Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 113 The Upgrade of the Netherworld Bone Chariot! Survivors from Sichuan Province!
Inside the Netherworld Bone Cart, Chu Sheng felt the cool breeze from the air conditioner and was in an extremely comfortable mood.

He originally thought he could hold out for a few days until the weather wasn't so hot anymore.

But he really didn't expect there to be such extreme high temperatures.

Although he was basically safe with the water purifier, who knew how long this weather would last? So he upgraded the air conditioner, which was originally just a fan.

The Netherworld Bone Chariot has the ability to generate solar power. Although it is not an unlimited energy source, it is not much different from it.

The Infinite Energy is an energy source with infinite energy, while the Netherworld Bone Chariot absorbs solar energy continuously for charging, 24 hours a day.

The two are not that different.

Feeling the temperature inside the Netherworld Bone Cart steadily decreasing, Chu Sheng turned his gaze to the extraordinary materials he had just taken out of the cargo box and the pea that Old Man Li had given him.

What lay before him were peas, captured bones, two cat ribs, and a heart.

With a flash of white light, the four extraordinary materials, along with the peas, vanished instantly, and then the white light enveloped the entire vehicle.

Bones and cat ribs were incorporated into the chassis, peas were incorporated into the machine gun on the roof, and the heart was enveloped in white light and incorporated into the engine.

[Netherworld Bone Cart] Chu Sheng

[Ranking of offerings: 2742]

[Repair: The vehicle will automatically repair itself, even if only a single fragment remains. Parts that fall off while driving will automatically catch up with it.]

[Rampage: Engine roars to life! Tires turn into pig's trotters! Speed ​​increases by 400%, the car charges forward.]

[Perpetual Motion Machine: Increased vehicle stability, adaptable to different road conditions, no longer consumes energy, possessing the characteristic of perpetual range.]

[Netherworld Bone: Will-o'-the-wisps will illuminate a one-meter radius around the Netherworld Bone Chariot, and those within its reach will be shielded from life force!]

[Machine Gunner: Automatically identifies and attacks enemies within 100 meters!]

[Sacrifice: Extraordinary items; every use comes at a price!]

【Use cost: The souls of those who died by the butcher's knife are filled with prejudice against it. Please don't let the butcher's knife assimilate you into bones!】

The charge should be initiated within one hour. Machine guns will automatically fire at all creatures within a 200-meter radius!

[Hidden Attribute: If you are Chu Sheng, there is no cost to using this!]

As the white light dissipated, the various abilities of the Netherworld Bone Chariot appeared before Chu Sheng's eyes.

The ability has not changed much from before, but it has improved.

The Netherworld Bone can now illuminate not only inside the car, but also up to a meter outside.

Although Chu Sheng felt it wasn't very useful, it was still a buff.

What pleased Chu Sheng the most were the Berserker and the Machine Gunner.

The acceleration increased from 300% to 400%, likely due to changes in the engine that were integrated with the heart.

After all, Anxi and her friends' black-hearted off-road vehicle has the ability to blow up its engine, increasing its speed by 50%, so there's no reason why it shouldn't have one too.

But in fact, it didn't happen, but the speed of the berserk mode increased. Chu Sheng guessed that the explosion of the cylinder and the berserk mode were likely combined.

And the machine gunners, needless to say.

Chu Sheng was previously worried that he had a machine gun but no use for it. However, when Old Man Li gave him the pea and explained its abilities, he wondered if he could combine it with the machine gun.

Of course, the first offering he considered was actually the red and white bone bow, since peas could automatically chase enemies, but considering that there were too many uncontrollable factors involved, he ultimately gave up on it.

After all, he really liked the Red and White Bone Bow's abilities, and it would be a huge loss if he made a mistake and ended up as a Peashooter.

Therefore, the machine gun on the roof became his second choice.

After all, they both need automatic pursuit, and even without automatic pursuit, the pea's automatic attack is a good match for the machine gun.

"It's a good thing I fused the peas and the machine gun. If I had fused the red and white bone bow to get this ability, it would have been better not to fuse them at all."

Chu Sheng murmured.

The Red and White Bone Bow does not need automatic firing; it only needs the ability to automatically track and hit targets.

Chu Sheng frowned as his gaze fell on the red and white bone bow, then sighed, "Next time for sure."

He can definitely get accuracy-related abilities, but before that, he can slowly practice his archery skills.

After several days of practice, his accuracy improved a lot; at least An Xi no longer yelled at him not to shoot at people.

Inside the rusty off-road vehicle, Anxi and Ah Xin watched the white light slowly dissipate from the Netherworld Bone Cart, their eyes filled with envy.

"XiXi, what's your opinion on Chu Sheng's car's ranking?"

Ah Xin turned her gaze away and asked with some curiosity.

Upon hearing this, An Xi pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "They should be ranked over a thousand, right?"

"It might even be higher."

"His car incorporates a lot of extraordinary materials, even the ram is made of extraordinary materials. A few days ago, a machine gun was added to the roof, which must also be made of extraordinary materials!"

An Xi became more and more envious as she spoke, "When will our car be as good as Chu Sheng's?"

"Get more extraordinary materials, and we'll definitely be able to!" Ah Xin comforted her, but as she said this, her cat ears unconsciously drooped down, indicating that she herself didn't believe her own words.

"Besides, our car isn't bad either, it has unlimited power and can even accelerate."

"Moreover, we can keep the air conditioning on all the time, plus Chu Sheng's purified water. Although we are currently under the cover of high temperatures, it is actually not much different from before."

“That’s true.” An Xi sighed. “I just don’t know how much longer it will take before we can leave this place.”

"If this continues, not many of the survivors will survive."

As she spoke, An Xi glanced at the bucket of water that Chu Sheng had filled for them, thought for a moment, and then said, "Xin Xin, let's use this water sparingly."

Upon hearing this, Ah Xin glanced at the bucket, then at An Xi, who seemed conflicted, and immediately understood her thoughts, nodding in agreement.

"Okay, we'll use it sparingly. You want to give the water you have left over each day to the survivors, right?"

"Ah."

"But doesn't Chu Sheng have an unlimited water supply? Can't the two of us just ask for more?"

An Xi shook her head and sighed again, "Although Chu Sheng has an unlimited water source, it's fine if we use it ourselves, but if we want to give this water to the survivors, we can't let Chu Sheng fill our water supply indefinitely."

"Although Chu Sheng doesn't value the supplies and food that these survivors are trading, what we're doing is not much different from cutting off their source of income."

“That’s true.” Ah Xin understood. “But we were given two extraordinary materials, so asking for two buckets of water a day isn’t unreasonable, is it?”

"We'll use one bucket ourselves and give the other bucket away."

Ah Xin didn't have the same conflicted thoughts as An Xi, and spoke with confidence.

"We can't just give two extraordinary materials and then only ask for a bucket of water like Zhu Qing and the others."

Hearing her words, An Xi pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

“We used one bucket together, and then gave one bucket to the survivors.”

"I hope more people can live."

Chu Sheng was unaware of what An Xi and Ah Xin were saying, but even if he did, he would only smile.

A bucket of water is less than 20 liters, and there are 370 or 380 survivors in total. What can that little bit of water do?
At most, it's just one bite per person, and that's not even enough.

Moreover, this was the water that An Xi and her companion received normally every day, so naturally they could do whatever they wanted with it. Chu Sheng never got angry or embarrassed just because something he gave away was given to someone else.

As long as the two of them don't ask me for more water, it's fine.

While Chu Sheng and An Xi were enjoying the air conditioning, Zhu Qing wasn't so comfortable.

Sitting in the car, Zhu Qing held a glass of water in her hand as she sat in the passenger seat.

In the driver's seat, a young man who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old and wore glasses was also holding a glass of water.

"Brother Zhu, this water is amazing!" Wang Ming said happily as he drank the water.

"It was very hot, but after taking a sip, it instantly stopped being hot."

Zhu Qing chuckled twice. "Of course it's magical. This water, produced from the sacrificial offerings, can purify wounds and remove curses."

"It's just a matter of cooling down, which is perfectly normal."

"Xiao Ming, it's normal that you haven't seen many sacrificial offerings on the train before, but remember, sacrificial offerings are things that are no less than those of the extraordinary sequence."

“A powerful offering is essentially equivalent to a sequence ability user, but there is a price to pay for its use.”

He paused, as if he had thought of something, and then continued, "Of course, those who achieve extraordinary status also have to pay a price."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that I'm fine. None of the Sequence Ability Users in our team have lost any limbs, but the price they pay for Sequence Ability is very high."

"You saw the other convoy we encountered a few days ago, right? One of the people in it didn't even have a nose."

"It's clearly a sequence cost that was paid."

"The sequence ability users in our team are all normal. If you encounter an abnormal sequence ability user, you'd better not say anything carelessly, otherwise you'll be in big trouble if you say something that hits a sore spot."

"For example, you'd better not tell Ah Xin that your ears are very useful."

"I understand," Wang Ming said thoughtfully.

"Even so, I wish I could awaken the sequence."

"Just wait and see, this thing is all about fate. Who knows, maybe it will wake up after a nap."

As Zhu Qing spoke, she felt a warmth and took another sip of water. "Hiss~ That feels good!"

"Next time I'll definitely find a gas station and fill up the tank! Then I'll be free from air conditioning!"

"Uh-huh!"

In Hui's car, Cheng Xue and Hui each held a glass of water.

Hui squinted, lowered the chair, lay down, and looked at Cheng Xue next to him, seemingly lost in thought.

"Xiaoxue, I have a little tidbit to tell you."

"Huh?" Cheng Xue was taken aback, then blinked and looked at Captain Hui with a puzzled expression.

"You say."

“We encountered a convoy before, which included a survivor from Sichuan Province before the apocalypse. Their convoy had also experienced extreme weather like ours.”

"However, what they experienced was hail, and all of it was the size of marbles."

Cheng Xue listened quietly, completely unable to understand what Captain Hui was trying to say.

Hui continued, "Their team was terrified because the weather had been like this for a week straight without stopping."

"But the survivor was excited."

Do you know why he's excited?

"Why?" Although Cheng Xue didn't understand what Hui was trying to say, she knew how to play the straight man.

"Because he felt like he had been cheated by God."

Cheng Xue: "???"

What does hail have to do with God?

"Because after everyone else has fallen asleep at night, he would run outside, enduring the pain of being hit by hail, then bend over, stick out his buttocks, spread them apart, and let the hail hit him."

Cheng Xue: "???"

By the time Cheng Xue realized what she had heard, she was already too deeply involved.

"Don't you have a few friends? Go go play with them, I'm going to sleep."

After Hui finished speaking, he shut his mouth and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Not only Cheng Xue, but he himself also felt like he'd been screwed over.

In order to predict this kind of extreme weather, he used a tortoise shell as an aid. In the end, although he was able to predict the extreme weather, he also got some gossip.

Most importantly, as a price to pay, one must spread this gossip, and the person who spread it must then spread it again.

Seeing Hui's eyes closed, Cheng Xue took her water bottle and got off the bus, looking distressed.

She couldn't imagine that someone could be so outrageous.

When it hailed, I opened my butt and got *hit by God.

This is absolutely outrageous no matter how you look at it.

Cheng Xue, looking distressed, found Wu Meng.

At that moment, Wu Meng and the others were cooking. When they saw Cheng Xue arrive, Wu Meng immediately said, "Xiao Xue, you've come at the right time!"

Let's eat together!

Wu Meng invited Cheng Xue, and Zhou Ding and Li Qian, the sisters, did not object. Wu Jie, the younger brother who centered his attention on his older sister, naturally did not object either.

The food in their convoy was mostly found by Cheng Xue, enough to feed the five of them for almost half a year.

However, Cheng Xue did not accept Wu Meng's invitation, shaking her head and saying, "No, I have to go back and cook later."

"I'll eat with the captain then."

"Alright then." Wu Meng didn't insist, but seeing Cheng Xue's uncomfortable expression, she still asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"He looks like he's not feeling well."

"I"

Cheng Xue wanted to say something, but for a moment she found it difficult to speak.

what did she say?
Is it possible that I'm so upset because of a rumor the captain told me?
Or is it about that survivor from Sichuan province who was... well, you know?
As a girl, she really couldn't bring herself to say it.

Of course, she also had some guesses in her mind.

The captain suddenly told her this little-known fact, then closed his eyes and went to sleep, and told her to come and visit her friends.

It seems like they want to tell the truth about this themselves.

Seeing Cheng Xue standing there with a conflicted expression on her face, Wu Meng didn't press her for details. Instead, she said, "Xiao Xue, if you can't say it, then don't say it."

"It's not that I can't say."
