Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 101 Ambush! The convoy meets! They're not good people!
"Of course we'll ambush them here!" Chu Sheng said confidently.

"If we can't find an ambush, then we'll just set off. At worst, we'll be more cautious. What's there to hesitate about?!"

Zhu Qing chimed in, "Chu Sheng is right. Let's try to ambush them here. If it doesn't work, we'll just leave."

Hui fell silent upon hearing this. Why hadn't he thought of this option?

Only children make choices, of course adults do too.

Although Chu Sheng had enlightened him, he still looked at An Xi and Old Man Li, "What about you two?"

Ah Xin was not within the scope of his inquiry; An Xi would tell her herself.

After a moment's thought, An Xi agreed with Chu Sheng's statement, "I also think it's better to do more preparations here."

Although she was confident in her combat abilities, she did not know who the opposing team was or what kind of unit they belonged to.

Therefore, she didn't dare to be overconfident at all.

Who knows if the other side's sequence has any strange abilities that could kill them?

So it's better to be prepared.

Old Li yawned and shook his head. "I'm fine with anything, it's up to you."

In making decisions, Old Man Li never went against their ideas, or rather, he simply didn't care about them at all.

Although he was in the team, he was more like a sequence ability user who was detached from the team.

Seeing this, Hui didn't say anything, but instead kept calculating with his right hand while taking out a palm-sized tortoise shell from his pocket with his left hand.

As he calculated, the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) engraved on the tortoise shell began to glow faintly, and a phantom image of the Bagua emerged from it.

Seeing him like this, Chu Sheng and the others did not disturb him.

Apart from Chu Sheng, the others looked at the tortoise shell he was holding with some surprise, and then looked at Chu Sheng, but no one said anything.

After a long while, Hui stopped his right hand, which had been constantly calculating, and let out a deep breath.

"Since we all have the same idea, let's decide on this."

"We'll lie in ambush until 2 PM tomorrow, then we'll leave immediately."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Qing and continued, "If we're going to set up an ambush, you'll do it, Qing."

"Me?!" Zhu Qing pointed to himself, then looked at Chu Sheng and An Xi, and asked doubtfully, "Wouldn't Chu Sheng and An Xi be more suitable for this kind of ambush?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, he really had to admit that he wasn't good at this kind of thing.

In comparison, An Xi and Chu Sheng are much more suitable.

Anxi now has wings, allowing her to fly in the air, and she can also attack from a distance.

As for Chu Sheng, although he didn't believe in the bow, given Chu Sheng's personality and style, this was something he was naturally meant to do.

Zhu Qing is very self-aware and knows that he has many shortcomings and strengths. But if he had to say it himself, he would say that his greatest strength is his self-awareness.

The value of a person lies in their self-awareness.

Hui shook his head. "No, according to my calculations, if Chu Sheng and An Xi go to ambush, the other side will definitely notice."

"But if you go to ambush, there's a 30% chance you'll be detected."

"As for Ah Xin, Old Man Li, and me, I haven't calculated it, and even if I did, it wouldn't make much difference."

"So you are the best candidate."

Team Leader Hui was also puzzled. When he was calculating the probability of an ambush, the first person he calculated was Chu Sheng, but the conclusion he came to was that he would be detected 100%.

Next was An Xi, who was also 100% detected.

This was the first time he had received a positive answer during his calculations.

Upon hearing his words, Old Man Li clicked his tongue, "So the other party also has the ability to spy."

"Huh?" Chu Sheng was taken aback and looked at him in confusion.

"How did you know?"

Old Li smiled and explained, "Sequence abilities are incredibly diverse. You'll understand once you consider all the factors and possible sequences together."

“You and Anxi’s ambush will be detected, but Aqing’s won’t.”

"In this situation, besides having the ability to spy, the only thing the other party can do is to detect it on the spot."

"But if it's discovered on-site, then you and Anxi will be found out 100%, there's no reason why Aqing can't be found out as well."

"So aside from other reasons, in the end there is only one sequence that can spy on you and Anxi that has already noticed you, but Aqing has not been noticed by them."

"That's why you were able to detect something was wrong when you were lying in ambush, but Aqing's ambush only had a 30% chance of being detected."

Old Li's words were reasonable and well-founded, which was truly admirable.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm going to the village to look for something." With that, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards Cheng Xue.

He was going to ask if anyone in the village brewed wine.

Generally speaking, villagers will brew some wine to some extent, or at the very least, soak other ingredients in alcohol to make wine.

He had finished his liquor and was completely dejected.

Watching him leave, Hui and the others didn't stop him.

The matter has been settled, so there's nothing else to discuss.

Hui took a piece of cured meat from the collected supplies and then distributed the food on the spot.

It's worth mentioning that because Ah Xin's abilities are quite important and she is responsible for the daily task of covering up the anger, she can get a share of both extraordinary materials and collected resources.

Just like Hui, who is the leader.

They're the kind of people who make money while lying down.

Chu Sheng did not collect supplies, so he did not participate in the distribution this time. The remaining four people, An Xi, Zhu Qing, and Hui Dui, each received 30%, and Ah Xin received 10%.

Aside from Ah Xin only receiving a large bag of rice, a dozen packets of salt, some vegetables, and cured meat.

The other three each received more than three bags of rice, more than half a bag of salt, and a large amount of cured meat and vegetables.

Although Chu Sheng did not participate in the distribution, he suddenly remembered that he was almost out of salt when they were distributing it, so he openly and honestly took two packets of salt from the pile.

An Xi was speechless at his behavior.

"If you want salt, just tell me, and I'll give you two packets. Why are you going to such lengths?"

“You don’t understand, this is more meaningful.” Chu Sheng tucked the salt into his pocket.

"I don't understand you." An Xi frowned as she looked at him, completely unable to comprehend his behavior.

Shaking her head helplessly, An Xi spread her wings, tied the supplies she and Ah Xin had received with rope, then the Black Jade Bone Spear flew into her hand, and she vaulted seven or eight meters high. With her wings spread behind her, An Xi floated in the air, lifted the supplies upwards, and was just about to glide away when Chu Sheng suddenly spoke up, as if he had thought of something.

"By the way, my service still counts; two extraordinary materials will suffice!"

As he spoke, he gave An Xi an embarrassed smile.

He looks like a shy big boy.

Upon hearing this, An Xi blushed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"unnecessary!"

After saying that, she glided away.

Only when her back was to everyone did she softly spit out a curse and mutter in a voice only she could hear, "You pervert!"

Watching An Xi leave, Chu Sheng clicked his tongue. He could sell himself for just two extraordinary materials, so what was she still hesitating about?
Chu Sheng pondered as he walked to the Netherworld Bone Carriage and saw his reflection in the light from the carriage window.

"He's quite handsome."

As he was speaking, Zhu Qing, who had somehow appeared behind him, asked in confusion, "What kind of service requires two extraordinary materials!"

"Your new ability? I don't know what it is, but it must be pretty good, otherwise you wouldn't have priced two extraordinary materials at that price. An Xi doesn't want it, I want it!"

Zhu Qing patted his chest.

Chu Sheng: "."

People can actually laugh when they're speechless.

Chu Sheng was speechless and laughed.

“I was just joking with her, there’s nothing new business.”

"Are you kidding me?" Zhu Qing frowned slightly and looked at Chu Sheng suspiciously.

Judging from An Xi's expression just now, this doesn't seem like a joke.

However, since Chu Sheng had already said so, he didn't press the matter further.

Their team's motto is to respect each other's privacy and never ask questions they shouldn't.

It's like he deliberately revealed his promotion to Rank 8 before others knew he had been promoted.

Anxi is the same; they still don't know about the sequence costs for the captain and Old Man Li, but no one has taken the initiative to ask.

The next day.

Ah Xin used her ability early on, creating a barrier that would last for six hours, enveloping the entire convoy.

After using this ability, Ah Xin went to sleep.

According to her, since there's no rush now, she can use her powers again after she takes a nap.

Six hours is hopeless, but extending it by three or four hours is still possible.

Zhu Qing, on the other hand, had already hidden himself away.

The convoy had completely entered the village. Zhu Qing hid on the top floor of a house, where he could observe the entire convoy and most of the village's movements.

As long as no one runs onto the roof, they will basically not be discovered.

Apart from Ah Xin who was sleeping and Zhu Qing who was hiding on the roof, the rest of them gathered together. Old Man Li found a large barrel of liquor in the village.

He was drinking with Hui and An Xi, watching Chu Sheng practice archery, and occasionally offering a comment.

"Chu Sheng, you bastard, this bow is really good!" Hui looked at his red and white bone bow with some envy.

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng simply chuckled.

In other words, he cannot see the cost of using the Red and White Bone Bow, nor can he reveal his ability to use sacrifices without any cost.

Otherwise, we'd have to show this guy the cost of using it.

The Red and White Bone Bow's abilities are indeed quite good. It can focus on attacking the spirit, or it can purely enhance physical attacks by increasing armor penetration, or it can combine both.

Arrows can also be created directly from nothing.

Putting aside the facts, the Red and White Bone Bow is simply a miniature marvel.

Moreover, it's a magical artifact that can be upgraded infinitely in his hands.

In fact, the Red and White Bone Bow is indeed powerful and convenient, but the price is terrifying.

To shoot an arrow, one must experience the feeling of drowning or dying in humiliation; even if a red or white arrow is shot, one must experience both.

That's utterly outrageous!
Even the most mentally sound person will become mentally ill after shooting a few arrows.

Chu Sheng thought for a moment, then casually shot an arrow, which hit a rock not far away and pulverized it.

"Hey, hey, hey, that arrow is way off!" Anxi warned, "Your target is that stool!"

Chu Sheng: "."

Chu Sheng glanced at An Xi with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, then snorted and put away the red and white bone bow.

There must be some kind of strange ability that grants 100% accuracy, right?
Chu Sheng vowed that he would take back what he had lost!
Just as he was thinking this, Captain Hui suddenly spoke up: "They're here!"

"be prepared!"

Upon hearing his words, Chu Sheng took the red and white bone bow from his back again, and then the bow was drawn to its fullest extent, with a scarlet arrow forming on it.

"call out!"

As Chu Sheng released his grip, the Red Arrow transformed into a streak of red light and flashed across the sky above the house where Zhu Qing was hiding.

This is the signal they agreed upon.

Although Chu Sheng's aim wasn't great, after practicing for a few hours, while he couldn't hit exactly where he was aiming, he could still hit the general area within fifty meters.

As for the size of this area, that remains unknown.

Zhu Qing, who was hiding on the roof, saw a scarlet streak of light pass by above him. He immediately put on his black-bladed gloves and a small bottle appeared in his hand, ready to pour the water inside onto his clothes at any time.

At that moment, a pickup truck came into view of Chu Sheng and the others, and behind the truck, more than fifty survivors riding shared bicycles also came into their view.

“This convoy doesn’t seem like a particularly vicious group.” An Xi frowned slightly, but still held the black jade bone spear that was on the table in her hand.

"You can't judge a book by its cover. Some people wear gold-rimmed glasses and look very refined and respectable."

"But actually they're not good people. Some people may not seem like good people, but they're actually very good people," Chu Sheng said.

Hui glanced at him, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, stood up, and walked to the front of the convoy.
