"The bridge, the bridge is gone..."
Sharp, desperate, terrified screams drifted unsteadily across the wobbling bridge.
Even Chen Ye felt his hair stand on end from that scream.
He turned to look.
At the very back of the line, the man with the rope tied around his waist had collapsed in terror, crawling forward on all fours.
Behind the man, the bridge that should have been there had vanished without a trace.
The bridgehead was still there, but the part they had just walked across was gone.
No matter who saw this, their heart felt like it had been doused with a bucket of ice water.
Their first thought was: It's over!
The bridge is gone...
Everything is finished...
Everyone is going to die!
The Superhumans managed to stay relatively calm because they noticed the bridge wasn't collapsing into the abyss even after the missing section.
This wooden bridge was still a wooden bridge.
It was as if the vanished section of bridge had simply disappeared from sight.
Aside from not being able to see the bridge deck, nothing had changed.
But the ordinary survivors were panicking.
The one at the very back who had first discovered the bridge was gone went charging forward like crazy, trying to get away from the broken section.
His actions quickly triggered a chain reaction.
The other survivors also lost their heads.
They scrambled forward in panic too.
No one wanted to fall off the bridge.
It was only a bottomless chasm down there...
But every single one of these people had ropes tied around their waists. One person panicking would inevitably affect the others.
In an instant, the people at the very back of the convoy fell into chaos.
"Ah...!"
Another scream pierced the empty mountain valley, sending the light mist between the peaks churning violently.
In the midst of the commotion, a woman fell from the vanished section of the bridge.
The woman looked down at the unfathomably deep abyss beneath her feet, felt the cold mountain wind, and was instantly scared out of her wits.
Her scream tore through her throat and pierced everyone's eardrums.
The rope around the woman's waist managed to hold her.
But it also dragged down the person connected to her. The sudden pull yanked the other person downward too!
"Ah... help!"
Screams rose and fell one after another.
In an instant, a second person was pulled off the vanished bridge by gravity.
The two people hanging beneath the bridge increased the tension on the rope.
It was like an iron chain being thrown into a well from the mouth - the immense pulling force was impossible for ordinary people to resist.
Even if someone realized the situation was wrong and tried to hold onto the rope that was being pulled down,
most people were panicking and just wanted to get as far away as possible.
Some even pulled out knives from their pockets, wanting to cut the ropes to avoid being dragged down.
The chaos on the bridge was now completely out of control.
And because of their panic, the bridge kept swaying violently back and forth, making even the other survivors start to panic too.
"Run, why are you just standing there stunned?"
"Wuwuwu... I... I can't move my legs, I can't run!"
"Useless!"
"Let me go, let me go, I don't want to die!"
"... "
Xue Nan reacted quickly. He grabbed Old Bao's loudspeaker and shouted at the top of his lungs!
"Don't run, don't be afraid!"
"Don't panic, follow orders!"
Unfortunately, the Supervisor Xue who usually struck fear into the convoy now had no one listening to him.
The group at the back of the convoy was still struggling, and the number of people who had fallen off the bridge had reached five.
The tremendous pulling force was something ordinary people simply couldn't hold.
Just then, everyone felt the bridge shake violently.
They saw a massive figure land swiftly at the very back of the convoy.
It was Iron Lion...
This guy grabbed the rope being pulled downward with all four arms.
His entire body's muscles vibrated slightly.
Even Iron Lion was being dragged downward by the force.
It wasn't that Iron Lion wasn't strong enough.
It was that the bridge deck couldn't provide enough support and friction for him.
If there was a proper foothold,
the weight of five people, or even ten, wouldn't be a problem for Iron Lion at all.
"Yezi!"
Iron Lion couldn't help but roar.
Chen Ye's Blood Eye narrowed slightly. He kicked the space under the steering wheel, and his entire body transformed into green smoke, vanishing on the spot.
An tentacle reluctantly emerged from the storage compartment beside him and took the wheel.
Another arm pressed down on the brake.
Inside the car, there was only a faint wisp of green smoke.
This was the result of Chen Ye's relentless teaching to the Monster Pickup Truck over these past few days.
The Little Monster could only manage this much.
The convoy was in complete chaos.
Especially when it looked like Iron Lion was about to be dragged down too.
Amidst the swirling green smoke, Chen Ye appeared.
Smoke Breath quickly formed a platform beneath the vanished bridge deck, complete with stairs.
It caught the several survivors who had fallen off the bridge.
At the same time, several faceless humanoid simulations appeared in front of and behind Iron Lion.
These simulations grabbed the rope and pulled it back with all their might.
Sun Xixi and Dantai Bie had originally wanted to come up and help too.
But seeing that Chen Ye had already taken control of the situation, they didn't step in for the moment and instead turned to stabilize the surrounding situation.
The chaos in the convoy quickly settled down.
In this kind of situation, Chen Ye's abilities were still the most suitable.
The surroundings were still in turmoil, and the nearby survivors immediately distanced themselves from the two of them.
Not a single person came up to help.
Except for those tied up by the ropes.
Moreover, the bridge was still slowly disappearing.
And this rate of disappearance adjusted according to how fast the people at the very back of the convoy moved backward.
Obviously, the people at the very back of the convoy were Iron Lion, Chen Ye, and their group.
This group was currently busy rescuing people, barely moving at all, so the bridge's rate of disappearance was very slow.
But it wasn't completely still.
As Superhumans, they quickly understood the bridge's rules.
The rate of disappearance adjusted according to how fast the last person in the convoy moved.
If they stopped moving entirely, that last person would also fall off the bridge.
Finally, Iron Lion pulled all the people who had fallen off the bridge back up.
Chen Ye's bloody eyes fixed on the guy who had panicked first, his expression icy cold.
That guy had already cut his rope and hidden himself in the crowd.
When he saw Chen Ye's gaze coming toward him, he tried to hide deeper in the crowd.
Seeing this, the people around quickly avoided Chen Ye's eyes, exposing this guy under Chen Ye's bloody stare.
The man looked left and right, his legs trembling.
"Thud..."
The man's knees went weak, and he collapsed directly to his knees...
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen... I... I didn't mean to, I was too scared at the time... too scared..."
"I..."
Chen Ye sneered, forcing the words out through gritted teeth: "I've never been one to be reasonable. Consider yourself unlucky for this incident..."
With that, Chen Ye directly kicked the guy off the bridge.
The entire process was ruthless, without even a trace of humanity.
A rope was immediately thrown out, wrapping around the man's waist. The other end of the rope was directly tied to the tow hook at the back of Sun Xixi's car.
Sun Xixi shot Chen Ye a reproachful look.
It was like she was saying: That's enough! Squad Leader Chu said no killing!
Chen Ye ignored Sun Xixi's look. He turned his head, his eyes cold and sinister as he stared at everyone present.
"You all know, I'm the most unreasonable person."
"Whoever causes trouble, I don't care about the reason. Just don't fall into my hands."
"You..."
Chen Ye pointed at a cowardly guy hiding at the very back of the crowd.
The guy he pointed at shuddered violently, and a vacuum quickly formed around him.
"M-Mr. Chen..."
Chen Ye sneered coldly: "You cut your rope the fastest just now. This time, you'll walk at the very end."
"Ah~~~"
The man trembled all over, his face turning ashen.
