Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 112 Peas? Pea Shooter?!

"Hmph!" An Xi took a deep breath, squinted at Chu Sheng, and made a decision in her heart.

At this moment, Chu Sheng turned his attention to Captain Hui and Old Man Li.

While he was trading with Anxi and Ah Xin, Hui had already taken out his heart and handed it to him with a helpless expression.

"I'm giving you my last piece of extraordinary material."

He originally intended to integrate this heart into his own vehicle, but based on priorities, he gave it to Chu Sheng instead.

We have to give him some water; although he still has some drinking water, he definitely won't last long enough to leave this place.

At this time, Chu Sheng, who possessed an unlimited water source, became exceptionally precious.

If this happened outside, and Chu Sheng offered him an unlimited water source using an extraordinary material, he would just spit in his face.

But it is indeed a reasonable transaction requirement now.

Chu Sheng chuckled as he took the heart, then looked at Old Man Li.

Old Li sighed, "Why are you looking at an old man? I don't have any extraordinary materials."

"But I'll use this to settle the debt."

As he spoke, he took a pea out of his pocket.

"This is a plant I cultivated. Unlike other plants, if you plant it in the soil, it will turn into a fighting plant in a day. As long as it doesn't die, it can exist indefinitely."

"Or you can just throw it out. Within a certain range, it will chase the target until it makes contact and then explodes."

"However, I haven't tested it after cultivating it; it's just that my abilities tell me that this bean has this ability."

"This should be enough to replace a piece of extraordinary material, right?"

Before Chu Sheng could speak, Zhu Qing leaned closer, staring incredulously at the peas in Old Man Li's hand, and exclaimed, "Peashooter?!"

"I guess so." Old Li frowned. "This is what my previous driver told me. He said there's a pea shooter in a game who can condense peas like bullets."

“I’ve never done it before, but what he said was quite helpful, so I tried cultivating it, and this is the result.”

"Young Chu, just say so if you're not up to par. If not, I'll find someone else."

"Okay!" Chu Sheng took the peas, a smile spreading across his face. "Why not?!"

"If you have any other plants like this, I want them too!"

"Gone!" Old Li sneered. "I'm gone. This is my last remaining possession."

"Alright, here's your last bit of wealth." Chu Sheng chuckled, but didn't say whether he believed it or not.

Old Li looks unremarkable and doesn't compete or fight for anything in the caravan, but he actually has quite a few good things in his possession.

I gave Ah Xin dandelions before, and now I'm giving myself peas, cherry tomatoes, chili peppers, and cucumbers.

Who knows if he has anything else up his sleeve?

The old man was the one who was most hidden in the convoy.

Hui and Anxi shared the same thought as Chu Sheng, and none of them believed that Old Man Li would not have something else.

However, although he didn't believe it, he didn't bother to investigate Old Man Li's background.

"Alright, deal done!"

Chu Sheng placed the four extraordinary materials and the peas into the cargo box of the Netherworld Bone Cart before reappearing before everyone.

"I've said the pricing is reasonable, now let me show you the details."

As he spoke, Chu Sheng took the water-purifying gourd from his waist, glanced at the group, then walked up to An Xi and said, "Give me your hand."

"Huh?" An Xi asked, puzzled, but still reached out her hand.

Looking at An Xi's outstretched hand, Chu Sheng rolled his eyes at her helplessly and said irritably, "Both hands, to catch the water."

"oh oh."

An Xi cupped her hands as if she were holding water, and Chu Sheng poured the water directly into her hands.

"Try it and see."

An Xi didn't have any other thoughts and simply drank the water in her hand.

The moment the purified water enters the mouth, a cool sensation spreads throughout the body along with the water flow, just like the refreshing feeling of entering an air-conditioned room on a sweltering summer day.

"Huh?! What is this?!" An Xi's body heat dissipated, and she felt icy cold all over. She looked at Chu Sheng in disbelief.

"You felt it?" Chu Sheng's lips curled into a smile.

"This is clean water."

The water-purifying gourd has two abilities: an unlimited water source and purification.

[Purification: The water inside the gourd can be used for drinking, purifying wounds, and removing curses!]

At first, Chu Sheng didn't expect that this thing could eliminate heat. He just felt hot, took a sip of water, and then felt cool all over.

Seeing that the others, except for An Xi, seemed puzzled, Chu Sheng explained, "This water can not only be drunk, but also used to purify wounds and remove curses."

"At the same time, you can feel the refreshing coolness when you take a sip."

"The heat is directly eliminated."

"I didn't take advantage of you."

"If you are cursed in the future, I will remove the curse for you. You will be paid an internal price for each extraordinary material. I will not sell to anyone else unless they receive five extraordinary materials."

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, everyone nodded.

If that's the case, then that extraordinary material isn't expensive at all. After all, removing curses and purifying wounds, even charging for a piece of extraordinary material each time would be reasonable.

After all, curses are something that either you don't get cursed at all, but once you do, it's a terrible thing.

"Alright, bring out everything you need to collect water, I'll pour you some."

"Okay!" Zhu Qing agreed the fastest and ran back to her car to get the bucket to collect the water.

Not only him, but An Xi and the others also went back to the car to get the buckets.

In a short while, four buckets were placed in front of Chu Sheng.

They're all the kind of water dispenser containers, each about 19 liters and weighing 38 kilograms.

The gourd's spout wasn't large, but the water flowed out quickly; in just two minutes, all four buckets were filled.

As the last bucket was filled, Chu Sheng hung the gourd back on his waist. "Alright, one bucket a day should be enough."

“One bucket a day should be enough.” Captain Hui nodded, then looked at Cheng Xue, who had been following behind him, and said, “You heard everything just now.”

"We won't continue today. Let's rest here. We'll set off at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Go and inform them."

As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Sheng, "Also, tell them about the situation here, and tell them to conserve water. If they have any extraordinary materials, they can contact Chu Sheng."

“Okay!” Cheng Xue had participated in their entire conversation and naturally knew the current situation, so she nodded immediately.

Just as Cheng Xue was about to notify the survivors, Chu Sheng stopped her, "It doesn't necessarily have to be extraordinary materials. If you have anything rare, or if you can exchange food for water with me, that's fine."

"One meal is exchanged for one bottle of water, a two-yuan mineral water bottle."

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, Cheng Xue was taken aback, then nodded: "Okay! I will pass on the message."

"Ah."

As Cheng Xue left, An Xi gave Chu Sheng a strange look: "I didn't expect you to still have this kind of conscience."

"But they probably don't eat much. With just that little bit of food, you might as well give them a little water every day so they'll remember your kindness."

Chu Sheng glanced at An Xi and scoffed, "Giving it away for free? Impossible. I don't need them to remember my kindness."

“Give them a way to survive, as long as thirty or forty of them can survive.”

"After all, what if they all die, and then there's a strange attack?"

Everyone: "."

Well done, still the same Chu Sheng.

Although the words were somewhat harsh, they were indeed true, and coming from Chu Sheng, they sounded perfectly reasonable.

As Cheng Xue relayed the weather information, panic immediately gripped the survivors.

It's been this hot all the time, and I don't know how long it's going to last. How the hell am I supposed to live like this?
Although Chu Sheng can provide water, it must be exchanged for food!
But most of the survivors did not have enough food; that is, they either died of thirst or starvation.

Cheng Xue simply relayed the information and then didn't pursue the matter further.

She wanted more people to live, but she didn't have the ability to do so.

So rather than feeling uncomfortable being with these survivors, it's better to stay away.

That way she won't see it, and she won't feel bad.

However, although she did not intend to have much interaction with the survivors, it did not mean that she was unwilling to communicate with Wu Meng and the others.

After notifying the survivors, she went to find Wu Meng.

Upon seeing Cheng Xue arrive, Wu Meng looked somewhat worried. "Xiao Xue, will this weather really continue?"

"Hmm." Cheng Xue nodded, then asked with some doubt, "You guys shouldn't be worried, right?"

"Didn't you and I find so much rice in the village a few days ago?"

"That's true, but I'm still a little worried," Wu Meng sighed.

"This is the first time I've ever seen so much food."

"Moreover, we don't know how long this high temperature will last, so even with so much food, we still have no confidence."

Hearing this, Cheng Xue nodded, "That's true."

"However, if you have any extraordinary materials, you can trade with Chu Sheng."

“There is indeed an extraordinary material, but it’s not mine,” Wu Meng said, glancing at Zhou Dun not far away.

Cheng Xue followed her gaze and immediately understood.

"Then we can only pray that the heatwave will pass quickly." Cheng Xue sighed, then said apologetically, "There's nothing I can do to help you."

“Although I have plenty of water in the captain’s car, I can’t take this out.”

"It's alright, it's alright, I wasn't planning on taking your water anyway." Wu Meng waved her hand.

Cheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "I'll remind you of something: the water you traded with Chu Sheng can purify wounds and remove curses."

"Moreover, a sip can eliminate body heat. You can trade some and then use it interchangeably with other water, which should save some money."

Upon hearing this, Wu Meng exclaimed with delight, "Really? That's wonderful!"

"Xiaoxue, you're so kind!"

“We’re friends,” Cheng Xue smiled. “If there’s anything else, I’ll tell you too.”

"Don't worry."
