() After encountering the attack of the armored monster, the speed of the advancing team suddenly became much faster. Some cars in the civilian team that were seriously overloaded or were damaged by monsters were suddenly left behind.

Cui Lie drove the off-road vehicle ahead, and Rong Xianxian and his six-car team overtook each other one by one. Unknowingly, they had arrived at the middle of the civilian convoy.

Occasionally, you can see monsters coming at lightning speed in the jungles on both sides of the road. The people rushing on the road have no intention of fighting, and they keep speeding up to leave the menacing monsters behind.

The car alongside Rong Xianxian's motorcade was a box truck. The truck compartment was not very sturdy. The door of the truck was suddenly knocked open by a monster. The monster's sharp claws grabbed the unlucky guy who was near the door.

"Ah" the unfortunate guy closed his eyes and roared.

Didn't feel...pain

what happened?

He slowly opened his eyes and saw the monster floating in the air in front of the window of the luxurious and cool RV opposite.

There was a ball of light suspended above the ferocious monster just now. The monster fell to the ground with a clatter. A white and tender little hand stretched out from the car window, quickly grabbed the ball of light and retracted it.

In just a flash, the RV on the opposite side accelerated and overtook them.

Listening to the desperate screams and hasty calls for help from time to time in the convoy behind, the unlucky guy who saved his life desperately squeezed into the car.

Not many people saw the scene just now, but Rong Xianxian saw the process clearly through the rearview mirror. The phoenix umbrella in Xuanxuan's hand turned into a spear more than three meters long and nailed the monster who was about to commit murder to the spear. On the tip, he brought it over, took away the treasure that was brushed out, took back the spear, and the monster landed.

Xiao Luo's action just now indeed resolved a trouble, but Xuanxuan's action was unnecessary.

So many people are in danger and cannot be saved. If they are exposed, the gain outweighs the loss.

It seems that I need to talk to them during the break later.

Rong Xianxian continued driving while thinking.

The newly opened route is not straight forward, but a route planned based on the distribution of the detected monsters and the topography.

After the great changes in the world, the wild environment has changed greatly. Not only the vegetation, terrain, and distribution of landforms have made all previous maps useless, but even the distance between the two cities has changed dramatically.

Binyang is the nearest county-level city to Chongzhou and has a garrison. Binyang'an District was established after the end of the world.

It turns out that the distance from Chongzhou to Binyang is only 100 kilometers, or only an hour's drive.

Even though there is no highway to go on now, and we need to bypass areas with dense monster distribution, areas with high mountains and dense forests, and areas with diversion of rivers, but now the convoy ran from early morning to afternoon, in addition to eating a lot of food on the territory of the armored monster. After breakfast, I wasted some time, was a little delayed while traveling, and then was besieged by monsters. Since being besieged, the convoy has been trying to escape, but even so, there is still no sign of Binyang'an District.

Could it be that I took the wrong path?

The seat in the cab of Rong Xianxian's car is an air-suspension seat, which is very comfortable. However, until now, she has been driving in the same position, and her neck feels stiff.

Rong Xianxian secretly guessed, how long will the convoy in front continue to run wildly?

Regardless of the size of the vehicles in the front convoy, most of them are terrain vehicles.

The characteristic of the army is that it is strong and has high defense, and the driving comfort is not as good as her car.

The mercenaries clear the way in front, protect the flanks, and break the road in the back.

In the middle are the regular army soldiers led by Wen Qingming, who are responsible for protecting the mission targets and are the second line of defense.

The six domineering military vehicles protected in the center are made of high-strength bulletproof armor. They are more than ten meters long and nearly three meters high. They are equipped with heavy machine guns on the roof. The control panel originally installed in the cab can control the steering of the machine guns. Load and launch, but because the communication signal problem has never been solved, this panel has become a decoration.

"Grandpa, you see you are so tired. If this continues, your body won't be able to bear it. Let them stop and rest!" In one of the six cars, a beautiful girl in a white dress felt distressed. He supported a gray-haired old man and deliberately shouted towards the cab in front.

The old man closed his eyes and waved his hand gently, signaling her to stop talking.

The pretty girl pouted unhappily and looked toward the cab in front of her with dissatisfaction.

Wen Qingming frowned and looked at the hand-drawn map in his hand.

One place is marked with the words "Iron Armored Monster" in big red, which was just added.

I just passed by the territory of the armored monster and ran for my life in a hurry. The surveyor responsible for drawing the map was attacked by the monster. There was a section in the middle that was not drawn on the map. After thinking about it, I estimated the approximate distance and wrote unknown on the drawing, marked in orange. Then There are intensive attacks from monsters along this section of the road, so the danger is high.

He took out the map he drew when he came back and found that in just a few days, the distribution of monsters and the growth of vegetation had changed significantly.

Wen Qingming looked worriedly at the campsite marked on the map he drew before. He was about to reach his destination. I wonder if this place is safe now?

This journey took nearly twice as long as before.

Besides being a little slower than before, what else has changed?

The convoy stopped in an open grassland, surrounded by flat areas and some low bushes. About 500 meters to the east, there was a gentle stream flowing through.

"Chief of Staff, according to the data obtained from the surveying and mapping reel, this section of the journey is fifty-three kilometers longer than when we came here, and has expanded by one-fifth." The surveyor of the surveying and mapping battalion responsible for detecting the distance between the two places asked. Reported by Wenqing Minghui.

"So, the speed of expansion is accelerating." Wen Qingming asked with an ugly face.

"Yes." The surveyor's face was heavy.

Wen Qingming stood stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and looked at the tired surveyor, nodded and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go and have a rest. Dinner will be served soon."

Previously, in the Beijing New Area, geological experts had proposed the inference that the earth's surface area was expanding by detecting field conditions.

Not only are roads destroyed, rivers rerouted, and surface vegetation changing, but the landscape is also changing. These changes are like the mosaic of the surface being inserted into other plates, and the speed of this mosaic and insertion is accelerating.

The previous expansion rate of the surface area was insignificant, and the distance between the two places did not increase significantly, so this inference is only an inference and is controversial.

But now the change in the distance between the two places in just a few days made Wen Qing clearly believe in the theory of earth expansion.

If so, there will be shortages of fuel, weapons and ammunition, military rations and other supplies they carry.

Wen Qingming had a headache.
