Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 99 Looting Supplies! Another Convoy!
Anxi glided through the air, a pair of snow-white wings with pale gold veins spreading out behind her.

Zhu Qing ran towards the village below her, often covering a distance of five or six meters in a single step.

Some survivors followed behind them.

The village is not large; along a cement road, more than forty rural houses stand haphazardly around it.

Around the house were fields overgrown with weeds because no one was taking care of them.

(As shown in the picture)
Zhu Qing and An Xi took the lead, each heading towards a different house.

The first line behind them was Zhou Dun, the Wu siblings, and Cheng Xue. Zhou Dun, who was walking at the front, stopped running when he saw Zhu Qing and the other two, and then gripped his Tang sword.

He then slowly walked forward, glancing around warily, as if afraid that something strange might suddenly jump out.

Looking at the familiar village, Cheng Xue felt a mix of emotions.

She grew up in the village and also came from this village.

As the apocalypse approached, she thought she would never return, but unexpectedly the train brought her here. Although the train did not stop here, she was fortunate enough to encounter the current convoy.

Now she's back in a place she knows well.

"Shall we go over there?" Wu Meng pointed to the house closest to them, apart from the one Zhu Qing and An Xi had entered.

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Dun was about to agree, but Cheng Xue spoke first and refused.

"That was my third grandfather's house. Apart from some cured meat and simple grains, oils, rice and flour, there shouldn't have been anything else inside."

Cheng Xue's words delighted Wu Meng, who also realized, "That's right! Xiao Xue, you're from this village, so you should know where there are more supplies and food!"

“My aunt’s family must have a lot of stuff. A few months before the apocalypse, there were short videos saying that there was going to be a war, and I saw her hoarding rice and salt.”

"I'll take you there."

When Cheng Xue said these things, there was absolutely no sign of anything unusual about it, as if she were talking to a complete stranger.

She had already grieved, and was mentally prepared. She had built a grave for her grandparents in the ghost realm, and had achieved her goal of getting off the bus.

I must live well from now on!

Seeing Cheng Xue take the initiative to walk at the front, Zhou Dun smiled.

If someone could guide them and tell them where there are plenty of things, their harvest this time would probably be very good!
Villages are different from towns. In towns, there are shops everywhere, and you can see at a glance what they have and what they sell.

But villages are different. In general, a village only has one small shop, but with the development of the times, many villages are now mostly inhabited by the elderly.

The convenience stores are all gone.

In this situation, although food or other supplies can still be found, efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Having someone familiar with the area to guide you at this time will definitely bring you more benefits!
Wu Meng, who was standing behind Zhou Dun and Cheng Xue, blinked a few times, thought for a moment, and then turned to look at Wu Jie beside her.

"When we're looking for something later, look around the neighborhood and see if there's a homemade gun."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

But seeing his sister's expression, he nodded in agreement.

After Wu Meng finished speaking to him, she quickly walked to Cheng Xue's side, her voice slightly louder.

"Xiaoxue, thank you so much for leading the way this time. I forgot to mention before that we should split the supplies we find equally."

Hearing this from a few steps behind the two, Zhou Dun nodded, "Yes, let's split the supplies we found this time."

He knew Wu Meng's voice was louder than before, mainly because she was speaking to him, but he wasn't bothered by it. After all, if Cheng Xue hadn't led the way, they probably wouldn't have gained much, even if they had.

Upon hearing Wu Meng's words, Cheng Xue shook her head, "No need."

"I'm not on your team, I'm just going there anyway, it's just something I did on the way."

"The supplies I found are for the captain."

Hearing her words, Wu Meng glanced at her, then smiled and said, "That's right. You're helping the captain now, so how about this: I'll have Wu Jie help you get a little extra as a way of thanking you."

“Okay.” Cheng Xue did not refuse.

The four of them soon arrived at Aunt Cheng Xue's house.

It's also a rural villa, with a small brick and tile house next to it.

Reaching the door of the cottage, Cheng Xue saw the lock on it and easily pulled out a key from under a rock next to the cottage.

As she opened the door, what came into view were more than a dozen bags of rice, each half a person's height, and two small sacks of salt.

Besides rice and salt, there were also seven or eight pieces of cured meat and some honeycomb briquettes.

Before Wu Meng and Zhou Dun could speak, Wu Jie's surprised voice reached their ears.

"My goodness, so much rice and salt?!"

"How long can we eat?!"

"They even have cured meat!"

"My aunt," Cheng Xue paused, looking at the things in the room, a smile curving her lips.

“She has a bit of paranoia, especially when she’s scrolling through short videos. If she sees something about wars abroad, she gets scared that they’ll invade, and then she’ll hoard a lot of food.”

“Yes, older generations generally have this idea.” Wu Meng agreed. “My parents also have this idea. They didn’t finish the salt they had more than ten years ago, even when the apocalypse came.”

"But how are we going to move all this stuff back?" Wu Jie scratched his head. "Let each of us take one bag; we can't carry more than that."

Cheng Xue seemed hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Wu Meng coughed lightly, walked to Wu Jie's side, and kicked him with her foot, "Xiao Jie, help Xiao Xue bring more things."

"Ah? Oh, okay!"

Wu Jie was a beat slow to react, but he still nodded. Seeing this, Cheng Xue remained silent for a moment before saying, "You can take it with you."

As she spoke, she walked out of the house, went around to the back of the house, and dragged out a cart.

“My aunt’s family has a handcart.”

"Besides here, my family also has a lot of food. If we have enough time, we can take the food back with us and make another trip."

"Let's hurry!" Wu Jie urged, "If someone else gets there first, we'll probably miss out!"

Upon hearing his words, the four of them together loaded more than a dozen bags of rice and two large bags of salt, along with most of the belongings in the hut, onto the cart, making it creak under the weight.

Meanwhile, An Xi randomly barged into a house and searched everywhere, but only found half a bag of rice, a dozen or so pieces of cured meat, and some expired gift boxes.

"There are so few supplies here," An Xi muttered. She grabbed a rope, strung the cured meat together, and placed it on the side of the road along with the half-bag of rice. Then she ran towards another house.

Zhu Qing and she had roughly the same harvest.

However, after finding two houses with few supplies, he gave up struggling and ran into the abandoned fields.

Although the fields were barren and overgrown with weeds, they were not completely devoid of edible vegetables.

Zhu Qing was harvesting vegetables in the garden.

Chu Sheng was squatting in front of the Netherworld Bone Chariot, looking at the dense array of sharp teeth on the ram, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"So, how does this thing strangle anyone it touches?"

He believed that the ram could kill people; it wasn't just a belief, it was a certainty.

But if this thing could strangle enemies, he really couldn't understand it.

While sacrificial offerings may be unreasonable, this is just too unreasonable.

After staring at the corner of the impact for a long time, Chu Sheng shook his head. "Never mind, I still can't understand it."

"But hopefully we'll be on our best tomorrow. If we really encounter any danger, we should just run them over!"

The fact that Hui-dui used the word "trouble" suggests that the team they are about to encounter is probably no good.

In this apocalypse, one bad guy like Chu Sheng is enough.

Because he himself was no good, Chu Sheng hoped that everyone he came into contact with was a good person.

In a sense, how can this not be considered being in darkness but yearning for the light?
Chu Sheng took the red and white bone bow he was carrying on his back and began to practice his aim alone against a tree twenty meters away.

Ten arrows were shot, and all ten missed the target.

"Grass!"

More than 100 kilometers away from Chu Sheng and the others.

A convoy was slowly making its way toward them.

The convoy was small, with only about fifty people, including the survivors.

Most people ride shared bicycles.

Survivors were at the very front of the convoy, and also at the very back.

In the very center is a pickup truck.

Inside the pickup truck, a shifty-looking man spoke to a burly man beside him, "Boss, we're about to run into a convoy. Want to pull off a heist?"

Upon hearing this, the burly man sat up straight, a look of joy appearing on his face.

"A convoy? Can we gauge their strength?"

"I didn't see them make a move, but I did see that one of them was a sequence transcendent with wings."

"And another one, when he smiles..." The shifty-eyed man pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Shy and honest-looking when he smiles?"

"I didn't see much more, but I did see they had more than ten bags of rice, and they ate a lot! There were also a lot of people! And there were a few very pretty girls among them!"

He chuckled, a wide grin spreading across his face.

"It's always like this. I can only see a few scenes each time. I should have known better than to kill that guy who could lead the way!"

"I'm not bad either! I can sense danger in advance and avoid it. I can also sense humans in advance. Isn't that better than that idiot's pathfinding sequence?"

"This is a prophecy!"

The shifty-eyed man was somewhat displeased.

"Besides, that idiot took advantage of his ability to lead the way, bossing us around and demanding that we give our food to those lowly people."

"Brother, those lowly commoners you slept with are still asking you for food. If you don't give them any, they'll go to that guy and curse you!"

"That idiot treats you like dirt just because of those few lowly people."
