In order to catch up with the main force ahead.
The two gradually started running, moving quickly through the rain.
Along the way, the local refugees would only see the two from afar and then hide away in fear.
Such a running speed could only be attributed to someone fleeing for their life or a powerful awakened being; no one would dare to provoke them lightly.
While in pursuit, Li Yu and Fu Xiyao suddenly smelled a strong stench of blood.
The two subconsciously slowed their pace and looked in the direction from which the smell of blood was coming.
A small team stood silently in the distance, with a large, shocking pool of blood at their feet.
A huge lizard lay there, its mouth still oozing a highly toxic substance that emitted a pungent odor.
It was an entire squad of Awakened Ones!
Li Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. He could clearly feel the strong energy fluctuations emanating from the other party. Without a doubt, this was the power of supernatural abilities.
The other party also keenly noticed the commotion, but fortunately, they only glanced at Li Yu and Fu Xiyao from afar before turning back to continue dealing with the lizard, completely ignoring the two of them.
From a distance, Li Yu could tell that even though the entire team consisted of Awakened Ones, their clothes were still old and worn, making them undoubtedly a scavenger team.
Li Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since they were both scavengers, they would generally abide by the unwritten rules among refugees.
Even if some scavengers awaken superpowers, in the eyes of the people in the safe zone, they are still just slightly more powerful savages.
Their drastically different living environments from childhood, coupled with the deep-seated hatred that had accumulated over time, made them irreconcilable enemies.
Even those who become Awakened are naturally assigned to their respective factions.
On one side are the awakened ones in the safe zone, who, even after awakening, still choose to serve the people in the safe zone.
On the other side are the vagrant scavengers, who, after awakening, continue their free-hunting lifestyle and do not choose to join the safe zone.
Regardless of whether they are awakened or not, there has always been a deep-seated hostility between these two groups.
This hostile mindset is deeply ingrained and cannot be easily changed.
Li Yu suddenly recalled the bonfire-like light she had seen earlier.
It seems that when the scavengers gathered together, it was these awakened ones who were in the very center, and it was they who created the light.
Such a scavenger team, composed entirely of awakened individuals, is extremely rare, and their strength is naturally terrifying, far surpassing that of Li Yu and Fu Xiyao.
The two carefully bypassed the Awakened Squad before continuing their pursuit.
They originally thought that with a one-day difference, they would be left far behind by the main force ahead.
Unexpectedly, soon, many refugees who had fallen behind due to exhaustion appeared ahead.
This means that the main force is not far ahead.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, the two deliberately slowed down and continued their pursuit at a leisurely pace.
Even so, their speed far exceeded that of most ordinary scavengers.
As more and more refugees gathered ahead, Li Yu spotted Ma Yuanbai's team from afar, their distinctive plastic armor being quite conspicuous.
At this moment, Li Yu noticed that although the group of refugees was still following the team in the safe zone ahead, the distance between them seemed to have been deliberately widened, and they were no longer following closely.
Moreover, every refugee looked at the safe zone team with hatred in their eyes.
Li Yu and Fu Xiyao continued to approach the direction of Ma Yuanbai's team.
Upon noticing someone rushing towards them, the woman beside Ma Yuanbai stood up warily.
"Captain, someone's here."
Ma Yuanbai turned around and saw that it was Li Yu walking towards him. He then smiled and said from afar:
"I thought you didn't want this snake meat anymore."
As Li Yu and the other person approached, Ma Yuanbai was about to continue speaking when he suddenly widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
"You are... Li Yu?"
Looking at Li Yu, who had grown taller and stronger and had a completely new aura, Ma Yuanbai was somewhat surprised and uncertain.
He then turned his gaze to Fu Xiyao, who was standing next to Li Yu. It was obvious that even this woman who had always been by Li Yu's side had changed significantly.
Her fair and delicate skin and exquisite face made her look like a completely different person.
Looking at the two people before him who seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, Ma Yuanbai couldn't help but blurt out:
"What are you doing...?"
Realizing he shouldn't ask any more questions, Ma Yuanbai immediately shut his mouth.
In this rain-soaked wasteland, everyone has secrets, and he was no exception, so he consciously refrained from asking any further questions.
Although Ma Yuanbai didn't ask any more questions, his eyes continued to stare at the two of them.
After all, the change was so significant that he couldn't ignore it.
Thinking of Li Yu and his companion's purpose, Ma Yuanbai turned to his subordinates behind him and said:
"Give him that package of level-two snake meat."
He always kept his word in business, so he naturally gave Li Yu the half of the snake meat he had promised.
He always keeps his word in business; since he promised only half the snake meat, he will naturally keep his word.
While his men were getting the items, Ma Yuanbai continued to scrutinize the two men.
"This is incredible," Ma Yuanbai murmured to himself.
The changes in Li Yu and the other person truly surprised him, and he couldn't help but take another step forward, intending to get closer and take a closer look.
Although the other party's appearance had changed a lot, as an Awakened One himself, Ma Yuanbai was naturally able to sense the familiar aura on Li Yu, which was no different from before.
