Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 211 Extreme Rainstorm! Ten Times the Torrential Rain!
The team was unaware of the expectations the Mechanical City had for them.

It had been half a month since the convoy left the mechanical city.

Thanks to the combined efforts of Ah Xin and Hui, they encountered no strange attacks along the way, and didn't even see a single strange creature.

While driving, they rely on Hui's sequence ability to avoid the supernatural, and when resting, they rely on Ah Xin's ability to shield the convoy from life force, preventing the supernatural from sensing the convoy.

They set off at sunrise and rested at sunset every day.

"These are the good days," Zhu Qing sighed as she stood on the roof of the car, watching the sunset.

"It's been a long time since I've had such normal weather."

Hearing his words, Hui said quietly from the side, "You're celebrating too soon."

Zhu Qing: "???"

He looked at Captain Hui with a blank expression. Captain Hui was also looking at the slowly setting sun in front of him before continuing, "I didn't know there would be extreme heat before, so I didn't predict it. But now that I know there will be extreme weather, I will take it into account when I make calculations."

Instead of answering directly, he started talking about the past.

Hearing his words, Zhu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

"So...there's extreme weather ahead?"

Zhu Qing swallowed hard, as if recalling the extreme heat and water vapor from before, and shivered.

Chu Sheng and the others watched Hui Dui from the side.

Who wants to encounter extreme weather if they can have normal weather?

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Captain Hui nodded. "Today is the last day."

"Even if you don't ask, I was planning to tell you later."

"We're resting here today to prepare in advance."

He sighed and continued, "If we continue driving for another thirty kilometers tomorrow, we will encounter a light drizzle. After driving forty kilometers, the light drizzle will turn into a light drizzle, and after driving another twenty kilometers, the light drizzle will turn into a moderate drizzle."

"Ten kilometers further on, the rain turned from moderate to heavy, and finally to torrential."

"In other words, if we continue forward, we will encounter torrential rain within 100 kilometers, and this torrential rain will not stop."

"If we maintain our current speed, we'll be driving in the downpour for three months."

"Full speed ahead." He paused, glanced at Chu Sheng, and added, "Full speed for a normal vehicle."

"If we go at full speed, we can probably get out in about a month."

"So, we're going to experience at least a month of torrential rain?" Old Li frowned.

“Yes!” Captain Hui nodded. “Moreover, the closer we get to the center of this extreme weather, the heavier the rain will be. According to my calculations, the rain in the center will be more than ten times heavier than the rain we will encounter at the beginning.”

"That's still a downpour? It's like water being poured from the sky!!" Zhu Qing stared wide-eyed at Captain Hui in disbelief.

Chu Sheng also seemed to be wearing a mask of pain. If it were just a downpour, it would be fine, but if it were ten times the downpour, it would be a natural disaster.

Even he, a man from the disaster-stricken Hunan province, felt that it was a natural disaster.

In his mind, anything that isn't an earthquake isn't a disaster.

Other places are flooded, he said: The rain is quite heavy.

While other places are experiencing drought, he said: "It's been a bit hot this year."

In other places, there were mudslides and landslides. He said: "That's how it is when it rains."

Hail fell elsewhere. He said, "It's hailing! That's great, it should snow next."

"Everyone, go and get ready. We're going to be experiencing heavy rain tomorrow."

"Prepare everything for heating, waterproofing, and rainproofing. Don't say I didn't warn you this time."

As Hui spoke, he looked at Cheng Xue beside him. Upon seeing him looking at her, Cheng Xue immediately understood his meaning and walked directly towards the survivors.

Behind Chu Sheng and the others' vehicles were Zhou Dun, Wu Meng, and their group's vehicles. Upon seeing Cheng Xue walking towards them, Wu Meng immediately smiled and asked, "Xiao Xue, are we stopping to rest again today?"

For the past two weeks, Cheng Xue would notify the survivors at this time every day to stop and rest, as well as the travel time for the next day.

Hearing Wu Meng's words, Cheng Xue pursed her lips and nodded.

Upon seeing her like this, Wu Meng felt a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment Cheng Xue said, "It's time to rest. We'll set off at the same time tomorrow morning."

"but."

She sighed as she spoke, "But we're about to encounter extreme weather."

"The captain asked me to inform you to prepare."

"What kind of extreme weather?" Zhou Dun's expression turned serious.

Having experienced so much with the convoy, they naturally know how terrible extreme weather can be.

It's not eerie, but it's even more eerie than eerie.

The previous extreme heatwave caused many people to unknowingly fall behind and die. While the humid weather is less severe, some still die from fevers and colds caused by the humid air and the lack of medication.

Every extreme weather event is a test.

"rainstorm."

Cheng Xue repeated Hui's team's exact words.

Wu Meng's expression was also very serious at this moment. "So, tomorrow it will start with light rain, then gradually turn into torrential rain, and the torrential rain will get heavier and heavier, eventually turning into ten times the torrential rain?"

“Yes.” Cheng Xue nodded, then looked at them with concern and continued, “You guys get ready, I’ll go and inform the others first.”

"Okay." Wu Meng nodded.

Watching Cheng Xue's departing figure, Zhou Dun's expression softened somewhat, but remained serious.

Wu Jie, Li Qian, and Li Ling stood by, worried but remained silent.

"Don't you still have a piece of extraordinary material? Take it out and give it to Chu Sheng." Wu Meng looked at Zhou Dun and said solemnly.

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Dun was not disturbed by Wu Meng's sudden words, but frowned as he looked at her.

Based on his understanding over this period of time, he knew that Wu Meng wouldn't make baseless accusations.

Wu Meng took a deep breath. "Torrential rain, a month's worth of torrential rain, and the central area is experiencing ten times the torrential rain."

"Think about it, if there were such a heavy rain in your home or other places, let alone if it lasted for a month, even if it only lasted for three or four days, what would happen?"

Wu Meng's words made Zhou Dun's already furrowed brows furrow even deeper.

A few seconds later, Zhou Dun looked at Wu Meng incredulously, his voice trembling slightly, "You mean..."

"That's right! A massive flood!"

“Normally, continuous heavy rain will cause floods. Although it was said to be a month of heavy rain, that only affected the convoy. In reality, the rain never stopped, so the area ahead was absolutely a vast expanse of water, with rivers everywhere!”

“Normal vehicles definitely can’t get through; only boats like Zhu Qing’s can.”

"Besides food, the only thing we can ask Chu Sheng to do is your extraordinary material."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Dun nodded and said, "I understand."

He took a deep breath and pulled out a piece of extraordinary material from his pocket. This was an extraordinary material he had obtained in the Ghost Realm, along with the fascia.

Because there was only one piece, it couldn't be used to make a sacrificial offering, so it has been kept until now.

At the very front of the convoy, Old Man Li held a bottle of baijiu in his left hand and pulled Chu Sheng along with his right hand to look at his pickup truck.

"Young Master Chu, help me modify it."

"What are you modifying?" Chu Sheng asked him, puzzled.

"Help me modify it so that it can transform into a boat like your car, or into an amphibious vehicle like Zhu Qing's."

Old Li picked up the bottle and took a swig.

"My materials are here, you can choose whatever you like." Old Li lifted the tarpaulin covering the cargo bed of the pickup truck.

At this point, the cargo bed in the back of the pickup truck was no longer filled with plants, but with stacks of extraordinary materials.

However, the quantity was not particularly large, only about forty pieces, and none of them contained a single bone.

Upon seeing this, Chu Sheng gave Old Man Li a deep look.

Although Old Man Li was drinking, he also felt Chu Sheng's gaze. He waved his hand dismissively, "As a plant, it's normal for me to use bones as fertilizer, right?"

Chu Sheng was taken aback. He hadn't thought of that before, but now, hearing Old Man Li's words, he nodded and recovered, "It's normal."

As he spoke, he climbed directly onto the back of the pickup truck and began rummaging through the extraordinary materials inside.

After a long while, he jumped out of the car and sighed, "Your extraordinary materials are actually quite complete. Don't even think about getting something like my Netherworld Light, but you can get something like Zhu Qing's, which is amphibious."

Upon hearing this, Old Li paused for a moment, his hand holding the wine bottle still, then nodded. "Alright!"

"You're honest in business, old man, I trust you!"

He patted Chu Sheng on the shoulder, "Just tell me what materials you need."

"Actually, there aren't many materials." Chu Sheng shook his head and took out a few extraordinary materials that he had just put in the side of the pickup truck's cargo bed.

"Foam, gyroscope, propeller."

"These three extraordinary materials are enough. I'll take two more from you, making a total of five extraordinary materials, to turn your car into an amphibious vehicle like Zhu Qing's."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Li nodded, "Okay."

"The buoyancy of this foam will ensure your car doesn't fall into the water." Chu Sheng waved the foam board in front of Old Man Li, then picked up a palm-sized gyroscope.

"This gyroscope has two properties: rotation and stability. I can use the stability property alone in combination with the foam board to make your car float on the water and remain stable."

As he spoke, he picked up the propeller again. This propeller was actually just a small toy, but whether it was a toy or not was not important to Chu Sheng.

"This propeller is even simpler; it's just used to power your pickup truck."
