Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 167 A Clash of Titans! The Butcher's Warning!
Chu Sheng fell into a deep sleep, while An Xi and the others came out from outside.

The group crowded around the front of the vehicle, looking up at the Butcher sitting in the driver's seat.

"Waigaga?!"

The butcher tilted his head, rolled down the car window, and threw a cat head that was baring its teeth and hissing at Hui in his left hand.

The cat head in its hand was already thoroughly understood by Hui and his team; they knew it was just something used to scare people. So Hui simply took a step back to prevent the cat head from hitting him.

But the next moment, the cat head that the butcher threw out bared its teeth and bit at Hui, seemingly wanting to bite him to death.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Qing instinctively tried to step forward to block the cat's head, but it was too late. The cat's head stopped in front of Hui, as if it had encountered resistance and could not move forward even an inch.

Even so, Hui was startled. His eyes widened, and his body involuntarily fell backward, landing on the ground, the fear still lingering on his face.

"Waaaaa!! Gaaaaaa!"

The butcher's eerie laughter reached everyone's ears from the ghostly light.

It seems the cat was pleased that it had successfully scared Hui.

Then, with a clench of its left hand, the cat's head flew straight back into its hand.

If you look closely, you can see a completely transparent fishing line pulling it through the air.

“Xi Xi, have you noticed that Butcher has become smarter?” Ah Xin nudged An Xi with her elbow and whispered, “It wasn’t like this before. It only knew how to obey Chu Sheng’s orders and do whatever he asked. If Chu Sheng didn’t say anything, it would stay where it was.”

“Yes.” An Xi nodded; she had noticed that too.

If the previous butcher was like an artificial intelligence (AI) that would only act when commanded, then the current butcher is like a five- or six-year-old child.

Having developed independent thought, it could actually be frightening even without Chu Sheng's orders.

Upon hearing An Xi's words, Lu Guan tapped his skull and tried to explain, "Perhaps Chu Sheng revealed it?"

"I can sense that Chu Sheng's spiritual power is almost gone."

"With that much mental energy, Chu Sheng should have already fallen into a deep sleep. Perhaps he instructed the butcher to make anyone who approached the vehicle frighten them. Who knows?"

Lu Guan tapped his index finger on the skull, making a thumping sound, which was a reasonable guess.

He then exclaimed, "Brother Chu's abilities are truly extraordinary!"

"In just half an hour, a truck turned into this, and it can even transform into a mecha and a cruiser."

"The Heavenly Craft Sequence is really amazing." Lu Guan's tone was full of envy.

Hearing this, An Xi glanced at him and asked, "Where is your bone sequence lacking?"

As she spoke, she began to list the abilities Lu Guan had displayed, "Sequence Awakening grants instant immortality and makes one immune to strange attacks."

"In addition, you can use your mental power to attack your opponent, create shields with your mental power, and burn your opponent with ghost fire."

"You're only at Sequence 8, which is actually quite over the limit."

Listening to An Xi's words, Ah Xin and Xing Zi nodded repeatedly.

Xingzi, in particular, was the last to join the team and had no idea that the seemingly ordinary Lu Guan was actually so over the limit.

On the contrary, Lu Guan's eyes, which had been burning with intense, eerie blue flames, dimmed, and his voice, which had been as lively as before, became calm.

"If I could, I would rather not have this sequence and just be a survivor, dying somewhere."

"The bone sequence is not a benefit, but a curse."

"If you also want to gain immortality, I can actually make it happen. My will-o'-the-wisps can use your flesh and blood as sustenance for your souls, turning you into undead skeletons."

"Do you want to try it?"

Lu Guan's voice was strangely calm.

He didn't carry any malice, but Anxi and the other two women felt a chill run down their spines as they listened.

Before the three could speak, Zhu Qing looked at Lu Guan and asked in confusion, "Don't you use this ability?"

"I don't want to use it voluntarily, but if someone wants to become like me, I can fulfill that wish."

Lu Guan's tone returned to its lively state, and the will-o'-the-wisp burned brightly once more.

Zhu Qing clicked his tongue and stroked his chin. "I'd like to try what it's like to be a skeleton."

"Brother Zhu, you should just give up. We tried it last time. We burned you to the bone, and the next second you grew flesh and blood again," Lu Guan complained.

The next second, he put his arm around Zhu Qing's shoulder, "But if I advance my sequence faster than you, surpassing you by one or two sequence levels, I might really be able to turn you into an undead skeleton."

"Furthermore, this ability uses flesh and blood to nourish the soul and transform into an undead skeleton. I feel that you can continuously regenerate your flesh and blood and then turn yourself into a very strong skeleton."

"Shall we give it a try then?"

“Great!” Zhu Qing readily agreed. “Let’s give it a try then.”

Listening to their conversation, Anxi and the other two girls silently walked away a few steps.

Zhu Qing and Lu Guan have become a bit abnormal.

In the words of the boys, they were birds of a feather.

At this moment, Hui also recovered, looked up at the butcher who was still laughing strangely, and frowned.

He had just heard Lu Guan say that Chu Sheng's mental energy was exhausted, and immediately sighed, "I originally wanted to ask Chu Sheng some questions, but now it seems I can only wait for him to wake up."

"Let's wait until Chu Sheng gets up before we talk about it," Old Man Li said.

After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.

He actually wanted to find Chu Sheng to fuse one or two sacrificial objects, but it seems that's not possible now.

While in the besieged building, he traded for twenty extraordinary materials using Sun Grass. Although he only managed to obtain ten due to the strange siege, one of these ten extraordinary materials contained a strange heart.

The fact that the strange heart could turn the vehicle into a perpetual motion machine was no secret among them; An Xi and Zhu Qing already knew about it and had informed them.

Chu Sheng did not hide it from them.

He had originally wanted to ask Chu Sheng to integrate it into the pickup truck, but since his sequence could also use extraordinary materials, he thought he should first study it himself to see if he could cultivate a similar plant.

But even now, he hasn't figured anything out. After Zhu Qing also acquired the sacrificial vessel, he decided to give up on researching the heart.

Before he could even look for Chu Sheng, Chu Sheng had already exhausted his mental energy.

Old Li sighed and got back into his pickup truck.

When he got back to the car, the driver, Xiao Chen, was holding a chili pepper and a cucumber, looking conflicted.

Old Li frowned. "Little Chen, what are you doing?"

"Grandpa, you're back?"

Xiao Chen put away the chili peppers and cucumbers, which Old Man Li had given him earlier.

"I'm torn about whether or not to ask Brother Chu to fuse these two extraordinary plants into a sacrificial offering."

Old Li looked at him in surprise, "What's there to be so conflicted about?"

"Although I gave you this for self-defense, I actually wanted you to get a sacrificial object for self-defense from Chu Sheng. Although it would come at a price, it would at least provide some protection."

"I know," Xiao Chen said with a wry smile, "but..."

Old Li looked at him, shook his head, and said nothing more.

He had already done everything he could for Xiao Chen.

Don't blame him if he dies later.

Old Li is so old, how could he not see what he was thinking?
He simply felt that two plants that he could use without paying a price were enough to save his life.

I thought that if he could give me chili peppers and cucumbers, I would give him some later.

All Old Man Li can say about this is that it's short-sighted.

Seeing that Old Man Li remained silent, Xiao Chen felt somewhat disappointed, but he didn't speak up either. Old Man Li, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Xiao Chen, who was staring at the two extraordinary plants, and sighed inwardly. He would have to find a new driver.

On the other side, Hui and Zhu Qing and the others also returned to their cars.

Only Anxi and Xingzi remained beside the Netherworld Light.

Ah Xin also wanted to stay here, but An Xi drove her away.

"What are you doing here?" Xingzi looked at Anxi warily.

“I made an appointment with Chu Sheng.” An Xi said calmly, then asked in return, “What are you doing here?”

"I'm going to give Brother Chu a massage."

"I am a healer, and my mental energy is completely depleted, which is medically known as mental fatigue. I can restore some of his mental energy through massage."

Xingzi spoke with a strong sense of self-righteousness.

After saying that, she looked at An Xi and then added, "Brother Chu will never like you."

Threatening him won't work!

In her view, Chu Sheng must have been coerced by An Xi.

After all, An Xi is one of the team's main combat forces.

The rest of the team combined might not be able to beat An Xi.

She must have coerced Brother Chu Sheng to succeed!

Since obtaining the Eternal Flame, Anzu has become exceptionally brave.

An Xi frowned upon hearing her words. What kind of coercion?
How did she coerce Chu Sheng?
However, she did not intend to explain; she did not want Xingzi to know that Chu Sheng could sit there simply by paying money.

So let them coerce us.

"It's none of your business if he's willing to be coerced by me," An Xi sneered, raising her head to look at Xingzi. "Who are you to him?"

"girlfriend?"

She scoffed, "He won't like you!"

She returned Apricot's words to her.

“Impossible! Brother Chu isn’t that kind of person!” Xingzi retorted, not believing Anxi’s words at all.

"Brother Chu treats me much better than he treats you!"

"You woman who can't even tell what's front and back when you turn over!"

"You!" An Xi was hit where it hurt.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Because Chu Sheng said something similar when he kicked her.

For example, without two nails and a head, he wouldn't be able to tell the front from the back.

Anxi and Xingzi were locked in a fierce battle, while not far away, Ah Xin, with her cat ears perked up, watched the tense atmosphere between the two with a look of smug satisfaction on her face.

Cats have much more sensitive hearing than humans.

Her cat ears are a sacrificial offering; they can hear breathing from a hundred meters away, let alone the voices of An Xi and Xingzi.

"Let's start fighting!" Ah Xin thought to herself, licking her lips and twitching her cat ears.

Anxi was unaware that Ah Xin was secretly eavesdropping on their conversation.

She knew about the cat's ears, but Ah Xin had never shown off her outstanding hearing, which caused her to subconsciously forget about it.

At that moment, she looked at Xingzi, a playful glint in her eyes, and whispered provocatively in Xingzi's ear, "I'm going to find Chu Sheng. When I get back, I'll let you smell his scent."

Kyoko: "!!!"

"Brother Chu is still unconscious, what are you trying to do?!"

An Xi just smiled provocatively, ignoring Xingzi's angry expression, and stepped directly on the tires of the Netherworld Light to try to open the car door.

But the moment her hand touched the car door, the butcher's strange scream reached her ears, and the next moment a cat's head bared its teeth and lunged at her.

Anxi has a strong sense of danger. The moment the butcher threw the cat's head, a pair of wings unfolded behind her, and she leaped backward, gliding five or six meters in the air before landing on the ground.

"Waaaaah!!" The butcher's angry voice came from the Netherworld Light.

It's a butcher! It must protect its best master!

Even if this human has the scent of its owner, it will not let her get close to its owner!
The master's mission must be completed!

"Waaaaah!" the butcher yelled again.

Although I couldn't understand it, the warning and murderous intent in the voice were real.

An Xi knew that this was the butcher warning her.

Moreover, the cat head that was just now was different from the one used to scare Hui; that cat head was actually aimed at attacking him.

Xingzi turned around in front of Anxi, her anger gone, replaced by a smile.

"Heh." Kyoko didn't speak, but her tone was full of sarcasm.

An Xi's face flushed red and then turned pale. She snorted coldly, turned around, and left.

She knew that with the butcher around, no one could get close to Chu Sheng.

After witnessing An Xi's fate, Xingzi abandoned her plan to get on the bus, but glanced at the upgraded Netherworld Light with some concern.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate the vehicle and reach Chu Sheng, who was unconscious inside.

"Brother Chusheng, I will definitely save you!"

Xingzi clenched her fists. She was determined to rescue her gentle and kind brother Chusheng from the clutches of the evil Anxi!

Thinking about it, she left as well.

Ah Xin, leaning against the shady SUV, couldn't help but gasp, "That's amazing!"

"Isn't this better than TV dramas?"

She muttered to herself, and when she saw that An Xi had returned, she immediately looked worried and asked, "Xi Xi, are you alright?"

"What happened just now?"

"It's nothing." An Xi shook her head and said nothing.

Ah Xin didn't press further; she already knew everything.

Then Kyoko came over too.

An Xi and she exchanged a glance, then An Xi snorted coldly.

Although they both had their eyes on the same man, she wasn't about to kick Kyoko off the bus.

Kyoko actually wanted her to kick her off the bus.

This way, she would have a good reason to go find Chu Sheng, and they could ride in the same car, which would allow her to better protect him.

Hui saw everything, but simply sighed silently.

"A sin!"

How come there are only three female ability users in the team, and two of them have their eyes on Chu Sheng?

Cheng Xue looked at him with confusion, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned committing a sin.
