"Gurgle..."
Suddenly, Mao Ya's stomach growled. Mao Ya said awkwardly, "Sorry, Brother Yang, I didn't mean to."
Yang Shencai then realized that others also needed to eat.
The main reason is that he can absorb energy to replenish his bodily functions and doesn't feel hungry at all, so he subconsciously ignores this matter.
He glanced at the sky and realized it was probably around 2 p.m.
Mao Ya and the others had eaten around 7 a.m., so they must have been hungry.
"Brother Yang, I can still manage. Sometimes I could only eat once every two days," Mao Ya said hurriedly, worried that Yang Shen would blame her.
Yang Shen thought for a moment and said, "Stop in a spacious area ahead and let everyone eat in the car."
"Okay!" Mao Ya was overjoyed. Of course, he didn't want to go hungry; the feeling was too unpleasant.
Soon, the SUV stopped in a fairly spacious area where the roadside trees were not very dense, and at least the sky could be seen.
When the SUV stopped, the vehicles behind it also stopped.
"Brother Yang, I'm going to inform the convoy behind us to have a meal." After saying that, Mao Ya got out of the car with his big knife.
Yang Shen also got out of the car and walked towards the back, releasing his aura as he went. Wherever he passed, the insects and ants near the convoy all retreated.
Before long, Yang Shen arrived at the location of the last car and saw the two cars from Kaiyang County parked more than 200 meters away.
"That steel vehicle is quite stylish. I'll build one when I have time, and once we're in a safe zone, I'll have people drive it around in crowded places whenever they have a spare moment."
Yang Shen glanced at the steel vehicle and started walking back. He used his mental power to scan a radius of thirty meters, not missing a single possible mutated poisonous insect.
Inside the steel vehicle, the young man driving was also taking advantage of the time to devour the cold roasted meat, while asking in confusion, "Uncle Steel, what's that guy doing?"
"What else can we do? Patrol, of course."
Uncle Steel said, "It's really amazing. We didn't encounter any significant obstacles on such a long journey. I really want to meet their boss."
He was just saying it casually, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly had a thought: "That's right, if I can get on the good side of such an awesome superhuman, I'll be able to walk around like a headless chicken once I get to the safe zone."
This idea grew stronger and stronger, and just as he was about to get out of the car to see the bigwig ahead, he discovered that the convoy ahead had already set off again.
"Hurry up and keep up." The steel uncle could only suppress his impulse for the time being, thinking that there was still a long way to go and plenty of opportunities.
Yang Shen's nine drivers ate very quickly, finishing in two or three minutes, while the rest could eat slowly in their cars.
The convoy continued on its way, encountering mutated creatures from time to time, but most of them were only level one or two. As long as Yang Shen released his aura slightly, they would be scared away, so they encountered almost no obstacles.
As he continuously released and concealed his aura along the way, Yang Shen became much more proficient in controlling his own aura, able to both release and contain it.
It seems someone has walked on this section of the highway, because there are no longer any vehicles blocking the road; they have all been moved to the side of the road.
Yang Shen was happy to have some free time; all he needed to do was occasionally scan the area ahead with his mental energy and release his aura.
However, around 6 p.m., an unexpected incident occurred.
It was getting dark by then, because it was winter and it gets dark quickly.
The convoy had entered the plains and was not far from the sea. From time to time, they could see some marine life that had somehow come here, such as sea crabs.
This is not surprising; even in places as far away as Heyang County, there is a giant infected sea crab.
As the SUV rounded a huge bend, it suddenly saw a large number of roadblocks in the distance.
"Brother Yang, something's up," Mao Ya hurriedly reminded him.
Yang Shen had already seen it; several hundred meters ahead, the highway was filled with numerous roadblocks.
There were various vehicles, as well as some wooden stakes that were clearly man-made, as if to deter wild animals.
Moreover, all the roadside trees in the vicinity have been cut down, and the roadside is bare for hundreds of meters, with very few weeds, indicating that it has been cleared away.
Yang Shen sniffed and found that the smell of blood was very strong.
Upon closer inspection, it appeared that a fierce battle had taken place behind the obstacle, as the road surface was riddled with potholes.
He looked into the distance but saw no humans. Instead, he saw a large mountain blocking his way, with a clear landslide at its foot.
The car was now ten meters away from the obstacle. Because of the roadblock, Mao Ya had to stop the car. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother Yang, I remember there's a tunnel here. There should be a tunnel ahead."
However, his eyesight wasn't good enough, so he couldn't see what was happening at the very front.
Yang Shen frowned slightly upon hearing this, having a bad feeling. If the tunnel ahead really was a tunnel, it must have been buried by a landslide.
There is no other way here; you can't even find a detour.
He glanced at the surroundings, and after a full half minute, reluctantly said to Mao Ya, "Have the men get out of the car and clear the vegetation. Women and children should stay in the car. We may have to camp here tonight."
"Okay, Brother Yang."
Upon hearing this, Mao Ya immediately grabbed his large knife, got off the vehicle, and ran to the back to relay Yang Shen's instructions.
Yang Shen also got out of the car, and was about to go ahead to check the situation, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to clear out the threats near the convoy first.
He turned and walked behind him, scanning a 30-meter radius with his mental energy while releasing his aura to scare away poisonous insects and snakes hiding in the grass.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Wherever Yang Shen went, a large number of snakes, insects, rats and ants were startled and fled for their lives, creating a spectacular scene.
