Chapter 302 The Awakening of Insects Caravan
Tashan's enormous body slowly shrank back to a normal human size, and its six tentacles melted away as they retracted into its body.
He grinned at the man in the trench coat, revealing a set of white teeth: "Don't mention it, it's nothing!"
His smile, coupled with his earlier "fierce" demeanor, caused the people in the opposite convoy to instinctively take a half-step back.
The man in the trench coat's expression stiffened, but he still managed a polite nod of thanks.
Fu Xiaojian had already gotten out of the car and walked forward.
He adopted his usual team leader expression, neither overly enthusiastic nor aloof.
His gaze calmly swept over the five people on the other side, who were the five extraordinary individuals in the convoy—three men and two women.
Except for the man in the trench coat and the short-haired girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen and was holding a large umbrella, who remained relatively calm.
The other three looked shaken, their clothes still covered in undried black mud, emitting a faint sour smell.
The two relatively younger people among the three, a man and a woman, were in the same SUV and were probably boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife.
The last person was a gaunt old man.
If it weren't for him protecting those ordinary people on the bus, probably none of them would have survived.
"Jiao Jiao, give them a purification!" Fu Xiaojian said to Jiao Jiao, who was observing the situation from the side.
"Oh!" Jiao Jiao also applied a purification effect to those cars.
The main problem is that if it's not purified, you simply can't get close to it. You can't exactly chat in a stench!
"The Salary Train Team, Fu Xiaojian." Fu Xiaojian's words were concise and to the point.
"You're the No. 002 team?" Before the man in the trench coat could speak, the girl holding the large umbrella exclaimed in shock.
"Hehe, did you guys hear the midday communication too? It was this kid who relayed it!"
Jiao Jiao pulled Xiao Luo over to let him show his face.
"Jingzhe convoy, Lin Zhennan, thank you for saving us just now!" the man in the trench coat said.
Xu Si noticed that, it seemed that after the rankings went up, everyone would deliberately ignore this detail when introducing themselves.
Unlike before, when everyone was in Sequence 1, they were very open and honest, which was perhaps the fastest way to gain trust.
Unlike now, when we're on guard at every turn.
However, Xu Si knew that Lin Zhennan should be a melee-type character, similar to Wu Yue.
Of that couple, the woman should be in the leader category, because Xu Si had never seen her take action.
The male is also a combat-type character, but he is not as strong as Lin Zhennan.
The old man was using a single-headed crutch, and it was a Sequence 3 crutch.
Xu Si felt that his strength was somewhat greater than Lin Zhennan's, but that was not necessarily true.
There are just too many different sequences and all sorts of strange and wonderful characteristics.
As for the girl carrying a large umbrella, Xu Si didn't notice much.
Because she was mostly hidden under the large umbrella, even Xu Si's Star Eyes and Star Pulse couldn't detect her.
It should be a relatively high-ranking artifact, at least on par with his Cloak of Concealment.
Xu Si naturally informed Fu Xiaojian of these circumstances through Xiao Luo, which helped him maintain a proper balance in the conversation.
With just a simple exchange, the two teams began a lengthy observation.
Lin Zhennan and the others' gazes shifted between Fu Xiaojian, Tashan, Jiao Jiao, and the various Transcendent beings who had revealed their forms.
How can one describe the turmoil in their hearts?
Is it paling in comparison? Or is it worlds apart?
"My name is Hinata Aoi, what's your name?" Xu Si was stopped by the girl carrying a large umbrella when he floated back to Nirvana.
Xu Si was taken aback, not understanding why.
Nearby, Jiao Jiao's sixth sense acted on its own, clearly sensing something.
Luo, who was closest to him, was extremely uncomfortable because his hair had been completely disheveled.
He also seemed to hear the inner thoughts of a little tiger.
"Just say it when I tell you to? Can't you open your eyes? Men are all scumbags!"
"Brother Xu, my name is Jin Shuting. Thank you so much for saving us!"
The one speaking was the woman in her early thirties, a pretty woman, from the "couple".
Apart from Jiao Jiao, no one noticed that this woman had actually distanced herself from the man beside her.
"Red-haired young man, I am Pei Xiu, and this is Zhou Jun. Thank you for saving our convoy, and thank you to this brother for helping us get the car out!" The speaker was the harmless-looking old man.
Xu Si nodded to the old man, indicating that he didn't talk much, and returned to the roof of the Nirvana vehicle.
A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Jin Shuting's face.
Then, surprisingly, he walked familiarly toward the caravan of salary workers and selectively struck up conversations with the ordinary people there.
With her beautiful figure and gentle words, everyone was willing to say a few words.
However, everyone is intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the core issue.
The fierce look in Lin Zhennan's and Zhou Jun's eyes immediately turned more serious.
Pei Xiu watched with great interest.
Hinata Aoi, however, remained indifferent, silently uttering Xu Si's name.
"Let's talk over here! I happen to be quite interested in your itinerary!" He didn't pay attention to Jin Shuting's actions.
Fu Xiaojian generously led Lin Zhennan toward the stone table and chairs beside them, as it was better for the meeting to be more formal.
At this point, the two teams presented completely different scenes.
Xu Si, who was lying on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle, was the most moved.
One side of the Jingzhe convoy was lifeless, while the other side of the Xinhuo convoy, just like its name, was full of energy, with conversations and laughter rising and falling.
Silence seemed to be the biggest dividing line between the two teams.
The blood-red sun had not yet disappeared below the horizon, but the campfire was already crackling, illuminating Lin Zhennan's slightly stiff face.
Fu Xiaojian sat opposite him and handed him a cup of hot water in a can.
Judging from the condition of their convoy, it doesn't seem like they have a lot of supplies.
"We come from the hilly area."
Lin Zhennan took the hot water, but didn't drink it. He just covered his face with his hands, as if trying to absorb that meager warmth.
Faced with this behemoth of a convoy, he had absolutely no confidence.
"Surviving in the apocalypse is just too hard..." He didn't finish his sentence, his gaze sweeping over the few people in his convoy, weariness etched in his eyes.
If Xu Si hadn't intervened today, this place might have been their burial ground, perhaps with not even bones left.
"How did you get attacked by such a strange force here?" Fu Xiaojian continued.
"We originally came here to rest, but who knew that the edge of the road was a mud pit. The bus got stuck immediately, and we couldn't do anything about it as it sank deeper and deeper."
"Perhaps we stayed too long and the eerie creatures smelled us, so they surrounded and attacked us! Now we can't leave even if we want to!" Lin Zhennan didn't hide anything.
In fact, he had already resigned himself to death today.
I never expected to survive.
He also encountered the team ranked 002, which completely shook the last vestige of his obsession.
