Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 100 Prophecy Sequence! That red-eyed, white-haired guy doesn't look very bright!

"To put it bluntly, it's already a blessing that you, Big Brother, can favor a few lowly people! And yet you still dare to ask for things?!"

"They're absolutely audacious!"

The burly man frowned and said only one sentence, but the guy then launched into a string of words.

"Skinny Monkey is right, so what if that guy is dead! Skinny Monkey can sense the strange things in advance and avoid them, so it makes no difference!"

The people driving overheard their conversation and agreed wholeheartedly.

"With our abilities, we're already doing well enough to carry these burdens. Who wouldn't praise us for our kindness?!"

As he spoke, he shouted loudly, "Brother, you are so kind and righteous!"

"You two." The burly man was speechless after what they said.

But he didn't refute it; instead, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, I didn't say I killed the wrong person."

"Monkey, tell me what you saw first."

He looked at the skinny monkey sitting next to him, with shifty eyes and a cunning expression.

"I saw three images."

The skinny monkey held up three fingers.

"The first scene shows a woman carrying more than a dozen bags of rice and cured meat walking up to a man wearing glasses and calling him captain. There are dozens of lowly people around them."

"The second scene is a bird-man with wings using a rope to drag a lot of cured meat down from the sky."

"The third scene is a white-haired man with red eyes giving a very honest and shy smile to the birdman flying in the sky."

That's all for now. I'll talk about it later if there's anything else.

As the skinny monkey spoke, he analyzed, "According to my analysis, the captain who appeared in the first scene was their guide. The group of lowly people were next to them and were not driven away, which means that the convoy should be like the idiot we killed before."

"Yeah, what an idiot who advocates equality in the apocalypse."

As he spoke, he said with some disdain, then continued, "As for the second scene, I guess it's that birdman throwing cured meat or something like that to the lowly people below."

"This corroborates the first scene I saw."

The burly man nodded in agreement.

"Your analytical skills have improved! Not bad at all!"

"That's right! I am the prophetic sequence!" The skinny monkey said proudly, then added with even more disdain, "As for the final scene..."

"That white-haired guy doesn't look very smart; he's timid and hesitant, so he must be weak!"

"So according to my analysis, we should pretend to be the same as them and treat those lowly people better for the time being, while keeping the convoy away from them to avoid being exposed later."

"Then we used the guise of a trade to trick that seemingly dim-witted white-haired guy into joining our team if he was suitable, and if not, I would use this thing to kill him."

As he spoke, he pulled out a pistol.

"Then, eldest brother, you should ask the captain of that caravan to exchange diaries, and then capture the captain. Third brother, you should strike first and capture that flying birdman!"

"Sweep them all in one fell swoop!"

"Their supplies and food will all be ours!"

“That birdman looks quite handsome. If we can capture him alive, the three of us brothers won’t have to favor those lowly commoners anymore.”

"Only those with extraordinary sequences are worthy of our status!"

"Brilliant!" the third brother exclaimed as he drove. "Monkey, you truly are our strategist!"

"If this were ancient times, you would be a strategist!"

"A peerless hero!"

"Keep it down, keep it down!" Skinny Monkey said, but his mouth was practically agape.

Chu Sheng was unaware that he had been taken for a fool.

At this moment, he was looking at Captain Hui and Cheng Xue in front of him with a complicated expression.

Finally, my gaze fell upon the dozen or so bags of rice and salt that had been unloaded from the trailer.

"So, you did nothing and yet gained so much?"

Chu Sheng looked at Hui Dui with a complicated expression.

"Yes, that's right." Captain Hui nodded.

"I never expected that this village would have so much rice."

"However," he paused, then looked at Chu Sheng, whose expression was complicated, with a smile, "although these things were brought back by Cheng Xue."

"But she's part of my team, and she's also part of the supplies I collected, so she has to share them too."

As he spoke, Zhu Qing walked out from the direction of the village carrying a large bag.

When he discovered that the village had few supplies, he went to the vegetable garden.

Since the apocalypse, vegetables have become scarce, and we haven't been able to eat fresh vegetables for months. With no other supplies, vegetables are enough to satisfy our needs.

But when he returned to the convoy carrying a large sack of vegetables and saw the dozen or so sacks of rice that Cheng Xue had brought back, he fell silent.

"So it's not that the village lacks supplies, but that I can't find them?"

Zhu Qing threw the bag on the ground, looking dejected.

Chu Sheng and Hui Dui didn't offer any comfort, but seeing him like this, Cheng Xue was afraid he might have some bad thoughts about her, so she quickly said, "No, that's not it!"

“I’m from this village, so I know where all the food is kept.”

"So that's how it is." Zhu Qing felt much better.

He then continued, "Since you're from this village, tell me where the other food is, and I'll go get it." Although sequence ability users don't lack food, having a little more food wouldn't be a bad thing.

Hearing his words, Cheng Xue shook her head, "No, that's all."

“Many houses in the village are actually empty. They work outside and then come back to build houses, but they basically don’t live in the village.”

"Most of the people living in the village are elderly, and there aren't many of them. The only one who hoards goods is my aunt."

"Secondly, there's my own home. There might be things in other places, but probably not many."

At this point, as if she had thought of something, she continued, "However, our village has a tradition of smoking cured meat, and almost every household has cured meat."

"Alright then." Zhu Qing sighed after hearing this, and then opened the large bag that had been placed on the ground in front of Hui and Chu Sheng.

"Look, vegetables! Fresh ones!!"

"Chives, cabbage, white radish, carrot, spinach, lettuce!"

"I haven't had fresh vegetables in ages!"

Upon seeing the vegetables in the large bag, Chu Sheng suddenly thought of stir-fried spinach. Then, remembering the time, he said with some regret, "It would have been so much better if we had arrived here a little later; the vegetables would have been even sweeter after the first frost."

"Who knows if it's been frosted?" Hui smiled.

"It's almost mid-November now, so it might have already been frosted."

As he spoke, Hui picked out some of each type of vegetable from the bag and handed them to Cheng Xue.

"Let's have a meal together later. We can take what we collected today, and then divide the rest, okay?"

"Either is fine." Zhu Qing had no objections.

Since neither of them had any objections, Chu Sheng naturally had even less to say.

"Go and cook, we're going to rest here today."

"Okay." Cheng Xue took the vegetables and started cooking.

"I'll go call Ah Xin and Old Man Li!" Zhu Qing said, and then went to call them.

After half an hour.

An Xi glided through the air, dragging several ropes laden with cured meat in her hands, with two large bags at the very ends of the ropes.

At a glance, there are at least a hundred pieces of cured meat.

An Xi flew all the way up to where Chu Sheng and the others were before letting go and throwing all the cured meat down.

Then he landed on the ground, and his wings retracted.

"Where did these things come from?" She also noticed the dozen or so bags of rice piled on the ground.

"I searched most of the place, and the only thing I found was cured meat. There was hardly any rice or flour. There were only two big bags of it in total."

"Many houses aren't even decorated!"

An Xi looked distressed. This was the worst she had ever collected any supplies, especially since she hadn't collected any herself, while others had.

Seeing her like this, Chu Sheng offered a rare word of comfort, "It's alright, it's alright, even a little bit is cute."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, An Xi subconsciously looked down at her flat chest.

It was only then that I realized Chu Sheng had said "a little" rather than "very little".

She suspected that Chu Sheng was implying something about her, but she had no evidence.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Captain Hui's voice, "Alright, now that you're all back, let's discuss what's to come."

"What is it?" She immediately forgot about Chu Sheng's implied meaning towards her and asked with some confusion.

"Can't we just leave here after that? Is there something else strange happening around here?!"

“No, that’s not it.” Hui shook his head. “But we’ll be facing another team tomorrow. Although I didn’t calculate their specific situation, I did calculate their team style.”

"We can't avoid them, so contact is inevitable."

"What's their style like?" Old Li asked, unusually refraining from drinking.

"greedy."

"Their behavior only goes up to this point."

An Xi glanced at Chu Sheng nonchalantly, then said, "Then prepare for battle."

"That's what I think too, but that's not what I want to discuss with you."

“We won’t meet them until tomorrow, and it’s still early today, so I’m wondering whether to wait for them here or continue onward.”

"Is there even a question? Of course we'll wait for them here!"

“But if we wait for them here, we must leave before 3 p.m. tomorrow. If we are delayed, we will be besieged by the monsters.”

"The advantage is that we are familiar with this place, so it can be considered a semi-home ground."

"If we continue forward, we won't encounter anything strange, but we will suddenly come into contact with them. I can't predict the exact time, I can only predict that we will encounter them tomorrow."

"So one advantage is having half the home field, which allows us to lay an ambush, but if they don't arrive by 3 pm, we have to leave, and then we might run into them on the way, putting us in a situation where we're caught between a rock and a hard place."

"The other option is to set off directly and then suddenly encounter them, but without the advantage of having half a home field, you'll run into them directly and then clash, right?"

Chu Sheng analyzed the two options, and Hui nodded in agreement.

"That's right, so I'd like to see your opinions."
