Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse - Chapter 223: The First Law of Anomalies
Chu Che had been frequently activating his ability to sense the presence of Anomalies.
As a Pathfinder, he was exceptionally sensitive to the aura of Anomalies.
However, from last night until this morning, Chu Che had not detected any signs of Anomalies approaching.
In fact, for quite some time now, there hadn't been any powerful, terrifying Anomalies around the Divine Elephant.
The Village Chief said this crisis might come from the sky.
Chu Che also hadn't sensed any Anomalies approaching from the air.
Not only through his Pathfinder senses, but even visually, the sky was clear and boundless at this moment, without a single cloud.
In his perception, the only source of an anomalous aura was this Divine Elephant carrying the village on its back.
Up to this point, he had discovered nothing.
But Chu Che didn't believe they were safe just because of that.
"Anomalies cannot be described, cannot be comprehended, cannot be categorized, and have no fixed nature.
If you already believe you have sufficient experience dealing with Anomalies, believe me, you are not far from death."
These were words he himself had written.
He had always believed that one day, there would be an Anomaly that even a Pathfinder couldn't sense.
He had also been waiting for that day to come.
The Village Chief was a Sequence 3 Blood Path Sacrificer, one sequence level higher than him.
Pathfinders never joke about matters concerning Anomalies.
If the Village Chief says there is one, then there definitely is!
According to the Village Chief, the Pathfinder Sequence 3 ability "Danger Perception" was a very special ability.
Triggering this ability had a certain element of chance.
But once triggered, it could never be a false alarm.
Remembering what the Village Chief had said, that he had seen the death memory of an outsider...
During the meeting a few days ago, the Village Chief mentioned that from that outsider's death memory, he saw many gray human heads flying in the sky.
It was precisely these gray heads that made that outsider's convoy disappear without a trace.
That outsider was just an ordinary survivor.
His death memory couldn't provide much information.
They didn't even know the attack method of those gray heads.
When he encountered the Divine Elephant Village Chief, that survivor's mind was clearly already deranged.
The survivor's mental derangement was obviously also an important piece of information.
Or perhaps... this information was also false?
All information provided by someone already mentally deranged is not necessarily reliable.
But even if that outsider could provide more information, it probably wouldn't be very effective.
Because you cannot use empiricism to deal with Anomalies.
Otherwise, death is not far away!!!
Although they had discussed related matters for many days already.
Chu Che frowned, pondering where exactly the problem lay.
He also planned to go find the Village Chief.
The Village Chief wasn't in his own house at the moment.
He was in the Temple at the village entrance.
He wanted to ask the Village Chief, after all, the Village Chief's sequence level was one higher than his, so he might be able to sense some other information.
Today, Divine Elephant Village was terrifyingly quiet.
The entire village was like a ghost town.
Last night, the Village Chief's assistant, Xiao Zheng, had gone door-to-door notifying everyone not to go outside for the entire day today.
The villagers were very obedient, truly not a single person had come out of their houses.
However, while walking through the streets, Chu Che could sense the pairs of eyes from inside the houses on both sides of the street scrutinizing him through the windows.
The people behind those eyes were mostly middle-aged and young men, with some teenagers and a small number of young children and elderly.
Everyone's gaze was filled with worry and fear.
This feeling had a bit of a horror movie vibe.
"Hey, Squad Leader Chu!"
Chen Ye, one hand gripping the handle of his machete, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, turned out from a street corner.
The stubble on his chin hadn't been shaved for several days, giving him a somewhat disheveled, middle-aged uncle aura.
It wasn't that Chen Ye was intentionally like this, but he simply had no time or inclination to care about his appearance.
Seeing it was Chen Ye, Chu Che immediately relaxed slightly.
"Why are you here?"
Today, the several Superhumans couldn't just sit and wait for death, so everyone had their own assigned patrol areas.
Except for Chu Che and the Village Chief, as Pathfinders, they didn't have much combat ability.
Chen Ye's patrol area was this very street.
This street could be considered the most prosperous street in the entire Divine Elephant Village.
Actually, the entire Divine Elephant Village only had one street.
Most of the buildings on both sides of the street were residential houses, with the occasional one or two drab-looking shops.
These shops also didn't have much stock, being out of goods most of the time, lacking all kinds of supplies.
Image projection was greater than practical significance.
Iron Lion was guarding the area near the Temple and the parking lot.
Of course, the focus was Ding Dong's panel van.
This vehicle contained the ideal grain seeds they had just managed to exchange for with great difficulty.
A batch had already matured a few days ago, causing a small sensation within the convoy.
They did obtain some potatoes and lettuce, which reassured the convoy members considerably.
Thus, Ding Dong's panel van had also become the key protection object for everyone in the convoy.
The second batch was about to be harvested.
It might not be impossible for the convoy to guarantee the most basic vegetable supply by then.
Therefore, Iron Lion was currently standing right on the roof of the panel van, his gaze sharp as electricity scanning the surroundings.
Ding Dong and the Big Monk were guarding the Planting Base.
Inside the Planting Base at this moment, Ding Dong and the Big Monk were each sitting in meditation on one side, appearing very quiet, not disturbing each other.
The Planting Base could be considered heavily guarded.
With three Superhumans present, it was almost impossible for problems to arise.
As for that Taoist priest, he hadn't been seen yet, reportedly having a very important mission.
And the Pink-haired Girl, as the convoy's number one fighter, her task today was rapid response.
Just earlier, she was seen leaping and circling on rooftops with her long legs, never stopping!
After all, in the entire convoy, when it came to speed, no one was faster than the Pink-haired Girl.
Chen Ye had been patrolling all morning, but nothing had happened, so when he ran into Chu Che, he called out to him.
Glancing at the cloudless sky, his expression showed no sign of relaxation: "Squad Leader Chu, you really haven't sensed anything at all?"
Chu Che shook his head: "No, in the sky or on the ground, aside from the Divine Elephant, there's not a trace of anomalous aura!"
Chen Ye thought for a moment and said, "Squad Leader Chu, what if, this time, we've encountered an Anomaly that even you can't sense?"
Chu Che's expression changed slightly: "Although I don't deny the existence of such Anomalies, the probability is definitely not very high. A Pathfinder's sensitivity to the aura of Anomalies is something you other Sequence Superhumans cannot comprehend."
Chen Ye looked around the long street, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.
The Anomalies were becoming more and more terrifying.
That meant humanity's hope was growing increasingly faint.
In that instant, Chen Ye also suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
Maybe...
Forget it, forget it, that move can't be used!
What if...
Too dangerous.
Chen Ye shook his head, shaking that terrifying thought out of his mind, pulling his attention back to the current event.
Pathfinders do not lie about matters related to Anomalies.
Whether it's Chu Che or the Village Chief.
This is a gene engraved into the Pathfinder's Supernatural Power the moment each Pathfinder awakens.
Then there was only one possibility: something must have gone wrong somewhere.
Chen Ye recalled the information the Village Chief had revealed during the previous meeting.
Wanting the convoy's help to resist the crisis, the Village Chief naturally had to tell everyone all the information he knew.
The matter of the Village Chief seeing the death memory of that outsider was naturally told to all the Superhumans participating in the operation.
"During the meeting the other day, the Village Chief said that in that outsider's death memory, there were many flying gray human heads!"
"Logically, these gray human faces should be the Anomalies!"
"The information obtained from the death memory the Village Chief saw is far too little;we simply cannot judge the Anomaly's attack method."
"Even if we knew how that outsider's convoy was erased by the Anomaly, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any experience we could draw from! You can't rely on experience to deal with Anomalies."
Chu Che sighed;this was the first law he himself had summarized.
But it was precisely this first law that also made him feel despair at this moment.
"Squad Leader Chu, is there a possibility!"
"Anomalies have no fixed nature, and Anomalies are also evolving. Maybe during this time, these Anomalies have already arrived in the village."
"We just haven't detected them yet!"
Chu Che's expression was extremely grim.
It wasn't that this possibility didn't exist.
If they truly took that outsider's death memory as the only method of the Anomaly's attack, that would be the most dangerous thing.
Even if you've seen it with your own eyes, you can't use experience to deal with Anomalies.
Right at this moment.
Chen Ye's expression changed slightly, his eyes suddenly fixed on the direction of the street's end, the aura around his entire person also undergoing a change.
Becoming dangerous and alert, his body muscles tensed, facing the street end.
Chu Che's face also instantly turned pale, because he sensed the aura of Anomalies.
Although very brief, but... but... these Anomalies were actually... inside Divine Elephant Village.
Many!
Extremely many!!! ππΏπππ°π²ππ§π π§π²π₯.ππ¨π
What the hell...
When did these Anomalies come up?
I didn't sense a single trace of their anomalous aura?
In just an instant, this feeling of the entire village being filled with anomalous auras disappeared again.
Chu Che was so shocked he didn't know what to say for a moment.
These Anomalies could even conceal their auras?
This situation had never been encountered before.
Chu Che's body slightly retreated, wanting to stand behind Chen Ye.
Who knew Chen Ye had already positioned himself in front, blocking him.
Chu Che wanted to curse, but this was not the time for cursing.
Just then, a person slowly walked into view from the street's end.
It was a barefoot man, very thin, wearing a dirty trench coat covered in blood.
His face, hair, even the knife in his hand were all covered in blood!
With each step the man took, a terrifying bloody footprint was left behind.
The man walked forward, lost and despondent, letting out a horrifying, miserable laugh as he went.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry..."
"I didn't want to, I had no choice!"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
The man also seemed to sense there were people on the street, slowly turning his head, using those unfocused eyes to look at Chen Ye and Chu Che.
Suddenly, the man raised the kitchen knife in his hand and viciously swung it down at his own neck.
This move came completely unexpectedly.
Even as Superhumans, they hadn't anticipated this man would perform this action the next second.
