Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 198 The Epic Enhancement of the Mechanical City
At nine o'clock in the morning, as Chu Sheng stepped down from the Netherworld Light, Xingzi, who had been watching him intently from inside the Black Heart SUV, silently shed tears.

Ah Xin got off the bus when it was just getting light.

Upon seeing Chu Sheng, Xingzi wiped away her tears, and a faint blue healing light appeared around her eyes, restoring her red and swollen eyes to normal.

He then got out of the car and walked quickly toward Chu Sheng.

"Brother Chu Sheng." Xingzi walked up to Chu Sheng, looked up at him, and although her heart ached, she still pursed her lips and asked, "Brother Chu Sheng, did that vicious woman An Xi go to see you?"

Upon hearing her words, Chu Sheng was immediately taken aback. Looking at Xingzi's somewhat fragile appearance, he pondered how to respond.

His hesitant manner, however, was seen by Kyoko as a sign that he dared not tell her the truth.

So Brother Chu Sheng was also afraid of hurting my feelings.

Xingzi felt even more bitter; it was all Anxi's fault!
If it weren't for An Xi, Brother Chu Sheng would have already eloped with me!
Seeing that Chu Sheng was speechless for a long time, Xingzi clenched her fists and said firmly and resolutely, "Brother Chu Sheng, I will definitely help you!"

Chu Sheng: "???"

you help me?
How can you help me?

Before he could speak, Xingzi ran back, leaving Chu Sheng alone there feeling somewhat helpless.

He was just thinking about how to tell Xingzi that his relationship with Anxi was merely a transaction.

Before I could even say anything, Kyoko had already run off.

This is really
Chu Sheng watched as Xingzi got back into the black-hearted SUV and shook his head: "Never mind, let's talk about it next time."

He wasn't going to continue things with Kyoko like this.

The initial goal was to lure Kyoko to the caravan, which is why they used their good looks to their advantage.

Things are different now; it's best to be honest now.

He wasn't going to confess everything, but rather his relationship with An Xi.

Once this relationship is exposed or revealed, Kyoko will become estranged from him.

Instead of doing that, it's better to take the initiative to talk to her. Taking the initiative and being passive in this matter will lead to two completely different outcomes.

Chu Sheng thought for a moment, shook his head, went back to the car and took out a piece of cured meat about the thickness of a forearm. At the same time, he also dragged out the recliner he had obtained when he was collecting supplies, and walked towards the direction where Captain Hui was.

At that moment, Hui was sitting next to his car, while Cheng Xue was preparing food not far away.

Chu Sheng walked over to Cheng Xue and placed the cured meat on the cutting board.

"I'll have a meal with you all today; this is my food allowance."

Hearing his words, Cheng Xue was taken aback, then looked at Captain Hui.

Hearing the commotion, Hui turned his head and saw Cheng Xue looking at him. He didn't say anything, but nodded to her.

Seeing him nod, Cheng Xue picked up the cured meat from the cutting board, smiled at Chu Sheng, and said, "Okay, Brother Chu, leave it to me."

"Mm." Chu Sheng nodded, then dragged his deck chair over and lay down next to Hui.

Hui glanced at him, then at the armchair he was sitting in, and said to Chu Sheng, "You know how to enjoy yourself."

"It's alright." Chu Sheng shook his head, letting the sun warm him.

Although the world he saw was scarlet, it was only a different color; what he felt was the same.

Turning his head to look at Hui, Chu Sheng thought for a moment and asked, "Did you finish copying all the logs they sent yesterday?"

Hui nodded. "It's done."

"I have to say, the official 'spark base' is really something else."

"I always thought our team had experienced enough strange and unusual places, but I never expected that they had recorded everything we encountered in their logbooks."

"Extreme heatwaves, areas shrouded in mist, and so on—all of these are recorded in their logs. There are even records of extreme torrential rains, areas experiencing continuous flooding, areas with earthquakes every hour, and areas with volcanic eruptions that erupt constantly."

Every time Hui mentioned a region they hadn't experienced, Chu Sheng's face darkened further.

As Hui continued speaking, Chu Sheng quickly stopped him, saying, "I know, stop talking."

"I'll see for myself later."

"Okay." Hui nodded, then fell silent.

However, after only a few seconds, he couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Although you want to see for yourself, I still have to say that while Mechanical City is one of the Fire Seed Bases, don't trust it easily."

"Although I know you won't believe them, I still want to emphasize this to you."

Chu Sheng nodded. "I know."

“I knew they were trying to fool us when they talked about the Ghost Realm and the future sequence.”

"It's possible that powerful beings from the future are taking action, and it's possible that the existence of future sequences is real, but they definitely didn't tell us the truth."

"Or rather, they withheld some information."

"Hmm." Captain Hui nodded and sighed. "Do you know what I deduced from Wang Jianguo?"

"?"

"What I calculated is that they didn't lie or deceive us, but we also know for certain that they are hiding something."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Including what's recorded in the logbook."

"Isn't it good that it's all true?" Zhu Qing walked over at some point and couldn't help but interject after hearing their conversation. "If it's all true, then there's no need to think about it, right?"

Hui and Chu Sheng both turned to look at Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing felt a little flustered under their gazes.

"What's wrong? Am I right?"

He lacked confidence.

Hui shook his head and sighed, "You're thinking too simply." "What they said is all true, but who told you there's no need to judge?"

What if their information is wrong?

"and"

As he was speaking, Chu Sheng took over the conversation.

"Moreover, if you take some things out of a truth or change the order of some things, you will feel a completely different thing."

"The words are true, the events are true, but they sound false to the ear."

“My father, an aunt, and some uncles were playing cards in the room. My father and aunt were very happy to win money.”

Can you guess what the hidden word in this sentence is?

"My father and an aunt were very happy in the room."

As Chu Sheng spoke, he looked at Zhu Qing and smiled, "Is it true that Father and Aunt are in the room?"

"Ah."

"Are they happy because they won money?"

"Um"

"So, when you put the sentence together, does it mean this?"

Zhu Qing: "."

"So, the truth and lies are the least worrisome; the most ruthless are those that are all truth."

"Because you can't even identify the problem through certain means."

"Because it's all true."

"I don't understand what you guys are thinking, a bunch of scheming old bastards." Zhu Qing muttered a few words and walked away cursing.

After he left, Hui looked at Chu Sheng again and said, "They said yesterday they would give you a hundred extraordinary materials as a trade, but they probably won't give them to you until we meet today."

Chu Sheng smiled and said, "If the meeting doesn't go smoothly, they will only keep delaying this matter."

"So I didn't have any particular ideas in mind from the beginning."

He hadn't taken Wang Jianguo's words to heart at all.

After all, he had experienced making empty promises many times before the end of the world.

Anything you haven't gotten your hands on is just empty promises.

"In short, try to get some information out of them when you meet them at noon."

"Get more information out of us, even if it's incomplete or fragmented, it's still better than having no information at all. And there's one thing I'm sure of."

"Huh?" Chu Sheng looked at him in surprise.

"What can be confirmed?"

Hui smiled and looked at him. "They are indeed fighting for the survival of humanity."

"You figured that out?" Chu Sheng's eyes were full of disbelief.

"It was calculated using a tortoise shell."

Chu Sheng suddenly understood upon hearing this, and then fell silent.

The calculations done by Hui's team are completely different from those done using the tortoise shell.

If he calculated it, the accuracy of the information would only be around 70%.

However, if the calculation is done using a tortoise shell, then the accuracy of this information reaches 100%.

After a simple meal, Chu Sheng and Hui Dui lay down in the sun-drenched area, and Zhu Qing, Old Man Li, and others gathered around.

Even the exhausted An Xi recovered and emerged from the Netherworld Light with a radiant glow.

It's hard to believe that you can see maturity and intellect in an eighteen-year-old girl.

Once everyone had gathered, Hui glanced at Chu Sheng, who was lying on the recliner, then coughed lightly and suddenly said, "I'm going to tell Elder Wang and the others about the existence of the walled building."

As he spoke, his gaze was mainly fixed on Xingzi.

Upon hearing his words, everyone else turned their attention to Kyoko.

Xingzi was stunned when she heard this, and stared blankly at Captain Hui.

"Why did you tell Uncle Xu and the others about the Mechanical City?" she asked, puzzled.

Hui seemed to have anticipated her reaction, and without the slightest thought or hesitation, explained, "Because although the Mechanical City is wary of us, it is truly working hard for the continuation of humanity."

"And the people in the walled building, especially Xu An and that Sister Yan you're talking about, are very suitable for the Mechanical City."

"They are currently living under the shadow of extreme heat, so why not recommend them to move to the City of Machines?"

"This will make them safer, and the defenses of the mechanical city will become stronger and stronger."

At this point, he smiled and added, "And we can also benefit from it."

Upon hearing his words, Kyoko thought for a moment and realized that she seemed unable to refute them.

She used to think that the walled compound was already very safe, but after staying with the motorcade for a long time, she realized that the motorcade was actually very safe as well.

Despite the convoy wandering around, no eerie shadows could actually be seen.

It wasn't until she saw the mechanical city that she truly understood that the walled building was just a frog in a well, only seeing a small patch of sky when it looked up.
