Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse
Chapter 378: The First Choice When Facing Danger
"Waiting like this isn't a solution, Squad Leader Chu, we need to get out of here!"
The Pink-haired Girl stared fixedly at the motionless Cha Wu.
The fluctuating, eerie aura emanating from this person gave her a hair-raising, chilling feeling.
In just a single instant, the Pink-haired Girl felt that this being, who had been human mere seconds ago, had now become completely unrecognizable.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down the Pink-haired Girl's temple.
Anything that could make even her feel fear was absolutely not something the convoy's current manpower could handle.
If the Pink-haired Girl could feel it, Chen Ye felt even more chilled to the bone.
The cigarette at the corner of his mouth had been lit at some unknown point.
Smoke Breath swirled around his body.
He was ready to activate his ability at any moment.
At this moment, the cold sweat on Chu Che and Auntie Zhao's temples was even more pronounced than the Pink-haired Girl's.
In their perception, it wasn't just outside the city; even within Oasis City itself, there were countless eerie auras. Moreover, just sensing some of these auras alone filled one with despair.
Chu Che swallowed hard: "We can't retreat now!"
The Pink-haired Girl's voice was somewhat dry: "Squad Leader Chu..."
Chen Ye, crouching low, his right hand gripping the hilt of Hatred, also swallowed before saying: "Right now... we can't leave!"
Although Iron Lion was puzzled by why Chen Ye and Chu Che would say this, this guy still obediently followed Chu Che and Chen Ye's decision.
As for Auntie Zhao and her family, their current state wasn't much better than Chen Ye's group.
The three of them protectively surrounded Auntie Zhao in the middle.
No one dared to move at this moment.
Although the Pink-haired Girl and Ding Dong didn't understand why they weren't leaving now, they still abided by Chu Che and Chen Ye's decision.
As for Auntie Zhao's side.
Auntie Zhao swallowed nervously; she also didn't quite understand why they weren't leaving.
She wanted to open her mouth and ask, but she was afraid of startling the monster before them.
But right at this moment.
"BOOM..."
A tremendous roar sounded.
The place where Cha Wu had been standing instantly collapsed.
That three-story courtyard house, the largest and tallest in all of Oasis City, instantly billowed with thick, intense dust clouds.
It was as if a massive force had exploded it from the inside out.
Countless tiles and bricks scattered and flew in all directions.
Pattering down noisily on the roof where Chen Ye and the others were.
Chen Ye formed a thin mist protective shield in front of him, shielding Sun Qianqian and himself within it.
This kind of thin mist shield had limited defensive capabilities, but it could still block flying bricks and tiles.
A blood-red human figure with a trailing tail shot up from the ground into the sky, its entire body burning with blood-like flames.
It was Ding Shen!
At this moment, Ding Shen's body was covered in black armor, even the faceplate was entirely black, with only a narrow slit at the eye position.
The current Ding Shen was vastly different from the Ding Shen at the No-Rules Race venue two days ago.
Judging by his aura, Deputy City Lord Ding was now countless times stronger than he was at the No-Rules Race that day.
Ding Shen held a zhanmadao in his hand.
The blade of this zhanmadao was nearly three meters long, wrapped in fresh red, viscous blood that seemed alive, flowing and swirling along the blade.
Chen Ye's pupils contracted sharply...
He sensed an extremely intense blood moon aura from Ding Shen.
"All Superhumans of Oasis City, follow me to slay the Anomalies! Anyone who disobeys will be executed on the spot!!!"
"Superhumans... this is the Oasis!"
"If we can't even defend this place, where else do you think you can go?"
But the moment these words were spoken.
Chen Ye and the others saw a familiar, massive spherical creature cackling eerily as it climbed onto a rooftop.
When they saw this enormous spherical creature, Chen Ye and the others collectively sucked in a sharp, cold breath.
This was the "Tangled Crowd" recorded by Chu Che in the captain's notebook.
They had encountered it back in Xining.
And now, this... this... Anomaly looked even more massive than before.
The crowd of people tangled together seemed bound by some kind of eerie power.
Chen Ye could even see some familiar faces among them.
A young man's voice: "That's right, you humans, where else can you go besides here?"
A young girl's voice: "Stay, become a part of me!"
An elderly voice: "Stay..."
Each sentence was spoken in a different accent, making one's scalp tingle.
A child's voice: "Ding Shen, how about becoming a part of me?"
The young girl's voice: "You have no way out, they're all coming, all coming!"
A teenage boy's voice: "So many, you will all die, all die..."
After saying these things, the Tangled Crowd rolled and surged towards Ding Shen, some faces showing terrified expressions.
These people were still struggling desperately, as if trying to break free from the tangle of bodies.
A large portion of them, however, wore expressions of greed and anticipation.
Their eyes collectively fixed on Ding Shen.
Ding Shen gritted his teeth: "Bullshit! Even if I die, I'd never become part of you."
Having said that, Ding Shen raised the long blade in his hand, and his entire body began to burn with blood-colored flames.
The blood moon in the sky appeared increasingly crimson.
Red like a bloodstain smeared across the heavens.
"Do not resist, Ding Shen. Become part of us, and you will become even stronger."
Right then, Ding Shen, dragging his massive zhanmadao, charged straight at the Tangled Crowd.
Simultaneously, tremendous noises erupted from other parts of the city.
Some were roars of unwillingness, some were screams on the brink of death.
There were even some indescribable, eerie howls.
A massive figure barreled straight down the long street.
From his physique, one could tell this was the capable assistant of Deputy City Lord Ding, that Flesh Titan named Xiong Ba.
But he had no time to pay attention to Chen Ye and the others now.
This guy's arms were covered in eyes. He held an expressionless ordinary person in each hand as he charged towards some residential houses.
All the eyes on his arms glowed with a white light, as if surrounded by an invisible force field.
But the two people being held wore indifferent expressions, staring eerily at Xiong Ba and chuckling coldly.
Not only that.
Chen Ye and Chu Che saw a figure fly past in the sky.
A Superhuman with wings soared into the air, seemingly planning to escape.
This one was probably of the Beastman Sequence...
They had seen him during the No-Rules Race.
This guy, relying on his wings, had been directly eliminated by Chu Che.
In the neighboring courtyard, two gray figures let out eerie laughter and charged upwards.
Chen Ye and Chu Che exchanged a look.
"Go!"
The moment this word left their mouths.
The entire Fair Convoy instantly sprang into action.
Now everyone understood why Chu Che and Chen Ye had wanted to wait a moment.
Turns out these two crafty bastards were planning to fish in troubled waters.
They were using the others as the gecko's tail.
Using these people to attract the Anomalies' attention, while they themselves took the opportunity to slip away.
A thought flashed through Sun Xixi's mind: "It really has to be you two crafty bastards!"
Auntie Zhao also understood now.
She immediately followed the Fair Convoy members to leave.
Lin Qingge, Little Bug, and the Mohawk teenager quickly followed suit.
Chu Che and Chen Ye had a deep tacit understanding on one matter.
Head-on confrontation was the choice made only when escape was impossible.
Because of their influence, Sun Xixi and Ding Dong had also developed this awareness.
This was also the main reason why the Fair Convoy had managed to avoid significant casualties up to this point.
Of course, Iron Lion was the exception...
No matter the situation, this guy's first thought was always "Fight!"
Whether he could win or not was a separate question.
Fortunately, with the supervision of Chen Ye and the others, this guy was currently faring better compared to others of the same sequence.
What everyone needed to do now was to go to the Outer City District, find the other members of the convoy, and then leave this place.
Chu Che had already instructed Xue Nan to make preparations earlier.
If everything went smoothly, leaving here wouldn't be a problem.
