Chapter 1643: Chapter 691: Encounter with Gale Convoy Again_2

Wang Tao took a closer look and noticed that the zombie tide in the distance didn’t have any Seventh Order Zombies, only one Sixth-Rank Zombie Lord, which could be considered a small tide.

Wang Tao was about to casually wipe it out, but suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

“Survivors!”

At the forefront of the zombie tide, five rusty modified cars were racing across the wasteland, blowing black smoke. Countless zombies chased behind, but they couldn’t catch up.

Faint laughter could be heard from inside the cars.

“To actually encounter survivors…”

Ever since the temperature spiked, Wang Tao rarely saw survivors outside. After all, it’s tough for humans to survive in these high temperatures, almost hitting the tens of degrees. Wang Tao once suspected that the whole of Qian Country has only the people from their three bases left.

Even if there are indeed survivor bases out there, they might be like the current New Red Maple Base, hiding in some not-so-hot place, too scared to venture out.

Encountering survivors under these conditions was completely unexpected for Wang Tao.

So Wang Tao didn’t rush to take action. He accelerated instantly, flying over the zombie tide, arriving directly above the SUVs.

Because Wang Tao was flying quite high and hadn’t activated too many Fire Elements, neither the zombies nor the survivors noticed someone above them.

Wang Tao carefully observed the survivors, suddenly furrowing his brow.

“Hmm?”

Originally, he thought that to escape from such a zombie tide, even laughing loudly without taking the zombies seriously, their strength must at least be Fifth and Sixth Rank Awakened, right? But to Wang Tao’s surprise, these people were only Fourth-order Awakeners in ability, and there was even a Level 3 Ability User among them!

With such limited strength, dare they be so arrogant?

Wang Tao had a bit of criticism in his heart, but he was also curious about these people. Given their strength, being able to survive in these high temperatures indeed means they have some tricks.

Watching the zombie herd get closer and about to catch up, while their SUVs had reached the limits and couldn’t accelerate anymore…Wang Tao was curious to see how these people would shake off the zombies.

Of course, if they couldn’t escape, Wang Tao wouldn’t stand by and watch them die.

Below, inside a modified SUV, a muscular man with a buzz cut emerged from a large sunroof, bare-chested.

He turned around, looking at the zombies surging like waves behind them, not just unhurried but laughing heartily.

“Brothers, take a look, isn’t this freakin’ spectacular!”

The other four cars also had four people sticking their upper bodies out from sunroofs, two men and two women. The men were shirtless, and the women wore tube tops. Their skin was a healthy wheat color, indicating they spent a lot of time outdoors.

“Must be over ten thousand zombies by now?”

“Absolutely!”

“Not only the zombies in large numbers but of high quality too! Look at that Sixth-Rank Zombie Lord, it’s almost going crazy! Ha, see it but can’t reach it, must be frustrating for zombies!”

“…”

As the zombies got closer to them, there was no panic, but instead laughter, clearly confident.

After a little more banter, the zombies were very close, probably one jump away from leaping onto the SUVs when the five vehicles suddenly accelerated.

Vroom—

The speed of the cars picked up drastically; flames shot out from the exhaust pipes, instantly widening the gap between them and the zombie herd.

“Awesome!”

“So awesome!”

“Thrilling!”

Seeing the zombie herd eating their dust again, the group burst into laughter. Clearly, this wasn’t their first rodeo.

In the sky, Wang Tao showed an expression of surprise.

If he sensed correctly, the engines of those five cars below had indeed reached their limits; the heavy armory on them made further acceleration impossible. The reason they could speed up again was that they had another power system on their cars! And within this system was a presence Wang Tao was very familiar with—Crystal Energy!

Goodness, these cars have Crystal energy engines! Somebody else has actually researched Crystal energy engines!

This makes sense; Crystal energy engines ignite quickly and accelerate fast; as long as you provide enough Crystal Cores, they can keep running!

Since they have Crystal energy engines, unless they drive into a dead end or their cars experience severe mechanical issues, this zombie tide won’t catch up to them.

However, after Wang Tao observed a little longer, he noticed that the Crystal energy engines of these people were somewhat different from those manufactured by the Hope Research Institute.

Their Crystal energy engines seem unable to last long; they only accelerate suddenly when close to being caught by the zombie herd, able to shake off the zombies but not fully escape.

“It appears there’s a big difference between their Crystal energy engines and those of the Hope Research Institute. Maybe their initial ideas were similar, but certain steps differed, leading to different outcomes…”

At this moment, the terrain below began to change, with more and more ruins, and the road becoming narrower.

Such terrain is obviously disadvantageous for cars.

But this group remained calm, with the lead vehicle charging ahead, and the others tightly following.

People in the car took out bomb-like objects and tossed them into the ruins.

When the zombie herd caught up, the ruins suddenly exploded. Countless materials rained down, blocking the zombies’ view.

Normally, these scraps couldn’t stop the zombie tide, especially since they were Fifth and Sixth Order zombies. Even if a small building fell on them, they’d survive. But strangely, the zombies became disoriented after being blocked by the debris, including the Sixth-Rank Lord.

By the time they came to their senses, the humans were long gone.

“Crystal Energy Bombs? And they disrupt zombie perception…something interesting!”

Having lost track of those people, the zombies stopped their chase. The Sixth-Rank Lord searched around but still found nothing, unaware of where those humans had gone, eventually calling its minions to prepare to leave.

But at this moment, a flaming meteor suddenly descended from the sky, crashing right into the middle of the zombie herd. The zombies hadn’t figured out what was happening before losing consciousness entirely.

Wang Tao retracted the Law Domain [Infinite Karma Fire], even though the previous group had the means to escape, they obviously didn’t have the power to fight the zombies head-on. For Wang Tao, eliminating this zombie tide was a trivial matter, and since he stumbled upon it, he wouldn’t let them go.

Wang Tao flew back into the sky, quickly locating the cars, and positioned himself on their inevitable path.

“Boss, these zombies are so dumb!”

“Indeed dumb! If only my strength were a bit higher, I’d make sure they never return!”

“…”

In high spirits, they were chatting away until the front vehicle suddenly braked hard, nearly causing the ones behind to crash into it.

They quickly pulled back inside, sealed the sunroof, and then asked the boss what happened, wondering if they’d run into another zombie tide.

“No…a survivor stopped us. He’s very strong; we’re not his match!”

In the front vehicle, staring at Wang Tao, a Fourth-order Awakener dressed in shorts and bare-chested stepped down from the car.

“I wonder if there’s anything friend needs help with? We’re from the Gale Convoy!”

“Hmm? Gale Convoy?”

Wang Tao was immediately surprised upon hearing the name.

He’d met the Gale Convoy before and had some conflicts with them, resulting in less-than-favorable first impressions.

The man promptly said:

“Seems you’ve heard about the reputation of our Gale Convoy. That’s easy then; does sir need any help? We accept many commissions…”

“Where are you headed to?”

Wang Tao asked directly.

He could clearly see the cars were loaded with supplies, obviously not just an ordinary trip.

“We’ve accepted a commission from the Dusk Church to deliver some supplies for them…”

Th𝙞𝙨 𝗰h𝕒p𝕥𝕖r 𝖎ʂ p𝐨ѕ𝖙𝗲𝐝 b𝖞 𝒦𝐢ṯɛɳ𝗼𝖛𝖾|

The man didn’t conceal, or maybe couldn’t afford to.

“Hmm? Dusk Church?”
