Facing Chen Ye’s money-grubbing expression, Captain Chu just rolled his eyes at him.

“Do you think Wonders are like cabbages? That they’re everywhere on the streets?”

Chen Ye wasn’t embarrassed either, chuckling as he took the book and walked aside, grabbing some snacks from the back seat of the cockpit to munch on.

Opening the book, Chen Ye finally understood what it contained.

Along their journey, Captain Chu had recorded all the Anomalies they encountered.

From the White Dress Scissor Woman they met in Xinghua Town, to the Binding Resentment Willow in Longevity Village, and the God Worshipper at Rong City Second Elementary School.

Reading this, Chen Ye realized just how precious this book was.

The apocalypse had started too suddenly, leaving people with extremely limited research on Anomalies.

When most people encountered Anomalies, their first reaction was to flee, and if they couldn’t escape, they waited for death.

This was the first time Chen Ye had seen something like specialized research targeting Anomalies.

He never expected Squad Leader Chu to quietly be doing this kind of work.

Chu Che had even summarized several laws about Anomalies in the book.

Chen Ye slowly flipped through the pages.

First: Anomalies cannot be described, cannot be comprehended, cannot be categorized, and have no fixed nature.

If you already think you have sufficient experience dealing with Anomalies, believe me, you’re not far from death.

When dealing with Anomalies, empiricism is unacceptable!!!

Second: Anomalies and humans cannot coexist. Either humans completely eliminate all Anomalies, or Anomalies eliminate all humans.

Third: Only Sequence Superpowers can deal with Anomalies.

Fourth: The more people there are, the greater the attraction to Anomalies, and the easier it is to be discovered by Anomalies. Conversely, the fewer people, the safer.

Humans are like sparks to Anomalies – a single spark illuminates a limited area, but a group of people together is like a bonfire that will attract Anomalies from far away to come find you.

Fifth: The longer you stay in one place, the greater the attraction to Anomalies, and the easier it is to be discovered by Anomalies (this is also an important reason why humans now survive through migration).

…

Chen Ye slowly flipped through, noticing many places where Captain Chu Che had deleted and rewritten, rewritten and deleted.

Chen Ye even saw Captain Chu’s classification of Anomalies.

Captain Chu temporarily divided Anomalies into two categories.

One was ordinary Anomalies, which were the most common.

The other was rule-based Anomalies, like the unknown Anomaly they encountered yesterday, and the Paper Crying Child they previously encountered in Xinghua Town.

Captain Chu had even recorded several rule-based Anomalies that Chen Ye hadn’t seen before.

According to Captain Chu’s records.

Rule-based Anomalies were rarer, more powerful, and more despair-inducing than ordinary Anomalies. Even among Superhumans, none had been heard of defeating rule-based Anomalies.

As he read, Chen Ye became completely absorbed.

Chen Ye realized this book’s value was immeasurable.

If they encountered other convoys, this book could definitely be traded for many good things.

Any convoy or individual who obtained this book could significantly improve their survival chances when encountering these Anomalies in the future.

“Hey, stop reading, time to hit the road!”

Just as he was absorbed in reading, he heard Chu Che’s voice.

“Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey! What do you mean hit the road? We’re departing! Departing!”

“I’m saying, Squad Leader Chu, don’t you have any better phrases in your mouth?”

Chen Ye was currently most averse to similar phrases.

Chu Che laughed carelessly, reaching out to snatch the notebook back.

“Wait, I haven’t finished reading it yet.”

“That’s enough, you’ve experienced everything that comes after, reading it doesn’t matter!”

“Let’s go, if we don’t leave now, we won’t make it in time.”

Before getting in the car, Chen Ye glanced at the machete that was upgrading.

Only a few hours had passed.

If possible, Chen Ye would rather wait for the machete to finish upgrading before passing through Fog City.

Unfortunately, that guy Iron Lion probably couldn’t wait that long.

If not for Old Bao, Chu Che would have likely departed long ago.

Just as Chen Ye was about to get in the car, he suddenly heard a bout of violent coughing.

“Cough cough cough…”

Turning around, he saw the convoy assistant Xiao Wang coughing as if he was about to cough his lungs out, his whole body already crouched on the ground from coughing.

“Xiao Wang, are you… okay?”

“I… cough cough cough… I’m fine… Squad Leader Chu…”

After a long while, Xiao Wang finally stood up from the ground, his face completely red, looking as if he had gained an additional layer of lethargy.

Chen Ye looked at Xiao Wang, then at the thick fog around them.

“Squad Leader Chu, don’t you think the fog is thicker now than before?”

Chu Che also looked at the thick fog around them. Previously, the thick fog had visibility of over ten meters, but now it was only about ten meters.

“Squad Leader Chu, do you have any masks?”

Chen Ye, who valued his life, first thought of getting a mask to wear.

This fog seemed somewhat problematic. Regardless, better to get a mask first.

Having one is better than having none!

“Yes, we took quite a few from the church earlier!”

The convoy assistant Xiao Wang quickly rummaged through the car and handed Chen Ye a pack of masks.

Chu Che thought for a moment, then also took a mask and put it on. This thick fog always made people feel somewhat uneasy.

Xiao Wang also put on a mask.

But obviously, thinking of wearing a mask only now seemed a bit late for Xiao Wang, as he kept coughing even while putting on the mask.

This made Chen Ye quietly move further away from this guy.

Although Superhumans’ physical fitness was much stronger than ordinary people’s.

But still, just in case…

The convoy set off, with Chen Ye’s vehicle driving in front and Captain Chu’s vehicle following behind.

There was no helping it – Captain Chu had no combat ability whatsoever.

The only combatant in the convoy was Chen Ye himself.

This made Chen Ye quite reluctant.

But reluctance didn’t change anything.

He still needed Captain Chu to guide the way.

“Hey hey hey… Chen Ye, respond if you receive!”

Chu Che’s voice came through the walkie-talkie.

“Squad Leader Chu, there’s only two of us, is this formal communication really necessary?”

“Remember to maintain contact at all times, and also, don’t drive your vehicle too fast, turn on your fog lights so I can see you! This fog is getting more and more strange. Cough…”

The final cough wasn’t from Squad Leader Chu, but from convoy assistant Xiao Wang beside him.

It sounded even more serious…

“Squad Leader Chu, my vehicle doesn’t have any damn fog lights, just the two front headlights. Just follow closely, that’s all!”

“You must have hazard lights at least!”

“When have you ever seen my vehicle use hazard lights!?”

If this were before the apocalypse, Chen Ye’s vehicle definitely wouldn’t be roadworthy.

The walkie-talkie fell silent.

Chen Ye glanced in the rearview mirror – he could still see Captain Chu’s vehicle.

The two fog lights on the front of the vehicle had quite strong penetration power in such conditions.

In such environments, the role of fog lights became very apparent.

Chen Ye also turned on his two front headlights.

Again, better than nothing.

The moon in the sky was completely invisible now.

Completely covered by the thick fog, not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate through.

The snow on the ground was almost invisible, the temperature had risen considerably, and Chen Ye had already taken off his down jacket and thrown it in the back seat, even taking off the snow boots he had been wearing on his feet.

The humidity in the air had risen dramatically.

Chen Ye could even feel his whole body becoming damp.

Southerners might barely adapt to this weather, but northerners would find it very uncomfortable.

In this kind of humid weather, underwear hung outside would take a month to dry.

The visibility in the thick fog was still decreasing.

Perhaps by tomorrow morning, the visible range would be halved again.

Chen Ye tried to see if his Blood Eye could see further.

But it only improved slightly.

The Blood Eye’s main ability wasn’t vision penetration, so its performance in thick fog was just average.

With low visibility, Chen Ye drove very slowly.

The walkie-talkie occasionally transmitted Chu Che’s directions.

Sometimes it was forward, sometimes it was to stop completely, then suddenly drive a short distance to the left.

They had encountered this situation countless times during previous migrations, and everyone was quite accustomed to it.

Chen Ye didn’t complain about this.

He knew Chu Che was sensing Anomaly positions to avoid them.

Sometimes while driving, when things became clear, a large tree or a wall would suddenly appear ahead.

There was no helping it – Captain Chu couldn’t sense whether there were obstacles ahead.

This kind of driving was quite frustrating.

Fortunately, after the vehicle returned to the highway, this situation gradually improved.

Returning to the highway also meant Fog City was approaching.

Comparatively, Fog City was a larger and more prosperous city than Rong City, and definitely more dangerous than Rong City.

Fortunately, the convoy now had exactly three and a half people at most.

Old Bao only had half a life left anyway, counting him as half a person wasn’t excessive.
