Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

"strengthen!"

Su Xing took out the Type 92 pistol, his mind stirred slightly, and he chose the direction of the rune pistol.

[Currently available item upgrade slot 1. Confirm use of 2000 Negative Emotion Points to upgrade the Type 92 pistol?]

"Confirmed," Su Xing silently thought to himself.

[Item enhancement in progress, 1236 points of negative emotion remaining...]

[Reinforcement Countdown: 11:59:59]

【11:59:58……】

The sharp drop of 2000 emotional points is heartbreaking for Su Xing, but it's all worth it for self-preservation.

"A full 12 hours of enhancement time? No wonder it's an extraordinary item!"

Su Xing was filled with anticipation, eager to test the power of the rune pistol immediately.

Although he didn't become a superhuman, having the rune pistol gave him at least a basic ability to deal with anomalies.

Unlike before, when encountering something unusual, we can no longer just turn black and run for our lives.

Awakening has two enhancement bars, corresponding to the enhancement of positive and negative emotion points respectively.

Now that his inventory is filled with pistols, Su Xing decides to further enhance his body.

Based on Su Xing's observations over the past two days, it has been found that positive emotions are more precious and harder to obtain than negative emotions.

That's normal. After all, who wouldn't feel depressed living in an apocalypse?

It's much easier to generate negative emotions than positive ones.

"With over 1400 points of positive emotion, what should I strengthen?"

Su Xing thought for a while.

1,400 positive emotion points is no small number.

The awakening technique can restore 300 degrees of myopia in the left eye and even treat several injuries on the body.

But after much consideration, he decided to continue strengthening his recovery ability.

First, since 600 emotional points have already been invested in awakening, let's see just how far the human body's recovery ability can go.

Secondly, since his injuries haven't fully healed, this can accelerate his recovery.

Finally, who doesn't get hurt in the apocalypse? Investing in resilience is never a bad idea.

"strengthen!"

Su Xing felt a slight stirring in his heart, and a prompt came to his mind.

[Current human recovery ability: Excellent, can be strengthened.]

[Option to enhance: Increase the body's overall recovery ability by 40%, reaching peak physical condition.]

[Required: 400 positive emotion points]

"Huh? A maximum increase of 40% is all it takes to reach the human body's peak?"

Su Xing felt slightly disappointed, but upon reflection, it made sense.

His original recovery ability was at a medium level, but after being 100% enhanced, it should be close to the limit of human potential.

If the difference between individuals is truly several times or even ten times greater, then Su Xing should also suspect that the person is an alien monster in human skin.

"Twice the recovery power of an average person should be enough, right?"

Su Xing murmured, confirming the enhancement.

[In progress, 1026 points of positive emotion remaining...]

[Reinforcement Countdown: 05:59:59]

【05:59:58……】

Perhaps because it touched the pinnacle of human strength, this enhancement took a full six hours.

Su Xing decided to stay in the car to rest and observe the area around the campsite.

Su Yan was cooking noodles outside the jeep.

Further away, a few people secretly got off the bus, carrying a pot, and ran to the edge of the camp. They kept looking around, seemingly afraid that others would come and steal their food.

A bowl of dumpling soup isn't enough to fill you up, so those in the convoy who can afford it will cook a special meal for themselves.

After taking the special medicine, Su Xing lay in the car and drifted off to sleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night because I needed to urinate.

He rubbed his eyes and reached for the water dispenser at the back of the car.

During these past few days of illness, the most unpleasant thing for me after waking up wasn't the physical pain, but the inconvenience of going to the toilet.

Su Yan had to help him urinate every time, and as for defecating... it's no exaggeration to say that Su Xing held it in for five days.

The red moonlight bathed the earth, and the surrounding environment had an eerie feel to it.

A gust of cold wind sent a shiver through Su Xing, and after urinating, he quickly climbed back into the car.

"Wow, it's so cold today."

Su Xing rubbed his hands together, glanced at the time, and realized it was almost 1 a.m., with only a few minutes left before the recovery enhancement ended.

I woke up feeling refreshed and decided to wait a while.

A few minutes later, a message flooded his mind.

[Reinforcement Countdown: 00:00:13...]

[Human recovery enhancement complete...]

[Current recovery ability: Peak human potential (can be enhanced).]

A small stream of warmth entered and awakened my body, dispelling the chill I had felt while outside.

Su Xing curiously reached out to observe carefully, occasionally lifting a layer of gauze to peek.

"Is this the pinnacle of human resilience?"

"Hmm...it's not that amazing! Not like Captain America in the movies, who's superhuman..."

Upon waking up, I felt much more relaxed, but not as exaggerated as in the movies.

But he knew that, in terms of recovery ability alone, his body was already at the pinnacle of modern human capabilities.

"but……"

Su Xing suddenly noticed something; after looking at the evaluation of the human peak, he saw the three words "can be enhanced".

"Could it be...?"

My heart pounded as I awoke.

After reaching the pinnacle of humanity, further strengthening... will undoubtedly lead to entering the realm of the extraordinary!

Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn't help but silently reinforce the thought.

A series of messages then emerged.

[Current human recovery ability: peak for humans, can be enhanced.]

[Enhancement Direction: Extraordinary Recovery: Initially enters the extraordinary realm, possessing recovery and immunity several times greater than ordinary people. Injuries can heal rapidly, and the recovery from fatigue and energy is also several times greater.]

[Requirement: 1000 positive emotion points.]

"Bang bang bang..."

In the quiet car interior, apart from Su Yan's snoring, Su Xing could even hear his own heartbeat.

Super resilience!

And it only costs 1,000 emotion points!

Although it lacks any offensive capabilities, how can its regenerative abilities not be considered extraordinary?

This falls into the category of extraordinary beings in the absolute sense!

This morning, Su Xing was still complaining about why he wasn't a superhuman.

If he were a superhuman, he wouldn't need to give up half of the supplies, nor would he need to beg for help from all sides for a barrel of gasoline.

Now, the opportunity to step into the extraordinary realm has been presented to Su Xing.

And it only costs 1,000 emotion points!

Su Xing looked at his remaining 1026 points of positive emotions.

He can afford it!

"So cheap!"

"It must be because I previously enhanced my recovery ability to the peak of human potential..."

Su Xing took a deep breath and chose to enhance without hesitation.

[Currently available: 1 creature enhancement slot. Confirm use of 1000 positive emotion points to enhance Extraordinary Recovery?]

"Sure!"

[In progress, 26 points of positive emotion remaining...]

[Reinforcement Countdown: 11:59:59]

【11:59:58……】

A countdown timer appeared before his eyes, indicating that in 12 hours, he would awaken and become a superhuman!

Even if this superhuman has no magical abilities, and is only more resistant to beatings than an ordinary person.

But in the apocalypse, this can greatly increase the chances of survival after awakening.

Several minutes passed, but Su Xing still couldn't contain his excitement.

He simply put on his coat, stood outside the car, and lit a cigarette to calm himself down.

Su Xing is a smoker; both he and the original owner of this body were addicted to smoking before he transmigrated.

He hasn't smoked these past few days because his injury hasn't healed, but now he needs a cigarette to calm down.

The cold wind howled outside the car. I woke up with a cigarette, took only a few puffs, and the rest were blown away by the wind.

Su Xing reluctantly stubbed out his cigarette and glanced unintentionally toward the bus.

He saw several figures lining up to get off the bus, their movements somewhat stiff.

"Going to the toilet in a group late at night?"

I didn't pay much attention when I woke up, but there were more unusual things happening at night, and it was normal for them to huddle together to go to the toilet.

Just as he was about to return to his car, a voiceover suddenly sounded in his mind.

In the middle of the night, you inadvertently glimpse several people behaving strangely; this is the mysterious rice paddy's punishment for the gluttons...
