Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

"Can't find the next supply point?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan's face instantly turned ugly.

The shortage of supplies is no joke; it's a real threat of starvation!

They even had to deliberately abandon a group of survivors in order to allow the rest to live...

But if that happens, the order that the convoy has worked so hard to establish will collapse instantly!

Seeing Fang Yuan's ashen face, Hu Dong sighed and said:

"It's not to the point where people are starving to death."

"At worst, I'll just halve my food intake for the next few days."

"If we really run out of food, I still have some in my car, maybe thirty pounds of grain? That should last another day..."

Fang Yuan nodded slightly and said:

"That's all we can do. I still have some food in my car, enough to spare another thirty pounds."

After they finished speaking, they both looked at Su Xing, their meaning clear.

Su Xing felt a sudden panic.

What the hell do these two mean?

Want to rob the rich and divide their food?

no way!

You two have been superhumans for over a month, enjoying the resources, treatment, and status.

But he'd only been a superhuman for a few days?

The supplies he had were all painstakingly collected by him.

Besides, there were over eighty people on the bus; his meager food wouldn't even be enough to fill each person's teeth!

Su Xing quickly lowered his head, pretending to be stupid.

"Ahem, well... Captain Hu, Captain Fang, I'll head back now!"

Su Xing was about to open the door and get out of the car when he was stopped by Captain Hu:

"Xiao Su! Your awareness is lacking!"

"You're a superhuman, this caravan belongs to everyone! If everyone starves to death, can you survive alone?"

"How about you get some supplies too, just as a token?"

Fang Yuan quickly echoed:

"Exactly! You must have a lot of supplies in your car, right, right, Su Xing?"

"I saw it! You came out of the gas station store carrying a bag of supplies, it must have weighed at least 30 or 40 pounds!"

"And what happened? They only gave out three cartons of cigarettes when they handed over the supplies!"

"Damn it, the last pack of cigarettes is my payment for taking parts out of you!"

Fine, fine! Are you trying to use moral blackmail here?

No matter how many supplies he recovers, weren't they all obtained through his own searching?

Why should we share what we've earned through our own abilities?

"Hmph!" Su Xing turned her head away, pretending not to hear.

Fang Yuan instantly flew into a rage and cursed:

"So you think you're all that, huh? You're not even a superhuman, yet you're breaking the caravan rules?"

"If you were to become extraordinary, you'd be unstoppable..."

Fang Yuan feels angry, negative emotion points +80.

[Fang Yuan's negative emotional points +60]

Before Fang Yuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Captain Hu.

Captain Hu handed Su Xing a cigarette, lit it for him, and then gently advised him:

"Wake up, Xiao Fang's words may be harsh, but his reasoning is sound."

"Just imagine, if everyone in the convoy died, could we survive? You've seen the symptoms of homesickness!"

"In that case, your supplies will be issued last. If the convoy really runs out of food, then we'll ask you for more."

"Besides, we're not taking it for free. I reckon you still have forty pounds of food in your car?"

"You give half of it as a loan to the convoy. They'll return thirty pounds of food to you at the next supply depot, how about that?"

Captain Hu is indeed a wise and experienced man, and he speaks very well.

If it's a loan, and the principal and interest are to be repaid, then Su Xing wouldn't necessarily refuse.

He is not a cold-blooded person, he just cares more about his own interests.

Moreover, Su Xing was also a little guilty, as the supplies in his car were more than Captain Hu had imagined.

I rummaged through the gas station store and bought 60 kilograms of ready-to-eat foods such as chocolate, Snickers, and biscuits.

Including what was left over, there were still eighty or ninety pounds of food.

After some deliberation, Su Xing reluctantly agreed:

"Alright, if that really comes to it, I'm willing to lend the convoy twenty kilograms of food!"

"But I have one request!"

"Make any request you have!" Captain Hu said with a smile.

Upon waking, he said:

"My request is simple: when distributing food, everyone must be told that I provided it!"

After thinking it over, Hu Dong felt that Su Xing's request was not excessive; he simply wanted to gain some fame and enhance his prestige within the team.

"Okay, we'll do it your way!" Hu Dong waved his hand, which was his way of agreeing.

Fang Yuan, standing to the side, remained silent, clearly still angry.

The side effects of the Mechanic sequence made this guy unexpectedly obsessive.

[Positive Emotions in Fangyuan +20]

Su Xing glanced at Fang Yuan and found that he still had a sour face.

Hmph, still a stubborn tsundere?

"That's settled then! Call me when it's time to eat!"

Su Xing said something and got back into the jeep.

Su Xing still decided to lend out some of the food, not because he was a saint.

However, just as Hu Dong said, if the people in the convoy were starving to death, then he wouldn't live much longer either.

Secondly, if they really reach the point of running out of food, the food that Su Xing provides will surely garner a lot of positive sentiment.

Overall, it can be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

……

That night, the red moon hung in the sky, draping the earth in a red veil.

The bus made a clanging and banging sound that lasted for a long time; it was Fang Yuan modifying the bus.

A clearing was set up in the camp, where hundreds of people huddled together, each holding a half-bowl of noodle soup, eating in small bites.

The portion size for dinner tonight was significantly smaller than yesterday's; even the bowl that was simmered had only one extra piece of meat.

This is a sign that the convoy is running low on food.

If we don't reach the next supply point soon, the food we receive over the next few days will only decrease.

Half a bowl of noodle soup wouldn't be enough to fill a normal person up, let alone after waking up and strengthening their physique, their appetite has increased considerably.

After finishing the dumpling soup in a few gulps, Su Xing opened two Snickers bars and crunched on them.

"Hey bro, wanna have a cookie?"

In the driver's seat, Su Yan, his mouth full of cookie crumbs, casually handed over a soda cracker.

Su Xing took it and put a small bite into her mouth.

Feeling full in my stomach made me feel much more at ease after waking up.

In the apocalypse, everything is meaningless!

Being alive and having enough to eat is what truly matters!

After eating and drinking his fill, Su Xing lit a cigarette and brought up the control panel again.

[Positive Emotional Points: 826]

[Negative Emotion Points: 302]

Previously on the bus, the new survivors contributed a lot of positive emotions to the awakening.

"800 points of positive emotion is just right!"

Su Xing felt a slight stirring in his heart and received a message.

[Current muscle strength: Top level, can be strengthened]

[Spend 800 points of positive emotion to enhance muscle strength by 80%, reaching peak human performance. Enhance?]

Su Xing's current deadlift strength exceeds 400 kilograms, but it is still far from the human limit.

Especially after communicating with Captain Hu and the others, Su Xing learned that the physical attributes after awakening to the extraordinary are determined based on the baseline before awakening.

This further solidified Su Xing's determination to improve his physical fitness.

"strengthen!"

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

[Reinforcement Countdown: 05:59:59]

【05:59:58……】

The countdown to the enhancement has begun; in just six hours, the awakened power will reach the pinnacle of human potential.

He's only one step away from possessing extraordinary power!
