Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

"Go ahead," Su Mu said, sitting down opposite her.

"Don't blame me for being greedy," An Xin said, smiling shyly before she could finish her sentence. "Didn't you promise to make me a crossbow with arm guards?"

"Can I switch to a pistol?"

"Okay." Su Mu agreed without much thought. "The pistol is yours."

His Mechanical Heart has now reached level two, and he already has mechanical diagrams of submachine guns, automatic rifles, and even Gatling guns in his mind.

With so many abandoned cars outside, he could easily make another automatic rifle, like an AK. However, he would still keep a handgun as a backup.

The fact that Mechanical Heart was able to level up to level two so quickly was largely due to their help. Moreover, they had gone through a life-or-death battle together and developed a great deal of trust in each other, so he didn't care much about a pistol.

"Really?" An Xin was quite surprised and stood up in shock.

"Of course it's true." Su Mu nodded, then smiled and said, "But you have to give me some compensation."

"Then what do you want?" An Xin asked.

"Just give me..." Su Mu thought for a moment, "...five 500ml bottles of water."

"Okay," An Xin readily agreed, then, remembering something, asked, "What if I want some more bullets? How do I ask?"

"We'll trade you water," Su Mu said directly. "One bottle of water for one magazine of bullets."

"Or a cup of instant noodles will do."

"No problem." An Xin nodded, her eyes shining as brightly as the moon. "I'll bring you five bottles of water and five packs of instant noodles in a bit."

"Make me five more magazines when you have some free time."

"No rush," Su Mu said with a smile, waving his hand as he saw her exhausted face. "You should get some rest too."

"It's not too late to give it to me tomorrow."

"Okay," An Xin replied.

After she left, Su Mu leaned back on the sofa, squinting as he rested while sensing the personal space.

The next moment, his figure disappeared and he appeared directly in the ten-meter square space.

"Holy crap, we can actually get in here." Su Mu looked up and then around, a look of shock flashing in his eyes. He saw that in the surrounding mist, a blue lightning bolt would occasionally flash, releasing countless rice-grain-sized balls of electricity that would scatter in the space and then disappear.

However, when the lightning flashes, it only makes a slight sound, as quiet as the sound of turning the pages of a book.

Su Mu lowered his head, looking at the black soil beneath his feet. Lost in thought, he squatted down and touched it. It was damp and soft—perfect soil for growing crops. Then, realizing something, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"If I can find some vegetable seeds to plant, then I'll have fresh vegetables to eat in the future."

As for wheat and corn, this place is too small, and the yield wouldn't be much. Moreover, the growth cycle is too long, so it's more practical to grow vegetables.

He stayed there for a while before finally leaving, still feeling unsatisfied.

Back in the RV, I lay on the sofa with my eyes half-closed, dreaming about the future, and before I knew it, I drifted off to sleep...

When he woke up again, it was the next morning, and there was a pair of beautiful eyes looking at him.

Beautiful eyes? Su Mu instantly snapped out of his daze and looked over to find An Xin sitting next to him. He quickly sat up, smiling a little embarrassedly, "You're here."

"You were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't want to disturb you," An Xin said, pushing the instant noodles she had prepared in front of her towards Su Mu. "I made these for you."

"Thanks." Su Mu stood up, stretched, and sat down, just about to start eating, when he looked at An Xin and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've already eaten." An Xin nodded, then smiled and said, "You should eat too."

"Don't worry, this is on me."

Su Mu smiled somewhat embarrassedly, unwrapped the package, and began to eat heartily. Instantly, an intoxicatingly delicious flavor filled his mouth, making him feel a surge of excitement.

Since the apocalypse began, he hadn't eaten a hot meal, let alone this steaming bowl of instant noodles. The deliciousness was simply irresistible; he couldn't stop eating it.

Seeing him eat like that, An Xin couldn't help but laugh and advise, "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you!"

"It smells so good!" Su Mu swallowed a mouthful of instant noodles and chuckled. "And it's spicy! It's simply divine!"

After devouring the food in a whirlwind, even finishing the soup, he burped and exclaimed, "That felt so good!!"

An Xin smiled faintly, as if watching him eat was also quite amusing.

"What's the situation outside?" Su Mu wiped his mouth. "Is the sandstorm still strong?"

"It's gotten smaller now," An Xin said slowly. "Ling Hao is organizing the ordinary people to clear the sand around the protective shield."

"We plan to continue our journey once Cheng Jun and Yu Yao wake up."

"Will they wake up this afternoon?" Su Mu asked.

"More or less." An Xin nodded slightly. "Their breathing has returned to normal; they should be able to wake up."

"That's good." Su Mu was relieved and stood up, saying, "I'll go outside and see if there's a usable car."

"I need to get myself modified."

"I'll go with you." An Xin stood up and went outside the protective shield with Su Mu.

Su Mu looked at the twenty-odd wrecked cars; none of them were intact, and all were somewhat deformed.

But none of that mattered to him. As long as the basic frame of the car was still intact, he could simply find some metal and mold it into shape.

After some searching, he found a relatively intact bread cart, removed some metal plates from other carts, and then placed them on top of the bread cart.

A blue light appeared, and the entire shape of the car rapidly changed.

The entire vehicle body has become wider and longer, and its shape has changed from a van to an off-road vehicle. Moreover, the interior space has also increased significantly, especially the trunk, which has become 1.8 meters wide and 2 meters long.

It can not only be used to store things, but also as a place to sleep.

He also added another fuel tank, more than twice the size of the original. Having extra fuel on hand gives him peace of mind.

After that, he removed some foam from the seats in other cars and put it in the trunk. This made sleeping on them much more comfortable.

An Xin stayed by his side the whole time, watching him transform a dilapidated bread cart into a makeshift off-road vehicle, occasionally helping him carry things. After the vehicle was fully modified, she suggested...

"I'll go with you to the next town to collect some bedding and stuff."

"It'll be warmer if you put it inside!"

"Okay." Su Mu was a little surprised, looked at her, and agreed with a smile.

At this moment, Ling Hao walked over with a smile on his face. "Su Mu, I want to discuss something with you."

"What?" Su Mu asked.

"I want you to build a larger truck for ordinary people," Ling Hao said directly, "so that we can travel faster."

"But don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing."
