Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 111 Extreme High Temperatures!

The convoy drove along a road overgrown with weeds. Because no vehicles had been on the road for more than half a year, and with the growth of the surrounding vegetation, the road looked extremely dilapidated.

Fortunately, the foundation was still intact, and the convoy continued to drive smoothly on the road.

The sun still hung high in the sky, its scorching heat baking the earth. The excessively high temperature made it impossible to doubt that an egg could be fried on the ground.

As the convoy traveled over the past few days, Chu Sheng was getting further and further away from the Ghost Realm.

However, it's unclear whether it's due to the previous series of strange attacks or because Hui's rank has improved significantly.

The convoy encountered nothing strange for the next four or five days.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Chu Sheng tossed the red and white bone bow onto the bed and lay down on it himself.

"What kind of weather is this?!"

Chu Sheng cursed, picked up the gourd next to him, and gulped down a mouthful of water.

As the water from the water-purifying gourd entered his stomach, a cool, refreshing sensation spread throughout his body, and Chu Sheng exhaled deeply.

"It's almost December, but it's still as hot as summer!"

"Luckily we have the water purifier gourd, otherwise we really would have had to fix the air conditioner."

The Netherworld Bone Cart has air conditioning, but when it was upgraded, no one expected it to be this hot now.

So although there is air conditioning, it is basically no different from a fan.

Chu Sheng didn't pay much attention at the time, after all, it was almost winter, why would he need air conditioning?

As a result, he has now learned a great lesson.

Not only him, but also Hui, Zhu Qing, and Old Man Li were extremely hot.

Some of the survivors who followed even climbed onto the roof of the bus, especially the survivors inside the bus. Because there were many people gathered together, the heat was intense, and many people climbed onto the roof or stuck their heads out of the window to get some fresh air.

However, they were still relatively fortunate, at least they weren't exposed to the sun and didn't have to travel on their own.

The most difficult situation was for the fifty-odd survivors who followed the convoy on bicycles. They had to endure the high temperatures and direct sunlight while also keeping up with the convoy.

Compared to the others suffering from the high temperature, Anxi and Ah Xin were much more comfortable.

The black-hearted off-road vehicle already had air conditioning, and then it incorporated extraordinary materials, turning it into a perpetual motion machine that didn't need fuel.

So the moment they felt the heat, they turned on the air conditioner, and cool air blew out from it 24 hours a day.

Besides the two of them, Hui, Zhu Qing, and Old Man Li also had working air conditioning in the car, but they only turned it on for a short while when it got unbearably hot.

Once the car has cooled down, I will turn off the air conditioning as soon as possible.

The reason is simple: there isn't enough gasoline.

Around 2 p.m., when the sun was at its hottest, the SUV at the front slowly came to a stop.

Upon seeing this, the butcher, who was following closely behind, slammed on the brakes, and the Netherworld Bone Cart came to an abrupt stop. Chu Sheng, who was sitting on the bed, was pushed off balance by the inertia.

Fortunately, the convoy was not being chased by the strange creature and was not in a hurry to get going, so it was not moving fast and only maintained a speed of about 30 miles per hour.

"Waaaaah!" the butcher yelled, signaling Chu Sheng to stop the car.

"I understand. Come back now."

"Waaaaah!" Upon hearing Chu Sheng's command, the butcher instantly transformed into a pig-slaughtering knife and returned to his waist.

Chu Sheng hung the water-purifying gourd on his waist and got out of the car immediately.

Under the sun, Chu Sheng couldn't help but squint. Although the world in his eyes was crimson, the direct sunlight was still dazzling.

After getting used to it a little, Chu Sheng took a sip from the gourd to cool off.

And it wasn't just him; as Hui's team stopped, the entire convoy slowly came to a halt, and the survivors on the bus eagerly ran outside.

It was very hot outside, but it was even more uncomfortable inside the bus. Dozens of survivors were inside the bus, which felt like a sauna.

Ignoring the survivors behind him, Chu Sheng walked to Hui's side and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Something strange?"

"No."

"Then why did you stop?"

Upon hearing this, Hui shook his head and explained, "There's nothing strange around here, so there's no need to rush."

"And the weather right now is a bit too abnormal."

"Logically speaking, it's almost December now, and the weather should have cooled down by now, but it's hotter than the hottest time of summer."

"This situation is not normal."

"So what did you calculate?" Chu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

At this moment, An Xi and the others also came over, looking at Captain Hui with the same puzzled expression.

“I actually felt something was wrong the day before yesterday, but when I did the calculations, there was nothing unusual, so I just treated it as normal weather.”

As Hui spoke, his brows furrowed. "I did another calculation yesterday, but there was still nothing unusual."

"So I changed the algorithm today." As he said this, his expression darkened.

"Just tell me already! Stop keeping me in suspense!" Zhu Qing was an impatient person, and she was getting a little frustrated as he kept getting off-topic.

Hui glanced at him, then stopped teasing him and said directly, "I didn't calculate whether it was normal or not today, but I did calculate how long this weather would last."

"The result is that it continues indefinitely, without end."

"What?!" Upon hearing his words, Chu Sheng and the others were all shocked, and even Old Man Li's originally drunken expression instantly returned to normal.

"It won't rain anymore?!"

Zhu Qing looked up at the cloudless sky in disbelief.

"If there are no errors, this should be it."

Hui sighed, "Since the apocalypse, the world seems to have changed drastically."

"Although I encountered the Ghost Realm before, I wasn't too shocked. In fact, I was relieved because of its existence, since I knew where the strange things came from."

"But it seems that we still lack experience."

"I estimate this is a place similar to the Ghost Realm, but instead of restricting the supernatural like the Ghost Realm, it changes the weather."

"Is this still Earth?!" Old Man Li rarely cursed like that.

"When I was a kid, we didn't have enough to eat, and there were even food shortages. Hey, we finally made it through, and good days finally came. We lived peacefully for over twenty years, and then the end of the world came!"

"What the hell is this thing that I've run into?!"

Old Li angrily took a sip of his drink.

Hearing what Old Man Li said, Chu Sheng gave him a strange look.

Indeed, according to Old Man Li, he has encountered good times.

He's touched all sorts of things.

An Xi ignored Old Man Li and frowned, "So, it's not just this sunny weather; we might encounter extreme weather like continuous rain or snow later on?"

"That's one way to understand it," Hui nodded.

"When I calculated that this weather would continue, I realized something was wrong, and then I calculated the situation of the other teams."

“A convoy has already encountered similar weather. They encountered hail, hailstones the size of half a finger. Most of the survivors died before they made it through.”

As he spoke, Hui noticed that everyone's expressions were somewhat grim. After thinking for a moment, he comforted them, "Fortunately, there aren't many strange things here, so we don't have to worry about being attacked by them all the time."

"It would be better to bring a few weirdos instead," Zhu Qing complained. "We arrived here without any preparation. Let alone anyone else, I myself might die of thirst in here."

Chu Sheng glanced at Zhu Qing and smirked, "Don't worry, you won't drink yourself to death."

"I have an endless source of water here. Give me an extraordinary material, and I can guarantee you will never lack water."

"Huh?!" Everyone except An Xi looked delighted upon hearing Chu Sheng's words.

As if remembering something, Hui asked, "Is it that basin of water you had before?"

"Yes." Chu Sheng didn't deny it and admitted it directly.

Since there's a contract in place, they won't attack him. On the contrary, informing him of the gourd's existence under these circumstances would be more beneficial for him.

Zhu Qing is absolutely right. The convoy entered this place without any preparation. Without enough water, they would all die of thirst here.

At this time, if he were to live a comfortable life, An Xi would know that he possessed a sacrificial object like the Water Purification Gourd, so even with the contract in place, Chu Sheng would not feel at ease.

It would be better to just display it now and then charge for its use.

Zhu Qing had no objection to Chu Sheng's terms of the deal and immediately said, "You wait!"

With that, he went straight back to his car, grabbed a cat rib, and ran out.

"Here, take this. I'll be relying on you for my water supply from now on!"

"No problem." Chu Sheng accepted the cat ribs.

The two made a deal under the watchful eyes of the four members of Team Hui.

As the two of them made their deal, An Xi also ran into the shady off-road vehicle and took out an extraordinary material.

"Here's this canine tooth; I'll entrust my water to you from now on."

Looking at the canine tooth that An Xi handed him, Chu Sheng glanced at Ah Xin and decisively shook his head, "No, you two need two pieces of material!"

"Since you two are together, it's hard to calculate. I'll just pay you per person!"

“You!” An Xi stared at him with wide eyes.

Chu Shengli glared back at her defiantly.

"Xixi, it's okay, I have the materials!" Ah Xin looked at the two of them, then smiled and went back to the car to take out a piece of flesh.

Chu Sheng nodded in satisfaction after accepting the flesh and canine teeth.

"Thank you for your patronage~" Chu Sheng's voice softened considerably after receiving three extraordinary materials in a row.

Hearing his voice, An Xi was somewhat indignant, "He doesn't even recognize his own family!"

"Heartless! Cold-blooded!"

"you are not human!"

An Xi's voice went in his left ear and out his right, and Chu Sheng didn't care at all.

"You can't live without extraordinary materials, can you?"

"Besides, I didn't set the price randomly. Don't slander me, or I won't give you any more fusion offerings next time."

Chu Sheng glanced indifferently at An Xi, who was still angry.
