Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

Chapter 17 Extraordinary Recovery

Watching the emotion points on the panel increase steadily, Su Xing felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

These emotional triggers are the foundation upon which he grows stronger and the source of his confidence to survive in the apocalypse!

"Just showing my face in the convoy and I got over two thousand emotion points, that's a good deal!"

Su Xing thought to himself.

He gradually came to understand that compared to exploiting one person, the entire convoy was a large sheepfold, which could easily provide a lot of emotional points for Su Xing.

"Hmm, it would be great if I could be the manager of the team..."

"A single decision made by the manager can trigger emotional fluctuations among all the survivors. Will there be a lack of emotional triggers then?"

He couldn't help but think as he woke up.

As Su Xing was lost in thought, Old Hu also looked him over. Seeing that Su Xing was wrapped in bandages, but his breathing was steady and his speech was clear, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Xiao Su, were you the one who got struck by lightning the other day?"

"Uh, it's me." Su Xing nodded. Now, everyone in the convoy who runs into him asks him about it.

Upon hearing Su Xing's admission, Old Hu looked surprised and said with a hint of deeper meaning in his voice:

"Wow, you're really tough! You recovered like this in just a few days after being struck by lightning?"

"Have you noticed any changes in your body these past few days? Or perhaps you've acquired some strange abilities?"

Old Hu's words were full of profound meaning; he was practically asking Su Xing directly if he had become a superhuman!

After all, ordinary people cannot recover so quickly after being struck by lightning; only those with superhuman physiques can survive.

Su Xing didn't rush to answer. He pondered for a while, knowing that he possessed a system and that its unusual aspects would be revealed sooner or later.

Being struck by lightning is a convenient excuse to explain his transformation into an extraordinary being.

Most importantly, superhumans are treated extremely well in the convoy, and it's worth it for him to pretend to be a superhuman in order to get more supplies.

Thinking of this, Su Xing didn't deny it, only vaguely saying:

"I don't know either!"

"I feel that my body is recovering quickly, and my energy is much stronger than before."

Old Hu's attitude softened considerably after hearing this. He offered me a cigarette and nodded with a smile:

"Then that's it!"

"While extraordinary individuals each possess unique characteristics, they all share one thing in common: their physical constitution far surpasses that of ordinary people!"

"As for me, I am in the Guide Sequence. Although I am a support-type extraordinary being, my physical abilities are two to three times that of an ordinary person."

Su Xing took the cigarette, lit it, and his eyes gleamed.

Although he had a general idea of ​​Old Man Hu's abilities, hearing about the "Guide" sequence firsthand was still quite novel for him.

The term "guide" sounds like something out of a sequence of extraordinary beings who seek a way to survive or sense anomalies. No wonder Old Hu could become the eyes of the convoy.

"Little Su! It's only been a little over a month since the apocalypse broke out, and nobody has fully figured out the Sequence Transcendental.

"Fang Yuan and I both suddenly obtained the Sequence Transcendent status. But we can't rule out cases like yours, where someone slowly awakened their Sequence Transcendent status after a dramatic change."

"In my opinion, you're most likely awakening a transcendent state!"

Old Hu smiled and patted Su Xing on the shoulder, saying:

"In any case, having another extraordinary member in the team would definitely be a huge help!"

Old Hu spoke with great confidence in Su Xing, and he didn't try to hide his voice from others, so the survivors around him could hear him clearly.

Immediately, everyone cast complex glances my way—envy, jealousy, respect…

In the apocalypse, those who are extraordinary are the elite, beings that ordinary people look up to!

[Positive emotions from Li Weiwei: +23]

[From...]

A series of notification sounds rang in his awakened mind, and he couldn't help but feel a slight joy:

"This is a huge profit!"

Su Xing naturally knew his physical condition and knew he had definitely not awakened a transcendent sequence.

Of course, at this point, Su Xing absolutely cannot deny it; even if he has to pretend, he has to keep up the act!

"Not at all! Captain Hu and Captain Fang are senior colleagues!"

"I'll need your guidance even more in the future!"

Su Xing followed up with a couple of compliments.

Given his previous position in the team, he rarely had the opportunity to speak with superhumans.

But now, Hu Dong and Fang Yuan, the two extraordinary individuals, told Su Xing a lot in one go, including a great deal of information about the extraordinary and unusual, which greatly benefited Su Xing.

After chatting for a while, Su Xing couldn't wait to get back to the jeep and take stock of the emotional gains he had made.

Before leaving, Su Xing noticed a pair of burning eyes in the crowd.

He followed the gaze and found that the person looking at him was Xie Yun!

What kind of woman was Xie Yun in the past?

Although she ate and used Su Xing's things, she looked down on Su Xing from the bottom of her heart and even felt that Su Xing was not good enough for her.

But now, after hearing that Su Xing might become a superhuman, Xie Yun's eyes were practically looking at a treasure!

It was intensely hot, and even had a hint of ingratiation!

With just a glance, Su Xing guessed Xie Yun's thoughts.

But Su Xing didn't even glance at her and went straight back to the jeep.

To be honest, Xie Yun is good for nothing except for her good looks.

She was a burden in the apocalypse, and now that she's awakened, she doesn't care about her anymore!

Back in the jeep, Su Yan winked at Su Xing:

"Bro, um... you really became a superhuman?"

Su Xing had nothing to hide from his younger brother, but his situation was more complex than simply becoming a superhuman, so he gave a vague answer:

"Uh, I'd say I'm half a superhuman!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yan became immediately excited, his clenched fists trembling, and he kept muttering:

"My brother... my brother has become a superhuman!"

"Then I'm the younger brother of a superhuman... Great... That's wonderful..."

Judging from Su Yan's excited appearance, he was even more excited than if he had become a superhuman himself.

Su Yan felt immense joy, positive emotion points +100.

Su Yan felt a surge of hope for the future, positive emotion points +100.

Two notification sounds came in quick succession, showing Su Yan's genuine joy.

"Sigh, this silly little brother..."

Su Xing muttered to himself, then brought up the panel and glanced at the accumulated emotion points.

[Positive Emotional Points: 1506]

[Negative Emotion Points: 2526]

The combined positive and negative sentiment points have exceeded 4,000!

Having just shown his face in the convoy, and with news circulating that he might become a superhuman, Su Xing earned over three thousand emotion points!

His depleted wallet began to bulge again, and the first thing Su Xing thought about was how to spend these emotional points.

Although the convoy is safe for now, anything can happen in the apocalypse.

In order to survive, one must transform every emotional trigger into the strength to empower oneself.

"Hmm, no rush. Let's wait until the previous enhancements are complete..."

Su Xing pondered that both of his enhancement slots were occupied, and it would take more than four hours for the Extraordinary Recovery enhancement to complete, while the six rune bullets were still being enhanced.

After a night of driving, the convoy has reached a safe location for the time being.

Captain Hu also ordered the convoy to rest there for half a day.

It was 1 p.m.

Before the convoy set off, Su Xing finally completed his extraordinary recovery enhancement and gained his first extraordinary ability.

This time, the changes in my body are far more intense than in previous enhancements!

Just like in fantasy novels, Su Xing really felt a warm current surging through his body, flowing through his limbs and bones.

He clearly felt much lighter, his previously tired body became energetic, and even the pain from his wounds was reduced considerably.

"Hiss... Is this what superhuman recovery is?"

Su Xing clenched his fist, feeling that he was in better condition than ever before.

He subconsciously clicked on the panel and found that the panel had also changed.

[Elite Humans: Awakening]

Occupation: None

[Status: Severely injured, weak, moderate internal injury (recovering), moderate external injury (recovering)]

[Skill: Basic Extraordinary Recovery]

[Anomaly: Unstable Rune Pistol]

First, the appellation changed from "ordinary humans" to "elite humans".

Then, in his skill bar, he gained a new skill called "Basic Extraordinary Recovery".

This is the first skill he has acquired!

Having lived for over twenty years, Su Xing feels he has quite a few special skills.

For example, he was a member of the basketball team in high school and played basketball quite well. Later, he also studied dancing and rap for a period of time.

However, it is clear that none of these skills are qualified to be included in the panel.

"So, only skills that surpass human limits can be included in the panel?"

Su Xing made a preliminary judgment. After carefully observing the skill, he found that there was another line of information description afterward.

[Basic Superhuman Recovery (Upgradeable): You possess five times the immunity, self-healing ability, and energy recovery speed of an average human, making you far more durable.]
