Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 54 Unfamiliar Territory, the Eerie Force is Growing Stronger

Just then, Hui's voice came from not far away, and Zhu Qing and Old Man Li were around him.

"Chu Sheng, An Xi, come over and discuss something."

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng, who had just returned to his truck, paused as he opened the door, looking over with some confusion.

Based on his understanding of Hui, he generally wouldn't call people to discuss things unless he had something to do.

The few times they did get together were only when they were about to reach a new supply point or when they were about to encounter other convoys.

Thinking of this, Chu Sheng did not get back into the car. The sacrificial offerings could be prepared at any time, and there was no need to rush.

When An Xi heard what Hui said, she closed the hood of the SUV and walked over.

After the group huddled together, Hui finally spoke up: "I sensed something was off earlier, but I'm not sure. Could you guys give me your opinion?"

"What is it?" Old Li yawned, as if he had just woken up.

Zhu Qing asked疑惑地问道, "What's wrong? Is there danger ahead?"

"Wouldn't it be easier to just go around it?"

"I thought we were going to run into a supply depot again."

An Xi and Chu Sheng didn't speak, they just silently watched Captain Hui.

Hui shook his head. "You should all know about the changes that have occurred since the apocalypse. Although the strange events came from the sky, the Earth has also changed a lot, and its territory has expanded considerably."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but Chu Sheng frowned and looked at him: "You mean, the area ahead is unfamiliar territory?"

"Mm." Captain Hui nodded.

After Chu Sheng became a Sequence Ability User, he learned a lot from the people around him.

These are things I had never heard of when I was just an ordinary person.

These messages were all leaked by Hui, supposedly from information obtained by the authorities back when communications were still operational. He himself didn't know if they were true or false.

Unfamiliar areas are one of them.

The Earth has inexplicably expanded, and these expanded areas are filled with these unfamiliar regions.

If this news is true, then according to the official statement, there are many strange things going on here.

But these strange occurrences will not leave these regions.

Nobody knows why.

But at the time, the officials also said that this was their only chance of survival; if everything inside came out, humanity would be completely doomed.

There was an unfamiliar area right in front of the convoy, and the expressions on the faces of those present were rather grim.

An Xi frowned and asked in confusion, "Can't we avoid it?"

Hui shook his head helplessly, "There's no way to avoid it."

"It's not that we can't avoid it. There are two roads ahead, but both of them lead directly to unfamiliar areas. If we go around them, our convoy will have to leave the highway."

"You all know the consequences of leaving the highway. Even if I could predict the future, it wouldn't be like this. In the end, we would just lose the car."

"But we obviously cannot afford such consequences."

In the apocalypse, vehicles are not only a means of transportation, but also a means of storing supplies.

Having a car and not having a car mean you can carry different amounts of supplies.

Especially Old Man Li, when he heard Captain Hui say that the car had been abandoned, he kept shaking his head.

"No, no, no!" "If I lose the car, my sequence will have to find a place to settle down and farm. I can't keep carrying around potted plants forever."

Not only Old Man Li, but An Xi also kept shaking her head, "My car just became a sacrifice."

"Moreover, if there is really great danger in those unfamiliar areas, you probably won't even need to discuss it with us."

Chu Sheng agreed with An Xi's words.

"Yes, that's true." Captain Hui nodded. "We were just unsure, which is why we discussed this with you."

"The divination tells me that if we go in, we will encounter danger, but the danger will be much less than when we broke through before."

"Should we go back the way we came?" Zhu Qing scratched his head.

As soon as he spoke, everyone present looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Sigh." Old Li sighed and patted Zhu Qing on the shoulder. "Qing, you just need to listen to the captain from now on."

"If we retreat, we will have to face the strange creatures that are pursuing us, and we may encounter that golden-armored corpse and that cat-like strange creature again."

Hui shook his head in denial, "They didn't follow us, but if we go back the way we came, the divination indicates a slim chance of survival."

“We’ve been here quite a while, and some of the more recent and eerie creatures are already chasing after us. Among them are some very powerful ones.”

"Haven't you noticed that these strange entities seem to have become even more powerful than before?"

Hui's words startled Chu Sheng, who then recalled his earlier words and nodded with a solemn expression.

"Indeed, I hadn't awakened at the beginning, but I encountered some strange things. Although some of them were quite strong, there were also many that could be defeated by ordinary people."

"While ordinary people can't kill those monsters, or even harm them, those monsters can't kill people either."

"It seems like we've never seen anything so eerie before."

Chu Sheng's words reminded the others as well.

An Xi pursed her lips, and a pair of white cat ears involuntarily sprouted from her head. "So, while we're getting stronger, those monsters are getting stronger too?!"

"That should be the case, but these strange changes aren't as significant as ours." Captain Hui nodded and pulled a book from his pocket.

"According to official instructions, each of our guides should record all the strange and unusual things the convoy encounters and then exchange them with each other."

“I exchanged diaries with Li Feifei and discovered that she had recorded strange changes.”

"One of them was a strange creature that she named the Aggregator Machine. They encountered it twice in the same place, two months apart."

"At first, their convoy barely escaped, but later they couldn't find a supply point and went back. Then they found that the monster had become stronger and bigger."

"Among the extraordinary materials that Zhou Dun obtained from their convoy, some fell from this strange creature."

"So they killed that monster?" Zhu Qing scratched his head, puzzled. "They couldn't beat that monster at first, so how did they manage to defeat it later?"

"The specific details weren't written; they only said that he died from flying a kite."

"It's not a big problem, as long as we get stronger faster than those weird ones." Old Li shook his head.

"There's no use thinking about these things now. What we should be thinking about is how to survive and live better."

Chu Sheng gave him a thumbs up.

Who cares about any weird ways of getting stronger? As long as I can survive, that's all that matters.

An Xi's ears were pulled back into place, and no one asked her what had happened to them.

If the sequence changes, it means she has advanced. All they need to know is that An Xi has advanced to Sequence 8.
