Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 16 The Effects of Cherry Tomatoes (Thanks to Bakalacat for the donation)
"With Chu joining us, our survival skills have increased dramatically," Old Man Li said with a chuckle.

As he spoke, he pulled a small, bright red cherry tomato from his pocket.

"Here, this is for you. If you think it's okay, I can exchange it with you for offerings or upgrades using the extraordinary fruits I've cultivated."

Chu Sheng nodded and accepted the cherry tomatoes, also known as mini tomatoes.

This cherry tomato looks no different from those little tomatoes from before the apocalypse.

Seeing that there was no difference, Chu Sheng didn't hesitate and threw it directly into his mouth.

The cherry tomatoes were icy cold as soon as they entered the mouth, but the moment the skin was bitten, a warm current spread from the mouth, and in just two seconds, Chu Sheng felt warm all over.

Seeing this, Hui said with a smile, "Each of Old Man Li's plants has different abilities."

"The cherry tomato I'm giving you is the most mature and abundant variety. Eating it when you're exhausted can restore your strength. If you're injured, it can also heal some wounds, but the wounds can't be too big; it can only heal minor scratches."

"Eating this when you have enough energy can also make your body feel warm."

As Hui introduced the team, Chu Sheng's eyes lit up.

This is a good thing.

Anything that can be cured or restored is a good thing in the apocalypse!

After Hui finished speaking, Old Man Li shook his head with a smile, "We're all in the same team, so I won't lie to you. This stuff is good, but it only lasts for two days."

"If you don't eat it within two days, it won't spoil, but it will lose all its effects and become just like a normal cherry tomato."

Chu Sheng nodded, then a thought suddenly popped into his head, and he asked, "How about I trade you a few bottles of wine for some of these cherry tomatoes?"

Old Li was taken aback for a moment, but quickly a look of joy appeared on his face, and he nodded and said, "Okay!"

"A 500ml bottle of baijiu, whatever brand, in return I'll give you five jin of these cherry tomatoes."

How's this price?

Chu Sheng nodded: "Okay, but I don't need that many for now. You can continue to increase the price of these small cherry tomatoes, but you have to give them to me directly when I need them."

Old Li nodded, "That's no problem. Ah Hui, Ah Qing, and Ah Xi are all like this."

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng glanced at Team Leader Hui, who then nodded to Chu Sheng, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Upon seeing this, Chu Sheng immediately opened his backpack and took out three bottles of baijiu, each 550 ml.

Old Li took the liquor, glanced at it, did a quick calculation, and said, "A total of 1650 ml, that's 16.5 jin of cherry tomatoes for you, right?"

"Yes."

"Since this is our first transaction, I'll round it up for you. I'll give you 17 jin of cherry tomatoes."

"Thank you very much." Chu Sheng thanked him, then looked at Captain Hui and asked, "Captain, when will we likely encounter other convoys?"

Hui was taken aback by what he heard, touched his chin, and began to count on his fingers with his right hand.

After a moment, he finally spoke: "You asked at the right time. You will be able to meet other teams in a week, but it's not very accurate. It could be seven days or ten days, but it probably won't be more than two weeks."

An Xi had already finished looking at the white jade spear and was holding it with great affection. When she heard his words and saw him making a finger gesture, she immediately burst out laughing.

"Brother Hui, you can't go on like this!"

"You need to take a banner with the words 'calculate without omission' written on it, and then recite a few profound proverbs."

"Go away, I'm not some kind of charlatan!" Hui Ge laughed and scolded, then looked at Chu Sheng, "You want to use these things to trade with other car teams, right?"

Chu Sheng didn't hide anything and nodded.

"Don't sell it too low." "Although you only exchanged three bottles of liquor for seventeen catties of cherry tomatoes, this is our internal price. If others don't have seven or eight bottles of liquor, don't even think about exchanging so many cherry tomatoes."

Old Li nodded in agreement.

He didn't mind the other people in the team using their own things to do business.

"Young Chu, remember, the price can't be lower than mine, or I won't give you my stuff anymore."

Chu Sheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

After a brief chat, Hui Ge spoke up: "Get ready in the next couple of days. We're almost at the next supply depot. According to my calculations, it's a fairly large town, and there's a gas station not far away."

"We can refuel there and then go into town to gather supplies."

"Based on my deductions, there is only one strange creature in the town, and I can't deduce anything more specific."

"Another battle is about to begin! Perfect opportunity to test my White Jade Spear!" An Xi's pretty face was flushed with excitement.

At this moment, she was like a child who had received a favorite toy. She stood up, holding the white jade spear, and twirled it in her hand. Pale golden light flowed through the white jade shaft, and the tip of the spear shimmered with a pale golden cold light.

With just a slight movement, a chill and sharpness assaulted my face.

An Xi was even more delighted, "This is the extraordinary energy conduction property?"

She could clearly feel the Geng metal power she possessed flowing freely within the white jade spear, a feeling far different from that of the ordinary spear she had used before.

Zhu Qing watched from the side, then looked at Chu Sheng with envy in his eyes.

"Coach! I want a sacrifice too!"

"No, no! Not a single drop is left!" Chu Sheng waved his hand, indicating his refusal. "Come find me again when you have a weapon and the right extraordinary materials."

"Didn't you want clothes for after you transform? If you can find a monster, skin it, and maybe you can make a sacrificial garment that will allow you to transform."

"Remember, the reward is made of an extraordinary material!"

Zhu Qing nodded, then stared intently at An Xi's white jade spear, his eyes filled with undisguised envy.

He really wanted a sacrificial offering too!

An Xi felt his envious gaze, a smile played on her lips, and with a flick of her wrist, the white jade spear flew out, piercing directly through a half-person-high rock more than twenty meters away.

Then, with a flick of her wrist, the white jade spear flew back and landed in her hand.

"Holy crap! This thing can even circulate automatically?!"

Zhu Qing's eyes turned even redder.

Hui, watching from the side, was speechless. "It's just a sacrificial offering. Why are you so envious?"

"You make it sound so easy. Why don't you give me your map?"

Upon hearing this, Hui coughed lightly, "The moonlight is very bright tonight."

"Ha! The moonlight in the apocalypse is blood red, how can it be bright?!"

Zhu Qing scoffed, then stopped looking at him and turned her gaze back to the white jade spear.

Seeing this, Old Man Li shook his head, picked up three bottles of liquor and left. He was going to have a good drink tonight!
