Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 138 Twenty-four Extraordinary Materials!

Chu Sheng's words startled Xu An and the others, who then exchanged glances and slowly nodded.

"Let's make the deal at the entrance tonight," he said, pointing to the gate of the walled compound.

“Alright!” Chu Sheng readily agreed, and then continued, “If you have any extraordinary materials, I can help you fuse them into sacrificial offerings. The reward for one sacrificial offering is two extraordinary materials.”

"A sacrificial offering?!" Upon hearing his words, the extraordinary beings in the enclosed building all had their eyes light up.

Although they didn't have much contact with the outside world, they still knew some things.

"Yes! It's a sacrificial offering! My ability is to create sacrificial offerings, but it consumes a lot of mental energy. I can only create ten sacrificial offerings a month, so I charge two extraordinary materials."

"The extraordinary material is that stuff that drops after a weird death, right?" Xu An smiled. "To be honest, we don't know what that extraordinary material is used for either."

"At first we wondered if this thing could be used as a weapon or something, but it turned out to be useless."

"But we also know that this thing must have a purpose, and we won't be leaving here. There are many places to store these things."

"Although we don't have many strange things here, we have accumulated more than twenty pieces of that extraordinary material."

Chu Sheng was overjoyed upon hearing this; he had struck it rich!

That concludes our exchange.

Hui and his team returned to the Netherworld Chariot.

Chu Sheng smiled and said, "I didn't realize they weren't poor."

"By your standards, they're not poor, but they're actually so poor they can't even afford to eat," Hui complained.

Looking at the smile on Chu Sheng's face, Old Man Li also smiled.

"I have a surprise for them for tonight's transaction."

Upon hearing his words, Chu Sheng immediately had a bad feeling.

It's like something you've finally got is about to disappear.

For a moment, Chu Sheng looked at Old Man Li with some confusion.

Seeing that he was looking at him, Old Man Li smiled and explained, "Don't worry, they're just some drought-resistant plants."

"Drought-resistant plants?!" Old Li's words stunned everyone.

"What drought-resistant plant can survive in this kind of weather?" An Xi asked, puzzled. "Without rain and the ground cracking, even the most drought-resistant plant would die."

Old Li chuckled as he said, "There are plants that can live without water, after all."

"what?!"

Everyone stared at him with wide eyes.

Old Li didn't keep them in suspense any longer. Instead, he explained, "It's actually the grass I cultivated before. It has the characteristic of liking sunlight."

"For this plant, water is like poison; it will die if it touches water, but sunlight is its nourishment."

"This grass matures every three days. After it matures, there will be grass seeds on the leaves for further planting. Red fruits will grow from the tips of the leaves. They are a bit hot to eat and have no taste. They are not very big, but according to my estimate, one acre can yield about fifty catties."

"I cultivated this a long time ago and named it Sun Grass. When I first cultivated it, I had no place to experiment because the car was small and there was no room for me. Plus, we didn't really have a shortage of food at the time, so I temporarily gave up on it."

As Old Li spoke, he sighed, "If I hadn't seen them, I wouldn't have even remembered that this thing existed."

"However, this should be the most suitable thing for them, and this fruit is actually similar to rice, and it even provides some water and salt."

"No need to cook them, you can just pick them and eat them hot."

Old Li's words silenced everyone present once again.

Chu Sheng had originally thought he could earn a lot of extraordinary materials today, but then Old Man Li suddenly appeared and caught him off guard with his Sun Grass.

Not to mention Xu An and the others, even Chu Sheng himself couldn't help but be moved when he heard what Old Man Li said.

Who wouldn't want to farm peacefully?
An Xi's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Ah Xin is the same.

They couldn't find anything strange, lived peacefully, and had no shortage of food.

Isn't this the city of dawn they've been searching for?

Thinking it over, the two exchanged a glance, then looked outside at the more than ten-story-high walled building.

After looking at it for a few seconds, An Xi shook her head and sighed, "No."

Although the walled building has initially achieved the goal of preventing the supernatural from attacking, it is not yet the City of Dawn.

Because the ability to grant this ability to the walled building was not granted by the walled building itself, but by the ability users of the scholar sequence.

Meanwhile, inside the walled building, Xu An and his group were gathered together, also engaged in discussion.

"What do you guys think?" Xu An asked.

The burly man responded, "What else can we look at? These people are perfectly fine!"

"Although they didn't give us any intelligence, they're right. We didn't give them anything either, and their sequence cost was an equivalent exchange, so it's understandable that they wouldn't give it to us."

"They're trying to get information out of us." The intellectual woman, holding a book, said calmly, "From the very beginning, the man with glasses and the man with white hair were working together to get information out of us."

"However, they seem to only intend to trade with us; I don't see any other intentions on their part."

Xu An nodded. "I noticed it a long time ago. From the very beginning, those two were working together. As for the price of that equivalent exchange, I guess only you would believe it."

He glanced helplessly at the burly man.

"However, we can still make some preparations for tonight's transaction."

"It's right at the entrance, so even if there are any problems, we can just turn back."

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Just then, Xingzi spoke up: "Everyone talks about a trade, but what are you going to use to trade?" Xingzi's words made Xu An and the others fall silent for a moment, and then she continued: "It seems that all we can offer are those twenty-four extraordinary materials."

"According to our previous division, these extraordinary materials should be divided equally, so each person gets three pieces."

"It's just the right time to create a sacrificial offering."

"But besides these things, it seems like we have nothing else to trade, right?"

"Actually, there are some," Xue Gui said gently. "The scholar sequence can provide the knowledge they have researched, the architecture sequence can help them build things, the healer sequence can make bandages and other things, and the puppeteer sequence can make puppets for them."

“We actually have a lot of things to trade.”

“Their car must not have enough space, right? At this time, Uncle Li’s building sequence can help them expand the space and build a building inside the car.”

"Bandages and the like are probably a necessity for them, since everyone gets injured eventually. You could even sell them adrenaline."

"As for the puppet, although it can't be used without you, making it look nice and cool shouldn't be a problem."

"And you didn't notice something: they had a lot of food in their car."

"The survivors following behind them had plenty of food in their vehicles."

"We can use these things to exchange for food, so it shouldn't be a loss."

As Xue Gui spoke, she looked at the burly man and Xu An, "As for the rest of us..."

He gave a wry smile. "We have nothing, so we can probably only afford to make one offering."

"The offerings are quite good; we haven't seen any offerings yet." The burly man waved his hand. "I heard that using offerings comes at a price, but I don't know if it's true or not."

The burly man patted the young girl beside him and said, "Xiao Yi, what are you thinking about? You seem distracted."

The little girl named Xiaoyi was startled when the burly man patted her. She then hesitated and whispered, "I'm wondering if I should send a little devil to monitor them."

As she spoke, her shadow wriggled and then stood up from the ground.

The sophisticated woman's expression changed, and she called out, "Xiao Yi!"

When the intellectual woman called out to her, Xiaoyi shrank back. "What's wrong, teacher?"

"Don't let the brats spy on them!"

“They spotted us from a great distance yesterday. If you send the kid to monitor them, they’ll most likely find out.”

"They are not enemies for now, but they are actually very important to us. We will need to fight the monsters together with them. If your little devil is discovered, we will most likely have to face more than twenty monsters by ourselves!"

"It offers few benefits but has fatal drawbacks, making it a losing proposition!"

"Huh?" Xiaoyi was taken aback, but seeing the intellectual woman's serious expression, she lowered her head and said, "Okay, I understand."

The two teams had different ideas, but they reached a brief consensus.

The convoy also began setting up camp outside the compound.

Survivors with tents pitched them, while those without tents started soliciting business.

Chu Sheng was the only person on the Netherworld Chariot at this moment.

Sitting on the bed, Chu Sheng stroked his chin and looked silently at the water-purifying gourd in his hand.

After sitting quietly for a few minutes, Chu Sheng opened the door leading to the cargo container.

The moment the door opened, a bone-chilling cold blasted out.

Chu Sheng shuddered, his eyes quickly scanning the area before finding several empty mineral water bottles in a corner.

"It's you!"

Old Li gave him an idea: in this kind of weather, the water from the water-purifying gourd should be very popular.

As time went by, the sun gradually set in the west, and the outside temperature slowly decreased.

Although it is still above 40 degrees Celsius.

As the blood moon hung high in the sky, its crimson light shone upon the earth.

The crimson moonlight illuminated the night.

Even without lights, everyone is still highly visible under the blood moon.

This deal will be huge.

Not only those with sequence abilities, but also survivors participated in this trade fair, although they brought very little in terms of supplies and food.

Those who wanted to trade items bought a small stall on the ground.

Chu Sheng and the others did the same; he even paid a small visit to a stall this time.

There weren't many items on the stall; five mineral water bottles, each costing two yuan, were placed on it.

Xingzi immediately went to Chu Sheng's stall, looking curiously at the five mineral water bottles, and asked, "What are these?"

"Pure water," Chu Sheng emphasized, his enthusiasm for service. "It can purify wounds, remove curses, and a sip can remove all the heat from your body."

As he spoke, he took out the gourd from his waist, and at the same time took out a small white wine cup, poured a cup into it, and handed it to Xingzi, "Try it."

"Okay." Xingzi nodded, then poured the water from the small white wine glass into her mouth.

Then a cool sensation surged into my limbs and bones, sweeping away the temperature and heat I had become accustomed to, and a kind of comfort that I had only felt before the apocalypse spread throughout my body.

Xingzi couldn't help but exhale, her eyes brightening as she looked at Chu Sheng. Then, somewhat hesitantly, she said, "Brother Chu Sheng, why don't you join us?"

Her face turned slightly red after she finished speaking.

Chu Sheng, a handsome, capable, kind, and gentle man, is exactly her ideal type.

"You've come out to sell yourself?" An Xi's voice suddenly interrupted, then she subtly pushed Xingzi aside.
