DipNovel Chapter 114 An Unusual Caravan
Chapter 114 An Unusual Caravan
The bonfire in the middle of the fourth floor flickered continuously.
The campfire crackled and popped intermittently.
The group stood on the edge of the fourth floor, watching the convoy slowly approaching in the distance.
The distance was quite far, and the sky was dim, so it was difficult to see the convoy clearly for a while.
However, the convoy was indeed moving rather slowly.
It looked like an old oxcart moving slowly.
The group initially thought the convoy's headlights were flickering because of the rough road conditions, but now it's clear that's not the case!
"Isn't this convoy moving a bit too slowly?" Zhao Hai couldn't help but say.
"Hmm...it is a bit slow!"
The old man responded to Zhao Hai's words, "It's too far away; we can only see the lights!"
"Perhaps this caravan wasn't using vehicles for their migration; it could have been horse-drawn carriages or some other mode of transport!"
"Finding fuel in the apocalypse isn't so easy!"
"We've encountered situations where our cars ran out of gas before! So, it's not impossible for some people to find alternative solutions!" Hsu Wen-chu explained.
Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, agreeing that Xu Wenzhu's words made sense.
Then, the group waited patiently.
After quite some time, the crowd finally got a clear look at the convoy.
This convoy...
Very different!
As time went on, the convoy got closer and closer to the unfinished building that everyone was building.
Therefore, when everyone saw the convoy clearly, they were all somewhat... astonished and surprised.
This caravan is huge, even 1.5 times larger than the Star Train caravan!
Judging from the positions of Zhao Hai and the others, this is a convoy.
The convoy stretched for almost a hundred meters.
And, most importantly... there are a lot of animals in this caravan.
The animals here are not just poultry like chickens and ducks.
This caravan has many cattle, horses, and sheep.
There were also many hunting dogs running around the front and back of the convoy, barking occasionally, making it look somewhat like a flock of sheep being herded.
You can even tell from these rhythmic barks that they are carefully trained.
At the very front of the convoy were a bus, a coach, and a school bus.
Moreover, these three vehicles are very different from the ones Zhao Hai and his group used during their migration.
In front of each of the three buses, there was a very strong giant ox pulling it.
Each of these giant bulls was at least three or four meters tall, not to mention their length and width.
Thick iron chains connect the three cows to the three buses.
With each step the giant bull took, the iron chains on its body swayed and made a crisp sound.
The thick horns swayed as the bull's head moved.
The sharp points on the bull's horns exuded a sharpness comparable to that of cold weapons.
The thickness of these bull horns is comparable to that of battering rams used on ancient battlefields.
What made their pupils shrink even more were the horns of the three giant bulls.
Each of the giant bulls had a ragged person tied to its horn.
These people are oblivious to their own mortality; they look utterly miserable.
The wounds covered his entire body, and in many places the bone was exposed.
The blood stained his entire body crimson, and perhaps because of the long time that had passed, the dried blood appeared a murky black under the firelight.
The giant bulls didn't seem to care much about the person tied to their horns.
It seems they've long been accustomed to this behavior.
The giant bull didn't even seem to care much about the chains binding it, and would occasionally nibble on some wild grass by the roadside.
The three giant bulls strolled leisurely towards the unfinished building.
With each step, the muscles on these giant bulls trembled slightly, displaying their immense power.
The ordinary survivors in the unfinished building were also discussing this scene.
"No way! What kind of convoy is this? It feels even scarier than the convoy I used to work with the Yu family!" one of the older men said, somewhat fearfully.
"Now that you mention it, it's true. What decent person would hang someone on a bull's horn? This caravan's extraordinary formation shows they don't treat ordinary people like human beings!" A woman said, trembling slightly, clearly frightened by what she had just witnessed.
"Ah! You're absolutely right. It seems that our Starship fleet is truly exceptionally merciful!" a young man remarked.
……
Behind the three giant bulls, the three large carts connected by iron chains were also somewhat different.
Torches were lit at the four corners of the three vehicles.
By the flickering light of the torches, it could be seen that there were quite a few survivors in the three vehicles.
The first one was a bus, which looked extremely luxurious from the outside, and its body was painted with unknown totems.
The interior of the car was also brightly lit.
Clearly, this car has undergone a considerable degree of modification.
Through the open car window, you can see that the interior of this vehicle has a bed, a sofa, and even a TV. If you didn't know better, you would think it was a motorhome!
Even from this distance, people inside the unfinished building could hear the music coming from this car.
"Boom boom boom..."
It has a great sense of rhythm.
In the very center of the car, there was a huge table.
There were many leftover bowls and plates on the table, and even some wine bottles scattered around.
The scantily clad women were clearly drunk; gripping the railing, they twisted and turned, kicking dishes off the table one after another.
Several people around the table also danced along with the woman on the table.
These people were clearly drunk, and each of them had a dissolute look on their faces.
They must have just searched a pretty good spot, and the supplies in the vehicle have been greatly replenished.
Moreover, the people on the bus also noticed the situation at the unfinished building, but they didn't pay any attention to it, only glancing at the unfinished building with somewhat drunken eyes.
This car is practically a living, breathing picture of a post-apocalyptic, decadent lifestyle!
Everyone on the bus seemed to be indulging in as much debauchery as possible...
Compared to Starship Troopers, the styles of the two teams are worlds apart!
Compared to the bright lights and revelry of the first car, the situation of the other cars looked more like the apocalypse.
The people in those two cars all had sallow, withered faces, and some even looked numb.
They sat blankly in their seats, looking out the window. Clearly, they had also seen the lights from the unfinished building!
His wooden expression changed slightly as he began to whisper among himself.
Even so, whispering was still limited.
At the front of the bus, the driver's cab had been removed, and two men holding reins stared intently at the unfinished building.
