Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 269: Iron Lion, Still Not Waking?

"How dare you!!! Who are you to insult His Majesty like that?"

A sharp, thin, duck-like voice instantly exploded through the radio.

It was so unpleasant that Chen Ye almost fumbled with his hands.

"Goddamn..."

Chen Ye was about to curse at the top of his lungs.

It wasn't that Chen Ye was a coward and afraid to act.

It was just that the situation right now was totally inappropriate.

Outside the windows the night was retreating in a chaotic rush.

On the mountain road the rising floodwaters were surging crazily.

Chen Ye still had enough sense to tell what was important and what wasn't.

If he was going to beat someone up, he'd wait until they were somewhere safe.

"Shut up, His Majesty is the Child of Heaven, how could you lowly peasants dare to insult him at will."

"And you, your voice is truly unbearable, it dirties my ears. I now order you to shut your mouth and not speak!"

Calling people "peasant" over and over!!!

Good, very good.

Don't let me catch you, you dead eunuch!

Chen Ye had only muttered two words before he was cut off.

That thin, duck-like voice gave Chen Ye the sensation of a million ants crawling over his back.

And yet this guy had the nerve to complain that someone else's voice was unpleasant.

What the hell...

Is there no justice left in the world?

"Your Majesty, your servant has already driven off these rude peasants. I hope Your Majesty will not be angry. These peasants do not understand Your Majesty’s heavenly might."

"Over time, as they live with us, they will naturally bow beneath Your Majesty’s heavenly might!"

"Ah, my little virtue, well done. I am—"

Chen Ye abruptly cut off the radio.

The more he listened, the angrier he became, and the more he wanted to punch someone.

He really wanted to see what kind of people these two clowns were.

The rain in the sky kept getting heavier.

Chen Ye could even feel the vehicle slowing down.

The earlier interruption hadn't materially affected the convoy's speed.

Instead, the narrow gap of water on the road was creating severe trouble for the vehicles.

Chen Ye didn't have Chu Che's ability to sense upcoming weather changes.

But he could still sense danger closing in.

There was a prickling at the back of his neck, as if warning him to leave as soon as possible.

His foot had already slammed the gas pedal to the floor.

The vehicle's speed had been pushed to its limits.

The Apocalyptic Pickup Truck's exclusive triggered trait had fully manifested in Chen Ye.

With pinpoint control, Chen Ye could always pick the optimal route through complex road conditions.

In short, he felt like a driving god had possessed him.

As for the panel van and the school bus behind him,

both vehicles were now following exactly in Chen Ye's tire tracks.

Chu Che and the pink-haired girl's two modified off-roaders were ahead of him.

Those two vehicles had far bigger engines than Chen Ye's.

Even so, they still hadn't pulled far ahead of him.

Remember, their drivers were just ordinary people.

All the superhumans were fully focused, ready for any sudden disaster.

Every two or three minutes the pink-haired girl had to act.

Either she shredded suddenly fallen roadside trees into wood chips, or she pulled cars that were about to crash back onto the road.

Ding Dong was doing the same.

Sometimes she even came to the school bus's aid.

Without superhumans, there would have been dozens of accidents by now.

Each time the Fire Dragon Sword was drawn, it vaporized nearby rain into mist.

Fortunately, in the dark night it wasn't too noticeable. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The willow branch dangling from the handle of Hatred swayed outside like a thin spiritual snake, always ready for emergencies.

The road conditions were terrible.

Chen Ye lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth, the smoke already filling the cab, as if preparing for whatever came next.

The cigarette burned down slowly;in non-combat situations Chen Ye usually wasn't as free with smoking as before.

"Ah~~~"

A scream.

Before the echo of the scream faded,

Chen Ye heard a strange rumbling.

It was an odd sound, nothing like what one normally hears.

In the ear it seemed to trigger a primal fear, making people deeply uncomfortable.

Before Chen Ye could take in his surroundings,

he felt a slight tremor through the ground.

When the headlights swept across the right-hand slope,

every hair on Chen Ye's body stood on end.

Holy crap...

This is... a landslide.

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Ye's brow.

Huge swaths of rock and soil were rushing down the mountain road.

In just ten seconds—no, even only a few seconds—those rocks and earth would crash down near them.

A sword light shot out from the front vehicle.

The largest boulder, roughly four or five meters across, was instantly shattered by the blade.

A massive plume of Smoke Breath burst out through the cracks in the windows.

Very quickly, a wall of smoke formed along one side of the slope.

This was Smoke Breath’s simulation ability.

The smoke simulated a wall roughly a hundred meters long and seven or eight meters high, blocking the rushing boulders and soil.

The pink-haired girl's Fire Dragon Sword kept slashing, cleaving the bigger stones into powder.

The remaining debris could be held back by Chen Ye's smoke wall.

Just as Chen Ye exhaled in relief,

a fresh shiver of dread rose in his chest.

This feeling came from a superhuman's danger sense.

The pink-haired girl had already lifted her head and looked toward the other side of the mountain.

Among superhumans, Sword Immortal Sequence's perception of danger was among the finest.

Ordinary superhumans could sense impending danger.

But a Sword Immortal Sequence could sense where the danger was coming from.

There—

a gigantic boulder, roughly a hundred meters across, rumbled with a sound that chilled the spine.

This was no mere rock.

It was a small mountain.

A small hill had broken loose from the top and was rolling down lively and happily.

Every time that fifty-meter-diameter mass struck the mountain surface, Chen Ye could feel the terrain tremble.

Whether it was the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck,

or the modified off-roaders,

or even that incredible Apocalyptic Fortress behind them,

if they were crushed by this little rolling hill and ground into powder,

the phrase unstoppable was probably coined for a moment like this.

Chen Ye's face went a little pale.

This level of danger matched, without shame, the time in Divine Elephant Village when they faced swarms of wraiths.

Judging by the trajectory of this small rolling hill, it would cross paths with the convoy at a single point.

The convoy would be a tiny, insignificant dot to this hill, flattened like an iron disc.

Slow down?

There was no time.

Speed up?

They were already at full speed.

Even if a superhuman could smash the hill apart,

the blasted fragments would still rain down with lethal force on the convoy.

"Chen Ye!"

"Ding Dong!"

"Iron Lion!"

The pink-haired girl felt unprecedented pressure.

She needed backup.

Ding Dong was already standing on the roof of the panel van, legs planted firmly, her body unmoved despite the vehicle's violent jolting.

Rain formed a thin mist around the woman.

Chen Ye gritted his teeth and roared, "Iron Lion, if you don't wake up, we're all screwed here."

"Iron Lion, wake up?"

"Iron Lion, wake up!!!"

His voice cut through the rain curtain and carried into the school bus behind.

Iron Lion, who had been sleeping, had his eyelids twitching madly.
