Is Chapter 305 a fish?
Is Chapter 305 a fish?
Zhou Jun slowly straightened up, wiped the warm liquid from the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, and rubbed it in the dim light.
He didn't leave immediately, but quietly watched as the person in front of him gradually cooled down.
The SUV was filled with a strong smell of blood.
He didn't think about tomorrow.
Perhaps he no longer has a tomorrow.
As for escaping, he never even considered it.
Or perhaps he simply doesn't care anymore.
I really don't care anymore.
The end times were like a giant millstone, which had already ground the soft things in his heart to dust.
Jin Shuting was the last straw that broke his back, and also the knife that cut off his last shred of delusion.
He reached out and tidied up Jin Shuting's loose hair, making her face look a little calmer.
Then, he closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and his breathing gradually became steady, as if he were just taking a short nap out of exhaustion.
……
On the other side of the riverbed, the roof of the "Nirvana" vehicle.
Xu Si withdrew his perception of the star veins.
He witnessed the entire process but had no intention of intervening.
The undercurrents and corruption within the Jingzhe caravan were laid bare under Xing Tong's gaze.
Jin Shuting's death was nothing more than a festering sore bursting open, letting out blood that was already filthy.
One by one, they peeked out from their little nest, their wings trembling slightly with unease.
She could sense Xu Si's emotions.
"Go to sleep," Xu Si said to her in his mind, conveying a sense of comfort.
Yiyi curled up again and fell into a deep sleep next to Xu Si.
……
As dawn broke, the mudflats were enveloped in the deepest chill of the pre-dawn season.
It wasn't until the Jingzhe train team began packing up to be merged into the Xin train team that things started to change.
Only then did everyone realize that Zhou Jun and Jin Shuting had not made a single move.
Something's not right.
An ominous premonition rose in Lin Zhennan's heart. Could it really be as he thought?
He noticed yesterday that Zhou Jun's condition was not quite right.
However, the team disbanded soon after, and he didn't care.
It wasn't until he saw what was happening inside Zhou Jun's SUV that he realized just how badly he had performed as a team leader.
In the passenger seat, Jin Shuting leaned back, a gruesome, blackened laceration on her neck.
Blood stained the chair and her carefully chosen but now blood-soaked clothes.
Her eyes were wide open, frozen in a final expression of resentment and astonishment.
In the driver's seat, Zhou Jun's head was tilted to the side, a strange, almost relieved smile still lingering on the corner of his mouth. His face was ashen, and he was already lifeless.
His right hand was still gently resting on Jin Shuting's cold wrist.
The air on the riverbed seemed to freeze instantly.
The few ordinary people who went forward to check on the Jingzhe convoy let out a suppressed gasp, then suddenly stepped back, their faces turning pale.
Hinata Aoi only glanced at it from afar before looking away and continuing to adjust her large umbrella.
Lin Zhennan stood still, motionless.
"Captain Lin?" Fu Xiaojian heard the noise and walked over quickly. When he saw the scene inside the car, his pupils contracted slightly.
"...Dead. It's for the best." Pei Xiu sighed, a hint of envy even in her eyes.
He then shook his head, said nothing more, turned and slowly walked away, his back view appearing somewhat hunched.
Lin Zhennan slowly turned his head, the muscles on his face twitched, and finally formed an extremely bitter smile.
"Please take good care of me, Captain Fu, from now on!"
Lin Zhennan has now officially entrusted the team, and as for what will happen to the Jingzhe team in the future, it can't be worse than it is now.
Fu Xiaojian glanced at Xu Si.
Xu Si stood beside the Nirvana Cart and gave Fu Xiaojian a barely perceptible nod.
It was confirmed that it was purely a matter of killing and ending between people.
"Clean it up and bury it," Fu Xiaojian said to Lin Zhennan.
"Forget it! Let's just burn it!" He remembered the eerie creatures that could move freely in the mud and changed his instructions.
Lin Zhennan nodded silently.
The flames were particularly dazzling in the morning light on the mudflats.
The two intertwined corpses, along with the SUV, were quickly reduced to ashes by the gasoline.
There was no tombstone, no eulogy.
Only the charred marks on the riverbed and the lingering foul odor in the air testified to everything that happened last night.
The remaining three extraordinary members of the Jingzhe team—Lin Zhennan, Pei Xiu, and Hinata Aoi—along with seven bewildered ordinary people, officially joined the Xinhuo team.
The fleet of cars carrying supplies also arrived in 12-vehicle formation.
The number of extraordinary sequences has officially exceeded 20, even surpassing the number of ordinary people.
Keep in mind that the two teams together only have 15 ordinary people.
The convoy was reorganized and drove once again into the depths of the mudflats.
Looking at the massive vehicle leading the way, the members of the Jingzhe convoy felt an unprecedented sense of security for the first time.
The atmosphere in the integrated team was subtle, and few words came through the walkie-talkies.
Perhaps because of the recent loss of life, both teams exercised as much restraint as possible.
……
"Commander, at 3 o'clock ahead, 7.4 kilometers, a large body of shallow water has been detected, with an area of about 1.5 square kilometers."
The sound of Nirvana roused Xu Si.
"Is there anything strange about it?" Xu Si asked.
"Not detected yet! Expected to reach the water's edge in 21 minutes."
"Inform DouDou and send YaYa out to scout ahead!"
"Instruction issued!"
Actually, it would be better for Xu Si to just fly on his sword and go check it out.
However, the enhancement potion was wearing down to its final stage.
He wanted to take another dose of the complex enhancement drug tonight, so he didn't want to be interrupted for the time being.
"Brother Dao, it's almost noon, have you found anything?"
Perhaps he had heard the announcement on the walkie-talkie, which is why Xiao Luo asked about it.
"It's alright, but there probably won't be a good place to rest at noon, so be prepared!" Xu Si comforted him.
There's a body of water not far ahead, so resting by the water isn't a good idea.
Therefore, the convoy definitely needs to get through this body of water as quickly as possible today.
Therefore, Xiao Luo was left to his own devices when it came to the midday announcement.
However, more than ten minutes passed, and no information came from the crows. It seems that the strange creatures are hiding quite well.
As expected by Nirvana, the convoy arrived at the vast body of water.
It's like the puddles left on the road after the rain.
"Commander, the scan shows that the water has an average depth of 0.8 meters, and the bottom is a mixture of silt and hard riverbed. There are several passable paths."
"Warning: A weak energy response has been detected in the central area of the water body. The energy reading is low. The threat level is tentatively set at 'Observation'."
Nirvana's report remained stable.
Xu Si stood on the roof of the car, his starry eyes scanning the area ahead.
It was a vast expanse of shallow, murky water, tinged with rust, stretching to the horizon.
Some withered reeds stood sparsely on the water's surface, and occasionally bubbles rose from the bottom.
In stellar pulse perception, there are indeed some rapidly moving, minute energy clusters beneath the water.
It is not small in scale, but it does not seem to be very aggressive.
"Is it a fish?" That was the first thing Xu Si thought of.
