Swish~

Pfft~

Then came the sound of flames tearing through the air.

A dazzling golden flame drew ever closer under the terrified gaze of the bull.

The next moment.

The whole world before its eyes began to spin.

In the end, everything was plunged into endless darkness.

Gigi retrieved the perfect-grade Tang sword that had been flung away by the first bull's roar.

He ran quickly to Li Qingge's side, pointed at the retreating cows, and squeaked twice.

— Shall we pursue him?

Li Qingge glanced at the fleeing cows and the surrounding ruins, then gently shook her head and said, "Let's get the car first..."

That's all.

The man and the monkey quickly ran towards the other side of the hillside.

Back in the car.

Li Qingge told Zhao Lu and Ye Li about the bull's roar they had just encountered.

"A Soul-Eating Beast that can emit energy pulses?"

Ye Li and Zhao Lu were somewhat surprised.

"Yes, be careful if you encounter it. This kind of monster lives in groups."

Li Qingge continued.

"knew."

Ye Li and Zhao Lu replied one after the other.

Li Qingge started the car and continued driving forward.

As Li Qingge rounded the hillside, she suddenly heard the roar of a car engine.

It was accompanied by a large amount of flying dust.

A convoy suddenly appeared in front of her.

The convoy consisted of more than twenty cars.

There are jeeps, trucks, off-road vehicles, and armored vehicles.

There were even larger engineering vehicles.

On one of the two armored vehicles, a mecha was sitting on each side.

They marched in a grand procession toward the ruins.

"Captain, there's a suspicious car appearing to our right."

Inside the convoy, the person responsible for keeping watch on the surroundings also spotted Li Qingge's car and hurriedly called out over the walkie-talkie.

"car?"

The people in the convoy immediately turned their gaze to the right front.

"How is that possible?"

"Could there be survivors in this wasteland?"

"The Lighthouse hasn't rescued any survivors in fifty years. Nowadays, the survival rate of humans on the ground is almost zero. Apart from the Soul-Eating Beasts, there shouldn't be any survivors on the ground!"

“After the disaster, we never land on the ground except to collect supplies. This continent is so vast, and without a comprehensive scan and search, there might actually be living people in some place we have overlooked!”

"Is it possible that the driver inside isn't a human, but a Soul-Devouring Beast?"

"What? Soul-devouring beasts have evolved to the point where they can drive?"

"..."

A group of people dressed in uniform combat gear looked shocked and began speculating amongst themselves.

"Whatever it is, everyone get ready for battle and move the vehicle over there."

The captain's voice rang out.

Everyone loaded their weapons.

His eyes also became wary and tense at that moment.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The vehicle was accompanied by a deafening roar.

More than twenty cars quickly turned around and rushed straight towards Li Qingge's RV.

Li Qingge stopped the RV and took out a pistol.

When facing humans, a pistol is more effective than a longsword.

Before long, the twenty-odd cars surrounded Li Qingge's RV.

A group of people dressed in uniform combat gear filed out of the vehicle.

Each person was holding an assault rifle that looked somewhat old, but was well-maintained.

Another person climbed onto the construction vehicle carrying a sniper rifle.
