Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 140 A Bedroom Full of Vigor and Energy! Kyoko's Kidnapping! (A Long Chapter of 6,000 Words!)

Three bottles of purified water.
The middle-aged man carrying bricks pondered for a moment, then glanced at Xingzi again, and finally nodded.

Clearly, he was aware of the gap between the medical supplies and the bedroom he had helped build.

Especially Chu Sheng and his convoy, they were different from ordinary survivors.

They are of the extraordinary order, and although they can pursue a more comfortable life, even so, compared to medical supplies, something that can only improve comfort is obviously a lower level.

After all, medical supplies can really save lives.

"Three bottles will do."

"Do you have any materials you can use to build?" he asked Chu Sheng. "Different materials will result in different things being built."

"If you have nothing, then I estimate I can only give you some room for improvement, not ten times the capacity I can provide."

"It doesn't have any special effects either."

"Special effects?" Chu Sheng was taken aback. He had initially only wanted to make himself sleep more comfortably, but now it seemed to be a little different.

"Yes, the buildings I construct can provide different effects depending on the materials used."

"However, bedrooms like this are basically for improving sleep quality, allowing you to sleep until you naturally wake up."

"If you add some extraordinary materials, it will have different effects, such as increasing the speed of mental energy recovery and the speed of injury self-healing."

"If you don't have bricks or other materials, I do have some here, but you'll need to add a bottle of clean water."

The middle-aged man's true intentions were revealed; after so much buildup, he finally set his sights on water purification.

Chu Sheng glanced at him and understood his thoughts; he was simply trying to find ways to clean the water from his hands.

But it doesn't matter. You might make a small profit, but I will never lose.

Purified water is very precious to them; it can relieve their body heat, remove curses, and purify wounds—the more high-end the better.

But for Chu Sheng, this thing was just a drinking water contraption, an inexhaustible source of pure water.

Chu Sheng smiled and looked at the middle-aged man, "Then I'll trouble you."

"But we'll have to wait a bit, the transaction is still ongoing."

Chu Sheng maintained his established persona.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "It won't take too long. After all, I built it with my abilities, and the materials are all on me. You take me there, and it will be built for you in less than a minute. Anyway, you don't have any clean water now, so you have to go back to get it."

"Uh..." Chu Sheng didn't intend to reveal the Water Purification Gourd to them, so after thinking about it, he agreed.

Chu Sheng led the middle-aged man toward the Netherworld Chariot, with An Xi following beside him.

Watching the three of them walk away, Kyoko, lost in thought, took a step and followed them.

The others around shook their heads at the sight, and the intellectual woman sighed, "That girl Xingzi is probably doomed."

"Isn't this perfect?" Xu An smiled and whispered, "If Xingzi can bring him here, our strength will increase significantly."

Upon hearing his words, the intellectual woman merely glanced at him.

It's hard to say who abducted whom.

In her opinion, that white-haired guy named Chu Sheng wasn't as good as he seemed on the surface.

Chu Sheng and the others were unaware of their conversation. If Captain Hui knew that Xu An was trying to get Xingzi to kidnap Chu Sheng, he would probably burst out laughing.

"By the way, do you want this?" Old Man Li sat on the ground, with a potted plant in front of her containing a green seedling.

At noon, he decided to trade the Sun Grass, and planted it directly in his car.

Seedlings have sprouted now.

Old Li's words caught their attention, and Xu An asked in confusion, "What is this?"

The transaction is still ongoing.

On the other side, Xingzi followed behind Chu Sheng and the other two with a large thermos in her hand, her head slightly lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

He only glanced at An Xi, who was standing in front of him, from time to time.

An Xi pretended not to feel her gaze, and since he didn't have anything to trade, he stayed by Chu Sheng's side.

"Why are you following me?" Chu Sheng asked, somewhat speechless, as An Xi pressed against him.

"What's wrong with following me?" An Xi's lips curled up, and she directly took Chu Sheng's arm in front of Xingzi. "I'll be using your bedroom anyway, so what's wrong with me going to check it out?!"

"If you're not willing, then I won't contact you next time!"

Hearing her words, Chu Sheng was taken aback. He then looked her up and down and remembered the two extraordinary materials she had given him before. He decided to obey the rich woman. He could get two extraordinary materials just by sleeping, as if he had found them for free.

So Chu Sheng immediately nodded and said, "Alright."

Kyoko overheard their conversation from behind, her eyes widened, and she looked utterly dejected.

I finally met my ideal type, but how come he's already taken?
Please, the white-haired guy is really super handsome!

Moreover, he has a gentle personality.

Her love died before it even began.
Chu Sheng was unaware of Xingzi's thoughts, but An Xi glanced at the dejected Xingzi out of the corner of her eye without making a sound. She knew then that this woman had ill intentions!

Soon the group arrived at the Netherworld Chariot. Chu Sheng instructed, "Don't start a fire inside the chariot, don't look in the mirror, and don't leave any toys or anything like that nearby."

"When you get into the car, don't lean against that flesh and blood."

"These are the taboos on this vehicle. If you violate them, the consequences will be severe."

"I understand." An Xi nodded. She knew that Chu Sheng would upgrade the car from time to time.

Incorporating so many extraordinary materials must come at a high cost.

The middle-aged man and Xingzi were completely dumbfounded.

Remembering that sacrifices come at a price, and considering Chu Sheng's ability to create them, Xingzi stared wide-eyed at Chu Sheng, her eyes sparkling.

"Brother Chu Sheng, is this car a sacrificial offering?"

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng turned his head and glanced at her. Although he didn't know why she had followed him, he still acted very gently.

This is a healer's sequence. He doesn't have Zhu Qing's recovery ability, so after learning that this girl has such a sequence, Chu Sheng made a decision.

They need to recruit this person into their convoy.

After all, who can guarantee that a sequence ability user won't get sick? And even if they don't get sick, who can guarantee that they won't get injured?

Without medical help, we can only tough it out, but the risks are too great.

So Chu Sheng decided to try and win Xingzi's favor.

As for what will happen to the people inside the walled building if Xingzi is taken away, what does that have to do with Chu Sheng?
The lives and deaths of others are none of his concern.

He opened the car door and led the group inside the Netherworld Chariot. Looking at the skull on the roof emitting green ghost flames, and then at the flesh and blood clinging to the chassis, the middle-aged man's lips twitched.

Xingzi, somewhat frightened, hugged the large thermos bottle tightly to her chest.

"Don't be afraid, this is just the effect of the offering," Chu Sheng said to Xingzi in a gentle tone, trying to comfort her.

“Look at her, she’s not afraid at all.” He said, pointing at An Xi.

An Xi just stared at him expressionlessly.

Xingzi glanced at Anxi, and seeing that Anxi didn't seem afraid at all, a determined look flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Brother Chusheng."

"I'm not afraid anymore!"

The middle-aged man, who was originally calculating how to build it, paused when he heard her voice, which sounded different from usual. Then, he casually asked, "Brother Chu Sheng, how do you plan to build it?"

Upon hearing his words, Chu Sheng immediately turned around and pointed to the empty area in the back seat, "This area in the back seat."

“From behind the two front seats all the way to this door that connects to the cargo box, the area in the middle is all yours.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then nodded, "In that case, I know what to do."

Then he looked at Chu Sheng and continued, "If I have any extraordinary materials, I can incorporate them into the building to enhance its effects. Do you need them?"

"No, there is one." Chu Sheng originally wanted to say that it was built like this, but then he thought of the dog whip he had obtained earlier.

He couldn't figure out how to use that thing.

Now that he's building a bedroom, he has some ideas.

Although I don't know what the effects of building sequence are like, I imagine they are similar to his Heavenly Craft sequence, with effects stacked according to things like directionality.

If that's the case, then the bedroom and the dog whip must be related, right?

“I have a dog whip, but I never knew how to use it. Why don’t you help me fuse it into this?”

"Dog whip." The middle-aged man's expression was somewhat strange, and he said in a roundabout way, "This kind of thing might make you a little more energetic."

Got it! Increase the time!
Chu Sheng coughed lightly, "It's nothing, I'm naturally full of energy."

"Since you don't mind, then I'll do as you say."

The two people's conversation made Xingzi, who was sitting by the car door, feel a little embarrassed, and her little face turned red.

An Xi seemed to be deep in thought when she heard this. She stroked her chin and said, "Chu Sheng, I have something for you."

"Huh?" Chu Sheng was taken aback and looked at An Xi with confusion.

An Xi didn't offer an explanation, and continued, "Don't start building yet, I'm going to get something."

As she spoke, she got out of the car and ran back to the shady SUV.

Less than a minute later, An Xi was back on the Netherworld Chariot.

At this moment, both Chu Sheng and the middle-aged man became strange.

"You..." Chu Sheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Here you go! Give me one, and I'll give you the other one next time!" An Xi tossed a kidney to Chu Sheng.

"If I remember correctly, this is Ah Xin's extraordinary material, right?" Chu Sheng frowned as he looked at her.

“Yes.” An Xi nodded. “Ah Xin and I share our extraordinary materials; we give them to whoever needs them.”

Looking at the kidney in his hand, and then at the dog whip he had taken out of the cargo box while An Xi was away, Chu Sheng finally nodded.

Although he is very powerful, no man would refuse to be even more powerful!
Chu Sheng gave An Xi a deep look. If these two extraordinary materials were really as he thought, then An Xi was simply asking for trouble.

If you couldn't stand it before I enhanced it, wouldn't you be even more unbearable after I enhanced it?
Xingzi blushed the whole time, dared not say a word, and her presence was minimized.

At this moment, she also realized something.

An Xi, who previously acted like a boyfriend and girlfriend with Chu Sheng, is definitely not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Chu Sheng!
However, she could understand Chu Sheng; the pressure of the apocalypse was immense, and he must have been having a very tough time.

That's why I would look for someone like An Xi.

Thinking of this, she looked at Chu Sheng with a pang of heartache.

Chu Sheng made a very good first impression on Xingzi, and he was also very warm and helpful afterwards.

In addition, his good looks are comparable to those of everyone watching on screen.

This led to him continuously making a good impression on Kyoko, and first impressions between people are very important.

Therefore, in Xingzi's eyes, Chu Sheng is now the epitome of beauty in the eye of the beholder.

Regardless of Chu Sheng's actions, she always had her reasons. Xingzi's gaze made An Xi, who was constantly watching her, feel a jolt in her heart.

What is she thinking? Why does she have that expression?

With the two extraordinary materials in place, the middle-aged man began construction.

Chu Sheng was watching intently, unaware that in Xingzi's mind he had become someone striving to survive in the apocalypse.

All he could see now was the image of the back seat of the Nether Chariot constantly twisting and turning.

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand, and yellowish-brown powder kept floating out of his palm. With his other hand, he threw out the dog whip and the kidney.

When the two extraordinary materials came into contact with the distorted space, they gradually turned into powder, constantly mixing with the yellowish-brown powder floating within.

After another ten seconds or so, more and more powder appeared, and the distortion of space became more and more severe. The powder, which was mixed with the two extraordinary materials, began to combine in the air to form bricks.

Each brick looked about the same size as a normal brick, but under the middle-aged man's control, these bricks shrank tenfold when they fell to the ground.

Bricks were piled up one by one, and in just over thirty seconds, a wall made of bricks appeared between the back seat and the driver and passenger seats.

The driver's and passenger's seats are embedded in the wall, while in the middle is a door that can only be passed through by one person at a time.

The middle-aged man then clapped his hands, "Alright, mission accomplished!"

"Brother Chu Sheng, let's go in and take a look."

"Okay!" Chu Sheng nodded in agreement.

Following the middle-aged man inside, a spacious area came into view.

There was nothing inside except for a bed he had set up in the back seat of the car; there were car doors on both sides, though.

The door leading to the cargo container remains unchanged.

The middle-aged man explained, "I simply made the space here bigger."

"But the structure remains unchanged."

As he spoke, he used an analogy, saying, "To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, entering this space is actually equivalent to you becoming smaller."

The middle-aged man is older, so although an analogy was used, it's as if nothing was said.

But Chu Sheng also understood what he meant.

"So, the space has been expanded, but the structure is the same as before. I can still enter this room by opening the back door, right?"

"Yes! That's exactly what I mean." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

He then continued, "As for the effects of those two extraordinary materials you used..."

"See for yourself."

"I am transferring ownership of the property to you."

"Okay! Hmm?" Chu Sheng was taken aback. Ownership of the property?

Seeing his confusion, Xingzi said softly, "Uncle Li's buildings all have property ownership certificates."

"Only by having a property certificate can you truly own the building, and only then can you control the entrance and prevent people from entering the room."

Xingzi explained that a small notebook had also appeared in the middle-aged man's hand.

"This is the property ownership certificate."

Chu Sheng took the property certificate, somewhat bewildered, and saw several lines of text on it.

A bedroom brimming with vitality and energy

[Every night, energy increases by 50%! Endurance increases by 50%! All-day mental energy recovery speed increases by 20%!]

It's no wonder this bedroom combines dog penis and kidney; the connection between the two is incredibly strong.

What pleased him most was the 20% increase in mental energy recovery speed, which was equivalent to having a cheat code that accelerated mental energy recovery.

What takes others ten hours to recover mental energy, he only needs eight hours.

It may not seem to have a significant effect, but restoring mental energy will increase the upper limit of mental energy.

In the parlance of fantasy and martial arts novels, this is a cultivation process.

Over time, he will become stronger faster than others.

The ability to create building sequences is actually quite good.

It allows the construction of various beneficial structures.

It's considered one of the more powerful auxiliary sequences.

However, his role is more evident after things have stabilized.

But now, Chu Sheng estimated that apart from the area where their walled compound was located, there was nowhere else they could find peace.

The walled village is indeed stable enough at the moment, but in Chu Sheng's opinion, it is not enough.

Otherwise, he would have wanted to join the walled village.

Although he wanted to live, he didn't want to eke out a living like the people inside the walled building; he wanted a more stable life.

Such stability is something he can only hope to have once he becomes stronger.

The sequence is getting stronger, and so is the anomaly. Nobody knows what the future holds.

In comparison, the current team is still a better fit for him.

Chu Sheng carefully put away the property certificate and wrote his name on it.

Then, looking at the middle-aged man and Xingzi, he said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go get some clean water and come back."

As he spoke, he opened the door leading to the cargo container.

A blast of white, cold air swept out, dropping the temperature of the entire bedroom by more than ten degrees.

The middle-aged man and Xingzi were stunned when they saw the mountain of supplies piled up inside through the doorway.

They had only seen this many supplies before the apocalypse.

Although their supplies have sustained them until now after the apocalypse, they have been constantly scavenged from the surrounding area.

Inside the container, they saw sacks of rice, one sack after another.

Chu Sheng stepped into the cargo box and closed the door again.

However, not long after, Chu Sheng came out with eight bottles of purified water.

He handed four bottles of purified water to the middle-aged man, and the transaction between the two was complete.

The middle-aged man got out of the car through the back door, glanced at Xingzi, waved to Chu Sheng, and then quickly left.

Xingzi remained where she was, looking at Chu Sheng as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing his expression, Chu Sheng asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Xingzi, if you need anything, you can just tell me. I'll definitely do what I can."

"No, no, no." Xingzi hurriedly waved her hand, afraid that Chu Sheng would think she was trying to take advantage of him. "I want you to help me create a sacrificial object."

"I've prepared all the materials." As she spoke, she took three pieces of material out of a pocket.

None of these three materials are very large.

A small, round bone resembling a syringe, thin at the front and gradually widening towards the middle and back, with a hollow center.

One is a roly-poly toy the size of a cigarette box.

The last item was a compass the size of a palm.

Looking at the three extraordinary materials in Xingzi's hand, Chu Sheng focused his gaze on the hollow round bone in the middle. "Do you have any requirements for the offering?"

"Requirements?" Kyoko was taken aback.

"Well, like appearance, abilities, and the like."

"Eh?!"

"Can I choose for myself?!"

"Of course." Chu Sheng smiled at Xingzi. "I see you're a healer, so how about I get you a syringe?"

As he spoke, he took the round bone, only the length of an index finger, from her hand and put it in his own. He looked at Kyoko and asked, "Do you still have a syringe?"

“Yes, yes!” Kyoko pulled a syringe out of her pocket. “This is a syringe they brought back for me while they were collecting supplies.”

"Since we have it, that's good." Chu Sheng said, taking the round bone and the syringe in his hands, and a white light covered both of them.

Xingzi then placed the remaining two extraordinary materials on the ground, indicating that these two were the reward.

Seeing this, Chu Sheng said, "Just give me the compass, and put the tumbler back."

"Huh?!" Kyoko looked at him in confusion.

Chu Sheng smiled gently and said, "We're friends, aren't we?"

“I usually accept two pieces of extraordinary materials from other people, but one is enough for you.”

Upon hearing this, Xingzi's face flushed red.

Regardless of the circumstances, people who are openly favored will experience a strange kind of emotion.

Apricots are no exception.

She was already attracted to Chu Sheng's appearance, and was in a state of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Now, Chu Sheng's words struck her soul.

Although Xingzi was shy, she was prepared to give Chu Sheng both extraordinary materials as a reward. However, after saying only one word, Chu Sheng seemed to understand her thoughts.

His expression immediately turned serious. "If you don't consider me a friend, then give me two pieces of material!"

"This..." Xingzi hesitated.

An Xi watched from the side, her molars practically grinding to powder.

In the end, Kyoko still managed to get her hands on the roly-poly toy.

Chu Sheng's expression immediately softened.

"That's more like it. Why say so much between friends?"

"Besides, you're not taking advantage of me. The internal price in our team is also a sacrifice. I just consider you one of our own."

"oneself"

Apricot, who was already a little shy, blushed deeply and kept repeating Chu Sheng's words to herself.

Is she one of his own?

Xingzi pursed her lips, feeling a little excited.

A moment later, the white light in Chu Sheng's hand dissipated, and a syringe appeared in his hand.

At first glance, it looks no different from before, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that the needle has been replaced by bone.
