Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 132 [Sacrifice: Netherworld Chariot!] Sequence: Guardian!

For some reason, the temperature inside the cargo container dropped significantly.

Especially the wind blowing down from above.

The wind wasn't strong, but it carried a chill that seeped into their very bones.

"Hiss~" Zhu Qing gasped, the icy air making him shiver.

"This thing has turned into a freezer?!"

"Probably." Frost appeared on Lu Guan's skeleton, but he didn't feel anything.

【Fan of Extreme Cold】

[Ranking of offerings: 6123]

[Extreme Cold: The temperature inside the space rapidly drops to -40°C, then remains constant!]

[Ice: Cold air continuously seeps into the liquid, which does not freeze on its own, but it will freeze upon contact.]

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

[Usage Cost: Do not allow flames, especially black flames, to appear within the area covered by the Frost Fan, otherwise you will be frozen instantly!]

[But if you are Chu Sheng, there is no cost to using it!]

This is the capability of a roof-mounted fan: a simple capability at a simple cost, yet it ranks over six thousandth.

With a little more effort, it could even reach over 5,000.

Chu Sheng glanced at everyone and smiled, "I've always been fair in business."

"From now on, the internal temperature of this cargo container will be kept constant at minus forty degrees Celsius, and all materials will have a longer shelf life and can be stored for a longer period of time."

"So taking half of your supplies is really not expensive."

"After all, they have a lot of stuff, and they offer a quick-freezing service."

As he spoke, Chu Sheng smiled and looked at everyone, "So, you should all be secretly happy to have met such a good person as me."

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, An Xi and the others nodded.

Although Chu Sheng wasn't a good person, it was true, as he said, that the items he offered for trade were generally quite good.

Although a bit expensive.

But the service was really good.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Chu Sheng's smile widened.

In fact, even if he only had his own supplies, as long as there were extraordinary materials that could obviously achieve a freezing effect, he would add this attribute to the cargo box.

The reason is simple: the longer supplies can be stored, the lower his need for food.

Not to mention that An Xi and Zhu Qing's supplies were kept here by them.

If he encounters a dangerous situation and runs away, all of this will be his own.

After glancing inside the cargo container at Chu Sheng's towering array of supplies, which stretched over ten meters high, and then at their own supplies, everyone felt overwhelmed and got off the vehicle.

There was both the discomfort caused by the rapid drop in temperature and the unpleasant feeling after comparison.

As everyone left, the cargo box of the Netherworld Bone Cart was completely closed.

In this round of supermarket supplies, Chu Sheng nominally accounted for 25%.

But in reality, An Xi and Zhu Qing both wanted to give him 10%, Lu Guan and Ah Xin wanted to give him half a share, and Hui Dui wanted to give him a quarter of 10%.

Including what he was entitled to, he received a total of more than 50% this time.

This is a win-win-win situation!
Everyone received the supplies; it's a win!
Everyone else gives them half of their supplies—it's a win-win situation!

In a dangerous situation, you can escape with the supplies, and all those supplies will be yours—it's a win-win-win situation!
What a win!
After seeing everyone off, Chu Sheng returned to his bed in the Netherworld Bone Cart and lay down, while pondering his extraordinary materials.

He still hasn't figured out what to do with the mourning clothes left behind by the clash between the red and white spirits.

Besides that, he also had a dog whip, but he didn't know what it was for either; he couldn't very well use it on himself.

The other extraordinary materials were two pieces of flesh and blood, which were left behind by the Snake-Winged Woman and given to Ah Xin and the others as payment.

Then there were two bones, which were also payment.

A lighter, something that idiot green-haired turtle left behind.

And finally, the large bone of the spider, which seemed to be used to connect its eight legs.

There are a total of eight extraordinary materials.

Mourning clothes and dog whips can be temporarily forgotten.

Chu Sheng's mind began to race.

There are no strange attacks or anything else happening now. The convoy will stay here until the next morning. Isn't this the best time to upgrade?
After thinking it over, Chu Sheng had a thought, and the several extraordinary materials piled at the bottom of the ten-meter-long supply depot instantly turned into white light and merged into the Netherworld Bone Cart.

At the same time, an even stronger white light completely obscured the Netherworld Bone Chariot.

The flesh and blood of the two snake-winged women were incorporated into the interior of the Netherworld Bone Chariot, and the large bone of the spider was incorporated into the frame of the vehicle, as were the two bones.

Fusion begins.

But Chu Sheng's work wasn't finished yet. It wasn't just about fusion; the newly acquired shaping also began to take effect at this time.

The ability is activated during the upgrading or fusion process.

A black flame suddenly appeared from the white light, eventually completely replacing the white light that covered the Netherworld Bone Chariot, turning it into a raging black flame.

The intense heat caused several nearby cars to move away.

The survivors watched from afar as the Netherworld Bone Chariot burned and covered in black flames, and especially as the air became extremely distorted due to the combined effects, they all retreated.

Even if their location has no impact.

The appearance of the Netherworld Bone Cart prompted An Xi and the others, who had returned to their respective vehicles, to come out again.

"My goodness!" Zhu Qing gasped. "Is Chu Sheng still alive?"

"I can feel the heatwave even from this far away."

"Is Brother Chu alright?" Lu Guan asked uncertainly, feeling the same fear he had when he saw Black Flame alone in the supermarket.

Even my own skeleton felt like it was melting.

Zhu Qing, Lu Guan, and Hui all wore worried expressions.

Anxi, on the other hand, felt a sense of familiarity because she had experienced this high temperature last night.

Especially after what Chu Sheng said to her at noon today, she felt relieved.

At the same time, he seemed to be deep in thought.

Was this the kind of flame that was inside me before?

Fortunately, I completely enveloped it with the power of Geng metal, otherwise I was afraid I would have been melted.

Although the little butterfly was glowing with golden light, it was nothing compared to my life.

At this moment, inside the Netherworld Bone Chariot, Chu Sheng did not feel any heat. His blood was entirely composed of black flames, which was also an evolution of his own ability.

So he not only wasn't hot, but he also felt a sense of warmth.

At this moment, the frame and front of the Netherworld Bone Chariot had completely turned into a pool of flowing, high-temperature liquid. "This feeling..." Chu Sheng muttered, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"This feels amazing!"

As the Netherworld Bone Chariot was liquefied, a feeling of being in complete control of everything arose.

"Let's keep the front of the vehicle like a truck," Chu Sheng muttered. "Then make the tires a bit bigger, change the shape of the ramming corners, and add machine guns and yellow scale armor inside."

With Chu Sheng's revisions, the Netherworld Bone Chariot underwent a complete transformation.

【Ghost Chariot】

[Ranking of offerings: 2412]

[Stability: The vehicle chassis, tires, and overall frame are reinforced, greatly improving the vehicle's stability and ensuring it will never roll over.]

[Never Wears Out: The chassis and tires are integrated, ensuring that the pickup truck's tires and chassis will not experience any wear.]

[Devouring: Vehicles can be freely loaded. Once a vehicle's speed exceeds 250 mph, it will be considered an assault, and the ram will transform into a two-meter-long maw with sharp teeth, crushing and devouring everything in its path!]

[Wriggling Flesh and Blood: The car's frame will be encased in flesh and blood, which will continue to grow and wriggle, ensuring the vehicle's frame will never fall apart!]

[Car Spider: It can form eight legs on both sides of its body using bones or flesh, allowing it to climb walls at a 90-degree angle.]

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

[Cost of Use: The souls of those who died by the butcher's knife harbor a deep prejudice against it. Do not allow the butcher's knife to be within ten meters of you, or you will be crushed and killed by a pickup truck. Do not lean directly against writhing flesh, or you will be devoured without your knowledge! Do not suddenly attack vehicles, or eight spider legs will curse you to have your limbs disappear!]

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

The Netherworld Bone Chariot is a thing of the past!

Now, the Nether Chariot is making its appearance!

Two new abilities, and the ranking of the offering has risen to 2412th!
As for the cost?

Chu Sheng only glanced at it briefly. He couldn't lean against the writhing flesh, nor could he suddenly attack the vehicle, or he would be devoured—a curse.

As his modifications were completed, the black flames on the Netherworld Chariot gradually died down, and a brand-new vehicle appeared before everyone's eyes.

An Xi and the others crowded around, curiously glancing at the suddenly appearing grooves on both sides, which were where the spider's legs hadn't grown yet.

"That's pretty cool!" Lu Guan's eyes shone with a bright blue light as he looked excitedly at the ram of the Netherworld Chariot, then at the machine gun on the roof and the red light emanating from the headlights.

The more I watch, the more excited I get.

A man's romance lies not in the newness of his car, but in its wildness!
"That ram! That machine gun! Wow! That armor!"

Lu Guan became more and more excited as he spoke, but when he saw the interior of the Netherworld Chariot through the car window, his excited voice came to an abrupt halt.

Inside the Netherworld Chariot, a layer of red flesh and blood covered the vehicle's frame and was still writhing incessantly.

With just one glance, his sanity plummeted.

Even a skeleton like him felt a sense of unease when he saw the interior of the Nether Chariot.

An Xi shuddered as she looked inside. "Chu Sheng, isn't this car a bit too..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone present understood what she meant. Zhu Qing and Hui nodded in agreement.

Chu Sheng, upon hearing her words, touched the writhing flesh with his hand. Since he had become a sacrificial offering, there was no bloodstain on it.

"Have it?"

"I feel fine. With this thing, I don't have to worry about my car falling apart anymore."

He said this with great joy in his heart.

Actually, the previous Netherworld Bone Chariot was already quite sturdy, after all, it was made from several pieces of bone material.

However, this balance only applies to normal driving. Although it won't fall apart when accelerating to 600 or 700 km/h, that's about it in reality.

Because that frame cannot be used for high-speed impacts.

But now it's different. With wriggling flesh and blood present, even if he drives at a thousand or ten thousand miles per hour and crashes into those unbreakable monsters, he will at most be brought to a stop instead of being smashed to pieces.

Chu Sheng glanced at the three of them, thought for a moment, and then reminded them, "By the way, don't suddenly attack my car, or your hands and feet will be cursed and disappear."

Upon hearing his words, Zhu Qing, who had been relying on his strong recovery ability and wanting to test how sharp the spikes on the ram were, stopped what he was doing.

After all, if he were to grow a little larger, he wouldn't feel any pain, and his regenerative abilities were extremely strong. Even if his palms were pierced or even cut off, they could grow back within minutes.

But he wasn't sure if slapping the spikes with his hand counted as a surprise attack.

Although his slap had no effect on the spikes.

But who knows how a sudden attack is detected?

It's fine to test the sharpness with a palm, but not with limbs.

Chu Sheng chatted around the Netherworld Chariot.

Meanwhile, 400 kilometers away from them, a 16-story, 100-meter-diameter walled building stood tall in the wilderness.

(A walled building similar to the one in Big Fish & Begonia)

The walled building has only one gate, and a middle-aged man in a security guard uniform sits on a recliner at the entrance.

Around him were seven sequence transcendents, four men and three women.

"Old Xu, if this continues, we can't hold on any longer!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in the security guard uniform looked at one of the girls and asked, "Xingzi, how much food do we have left?"

"There's not much left. Even if we only give them one meal a day, it will only last for half a month."

Kyoko sighed, "The surrounding villages and towns have all been searched. If we want to collect more supplies, we'll have to go to Fragrant City."

"What a mess this world is!" Before Old Xu could speak, a burly man next to Xingzi cursed.

"The end of the world has come, and now there's something even stranger!"

"I won't say anything about the strange things! And then it just won't rain!"

"Isn't this leaving us no way to survive? If Xue Gui weren't a magician, we'd all be dead from thirst!"

Hearing his words, Old Xu also sighed, "Sigh, there's nothing we can do. We thought it wouldn't rain near Fangxiang City, but even though we're so far away from Fangxiang City, the weather is still like this. I guess it's not raining anywhere else in the world."

"We're lucky. With Xue Gui around, at least we didn't die of thirst."

"I wonder how many people are left in the world now."

As he spoke, Old Xu still seemed puzzled, "Didn't the official statement say there was a racing team?"

Why haven't we seen any convoys?

"What else could it be? They're all dead!" The burly man sat against the wall. "Or maybe too many died, and there were too few convoys, so we just didn't run into them."

"Sigh!" Old Xu sighed.

"You two stop talking. At least we're still alive, aren't we? Although it's a bit sad, we might just be the last spark."

"No matter what, we must keep people alive," said a woman who looked to be in her thirties, sitting on a stone step reading a book.

"But we also owe a lot to Lao Xu. If it weren't for you, we would probably all be dead."

"Hey, what are you talking about? I'm just a security guard. I've awakened a Guardian sequence, and that's about all I'm good for. If I don't protect you guys, what else can I do?"
