Chapter 332 The Wolf Feigns Sleep to Lure the Enemy
She could feel that the golden light within her body, which she had previously needed to actively activate, had now completely merged with her.
It's not an ability, but a continuation of instinct.
Just like breathing, just like a heartbeat, just like the countless punches in muscle memory.
Sequence 4 - Boxing Champion.
She slowly raised her hand, her five fingers loosely clenched.
There was no burst of golden light, no energy fluctuations, but with just this simple action, the temperature inside the chariot suddenly rose by several degrees.
Jiao Jiao sensed an aura from him that was completely different from that of Chen Pei and Hong Mao.
She stared blankly, tears still on her face, but she had forgotten to wipe them away.
"Auntie...you..."
"Hmm." Su Su came back to her senses, her voice still cold, but with something she hadn't heard before.
It's not gentleness, but a relaxed ease that comes from seeing through and understanding.
It seems that the fist is no longer a tool for her, but rather her very being.
And she finally found the answer.
Jiao Jiao didn't know what it was, but she could sense that her aunt was different.
"How are they doing?" Su Su asked.
"Old Pei is gone. Brother Shan only has minor injuries. Uncle Zhennan's injuries were more serious, but I've already treated him and he's fine now."
Su Su was silent for a moment.
She couldn't help but think of the old man who always leaned on his single cane and looked at everyone with a smile.
In the end times, it seems that the elderly are never treated kindly.
"Did it work?" Fu Xiaojian's voice came through the walkie-talkie, tinged with eager confirmation.
Because he could already see Su Su's replicable trait +3.
In particular, the characteristic of "royal aura" is very attractive.
"Mm," Su Su replied briefly.
A suppressed cheer seemed to rise from the team; including the Su Su team, there were now four Sequence 4 teams.
Whether facing the bizarre or other dangers, the convoy felt more confident.
If only Elder Pei hadn't sacrificed himself.
The torrential rain showed no signs of stopping despite Su Su's promotion to Sequence 4.
The floodwaters around the hill are still rising slowly.
The murky water was already approaching the outermost edge of the convoy.
On the holographic screen of Nirvana, the red spot of light representing the flood was like a giant hand slowly closing, gripping the isolated island-like highland inch by inch.
Xu Si withdrew his star vein and glanced across the camp.
Inside the chariot, Jiao Jiao was holding Su Su's arm, burying her face in her shoulder, her shoulders heaving.
Su Su didn't speak, but gently patted her back. The golden flames in her newly transformed eyes had already faded.
Tashan was shirtless, leaning against the bus door and looking out. His bare upper body showed no signs of being bandaged.
It wasn't that Jiao Jiao didn't want to bandage him, but rather that she always quickly lost the Tashan after bandaging him.
Over time, she stopped bothering with it, since it was going to be wasted anyway.
Tashan really wanted to ask Su Su how he broke through to Sequence 4. Was it because his injury was too minor?
During this battle with the Crocodile Demon, he cleverly avoided the giant mouths of those big guys, and only suffered their claw attacks.
For him, it was just a superficial injury.
Could it be a problem with my choice of fighting style?
……
"Commander, weak underwater energy fluctuations have been detected, suggesting a possible migration of a strange group, but we cannot rule out the possibility of a feint." Nirvana's voice echoed in my mind.
Xu Si nodded slightly; he had sensed it too.
Within the star veins, those creatures resembled schools of fish, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattering, as they passed through a wasteland submerged by a flood not far away.
Could this be some kind of harassment tactic or a vanguard move by that [Crocodile Demon]?
Given its bizarre intelligence, Xu Si felt that it was capable of doing such a thing.
Has this guy's intelligence really reached the point where he can use tactics?
Xu Si found it hard to believe.
If he could, he really wouldn't want to provoke this level 5 weirdo.
Ideally, they should keep to themselves and not interfere with each other.
They left after the flood, and the two sides made peace.
The main reason was that the entire team was his life savings, and he felt it was a pity that it was sacrificed in such a place.
Moreover, he wasn't sure how many henchmen that big guy had.
If this eerie group in front of us really was summoned by the [Crocodile Demon].
Its wisdom has clearly reached a new level.
As it turns out, Murphy's Law does have some truth to it.
If something can go wrong, then it will definitely go wrong.
As the 'school of fish' leaped out of the water, revealing their sharp fangs...
Xu Si was already completely certain that these guys were the servants of [Crocodile Demon].
He was certain that these guys knew the approximate location of the convoy, even though the convoy had been under the cover of Xu Si's star screen.
[Level 1 Mysterious Detection - Crocodile Spirit]
【Characteristics: Social, commanded, prone to hunger】
"Nirvana, notify the convoy, unfold the vehicles, and let all the convoy vehicles in!" Xu Si made a decisive decision.
This is currently Xu Si's most effective way to save his life.
Before these [crocodile demons] could launch their attack, Xu Si abandoned his last glimmer of hope.
"Attention all vehicles, full speed ahead to Nirvana!"
Fu Xiaojian responded without hesitation over the walkie-talkie.
Although he didn't know how Xu Si's huge machine could accommodate all the cars in the convoy.
However, he still trusted Xu Si's words without reservation.
Although everyone was confused by Fu Xiaojian's instructions, they still carried them out meticulously.
The roar of the engine suddenly rose in the torrential rain.
Warriors, Hummers, off-road vehicles, armored vehicles, RVs, ambulances, troop carriers, trucks, and even buses all rushed toward that dark red behemoth.
Nirvana stirred.
Its massive body began to drift longitudinally, performing a slight fishtail, turning the rear of the car towards the convoy.
At the same time, the armor plates on both sides of the vehicle began to extend and unfold outward, like some ancient behemoth stretching its limbs.
"Commander, 'Military Fortress' has been activated. It is estimated that it will take thirty-seven seconds to fully deploy." Nirvana's voice echoed in his mind.
"It doesn't need to be that big, just big enough to accommodate the convoy." Xu Si's starry eyes were fixed on the boiling torrent below the hill.
The number of those [crocodile spirits] far exceeded his expectations.
Not tens, not hundreds—
There are tens of thousands.
Like a herd of man-eating crocodiles drawn by the scent of blood, they surged madly toward this isolated, high-altitude island.
Each time it leaps out of the water, you can see its sharp fangs gleaming in the downpour.
"Holy crap!" The bus from Tashan was closest to Xu Si and was the first to rush to Nirvana.
Then we saw Nirvana's gaping maw slowly descend like the aft deck of a landing craft.
Meanwhile, the price of Nirvana's vehicles continues to skyrocket.
The bus from Tashan practically skidded into Nirvana's unfolded armor plating.
The massive vehicle rolled over the muddy slope, its tires spinning wildly twice on the slippery ground, before finally being firmly caught by the mechanical arm extending from inside Nirvana and dragged into the expanding "giant mouth".
"Holy crap! Knife, you're quite the actor!"
Tashan's voice burst from the walkie-talkie, filled with inexplicable elation and shock.
Immediately following were Ivan's trucks, troop carriers, and other vehicles, which rushed into Nirvana's cavity like the wind.
Not far away, Xu Si's worries came true. Thousands upon thousands of [Crocodile Demons] surged out of the turbid ocean like a black tide, rushing madly towards this isolated island-like highland.
They are not large, only about the length of an arm, but their numbers are terrifying.
Each time it leaps out of the water, you can see its sharp fangs gleaming in the torrential rain, like a moving mountain of knives.
"Faster! Faster!"
Fu Xiaojian's stern shout rang out in the walkie-talkie, and his sense of danger suddenly turned red. Although he didn't know what had happened, it was definitely not a good thing.
Nirvana methodically received each incoming vehicle, securing them firmly to its expanded armor plating.
This is not over yet.
As those [crocodile demons] surged up the hill, numerous black gun barrels emerged from their vehicles, which had expanded tenfold.
Then, gunfire continued unabated in the torrential rain.
At this moment, Nirvana is like an indestructible fortress.
Gun barrels extending from the Nirvana vehicle spewed fire wildly.
Gunfire wove together a dense, impenetrable metallic storm in the torrential rain.
The crocodile demons that had charged up the hill fell in droves under the intense firepower.
However, unlike what Xu Si had imagined, the gunfire continued unabated, but not a single shell casing fell, and Xu Si's sequence energy was not used.
However, Xu Si also did not receive the corresponding purification points.
What shocked Xu Si even more was that after nearly a minute of continuous gunfire, his ranking of rare items actually jumped one place.
It is currently ranked 111th.
"Vehicle reception complete, closing the hatch!" Nirvana remained terrifyingly calm at this moment.
While battling the surging, eerie tides, they calmly protected the convoy.
Inside the belly compartment, emergency lights illuminated the temporary "parking lot".
Ten buses, traveling from Mengshi to Tashan, were all quietly parked on this wide metal deck.
The vehicles maintained just the right distance from each other, and the robotic arms extending from the vehicle bodies were slowly retracting, like port cranes completing their missions.
"This..." Tashan tentatively stepped out of the bus, looked around, and was speechless for a moment.
This place is so similar to the first floor of a military base.
Fu Xiaojian also got out of the Mengshi and his gaze swept over the belly compartment, which was about the size of two football fields.
The metal bulkheads gleamed with a dull, cold light; underfoot was a non-slip armored floor; and overhead were neatly arranged emergency lights and ventilation ducts.
This isn't a car, it's clearly a fortress!
Unfortunately, the gunshots could not be heard from inside the car, nor could the terrifying scene outside be seen.
They would probably be even more shocked if they could see it.
Lin Zhennan, pale-faced, stepped out of the car, supporting himself on the door. His wounds had been treated by Jiao Jiao, but his internal injuries remained, making each step difficult.
Jiao Jiao poked her head out of the chariot, looked around, and then jumped out, bouncing twice on the spot.
"Wow! Redhead! You really had a trick up your sleeve!" she exclaimed, then, remembering something, looked up and shouted.
"Redhead! How's it going outside?"
There was no response, so she turned her gaze to Xiao Luo.
At this moment, Xiao Luo's face was pale, and his eyes were full of shock.
Everything outside was naturally taken in by his spiritual senses.
"What's wrong? What's going on outside?" she asked briefly. Fu Xiaojian also looked over, and they were both shocked.
Xiao Luo didn't know whether he should speak or not; the overwhelming eeriness might shatter the team's confidence.
"It's alright! It's alright!"
Xiao Luo reassured himself that at least for now, he was truly safe under the continued threat of Nirvana's gunfire.
Xu Si did not relax at all.
With that strange intelligence, he always felt that things weren't that simple.
Finally, through his meticulous investigation of the star veins, he discovered the anomaly.
In the completely opposite direction of the [Crocodile Demon] tide, several faint energy reactions alerted Xu Si.
He was all too familiar with this feeling.
"The wolf in front is feigning sleep to lure the enemy"—this is exactly the scene before us.
Those [crocodile spirits] are clearly the choice to lure the enemy.
The real danger is unfolding; those guys have indeed returned.
It did indeed return.
This guy first unleashed a massive number of low-level monsters to launch a frontal assault, creating chaos and exhaustion.
He then led his elite troops to outflank and encircle the enemy from the flank.
A standard tactical encirclement.
"You're quite clever!" Xu Si's lips curled into a cold smile.
If the convoy had continued to hold out on the hill, it would probably have already had its defenses breached from behind by these five high-level monsters.
The torrential rain pounded on Nirvana's armored plating, producing a dense, drum-like sound.
Xu Si stood in the main control cabin, where the holographic screen projected the battle situation outside into a 360-degree stereoscopic image.
The horde of Crocodile Demons continued their frenzied assault, but Nirvana's barrage of fire held them firmly at the edge of the hill, preventing them from advancing an inch.
[Nirvana] has also reached the 103rd position, just three places away from entering the top 100 of rare items.
But his gaze did not fall on the battlefield.
Star Eyes pierced through the carriage, locking onto the four energy fluctuations that were slowly approaching from the water on the side.
That Crocodile Demon is very clever; this is clearly a trap to lure the enemy.
If it weren't for the Star Pulse Perception covering the entire body of water, Xu Si might have truly been deceived by it.
"Commander, high-energy activity detected on the flank. High level of danger." Nirvana's voice echoed in his mind.
"I saw it."
Xu Si smiled, and a round window on the roof of the car opened, allowing Xu Si to leap out.
He might not be able to defeat that cunning "crocodile demon".
However, he accepted all of these level 4 strange occurrences without question.
That crocodile is very clever.
Xu Si did not choose to launch a direct attack. If that guy were to hide in the shadows and launch a sneak attack on him, he might actually fail.
The torrential rain was blocked by the starlight, and the endless tidal wave of [Crocodile Demons] in the distance did not attract Xu Si's attention at all.
His gaze remained fixed on the four energy points that were constantly moving in the opposite direction.
Under the cover of star veins, the [Crocodile Demon] had vanished without a trace.
Xu Si continued to ascend, like a god, trying to maintain a safe altitude.
With fingers loosely clenched, the dark red energy ball in the palm suddenly stretched and deformed, splitting into four.
It transformed into four scarlet javelins, each nearly three meters long, their shafts wrapped in crimson-gold patterns of destruction, resembling flames from fallen stars.
