Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Su Ye followed Lao Liu into the tent, where the atmosphere was slightly different from the previous night.

Chen Shou, Lin Wei, and Old Zhao were all present, gathered around the simple folding table.

Seeing Old Zhao's condition, Su Ye couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Because now, Old Zhao's clothes have returned to their original state, and his complexion has even become rosy again.

Even his entire body was completely free of any visible injuries.

His gaze then fell on the map spread out on the table, and next to the map stood a mirror about the size of an A4 sheet of paper, its frame made of some kind of dark wood and bone, intricately carved and inlaid to create a pattern.

That mirror was extremely strange.

The mirror is not glass, but a constantly shifting, chaotic mass that seems to contain a gray mist. It cannot reflect anyone's image at all, and looking at it for too long can even give you a dizzying feeling that your mind is being sucked in.

"You're here, have a seat."

Chen Shou pointed to an empty folding chair, his tone relatively calm, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was troubled by something.

Su Ye sat down as instructed, her gaze involuntarily drifting back to the eerie mirror.

He could feel that the cold, sinister power within him resonated with the mirror, and also had a desire to devour it.

"Everyone's here, let's get down to business."

Chen Shouqing cleared his throat and pointed to a marker on the map.

"Our next target is a village or town of considerable size called 'Qintang Village'."

Based on the information I've gathered and my initial assessment, there should still be a considerable amount of supplies remaining there.

There's only one strange creature, and judging from its aura, it should be a first-tier, near-critical strange creature.

However, this eerie state is rather strange, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Sometimes they are enormous, and sometimes they are concentrated in one point.

Be careful at all times.

He abruptly changed the subject, his gaze falling on the mirror, a barely perceptible hint of helplessness flashing across his face:

Let's get to know this first.

This is our team's only "mysterious artifact" at the moment, ranked 0927. I call it the "Questioning Mirror."

"A hidden weapon?"

Su Ye's spirits lifted, his gaze fixed on the chaotic mirror. "Is this the artifact?"

It definitely has an eerie quality.

"right."

Chen Shou nodded, looking at the mirror with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Its function is similar to the legendary 'magic mirror,' which can answer questions posed by the holder about resources, dangers (mainly referring to their strange distribution) within a certain range (usually a specific location or area), and even some historical information."

Lin Wei added coldly from the side:

"But there is a price to pay."

Each time it is used, one of its "requirements" must be met.

The demands are incredibly varied, entirely dependent on its mood, and must be fulfilled immediately upon receiving an answer, otherwise...

You will be cursed by it; the specifics of the curse are unknown, but it will certainly not be pleasant.

Old Zhao chuckled and stroked his chin:

"This broken mirror is a pain, but sometimes it actually works."

This is the price...

hey-hey."

Chen Shou clearly didn't want to discuss the specific form of the cost and went straight to the demonstration:

"Su Ye, you've just awakened, so you also need to understand one of our methods of gathering intelligence."

Now, I'll demonstrate once.

He took a deep breath, turned to the chaotic "Mirror of Inquiry," and spoke in a deep voice:

"Dear Mirror, tell me what resources are currently worth acquiring in Qintang Village, and their exact locations."

The tent fell silent instantly.

The previously slowly flowing chaotic mirror surface suddenly stopped, then rippled like water.

Then the gray mist spread outwards, and a blurry female face gradually condensed in the center.

The face quickly became clear, revealing a bewitching woman with exquisite features, captivating eyes, and full, bright red lips. She seemed to live in a mirror world, smiling enchantingly.

The woman blinked her captivating peach blossom eyes, her gaze fixed intently on Chen Shou, her voice so sweet it could drip honey:

"Oh dear~"

Honey, are you asking me all sorts of questions again?

They will respond to all your requests nicely~

She deliberately drew out her words.

"But..."

You need to really try to please them too!

As she spoke, the background behind her in the mirror changed, revealing a clear aerial view of Qintang Village with surprisingly detailed features.

The alluring woman extended her slender, jade-like finger and began to point out directions on the conjured map:

"Honey, look!"

There's a big two-story supermarket at the west end of this village!

The first floor is mainly for food and drinks. Although it has been searched, there are still many items that slipped through the net on the shelves!

The second floor contains clothes, shoes, and some household appliances. Although they are not very useful now, some of the tools might come in handy.

Most importantly, there's a large, separate warehouse behind the supermarket, but the door is locked.

There are lots of good things inside!

Her finger moved:

"Look over here~"

Although most of the households in the village had been looted, there was still plenty of food stored in their cellars and basements.

Then, she pointed to the east end of the village, her tone seductive:

"There's a gas station here!"

There should still be quite a bit of stock left in the oil tank!

Honey, aren't you short of oil?

This place is a treasure trove!

The strange woman clearly described several important supply points.

They even added locations for some medicine storage points (village clinics) and hardware stores.

The information is extremely valuable.

However, after speaking, the alluring woman withdrew her hands, cupped them to her heart, winked at Chen Shou, and said in a tone that was both expectant and teasing:

Okay~

Honey, the person who asked your question has already answered it very clearly and explicitly.

Now it's your turn to please me!

She swayed her graceful figure, her eyes sparkling, and uttered the request that instantly petrified Chen Shou:

Come on~

Perform a striptease for me!

I want something sexy and passionate!

People love watching strong men dance!

Jump, jump!

There was a moment of deathly silence in the tent.

"puff--!"

Old Zhao was the first to lose his temper, spitting out the water he had just drunk, followed by a loud and unrestrained laugh:

Hahahaha!

Old Chen!

Striptease!

Hahahaha!

fast!

Let's do a dance for Miss Mirror to see!

I, Old Zhao, give you a round of applause!

Lin Wei's usually icy expression trembled violently. She quickly turned her face away and covered her lips with her hand.

But her shoulders twitched slightly uncontrollably, clearly trying her best to suppress the urge to burst into laughter, and a rare hint of amusement spilled from her beautiful eyes.

Su Ye was also stunned.

He watched as Chen Shou's face froze instantly, transforming from serious and solemn to a mixture of red and blue, filled with disbelief and utter shame.

Looking again at the eerie woman in the mirror, her face cupped in her hands, her eyes brimming with anticipation and mischievous glint, he was momentarily at a loss for what expression to make.

laugh?

Chen Shou was, after all, the captain, and the situation was indeed awkward.

Not smiling?

This scene is just too...

This is so damn stupid!

The cost of using this strange artifact is actually like this?!

This isn't just a price to pay, it's practically a public execution!

Chen Shou's lips twitched, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He glared at the eerily smiling woman in the mirror and forced out a few words through gritted teeth:

"Change……

"Change to another one!"
