred toward him.
Zhou Xiaoxiao wished she could kill Chen Ye right now.
She had personally watched her own sister get swallowed by the sandstorm.
She used to think her sister was nagging, timid, even sowhat weak, but when her sister disappeared before her eyes.
Zhou Xiaoxiao felt her heart bleeding.
In Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand was a fruit knife, sothing she had picked up while gathering supplies earlier.
All she wanted now was to plunge this knife into this man's heart to avenge her sister.
Chen Ye exhaled a puff of Smoke Breath, which coiled like a swimming dragon, binding the young woman's hands and feet.
This was the power of Sequence Superpowers.
Ordinary people stood no chance against Sequence Superpowers.
"Chen Ye, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
The young woman struggled, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at Chen Ye.
This woman had already marked Chen Ye as her enemy.
The conflict between the two instantly drew the attention of those around them, as all the dust-covered people turned to look.
When they saw Chen Ye subduing the young woman with just a puff of smoke.
Deep apprehension appeared in many people's eyes.
"You want to kill ? Why?"
"You killed my sister, you killed my sister, Zhou Lan!"
The young woman struggled, roared, her voice already hoarse.
Chen Ye frowned: "Have you gone crazy? When did you see kill your sister?"
"If it weren't for you, if you had stopped to save her, she wouldn't have died, she wouldn't have died!"
"Bullshit! If I had stopped to save her, I would be the dead one!!!"
"Zhou Xiaoxiao, are you stupid? Why should I save your sister? Why?"
"Because... my sister gave you gasoline when you needed it most!"
"Didn't you take it back? Zhou Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned by Chen Ye's words.
The young woman's tears stread down her cheeks, washing channels through the dust on her face, her lips already bitten until they bled.
Her delicate face was utterly disheveled.
But those eyes still glared bloodshot at Chen Ye.
The young woman needed an outlet for her vengeful emotions.
And the man before her was perfect for that...
Chen Ye's frown deepened.
Xu Lina stood nearby, at a loss for what to do.
Chu Che climbed out of the vehicle, his face pale, his body even trembling slightly.
"Be careful! There's... there's an Anomaly!"
Just as Chu Che uttered these words.
A terrifying human face suddenly erged beside Chen Ye.
It was an enormous, horrifying human face - just the face alone was as tall as a grown man.
The face opened its large mouth and bit toward Chen Ye.
Chen Ye felt all his hair stand on end.
It was too close.
And too sudden.
There was no way to avoid it.
Instinctively, Chen Ye reached out and grabbed Zhou Xiaoxiao's neck, lifting the woman to shield himself.
This future star that the entire entertainnt industry had been anticipating was now used by Chen Ye as a sacrificial pawn to shield himself.
