Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 159 Zhu Qing's New Car, and the Other Fleets!
It has been more than nine months since the apocalypse. The dock is not large, and it is covered by water mist all year round, with a high humidity. Most of the dock has long been rusted.

The ground was filthy and messy, and several skeletons remained.

Every aspect reveals the desolation and ruin of this place.

The dock has long been abandoned, and the desolate, cold wind, carrying water mist, blows from Poyang Lake, bringing a biting chill.

"There are even boats in this place?"

Looking at the boats tied to the shore with ropes, Zhu Qing asked in confusion, "Didn't the survivors take all these boats away?"

"Do they have enough fuel to run?" Hui asked speechlessly from the side. "Boats are different from vehicles. A truckload of fuel only needs a few dozen liters, but a ship needs at least hundreds of liters of fuel."

"Furthermore, fuel is a major problem when hiding from the supernatural on Poyang Lake."

"Life will find its own way, and so will those with Sequence Abilities."

"One propeller is enough."

As Chu Sheng spoke, he touched the fish tail that he had tucked into his pocket.

"How could you say something like that?!" An Xi looked at Chu Sheng with disbelief.

The idea that life will find its own way, when spoken by Chu Sheng, felt strangely out of place.

Chu Sheng glanced at An Xi and said, "It's very dangerous to have a stereotype about someone. If you have a stereotype about me, I can use that stereotype to harm you."

"Young lady, please have less prejudice against me. I've changed a lot."

"Hehe." An Xi smiled wryly.

She would rather believe that pigs can fly than believe that Chu Sheng was a good person.

The group wandered around the dock, finding nothing but rusty iron and ruins.

The only things that might be of any use were some ropes and pieces of iron scattered on the ground.

Chu Sheng surveyed the dock, while Zhu Qing looked at the two ships tied to the dock, then turned to look at him.

"Chu Sheng, if you used your ability to merge a ship and a car together, wouldn't it become an amphibious vehicle?"

"Huh?!" Chu Sheng was taken aback, then glanced at Zhu Qing before looking at the two boats tied to the dock.

These are two fishing boats, old-fashioned wooden boats, about ten meters long, with an engine on them. They are used to cast nets in Poyang Lake.

Because they have been stationed here for quite some time, the space between the two boats used for passage has been filled with water, but they have not sunk.

These two ships can still be used if the water inside is scooped out.

(As shown in the picture)
Zhu Qing's words reminded him.

The current Nether Chariot can be described as perfect, but it can only be driven on land. Even though it can climb cliffs, it is still not quite ready to go into the water or fly.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhu Qing and said, "If you have any extraordinary materials, I can give it a try for you."

"I'm quite curious about the fusion of a ship and a car."

Although tempted, Chu Sheng would never use his Netherworld Chariot to fuse with this kind of ship.

That's not a buff, that's a pure nerf.

If the current Netherworld Chariot wants to fuse with other things, it must at least use extraordinary materials.

If you're going to fuse with ordinary items, it's better to just use your shaping ability to modify them directly.

"I'm out of extraordinary materials right now." Zhu Qing stroked his chin, then his eyes lit up as he looked at Chu Sheng and asked, "I owe you an extraordinary material. How about you help me fuse it?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng glanced at Zhu Qing again, thought for a moment, and said, "Calculate half the interest."

"You owe me one and a half extraordinary materials. If you don't give them to me within half a month, then you'll owe me two."

"The next time you encounter extraordinary materials obtained through strange means, your share will be automatically deducted."

"I generally don't accept credit." Chu Sheng said without any emotion.

Zhu Qing listened to his conditions, glanced at the boats on the shore, and hesitated.

He needs to think carefully about how to use one and a half pieces of extraordinary material to fuse a car and a ship together.

Seeing this, Chu Sheng didn't urge him. Although he was also very curious about what kind of thing would eventually be fused together, he didn't have to be curious if Zhu Qing was unwilling to spend money.

"You don't have a car anymore, do you?" An Xi frowned as she looked at Zhu Qing.

"With this key, aren't all the cars on the roadside mine?" Zhu Qing continued to look at the two boats, pondering in his heart.

Although the area is shrouded in mist, the damage to vehicles won't happen so quickly.

The vehicle is sealed, so the water mist only adheres to the surface of the vehicle, and the paint on the surface makes the water mist unable to affect the vehicle.

Because of the presence of this water mist, the vehicles on the roadside looked brand new, without a speck of dust covering them.

"Let's do it!" After a moment's thought, Zhu Qing finally decided to give it a try.

"Wait here for me, I'll go get a car and come back!"

Because the combat suit expands when it comes into contact with water, Zhu Qing, who was already two meters tall, grew to ten meters after saying those words.

When they arrived, they saw several cars in front of the dock.

Zhu Qing left for no more than three minutes before returning carrying a Wuling Hongguang van.

He held it like that, and the four-meter-long, one-ton van looked like a toy in his arms.

He seemed to be doing it effortlessly. Zhu Qing knew that Chu Sheng needed to put the two items together when they were merging, so he simply carried the van to the side of the boat.

Of the two ships, he chose the larger one.

Although it is larger than the other ship, it is not by much.

Seeing that Zhu Qing was all prepared, Chu Sheng naturally wouldn't let things fall apart. Although it was a debt, he wasn't afraid that someone would default on their debt.

This isn't the time before the apocalypse. Back then, if you were in debt, you could just be a deadbeat.

If someone owes money now, Chu Sheng will teach them a lesson.

With a flash of white light, almost instantly, the van and the boat merged together.

After seeing the fused product, Zhu Qing fell silent.

Hui coughed lightly and turned his gaze to the side.

Chu Sheng said somewhat awkwardly, "Although this thing may not be entirely satisfactory, I still need to accept the extraordinary materials you owe me."

Only An Xi, looking at the Wuling red lights and boats merged together, couldn't help but burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Hahaha! Zhu Qing! Your car! No! Your boat! No! Hahaha!"

An Xi leaned on Chu Sheng's shoulder with one hand, pointed at the things on the water, and couldn't stop laughing.

The boats on the water had disappeared, replaced by a strange-looking object.

The van was embedded in the middle of the fishing boat, while the front and rear of the boat were still preserved.

Through the water, you can see the van's tires at the bottom of the boat, but the van's doors have disappeared, leaving only the rear door, with three windows on each side.

This thing looks like a forced combination of a van and a boat.

However, as the van and the boat merged, the parts of the boat that were not merged were covered with iron plates, the same silver-white color as the van.

The boat's length was reduced from twelve meters to six meters, but it became much wider, about the same width as a minivan.

Although its structure looks a bit strange, it is clear that it can indeed travel on water and land.

It can barely be considered an amphibious vehicle.

Chu Sheng coughed lightly and looked at Zhu Qing. After all, this was something he had created himself, so he comforted her, "It's alright."

"Although it looks a bit strange, at least it was fused the way you wanted."

"Who can say this isn't amphibious?"

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, Zhu Qing looked tense, but still managed to tow the boat to the dock.

It cost him 1.5 pieces of extraordinary materials, so there's no way he'd throw it away.

An Xi was still laughing, while Hui was trying not to laugh.

Because the van was locked, and Zhu Qing was unwilling to use the decryption key herself, it could not be driven for the time being.

The group circled the dock twice more before returning to the Netherworld Chariot to head back.

There were four people on the bus when we came, and three people on the way back.

Zhu Qing transformed into a sixteen-meter-tall giant outside the Netherworld Chariot, carrying a six-meter-long boat and following behind it.

In the convoy, Ah Xin, Xingzi, Old Man Li, and Lu Guan sat around the campfire.

Xingzi looked in the direction Chu Sheng and the others had left, a hint of worry in her heart: "Will something have happened to Brother Chu Sheng?"

Ah Xin glanced at Xingzi and said helplessly, "Don't worry, with Xi Xi and Zhu Qing around, they'll be fine."

"Hmm." Kyoko nodded, but she was still a little worried.

Old Man Li glanced at Xingzi and silently shook his head. Xingzi must have done a lot of evil in her past life to have taken a liking to Chu Sheng.

Just then, Lu Guan pointed in the direction Chu Sheng and the others had left and said, "They're back!"

Everyone looked up and saw a dark, truck-like shape driving towards them from the other side of the mist.

They recognized the dark figure; it was Chu Sheng's Netherworld Chariot.

Less than ten seconds later, the Netherworld Chariot charged straight toward them like a raging beast, then came to an abrupt stop five meters away.

As the three got out of the car, Lu Guan looked inside and asked in confusion, "Where's my Brother Zhu?"

“Your brother Zhu is behind us.” Chu Sheng glanced at him and replied, “He got a new car, so you two won’t have to hitch a ride with the captain anymore.”

Chu Sheng's words made An Xi, who had already calmed down, laugh out loud again.

Hui also had a big smile on his face.

Lu Guan looked at the two of them suspiciously, feeling that something was not right.

"Is there something you haven't told me?"

Lu Guan looked at Chu Sheng and the other two with suspicion.

"You'll find out soon enough," Captain Hui coughed lightly.

Then his expression turned serious. "I did another calculation when I was at the dock. I should be able to encounter a fleet of ships at the dock tomorrow morning."

"This fleet is a bit different, so everyone should refrain from making any rash moves."
