Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 157 [Sacrifice: Eternal Flame!] A world shrouded in mist!

The fog was thick, and even with the enhanced vision of a Sequence Ability User, it was impossible to see through the fog a hundred meters away.

To the left is Poyang Lake, and to the right are lush green trees and scattered buildings.

Although the sunlight, obstructed by the mist, illuminated the area, it was like the light at the break of dawn—there was light, but it wasn't bright.

The mist was only a shallow layer over Poyang Lake and did not obstruct the view much. On the contrary, the dry shore was completely covered by the mist.

Even though it was no longer early morning, water droplets still condensed on the trees and weeds on the right, dripping into puddles on the ground.

Although Poyang Lake was covered by a thin layer of mist, you could still see very far.

It is winter now, and the dry season has arrived. During the dry season before the end of the world, Poyang Lake will be divided into several sub-lakes.

But after the apocalypse, Chu Sheng and the others saw that even during the dry season, the water volume of Poyang Lake was still much greater than during the wet season before the apocalypse.

The 300-li Poyang Lake now seems to be able to have one or two zeros added to its name?
"This awful weather! I'm soaking wet, it's so annoying!" Lu Guan wiped the water droplets from his ribs and complained, "This place is the complete opposite of the previous one!"

"There it's so hot you can hardly see water, here it's flooded, you can hardly see fire!"

"That's what the apocalypse is like, going from one extreme to another." Old Li was collecting a lot of wood that had been soaked in water vapor, and he was also holding a pack of tissues and a lighter in his hand.

It seems they wanted to start a fire with the paper.

But every time he pulls out a tissue, within three seconds, the tissue is completely soaked with water vapor, which then flows into the tissue box through the opening, making the whole pack of tissues damp.

Old Li completely gave up on the idea of ​​starting a fire with toilet paper, and sighed, "I wonder when we'll see normal weather again."

"It seems that the weather has become extreme ever since we entered the Ghost Realm."

"That's not entirely true." Hui, who was also holding a lighter, was using gasoline in a disposable cup as tinder.

He poured gasoline onto the soaked wood and said, "The Earth's surface area has expanded considerably."

"I can't calculate the exact size, but judging from the extent of the strange realm and the extreme heat, it has expanded by at least a hundred times, or even a thousand or ten thousand times."

"Such a large area, interspersed between cities and wilderness, is where these extreme weather events come from."

"But the weather on Earth itself is still normal. We were on Earth's own territory before, so we didn't feel it very deeply."

"If we encounter a place with normal weather afterward, it means we've returned to Earth."

"Regions that don't belong to Earth are interspersed within Earth's own territory, but why do these extreme weather events affect cities?" Zhu Qing held a spray gun, trying to ignite the gasoline that Hui had poured onto the soaked wood.

However, there was too much water mist. The gasoline started to dilute with the water in the mist as soon as it came into contact with the air, and it was diluted again when poured onto the wood. He did not succeed.

Seeing this, Zhu Qing seemed to have been prepared, looked at Captain Hui, and continued, "Fragrance City was previously in extreme heat."

"I don't know." Hui shook his head decisively. "That's the result I calculated, but I don't know why it will affect Fragrant City."

"Captain, could you be any more of a fortune teller?" Ah Xin complained, "How come you can't predict anything?"

"Then let me ask you this: I have a Sequence 8 Bagua sequence, and I have to calculate this and that, even the changes in heaven and earth. Isn't it normal for me to occasionally encounter things that I can't calculate?!"

Chu Sheng sat to the side, watching their various methods of starting a fire fail. He sighed helplessly, then glanced around and saw a black flame attach to the wood and begin to burn.

The black flames were extremely hot. As soon as they appeared, the surrounding moisture seemed to encounter a deadly nemesis, dissipating into nothingness within two meters of the black flames.

Or rather, all the water vapor within two meters was evaporated by the black flames.

The water vapor and mist two meters away seemed to be drawn by a huge suction force, constantly surging towards the area where the black flames were evaporating.

However, it will evaporate directly if you get within two meters.

The black flames shrank rapidly due to the water mist, and disappeared in a short while.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hui poured a cup of gasoline onto the wood that had been evaporated by the black flames, and then lit it, and a bright yellow flame rose up.

Ordinary flames don't have the temperature of black flames, nor do they require mental energy. With enough wood, even though they are covered by moisture again, they still don't go out.

The fire was greatly reduced by the water mist. The flames that could have risen as high as a person were now only as high as a forearm and were covered by the water mist.

"Your ability is really useful!" Captain Hui looked at Chu Sheng and exclaimed, "It's a good thing we have you. If it weren't for your ability, we would probably all have frozen to death."

This mist is more disgusting than rain or snow.

You can avoid rain and light snow, but this kind of water mist is everywhere. Once you come into contact with it, you'll be soaked through in just a few minutes, and your clothes will be wet if you wring them out even slightly.

It's even more disgusting than being enveloped in high temperatures.

Upon hearing what Hui said, Chu Sheng no longer wanted to speak.

They had been in the misty area for a week.

Poyang Lake is still the same Poyang Lake; even after a week of traveling, you still can't see the end of it.

They're almost getting used to this awful weather.

He relies on his black flames to start a fire every day, and although he doesn't use much mental energy, it's still really annoying for him.

At this moment, Kyoko, who was sitting next to him, thought for a moment and said, "In this kind of weather, it's okay for a short time, but if it goes on for a long time, your body won't be able to take it."

"The burden on the lungs will increase. It's not a big problem in the short term, but in the long term, the lungs may swell, or even become infected with bacteria, leading to lung diseases such as pneumonia." She paused, looked at everyone, and continued, "In addition, if there is industrial pollution or other pollutants in the water mist, it can cause other symptoms, and may even lead to popcorn lung."

"If possible, try to leave here as soon as possible, or go directly to Poyang Lake, where there is less water mist and you are unlikely to have any accidents."

As a physician, Xingzi's words are quite convincing.

Hui took a deep breath of the mist and sighed, "I also want to get you out of here as soon as possible, but I can't calculate how big this area covered by the mist is."

"Perhaps we will only have relevant information when we encounter a fleet or other convoy."

Speaking of the fleet, Captain Hui frowned and started calculating again, "This shouldn't be the case. I predicted that we would encounter a fleet, but we haven't met it yet."

Chu Sheng got up before he could finish calculating.

"I'm going back to sleep now. Call me with the conch shell if you need anything."

As he spoke, he walked towards the Netherworld Chariot.

The team will rest here for a day, and Chu Sheng is ready to get a good night's sleep.

But before that, he was going to create something.

The lighter he got from that green-haired turtle Gu Hao.

Since regular lighters don't work, let's make a sacrificial lighter!

He now also possesses six extraordinary materials.

(The extraordinary materials currently possessed by everyone)
Back on the Netherworld Chariot, Chu Sheng immediately closed the door to prevent too much water vapor from getting in.

After entering this place, Chu Sheng was even more satisfied with the Netherworld Chariot.

The water vapor that seeped into the car was being absorbed by the flesh and blood adhering to the car frame at an extremely fast speed, and soon the water vapor inside the car had completely dissipated.

It wasn't until he entered this place that Chu Sheng realized that the wriggling flesh could absorb water mist.

This is an unexpected surprise!

Back in the bedroom, Chu Sheng held the lighter in one hand, while a black flame appeared in his other hand.

The lighter began to melt the instant it came into contact with the black flames.

Upon seeing this, Chu Sheng did not hesitate at all, and a beam of white light enveloped both of them.

The black flames originated from within his body, and he couldn't think of anything that could match a lighter. His last gaze fell upon his own black flames.

As the fusion ended, information about the lighter appeared in his mind.

Eternal Flame

[Ranking of offerings: 5317]

[Eternity: Consuming one-tenth of one's mental energy, the flame from the lighter transforms into an eternally burning flame, requiring no fuel!]

[Dispelling: In ancient times, fire dispelled the fear brought by the night! It dispels the fear and confusion in people's hearts!]

[Hymn: Flame is a symbol of courage, and courage is a hymn to humanity! It can give people courage!]

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

[The cost of use: The flame of civilization, eternally burning! This is the price you must pay to pass on civilization! Without the resolve to sacrifice for civilization, the eternal flame will consume everything!]

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

This wave can only be described as Black Flame awesome.

The lighter was still the same lighter, but Chu Sheng felt a change when he held it in his hand.

Before, holding it in my hand only gave me a feeling of heartbeat, but now holding it in my hand, I feel a sense of antiquity and vicissitude.

"pat~"

Chu Sheng directly consumed one-tenth of his mental energy, and an orange-red flame rose from the top of the lighter.

It is a flame, but it gives people a sense of grandeur and magnificence.

It was as if endless energy was contained within this flame.

As Chu Sheng's mental energy was depleted, the flame slowly floated in the air, circled around the bedroom, and then stopped in front of Chu Sheng.

Then, as if it had found a place to live, it burrowed directly into Chu Sheng's brow, transforming into a red flame pattern that appeared there.

With the appearance of the flame pattern, Chu Sheng's originally inhuman temperament, which was made him look somewhat inhuman by his white hair and scarlet eyes, began to exude a sense of righteousness.

The eerie aura blended with the grandeur of the righteous, giving Chu Sheng a contradictory aura.

It possesses a strange and eerie beauty.
