Chen Ye had charged into the darkness with the intent to save people.

In the end, when he discovered that the situation within the darkness far exceeded what he could handle, he turned the people he was about to rescue into "Tails" to divert the attention of those things.

These two actions weren't contradictory.

Within the scope of his abilities, Chen Ye would save whoever he could.

But once he realized that saving people endangered his own safety.

Chen Ye would abandon the rescue without a second thought.

Of course, that wasn't to say Chen Ye hadn't changed at all.

If this had been the old Chen Ye, the concept of saving people would never have occurred to him.

Watching those people being dragged into the darkness, whether dozens or hundreds, the old Chen Ye would have only looked on coldly.

But now...

Perhaps this was the influence of spending so much time with Chu Che and the others.

Or maybe it was the eighteen figures from Divine Elephant Village that Chen Ye could never forget.

Or perhaps it was the collapse of Oasis, with thousands of people having nowhere to flee.

Chen Ye, still shaken, looked to the side.

Dantai Bie had just charged back from the darkness.

This chatterbox was now propping his hands on his knees, greedily gulping down fresh air.

As if he had been severely traumatized.

If you looked closely, you could see that this guy's legs were actually starting to tremble slightly.

Clearly, what he had seen had violently shaken his spirit.

Iron Lion roared as he charged back from the darkness along that glowing marking line.

In just a few seconds, Iron Lion had already activated his transformation ability.

Both the Mad Lion and Iron Lion heads woke up simultaneously.

Both faces still carried some terror.

When they saw Chen Ye, both heads breathed a huge sigh of relief at the same time.

When they saw Sun Xixi and Ding Dong, they also seemed relieved.

It was clear just how dangerous those few seconds of charging into the darkness had been.

If Chu Che hadn't maintained markings on everyone for a long time.

And immediately used his marking ability to guide everyone's way back the moment something went wrong, this time, the Fair Convoy might have lost several Superhumans.

Sun Xixi also came flying back from the darkness on her flying sword.

This energetic woman was now extremely disheveled, her pink ponytail completely loose and draped over her shoulders.

There was no trace left of the female Sword Immortal image.

Her large eyes, black like pearls, darted around, and the moment they landed on Chen Ye.

The worry in her gaze instantly relaxed.

Then she started looking for Iron Lion and Ding Dong.

Thankfully, everyone was fine!

Everyone was fine!

The Pink-haired Girl murmured under her breath.

There was no denying it.

Squad Leader Chu was truly a qualified captain.

The fact that not a single Superhuman in the convoy had been lost so far was largely thanks to Chu Che.

Judging by the expressions on their faces, they had obviously seen something absolutely terrifying the moment they charged into the darkness.

"Damn it, Gong Yong, what the hell are you doing?"

Chu Che rushed over and grabbed Gong Yong by the collar.

The sudden extinguishing of the light had cost the entire convoy more than twenty people.

Twenty people!

This loss was comparable to a major crisis.

This was the first time Chu Che had lost his temper this badly.

Earlier, to save power, the convoy had turned off the headlights on all the other vehicles after Gong Yong had used the Wonder.

If Gong Yong had given a warning when the Kerosene Lamp was about to go out, this problem would never have happened.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!..."

Gong Yong, grabbed by the collar, had a face full of unutterable guilt beneath his full beard.

His face was as red as an eggplant.

Even with Chu Che gripping his collar like this, this guy still kept his head lowered, not daring to look at anyone.

This naturally socially anxious guy was now filled with panic and guilt.

He never imagined that his own negligence would cause something like this.

For him, this was practically a...

Actually, Gong Yong couldn't be completely blamed.

He was a Mechanic.

Ever since entering this Sea of Chaotic Graves, the busiest person in the convoy wasn't Chu Che.

It was this Mechanic Sequence Superhuman.

Whatever Chu Che told him to do, he did.

Whatever Chen Ye told him to do, he did.

Basically, as long as anyone came to him with a request, he never refused.

He was simply the convoy's most soft-hearted guy.

Of course, according to convoy rules, everyone had to pay Gong Yong for repairing and upgrading vehicles.

It was safe to say that this guy would soon become the wealthiest person in the entire convoy.

Gong Yong had been constantly repairing vehicles.

This extremely complex terrain had caused massive damage to Bus Number Six, Bus Number Seven, as well as Iron Lion's school bus and Ding Dong's panel van.

This guy didn't even complain about the repair environment. He actually started modifying Iron Lion's school bus while they were driving, planning to use the available parts and conditions to upgrade it for off-road capability.

And then the Wonder, the "Meddling Kerosene Lamp," was left unattended.

Gong Yong was so focused on upgrading and repairing vehicles that he had no idea how much time had passed.

In truth, if someone had just paid a little more attention, this wouldn't have happened.

Strictly speaking, as the convoy captain, Chu Che also bore some responsibility.

As the convoy supervisor, Xue Nan was also responsible for this incident.

Chu Che knew this logic, understood that it wasn't entirely Gong Yong's fault.

But he still couldn't help losing his temper.

Twenty people!

Only two or three had been saved.

The entire convoy had just over a hundred people.

And now...

How many humans were even left?

Was humanity really going to go extinct?

"Squad Leader Chu, this isn't entirely Mr. Gong's fault. I'm also responsible!"

Xue Nan said with his head lowered.

Looking at Gong Yong's deeply guilty expression, and the guilt on Xue Nan's ugly face.

Chen Ye cut off Chu Che's words: "Squad Leader Chu, this isn't the time to assign blame. We'd better get out of here immediately!"

Chu Che closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he opened his eyes, and there was a certain determination in them.

"All vehicles, maintain formation!"

"Everyone, stay quiet. Without orders, no one makes a sound!"

Hearing Chu Che's command.

The panicked convoy began to tighten its formation.

There was no time for grief over the twenty people who had disappeared into the darkness.

Only a few who were close to them silently shed tears.

"Everyone, listen to my command!"

"After the countdown of three, remember to turn off ALL the lights!"

Turn off all the lights?

This command immediately caused another commotion in the convoy.

"Turn off the lights!? No way, did I hear that wrong?"

"Squad Leader Chu wants us to turn off the lights? This..."

"I must have misheard!"

Even Chen Ye looked at Chu Che in surprise.

There were so many dark figures surrounding the convoy.

If it weren't for the headlights still on.

The loss now wouldn't just be twenty people.

The entire Fair Convoy would probably have been wiped out.

"Everyone, quiet!"

Chu Che's voice was unusually stern.

"I have an ability called Living Person Shielding, which can block the aura of the living."

"In a moment, after I use my ability, no one is to speak, no one is to make a sound, and there must be no light!..."

"Everyone, follow my command. Without my orders, no one acts on their own..."

"Otherwise, the ability will fail, and everyone will die!"

It turned out Chu Che had this ability.

This must be a new ability he gained after advancing to Sequence 4.

He hadn't used it before, likely for his own reasons.

Presumably, this ability also had conditions for use.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Lights out!"
