Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 155 Apricot Awakens, The Book of Omniscience!
The next day.

Anzu slowly opened her eyes from the back seat of the shady SUV, her brows furrowing as she felt the bumps on the road.

"Where am I?" Kyoko stared blankly at the unfamiliar car roof.

Hearing the sound, Ah Xin looked up at the rearview mirror and asked, "Awake?"

"Uh"

Xingzi had fully come to her senses by now. Looking at Ah Xin and An Xi, who had reclined the passenger seat and was sleeping on it, she was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Her last memory seemed to be seeing Chu Sheng.

Yes! She saw Chu Sheng!

Thinking of this, Xingzi's eyes widened suddenly, and she hurriedly asked, "Where are they?!"

"How are they?!"

"Where's Brother Chu Sheng? Where are Uncle Xu and the others?!"

“One problem after another.” Ah Xin yawned. “The battle is over.”

"That creature was very powerful; the walled building has already collapsed."

"As for Chu Sheng, that guy's doing great." Ah Xin said this with a pursed lip, then continued, "As for Uncle Xu you mentioned, I don't know him."

Xingzi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Chu Sheng was alright, but when Ah Xin said she didn't know Uncle Xu, she quickly said, "Uncle Xu is him."

Before she could finish speaking, Ah Xin interrupted her, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"Although I don't know the Uncle Xu you mentioned, I imagine he must be one of those extraordinary beings in the Enclosure."

"Uh-huh!"

"Although the walled building collapsed, they are still alive."

Ah Xin spoke, and then recounted what had happened in the walled building. As Xingzi listened, her mood gradually declined.

"So... is that weirdo really that strong?" Kyoko murmured to herself.

An Xi was woken up by her conversation with Ah Xin. She sat up straight, yawned, and said, "Very strong."

"You must have witnessed the power of that strange creature before you lost consciousness. It's just that the strength it displayed at the time was less than one-tenth of its full power."

"It was messing with us the whole time."

"But it's fortunate that it was playing us. Otherwise, if it had gone all out from the beginning, although some of us might have survived, not many would have."

As An Xi spoke, she adjusted the chair she had been sitting in to a normal sitting position.

"That strange cat-like creature also had the cat's habit of playing with its prey. It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

As Xingzi listened, she took a deep breath, her gaze towards Anxi still somewhat wary.

"Why am I here?"

"Chu Sheng saw you when you were unconscious, and then he took you to the car, since it was the safest place at the time."

Ah Xin replied while driving, "But that weirdo suddenly erupted, catching us off guard. The sequence ability users who were fighting the weirdo scattered and fled. Even after we brought An Xi and Zhu Qing back, we didn't dare to go back to check on them."

Kyoko frowned and said, "So you took me with you?"

“To be precise, you were taken away by Chu Sheng.” An Xi applied blood to the black jade bone spear with her hand and added, “After Ah Xin and I arrived at a safe location, we saw that you were still sleeping in Chu Sheng’s car. To prevent him from taking advantage of you, we brought you to our car.”

Ah Xin and An Xi each said something, which confused Xingzi a little, but she still understood the general meaning.

Because she was unconscious, Chu Sheng took her to his car for protection. However, because the strange creature was too powerful and its outburst was sudden, all the people fighting it escaped.

Then the two of them took her to their car.

Xingzi thought quickly in her mind, then glanced at Anxi and the other two, feeling somewhat skeptical, but she didn't say anything.

There's no point in saying anything more now that things have come to this.

But she still asked, clinging to a glimmer of hope, "Will you go back to find Uncle Xu and the others?"

"Probably not, unless we run into them somewhere else."

"But they will probably find a place to start a new life."

Xingzi remained silent. Based on her understanding of Xu An and the others, with Sister Yan, Uncle Li, and Uncle Xu around, they would definitely find a place to live a stable life.

After all, Uncle Li's building sequence can quickly construct houses, Sister Yan's scholar sequence can reduce their presence, and with Uncle Xu's guard sequence, basically no strange things will come looking for them.

Even if there are some strange creatures, a few scattered ones are just a dead end.

Xingzi fell silent. Ah Xin and An Xi exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything they said was true, but there were some things they didn't say.

For example, Chu Sheng had long planned to abduct her.

The car was quiet for a few minutes. Ah Xin yawned, looked at An Xi, and said, "Xi Xi, you drive. I'm going to take a nap. Although I slept for six hours before, I drove for four or five hours. I'm tired."

An Xi nodded, "Okay, you can move the car to the side, let's switch."

As the two were talking, the scooter broke away from the convoy and pulled over to the side of the road.

The two quickly switched seats, with An Xi taking the driver's seat. Xingzi remained silent throughout, quietly sitting in the back seat against two bags of rice, seemingly lost in thought.

The vehicle restarted, and the scooter, being faster than a regular vehicle, returned to its previous location in less than two minutes.

Ah Xin adjusted her seat slightly, leaned back, and fell asleep immediately.

Looking at Xingzi through the rearview mirror, Anxi sighed, "Don't overthink it."

"Although following the convoy is not very stable and not as secure as the enclosed building, at least there are more sequence ability users in our convoy, so our safety is guaranteed."

Xingzi remained silent, staring blankly at Anxi. Anxi continued, "Let me tell you about the convoy."

"With you included, our team now has eight sequence ability users."

“My name is An Xi, An as in stability and Xi as in the sun. I am a White Tiger. The giant before me was Zhu Qing, who was a Giant. We are both Battle Sequence. You should know our abilities.”

"As for the one next to me, her name is Chu Xin, you can just call her Ah Xin. She is a Guardian, and her ability is to eliminate anger. I won't go into her other abilities."

"You know Chu Sheng, so I won't go into details."

"Besides the few of us, the one with glasses is our guide, the Bagua Sequence. You can just think of him as a charlatan. He can calculate a lot of things with his fingers. He was the one who figured out how to go to the walled building before."

"Old Li is a botanist and can cultivate many extraordinary plants."

"The last one is that skeleton. He joined our team not long ago. He's a skeleton sequence ability user and is generally not susceptible to strange attacks."

An Xi recounted the current sequence ability users in the team, and then continued, "As for the team, most of our team's rules are designed for ordinary people. We can't kill people indiscriminately, nor can we delay the team's progress."

"As for us sequence ability users, it's an equal exchange. If you want something and the other party has it, you can exchange it for something. As long as both parties feel it's a good deal."

An Xi recounted most of the details about the caravan, including Chu Sheng's iron-bound contract, while Xingzi listened quietly.

"So after the convoy stops, I also have to sign a contract?"

“Hmm.” An Xi nodded, then seemed to remember something and said, “By the way, if you trade with us, we’ll give you an insider price for your stuff. As for trading with other car teams, you can set your own price.”

Xingzi nodded; she already knew that.

When Chu Sheng helped her fuse the sacrificial object before, he told her that he had given her an insider price.

Xingzi had recovered from her confusion and decided to make the best of it.

On the other side, fifty kilometers away from the previous walled building, Xu An and his group found a cliff.

"It's well hidden, not visible from anywhere else, and not too far from Fragrant City. We can also build caves or something similar down the cliff later."

It was a unanimous decision for them to settle down in this place.

Having experienced the dangers posed by the convoy, they had come to understand the benefits of concealment.

"Leave the rest to me!" Old Li, as the construction worker, started working.

The intellectual woman was holding a book, though her face was somewhat pale. "Let's build the wall first."

"I can probably hold on for another four hours. If I can't stay with Xu An's guardian sequence within four hours, my ability to reduce my presence will become ineffective."

"Four hours?" Old Li smiled upon hearing this. "That's not a problem. I'll build a one-meter-high wall first so that Old Xu can use his abilities. Then we can build the rest slowly."

As they were talking, the burly man suddenly spoke up from the side: "Now that we've run here, no other convoys should be able to find us, right?"

"Otherwise, if we attract that monster again, we won't have anywhere to escape from here."

"What are you saying, 'cursing' like that?!" Xu An said, looking at the burly man.

The burly man realized he had said the wrong thing, and immediately gave an awkward laugh and fell silent.

“We have nothing left. I hope this sun grass won’t let us down.” Xue Gui looked at the potted plant that the intellectual woman had placed on the ground.

"But before that, we need to find a way to get some food. We need to survive for at least twenty days, otherwise all the survivors will starve to death."

"The next few days will be tough."

As he spoke, everyone fell silent.

"Let's take it one step at a time, do our best, and if it really doesn't work out, at least we've done our best," Xu An sighed.

"Actually, it won't take that long. As long as they're not lying to us, we only need to find enough food for about seven or eight days."

The intellectual woman spoke up from the side: "I counted before, one Sun Grass will produce thirteen fruits. They are not yet ripe, but the fruits are already half the size of a fist."

"According to them, one Sun Grass plant produces fifty catties of fruit, which should be correct."

"In addition to the fruit, I also counted the seeds. There were forty-seven seeds on the leaves."

"Even if one Sun Grass plant produces 50 catties of fruit from 40 seeds, by the time this Sun Grass plant matures tomorrow, and in three days, we will have 2,000 catties of fruit and more than 1,600 seeds."

"In other words, as long as they are not lying, we should have enough food for about seven or eight days."

"To be even more radical, we only need to find enough food for three days, because even if we are careful with our spending, they won't starve to death after four days. After another three days, we won't have to worry about food anymore."

"Moreover, these fruits contain water and trace elements for the human body, and long-term consumption can help people evolve to be more heat-resistant."

As the intellectual woman spoke, she slowly opened the book in her hand, revealing a sun grass and its effects and images on a blank page.

The intellectual woman's eyes gleamed, "My omniscient book has finally recorded an extraordinary plant!"
