"That’s how it is, Brother Lin."
The young man named Luo Yang, who was quite outgoing, immediately said, "Our Chasing Sun Caravan camped in an industrial area in the suburbs last night. We were with another large caravan of over a hundred people. Their leader wanted to leave the city early because the city was filled with abnormal bodies and dawn was approaching, but before reaching the source, the entire caravan lost contact. When we set off here around nine o’clock, Uncle Wu and his people were on their way back fleeing. We met up with them and resisted together, and the insect tide disappeared when morning came."
"So, a group of us decided to unite and rush to the source at night. Captain Lin, we heard your firepower is strong, so a few of our caravans want to seek your protection to leave the city together."
"Are all of you taking the northwestern route?" Chen Sixuan asked in confusion, "Didn’t the Phoenix Society and various survivor radio stations already warn that the blizzard caused by the Extreme Cold Vortex here is severe? It’s hard for ordinary vehicles to get through, so why go this way?"
Although going east is also covered by the Extreme Cold Vortex, there are many survivors on that route, with numerous major cities along the way, and the transportation routes are relatively developed, offering more opportunities.
Some more cautious caravans directly choose to detour from the southern route passing through Star Abyss No. 7 unless they’re using track or rail vehicles; very few take the northern route anymore.
After exiting the source, you gradually enter the Palma Prairie area, with the northern railway line extending along the Yunjiang Mountain Range all the way to Xilan City.
Add to that, this insect tide also sounds quite troublesome.
"We’re not entering the prairie directly," explained Liao Ming. "We plan to detour around the west of the Yunjiang Mountain Range to Xilin City in the Chuyun River Plain, then join up with the Northwind Survivor Alliance and enter Xilan City together."
Lin Xian now understood their intentions. They wanted to locate the Phoenix Society, and after merging, head north to pursue the Dawn Center.
But that’s not what puzzled him. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"It seems like you were all waiting for me. How did you know I’d take this route?"
"Well..." Liao Ming hesitated awkwardly, "It was Hu Lushou who sold it to us."
"Sold?" Chen Sixuan frowned.
"Yes, he sold us this information for... one Blood Essence."
Lin Xian was immediately exasperated. That guy named Hu truly was a character, selling his route as intelligence and even charging a Blood Essence!
Damn, this guy sure doesn’t miss any chance to take advantage."
"Then why not wait until tomorrow during the day to head for the source?" Lin Xian asked plainly.
"Last night, the city erupted with a large number of abnormal bodies, wiping out several large caravans. No one dared to stay in Hengshan Pass tonight," said Liao Ming bluntly, spreading his hands. "We actually wanted to set off today during the day, but we used up most of our ammunition escaping last night. To be safe, we went to the Fu Lu Shou Team to buy more ammunition, and that’s how we found out you were taking the northern route out of the city."
"We discussed it, first to alert you about the danger, and second, if our caravans united, even if we couldn’t break through, we could camp and defend on the spot and set out at dawn."
Lin Xian scanned the scene; he could tell that the insect tide encountered by the Big Eagle Caravan was certainly no small matter. A caravan of over a hundred people barely escaped after using up so much ammunition and even lost combat power. Now both routes are blocked. The abnormal bodies erupting in the city during the night had a destructive impact. Even Lin Xian’s group had to flee hastily, not daring to gamble on whether more would erupt tonight.
So, these three caravans found themselves in a dilemma, and both Liao Ming and Hu Lushou knew of Lin Xian’s Infinity’s firepower, so after obtaining this information, the three caravans agreed to wait here for Lin Xian’s Infinity, hoping to leave the city together or at the very least, camp together for defense, increasing their survival chances.
Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan exchanged glances, their expressions now somewhat grave.
Checking the time, it was close to 18:00, less than an hour until nightfall.
Lin Xian pressed his earpiece and quietly said to Ding Junyi, "Director Ding, how are things?"
When they got off the vehicle just now, he had already initiated communication on the main channel, so people like Shu Qin in the carriage all heard what Wu Zhenhai, Liao Ming, Luo Yang, and Liang Lei talked about.
Ding Junyi stood in Carriage No. 3, observing the subtle changes of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum. Upon hearing Lin Xian’s message, she responded immediately,
"The darkness mark holds at Level 3; there are two possibilities: first, these three caravans have no marks, or second, their marks don’t exceed Level 3, or are on par with ours."
"I lean towards the second," Lin Xian said directly into the earpiece.
These three caravans had just undergone battle and escaped, so they would carry some degree of marks, not none at all.
However, if their marks did not exceed Level 3, theoretically, it would not impose a greater risk on them.
"What do you think, Lin Xian?"
Chen Sixuan swept her gaze over the group, turned slightly aside, and whispered to Lin Xian.
"Their concern has merit. Indeed, we cannot stay in the city tonight."
The mark lure level at Hengshan Pass Train Station definitely exceeded Level 3, posing extremely terrifying destructiveness. The entire station, including over a dozen caravans such as the Night Charm, met complete obliteration overnight, leaving not a single survivor. If it weren’t for Director Ding and the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, Infinity wouldn’t have escaped so easily either.
