Chapter 13 Leader Source Beast
After these statements from both sides, the atmosphere between them became much closer.
After breakfast, the convoy set off.
Inside the car, Wu Ou looked at the road outside and asked, "Was this the place you cleaned up before?"
"Yes, our previous base was not far ahead. We came here actually for my sake." Leng Yue did not hide this fact.
"Actually, what you did was right. Without sufficient strength, having a large number of people sometimes doesn't guarantee safety." Wu Ou looked at the scenery outside.
This was the case until humanity regained a large number of effective weapons and equipment.
Once in space, the strength of a single individual is an aspect that a civilization cannot ignore.
In half a day, they also encountered some animals that tried to attack the convoy, but they were all easily dealt with and became their food reserves.
Having dealt with another wild boar with a broken tooth, Wu Ou frowned as he looked at the wound on its tooth.
"What's wrong?" Leng Yue asked as she walked over.
She discovered that Wu Ou seemed to know quite a bit about these mutated beasts, as well as about the growth of his own strength.
"Haven't you noticed that there are more and more mutated beasts attacking the convoy?" Wu Ou looked towards the woods beside the road.
"This isn't anything too unusual, is it? They're not showing any signs of forming groups, nor are they acting panicked as if they're being chased."
Leng Yue also looked towards the woods and gave her own judgment.
She made her judgment based on the information she had gathered so far from the mutated beasts that had attacked the convoy, combined with her previous experience passing through this area.
She even looked at the wound where the tooth was broken; it looked like it had broken normally, as if it had been hit somewhere and broken.
Wu Ou closed his eyes and quickly recalled, "No! The mutated beasts that attacked were driven away, from weak to strong!"
What he recalled were the things that would happen during normal development.
The northern base will be hit by a beast tide during this period.
It was only after enduring this ordeal that they discovered the entrance to the first ruin.
"Judging by the timeline, this should be around the time the source energy beast leader migrated to the vicinity and began production."
The leader of the Source Beasts is a Source Beast whose strength has reached level one or above, and who also has special abilities.
Based on later information, it can be inferred that its strength before reproduction was a stable first-level mid-section.
This is an elephant that originally escaped from the zoo. Its special ability is a sonic cannon, the power of which is no less than that of a main battle tank cannon.
Given its enormous size, strength, and thick skin, even a sneak attack to decapitate it would be very difficult.
Moreover, at that time, there were fewer than ten experts of first-level strength in the Northern Base.
Ultimately, the beast was able to win because its recovery ability decreased after giving birth.
Coupled with the constant attacks and bombings from the northern base, which depleted its recovery capabilities, this finally gave the level-one warriors an opportunity to launch a surprise attack and kill it.
As for now, it is very likely that it has just arrived in this area and has begun to clear out the source energy beasts that originally lived here.
"You mean there's an exceptionally powerful mutated beast inside?!" Leng Yue understood Wu Ou's meaning and her expression became tense.
"Speed up and get through this area!" Wu Ou shook his head and jumped onto the roof of the car.
"What are your plans?" Leng Yue jumped up next to him.
"Other mutated beasts have appeared behind us. As long as they don't attack the vehicle, just drive them away." As he spoke, Wu Ou looked up at the sky. "Try to reach your previous encampment before evening."
Standing on the roof of the car, Wu Ou's eyes had transformed into "eagle eyes," enhancing his dynamic vision, as he faced all the energy beasts attempting to crash into him.
He condensed the metal particles in his body into steel needles, accurately hitting the eyes of the source energy beasts and piercing their brains to kill them.
Inside the vehicle, people already prepared by the window will fire crossbows with ropes attached, and if they hit the target in time, drag them into the vehicle.
If you fail to hit the target, just give up.
Strictly follow the orders; the vehicle must not stop!
Inside a camp built of wood, some abandoned cars were stacked together to form a second line of defense.
This place was originally a driving practice area, but unfortunately the part that used to be the teaching building was destroyed by plants and the energy beasts that were initially active nearby.
Moreover, given the size of the place, not many people initially gathered there, so the area of use had to be minimized to ensure personal safety as much as possible.
In addition, at that time, the road conditions no longer allowed 80% of cars to drive normally, so they naturally became rooms used for living.
Later, some of the damaged cars were stacked together to form a wall.
"They're back! Captain Leng and the others are back!" A young man on a watchtower pointed at the approaching convoy and shouted to the ground behind him.
"Really?!"
"Of course it's true, what would be the point of me lying to you? Open the door!"
As the door slowly opened, Leng Yue felt a little relieved.
It seems that no one at the base had any bad intentions during the few days I was away.
Once the convoy came to a stop, the people at the base realized that there were several more vehicles returning, but they were all small and looked like they had taken in a group of homeless people.
Even so, many people still viewed these people with wariness.
After all, in this day and age, you can only know a person's face, not their heart.
But at least, those that Captain Leng can bring back won't be truly evil people.
"Everyone, let me introduce you. Captain Wu Ou, Captain Sun Xin, and Captain Hu Meng are the team leaders for this team."
"We plan to rest here for three days, but these three days are also the time we plan to travel to the northern base." Leng Yue's voice rang out, and many people showed surprised expressions.
"They're really going to the northern base!"
"Wasn't this agreed upon long ago? Don't you trust the country?"
"I'm worried about encountering danger on the road! There are so many of us!"
"Since Captain Leng has spoken up, it seems this time it has succeeded!" a voice said.
He was a somewhat overweight man who was wrapped up tightly.
He was surrounded by several tall, burly men, looking like a big boss and his bodyguards before a disaster struck.
But in reality, he was the original owner here, and those people were his relatives.
Previously, thanks to the host's hospitality and since neither side intended to actually vie for power, the two sides had gotten along fairly well.
Leng Yue nodded and walked up to him. "Boss Qi, we agreed that if we were to leave, we would leave some supplies as payment for a car."
Yes, most of the cars here belong to this Mr. Qi, and many of them are broken and abandoned vehicles that he collected.
In addition, his side has more people with car repair skills, so naturally they have the upper hand.
"Hey! I just said that before! Now that I think about it, Captain Leng, you're right! We ordinary people should trust and support the country in times like these!" Boss Qi said with a smile, looking like a Maitreya Buddha.
Leng Yue breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll trouble Boss Qi to make arrangements for Captain Wu and his team first."
