Chapter 7 Minor Twists and Turns
Xu Wenchu led the convoy for a full two hours before stopping.
[Attention everyone! We're stopping for a 30-minute break. The convoy will resume after that!]

[Attention everyone! We're stopping for a 30-minute break. The convoy will resume after that!]
Hearing that he could stop and rest, Zhao Hai's expression relaxed considerably. After all, driving for two hours straight was quite tiring for him.
After the car stopped, Zhao Hai couldn't help but recall the reminder Xu Wenchu had given Su Wanyue through the loudspeaker three hours earlier.
"It seems that Xu Wenchu has some understanding of the strange rules, but the caravan has never encountered strange rules before. I don't know where Xu Wenchu learned about the weaknesses of those strange rules!"
"As expected, superhumans still possess a lot of information that ordinary people don't know!" Zhao Hai thought to himself.
"It's him! It's him! I saw that weird doll run out of the house he had previously searched. Not long after he came out, the doll weirdly ran out of his house."
"Sister Wanyue, I suspect he's also possessed by a supernatural entity! Or rather, he's being controlled by one!"
Zhao Hai had just stopped the car to take a break when he saw through the car window a middle-aged man talking incessantly to Su Wanyue while pointing at Zhao Hai's car.
A nearly thirty-year-old tattooed thug calling a twenty-year-old girl "sister" would have been a laughing stock in pre-apocalyptic times.
But in this apocalyptic world, no one would laugh at this middle-aged man.
In this apocalyptic world, as long as you establish a relationship with an extraordinary person and get their favor, it's not surprising to hear them address you as "brother" or "sister," or even "father," "mother," or "ancestor."
This is the status and power of extraordinary individuals in the apocalypse.
"Are you sure you saw with your own eyes that shortly after Zhao Hai came out, the candy doll ran out of the room he had been in?" Su Wanyue asked.
"Sister Wanyue, I'm sure I didn't see wrong. I was collecting supplies from the house next door!" The middle-aged man nodded.
Su Wanyue remained calm and didn't say anything more, continuing to walk towards Zhao Hai's car.
Zhao Hai had heard what the tattooed thug said, and his face darkened upon hearing it!
When they passed through a village, they encountered a strange entity there. Surprisingly, this entity could control others.
While they were collecting supplies, the strange creature took control of two ordinary people in the convoy.
After the convoy left the village, the two people who had been controlled tried to kill Xu Wenzhu while he was resting, but Xu Wenzhu discovered their plan.
As for the fate of those two, it goes without saying.
Seeing Su Wanyue come over, Zhao Hai's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant. He had indeed been in the same room as the candy doll, and he hadn't expected that this scene would be noticed by others.
He was now somewhat worried that Su Wanyue knew he had been in the same room as the strange creature and suspected he might be controlled by it. If that were the case, given Su Wanyue's personality, it wasn't impossible for her to kill him.
Although Zhao Hai looked unwell, he still got out of the car first when he saw Su Wanyue approaching and greeted her, "Hello, Sister Wanyue!"
"Zhao Hai! You just heard it too, this man said that when you were collecting supplies, you were in the same room as that weirdo. I'm asking you, how did you get rid of that weirdo?"
Su Wanyue ignored Zhao Hai's polite greeting and asked directly.
"Sister Wanyue, I was also startled when I first encountered that strange creature. However, since it didn't attack me but instead kept asking me for candy, I gave it the White Rabbit milk candy I had on me."
Then I tried to get away from it, and seeing that it didn't seem to be chasing me, I immediately ran away! Zhao Hai said with lingering fear on his face.
Su Wanyue maintained her calm demeanor and spoke softly:
"Come with me to find Captain Xu!"
She didn't waste any words, and her tone was unquestionable, leaving no room for resistance.
Zhao Hai didn't know why Su Wanyue wanted to take him to find Xu Wenchu, but in front of a superhuman, he had no choice but to bow his head.
"Yes, Sister Wanyue!"
Immediately afterwards, Su Wanyue led Zhao Hai to Xu Wenchu's SUV.
"Wanyue, what's wrong?"
"Captain Xu, I heard from others that Zhao Hai and that Candy Doll were in the same room, and that Candy Doll came out not long after he came out."
However, I heard him say that he gave the candy doll a White Rabbit milk candy, and the monster stopped chasing him. Although I feel it should be fine, I still brought it over for you, Captain, to take a look. After all, we experienced someone being controlled by the monster once before, so it's better to be cautious this time!
"That candy doll doesn't seem to have the ability to control people, but since you've said that, Wan Yue, we should definitely be careful." Xu Wenchu nodded with a smile.
Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, make a cut on your finger and drip a drop of blood onto my hand!"
Seeing the worry on Zhao Hai's face, Xu Wenchu smiled and said, "Don't worry! As long as you put a drop of blood on my hand, I can use my sequence ability to sense whether you are being controlled by the strange entity."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai nodded, gently pierced his left index finger with the arrowhead of the crossbow at his waist, and then placed his index finger above Xu Wenchu's right palm.
The small cut on Zhao Hai's index finger dripped down his finger and onto Xu Wenchu's palm.
"Alright, that's enough! Zhao Hai wasn't controlled by the strange entity!"
After hearing what Xu Wenchu said, Zhao Hai withdrew his left hand and did not stop the bleeding from his index finger.
He only made a small cut, slightly larger than a needle prick. With such a small cut, his platelets could stop the bleeding on their own, so there was no need for special intervention.
"Alright, Zhao Hai, you should go and rest now!"
Hearing Xu Wenchu's tone of dismissal, Zhao Hai also spoke up:
"Okay! Captain Xu, Sister Wanyue, I'll go rest now, I won't disturb you any longer!"
"Um!"
Afterwards, Zhao Hai returned to his car, but he also remembered the tattooed thug.
Seeing Zhao Hai return to his car unharmed, the tattooed thug who had been observing from the sidelines looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
