Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 296 Weird Village
January 1st, sunny.

In the past calendar, today was the Lunar New Year.
But the team showed no joy whatsoever.

Instead of the joy of the New Year, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.

In a place that should have been entirely volcanoes, something extremely out of place appeared.

At the front of the convoy stood a building that looked extremely simple on the outside, but its overall appearance was quite strange.

It was broad daylight, and the Endless Volcanic Region rarely saw rain, let alone rain; there were hardly any clouds, and all you could see when you looked up was a clear blue sky.

But in such an environment, in such weather, in a place full of volcanoes, there appeared a place that looked extremely discordant and even strange, so dark that it seemed to be there when you looked at it.

No matter how you look at it, this place feels eerie.

What do you mean by this place?

Chu Sheng turned his gaze to Hui and Fang Hong.

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, An Xi, Lu Guan, and the others also turned their gazes toward the two of them.

“This place bears no trace of civilization.” Fang Hong shook her head and said, “That’s all fate has ever told me.”

Even if fate hadn't said it, she knew this place wasn't a remnant of any civilization.

Seeing that she didn't know much about this place, Chu Sheng and the others turned their attention to Team Leader Hui.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Captain Hui shook his head with a solemn expression.

"I haven't calculated much."

"There seems to be some strong interference here, preventing me from making calculations about this place."

As he spoke, he took out a tortoise shell from his pocket and continued, "Wait a moment, I'll use this tortoise shell to do some calculations."

Normally, we use divination, which is convenient and doesn't consume much mental energy.

But in situations like this, you have to use a tortoise shell.

With the tortoise shell's blessing, his abilities will be greatly enhanced, and he can calculate much more with the same mental energy expenditure.

Every time he uses this tortoise shell, he spreads some gossip.

To date, he has spread at least eight or ten pieces of gossip.

Including but not limited to, a survivor in Sichuan Province bent over and let the hailstones hit his anus in the hail, which was God's doing to him.

There are also stories of people with the Jiaolong sequence ability marrying a shark and having a human-shark child, and so on.

This gossip was only spread because Cheng Xue roughly understood his meaning and took the initiative to help him spread it; otherwise, he dared not imagine what his reputation would become.

Even so, he was very reluctant to use the tortoise shell.

Cheng Xue was willing to listen to this kind of gossip, while he felt ashamed to face anyone.

Not long after, Hui stopped what he was doing, let out a long sigh, but his expression still looked a little off.

"Have you figured it out yet?" Zhu Qing asked, looking at him.

"I've figured it out, but it's not exactly a complete calculation," Hui said.

“According to the information I calculated, this village has a strange aura of Sequence Seven. In addition, there are many strange auras of Sequence Eight and Sequence Nine, and even some that have not reached Sequence Nine.”

"Isn't this great?" Zhuo Wu said, stroking his chin after hearing his words.

"We've calculated all the strange situations."

Hearing his words, Hui shook his head, knowing that he didn't understand these things very well, so he didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he said to Chu Sheng and the others, "But apart from this, I didn't calculate anything else."

"I don't know how many Sequence 7s are inside, nor how many Sequence 8s and Sequence 9s are inside, as well as those strange creatures that haven't reached Sequence 9."

"Besides being eerie, this village is also very eerie. Although there are eerie things here, they don't affect the surrounding environment, nor do they make the village look gloomy."

At this point, Hui paused, then looked at everyone and continued, "I haven't figured out what's going on with this village either."

"So let's decide whether we want to go in or not."

"Or should we just take a detour?"

Hearing his question, Zhu Qing shook his head. "What's there to hesitate about?"

"Just go in."

As Zhu Qing spoke, Zhuo Wu nodded repeatedly beside him, "Yes, let's go straight in."

After saying this, Zhuo Wu took out a talisman from his pocket, held it between two fingers, muttered an unknown incantation, and finally shouted, "Welcome! Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

As the sound was emitted, he activated the talisman with his mental power. The incantation was just to make it seem more real; in reality, mental power activation was enough.

As the guardian talisman was activated, the talisman that he had been holding between his fingers moved on its own without wind, floating into the air and transforming into a talisman that was one meter wide and three meters high, resembling a yellow curtain.

The talisman floated in the air, then began to dim.

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

His figure grew from small to large, then manifested from nothingness, gradually solidified, and finally became a physical entity.

The last, divine-looking Monkey King appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Why did you summon the Great Sage again?" Zhu Qing swallowed hard as he looked at the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. He still remembered the first time he saw the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

That kind of power, that kind of combat ability, is simply terrifying.

Not only Zhu Qing, but even An Xi and the others were startled.

The only ones who noticed something were Chu Sheng and Old Man Li.

"You reap what you sow. Plant a seed and you'll reap a Monkey King. It's a good deal." Old Man Li looked at the Monkey King who was standing still without moving and said thoughtfully, "He looks no different from my fruits and vegetables."

After glancing at Old Man Li, Chu Sheng then looked at the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

As a celestial craftsman, he was very sensitive to all kinds of creations, but the Great Sage Equaling Heaven before him gave him the feeling of looking at a sacrificial offering.

Old Man Li felt the same way. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in front of him was just like the fruits and melons in his space.

"This is different." Zhuo Wu said somewhat embarrassedly, "The previous Great Sage took a lot of effort to summon, while the current Great Sage is just a shell that was summoned by using my two abilities."

“His strength is the same as mine. He usually just guards our vicinity. When necessary, I can control the Great Sage’s body.”

"But that's about it."

"That's all?!" Ah Xin's voice was a little loud. "You call that 'that's all'?!"

"If I had that ability, I'd be so excited!"

Hui ignored Ah Xin's words and looked at Zhuo Wu, asking, "So the Great Sage you summoned is at the same Sequence Eight level as you?"

“That’s right!” Zhuo Wu nodded. “Whatever my sequence level is, that’s the Great Sage’s sequence level. It’s just that His strength will be a bit stronger, but His consumption will also be much greater. In a high-intensity battle, He can only exist for about ten minutes.” Hearing Zhuo Wu’s words, Chu Sheng looked at him and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. It had been a long time since he had seen such an honest person.

He actually revealed one of his powerful attack methods and even his weakness; he's clearly an honest kid.

Unlike those cunning old foxes in the car team, who are all scheming and cunning.

"Our strength is more than enough to get in." Zhuo Wu briefly introduced the Great Sage's abilities, then continued, "Aren't extraordinary materials very important?"

"No matter what level of extraordinary materials they are, they should all be useful to us, right?"

"Since it's useful, and our team is strong enough to get in, why not go?"

"If you can't beat them, just run away."

Hearing his words, Chu Sheng nodded, then looked at Captain Hui and asked, "You really can't calculate anything else?"

"I really can't figure it out." Hui looked somewhat helpless. "If I could figure it out, I would have said so already."

"After all, going in there is really a life-or-death situation."

"The loss of any one of the sequence ability users in the convoy would be a devastating blow. Why would I hide it from you?"

"Am I tired of living, or do I think those with sequence ability are useless?"

With these words from Hui, Chu Sheng completely abandoned the idea that Hui had kept it from them.

Actually, it's quite impressive that Hui was able to calculate the different levels of strangeness within.

This is also why he never left the team.

With his abilities, he could have broken away from the team long ago.

But if he's alone, he has absolutely no idea or information about what might happen.

For example, in this situation, if he were alone, he would have run away long ago.

While this might save your life, it could also lead to the loss of some valuable items.

But with Hui there, he knew there were many strange things inside even before he went in.

You can choose according to the situation, and you can also learn more about things. At the same time, there are more sequence ability users in the team, and their abilities are more diverse.

Chu Sheng isn't someone to be ashamed of, nor does he have any social anxiety or other obstacles. Only someone with a screw loose would refuse these benefits and run off to suffer alone.

Seeing that Chu Sheng didn't continue speaking, Captain Hui looked at the others and asked, "What about you guys?"

"Go in or not?"

"The majority must obey the minority."

Hearing Hui's words, Anxi and Ah Xin exchanged a glance and said at the same time, "Go in!"

Xingzi looked at Chusheng and saw that he seemed to be immersed in his own world. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm the same as Brother Chusheng. If Brother Chusheng goes in, I'll go in too."

Team Leader Hui nodded, then looked at Fang Hong, Old Man Li, and Lu Guan and the others.

Lu Guan shrugged nonchalantly, "Don't ask me, I'm fine with anything."

"Anyway, the monsters won't attack me, and besides, my Emperor Banner and abilities also have self-defense capabilities. I can do without the extraordinary materials, so don't look at me, look at the others."

At this point, Lu Guan seemed to remember something and continued, "Of course, if you have any extraordinary materials like coffins, please give them to me."

"You really want to build a cemetery?!" Zhu Qing looked at him in surprise.

“What’s wrong with a cemetery?” Lu Guan crossed his arms over his chest. “I have the spirit banner, all I need is a coffin, a burial plot, and a portrait.”

"Awesome!" Zhu Qing gave him a thumbs up.

Hui ignored the two of them and instead looked at Fang Hong and Old Man Li.

Feeling his gaze, Old Man Li was speechless. "You already said that the minority should obey the majority, so why are you asking us?"

“An Xi, Ah Xin, Chu Sheng, and Zhu Qing all agreed, and Lu Guan even said he didn’t care.”

"Then the rest of us will have no choice but to submit to the majority."

"The procedures still need to be followed." Team Leader Hui shook his head, then asked Fang Hong a few more questions.

"Why didn't you ask me?" Qingqing pouted above everyone's heads, looking at Captain Hui with a displeased expression.

"Are you looking down on me?!"

Qingqing raised a profound question.

Hui Team: "."

Qingqing has no rights in the team; everyone assumes she's not present during meetings.

She made every decision on behalf of Fang Hong.

Under Qingqing's fuss, Hui had no choice but to ask her the same question again.

After everything was ready, Chu Sheng finally spoke, "Go in slowly."

"We don't know what's going on here, so we need to prepare more food in case we run out and everyone goes hungry."

"So I suggest we enter the village tomorrow, and prepare today."

Upon hearing his words, Hui glanced at the others and then nodded.

"That makes sense!" Team Leader Hui gave a thumbs up, while recalling how he had eaten fish for almost a month during the recent period of extreme rainstorms, leaving him completely dazed.

Although we know that this village is unlikely to experience the same extreme rainstorm, who can say for sure?

Back in the Netherworld Light, Chu Sheng turned his gaze to the three extraordinary materials placed on the bedroom floor.

This was the payment Xiling gave him.

Of these three extraordinary materials, two are Sequence 8 extraordinary materials.

The other item is a Sequence 7 extraordinary material.

Two extraordinary materials of Sequence 8: one is a sharpening rod over thirty centimeters long.

The other item was flesh and blood that constantly emitted a scarlet aura.

Chu Sheng didn't know how long this piece of flesh had been there, but ever since he obtained it, it had been silently emitting a scarlet aura.

The extraordinary material of Sequence Seven was a seemingly ordinary crystal ball.

But Chu Sheng felt that this thing was very suitable for a butcher.
