Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 253 The Great Sage Equal to Heaven! The God of Slaughter from Heaven!
The brush in Zhuo Wu's hand, smeared with saliva, emitted a faint glow, and he quickly drew a talisman.

Hearing that he could rest, a handsome but dark-skinned male college student who had gathered around heard Zhuo Wu's complaints and couldn't help but say, "Brother, with your rank, even if you've studied, it's useless."

"We all study math, physics, chemistry, history, biology, and the like. After university, there are various other majors. Unless you specialize in Taoist culture, they are all pretty much the same."

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Wu stopped what he was doing, picked up the talisman he had drawn, threw it into the air, and muttered something under his breath.

The next second, an invisible wave swept outwards.

Anyone touched by this wave felt a wave of comfort wash over them, as if the sweltering heat and high temperatures had vanished.

At this moment, Zhuo Wu looked at the person who had spoken earlier and said, "What you said makes sense, but isn't your brother Zhuo awesome!"

Upon hearing this, the male college student gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Brother Zhuo is awesome!"

As he spoke, the survivors who had gathered around him, each holding a container in one hand, gave him a thumbs-up with the other and shouted, "Brother Zhuo is awesome!"

"Hahahaha!" Zhuo Wu put his hands on his hips, looking at the crowd whose fatigue and heat had been washed away by his talisman, "I'm the best!"

As he spoke, he licked the tip of the brush on his tongue and began to cast the next talisman.

A moment later, three talismans floated in front of Zhuo Wu.

He formed a sword-like gesture with his index and middle fingers, holding the first talisman on the left between them. The crowd around him shouted, "Everyone's ready! The water's here!"

"Water Gathering Talisman!"

As his mental energy was activated, the water-gathering talisman between his two fingers vanished instantly.

Upon seeing this, the crowd dispersed, forming a circle and revealing an open space in the middle.

One meter above the open space, a horizontal, illusory vortex was spinning continuously.

As the vortex rotated, a gentle breeze stirred around, and water vapor in the wind continuously gathered.

In a short while, a pool of clear, transparent water formed in the center of the whirlpool.

Seeing this, the onlookers swallowed hard, watching Zeng Lei take two large water bottles and go forward to fill them with water.

After he finished getting the water, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, ignoring the scorching heat of the ground, and took out a crumpled A4 sheet of paper from his pocket, reading out the name from the top.

"Wang Qiang!"

As he called out the name, a man who had been waiting in advance stepped forward with a four-yuan bottle of iced tea.

"It's the same as before! One person, one time. You can bring whatever you want, but you're not allowed to waste water. Take the water you collect with you! Except for the elderly and children!"

"The order is fixed, and I won't read it anymore. Don't even think about cheating, or don't blame me for taking action."

Zeng Lei was in charge of the water-fetching ceremony, while Zhuo Wu glanced at them and then pinched the second talisman between two fingers.

His actions naturally attracted the attention of most of the survivors.

Within this team, there is only one extraordinary sequence, namely Zhuo Wu, a Taoist sequence.

Although Zhuo Wu was a hoodlum before, he was quite loyal and righteous. The survivors in the group knew his character and usually spoke well of him.

Even because of his personality, he is considered quite cute by some of the older members of the team.

Because he and Zeng Lei were both scoundrels before, the team didn't have any major rules. As long as they behaved themselves, he would protect them.

If anyone misbehaves, Zhuo Wu, who is also somewhat skilled in martial arts, doesn't discriminate based on gender or age. Anyone who dares to misbehave will be beaten.

Therefore, under these rules, although people were fetching water, no one dared to cause trouble and they lined up obediently.

Because he knew roughly when he would get water, most of the people behind him in line kept an eye on him.

Normally there are three talismans, but today there are four in addition to the water-gathering talisman used earlier, so they all looked at Zhuo Wu with curiosity.

Zhuo Wu didn't hide anything. As his spiritual power was activated, a wave full of divinity emanated from the talisman. He uttered a chant that only he could hear, which was not a spell.

"Monkey King, Monkey King, please show your power!"

As he chanted, a figure emerged from the talisman, clad in golden chainmail, wearing a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, holding a Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), and covered in golden hair.

The talisman began to dim at this moment.

As the Monkey King took his steps, his figure grew from small to large, then manifested from nothingness, gradually solidified, and finally became a physical entity.

"Sun Wukong!"

Holy crap! The Monkey King!

"Holy crap, I saw Monkey King!!!"

"Monkey King is here! We're completely safe!"

"Brother Zhuo is awesome!"

The survivors stared wide-eyed at Zhuo Wu in disbelief when they saw the Monkey King.

As the Great Sage Equaling Heaven solidified, Zhuo Wu's eyes revealed excitement, but he was soon disappointed.

"It's just a shell, a shell that's been trained to be real. It can only follow orders and isn't the real Monkey King."

"Moreover, my strength is only linked to my sequence, and even the length of my existence is limited by my mental power."

Zhuo Wu looked at the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, whose body had solidified and was no longer moving, and murmured, feeling an overwhelming sense of disappointment.

He even thought he could summon the real Monkey King to the mortal realm.

"The guardian talisman is still too weak. Next time, let's just summon a god directly." Zhuo Wu muttered, then looked at the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and said, "Great Sage, please protect us."

Although it was a mindless shell, Zhuo Wu still held it in high esteem.

Because of the sequence, he had to learn about Taoist culture and various myths, and the more he learned, the more awe he felt for these deities.

Before the apocalypse, the saying "There are gods watching over us" might have been just a joke, but after the apocalypse, no one knows if it's true or not.

After all, the apocalypse has come, and we already have the Sequence and the Extraordinary.

Whether mythology exists or not is hard to say.

If it doesn't exist, then what is his Taoist sequence?
If such a thing exists, then it is only natural for him to revere the divine.

But regardless of whether it exists or not, it is never wrong to maintain a sense of awe.

After all, you can't hit someone who's smiling.

As for calling him "Monkey King" before, he only said it verbally, but he still respected him in his heart.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to establish contact with the Monkey King first.

The guardian deity talisman is a talisman he drew based on the invocation of deities and talismanic incantations.

Establishing contact with the gods is very difficult. It took him so long to fully resolve the matter of inviting the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

The Monkey King did not answer Zhuo Wu's question. Instead, he sat down cross-legged, placed his Ruyi Jingu Bang on his lap, and closed his eyes.

But Zhuo Wu knew that if any strange things appeared nearby, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who was in meditation, would discover them immediately and then eliminate them.

He is a Sequence 8 ability user, and due to his limited strength, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is naturally also a Sequence 8. However, what exists within the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's body is not some simple power. Rather, it is something that even Zhuo Wu himself cannot explain or articulate. If the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is truly regarded as a Sequence 8 combatant, then one will be in deep trouble.

As the Monkey King entered meditation, Zeng Lei, who had been fetching water for the survivors, approached, his face beaming with joy and excitement, his voice noticeably louder: "Big Brother, this...this...this is Brother Monkey?!"

"You really managed to get him to come down!"

"Hmm." Zhuo Wu raised his head smugly. "Keep it low-key! With your brother Zhuo's charisma, you'll be a force to be reckoned with wherever you go!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

As he spoke, he held the remaining two talismans between his two fingers, and as his mental energy was activated, two completely different auras swept across the surroundings.

"Exorcism talisman!"

"A guiding talisman!"

After casting the two talismans, Zhuo Wu clapped his hands and said, "The dark energy in this place has been dispelled, and Brother Monkey is here to protect us. We can finally get a good night's sleep."

As he spoke, Zhuo Wu took out a palm-sized book from the pocket of his battle-damaged coat and casually found a place to sit down.

The book's cover also bears the four characters: "Taoist System".

He brought this book out of a Buddhist temple.

He didn't know why there was a Taoist book in the Buddhist hall.

Because of the sequence, he consciously collected some books about Taoism.

This is why, despite his lack of formal education and knowledge of Taoism, he was able to draw some talismans.

Nothing special, just self-taught.

"The Spring God is actually Jumang?! Isn't he the Ancestral Witch?!"

"The God of Summer is actually Zhu Rong?! He's also an Ancestral Witch, and isn't he the God of Fire?!"

"Let me see who the Autumn God and the Eastern God are." Zhuo Wu flipped through the book in his hand, his eyes full of confusion.

"The god of autumn is Rushou, and the god of winter is Xuanming."

"The God of Spring is also the God of Wood. It is associated with the sprouting of plants and the rising sun in the east. It is the god of growth of all things and the object of worship during the Spring Equinox in the agricultural era."

"Xia Shen is also the God of Fire, and the Crimson Emperor?!"

After a long while, Zhuo Wu finally looked up, his eyes filled with even greater confusion.

"It's chaotic, so chaotic."

"I don't understand, I don't understand at all."

He had been studying another book, a book that recorded hundreds of talisman drawing methods.

Previously, due to the strange threat, he dared not study anything else. After thinking it over, he realized that only talismans could improve his combat power, so he kept studying talismans, which is why he was able to draw talismans.

Of course, the key factor is his ability.

As a Taoist with the ability to summon deities, he had the ability to create talismans and invoke gods as soon as he awakened.

The mental energy and preparation required to invite the gods were too long, and he has only now successfully invited the first god, namely the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong.

In addition, one must continuously utilize their abilities to draw talismans.

When he first awakened, the power of those talismans was so great that it brought tears to the eyes of those who heard of them.

The water-gathering talisman drawn can only gather the amount of water needed for a disposable cup in places with sufficient moisture.

The first Spring Bathing Talisman used could only slightly alleviate a person's fatigue; using it was practically the same as not using it at all.

Now, his Spring Bathing Talisman can directly make the entire team feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze, sweeping away fatigue and some discomfort.

The Water Gathering Talisman can continuously gather moisture from the air in such hot, dry, and high-temperature environments.

This is all thanks to Zhuo Wu's hard work!

He dared not stop for a moment in order to protect these survivors!

Aside from sleeping, I spent my time drawing talismans, trying to understand the various strange and wonderful things contained within them.

He knew a great many gods, but he had no idea about the relationships between them or their various systems.

"I've never been this serious in school," Zhuo Wu said with a bitter expression. "If I were as serious about school as I am about this stuff, I'd be guaranteed a spot in a top university!"

Despite these thoughts, when Zhuo Wu looked at the survivors queuing to get water, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

This feeling was something he had never experienced before.

"Study hard, study until you drop!"

Zhuo Wu murmured, "I wonder what kind of sequence is the mythical sequence."

"Could someone really be a Great Sage in the sequence?"

"Even if it's not the Great Sage, but some other deity in the sequence, it's still beyond the limit!"

"What do you mean by exceeding the limit?! My White Tiger sequence is also very weak, okay?!"

An Xi walked through the bedroom of the Netherworld Ship, on all fours, with a tiger's head looking at Chu Sheng.

"Isn't it just like the legendary Qiongqi with wings?"

"What makes you think I'm not a white tiger?!"

A white tiger, over four meters long and two meters tall, with its tail reaching nearly seven meters, exuding a fierce aura, with its white-gold wings spread and a wingspan exceeding six meters, spoke in human language, its tone filled with dissatisfaction.

"You reached Sequence Seven after just one night's sleep, and by Sequence Eight you could contend with the bizarre beings of Sequence Seven. As a White Tiger, you even have wings like the ferocious beast Qiongqi. And you still say you're not over the limit?!"

Chu Sheng stared intently at An Xi, pinching her tiger head with both hands, as if trying to see where she got the nerve to say she wasn't over the limit.

"Besides your mechanic-obsessed ability, the Geng Metal Power, you're also a numerical monster!"

"If you don't exceed the standard, who will?!"

Looking at An Xi, Chu Sheng couldn't help but say, "Do you dare repeat what you said when you advanced to Sequence Seven?!"

"What's wrong with saying this?"

"It just slipped out without me even realizing it." An Xi lay on the ground and began to chant, "In the West there is a divine beast, named the White Tiger, which is in charge of killing and suppressing the universe. Its fur is covered with frost and snow, its eyes are like stars, its claws can crack metal and stone, and its roar shakes mountains and rivers. This is the Four Symbols War Lord, the God of Slaughter of Heaven, the Great Lord White Tiger!"

"Is there a problem with this?"

Chu Sheng chuckled twice, and taking advantage of An Xi's inattention, sat directly on her back. "No problem, but why didn't you say what happened next?"

"Ahem." An Xi shook her body awkwardly, as if trying to shake Chu Sheng off her back.

But seeing Chu Sheng clinging to it, he had no choice but to give up, saying awkwardly, "The ones in the back are too chuunibyou, I don't want to miss them."
