Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 252 Family, Nation, and World! The Taoist Ranks!
A moment later, Fang Hong opened her eyes, a look of joy in them.

Her face wasn't pale, so she didn't seem to have suffered much.

Seeing her like this, Captain Hui knew this round was won, and couldn't help but sigh, "You're really capable."

"Although I can also calculate the secrets of heaven, it consumes too much energy. I can also figure out why extraordinary materials don't drop, but it's definitely not as simple as what you do."

Upon hearing this, Fang Hong smiled and said, "It's just that our abilities are in different directions."

"Although they look similar, they are fundamentally very different."

"My ability is to directly inquire about fate. What fate knows, I can know; what fate doesn't tell me, I will never know."

“But you are different. Although the cost is greater than mine, you can directly calculate the result and the process.”

"Unlike me, I am confined to fate."

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng looked at Team Leader Hui and then at Fang Hong, and said thoughtfully, "In other words, if either of you wants to access information from the backend, you can only access information that is open in the database. If the database is locked, you can't access it. You also don't have access to other information in the database."

"It's like being an administrator; the cost is relatively low, but there are some limitations."

As he spoke, he looked at Captain Hui and continued, "And you are like a hacker. No matter which database it is, whether it is locked or not, you can force your way in."

"It's like ignoring the risks and continuing the installation."

"But you don't have the necessary permissions, so the cost is higher than that of an administrator."

"That makes sense, doesn't it?"

He looked at Fang Hong and Hui Dui.

Hearing his words, Captain Hui nodded, and Fang Hong chimed in, "That's about right."

"Those who benefit from fate will inevitably be trapped by it."

Hui, standing to the side, waved his hand, clearly not wanting to continue the topic. Instead, he looked at Fang Hong and asked, "What's going on with those strange things? Judging from your expression, it seems like good news?"

"Hmm," Fang Hong hesitated for a moment after hearing this, "I don't know how to say it either."

"It's not exactly good news, but it's much better than we had imagined."

"The strange things that don't drop extraordinary materials are all the strange things that have been killed once."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Qing asked, puzzled.

"The meaning is simple: the black energy that the monsters we have killed will attract each other in the world and then gather together to form another monster."

"The resurrected monsters are weaker than the monsters that have been killed. However, if the black energy that has escaped from these dead monsters gathers together, and the black energy of multiple monsters merges into one monster, the strength of this monster will increase significantly."

"It's possible that two or three Sequence 8 monsters could be upgraded to Sequence 7."

"Moreover, these resurrected monsters dropped extraordinary materials before they died, so they don't drop any extraordinary materials themselves."

"No matter how strong it is, it doesn't have extraordinary materials."

"What I find strange is that these strange creatures seem to have only acquired this ability in the last few days."

"So I asked a few more questions." At this point, her expression turned serious as she looked at Captain Hui and said, "What you told us before, that the apocalypse hasn't really arrived yet, seems to be true."

"According to the information from the Destiny, these strange destinies all changed three days ago."

"At the same time, the fate of those with sequence abilities also changed in ways I do not have the authority to inquire about."

“There was a mysterious restriction in the world before, but three days ago, this restriction loosened. According to the observation of fate, this restriction will completely disappear in twenty-two days.”

"That was about a year before the apocalypse began."

After listening to Fang Hong's words, Chu Sheng took a deep breath, looked at Team Leader Hui, and said, "Leave after you've finished calculating."

"At top speed, with food and drink inside the car, Ah Xin used her abilities to completely cover the vehicle."

"Hmm." Hui's expression also turned serious.

“Your previous decision was correct. We need to leave this place as soon as possible. We are safer on flat ground than on water.”

"Just wait for me."

As he spoke, he took out his tortoise shell and began to shake it.

Chu Sheng and the others looked at him.

Under everyone's gaze, with each shake of the tortoise shell in his hand, his face, with his eyes closed, paled a few shades paler.

As he continued to shake the tortoise shell, he also began to perform calculations.

A moment later, he stopped moving, his face deathly pale, and he could barely sit up. He had to put his other hand on the table to keep from falling.

At the same time, he opened his eyes, emitting a bright white light as he looked at Chu Sheng and Zhu Qing and the others beside him.

Two seconds later, the fluorescence in his eyes dissipated, and his hair began to turn gray.

The changes stopped only after half of the hair turned white.

But as if he hadn't noticed anything, he weakly exhaled, looked at Chu Sheng, and nodded to him.

Don't forget what you promised me.

After saying this, he seemed to lose his breath, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted.

He looked exactly like An Xi did last night, clearly suffering from an unusually depleted mental energy.

Chu Sheng had a sudden thought, and the butcher appeared beside him.

With a flick of its tentacles, it swept up the team and carried them toward the Netherworld Light.

Only then did Old Man Li speak up, "What are you two doing?"

"What is it that requires him to expend so much mental energy to calculate?"

"His hair has all turned white." Old Li said, a glint in his eyes. He sensed that Chu Sheng and Captain Hui were plotting something extraordinary.

Hearing his words, Chu Sheng shook his head. "I can't tell you. If you want to know, go and exchange something with the captain."

"As you can see, he paid a high price to calculate this."

"Half of his hair has turned white."

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, Old Man Li, who was about to speak, immediately stopped.

Indeed, whatever Chu Sheng and Hui Dui were planning, given the heavy price they had paid, it was impossible for them to tell him directly.

"Alright, I'll ask him again after he wakes up." He then looked at Chu Sheng again and tentatively asked, "But, can you at least tell me whether what he calculated is good or bad?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng recalled Hui nodding to him before he fell unconscious, and a smile appeared on his lips. "That's something I can say, but this is all the information I can give you. You won't lose out if you buy it."

He paused, as if he felt that this was not enough, and added, "It's worth it no matter how much compensation you give them."

Old Li narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. Zhu Qing and Lu Guan exchanged a glance but said nothing. Fang Hong, who was standing to the side, also seemed to be deep in thought. She glanced at Chu Sheng, her mind seemingly preoccupied with something.

Only Ah Xin showed indifference.

It wasn't that she wasn't interested in this; she was waiting for An Xi to wake up so she could see if she could get this information from Chu Sheng.

They had roughly figured out Chu Sheng's personality. Although he was a bit ruthless, he seemed to be true to what the Eternal Flame symbolized: not a bad person, and his words were as good as nails.

He's a bit malicious, but he doesn't seem to have much ulterior motives towards them.

After finishing his meal, Chu Sheng looked in the direction of the convoy survivors and said to Cheng Xue, who had been standing quietly to the side, "Tell them to get ready. We basically won't be stopping after this."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, there must be someone in every car. Find one or two people to go with you in the car you're driving. In short, all vehicles must be running 24 hours a day without interruption; no one can hold them back!"

“The captain won’t mind if someone gets on the bus; he’s with me.” As he spoke, he took the magic conch shell out of his pocket and handed it to her.

"This can communicate. We will communicate through the conch shell in any situation. I only have one request of you: don't lose the car."

"Okay." Cheng Xue nodded, took the magical conch shell, and carefully put it into her bosom.

After explaining things to Cheng Xue, Chu Sheng returned directly to the Netherworld Light.

Although the Nether Light can tow the entire convoy, the vehicles still contribute to the speed if they operate continuously.

After all, these vehicles are not as fast as the Netherlight, so there is no need to worry about them colliding with each other.

Even if this only increases the speed by ten kilometers per hour, it will allow the convoy to leave this place sooner.

time does not wait.

As Chu Sheng and his companions prepared to embark on their long journey, in the heart of the endless volcanic cluster in the Southern Wilderness...

The volcano, towering 10,000 meters high, is belching thick black smoke. Lava flows down from the summit and cools at the foot of the mountain, but the temperature remains extremely high.

A somewhat peculiar group was walking through the crevices of a volcanic field.

They had no vehicles, relying solely on their own two legs, and each wore shorts and a shirt.

Some people were even shirtless.

Zhuo Wu, the leader of the team, walked at the front, wearing only a jacket with the sleeves cut open from the armpits, and sweat dripping from his hair.

"You damned Heavenly Venerable!"

"The sun is shining brightly in the sky, there's a volcano right next to you, another volcano next to that, a volcano in front of you, and a volcano behind you, and they're all active volcanoes!"

As he spoke, Zhuo Wu wiped his sweat again and looked behind him.

"Everyone keep up, don't fall behind!"

"Also, pay close attention to your surroundings and see if anything strange is approaching!"

"Alright, boss!" a shirtless man with a dragon tattooed over his shoulder shouted from behind, "Everyone, be fucking careful, don't get fucking carried away by some weirdo!"

"understood!"

"Don't worry, Second Brother!"

Hearing the weak voice coming from behind, Zhuo Wu wiped his sweat again, looked around for a moment, and then looked at a henchman carrying a backpack behind him.

"Alright, everyone's exhausted, let's rest here!"

"Sanshi, bring me my materials!"

"Alright!" The guy with the shoulder-length hair and buzz cut immediately responded, then complained, "Boss, my name is Zeng Lei, not San Shi."

"That's enough, stop talking nonsense!"

Zhuo Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief as Zeng Lei took some yellow paper and a calligraphy brush out of someone else's backpack and handed them to him.

He then looked at Zeng Lei and complained, "San Shi, we went to a vocational school and we're all working adults, and yet we've awakened this sequence. Isn't this just making things difficult for me?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Lei also sighed, "Boss, it's better to be awakened than not to be."

"You're the only one among us who has awakened; you're truly the chosen one!"

"Actually, I think so too." Zhuo Wu glanced at the group of more than seventy people behind him, including the old and the young, the old with gray hair and the young still being breastfed.

Upon seeing these people, Zhuo Wu's expression immediately became proud, and he said to Zeng Lei beside him, "Although we were scoundrels before, this is our country and the world!"

"From now on, anyone who runs into us will have to give us a thumbs up and say that Zhuo Wu is awesome!"

As he spoke, he picked up a calligraphy brush that Zeng Lei had handed him, licked it on his tongue, and seemed to be still thinking about the previous question, muttering to himself, "I don't have much education, so why did I awaken this kind of sequence?"

"It's absurd to determine strength based on my understanding of Taoist culture!"

"Don't you know I've never been to school?"
