Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

Fang Yuan was taken aback and asked in confusion:

"That doesn't make sense, does it? Pang Yue clearly said that Xu Hao gave him half a cookie this morning..."

Hu Dong waved his hand and said:

"Fang Yuan, don't interrupt, listen to Su Xing first."

"Does 'soothing you' mean to say that Xu Hao, who jumped out of the window just now, is dead?"

"What's your basis for saying that?"

The basis for his awakening was, of course, that Xu Hao refused to provide him with any more emotional points!

Anyone with a normal heart would feel emotional after what happened this morning.

But Xu Hao showed absolutely no emotion, which puzzled Su Xing at the time.

Only after considering the current situation did Su Xing arrive at this conclusion.

But Su Xing couldn't say it directly; he only said:

"I spoke to Xu Hao a few words this morning, and I immediately sensed something was off about him..."

Su Xing recounted what happened between him and Xu Hao that morning, but omitted the "gaining emotional points" part and replaced it with "Xu Hao didn't show any emotional change."

Hu Dong nodded after hearing this and said:

"You have some basis for what you're saying, but it doesn't seem very convincing."

Do you have any other evidence?

Seeing that the two didn't completely believe him, Su Xing immediately dropped a bombshell:

"I suspect that the anomaly hasn't left and is still on the bus!"

"That anomaly has probably been hiding in the convoy for the past week!"

Su Xing's words immediately gave the two of them goosebumps.

[Hu Dong's negative emotions +100]

[Fang Yuan's negative emotional points +77]

An anomaly lurked in the convoy for a whole week—that sounds terrifying!

This means that for the past seven days, they have been living and eating with a monster without their knowledge, even sleeping under the same roof as it.

Anyone could be killed, including the three superhumans.

Fang Yuan's face turned deathly pale, and Hu Dong was so frightened that his lips trembled as he said:

"Xiao Su, you can't just say things like that!"

"You say the anomaly has been hidden within the convoy all along, do you have any evidence?"

"Yes!" Su Xing nodded.

"A few days ago, I smelled the stench of corpses on those refugees!"

"The smell was very faint at the time, and I thought I was imagining things..."

"But thinking about it carefully now, that monster must have been hiding among the refugees, using the corpse as a cover!"

After a pause, Su Xing continued:

"So I guess that the anomaly frequently changes bodies, and whenever a corpse is used for a long time, the anomaly will look for a new target."

"Xu Hao was abandoned, which means the anomaly must have taken over a new corpse, and it's right here in the convoy!"

Su Xing's speculation was reasonable and well-founded, and the two quickly believed it.

At this moment, Hu Dong asked:

"The only question is, you used to kill someone every two days. Why is there only a one-day gap today?"

"If it's to avoid the stench of a corpse and need to change bodies... in temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius, it shouldn't be happening this frequently!"

The car was quiet for a few seconds.

Then, as if realizing something at the same time, they all said in unison:

"This means that the abnormal power is growing stronger!"

The three men's expressions immediately turned grim. It was already a common understanding in the apocalypse that superhumans could become stronger by "eating" humans.

"In that case, we can't delay any longer!" Fang Yuan asked hurriedly.

"Captain Hu, can you sense whose corpse that anomaly is possessing?"

Hu Dong extinguished his cigarette and shook his head, saying:

"That anomaly is very good at stealth..."

"If I could sense it, I would have discovered it long ago! Why would I have waited until now?"

"Dongzi! What good are you?!" Fang Yuan said angrily.

"You bastard!" Hu Dong stared, his eyes wide. He was older than Fang Yuan and Su Xing combined, so how did he become Dongzi?

It was all Su Xing's doing!

Hu Dong glared at Su Xing.

[Negative emotions from Hu Dong +66]

Awakening: ...

Okay, okay, so you're just trying to shift the blame, huh?

Then don't blame me for being impolite!

"Ahem! Dongzi, well..."

Su Xing seized the opportunity to add insult to injury:

"If you really can't do it, I'll do it."

"I can find that anomaly!"

[Negative emotions from Hu Dong +88]

[Positive emotional points from Fang Yuan +66]

Hu Dong's vision went black, and anger rose in his heart.

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked:

"Awaken... oh no, Captain Su!"

"Do you really have a way to find that anomaly?"

"I'm about 98% sure!"

Su Xing said confidently:

"However, we'll have to wait until tomorrow during the day, firstly because the anomalous power is usually weakened during the day..."

"Secondly, I need to allocate food to find that anomaly!"

"I need your cooperation. My plan is..."

Su Xing's idea was simple: to stir up the survivors' emotions when distributing food.

Only the dead cannot have emotions, so we can definitely find that anomaly!

You can also earn some emotional points along the way.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Su Xing explained his plan and then returned to the jeep.

When they got back to the car, Su Yan was already awake and asked somewhat nervously:

"Brother, is everything alright in the convoy?"

Su Xing glanced at his younger brother and suddenly said:

"Something terrible has happened! A major disaster! More than thirty people have died on the bus!"

"Oh? What should we do then!" Su Yan was getting anxious.

[Negative emotions from Su Yan +38]

Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his younger brother was alright, and he didn't care about the others anymore.

"It's okay, go to sleep! I was just kidding!" Su Xing waved his hand and said.

"Oh! That's good!"

Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the chair to fall fast asleep.

[Positive emotions from Su Yan +60]

Su Yan slept soundly, but upon waking, he had no desire to go back to sleep.

Following his method, we should be able to identify the abnormal one tomorrow.

But the question is, even if we find them, can we defeat them?

If we don't fight... then we'll only suffer a slow death!

At the rate of one person dying every day, it won't be long before a few people are awakened.

"Sigh, this is a difficult situation!"

"A battle is inevitable! I wonder how many more people will die..."

Su Xing sighed.

How can you deal with anomalies without losing people?

Like last time, more than a dozen people died, and the convoy was lucky to escape.

If they're unlucky, the whole team could be finished.

Su Xing couldn't care less about anything else; he just hoped to survive the battle.

"Time to use up some emotional points! We need to get the super speed feature sorted out first..."

Su Xing glanced at him and saw that his younger brother Su Yan's power enhancement was complete.

So I spent another thousand points of positive emotion to enhance my super speed.

[“Extraordinary Speed” is being enhanced; 1728 points of positive emotion remain.]

[Reinforcement Countdown: 05:59:59...]

"Superhuman recovery, superhuman strength, and superhuman speed... I guess I possess the physical attributes of a combat-type superhuman, right?"

"I can hold my own against most common anomalies."

"As for negative emotions, there are still over 2,700 left. How about trying to enhance them with external aids?"

Su Xing took out the rune pistol, looked at a few enhancement directions, and was greatly disappointed.

"It can be further strengthened... but it will require at least five thousand emotion points!"

"Even if you sold me, I still couldn't upgrade it!"

Su Xing felt helpless. The emotional points he had accumulated were enough to enhance ordinary items and make his life more comfortable.

But when it comes to the extraordinary and the rare, it falls far short.

"Never mind, let's get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle..."

Su Xing leaned back in the soft car seat and closed her eyes to rest.

The next day, as dawn broke.

Su Xing was awakened by her younger brother's exclamation.

Su Yan looked overjoyed and was so excited he was almost incoherent:

"elder brother!"

"I...I think I've awakened a transcendent state!"
