Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 264 The Team Heading in Both Directions

"Sigh, in the end, it's still because I'm too weak!" Zhuo Wu said, sighing, and gestured for Zeng Lei to help him onto one of the few flatbed carts in the group.

"Damn it, all the faith and vows I've accumulated over the past year, and all the incense I've offered for a year, are gone. I'll have to wait another year to summon such a powerful sage again. What a huge loss!"

"Big Brother is awesome!" Zeng Lei exclaimed upon hearing this, recalling what Zhuo Wu had just said.

Upon hearing his shout, the surrounding survivors also shouted in unison, "Boss is awesome!"

"Hmph." Zhuo Wu couldn't suppress his smug chuckle as he listened to their voices.

"But I'm still the best. I killed so many monsters with one blow. Even the stronger monsters in the sky couldn't withstand my attack."

As he spoke, he took out a dozen or so extraordinary materials, each about the size of a finger, from his pocket and tossed them to Zeng Lei.

"These are the materials that mysteriously fell down. As usual, grind them up and use them as ink."

"I don't know what these things are, but they're really useful for drawing talismans."

"Oh, right, put the eyeball, the black hair, the thing that looks like tree bark, and the dry, biscuit-like thing separately."

"These are materials dropped by those strange creatures in the sky. You probably can't handle them, so I'll deal with them myself."

Zeng Lei nodded solemnly as he took the materials from Zhuo Wu.

"Okay big brother!"

Upon seeing Zeng Lei take it, Zhuo Wu closed his eyes, lay down on the cart, and let out a long sigh.

“I’ll rest for a while. Please be careful. Although I killed all the strange creatures around here when I summoned the spirits, you saw that they were formed out of thin air.”

"Okay big brother!"

"I never imagined that the Monkey King Sun Wukong would appear in that pose."

Zhu Qing remained gazing at the sky, his eyes still fixed on the spot where the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had disappeared.

“That’s not the Monkey King.” Hui’s voice pulled Zhu Qing back to reality. “There are other convoys ahead of us.”

He paused, seemingly feeling that the description was not quite right, and changed his words: "It can't really be called a team."

"That was a convoy, but there were no cars."

"There is only one Sequence Ability User in their team. The Monkey King we just saw was created by that Sequence Ability User."

Hearing his words, Lu Guan stiffly removed his head from his neck and hugged it to his chest, looking at him with a somewhat stiff tone: "Can a Sequence Ability User at this stage really create such a powerful attack?"

"That was no longer a battle; it was a crushing defeat."

"They killed four of the most powerful monsters, all of which were at least Sequence Six, in a single encounter."

"You're saying that's a Sequence Ability User?!"

Lu Guan's words were met with nods of agreement from Zhu Qing, Ah Xin, and the others standing nearby.

Chu Sheng glanced at them and said, "Don't forget the future sequence that the City of Machines mentioned."

"At the very beginning of the apocalypse, the ability user of the future sequence was able to directly communicate with the future with the assistance and sacrifice of another ability user, change the situation, and relocate the future attack to the beginning of the apocalypse."

"When it comes to exceeding limits, who can compare to the Future Sequence?"

"It was even because of the ability users of the future sequence that the real apocalypse was delayed until now."

"So it's not entirely incomprehensible that someone would summon the Monkey King to easily defeat a Sequence 6 character."

Upon hearing his words, Zhu Qing and the others fell silent.

Indeed, they've seen the most outrageous things, so what's so strange about seeing the Monkey King appear now?

Both were exceeding the limit, the only difference being that they hadn't seen the future sequence in person, but they had seen the Monkey King in person.

That's why it feels unacceptable.

Just then, Hui smiled and said, "I guessed wrong before, and you don't need to think that sequence is too out of control."

He stopped his constant calculations with his right hand, looked at Chu Sheng and the others, and continued, "That's not the Great Sage Equaling Heaven sequence, nor is it the Victorious Fighting Buddha sequence; it's a Taoist sequence."

"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven that just appeared was his ability to summon gods. This ability has great limitations; it cannot be used in real time. It must be prepared several hours in advance, and it requires faith and incense as fuel to unleash its power."

"According to what I've calculated, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven that just appeared was summoned by the faith and incense he accumulated over a year."

Hearing his words, Qingqing circled around next to Fang Hong, hands on her hips, and said, "He's not as good as me!"

No one took her words seriously, but Fang Hong frowned, "There's actually such a sequence."

"However, incense and faith would be very difficult to collect in the apocalypse."

“Not necessarily,” An Xi said from the side.

"Making offerings is actually quite easy."

As she spoke, she took out the Little Thunder Temple.

"My offering needs incense to use its power."

"The more incense offerings, the stronger the power."

"Bow once a day and you will have enough incense to burn."

As she said this, she glanced at Ah Xin with lingering fear.

The price she pays for the Little Thunder Temple is that she must worship it every day and offer something of herself as a sacrifice.

If this is not done, the offering will backfire and cause mental death.

Fortunately, she had told Ah Xin about the price of this sacrifice, and Ah Xin sacrificed herself for her while she was unconscious. Otherwise, she would have been gone.

Hearing An Xi's introduction to Xiao Leiyin Temple, Hui, who was standing to the side, glanced curiously at the small pagoda in her hand, but only with some curiosity. He then fiddled with it and continued, "If we drive faster, how can we meet the other party tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow?"

Hearing his words, Chu Sheng, who had been silent until now, looked up at him and, seeing the hesitation in his eyes, couldn't help but ask, "You want to recruit them?"

Upon hearing this, Hui nodded, "The other party seems like a decent person."

Upon hearing this, An Xi and the others looked over. Team Leader Hui didn't intend to hide anything, since it would require the consent of all the sequence ability users to have the other party join the team.

"That Taoist priest with the ability is a hoodlum."

"But that was his identity before the apocalypse."

"Based on the information I obtained from the survivors, that Taoist priest with the ability was actually a kind person who helped the weak."

"Although he's a hoodlum, you could say he's kinder than 99 percent of the people in the world."

"How so?" Ah Xin asked, frowning. She had a natural aversion to thugs.

An Xi's expression was also not good; she frowned and looked disgusted.

Not only them, but Fang Hong also seemed somewhat unwilling.

It wasn't that she disliked it, but she was worried that if some thugs joined in, it would affect Qingqing.

Qingqing doesn't have much self-control, and if she gets led astray, she'll really become completely lawless.

Chu Sheng, Zhu Qing, Lu Guan, and Old Man Li, who were standing to the side, all seemed indifferent.

Whether he's a thug or not, it doesn't affect them much anyway.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Hui smiled and said, "Don't be prejudiced against them."

"There was no guide, the whole team consisted of sixty or seventy people, with only one sequence ability user, and there was no bullying within the team."

“Even if a person like that was a hoodlum before, it would be enough to make up for the things he did.”

At this point, Captain Hui paused and looked at everyone, "You guys don't think the thugs I'm talking about are the kind of thugs in TV dramas who grab knives and start stabbing people at the drop of a hat, do you?"

"The society before the apocalypse wasn't some backward country. The hooligans I'm talking about are just the kind who do nothing and drive ghost cars."

"A group of young men who form cliques, at most they get together and fight each other."

Hearing his words, An Xi and the others' expressions calmed down. "As for the energetic young man, he's not bad."

Hui smiled and said, "The other party can't be said to be extremely heinous, at most they're just a bit rebellious."

"Moreover, after the apocalypse, he single-handedly protected dozens of people as they escaped the city."

"Up to now, none of the people he protected have died, and there are even children and elderly people in his team."

“Every baby over one year old has one.”

"That's why I want to recruit them to join us."

"It's not just because the other party is a Sequence Ability User, but also because of their personality and the things they've done."

"He did what none of us could do."

Hearing this, Chu Sheng understood why he wanted the other person to join the team.

"A person like that can't be all that bad, no matter what."

“I agree to their joining us.”

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, Xingzi immediately raised her hand: "I agree too!"

Xingzi didn't have much of a feeling about this; whether the other party joined or not was fine with her, but since Chu Sheng had already said so, she naturally had to agree.

Following their statement, Fang Hong nodded, "Qingqing and I agree as well."

She was initially reluctant because she heard Hui say that the other party was a thug and was afraid that the other party would affect Qingqing, but since the other party was not a real thug, she naturally did not object.

Anxi and Ah Xin exchanged a glance and finally nodded.

However, An Xi was still somewhat puzzled and asked, "Even if we agree, it won't make a difference, will it?"

"They may not be willing to join us."

“They are willing.” Hui gave a mysterious smile.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you about this beforehand."

"In that case, we agree."

As I said before, in the apocalypse, no car team would mind having a Sequence Ability user join them.

Any person with a sequence ability will increase the survival probability of the team members.

That means there are now about ten people with sequence ability in the team, otherwise even if the other party is really a thug, An Xi and the others would have no choice but to agree.

Disagreeing is playing with your own life and the lives of others.

"In that case, let's set off," said Captain Hui. "We've rested here for a while now."

"It's time to go."

"After meeting with the other side, we will go to collect supplies."
