Cannon Fodder In Apocalypse: I Rule With Sanctuary Evolution System

Meanwhile, Fu Jing’s eyes flashed with excitement. He quietly murmured, "I want to be like Aunt Ni too."

He clenched his little fists. "I want to make lots of potions."

No one noticed the determined look in his eyes. Meanwhile, Ni Mengxue turned toward Ruo Chiwu. "Keep driving as fast as possible."

"Yes."

The convoy accelerated. For several kilometres, the zombies remained far behind them.

Then, the five-minute duration finally ended. Ni Mengxue’s body immediately relaxed. She slumped against the seat as exhaustion crept in.

Her ice ability had already consumed a large portion of her energy, and the Zombie Repulsion Card had required additional mental strength to activate.

She took out several zombie crystals and quickly absorbed them. Warm energy flowed through her body. After a few moments, the exhaustion gradually disappeared.

Only then did she stand up. She returned to the inner room. When she opened the door, she saw Lu Yucai sleeping.

His face looked tired even in sleep. Ni Mengxue paused. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to disturb him. "Let him rest."

She quietly closed the door and took out her map. Originally, their route had been carefully planned.

They would travel from Brewery Hills to Brown Forest and finally reach Fair Shallow Land.

There were several checkpoints along the way where they could stop, rest, and resupply.

But the sudden confrontation with Cai Shu and the zombie horde had completely disrupted their route. They had already strayed far away from Brewery Hills.

’Next time I will kill her.’ She thought.

Ni Mengxue frowned as she studied the map. There was only one route that could bring them back toward their original path without wasting too much time.

Light Valley. Her expression immediately became complicated. Light Valley had once been a famous tourist destination.

Before the apocalypse, countless people had visited the place every year. But after the apocalypse began, the entire area became a terrifying zombie nest.

For a long time, even powerful mercenary groups had been afraid to enter it. At least, that had been the case until two years ago. Then, something strange happened.

Every zombie in Light Valley mysteriously disappeared. No one knew why, no one knew what had happened there. And because of that, no one dared to take the route.

If something had been powerful enough to wipe out an entire zombie horde, what kind of strange entity could possibly be living there?

Ni Mengxue didn’t want to take that risk. She looked at the alternative routes. They were safer. But they would consume considerably more time.

She frowned. She had originally wanted to maintain a zero-casualty rate. But reality wasn’t going to cooperate with her plans.

The longer they remained on the road, the greater the chances of losing someone. She had two choices.

Take the longer route and potentially sacrifice people because of the prolonged journey, or take the Light Valley route and gamble on whatever had wiped out the zombies there.

Ni Mengxue slowly closed her eyes. "Either way... I’ll have to take a risk."

After thinking for a moment, she walked outside and found Ruo Chiwu. She explained the situation to her. "Can we get to the next checkpoint on the map?"

Ruo Chiwu glanced at the map. "The next checkpoint?"

"Yes."

Ruo Chiwu studied the route before answering. "Yanni Hills. We can camp there for a while and plan our next move before continuing."

Then she smiled. "Besides, we’ve been traveling very quickly."

Ni Mengxue nodded. According to their original plan, they should have only reached about halfway through their route by now.

But the journey had gone far more smoothly than expected. In the beginning, they had encountered surprisingly few zombies.

Their modified RV had also made a huge difference.

The armory, reinforced vehicles, and the cars following behind them had allowed the convoy to clear zombies much faster than ordinary survivors could.

As a result, they had already moved far ahead of schedule. Stopping at a checkpoint for a short while wouldn’t make much difference.

"Alright."

Ni Mengxue nodded. "Let’s go to Yanni Hills."

The convoy soon arrived. When Ni Mengxue stepped outside, she was surprised.

Yanni Hills was beautiful. The hills were covered with lush vegetation. Plants grew everywhere, filling the slopes with greenery that was almost unbelievable in the post-apocalyptic world.

Yet Ni Mengxue didn’t relax. The place was too beautiful. She immediately suspected that the hills were filled with mutated plants and animals.

Sure enough, the moment the convoy entered the hills, the surrounding vegetation began moving. Thick vines rolled across the ground.

Several plant-like creatures twisted their bodies and reached toward the vehicles. Some even launched their vines toward the cars following behind the RV.

Ni Mengxue wasn’t particularly worried about her own RV. She had heavily reinforced it. But the vehicles behind them were different.

They didn’t have the same modifications.

Her expression changed. Just then, the inner door opened.

Lu Yucai walked out. Ni Mengxue turned around. When she saw his tired expression, she smiled. "You should have slept more."

Lu Yucai shook his head.

"I’m fine."

Ni Mengxue didn’t argue. Her attention had already returned to the vines approaching the convoy.

One particularly thick vine suddenly twisted through the air and shot toward the vehicle behind them.

Ni Mengxue immediately raised her hand.

She had specifically modified the RV to leave enough space for her to extend her arm outside and interact with the environment without exposing herself.

Ice energy gathered around her palm. "Freeze."

The cold energy surged outward. The approaching vine instantly froze.

Its green surface rapidly turned white as ice spread from the tip to its roots. Crack!

The frozen vine shattered and fell to the ground. The vehicles behind them passed safely.

Ni Mengxue lowered her hand. However, she didn’t relax.

She stared at the surrounding vegetation with wariness. Her instincts were telling her that something inside the Hills was watching them and waiting to attack them.
