Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 191 The Internal Meeting of the Mechanical City! It's all a scheme!

Seeing the butcher's actions, Hui, on the city wall, adjusted his glasses and gave Chu Sheng a meaningful look.

Ah Xin then asked, "What's the butcher doing?"

Chu Sheng glanced at her. "Drop the bomb."

"Drop a bomb?!" Ah Xin's eyes widened, and she looked towards where the butcher was.

At this moment, the cat's head was already biting the strange creature.

The strange creature seemed oblivious to their presence and continued charging towards the butcher and his companions.

But the next instant, a pure white light burst forth from the cat's head.

"Boom!"

A burst of white light, covering a radius of fifty meters, exploded, almost instantly engulfing the surrounding fifty meters.

The Butcher's ability: Breath Bomb.

A few seconds later, the white light slowly dissipated, and the vegetation in the previously covered area withered, and the land turned into sand.

The eerie cat-and-mouse pairing had vanished without a trace.

Only a rat's tail, more than two meters long, remained on the desertified land.

"Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut." Chu Sheng shook his head on the city wall.

For a killer with the strength of Sequence 7 to deal with a Sequence 9 monster, using a breath bomb would be a waste.

However, he also said other things. The emotions the butcher had just expressed clearly entered his mind, and he knew that the butcher was venting.

With this strange creature eliminated, there were no more strange creatures outside.

An Xi and her group returned to the city wall with their spoils, along with the twenty sequence ability users from before.

Back on the city wall, the butcher's tentacles placed the coiled rat tail on the ground and made a strange, boastful noise towards Chu Sheng.

"Okay, come back now. I'll give you a reward later."

"Waaaaah!"

The butcher, like a child, raised his head and then disappeared from the spot, returning to Chu Sheng's waist.

Seeing this, the twenty guardian squad members, though curious, remained silent, standing behind Wang Jianguo and Xiao Zhan.

Wang Jianguo smiled at them and patted the shoulders of the two men standing at the front. "Eagle, Viper, you've worked hard. You can go and rest now. Leave this to me and Xiao Zhan."

"Yes!" x2
Although the members of the Guardian Squad were curious, Wang Jianguo was clearly trying to get rid of them, and they had no reason to stay any longer.

Chu Sheng and the others simply watched, but they could tell that Wang Jianguo clearly didn't want them to have too much contact with the sequence ability users from the Mechanical City.

But that's normal; they would have done the same.

After the Guardian Squad left, before Wang Jianguo could speak, Captain Hui adjusted his glasses and suddenly asked, "Ah Xin, can your ability move with the Mechanical City?"

Upon hearing his words, Ah Xin was taken aback at first, then frowned and looked at him, before nodding after a moment.

"OK."

"I only need four points of support. As long as these four points move simultaneously, my ability can provide stable coverage."

As she spoke, she thought of the structure of the mechanical city and added, "Of course, four points are the minimum, more support points are better."

"Then use your abilities to cover this place up."

Ah Xin glanced at him and saw him nod slightly at her. Although she didn't know why the captain wanted her to reveal her abilities, she did as he said.

After all, nothing knows more than those with the ability to manipulate the Eight Trigrams Sequence.

Unless there is such a thing as an omniscient sequence.

With that thought in mind, Ah Xin had a sudden inspiration, and then, under everyone's gaze, a semi-transparent, semi-circular barrier rose from the city wall.

"I almost reached my limit." Ah Xin's face paled instantly, then she wiped away non-existent sweat. "This barrier can protect the Mechanical City for six hours."

"During this time, the life force emanating from the Mechanical City will be eliminated by the barrier. Unless you see it with your eyes at close range, you will not be able to sense the Mechanical City."

The cat ears on her head drooped limply, and she leaned wearily against An Xi.

"You guys have such abilities?!" Wang Jianguo stared at the crowd, somewhat incredulous.

Ah Xin closed her eyes, as if she had exhausted her mental energy, and did not answer.

Hui then spoke up, saying, "Our team's capabilities are somewhat unique."

Seeing that no one wanted to say more, Wang Jianguo didn't press the matter. Instead, he looked at Xiao Zhan beside him and said, "Xiao Zhan, could you please take us to the reception area?"

"Hmm." Xiao Zhan nodded, and then a steel plate was cut out of the city wall beneath their feet. He then led the group to move quickly along the city wall.

“You must be tired too. Let’s talk about the rest tomorrow,” Wang Jianguo said, looking at the rising scenery beside him.

He then looked at Hui and continued, "How about we copy each other's logs today?"

“Sure.” Team Leader Hui nodded.

Then the group started chatting about everyday things.

A minute later, led by Xiao Zhan's steel plate elevator, the group returned to where they had gotten off the bus.

There was no one there anymore.

The light of the underworld has also disappeared.

However, Chu Sheng was not surprised.

Just now, when Wang Jianguo led them to the city wall, he used his connection with the Netherworld Light to have the Netherworld follow the survivors.

We have now arrived at the reception area that Wang Jianguo mentioned.

The steel plate elevator continued to accelerate, and several seats appeared behind them.

Xiao Zhan said, "Please sit down. We're two minutes from the reception area."

Everyone nodded and sat down.

Two minutes later, led by Xiao Zhan and Wang Jianguo, the group arrived in front of a building. This was the only building in the area, and around it was an open space where the convoy's vehicles were parked.

This building is connected to the city wall, which is over 200 meters high.

This building is as tall as the city wall.

At this moment, Wang Jianguo stood up and introduced to everyone, "This is the reception area."

As he spoke, he pointed to the building next to him that was connected to the main building, and explained, "We had considered a long time ago that we would definitely come into contact with the motorcade in the future."

"That's how the current reception area came about."

"At the time, we considered that it was the end of the world and the convoy might not believe us, so the reception area was connected to the city wall."

“You can access the city wall directly from inside the reception building, and you can also exit directly from the city wall.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Zhan again without saying anything, and Xiao Zhan also remained silent, only nodding at him.

Xiao Zhan waved her hand, and steel plates immediately split off beneath the vehicle. Under her control, these steel plates supporting the vehicle flew towards the top of the reception building.

"Your car has also been placed on the top floor; you can go up and take a look later."

Hui looked up at the still-moving vehicle; from below, all he could see were steel plates. He then looked at Wang Jianguo and Xiao Zhan and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

He didn't hide his thoughts; upon seeing the Mechanical City, he was indeed somewhat wary of Xiao Zhan's casual manipulation of it. Wang Jianguo simply smiled, unconcerned, and continued, "You are the first convoy we've encountered, so this guesthouse is also the first time anyone has checked in."

"There are plenty of rooms inside, so I won't arrange any rooms for you. You can choose a room yourself."

"There is a large room on the city wall where you can stay."

"If there's any disturbance, you'll be the first to sense it." He paused, glanced at Chu Sheng, and then looked at An Xi, Zhu Qing, and Ah Xin.

"Including our ability to relocate you."

"It's not that bad," Chu Sheng waved his hand. "There should still be some trust between people."

"If we didn't trust you, we wouldn't have come in here."

"If there is more trust and love between each other, the world will become a better place."

"That's right!" Wang Jianguo looked at Chu Sheng with some appreciation, even though he knew Chu Sheng was faking it.

After glancing at Chu Sheng, Wang Jianguo continued, "Someone will bring our logs over later. Comrade Zhang can just give him your logs."

"Okay," Hui agreed.

Wang Jianguo then said, "I'll come to find you tomorrow at noon. Or if you want to find me or Xiao Zhan, you can call out to us from the city wall. There's a messenger offering there."

After a brief introduction, Wang Jianguo patted Xiao Zhan on the shoulder, and then the two left.

He had only taken a few steps when he stopped, turned around and looked at Chu Sheng, saying, "Comrade Chu, the extraordinary materials we picked up for you are all in the house on the city wall."

"Okay, thank you very much," Chu Sheng said gratefully.

Wang Jianguo smiled and waved his hand; this time, they were really leaving.

After they left, Ah Xin opened her eyes immediately.

Although her face was still a little pale, she hadn't felt much fatigued.

"Let's go, let's go to the top floor and take a look," Chu Sheng said to everyone, and then walked towards the reception building.

The crowd followed in his footsteps.

Five minutes later, Chu Sheng and the others arrived at the city wall.

The city wall here is different from the one we were on before. Here, there are buildings more than 30 meters high on both sides of the city wall, blocking the road leading to other places.

Clearly, this is the room Wang Jianguo mentioned, the room where these sequence ability users would live.

Their vehicles had been positioned in front of the houses on the left and right sides, while two machine guns were positioned directly in front.

In front of the two machine guns is a protruding platform, which is blocked by guardrails on the left and front, while a gentle slope descends on the right.

This is a road leading to the ground.

This road is more than ten meters wide and spirals down the city wall.

These are all the facilities on the city wall. In addition, there are currently seventy or eighty survivors on the city wall, who are discussing the Nether Light in a somewhat noisy manner.

But as soon as Chu Sheng and his group appeared, they immediately shut their mouths.

"Stay away from my car." Chu Sheng's voice was calm, but it sounded cold to the survivors.

Especially when you see his expressionless face.

As soon as he said that, the survivors who had been pointing and whispering around the Nether Light immediately ran to the other side.

Chu Sheng's voice still reached their ears, but it wasn't addressed to them.

"Netherworld."

"I am here!" A cold, mechanical voice echoed from the ghostly light, reverberating across the city walls.

"If they get close to you next time, shoot them!"

"Ok!"

"Defining proximity distance, definition complete!"

"Data extrapolation preparation in progress! Data extrapolation initiated! Data extrapolation preparation complete! Program started!"

The cold, mechanical sound wasn't loud, but it resonated in the hearts of the survivors.

The survivors, who had only heard of Chu Sheng's lack of compassion, now had a concrete understanding of it.

At the machine gun emplacement outside the city wall, Zhou Dun and his companions couldn't help but laugh at the state of the survivors.

"A bunch of idiots."

Team Leader Hui then waved to them, "Go back to your rooms. These are the rooms arranged for us. There are many rooms downstairs; you can choose whichever you like."

As soon as he spoke, the survivors ran downstairs, seemingly afraid that someone would kill them.

"Brother, you don't have to be so fierce," Xingzi whispered to Chusheng.

Hearing her words, Chu Sheng shook his head. "You don't understand."

“The petty people fear power but not virtue. If I want them to be quiet and peaceful, this is the only way I can behave.”

Although it wasn't what he truly felt, he was still willing to say a few more words for the sake of his image in Kyoko's eyes.

"In the apocalypse, people's hearts are unpredictable. If you are too nice to them, they will think you are easy to bully and then take advantage of you."

“If you speak harshly to them from the start, they will stay away from you. This protects them, and at the same time, it protects yourself.”

"To prevent them from having any bad ideas, and at the same time, to make them more obedient, so that more people can survive in the event of danger."

Kyoko suddenly realized, "But if that's the case..."

"It's alright!" Chu Sheng waved his hand. "Even if no one understands me, even if I'm seen as cold-blooded and inhuman, I accept it! As long as more people survive, I don't care if I'm stuck in the mud!"

An Xi and the others curled their lips when they heard his words.

Xingzi, on the other hand, looked at Chu Sheng with sparkling eyes, as if she saw the sun, moon, and stars in him.

At this moment, Hui said, "Let's not talk about this anymore."

"We should talk about the follow-up issues."

"And their invitation."

On the other side, after separating from them, Wang Jianguo and Xiao Zhan went directly to a secret room.

Including Wang Jianguo and Xiao Zhan, there are three other people in the secret room.

"Old Qin, Old Wang, Little Li, I've finished speaking, now it's your turn to speak."

Wang Jianguo looked at the two middle-aged men and the young man, his elbows resting on the table.

His expression was serious at this moment, and he exuded an aura of authority, completely unlike how he had acted in front of Chu Sheng and the others.

The middle-aged man, referred to as Lao Qin, was dressed in military uniform and had an extremely serious expression.

"One thing is certain: not a single word they are telling is true."

"Yes." Wang Jianguo nodded. "Although they didn't tell the truth, they didn't mean us any harm."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have told them about Chen Shi."
