Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 245 Rest and Recuperation! Kindness!
Hearing Zhu Qing's words, Xingzi blinked and said, "I know."

"But if you take one cold medicine for two pounds of food, then with a 50% discount, it's one cold medicine for one pound of food."

"This price may be a bit difficult for them right now, but they can make up for it later."

"After all, there are only a few dozen survivors left."

“I saw all of this from inside the car.”

Previously, when Chu Sheng and the others were dealing with the strange creatures, she had been sitting in the driver's seat and had seen the situation of the survivors, so she naturally knew that the survivors' food and other belongings had been washed away.

Hearing her words, Zhu Qing scratched her head, "You gave them cold medicine, what if they die halfway through?"

"After all, the fact that something strange has come knocking on our door means we can afford to lose some people before we can resupply."

"If they die, won't we be unable to repay Old Man Li's food?"

"Wouldn't Old Man Li be furious?"

Zhu Qing's words successfully attracted the attention of Chu Sheng, Fang Hong, and Qingqing.

Qingqing touched her chin, tilted her head, and nodded as if suddenly realizing something. "Oh right! What if they die?"

Fang Hong patted her head and said helplessly, "Qingqing, you need to learn to think for yourself."

"It's only about 60 or 70 pounds of food. If it's gone, it's gone. Just give it to someone else, and they won't complain."

At this point, she turned Qingqing's head to look at her and coaxed her, "Qingqing, I have a question for you."

"Okay!" Qingqing nodded and looked at Fang Hong seriously, as if to say that she was ready.

"If every survivor owes another person a pound of food, and you, Qingqing, are the guarantor, what would you do if they couldn't pay it back?"

Hearing her words, Qingqing frowned, scratched her head and thought for a long time before asking uncertainly, "Sister Hong, aren't the fish in the water food too?"

"Yes." Fang Hong nodded.

A smile appeared on Qingqing's face, then she put her hands on her hips and said triumphantly, "Then I'll go catch fish in the water!"

As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, "A fish weighs several pounds, so I only need to find twenty or thirty fish."

At this point, she exclaimed in surprise, blinked her eyes, and looked at Fang Hong, "Wow, that's so simple."

"Yes, it's just a few dozen kilograms of food, which is actually very simple for us."

At this moment, Chu Sheng looked at Zhu Qing and said, "Haven't you emptied the water out of your brain yet?"

Zhu Qing felt ashamed. He could only think about how the survivors would be angry if they couldn't repay Old Man Li and couldn't find anyone.

I never expected Xingzi to be able to repay the debt.

Xingzi overheard Fang Hong and Qingqing's conversation and nodded in agreement.

"I just feel a little sorry for them. It's just a matter of a few dozen kilograms of food. For me, it's just a loss of mental strength, but for them, it's a life."

“If they really can’t pay it back, or if they die in the middle, I’ll pay it back for them without any problem.”

"Giving Grandpa Li a piece of extraordinary material or a healing leaf will suffice."

Chu Sheng nodded. As someone who had used the Healing Leaf, he could clearly state that no one could refuse it, just like how no one could refuse to awaken a transcendent sequence even though they knew there would be a price to pay.

Not to mention that healing leaves have absolutely no side effects, directly restoring mental strength and injuries without any cost.

Chu Sheng had no intention of stopping Xingzi's kindness, since it didn't really concern him anyway.

He would never casually extinguish the kindness of those around him.

As the saying goes, no one wants the person next to them to be a villain.

Given a choice between a kind person and a vicious person, regardless of who you are, you would choose to accompany the kind person, unless there are some special circumstances.

This is why he initially tried to present himself as harmless and shy.

Although no one believed he was a harmless, shy young man.

But this did not prevent him from behaving this way. After realizing his problem, he made a decision to change his image in the eyes of others.

While it's true that people don't live in the eyes of others, how others perceive you can determine whether you live a better or worse life.

From a certain perspective, people do live in the eyes of others.

During their conversation, a small hill appeared in the projection of the Netherworld Ship.

Perhaps because the water here is much deeper than before, the exposed area of ​​this hilltop is only about two hundred square meters.

Moreover, there are some puddles and puddles on it.

Just then, a mechanical voice came from the cockpit: "According to calculations, the mountain ahead is suitable for all members of the convoy to get out and rest."

"Should we stay here?"

"Let's do it here." Chu Sheng nodded.

The Netherworld Ship then transformed into the Netherworld Mech and began preparations to land.

After the convoy stopped on the hilltop, everyone in the convoy got out of their vehicles.

Without Chu Sheng and the others saying anything, Ah Xin used her ability the moment she got out of the car.

A semi-transparent barrier began to spread from the center of the mountain. Wherever the barrier spread, whether it was water in puddles or pools, it seemed to encounter some unknown force and was pushed away.

No mud or water spread with the barrier and got on anyone else. The barrier opened in an instant, and the mud and water were blocked from splashing out before they could reach anyone.

After enveloping the mountaintop in a barrier, Ah Xin seemed to feel that the area was still too small, so she directly manipulated the barrier to push out the flowing water as well.

The hilltop, which was originally about 200 square meters, has been transformed into a hilltop of more than 300 square meters, increasing the usable area by nearly one-third.

The barrier stopped at this moment.

Ah Xin's face was a little pale, but she gently exhaled.

"You have such an ability?" Chu Sheng walked to her side and looked at her with suspicion.

Ah Xin shook her head, her face still pale, and said weakly, "There has to be some progress."

"This is a new ability I've figured out; it excludes some things when I deploy a barrier."

"As long as my mental energy is not completely exhausted, these things will not be able to get in."

"However, this also increases the consumption significantly."

She didn't elaborate on how much bigger it had become, and Chu Sheng didn't press her for details.

Xingzi watched her from the side with a smile on her face, "Xin, you go back to the car and rest. I'll go and distribute the cold medicine to the survivors first, and then I'll go and get some food."

"I'll call you then."

Upon hearing this, Ah Xin nodded, then looked around and asked with some confusion, "Where's Xi Xi?"

When An Xi collapsed in Chu Sheng's arms earlier, the Eternal Flame had entered the strange body, and the rain started falling again, so she didn't see An Xi's condition.

When she heard her ask about An Xi, Xingzi pouted and said, "She's sleeping in the car."

"Her mental energy is greatly depleted; she'll probably need to sleep for a day or two," Chu Sheng explained from the side.

"Oh." Ah Xin said "oh" after hearing what the two had said, and then turned around and went back to the black-hearted fish truck.

She wasn't worried about Anxi's safety.

Although she didn't know what had happened, she had seen An Xi's attack earlier.

Such an attack would indeed consume too much mental energy; with An Xi's level of mental strength, she probably did fall into a deep sleep.

As for whether Chu Sheng and his group would make a move against An Xi, she wasn't worried at all.

Anyone with a sound mind knows that although An Xi is only Sequence 8, her combat power is in a class of its own within the entire team.

The team leader was also in the car.

In her observation, neither the captain, Chu Sheng, nor Xingzi were mentally unstable.

Although Xingzi is a bit love-struck, she can still distinguish between what's important and what's urgent. It's just that she loses her mind when she's with Chusheng.

As for whether there are any mentally challenged individuals in the team.
Ah Xin glanced at Zhu Qing, who was squatting alone in the corner, using a knife to perform craniotomy on himself, pouring water and brain matter out.

Yes, there is indeed one person who's lost their mind.

Ah Xin used to think that "brain full of water" was an insult, but now she knows that "brain full of water" is a fact.

If there's no need to worry about Anxi's safety, then there's no need to worry about anything else.

After all, An Xi was in Chu Sheng's car, and Chu Sheng had already taken advantage of her.

As long as there's no danger to her life, she doesn't bother to care.

She never forgot the time when An Xi secretly asked her if she had used connections, and everyone's buttocks felt swollen.

She had never imagined before that An Xi would be so adventurous.

As Ah Xin returned to the black-hearted fish car, Cheng Xue also came over and asked Chu Sheng somewhat nervously.

"Brother Chu, the captain..."

Chu Sheng glanced at her, but didn't intend to make things difficult for her. "He overused his mental energy and fell into a deep sleep. It will probably take him a while to wake up."

"If you want to ask about the next arrangements and departure time, go ask Fang Hong. She's the guide when the team leader isn't around."

"Oh, oh." Cheng Xue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly, and turned to go find Fang Hong.

However, just as she turned to leave, Chu Sheng called her back.

"By the way, if you're going to cook, could you cook for us too?"

"I'll give you the ingredients later."

"Okay." Cheng Xue turned around and nodded repeatedly as she listened to Chu Sheng's words.

She had no choice.

Since Chu Sheng had already spoken, she certainly couldn't refuse.

Seeing Cheng Xue like this, Chu Sheng nodded, "While you're at it, ask Old Man Li and Fang Hong if they want to come along."

"Okay." Cheng Xue nodded, and then left after seeing that Chu Sheng had no other requests.

Chu Sheng returned to the Netherworld Light and looked at the extraordinary materials on the bedroom floor, the sleeping Hui team leader, and An Xi who looked like she was dead on the bed. His gaze was fixed on the extraordinary materials.

Outside the barrier, a strange creature crawling on the water's surface, attracted by the lingering life force of the convoy, gave chase.
