Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 178 The City of Machines! An Official Move!

Qiqi was terrified and tried to stay as far away from Sister La as possible, her eyes fixed on the blood-red kitten.

But without Sister La's help, she wouldn't dare leave.

She not only had wounds on her arms, but her face was also covered in scratches.

This was scratched by La-jie.

In addition, her hair was also messy, and a small section of hair had been pulled out, which looked extremely terrifying.

But what terrified her most was the blood-red kitten.

"Hmph! It's an honor that a piece of trash like you can feed my boobs!"

La Jie held up the blood-red kitten and looked at Qi Qi with disdain. Then she looked at the blood-red kitten she was holding and a smile returned to her face.

"Aren't you right, little Mimi?"

"Meow~"

The blood-red kitten didn't react much, it just meowed once.

Qiqi listened to her words from the side, her eyes filled with resentment, her head down and her hands clenched tightly.

The blood-red kitten is clearly hers!

Why should she take him away?!
And all these people around me, who were clearly trying to please me before!

They all have to die!
Qiqi was filled with many thoughts, but she still appeared frightened and weak.

Meanwhile, on the bus, in another corner, three burly men huddled together, shifting their gaze away from Sister La and Qi Qi.

"Old Zhou, Old Liu, this is probably going to be dangerous. You two be careful. If there's any danger, we'll run to that woman."

"She doesn't even deserve to be a sacrificial offering?"

Upon hearing this, Old Liu nodded. "I know, it's about shifting the blame."

"So what if there are offerings? When she dies, the offerings will just fall into our hands anyway. We don't need to fight that cat."

The other two nodded in agreement. "That woman doesn't seem very bright. Let's flatter her a bit later."

"Look at her, she gets so happy after just a few compliments that she loses all sense of direction."

As Old Wang spoke, he looked at Sister La again, and saw her laughing wildly with some disdain.

Not only them, but other survivors on the bus also had their eyes on Sister La.

They dared not even dream of sacrificing to those with sequence abilities. Among the survivors, Zhou Dun and Wu Jie's sacrificial offerings were hard to snatch, but this idiot's sacrificial offering was something they couldn't even get?
La Jie was still oblivious to the impending doom, happily listening to the compliments from the people around her.

"Stay close to me, and you'll get plenty of benefits later!"

Her words left the few people around her who had been flattering her speechless. Two of them exchanged glances and smirked.

Qiqi sat next to her, still curled up in a ball, but the hatred in her eyes intensified.

Chu Sheng and the others at the front of the convoy were unaware of what had happened among the survivors, but even if they had known, they would most likely have acted as if nothing had happened.

Chu Sheng would even add a comment about his inherent flaws.

"The surroundings are starting to change."

Within the light of the underworld, Ah Xin kept an eye on the changes outside. When she saw the original dirt road gradually turning into wooden planks, with a plank appearing every now and then, she spoke to the others.

"We should enter the realm of the dead!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked outside and saw the wooden planks flying by, realizing what had happened.

Chu Sheng stood up, opened the cockpit door, and sat in the driver's seat.

He could let Youming drive itself in front, but he'd better keep an eye on things for now.

Looking out from the side of the Netherworld Light, there wasn't much useful information, but from the driver's seat, Chu Sheng saw the gathering of dark clouds ahead.

His eyes can see black mist within a kilometer, and this black mist is the root of the eerie phenomenon.

But at this moment, he sat in the driver's seat, looking ahead in silence.

His eyes broke through the kilometer limit and saw the black mist in the distance ahead.

In the past, he would have felt happy, but now, he only feels terrified.

This wasn't due to a breakthrough in his eyesight, but rather because the black energy was so dense that he could still see it even tens of thousands of meters away.

In his field of vision, there was a dark cloud ahead, with billowing black smoke constantly rising from below and merging into it.

That's not a dark cloud, that's just black mist!

There was so much black energy that it covered the entire world!

The world, which had been bright with the rising sun, now appeared gloomy in his eyes, just like the approaching downpour.

It was the middle of the day, but it felt like it was seven or eight in the evening, and it would be dark as soon as you closed your eyes.

"what happened?"

An Xi approached Chu Sheng and saw that his brows were furrowed deeply. He looked ahead, but in her eyes, nothing had changed; the road was still sunny.

“There are many strange things ahead.” Chu Sheng did not reveal the ability of his eyes, but directly stated the result.

"A lot? How much is a lot?" Hui walked in at that moment, his right hand constantly calculating.

Chu Sheng glanced at him and said, "It's probably more than all the strange things we've ever encountered combined."

"Moreover, with so many strange phenomena, there must be some very strong ones, such as the strange phenomena of Sequence Seven or even Sequence Six."

An Xi instantly became serious, her grip on the black jade bone spear tightened, and she said in a dry voice, "I can definitely make a way out!"

Just as Hui was about to speak, Chu Sheng glanced at him and spoke first, "I don't need you to clear the way!"

"The underworld will clear the way."

"Yes!" a mechanical voice rang in everyone's ears, "Where I am, there is a path."

Hui nodded, then said, "There seems to be a convoy ahead."

"A convoy?!"

"A convoy ahead?!" Chu Sheng looked at Team Leader Hui, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He found it hard to imagine that there would be a convoy of vehicles beneath the dark cloud of black mist ahead.

That level of black energy probably possesses an eerie quality that's not just two or three digits, but four digits.

There's still someone here?!
Chu Sheng said he didn't understand.

Hui seemed to sense his confusion and doubt, and said again, "There are many strange things ahead, conservatively estimated to be over six hundred, and it is normal to exceed one thousand."

"But that convoy, actually, can't be called a convoy; it should be called a city."

"That city attracted the vast majority of the supernatural beings. There are tens of thousands of survivors in the city, which seems to be the work of the authorities before the apocalypse."

Upon hearing that it was an official operation, Chu Sheng immediately understood.

He was able to analyze so many sequence abilities at the end of the world, formulate a post-apocalyptic migration policy, and contact all the sequence ability users who had awakened and were suitable to serve as guides.

He wouldn't be surprised by anything the authorities come up with.

Just like Xu Aiguo, whom I met before, it was also an official project, and he was extremely envious of that train.

Even though the Light of the Underworld has become like this, he still envies the train.

If he owned a train like that, he'd dare go anywhere.

Without a doubt, although that train possesses a sequence ability, it is most likely also a sacrificial offering.

Moreover, it is a sacrifice that surpasses the light of the underworld.

After all, the train is so big, has unlimited power, and can automatically produce food for thousands of people.

Not to mention that, as a creation of sequence abilities, the train can definitely be upgraded gradually.

Its ranking will inevitably surpass that of the Netherworld Light.

The same applies to the cities mentioned earlier.

The ranking of the offerings reveals a lot. Chu Sheng's doubts were dispelled, but An Xi became excited.

"A city? Is it the City of Dawn?"

“No.” Hui shook his head and explained again, “My calculations based on the survivors in the city indicate that they possess the ability to create mechanical objects.”

"That city was originally built entirely of machinery, and then it was controlled by a mechanical sequence ability user."

"According to them, it's a city of machines."

"Okay." An Xi was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up.

She knew in her heart that if the City of Dawn really existed, it was highly unlikely that it could be found so quickly.

If it were that easy, it wouldn't be the City of Dawn.

As more and more planks appeared on the ground, Chu Sheng and the others could hear the distant sound of cannon fire.

"Should we go over there?" Kyoko poked her head out of the bedroom; she had obviously heard what Hui had said earlier.

Upon hearing her words, Chu Sheng looked at Team Leader Hui.

Hui hesitated for a moment, then said, "Wait for me."

As he spoke, he took out the tortoise shell and began to calculate.

Just over ten seconds later, Hui let out a breath and nodded to Chu Sheng.

"past!"

"Okay." Chu Sheng nodded without asking why.

Since Hui is the leader who can guide them to choose the right path, he will not question it.

Even if it feels dangerous ahead.

He understood the principle that everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

After all, he didn't believe that Captain Hui would risk his life.

And if all else fails, he still has the Netherworld Light, which will allow him to reach his speed and keep even the strange creatures from catching up with him.

Three or four kilometers ahead of them, a city surrounded by walls was being besieged in a bizarre manner.

The city wall is over 200 meters high, and there is a machine gun every two meters on the top of the wall, with one person operating each pair of machine guns.

Between every two people, there was a machine gun automatically firing.

In addition, grenades were constantly being thrown outwards through the gaps in the machine guns on the city wall.

The city, which is over 200 meters high, is not large; it is cylindrical in shape and only about two kilometers in diameter.

On the walls of the mechanical city, a woman whose body was half mechanical watched the eerie attacks from outside.

Beside her was an ordinary person, around sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair, but with a very tough and resolute demeanor.

"Xiao Zhan, how much ammunition do we have left?"

"At its current strength, it can still be used for three more years." The mechanical woman named Xiao Zhan's voice was somewhat indifferent.

"There aren't many left," Wang Jianguo sighed. "I wonder how the others are doing."

"You'll encounter it while you're alive," Xiao Zhan said succinctly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo sighed again, "These strange creatures are like flies. If it weren't for your ability to recover the spent cartridges and bullet waste, we probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for this long."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan fired a beam from the eye of his mechanical half-head, aiming at a strange, Sequence 7 creature outside.

The instant the ray and the strange object came into contact, an unparalleled explosion erupted.

In an instant, smoke and dust completely covered the eerie creature, and the echoes of the explosion reverberated for several kilometers around.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, a deep pit, seven or eight meters deep and more than forty meters wide, appeared on the spot.

The strange creature that was hit has disappeared.

"We're running out of energy," Xiao Zhan's voice reached Wang Jianguo's ears.

Wang Jianguo gave a wry smile, "Don't launch such a powerful bombing attack next time."

"Our energy reserves are also running low."

"Hmm." Xiao Zhan nodded, but whether he actually listened was another matter.

Only then did she answer Wang Jianguo's earlier question, saying, "If we don't have enough ammunition, then let's find an iron mine and mine for a day."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo unfolded the map he had been holding.

This map is only 40 or 50 centimeters long, but it contains a lot of information.

Global map, domestic map.

At the same time, various resource points and food storage points are densely marked on it.

Not only that, it also records the areas surveyed and summarized before communication was interrupted.

The strange realms that Chu Sheng and the others had previously experienced, with their extreme high temperatures and misty fog, were all marked.

"The nearest iron ore mine is quite far away."

“We have to go even if it’s very far. We can do without gunpowder, and we can still fire bullets without gunpowder, but iron is a necessity.”

"I know," Wang Jianguo said, wanting to continue speaking, but at that moment a voice entered his and Xiao Zhan's minds.

"Old Wang! Someone's coming from about two kilometers away!"

"It looks like a convoy. They heard our firing and seem to be quite strong."

Wang Jianguo and Xiao Zhan were taken aback. They looked in the direction indicated by the voice in their minds and asked at the same time, "Can you communicate with the other party?"

"If you can get in touch with them, tell them to leave quickly!"

"There are many strange things here, it's too dangerous!"

"Can't get in touch!" the voice came again. "Their vehicle seems to be a sacrificial offering, isolating my mental energy from it."

"Keep trying. If that doesn't work, then notify the Spark Squad to try and rescue them."

"Ok."

"Master, a communication has been received from the front. Shall we connect?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Chu Sheng heard Youming's voice, frowned, and pondered for a moment, "How did the communication come through?"

"It came through the radio," Ghost's voice rang out again.

"Before the radio transmission, a mental signal also came through, but it was blocked by the Netherworld Bone's ability."

"This must be a communication from the people ahead," An Xi asked, frowning in confusion, while looking at Captain Hui.

Hui shook his head. "Don't look at me, I don't know."

"The other party is most likely a sequence ability user."

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Connect it."

Upon receiving Chu Sheng's command, a crackling sound came from the speakers, accompanied by a young female voice.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

Hui and the others remained silent.

The person on the other end continued shouting, "Hey, can you hear me?"

"That's strange, the call definitely went through."

"I can hear you," Chu Sheng said, his voice carrying over.

Upon hearing his voice, the other party seemed relieved and hurriedly said, "There are more than a thousand strange creatures in the direction you are heading, and there are probably still eight or nine hundred left."

"Please take a detour immediately, otherwise the monster might turn and attack you!"

"Please respond if you hear me!"
