Time ticked away slowly, and on the battlefield, the cacophony of bird calls gradually subsided.

Under the relentless slaughter by a host of evolved corpse puppets, the fearless giant birds were completely massacred.

At this moment, the battlefield was a sea of crimson blood. The scorched bird corpses in front of the convoy had piled up into a small mountain, emitting a pungent odor. Sparks danced as searing waves of heat emanated from the pile of corpses, sweeping in all directions.

Da Pang, Er Pang, and other tank-type corpse puppets were all now covered in blood, becoming blood-drenched beings, with giant bird blood, shredded flesh, and feathers clinging to them.

Especially Er Pang, who stood at the front, his iron rod encased in blood and feathers at both ends; countless giant birds met their end under this iron rod.

Moreover, the giant bird carcasses under Er Pang's feet had accumulated in a thick layer, reaching up to Er Pang's knees. The blood flowing from the corpses gathered and slowly trickled down the hill, resembling a miniature blood waterfall.

The convoy at the rear was now coated in a layer of blood mud formed by blood and flesh, with most vehicles bearing a layer of blood and shredded flesh on top.

Suddenly, the overwhelming smell of blood pervaded the surrounding space, as if turning this mountain road into a terrifying world akin to a bloody hell.

"Finally, it's over!"

Hearing the bird calls outside cease, Zhao Lin, who was cowering inside the car, felt a surge of joy and quickly thought about rolling down the car window for a breath of fresh air.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the window was rolled down a bit, revealing a sliver of opening, a nauseating stench rushed in.

"Ugh~ It's too smelly."

Zhao Lin's face changed instantly, nearly throwing up, and she hurriedly rolled the window back up with a look of utter defeat.

Next to her, Ji Ruxue looked at Zhao Lin with a gaze akin to looking at an idiot, feeling speechless.

"Mrs. Zhao Lin, I think we'd better not go outside just yet; let's leave the outside tasks to Dad!"

Ji Ruxue advised, thinking that going outside now was just seeking misery.

Having recovered somewhat, Zhao Lin nodded quickly, "Okay, Little Qiqi, I'll listen to you!"

Having been thoroughly overwhelmed by the stench earlier, Zhao Lin didn't wish to experience it again.

Lu Chuan, recalling Zhao Lin's ordeal earlier, allowed a slight corner lift of his mouth, and then he focused his mind and began to maneuver the corpse puppets to clean the battlefield.

The first task was to harvest all the crystal cores from these giant birds.

Subsequently, he cut up some of the more intact body parts of the giant birds, collecting the pristine wings to take away.

Soon, after directing a few corpse puppets to simply clean the blood mud composed of blood and flesh off the convoy's front windshield, the convoy made preparations to set off.

Lu Chuan naturally knew that many vehicles in the convoy were filthy with blood and fleshy debris.

However, now was not the time to clean these things; he decided to wait until they reached the city and settled down to deal with them.

Clearing away the pile of corpses in front of them, the convoy set off again with the target—the city district of Shanchuan!

The convoy rolled on unsteadily and hadn't traveled far when an earth-shattering roar was heard. A striped giant tiger had been attracted by the bloody scent emanating from the convoy.

Roar~

The striped giant tiger let out a fierce roar, its massive body leaping out of the forest, mouth agape, charging forward.

Swoosh!

The next moment, a streak of blood-colored lightning shot out, striking directly upon the giant tiger, instantly causing its enormous body to explode, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Within the blood mist, a second-tier crystal core flew out of the shattered skull, emitting dazzling rays in the air.

The Undead One on the vehicle roof swiftly jumped down, flesh and tentacles caught the crystal core, and its body leaped back onto the roof, its speed astonishing.

The convoy's speed remained unchanged as it continued forward at a steady pace. A mere second-tier mutated fierce beast was not worth Lu Chuan stopping the convoy to deal with.

Following this, the convoy's bloody scent became like a beacon in the dark night, constantly attracting various mutated fierce beasts. Seeing the advancing convoy, they launched attacks indiscriminately, unable to resist the allure of the intense bloody scent.

However, the strongest of these mutated fierce beasts was only tier three. Such strength was fragile as paper before Lu Chuan's tier four and five corpse puppets, shattering upon contact, akin to moths drawn to flame, seeking their own demise.

All along the way, at intervals, the convoy would leave behind piles of shattered bones.

As time passed little by little, and the convoy journeyed for an unknown duration, Zhao Lin and Ji Ruxue in the rear had already fallen asleep, leaning against their seats.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lu Chuan held a map, comparing it against the convoy's route to ascertain the distance remaining to Shanchuan City's district.

"This is the junction of Hongshan Town, indicating we are close to Shanchuan City district!"

Looking at the mountain road stretching into the distance beside the road, Lu Chuan felt a jolt of excitement, realizing they were close.

Through the blood-smeared and somewhat blurred windshield, Lu Chuan could see the faint silhouette of the city in the distance, a smile appearing on his face.

It seemed that tonight, they wouldn't need to consider spending the night in the wilderness, as they would soon reach Shanchuan City district.

Soon, in just ten minutes, the convoy followed the roadway, arriving at the city's outermost perimeter.

With the mutated giant turtle paving the way up front, pushing aside the cars blocking their path, the convoy traversed unhindered, starting to slowly penetrate the urban area.

They hadn't gone far when Lu Chuan was drawn by the beastly roars and bird cries coming from within the city.

"What's happening? How could there be so many beast calls in Shanchuan City district?"

Lu Chuan was somewhat surprised, furrowing his brow, then began observing the roadside situations through the perspectives of his evolved corpse puppets.

Screech!

A bird call sounded, and a fierce bird, resembling a duck yet seven or eight times larger, took flight from the rooftop of the nearby fifth floor, flapping its wings, flying to a rooftop not far away.

Instantly, the few fierce birds on that rooftop were attracted, quickly soaring into the sky, converging with that fierce bird, emitting waves of joyful cries.

Soon after, between two buildings nearby, a pair of fierce birds resembling sparrows but the size of a grown cat swiftly fleeted across the top of the convoy, grabbed a few pieces of shredded flesh, and quickly fled.

Meanwhile, a residential complex several hundred meters away, visible through its iron fence.

Near the green bushes of the complex, a few mutated black deer paused, their long antlers piercing the sky.

At present, these mutated black deer were nibbling on leaves while keeping their ears pricked up, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

Moving deeper into the city, Lu Chuan saw more and more fierce beasts, leaving him utterly amazed.

This Shanchuan City district, like the previous forest, was truly a domain overrun by fierce beasts!
