After the crisis, the convoy rested briefly on the supply bridge.
After repairing the damaged vehicles, the convoy crossed the supply bridge and continued to drive along the main road towards Former Days City.
At this moment, Feng Qi was standing on a truck at the back of the convoy. From time to time, his gaze would drift forward, observing the movements of the various factions.
He was now certain that there were definitely many domain factions lurking in this operation.
Moreover, their goal was the same– obtain the miracle blood stone that they
were escorting this time.
The sudden crisis on the bridge also caused a subtle change in the relationships within the escort team.
Especially the act of fighting for the protection rights of the blood stone just now. It was obvious that the various factions wanted to have the advantage in the competition.
Regarding this, Feng Qi completely let it go.
No matter what the situation was, he would definitely not choose to protect the blood stone with his life.
This was clearly an extremely stupid act.
After all, he and Lu Yue alone were not a match for many domain factions.
Even with the completely trustworthy Qin Shikong and the Sky Pillar Domain Combat Team Group he led, they had no chance of winning against many domain factions.
If Mu Qing was here, they could be slightly more unrestrained.
The problem was that she was not around. Fighting to the death was purely an act of suicide.
This was a sacrifice timeline to begin with. There were more important things to do.
Sacrificing himself to protect the blood stone would not help his other self at all.
Although the blood stone was of extraordinary significance to all of humanity, it clearly could not change the outcome of humanity moving towards extinction. In comparison, it was more important to investigate useful information.
Therefore, he had discussed with Lu Yue that if there was an uncontrollable accident, they would decisively retreat with the members of Dawn.
As for the blood stone, it had nothing to do with him even if the various domain forces fought to the death.
If possible, he even wanted to watch from the side and try to learn which domain forces were behind these domain combat teams.
After the convoy crossed the supply bridge, the two sides of the main road were no longer barren, and there was a noticeable increase in greenery.
As he continued driving, he discovered an interesting scene.
The various factions had clearly shrank the perimeters of their watch area and moved their teams closer to the truck where the blood stone was.
Now, he wanted to know which domain faction would choose to attack first.
The current situation was very delicate.
No one wanted to attack first, but everyone wanted to attack.
Lu Yue, who was standing beside him, turned to look at him.
“Brother Qi, I think that if this subtle stalemate is not broken, no domain faction will choose to come forward at the risk of being focused on. Perhaps the blood stone can be safely delivered into Former Days City.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi smiled and shook his head.
“The probability of this happening is extremely small. Perhaps you haven’t realized how tempting the blood stone is to them. In the information I received, there was a fellow who betrayed the entire race for something similar. It risked being chased by the race to seize a miracle similar to the blood stone.”
“Are you talking about the black shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute?” Lu Yue immediately thought of the domain faction that Feng Qi had told him about.
“That’s right. As for the miracle, in my opinion, it’s a special material used to forge Blackie.”
“The blood stone might not be as valuable as the materials used to make Blackie, but in my opinion, controlling the blood stone is equivalent to obtaining a large number of domain creatures servants that can be controlled at will.. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the ability to ensure that the blood stone is not snatched away by other forces.”
Hearing this, Lu Yue immediately nodded to express his understanding.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly said,
“Brother Qi, do you think it would be better to use the miracle materials used to forge Blackie to forge a sword? This sword might have Blackie’s characteristics you mentioned. For example, it can’t be destroyed, can absorb any kind of energy attack, can be broken down into nanoparticles to simulate any form..”
Hearing Lu Yue’s words, Feng Qi could not help but roll his eyes.
He had a similar idea before, such as taking Blackie as a guardian, so that when the time came, he would definitely be able to do whatever he wanted in the dream world.
However, given the current intelligence and his ability, this idea was clearly unrealistic.
As they chatted, the two of them sat in the truck and started eating lunch.
During the mission, there was naturally no sumptuous food like back in manor. They ate strange-tasting nutritional cream just to simply fill their stomachs.
After lunch, Feng Qi took out a silver-white metal disc from his backpack.
After pressing the switch, a map appeared on the disc. There was also a red dot flashing on the map.
This disc was one of the necessary equipment for the domain combat team outside. It could connect to the satellite to locate their positioning.
As long as they were not in the domain field, after pressing the switch, a map that could shrink and the red dot labeling their current location would appear.
After checking the map, Feng Qi realized that he had already traveled more than a third of the way.
If they continued at this speed, they would reach Former Days City in less than a day.
However, he also knew that as they entered the second half of the journey, there would definitely be domain forces who would not be able to hold back and take action in advance.
This time, he chose to prioritize survival and quietly watch the dogfight.
The truck with the blood stone was still speeding steadily on the main road. The green plants on both sides of the main road gradually increased. There were even lizards, antelopes, and other animals along the way, adding a trace of vitality to the desolate land.
After another two hours of traveling, the convoy drove into a canyon..
