Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 225 Burying the Goals of an Era
"What is he doing?!" Old Man Li was also dumbfounded, looking at Lu Guan sitting cross-legged on the roof of the car, with the White Bone Contemplation Sutra coming to his mind, he couldn't understand what Lu Guan was doing at all.

"Is he about to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven?!" Ah Xin stared blankly at Lu Guan, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the car, feeling quite uneasy.

Lu Guan's commotion not only caught the attention of those who had been watching him, but also drew the attention of Chu Sheng and the others who hadn't been paying attention to him.

Walking up to Ah Xin and Old Man Li, Chu Sheng asked in confusion, "Is he going to turn into the White Bone Demon?"

"Who knows?" An Xi, who had arrived at some point, shrugged, stuck the black jade bone spear into the ground, and leaned against it, looking at Lu Guan on the roof of the car.

Meanwhile, Zhu Qing and Wang Meng, who were further away, also stopped sparring and joined in.

Seeing Lu Guan's appearance, and hearing the voice of the White Bone Temple echoing in his mind, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This boy is terrifying! He must not be allowed to live!"

On the contrary, Wang Meng frowned thoughtfully, as if he had remembered something.

Then, a gentle female voice came from behind the group.

"He seems to be advancing to Sequence Seven."

Everyone turned around to look, and saw that Fang Hong and Hui had also arrived at some point.

Team Leader Hui looked at Lu Guan, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the car, and felt quite gratified. "I wonder what kind of promotion Lu Guan will get."

Is there really such a big commotion in the promotion sequence?

An Xi and Zhu Qing frowned, thinking to themselves.

They had advanced in rank before, but all of it was done quietly; there had never been a commotion like Lu Guan's.

wrong!

An Xi looked at Chu Sheng. If she remembered correctly, Chu Sheng's advancement was actually quite significant, but at the time they thought it was an anomaly caused by the fusion with the Spirit of Life.

"You're wondering why there are no unusual phenomena when Sequence Nine advances to Sequence Eight, but there are unusual phenomena when Sequence Eight advances to Sequence Seven, right?"

Fang Hong seemed to have guessed what they were thinking and explained, "We had the same question when Qingqing was promoted to Sequence Seven."

"At the time, in order to resolve this doubt, I prayed to fate and received a message."

"What news?" Chu Sheng's heart stirred, but he asked calmly.

Fang Hong didn't hide anything and answered directly, "Fate told me that the so-called sequence is essentially moving closer to the rules."

"And the so-called sequence hierarchy is nothing more than a product that emerged to distinguish the progress of a sequence."

"If you think of sequences as rules, everything becomes clear."

"Sequence Nine is when you first learn the rule and can only use it superficially, while Sequence Eight is when you can use it more deeply."

"Although these two are separated by a sequence level, they are actually a gradual process of mastering the basics, but in essence, they are still just the surface."

“But starting with Sequence 7, we moved beyond simply using sequences to incorporating parts of the sequences themselves.”

"Sequence eight and sequence nine are applications of sequences, while sequence seven is the beginning of a sequence."

"That's why Qingqing can transform into a blue dragon."

"Because she has begun to become the sequence itself, and the sequence has begun to merge with her."

Upon hearing her words, Chu Sheng nodded in understanding. "Is that so?"

"However, I still have a question. I am currently at Sequence Seven, but I feel that Sequence Seven, Sequence Eight, and Sequence Nine are at a major level."

“I always had a feeling that the improvement of Sequence Six would far exceed that of Sequence Seven, Sequence Eight, and Sequence Nine.”

Fang Hong smiled upon hearing this, then looked at Lu Guan, who was still reciting the White Bone Contemplation on the roof of the car, and explained, "Qingqing also has this feeling."

"Fate's feedback to me is that each stage of the sequence is different, and there will be a relatively large improvement every three sequence levels."

"However, I don't know the specifics. The feedback from fate is not very detailed, after all, I am only a Sequence Eight."

Chu Sheng had thought Fang Hong could answer his questions, but it turned out she didn't know either.

However, at least I learned from her that every three sequence levels is a major advancement.

It's better than nothing, I suppose.

Lu Guan's chanting of the White Bone Cult resonated throughout the surroundings, while Chu Sheng and the others watched him, Wang Meng, and Zhu Qing.

The two of them sparred again in front of everyone.

Seeing the crimson light appearing on Wang Meng's body, An Xi recalled that the survivors in Fang Hong's convoy had also experienced a similar red light, and couldn't help but ask.

What is that red light?

Upon hearing this, Fang Hong answered every question by explaining, "The power of Qi and blood."

"As a martial artist, Wang Meng uses the power of his internal qi and blood."

"This ability can be taught to ordinary survivors. Although their progress is relatively slow after learning it, it is still a way to become stronger."

"Moreover, once they learn this method of manipulating qi and blood, they can also break through the defenses of the strange."

"You have this ability?" An Xi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"The world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders, isn't there?" Fang Hong smiled and shook her head.

While the two were talking, Chu Sheng pulled Hui aside and whispered, "What's going on with them?"

"Something's not right!"

Chu Sheng felt something was very wrong because Fang Hong was so open and honest with them, hiding nothing from them. If the apocalypse had just begun, he wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with having someone like Fang Hong.

But now it's been almost a year since the apocalypse!

People like Fang Hong are unlikely to live to this point. There might be people like that, but Chu Sheng doesn't believe he will encounter one.

Hearing Chu Sheng's question, Hui looked at him in surprise, "I thought you guys couldn't figure it out."

"But don't worry."

"This is a deal I made with them."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and sneakily leaned close to Chu Sheng's ear, whispering, "Don't let Fang Hong's appearance fool you, she's actually very troublesome."

"Our logs and diaries are complete when combined, and so are theirs. We just exchanged our logs and found that we recorded them in the same way."

"And then?" Chu Sheng was not surprised by this. What they could think of, other people and other teams could naturally think of as well.

"And then?" Hui sighed, then said in a low voice, "Then I made a deal with her."

“We exchanged all the diaries and logs, but because our team had experienced more things and recorded a lot of information, including the coordinates of the walled building and the approximate direction of the mechanical city.”

"They were trapped in this extreme rainstorm for more than four months, and there was an information asymmetry, so my deal with her also included that if anyone asked a question, as long as she knew the answer, she couldn't hide anything from us."

Hearing his words, Chu Sheng understood, "Are you sure she'll tell the truth?"

"I swore an oath."

Hui's words dispelled Chu Sheng's doubts, and he nodded, "I understand."

At that moment, Lu Guan, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the car, emitted a bone-white light. The large skull he held between his legs and in his hands began to dissolve.

The dissolved skull followed Lu Guan's skeleton, covering the surface of his bones.

Once the coverage was complete, the bone-white light emitted by Lu Guan also disappeared.

The ghostly blue flames in his eyes brightened again, becoming much brighter than ever before.

Standing up on the roof of the car, Lu Guan emitted a wave of spiritual energy.

"Hey! Great! I did it!"

His voice was frantic yet filled with ecstasy.

“Our team has two Sequence 7s now.” Hui and Chu Sheng walked back to where everyone was. Looking at Lu Guan standing on the roof of the car, Hui sighed, “I guess An Xi and Zhu Qing will be here soon too.”

"I'm about the same age as Old Man Li."

Hui had anticipated that Lu Guan would advance to Sequence Seven earlier than them.

Although he and Old Man Li awakened at the very beginning of the apocalypse, their advancement in the sequence relied on their mental strength.

Although the sequence itself improves, the improvement is not significant.

On the contrary, although Lu Guan's awakening time was not as long as theirs, he used his abilities for a longer time.

Moreover, living in extreme heat for three months can also enhance one's mental strength through loneliness.

Although those three months turned Lu Guan into a mental patient, in this apocalypse, who isn't mentally ill?

"Congratulations." An Xi and Old Man Li and the others looked at Lu Guan and offered a few words of congratulations.

"Congratulations to you!" Lu Guan clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then transformed into a thin young man in front of everyone.

Hui and the others looked at him in surprise, "Your price is gone?!"

They asked questions, while Chu Sheng watched Lu Guan from the side without asking the question himself.

In his eyes, Lu Guan was still just a skeleton, but there was an illusory projection on the surface of the skeleton.

Looking at Lu Guan, Chu Sheng frowned and asked, "Is this an illusion?"

"Huh?" Lu Guan looked at Chu Sheng in surprise. "Brother Chu, you could tell?"

"Your skeletal frame is just a mass of spiritual energy on the surface; who wouldn't see that?" Zhu Qing had long since stopped sparring with Wang Meng, and his pure black eyes also turned to Lu Guan.

Upon hearing Zhu Qing's words, Lu Guan remained silent for a moment. Then, the gaunt young man who had appeared before everyone disappeared, replaced by the skeletal frame from before.

"Do you think I can go back to the way things were before?"

He sat on the roof of the car, looking rather dejected.

"Sure." Fang Hong looked at him with a helpless expression, but she had no choice but to speak.

Upon hearing her words, Lu Guan's eyes blazed with fury. "Really?!"

"Once you completely transcend your own hierarchy, you can make your costs disappear."

Lu Guan: "."

"Forget it, I'd better stop dreaming."

He sighed, "Forget it, I'll give up on hoping to regain my physical body. I'll just keep moving towards my goal."

"Let's build a cemetery, bury all the people we've met and the things we've encountered there, and become gravediggers."

P.S.: I overslept and am currently working on this. There will be more updates later.
