“Huff…Huff…”
The wind blew past his ears, and snow was kicked by the heavy trampling and fell back to the ground.
The world record of a 100-meter running speed was an unprecedented 44km/h.
Of course, this seemed to be an exaggerated figure, not because of having to maintain the speed but because it was only a record for a short period.
It was almost impossible for a human and even an interstellar human to maintain the speed for an hour.
However, the physical restriction was nothing to Su Mo, who had transformed into a swift road lizard.
He could even reach the speed of a car of 60 km/h in a short period if it were not because he was unfamiliar with the terrain and had to travel at night.
“Woah…so refreshing!”
Su Mo felt a rush of adrenaline and an uncontrollable satisfaction as he ran through the wilderness.
He took a deep breath of the cold air and focused on the road straight ahead.
It only took him 30 minutes traveling at such speed to catch up with the truck transporting the supplies.
He slowed down, returned to his human form, and then took out the tablet to observe them.
With the difference in speed, Feng Long and Feng Tianmin, who relied on the strength of the human body to travel, could no longer be seen on the tablet, indicating that they were behind by more than 5 kilometers.
According to the scout robot attached to the truck’s chassis, the truck’s location was 7 kilometers away from Origin Territory.
Counting the extra road in the middle due to the twists and turns on the road, the distance from Origin Territory was about ten kilometers.
However, the team had no intentions of stopping soon, and it was apparent their destination was still far away.
‘There’s a snowy mountain ahead. Are they going to drive the truck through the snowy mountains?’
Su Mo glanced to the distance.
There was a mountain not much inferior to the surrounding snow-capped mountains blocking the view.
According to the truck’s traveling speed, they would reach the mountain in about five minutes if they did not change their route.
Apart from the wider compartments on the truck, there seemed to be nothing special about them, and it was impossible for them to climb the snow-capped mountains.
‘There must be more to it!;
Su Mo climbed to higher ground in the dark wildness and began inspecting the surroundings.
Unfortunately, he could only see the lights from the transportation team and could not see anything strange because it was dim.
The surroundings were the same as before, covered in monotonous snow.
‘I’ll just have to keep following them for now!’
The further the distance, the less likely the soldiers, could rush to assist him.
Luckily, Su Mo had many tricks up his sleeves and was confident he could leave unharmed even if they traveled to a dangerous area.
Nothing else mattered more than keeping track of the transporting team’s specific location.
Su Mo lowered his head and transformed into a swift road lizard. Then, he continued to chase after the transport team.
Five minutes later, the team arrived at the snow-capped mountain. However, they did not stop and began to circle the mountain on a path constructed in advance.
Su Mo quickly left a mark behind for Feng Long and Feng Tianmin, who was still chasing after him and continued to follow after the team.
Twenty minutes later, the trucks were still circling the snow-capped mountain. They would go through a cave and come out the other side.
The trucks drove smoothly despite the complex roads.
It was evident these people were very familiar with the route and had stolen supplies countless times.
‘These people sure are cautious. We’re deep in the mountains, yet they’re still detouring!’
The dark vision made it seem like the trucks had been moving forward through the twisted roads.
However, from the location movement trajectory outlined by the scout robot, it could be observed that the team had traveled the same path at least three times in the last twenty minutes and was about to go through it the fourth time.
The truck traces left in the snow was turned into a mess.
Even Su Mo could not accurately follow the traces without the guidance of the scout robot’s map because it was challenging to identify the precise direction of the trucks.
Su Mo glanced at his watch and saw it was already one in the morning. However, he had no choice but to continue following them in circles.
Hard work does pay off.
Finally, the team completed their seventh lap, stopped traveling in circles, and slowed down gradually.
‘Are we reaching soon?’
Su Mo watched as the trucks slowed down and were about to come to a stop.
He was startled to see the desolate scene where no villages or stores around the area.
He stopped and glanced in the distance.
At the current location, they were still surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
They had merely traveled from the front of the mountain to the side of it, and it was not a great distance.
There were no visible buildings, caves, or depressions in the ground where the trucks stopped that could serve as their supplies storage.
Su Mo watched as the truck slowly drove into a 15-meter-tall mountain and disappeared from his sight.
