Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

"Very good!

Captain Chen, thank you!

Thank you!

Wu Feng thanked him repeatedly, his tone becoming much more sincere.

We will definitely cooperate!

Xu Jiang is ready to begin inspecting and reinforcing your vehicles at any time!

"Um."

Chen Shou nodded and spoke again:

"It would be best if you could send some people to work with our team to count the supplies."

Then let Xu Jiang start as soon as possible, because we don't have much time.

"Yes, yes! I'll arrange it right away!"

Wu Feng immediately responded, then turned and whispered the instructions.

"Xu Xin, Wang Kui, you two take two people and go with Captain Chen's men to count and hand over the grain."

Xu Jiang, take your tools and go inspect Captain Chen's vehicles immediately. You must give those four cars your all!

If more parts are needed, we'll get them from our warehouse first.

"clear."

Xu Xin responded and quickly came to their side.

"Okay!"

Wang Kui chuckled and went to find someone to come and help.

Xu Jiang slung his pre-prepared tool bag over his shoulder, nodded to Wu Feng, and then waited for Chen Shou's instructions.

"Captain Chen, our men will follow your orders."

Seeing that everyone was ready, Wu Feng smiled and spoke to Chen Shou.

For the next hour or so, a peculiar scene of bustling activity unfolded on the open ground at the edge of the riverbank.

On one side, personnel from both sides jointly counted, weighed, and moved the grain.

Chen Shou's side was led by Lao Liu, while Wu Feng's side was supervised by Xu Xin and Wang Kui. The process was swift.

Bags of rice and flour, baskets of potatoes were carefully loaded onto Wu Feng's convoy's heavy bus.

Each move ignited a brighter light in the eyes of the ordinary survivors around the bus who had been starving for a long time.

The extra packets of salt and dehydrated vegetables touched even Xu Xin, who was in charge of receiving them.

On the other side, Xu Jiang had already taken off his jacket, leaving him only in a work vest stained with oil.

Accompanied by Lao Liu, he crawled under Chen Shou's modified armored personnel carrier.

The sounds of knocking, wrenches turning, and brief conversations could be heard intermittently.

From time to time, the power of the sequence flows through the components, modifying their structure and optimizing them.

Chen Shou, Lin Wei, and Old Zhao, along with Su Ye, discussed the four items they had acquired in the exchange inside the tent.

The dark red tortoise shell exuded an unsettling, predatory aura, and the tongueless copper bell was icy to the touch, carrying a chilling and unsettling presence.

Lin Wei carefully picked up the "Frost-Invaded Spear." The icy power gathered at her fingertips seemed to resonate subtly with the eerie blue aura naturally emanating from the spear.

But then she frowned slightly, clearly sensing the manic and corrosive intent contained within.

Old Zhao picked up the "Burning Blood Lampstand" and weighed it in his hand. The dark red patterns made even this vigorous berserker feel afraid, as if he was about to be devoured by it.

"The items are fine, just as Wu Feng said."

Chen Shou looked at Su Ye.

"We'll discuss how to handle this on the way later."

Especially with this tortoise shell and the copper bell, are you confident in your abilities?

Su Ye's gaze fell on the tortoise shell and the copper bell. His surface was calm, but deep in his consciousness, a clear and urgent hiss and temptation resounded.

Wow! ...What do I smell?! ...What is that?! ...

Ah! ...What a delicious taste! ...Pure power! ...

Don't hesitate! ...devour them! ...Now! Immediately! ...

[Delicious! Powerful! Devour them all!! Everything you could want!!!]

The whispers, roars, and temptations deep within his consciousness echoed and clashed in his mind.

The dark red tortoise shell seemed to beckon to him, emitting an incredibly tempting sweet aroma;

The coolness of the tongueless copper bell also became a kind of captivating attraction, as if ringing it could draw endless nourishment for the soul.

The urge to devour him made his fingers, which were resting on his side, twitch slightly. A faint blackish-red thread flashed beneath the skin of his hand, but he forcibly suppressed it.

Fine beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, a testament to the immense mental effort required to fight off his instincts.

He abruptly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the urge to devour.

When he opened his eyes again, the bloodshot ripples deep within them were forcibly suppressed and smoothed out, and his voice carried a barely perceptible hoarseness:

"No problem, whether it's refining it and integrating it into objects..."

Either way, it can be done by directly devouring and absorbing the strange power within.

As he spoke of devouring, the faint blood-red ripples reappeared in his eyes.

Chen Shou keenly noticed Su Ye's unusual behavior, his expression becoming even more serious, and he nodded:

"Understood.

Please take a look at your own situation.

We'll deal with the items once they reach a safe area.

He turned to Lin Wei and Old Zhao:

"Where are these two mysterious artifacts?"

Lin Wei had put down the "Frost-Invaded Spear," and the remaining ice crystals on her fingertips quietly dissipated.

"The cold power has the same origin but different nature; the price of frenzied erosion is not suitable for me."

I can sense that using this will deal significantly more damage than I would normally do.

However, as someone who controls the direction of development, this can be used as an emergency counterattack in the short term, but it should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Old Zhao had already pushed the "Burning Blood Lampstand" away from him, shaking his head repeatedly:

"No, no, no!"

This thing feels even more sinister than the supernatural; it specifically sucks people's blood and vital energy!

I don't want to end up setting myself on fire while I'm fighting!

He valued his own vital energy and had no interest in such a dangerous weapon with a clear cost.

"Then let's keep it as a resource for the team, or..."

Chen Shou pondered for a moment, then turned to Su Ye and said,

"Let's see if there's a chance to trade it out later."

Su Ye, if it's ultimately decided that you'll be the one to "handle" them, how much benefit will you gain from it?

"Quite huge."

Su Ye answered affirmatively.

The strange power and properties condensed inside the artifact are more stable and intense, making it a high-quality "nourishment" for the [alien entity].

"it is good."

Chen Shou no longer hesitated and began to allocate resources quickly.

"Then let's pack everything up first."

Next time we find a safe zone, we should prioritize using those two strange materials to try and fuse them to create a suitable artifact for us.

As for these two readily available magical artifacts, if there are no suitable trading opportunities in the short term,

Let Su Ye absorb it and convert it into his strength; this will also improve the survivability of our entire team.

Neither Lin Wei nor Old Zhao had any objections to this.

For them, unusable magical artifacts are equivalent to waste, so converting them into Su Ye's combat power is a decent option.

Just then, Old Liu's voice came from outside the tent:

"team leader!

"Xu Jiang has finished his work, and the grain has been handed over. Wu Feng is asking about our progress!"

Chen Shou glanced at the darkening sky outside the tent and quickly made a decision:

"Reply to Wu Feng, we will depart promptly in one hour, heading west-northwest."

They decided for themselves whether to stay or leave.

In addition, from now on, notify everyone in the convoy to start a fire and cook immediately, and eat as soon as possible!

One hour later, everyone must have packed their personal belongings, the vehicles must be checked, and we must depart on time!

Anyone who delays them shouldn't say they weren't waiting for them!
