Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 203 I...I think I've awakened a sequence!

If there were no Eternal Flame, that would be one thing, but if there were something like the Eternal Flame, and one could see a certain attitude of the Mechanical City through its existence, then naturally one would want to go and see it.

The condition for subduing the Eternal Flame is the determination to sacrifice everything for civilization.

This condition may not reveal whether the Mechanical City will take action against them, but it is certain that as long as most of them can absorb the Eternal Flame, their stance will at least be lawful.

Chu Sheng had previously thought that as long as someone knew about the existence of the Eternal Flame and the conditions for its subjugation, they would naturally trust those who possessed the Eternal Flame more than others.

The same principle applies to the people in the Mechanical City at this moment.

Although Wang Jianguo did not say it explicitly, he was equally aware of this.

The moment Chu Sheng explained the Eternal Flame's abilities and the conditions for its subjugation, he knew the correct way to use it.

As one of the decision-makers of one of the official bases for the spread of the virus, Wang Jianguo was aware of this, and at the same time, he changed his attitude towards Chu Sheng and the others.

After parting ways with Chu Sheng and the others yesterday, his impression of Chu Sheng and the others dropped significantly after the lie detector test and debriefing. However, after hearing Chu Sheng talk about the power and cost of the Eternal Flame today...

Upon seeing Chu Sheng and the others who possessed the Eternal Flame, his favorability rating instantly rebounded, even increasing significantly.

Whether you're telling the truth or not, as long as you possess the eternal fire, then we're good friends!
Your lie then becomes a white lie told to protect yourself.

Everything for civilization!
His civilization is not human, but Chinese.

Human civilization is civilization, and Chinese civilization is also civilization.

After finishing the conversation with Chu Sheng, all that was left was to wait for someone to come and ignite the Eternal Flame.

But Wang Jianguo didn't sit idly by; instead, he turned to look at Xingzi.

The sacrificial offerings and endless energy created by Chu Sheng are important to the Mechanical City, but the medical supplies that Xingzi brought out yesterday are equally important.

Bandages can stop bleeding almost instantly, enhanced cold medicine can cure colds and fevers in a short time, and adrenaline can enhance combat power.

You can never have too many of these three types of medical supplies.

In the apocalypse, the three most important things are food, medical care, and strength.

Food ensures survival, medical care ensures survival, and strength ensures a longer life.

Ultimately, after negotiations, Wang Jianguo purchased 1,000 rolls of bandage made of extraordinary material at the price of 10 rolls.

The price of one extraordinary material equals ten cold medicines, but I bought a thousand enhanced cold medicines instead.

For the price of two extraordinary materials and one dose of adrenaline, I bought fifty doses of adrenaline.

A total of three hundred extraordinary materials were used to purchase these three types of supplies.

Xingzi originally priced the bandages for the team at one roll of food for every ten kilograms of food, one dose of adrenaline for every one hundred kilograms of food, and one cold medicine for every two kilograms of food.

If any survivor is lucky enough to find an extraordinary material, they can exchange it for 100 kilograms of food from her.

When trading with the City of Machines, she didn't raise the price of bandages, but she significantly increased the prices of cold medicine and adrenaline.

The two reached a deal, and neither party tacitly mentioned delivery.

Just as Wang Jianguo was about to ask Hui what else he could trade, Xingzi pulled a leaf from her bosom; it was emerald green and shimmered with a bluish light.

"Mr. Wang, would you like this?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo immediately stopped talking to Hui and took the leaf from Xingzi's hand with some confusion.

【The Healing Leaf】

[Category: Creation (Extraordinary)]

[Recovery: After ingestion, it heals all external injuries and stabilizes internal injuries, preventing them from worsening!]

[Mental State: Restores 5% mental energy within one minute!]

[Medical professional: Shelf life is one year; it will slowly lose its effectiveness over the year after the expiration date!]

Upon sensing the information in his mind, Wang Jianguo's hand trembled slightly. He then looked up abruptly, his expression calm, but his eyes revealed excitement.

Forcibly suppressing his emotions, Wang Jianguo took a deep breath and asked, "What is the price of the Healing Leaf?"

"It's not expensive, one piece for ten extraordinary materials, but making this kind of thing consumes a lot of my mental energy, so I only have five pieces in stock."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo nodded, guessing that it was true. This kind of thing was obviously not simple; you could tell just by looking at its appearance.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll take them all!"

He then looked at Xiao Zhan beside him and said, "Xiao Zhan, make a note of this. The transaction with Comrade Chu Ci is for one thousand extraordinary materials, four endless energy offerings, and two hundred ordinary offerings."

"The deal with Comrade Li Xing involved 350 pieces of extraordinary materials, 1,000 rolls of bandages, 1,000 cold pills, 50 doses of adrenaline, and 5 healing leaves."

"Okay." Xiao Zhan nodded without any emotion.

Wang Jianguo wanted to say something, but Xiao Zhan interrupted him directly, saying, "They're here."

"We've arrived at the ground floor of the reception building and are coming up."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Sheng and the others saw a large group of people standing on the steel elevator, ascending from the bottom to the top of the reception building.

Upon seeing the hundred-plus people from the Mechanical City, Wang Jianguo immediately stepped forward and addressed the three people standing at the front: "Old Qin, Old Wang, Little Li."

"You are finally here!"

As he spoke, he wiped away non-existent cold sweat.

"Why are you like this?" Old Qin asked, looking at him with some confusion. Wang Jianguo sighed upon hearing this and turned to look at Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan clearly understood his meaning and immediately told Chu Sheng and the others about their deal.

As she spoke, Lao Qin and the others fell silent.

Yesterday, when Wang Jianguo and Chu Sheng met, they mentioned that the Mechanical City stored over a thousand extraordinary materials, but in reality, it stored two thousand four hundred.

But it can't withstand such use.
In the short time it took them to come up from the secret room in the steel elevator, Wang Jianguo had already used up 1,350 pieces of extraordinary materials.

But after listening to Xiao Zhan's story, they had no choice but to make the deal.

Whether it's Chu Sheng's sacrificial offerings or Xingzi's medical supplies, there's never too much of anything.

The offerings can be used indefinitely and can be passed down to others. With the offerings, the safety of the Mechanical City will be greatly improved. Although the endless energy type of offerings costs one hundred extraordinary materials each, they are equally important to the Mechanical City. With these, they will no longer have to worry about energy issues.

Two hundred sacrificial offerings and four pieces of inexhaustible energy—not to mention Wang Jianguo, even the rest of them felt it wasn't enough.

They wished they could exchange all the extraordinary materials for sacrificial offerings.

The same goes for Xingzi's medical supplies: bandages that stop bleeding almost instantly, cold medicine that works immediately, adrenaline to enhance life-saving abilities, and healing leaves that instantly heal external injuries, stabilize internal injuries to prevent them from worsening, and restore mental energy.

Besides cold medicine, other medical supplies are equally important.

But this doesn't mean that these 1,000 cold medicines are unimportant; stocking up on cold medicines is also an important thing.

Thinking about it, Old Wang scratched his head, "If we had known this would happen, we should have been more careful with those extraordinary materials."

"Sigh." Wang Jianguo shook his head and then sighed.

"Let's not talk about that for now. The Eternal Flame will also require 120 pieces of extraordinary materials."

Everyone: "."

After a brief exchange, Wang Jianguo looked at Chu Sheng. Before he could speak, Chu Sheng pulled a lighter out of his pocket.

"Pay first, who wants to go first?"

"I'll go first." Wang Jianguo stood first, then looked at Yang Jing, who was somewhat lost in thought, and said in a more authoritative voice, "Comrade Yang Jing, please provide one hundred and twenty extraordinary materials."

"Yes." Yang Jing immediately regained his composure and took out one hundred and twenty extraordinary materials from his satchel.

Seeing this, Chu Sheng drew the butcher from his waist and summoned him to his side.

"Waaaaah!"

"Butcher, move these things to the truck."

Upon hearing this, the butcher looked at the extraordinary materials on the ground and let out a puzzled cry, "Waaaaah?"

However, he quickly turned his back to the materials, then used the tentacles behind him to wrap up the more than one hundred extraordinary materials, and walked towards the Netherworld Light, making strange "wai-ga-ga" noises as he went.

Although it wasn't the first time Wang Jianguo had seen the butcher, he still felt his sanity drop.

This offering called the Butcher is far more bizarre than anything else.

On the contrary, Hui and the others seemed to be used to the Butcher's appearance and did not have much reaction to him. In particular, Ah Xin even found the Butcher's appearance ugly-cute.

Chu Sheng ignored their thoughts and instead looked at Yang Jing with a half-smile, "Brother Yang, aren't you coming?"

"No, thank you." Yang Jing smiled somewhat awkwardly. "We don't have many materials left, so every piece saved is a piece saved."

Chu Sheng smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

Wang Jianguo and the others did not react to his words.

Chu Sheng handed the lighter to Wang Jianguo and said, "Just press it down like a normal lighter."

"The usage is the same, only the flame is different."

"Although I've said it once, I still want to emphasize it again: if you're not prepared to sacrifice for civilization, don't try it, or don't blame me if you die."

"Of course," Wang Jianguo nodded. "I believe in my own awareness, and I believe in the awareness of the soldiers!"

Without hesitation, he pressed the button.

A golden-red flame ignited on the lighter, and Wang Jianguo instantly felt a strange sense of peace.

At the same time, knowing more leads to an instant dissipation of confusion and fear about the future, replaced by a courage to face the future head-on.

"I see." Wang Jianguo looked at his own eternal flame, a blend of gold and red, with a dazed expression.

This was the first time he had truly mastered extraordinary power.

"Is this the meaning of the Eternal Flame?"

Just as he was in a daze, Lao Qin, who was standing behind him, pulled him aside.

"Don't hog the spot and not do your business! It's my turn!" he said, snatching the lighter from Wang Jianguo's hand and pressing the button without hesitation.

Then a red flame ignited, and an aura of war and conquest immediately emerged.

Not only the Eternal Flame, but even Old Qin exuded an aura of war and conquest.

"I think I've awakened my sequence!"
