Ji Ming's knuckles tightened around the steering wheel, his eyes flicking between the rearview mirror and the road ahead. His voice was low. "That military vehicle's too calm. No signals, no flags, and just silence."
But just as the unease hung heavy in the air, Liora suddenly sat up straight.
"Brake!" she shouted.
In an instant, chaos unfolded.
Ji Ming slammed on the brakes. The Hummer skidded violently, tires screeching against the cracked road as smoke burst out from beneath. Behind them, the military vehicle screeched to a halt, and Yun Shou's team's armored SUV nearly collided with the back of the Hummer.
But it was already too late.
The road ahead was jammed.
A sea of abandoned vehicles stretched endlessly before them, forming a blockade that was too unnatural and too precise.
In the rearview mirror, more horror unfolded.
The back of the highway also sealed slowly as all the heavy vehicles were suddenly pushed onto the road.
