Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379: 214 Can’t Pass! (Third Update)_2

A glint of ferociousness flashed in the man’s eyes, but he put on a facade of being a simple and honest person and said appeasingly, "We really mean no harm. We set up this roadblock just to warn people coming here that the road ahead is completely impassable."

Bai Ye didn’t believe his words at all and asked without a change in expression, "The road ahead is impassable? What do you mean by that? Elaborate."

The man didn’t hesitate to explain, "There’s a huge earth sink ahead, it’s turned into a deep pit. The road is broken, you can’t get across it! If you don’t believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

The last sentence was added because he was afraid Bai Ye wouldn’t believe him.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye said, "Move your roadblock, we’ll go up ahead and see for ourselves."

At his words, someone became anxious, "Hey! You’re really going to try and cross? There’s a huge hole there, your vehicle simply won’t be able to get through!"

With this statement, Bai Ye grew even more suspicious and said sternly, "Move aside if you don’t want to die!"

His words were quite rude. These people who were blocking the road were no pushovers, used to bullying others. How could they take such an insult? As soon as he spoke, they all gripped their weapons tighter, and the four with guns seemed as if they would rather greet them with bullets!

However, it was the burly man who was presumably their leader noticed something was amiss. He quickly turned his head and glared sternly at the people behind him, hissing in a low voice, "What are you doing? Put your weapons down! Do you all have a death wish?" He said this, pressing his voice even lower, to an almost inaudible level for anyone else, and continued, "Don’t be reckless. The ones who have come this time are not ordinary people. Offending them will do us no good. Since they want to go, just let them. After all, we haven’t lied; they will see once they get there."

The robust man was a Level 1 Superpower User, his superpower belonging to the Power System, and he evidently held great authority in front of his subordinates. As soon as he finished speaking, though some were still dissatisfied, no one dared to argue, and they obediently moved the roadblock aside.

Bai Ye gestured to the driver to drive on. As they passed by the burly man, he specifically thanked him, and then the vehicle drove past these people.

In the moment of passing by, wary of any deceit or sudden attack from the other side, everyone heightened their vigilance and tensed their minds. They each selected their opponents, ready to kill them instantly should they show the slightest sign of ill intentions.

So, his anger subsided, and he explained patiently, "You all remember the car from before, right? All off-road, luxury vehicles! Two of them were even specially modified. Does just anybody have cars like that? Plus, they’ve come from somewhere else, and although we don’t know exactly how far they’ve traveled, did you see their vehicles? Barely any scratches on them! What does that tell you? It means either they haven’t encountered zombies, or their strength is sufficient! And the bullet from before, have you forgotten? There’s at least one sharpshooter in their car! And that guy who was talking, he’s no easy target either! We have to be careful with this group!"

With this explanation, the others suddenly understood, then looked at him with admiration, filling him with a sense of pride.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye, Fang Yuxin, and the others continued on their way and soon saw the road ahead had indeed collapsed, with an area as large as a football field having completely sunk, forming a giant pit.

On either side of the road were mounds about three to four meters high, not too tall. Once the sinkhole had formed, half of the hillside had collapsed into it, leaving a jagged edge.

The mounds were originally covered with vegetation, but now much of it had withered away, adding to the desolation.

The mounds weren’t tall, and one could easily walk around them, but doing so with vehicles was impossible. They had a Space Superpower User with them, who could easily store the vehicle in their space, circle around this segment of the road, and then continue on their way. But for others, this wouldn’t be an option, no wonder those people set up the roadblock.

However, no one believed they had good intentions! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, come and vote your support at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
