Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

I woke up, got up, squeezed through the crowded refugees, and prepared to get off the bus.

Whether it was just his imagination or not, Su Xing smelled a faint stench of corpses as he passed by these refugees.

But these refugees hadn't bathed for dozens of days, and the smell was pungent, so he couldn't be sure.

Su Xing followed the two superhumans into the off-road vehicle.

Hu Dong called them both aside, clearly intending to hold an internal meeting among the extraordinary individuals.

Su Xing, who was posing as a superhuman, is now qualified to attend the team's high-level meetings.

As soon as he got in the car, Hu Dong got straight to the point:

"We can't go to Xinchang City; we have to take a detour!"

Fang Yuan immediately agreed, knowing the capabilities of his own convoy.

Upon waking, he asked:

"If we don't go through Xinchang City, which route should we take?"

After hearing this, Hu Dong took out a map of China and said:

"Although the Earth's topography and even its area have changed after the apocalypse, the maps are still usable for now."

"My original plan was to enter Jiangsu Province from Xinchang City, and then go north to Shandong Province. This is the best route to Kyoto."

"But now it seems that this path is blocked!"

After a pause, Hu Dong continued:

"The 'meatball' anomaly those refugees were talking about goes without saying; with our convoy's capabilities, encountering it would be certain death!"

"Besides that, I also sensed unusual activity in the vicinity of Jiangsu and Shandong provinces... After all, these areas are located on the eastern coast before the apocalypse, and there's a huge population there!"

Hu Dong is, after all, part of the mentor group, and no one has more authority to speak on the matter of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and avoiding abnormalities.

The map of China was densely covered with markings and text, showing that Captain Hu had been studying the convoy's route for over a month.

No wonder the team is able to maintain safety most of the time.

Su Xing considered Hu Dong's words carefully, then pointed to western Anhui Province and said:

"So, Captain Hu means we should take the detour through the western region?"

That will take up a lot of time.

Hu Dong nodded and said with a wry smile:

"There's nothing we can do about it. Walking slowly is better than dying, right?"

Fang Yuan nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Su Xing didn't care at all. Although he looked forward to the so-called sanctuary of the torch, he didn't feel he absolutely had to go there.

Su Xing's idea is simple:

Strive to become stronger, and help your younger brother survive in this apocalyptic wasteland.

"Since you all agree, it's settled then!"

Hu Dong pointed to the map and made his decision:

"Let's head west, towards Shunchang City!"

"The Midwest has fewer urban populations and more rural towns, making the convoy's journey safer!"

After deciding on the route, Hu Dong looked at Fang Yuan and asked:

"Sixteen more survivors have arrived, bringing the bus to over eighty people!"

"Won't there be any problems with more than eighty people crammed into a bus?"

After listening, Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said:

"I've collected some car parts before, and I'll try to modify the bus's engine tonight, and also optimize the interior space..."

"But eighty people is the limit. Any more than that and we'll need another bus."

The convoy originally had two buses, one of which was destroyed in the battle with the crab-faced men.

The remaining bus is a large 64-seat vehicle, which was just the right number of passengers.

But now that there are more than a dozen extra people, we have to remodel it all over again.

"Okay, then I'll leave the car matter to you."

Hu Dong nodded slightly, then looked at Su Xing and asked in confusion:

"Xiao Su, how have you been feeling these past few days?"

"Are there any signs of awakening? Do you know which class it will be if it awakens?"

The team's situation is not optimistic, and Hu Dong hopes to produce more extraordinary individuals to increase the team's combat strength.

Su Xing shook his head and said:

"I feel like my body has almost fully recovered, and I'm getting stronger, probably two or three times stronger than before?"

"As for special abilities, they are currently unknown..."

Hu Dong was not disappointed after hearing this; instead, he comforted him:

"Your situation is different from ours; you began to awaken after being struck by lightning..."

"However, one thing is certain: after awakening to transcendence, a person's physical abilities will increase several times over."

"The better your physical condition before awakening, the greater the improvement you will receive after awakening!"

Su Xing was hearing this for the first time, and his heart skipped a beat. He asked:

"Captain Hu, are you sure? Is the improvement in physical attributes after awakening determined by the original body?"

Seeing that Su Xing seemed vaguely excited, Hu Dong was somewhat surprised and said:

"Definitely! I'm almost fifty, my physical condition is declining, and I've awakened a support role, so my overall physical condition is only about twice that of an average person..."

Fang Yuan agreed and interjected:

"I awakened the Balance profession. After awakening, my physical abilities increased by about five times, and I can easily lift a small car."

"However, now that you've awakened, it's probably too late for you to train. Perhaps you'll awaken your ability tomorrow. How much strength will you gain then?"

"As for your younger brother, Su Yan, if he awakens his combat sequence, his power will likely reach a terrifying level!"

Su Xing didn't listen carefully after that; he was now immersed in immense joy.

For ordinary people, physical fitness is indeed difficult to improve in a short period of time.

But he's different!

He can use the system to elevate his physical abilities to the peak of human potential in a short period of time!

Moreover, Su Xing hasn't even awakened the extraordinary sequence yet!

If I were to awaken someday and my body were to improve several times over, just how strong would I become?

Suppressing his excitement, Su Xing pondered for a moment before suddenly asking:

"Captain Hu? You're not even fifty years old yet?"

His awakened eyes held just the right amount of confusion.

Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Hu Dong's face darkened, and he couldn't help but say:

"What's wrong! Can't people grow old?"

"I'll only be forty-eight after the New Year! Do you understand?!"

Hu Dong feels depressed; negative emotion points +60.

Su Xing was genuinely shocked.

Hu Dong looked like a man in his sixties or seventies, standing at 1.6 meters tall, dressed in a conservative Zhongshan suit, with sallow skin and a slightly hunched back.

He looks like he's about to be buried... and you're saying he's not even 48 years old?!

"Ahem, that's not what I meant! Captain Hu looks mature and steady, which makes people feel at ease!" Su Xing apologized repeatedly.

"snort!"

Team Leader Hu snorted coldly and didn't pursue the matter further.

Fang Yuan sighed and got down to business:

"Oh, there's one more thing! The convoy is running low on supplies..."

"After losing a batch of supplies last time, including what we collected at the gas station, the remaining food is only enough to last the convoy for five more days at most."

"Now the convoy has more than a dozen more people, and I'm afraid it won't even last four days."

Fang Yuan looked at Hu Dong and asked:

"Uncle Hu, can we reach the next supply point within four days?"

Hu Dong shook his head and said:

"Disaster!"

"You know perfectly well that while there are plenty of supplies in cities and restricted areas, how many of those places are we actually capable of searching?"

"I carefully select each location for searching for supplies to ensure that any unusual threats are minimized!"

"Now they've changed their route again, and we probably won't be able to find another supply point for at least four days..."
