Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 70 Zhu Qing's Desire! (Please read on~~~Please vote with monthly tickets~~~)

Damn poor bastard!

This was Chu Sheng's first impression.

I thought that with so many sequence ability users and such a powerful vehicle as a train, these people would have a lot of good stuff.

It turned out they were a bunch of poor bastards!
However, although he thought these people were poor, they themselves didn't think so.

"Big Niu! You look like an honest kid, but I never knew you had so many good things hidden away!"

Liu Hua, the one with the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood, stared wide-eyed when he saw the honey.

The train's resources are barely enough to meet the survival needs of so many people, even though they are sequence ability users. The train usually doesn't stop, and they don't have many good items.

Honey, even before the apocalypse, would still be considered a good thing.

In the apocalypse, this would be even more valuable, since honey has no expiration date!
"Hahaha! I got this jar of honey not long after the apocalypse started! I still can't bear to eat it!"

Li Daniu proudly raised his head.

Seeing this, Chu Sheng silently took a few steps back; he was no longer interested in making the deal.

Old Li also moved closer to Chu Sheng and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Chu Sheng, these people look a bit poor."

"Ah."

Chu Sheng didn't open his mouth, but grunted through his nose.

An Xi and Zhu Qing, on the other hand, took a liking to the items that Li Daniu had put out.

Zhu Qing asked directly, "Brother Da Niu, how are you planning to trade that combat uniform of yours?"

"Combat uniform?" Li Daniu looked down at the plain black combat uniform lying on the ground, thought for a moment, and then said, "Food!"

"Twenty catties of food, this is for you."

"What about the pistol?" Anxi asked.

“This is quite expensive. This is the only thermal weapon I’ve ever made that can damage the supernatural.” Li Daniu said, stroking his chin thoughtfully, “Two hundred catties of food, rice, flour, and things like compressed biscuits will also work.”

"100 jin (50 catties). Food is scarce in the apocalypse, and we don't have much food either. Besides, your pistol needs bullets, right? Without bullets, it's not very useful," Anxi bargained.

Upon hearing this, Li Daniu pondered for a moment and then said, "190 jin, any less and I won't trade."

"110 pounds, any more is not worth it."

The two haggled back and forth, and finally agreed on a price of 150 jin (75 catties).

Anxi wrote a few words in Ah Xin's notebook.

Then Ah Xin came over dragging two bags of rice in a burlap sack.

This is a large bag of rice, weighing about 70 kilograms.

Food is not a problem for Chu Sheng and other sequence ability users. Although cities have become forbidden areas in the apocalypse, there is plenty of food in supermarkets or grain and oil shops in towns or villages.

With a sharp decline in population, we can't possibly eat all the food we have right now. Perhaps it will be a year or two later, after the food has expired, that the demand for food will increase.

But the kind of rice that An Xi took out, every sequence ability user had one or two bags of it in their car.

When Li Daniu and the others saw the two large bags of rice that An Xi took out, their eyes widened in astonishment.

On the train, the monetary system had long since disappeared, and precious metals were no longer of any use.

But food is a timeless and unchanging form of hard currency.

Compared to An Xi, Zhu Qing didn't haggle much over the price of the combat uniform she exchanged; she honestly traded twenty kilograms of food for it.

Chu Sheng watched all this from behind, but did not leave immediately.

He now realized that these people were all penniless, but who knew that even the poor might have good stuff? As the transactions went by, Chu Sheng truly witnessed just how poor these people were.

Li Daniu, the first to step forward, turned out to be the richest.

The items that others brought out were even less valuable than the last.

An Xi and Zhu Qing made no further moves after exchanging with Li Daniu.

Old Man Li and Chu Sheng had never made any dealings.

Most of the items taken out by the sequence ability users on the train were traded among themselves.

However, at that moment, the last ability user on the train also displayed what he had brought out for trade.

This is a man with a full beard.

"I don't have that much good stuff. As for food, I barely have enough for myself."

"This is all that's available for trade."

As he spoke, he carefully placed the items on the ground.

Chu Sheng looked around and saw a bow that had been disassembled into four parts: two bow limbs, a handle, and the bowstring, all neatly arranged on the ground.

In addition, there were thirty arrows.

(Modern American hunting bows are essentially bows with a nock at the grip; they're made entirely of wood and resemble traditional bows.)
Besides the bow and arrows, he also displayed a fish skin.

He continued, "Before the apocalypse, I was a bow and arrow enthusiast, but after the apocalypse, this thing is useless. I'll keep it, since I can't use it. If anyone wants it, just give them some food and take it."

"As for this fish skin, it was left behind by a pufferfish that died in the convoy I was in before I boarded the train."

"The Weird things drop some strange things, as you know. Although we don't know what they're used for, we always feel like they might be of some use."

Looking at the two items he had laid out, Li Daniu laughed and joked, "Old Xing, you're not good enough. That's all you have. Next time I'll get you a compound bow!"

"We're mechanics, after all. The things we create can penetrate even the most bizarre defenses!"

Upon hearing this, Old Xing gave a wry smile.

"Let's talk about it later."

After speaking, he looked at Chu Sheng and the others, or more precisely, at An Xi and Zhu Qing.

Chu Sheng and Old Man Li were practically invisible, always huddled at the very back.

As for Ah Xin, he could tell to some extent that this girl was led by the girl with the long gun.

An Xi glanced briefly at the things he had placed on the ground without making any move, clearly showing no interest whatsoever.

On the contrary, Zhu Qing looked at the fish skin with burning eyes.

Pufferfish!

Pufferfish skin!
Being able to grow large or small is a standard feature of pufferfish, not to mention that this is an extraordinary material that pufferfish mysteriously fell from.

He had a premonition that what he had always longed for was about to be realized through this extraordinary material.

He had long been fed up with the fact that he would turn into a virgin every time he transformed; the eerie sense of shame made him feel like people were pointing fingers at him.

Just as he was about to speak, Chu Sheng's voice came from behind him.

"How about I trade that bow for two large bags of instant noodles, that's ten bags of instant noodles?"

Clearly, Chu Sheng had his eye on this bow.

Hearing his words, Old Xing was taken aback, then nodded. "Okay, but if you ever don't need this bow anymore, remember to keep it safe, or bury it somewhere."
