Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 251 Chu Sheng: They are not as honest and reliable as me; they are all full of bad intentions!

noon.

The sky remained dark and gloomy, and the torrential rain continued to fall outside the barrier. The convoy members were preparing lunch.

The rice and noodles that Wu Meng and the others soaked in water were clearly not enough to finish in one meal, even if dozens of people ate together.

Although all the survivors fell into the water, thanks to the cold medicine that Kyoko gave them, none of them developed any cold symptoms.

Wu Meng looked at the two remaining bags of rice and some noodles that were sealed well in the car and hadn't gotten wet, her face showing some worry.

"We used to have enough food to last for half a year or even more than a year, but now we probably can only eat it for about two months."

"This is even with careful rationing."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Dun and said, "If there are any places where supplies need to be replenished later, we'll have to go there too."

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

"However, our team has two sacrificial items. Although they have both dropped to the rank of over 10,000, at least they can cause some damage to the eerie creatures, so our safety can still be guaranteed."

Hearing his words, Wu Jie, who was practicing swinging a long sword nearby, nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"

"With Brother Zhou and me here, Sister, you can rest assured!" he said, patting his chest forcefully.

"As for the weird stuff, Brother Zhou and I can kill it! We can then trade the extraordinary materials that fall with Brother Chu or Uncle Li."

Seeing this, Wu Meng frowned and slapped him on the head. "Don't be a show-off!"

"Who asked you to deal with the monsters!"

"Just stay alive, don't think that having offerings will be enough to deal with the supernatural. Compared to extraordinary materials, your survival is the best thing!"

"If you encounter anything strange in the future, run if you can. If you can't escape, then fight back! Got it?"

"Oh." Wu Jie was suppressed by Wu Meng's bloodline and couldn't lift his head.

"But don't worry too much. Every time we resupply, Anxi will actively attract the strange creatures. If we are careful, we won't have any major problems."

"I wonder what they'll do." She looked at the group of survivors a dozen meters away from them, pondering what would happen next.

Unlike Chu Sheng and his group, Wu Meng and her companions, as survivors, naturally stayed with the other survivors. Although they formed small groups, they remained part of the overall survivor community.

Now, apart from them, the other survivors have run out of food, and Wu Meng became wary.

Thinking it over, she moved closer to her younger brother and Zhou Dun, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jie, Zhou Dun, you two should pay more attention to other people."

"No one else has food right now, except me. Although I've given most of it away, nobody knows what will happen next. If anyone gets close and tries to steal anything, just kill them."

Hearing her words, Zhou Dun nodded without speaking, while Wu Jie waved his long sword and said, "I understand!"

Although they possessed two sacrificial objects, they weren't the only ones with weapons in the convoy. While the sacrificial objects were powerful, their strength lay only in their special abilities; they were still essentially weapons.

If it doesn't attack anyone else, then it's not much different from a weapon that isn't a sacrifice.

They've just eaten and drunk their fill, so others might not covet their food. But as time goes on, if one day the girl named Qingqing, who just joined the team, stops providing fish and shrimp to the survivors, their food will be in danger.

Even though the team rules forbid killing without cause, after struggling in the apocalypse for so long, everyone knows that a starving person is no longer human.

They are wolves, beasts, immoral and inhuman wild animals.

While Wu Meng and her group were on guard against other convoys, Chu Sheng and his group gathered in the center of the barrier.

In front of Hui's team was a bright blue light screen, displaying images of Li Feifei and her team's convoy.

"That's great, you're alright. You didn't answer when I tried to contact you yesterday, I almost thought something had happened to you." Li Feifei on the other end of the screen smiled happily.

Hui felt the same way, but with a touch of regret: "I overused my abilities yesterday."

“You encountered something strange when you called Chu Sheng yesterday, so I apologize.”

"It's alright, it's alright." Li Feifei waved her hand. "It's best not to get distracted when fighting the supernatural. I understand."

The two exchanged pleasantries, with Chu Sheng standing beside Hui, but his figure was not visible in the light screen.

After chatting about trivial matters for a few minutes, Li Feifei spoke with a serious expression: "Captain Zhang, is there anything unusual about the strange things you encountered?"

"Wrong?" Although Hui knew what she was talking about, he still looked puzzled.

Chu Sheng stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking as if he had known this all along.

"What's wrong with weird things?" Zhu Qing leaned over to look at the other side of the light screen, his eyes full of confusion. "Isn't it just some weird thing that drops extraordinary materials after you kill it?"

Zhu Qing's words startled Li Feifei, but the slight pause was fleeting, and her face remained serious.

However, Hui and Chu Sheng, who were watching closely, still caught that fleeting expression.

The two stared at each other silently. Chu Sheng raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "I knew they were up to no good, unlike me, who's honest and straightforward."

Hui smiled. But at that moment, Li Feifei on the other side seemed to have made a major decision and said, "We killed a few monsters, but something happened."

"What's the matter?" Captain Hui asked.

"Hmm, it's really strange. After killing those strange creatures, no extraordinary materials dropped."

"I thought it was like this all the time, but I didn't expect that you guys didn't encounter such a thing."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qing and Ah Xin, who were standing nearby, were stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Only Chu Sheng and Hui Dui were somewhat surprised.

Obviously, I didn't expect her to bring this up on her own initiative.

The two exchanged a glance, communicating through their eyes.

Chu Sheng, what do you think?

I stood and watched.

Should we continue to rip them off?
Noticing Hui's gaze, Chu Sheng coughed lightly and squeezed to the top, whereupon his image appeared on the screen.

"You guys actually encountered something like this?!"

"However, we didn't encounter it. If we meet other teams later, we can ask them if they have experienced the same situation."

"With our abilities, there's nothing we can change right now."

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, Li Feifei on the other end nodded and sighed, "That's all we can do."

"By the way, where are you now? It feels like nighttime."

She asked the question casually, as if it were just a matter of curiosity.

Chu Sheng smiled inwardly and said, "Under the cover of a torrential downpour."

"This place is experiencing torrential rain, and the water level has risen quite high. If you encounter a place where it keeps raining and the water level keeps getting higher and higher, please be careful, as the water level may continue to rise."

"Only by finding a ship can we pass through this place."

"There are places like this?" Li Feifei asked in surprise.

Chu Sheng didn't explain further; continuing would have been a bit inappropriate.

Afterwards, the group shared their experiences of the strange occurrences and the circumstances before hanging up.

After the communication ended, Captain Hui looked at Chu Sheng and said, "Didn't you say you were going to take care of them?"

"How did you tell them the truth?"

"Considering they took the initiative to say that the strange place didn't drop any extraordinary materials, let's remind them."

"Besides, killing them won't do us any good. After we get through this place, we can find a place to wait for them. Don't you think they meet our requirements?"

Chu Sheng smiled.

Hearing his words, Hui laughed, "What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too."

"What meets the requirements?" Kyoko asked curiously from the side. "What's wrong with them?"

“They’re following us,” Chu Sheng explained. “But keeping them around is useful, so we’re reminding them of our location.”

"If they're dead, that's a good thing. If they're alive, then after we leave this place, we'll find a place to wait for them and experiment on something."

I'll tell you the specifics in a few days.

Hearing his words, Xingzi nodded without asking any further questions, while Ah Xin and the others swallowed back the words they wanted to say.

However, Zhu Qing asked another question, looking at Chu Sheng and Hui with some suspicion, and said, "You two seem to have known all along that the Strange Things wouldn't drop extraordinary materials?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng exchanged a glance with Hui Dui and smiled, "Actually, we didn't know that much in advance."

“I have a sacrificial offering called the Book of Time, which records the major events that occurred after the end of the world.”

"It just so happens that the fact that Li Feifei's team didn't drop any extraordinary materials was recorded on the record. That's why I asked the captain to come to my car this morning."

At this point, Chu Sheng looked at Team Leader Hui again and asked, "Can you begin now?"

"No rush." ​​Hui shook his head, looked at Fang Hong beside him, and said, "Sister Hong, your sequence is a bit more useful than mine. Can you ask the Strange One why there are no extraordinary materials dropping?"

"If the supernatural creatures really stop dropping extraordinary materials in the future, it will be a big blow to us."

Fang Hong nodded upon hearing this, "It should be possible, I'll give it a try."

As she spoke, she made a prayer gesture with her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes and murmured something, but no one could hear what she was saying.
