Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 83 Something's wrong! Stop the car!

This wasn't the first time Zhu Qing had looked at him with such intense gaze.

If Chu Sheng hadn't known that this kid wanted him to help him fuse the sacrificial offerings, he would have thought that the kid had a problem with his sexual orientation.

"Remember, I'll come find you tomorrow once you've recovered."

Zhu Qing ignored Chu Sheng's wary gaze, and instead thought of the pufferfish skin material he had acquired at the trade fair, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Chu Sheng sighed, "I understand, but don't get your hopes up too high."

"Your pufferfish skin, although it can stretch, is ultimately limited. The fusion of sacrificial offerings is random, and you can only rely on tendencies to control the general ability and direction."

He paused, glanced at Zhu Qing who was still expectant, and continued, "If it doesn't work, the greater your expectations now, the greater your disappointment will be later."

"It's alright, it's alright. If there's a discrepancy in the results, I'll just keep looking."

"Furthermore, I believe in your abilities!"

Chu Sheng didn't say anything more. He had said everything he needed to say, so if things didn't meet his expectations, it wouldn't be his fault.

While the two were talking, An Xi had already obtained her share of the extraordinary materials.

There are four extraordinary materials in total: two hand bones, a mourning garment, and a red veil.

An Xi naturally chose the red veil.

After all, hand bones and mourning clothes are not exactly auspicious items, and she didn't have any particular need for these four extraordinary materials.

So I just grabbed a red veil at random. Although this thing also came from the body of the ghost, it still carried a bit of festive cheer.

Seeing that she had taken away the red veil, Chu Sheng looked at the remaining three extraordinary materials, and without much thought, directly took away the two hand bones.

The last piece of mourning clothing naturally fell into Hui's hands.

Hui didn't have much aversion to mourning clothes; as long as they were made of extraordinary materials, it was fine with him.

Even if I don't need it myself, I can still use it to trade with Chu Sheng.

Unbeknownst to them, the hard currency among the sequence ability users in the caravan had transformed into extraordinary materials.

Of course, other resources can also be used for trade, but extraordinary materials have replaced the vast majority of resources and food.

After all, with Chu Sheng around, the demand for extraordinary materials can't be low, and they can handle any amount.

After distributing the extraordinary materials, the group didn't linger and returned to their cars.

Chu Sheng returned to the car and threw two hand bones with fingernails on the bow and arrows on the back seat. Hui also ran back to his passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt.

Chu Sheng didn't kick him out; instead, he stepped on the gas and sped off.

The Netherworld Bone Chariot was still leading the way, and Captain Hui would occasionally make some calculations.

However, his gaze occasionally fell on the three extraordinary materials and the bow and arrows on the back seat.

"Chu Sheng, are you going to use a bow?"

"Hmm." Chu Sheng didn't hide anything, nodded, and kept his gaze fixed straight ahead.

"My weapon has become a butcher. Although I can still use it to attack, I'd rather let the butcher fight on its own than use it."

"Besides, I'm not actually in the combat ranks, and I just happened to come across a bow, so I'll become an archer from now on."

"Providing support for Zhu Qing and An Xi from behind is not too dangerous, which is perfect for me."

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, Captain Hui nodded in agreement, "That's true."

"If you ask me, you don't even need to fight. Your sequence ability is enough to obtain resources and extraordinary materials. In addition, with the Nether Bone Cart and the Butcher, your safety is well guaranteed."

Chu Sheng did not continue speaking.

He didn't want to fight, but he needed to hunt down the monsters to gain survival points.

He could reduce the frequency of battles, but he could never avoid fighting altogether. Ranged archery was the attack method he could think of that would ensure safety without being too dangerous.

Otherwise, any knife would do. He wasn't without melee weapons in his cargo box; aside from the weapon he prepared for that woman, he hadn't used them much.

We still have twelve weapons, so we're not lacking at all.

The vehicle was traveling on a dirt road at a speed of about 200 miles per hour.

For two or three hours in a row, we didn't encounter a single strange creature.

They did encounter a village like the one before, but there was no further activity from them.

When Chu Sheng first saw the village, he was a little wary, and Hui's hands were almost blurry from making calculations. But as it turned out, their wariness was a bit unnecessary.

The convoy drove smoothly past the village.

Everything was ordinary and uneventful.

"Xu Aiguo said before that the dirt road in this strange realm is more than a thousand kilometers long. I also calculated that it is 1,342 kilometers long."

"At our current average speed of 200 km/h, we should be able to get out in about three more hours."

"But I always feel it's a bit too comfortable."

Hui said, his brows furrowing slightly.

Clearly, he didn't quite believe that the Ghost Realm was free of strange occurrences.

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng's expression also became somewhat solemn.

Something definitely isn't right.

If the realm of the supernatural has no supernatural elements, then what is it called supernatural?
Apart from the strange group we encountered at the beginning and the red and white demon, nothing else happened.

Too much calm and stability is not right!
Although he felt something was off, Chu Sheng shook his head and said, "Don't think about it too much."

"Whether it's right or wrong, we have to drive there. It would be best if there were no strange occurrences, but there's nothing we can do if there are."

"Sigh, that's true." Captain Hui sighed.

The convoy drove for another two hours or so, but still didn't encounter anything strange.

At this moment, Chu Sheng could already sense the changes in the sun.

Even looking along the dirt road, you can vaguely see the ground beginning to change in the distance.

The exit is here!

At that moment, Hui's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Stop!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng slammed on the brakes, instantly reducing the speed of the Netherworld Bone Cart by a large margin. Using the braking force, it drifted directly to the side of the dirt road.

Anxi and the others who followed him seemed to have long been used to his style. The moment they saw the Netherworld Bone Chariot slow down, they also slammed on the brakes and veered to either side.

Only the last three buses, unaccustomed to Chu Sheng's driving habits, gradually reduced their speed and stopped a few dozen meters ahead of them.

"Why did you park there?!"

"It's time to eat, isn't it?"

I don't love you anymore!

"Turn back! We've become the ones clearing the way!"

The survivors chattered amongst themselves, while the three bus drivers silently reversed their vehicles.

They didn't stop until they were near Chu Sheng and the others.

As soon as the bus stopped, more than a dozen people got off.

The leader was a refined man with a buzz cut; even in the apocalypse, he looked very elegant.

"Captain, what's the situation now? Should we make any preparations?"
