"...I can give each of you three bowls...but I want forty percent of the supplies you collect tomorrow..."

Extraordinary food?

Zheng Sheng was stunned. Looking at the pot of dark, mushy porridge, apart from its particularly tempting aroma, it looked no different from pig feed.

No, even a pig might shake its head in disapproval.

Zheng Sheng suddenly understood why Chen Kun and the other two wanted to help them survive.

On the one hand, when encountering strange occurrences, the team can disperse to avoid danger and cut off their own tails to survive; on the other hand, when encountering a city, the more people there are, the more and richer the supplies can be collected.

This also allows these strong individuals to obtain more resources and live longer.

They can take 40% of the supplies; it's practically robbery.

However, many people in the crowd were starving, and soon more and more people agreed.

Zheng Sheng glanced at them, then turned and left the crowd.

He's doing well right now and has no interest in this unfamiliar and strange food.

Moreover, taking 40% of the supplies is too much.

soon.

Night falls.

The chubby chef made three pots of dark, mushy soup. Almost everyone in the group received three small bowls, except for a few people like Zheng Sheng and Niu Dingtian who were in good spirits and refused.

At first, Zheng Sheng was skeptical of the dark, gooey soup. It didn't look like a supernatural food at all; it looked more like some kind of culinary disaster.

But after everyone finished eating, the result surprised him greatly.

In the group, each person only drank three small bowls of dark, mushy soup, each bowl no bigger than a fist. As a result, after a few hours, everyone seemed to have recovered most of their strength.

Moreover, judging from everyone's condition, not only has the physical depletion and extreme fatigue of the past month been swept away, but even the abrasions on some people's feet have been completely healed.

"It really is extraordinary food, how amazing."

Zheng Sheng silently observed his surroundings. The survivor team, which had been lifeless yesterday, was now full of vitality and hope.

……

[Survive for one day and gain 100 survival points]

Current Survival Points: 2000

……

The next day.

After a night's rest, everyone in the team was full of energy, as if they had been recuperating for more than ten days and their spirits had been fully restored.

At the very front of the line.

Chen Kun and his two companions rode bicycles, and unlike usual, they were almost fully armed.

Zheng Sheng also got up early, no longer saving food, took out a lot of compressed biscuits and water, ate heartily, fed Xiao Heizi as well, and checked all the equipment on his body.

Grandpa Niu, standing nearby, had finished all the bread he had traded for from Zheng Sheng the day before. He was holding a wood-chopping knife in his hand, his eyes full of imposing presence.

Following behind Zheng Sheng, Zhang Qing also drank all the filtered water from yesterday in one gulp. Then she carried a large backpack that was half her height on her back and had two large sacks in her hands that she had found somewhere.

The crowd in the queue was all ready.

The once lifeless group became restless, and everyone looked towards the dark, remote county town in the distance, full of anticipation.

But Zheng Sheng had already noticed the expressions on Chen Kun's and the other two's faces.

The human cities of the past have probably changed long ago; they now contain both human hope and danger.

"Alright, get ready, we're heading into town!"

……

……

Sanqiao County.

A dilapidated boundary marker stands by the roadside, covered in moss.

It was daytime, but the sky was overcast and gray.

The roadside was overgrown with weeds, and the low buildings on both sides looked like they had been abandoned for years. From a distance, they resembled the corpse of a giant, exuding a rotten smell.

A group of people stood on the empty highway. The city in the distance was deserted, dark, quiet, and terrifyingly desolate.

Zheng Sheng followed the crowd, looking at the streets on both sides of the road as she walked. Xiao Heizi followed closely behind, never leaving her side, and warily surveying their surroundings.

The streets were covered with dark red roots, densely packed like spider webs hanging on the walls.

Around these red rhizomes, you can occasionally see tangled balls of hair hanging on the dense red rhizomes, looking a bit like a pile of blood-stained hair, or like human heads hanging in mid-air, swaying gently.

Occasionally, crushed remains can be seen on the ground, like rabbits run over on a highway, their internal organs and bones scattered everywhere, forming an eerie dark red color.

Countless white maggots wriggled and piled up on the dismembered corpse, making it look like a rotting "white fish" that had died on the shore.

A dilapidated city, abandoned cars, deserted streets, rotting corpses, a stench...

The chilling scenes in the city instantly silenced the restless group, who trembled like rats crossing the street.

"Don't speak, and don't leave the area around the highway."

"Remember what I said before: only the area around the highway is safe. No matter what you hear outside, don't believe it; no matter what you see outside, don't make a sound."

"We need to find the location of a commercial area, supermarket, or farmers' market quickly..."

Chen Kun warned everyone again in a low voice, and then continued forward, but the group stopped again after walking a short distance.

Ahead on the road, a large number of cars appeared, indicating that a major car accident had occurred. All the cars had crashed together and were burned by flames, turning the area black.

Through the car window, you can see many charred human-shaped corpses inside the car. They are gripping the steering wheel, mouths open, silently screaming, their faces still bearing the terrified expressions of their deaths.

Zheng Sheng looked at the car accident scene in the distance and silently retreated behind the crowd.

In fact, he had already noticed something was amiss ahead, because even though they were a kilometer apart, the little black guy next to him suddenly became alert, his ears perked up, and he became impatient.

"This black dog is truly extraordinary; its demon-suppressing bloodline seems even more powerful than I imagined."

Zheng Sheng hid at the back of the line, squatted down, and stroked Xiao Heizi's head.

This was the first time he had encountered a city since entering the Doomsday Highway, but judging from the expressions of Chen Kun and the others, combined with what they had said before, and the strange county town in front of him, he was certain.

Human cities are not safe supply points; if you want supplies, you'll probably have to risk your life.

Previously, on the highway, as long as you don't leave the survival road area, there is basically no major danger. The only problem is the lack of food and supplies, and you have to walk for more than ten hours every day.

But now, they are leaving the highway and entering the county town where the eerie forces are entrenched to search for supplies, which is tantamount to entering the eerie territory.

If you're unlucky, you might even run into something supernatural.

So, people will definitely die!

Thinking of this, Zheng Sheng opened the panel, looked at the last 2000 survival points, glanced at Xiao Heizi beside him, and no longer hesitated.

"System, add points!"

[Ding! 2000 Survival Points consumed, Evil-Suppressing Bloodline upgraded to Level 2.]

Current remaining survival points: 0

Open the panel.
