The Devouring Beasts, who had been chasing the transport vehicle for a while, noticed something and stopped and retreated, no longer pursuing it.
This looks like we've entered the territory of a high-niche beast.
All of this was observed by Bai Yuekui's team from Dragon Bone Village.
Chapter 55 What did you understand?
Recalling Lin Yuan's previous performance, Sui Xing was secretly alarmed.
As the team's ranged damage dealer, she naturally knew the difficulty of Lin Yuan's previous maneuvers.
The last time they observed from a distance, Lin Yuan, who still possessed the two-tomoe Sharingan, was unable to control Erica's Gatling gun so easily.
Despite the Gatling gun's astonishing bullet velocity, Lin Yuan was still able to accurately hit every flying beast.
They even took the time to attack the Devouring Beasts that were chasing after them.
Comparing the two, she quickly came to a conclusion.
Lin Yuan's shooting skills have improved significantly compared to before.
There's another point that Erica and Ran Bing might not realize.
But Shattered Star could see it clearly.
That long sword that can fly in the sky and carry out "automatic attacks" is something that current technology simply cannot achieve.
That's clearly the effect of the source potential!
The more carefully he pondered it, the more surprised and puzzled he became.
What exactly is that guy's source potential, and why does it have so many uses?
Shandong took a bite of dry rations to calm his nerves and said:
"Sure enough, they went in from below the cave entrance, and that direction is right in front of our Green Grassland!"
At this moment, Bai Yuekui's team finally confirmed their own guess.
Lin Yuan's transport truck was heading to the Longgu Village Ecological Base.
I never imagined that just a few people and one car could get through the interstellar dock and arrive at the ecological base.
Moreover, the main force among them was clearly only Lin Yuan, yet he was able to break through the beast horde without taking any damage, which was simply terrifying.
"Boss Bai, what should we do?"
Xu Tong looked at Bai Yuekui, "Should we send someone there to prepare for battle?"
Lin Yuan's strength was somewhat unexpected. If a fight broke out, there was a high possibility of casualties if Bai Yuekui didn't intervene.
Shandong stroked his chin and said, "The only real threat is that kid with the Gatling gun. The two girls are not worth worrying about, and that old guy is probably just a logistics guy. He has trouble even firing a gun."
"We have enough intelligence. As long as we make sufficient preparations, taking them down will not be difficult."
They were already prepared for battle on their own.
It's not that I'm targeting Lin Yuan and his group, it's just that in this apocalypse, you can't easily trust others.
"Shattered Star, you should have noticed that just now, right?"
A thoughtful look flashed across Boss Bai's eyes as he turned to look at Sui Xing.
Lin Yuan is indeed somewhat special; perhaps he is the variable.
Shattered Star nodded and said seriously, "They attacked the hand that was reaching out from the ruins directly, and they weren't surprised when they found it was a mimicry of a Beast. They clearly knew from the beginning that it was a trap."
"Although the old man can still move around and perform logistical work, he has no combat capability whatsoever."
"Based on initial assessments, they are cautious, decisive, capable, and also care about the elderly. If we could get them to join Longgu Village, it might be a good thing."
When it came to caring for the elderly, the group subconsciously glanced at Bai Yuekui, secretly grumbling to themselves.
In terms of age, Boss Bai is older than that old man.
Sensing their gazes, Bai Yuekui remained calm, but a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, causing them to nervously look away.
"Send people over to be on guard, to find out their true intentions, and at the same time prepare to lure them into Longgu Village. We will also rush over there to avoid any casualties."
"Also, to avoid missing the deadline, I'll drive this time."
Bai Yuekui said.
The group trembled with fright and hurriedly fastened their seatbelts.
Boss Bai's driving skills are not bad, but she just can't resist the urge to race!
This isn't about being afraid of not making it; it's clearly that they've been discovered secretly knowing her age and are now settling a personal score!
Amidst the terrified screams of the crowd, the car launched itself with astonishing speed, hurtling towards Lin Yuan's transport vehicle.
.........
After the transport vehicle shook off the Brute, Erica, inside the gravity chamber, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Finally, we've shaken off those guys. It's strange, though, why did those Devouring Beasts suddenly stop chasing us?"
The battle she had just fought had her heart in her throat.
The bear-beast didn't enter the tunnel, which was fortunate, but something still felt off.
Ran Bing drove the car, her expression somewhat solemn.
"We may have entered the territory of a more powerful Devouring Beast. Everyone, please be careful."
Lin Yuan stood on the truck bed and suddenly looked back, his short black hair fluttering in the wind.
"Lin Yuan, what are you looking at?"
Erica looked somewhat puzzled.
Lin Yuan smiled and said meaningfully, "I'm waiting for a woman who's even older than Old Fu."
After shaking off the pack of beasts, he vaguely sensed a vehicle following behind.
If I'm not mistaken, Bai Yuekui's team must have discovered the traces he left behind and followed him.
"Older than me?"
Old Chenmin, also known as Old Fu, pointed to himself, looking somewhat surprised.
He is already sixty years old this year.
How old must a woman be if she's older than me?
"Yes, her hair is even whiter than yours."
Lin Yuan smiled.
Bai Yuekui is indeed older than Lao Fu.
She was a genius neuroscientist before the catastrophe, and she was only 19 years old when she performed a brain transplant on her teacher.
Even now, 51 years later, the lighthouse still looks like a young girl.
"Lin Yuan, do you mean someone is following us?"
Ran Bing looked somewhat surprised, not expecting that there were actually humans in the core ecological area.
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "This is their territory. Before going in, we should go and say hello first."
After all, they were people from the Lighthouse, and they also had armed forces, which posed a certain threat. Moreover, they headed straight for their ecological base.
I suspect that Boss Bai is already wary of me.
Or rather, in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, people should naturally exercise caution towards each other.
"Say hello... I understand, leave the rest to me!"
Ran Bing's expression became even more serious. "Now that we know someone is following us, and the route is the same, counter-tracking is a very easy thing."
"I understand too!"
Erica's face tightened, her expression immediately darkening. She put on the gravity mask, ready to fight at any moment.
Obviously, Lin Yuan's so-called greeting was not what it seemed to mean literally.
Are we now preparing for a potential conflict?
Although they didn't want to fight, the events that had happened before had consistently proven that Lin Yuan's choices were correct, which led them to trust Lin Yuan unconditionally.
"I understand now. Don't worry about this old man.
Old Fu recalled movies and TV shows from before the Great Cataclysm and became tense as well.
It seems we're about to have to fight a fierce battle with the ground forces.
Should they capture the pursuing patrol team to demonstrate their strength and use it as leverage in negotiations with ground forces?
As expected of Lin Yuan, as expected of the Wilderness Hunter, what a magnificent spirit!
However, if an old lady who is even older than me has to come out on patrol, I guess she's not very strong.
I hope everything goes well.
"No... what do you understand?"
Looking at everyone's expressions, Lin Yuan gave a helpless twitch of his lips.
Chapter 56 Meeting with the Dragonbone Village Forces
Ran Bing changed the direction of the transport vehicle according to the predicted route.
She parked her car behind some ruins and waited for Bai Yuekui's team to arrive.
Everyone was a little nervous, as this was the first time in a long time that they had officially met with ground forces.
Meanwhile, some members of Bai Yuekui's team also noticed something amiss.
Sui Xing's expression shifted, as if he had sensed something, and he suddenly called for a halt with a serious expression:
"Boss, they've found us, and they're coming after us instead."
After her potential was unleashed, she gained abilities similar to a human radar.
Therefore, after Ran Bing changed direction, Sui Xing quickly realized the problem.
Xia Dou suddenly panicked and looked at the others who had solemn expressions.
Aside from Shattered Star and the extremely defensively powerful Silent One, their team is even better at dealing with Devouring Beasts.
Furthermore, his abilities only come into play when he controls the Devouring Beast.
But there are no Devouring Beasts here that can be controlled.
In this situation, I am completely useless.
After driving for a while, Bai Yuekui suddenly stopped the car, his expression remaining unchanged.
"That's enough, let's go downstairs."
The meaning is clear: now that they've discovered us, we might as well meet them.
Upon hearing this, the others grabbed their weapons and got out of the vehicle.
Shandong looked somewhat worried. "Boss, you'd better restrain yourself later. Taking action now will accelerate cell depletion!"
Bai Yuekui paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
........
"They stopped the car."
Ran Bing's face darkened, and she looked at the radar on the screen and asked:
"Lin Yuan, what should we do next? Should we fight?"
"Huh? You mean us?"
Lin Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
He had already reassured them beforehand, but Ran Bing and Erica were still somewhat skeptical.
But this is normal.
