Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 31 Scarlet World, Dissecting Zombies (4,000 words)
[Human Eye Cat Pupil]

[Ranking of offerings: 5721]

[Ability 1: Possesses cat-like pupils, which can see through the fog under the blood moon's light, and increases resistance to mental attacks.]

[Ability Two: Looking directly into a human's cat-like eyes for more than three seconds will result in a mental hammering sensation.]

[Ability 3: Can see strange occurrences within a one-kilometer radius.]

[Sacrifice: Extraordinary items; every use comes at a price!]

[The cost of using a human eye with cat-like pupils: replacing the eyeball.]

[But if you are Chu Sheng, there is no cost to using it!]

"Two extraordinary materials can be fused together?"

Seeing the white light in Chu Sheng's hand dissipate, An Xi forgot her anger and asked in confusion.

"After fusion, did it become a sacrificial offering? Or did it transform into an even more powerful extraordinary material?"

Zhu Qing, equally puzzled, looked at those scarlet pupils and said uncertainly, "It should have turned into another extraordinary material, right?!"

He simply couldn't understand what the conditions would be for using those scarlet eyes if they were a sacrificial offering.

Or rather, he already had some suspicions in his mind, but he was hesitant to believe them.

Chu Sheng glanced at the two of them, then said nothing, instead slowly bringing the human-eye cat pupil closer to his own eyes.

Others need to have their eyes gouged out and then have their human cat pupils used to replace the gouged-out eyeballs, but he doesn't.

As the creator of the offerings, the offerings he creates will not harm him.

As the human eye slowly approached, under the gaze of An Xi and Zhu Qing, the originally scarlet pupils suddenly became somewhat dim.

Until it came into contact with Chu Sheng's original eyes, the human-cat pupils transformed into a crimson stream of light that covered his original eyes.

Chu Sheng felt a cool sensation enter his eyes, and then he subconsciously closed them.

When he opened his eyes again, the outline of the world was displayed before him.

The world that was originally normal had turned scarlet in his eyes, just like the world illuminated by a blood moon at night, only much brighter.

Besides that, he could also see a black glow shooting into the sky not far away.

Even though he had never seen it before, Chu Sheng subconsciously knew that it was eerie.

The black light was heading in their direction.

[Ability 3: Can see strange occurrences within a one-kilometer radius.]

This is the fundamental reason why this offering ranks 5721st.

One kilometer is not a large area. If he can see it, it means that the strange creature will definitely catch up. It is not very useful for guiding the way, but it can be used to give advance warning.

Just as Chu Sheng saw the eerie creature approaching, Hui's voice reached their ears.

"Something's fishy! Be on high alert!"

Upon hearing his words, An Xi and Zhu Qing's expressions changed, and they stopped paying attention to Chu Sheng, instead looking around warily.

Chu Sheng stood up, drew his butcher knife from his waist, and said, "That strange creature is a few hundred meters behind us."

"Just be wary of this direction."

Chu Sheng's scarlet eyes and white hair created an eerie harmony.

"This is your new ability?!"

An Xi slowly turned around and couldn't help but look at his scarlet eyes with curiosity.

I advise you not to look me in the eye!

Chu Sheng did not answer, but spoke with a warning, while keeping his eyes on the approaching black mist.

"Tch, I'm not even looking at you!" An Xi pouted, picked up the white jade spear in her hand, and then jumped directly onto a large tree not far away.

Zhu Qing, on the other hand, transformed into a giant over five meters tall.

Unlike supermarkets, there are no height restrictions here, so he naturally wants to reach his strongest state.

As he transformed, the clothes he was wearing, which were originally loose, instantly straightened and began to stretch along with his body shape.

Zhu Qing stopped changing, and her clothes changed from loose to tight-fitting.

Zhu Qing was quite satisfied with this. Although wearing tight clothes was a bit embarrassing, at least she wasn't running around naked anymore.

As the three were ready, the strange creature appeared before them.

They could see them hopping and skipping towards them from afar.

Chu Sheng narrowed his eyes, peering through the crimson color in his vision, and asked uncertainly, "Is this a zombie?"

Zhu Qing was also somewhat uncertain, frowning as she said, "It seems so?"

An Xi confirmed, "It is a zombie, but judging from its black fur, it looks like a black zombie!"

"Black zombie?"

"Where did you get so many strange things from?" Chu Sheng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The more you see, the more you know." An Xi glanced at Chu Sheng, seemingly retaliating for his earlier scheme against her, and became a riddle-maker.

Chu Sheng looked at Zhu Qing, who did not hide anything and said, "It's the captain."

"The captain will keep a diary based on our convoy's routes, locations, and any strange occurrences we've encountered."

“If they encounter a convoy and the other party also has such a diary, they will exchange it to read.”

"If you want to know, you can go ask the captain for it later."

Zhu Qing smiled as she spoke, "That thing is still quite important."

"If it weren't for the apocalypse, I would feel like I was reading an encyclopedia. There are many strange images in it, and their characteristics are clearly described. Many of the strange things even have their abilities described."

"This black zombie is the same weird creature I saw in that diary before."

Chu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

Before he could speak, the black zombie was already not far from them. Seeing this, Chu Sheng did not rush over directly, but waited for An Xi and Zhu Qing to make the first move.

After all, it's a zombie. Who knows what abilities it has? What if I get caught and turn into a zombie too?

Survival is important, but Chu Sheng values ​​his own life more.

I'll sneak in a few more hits later to get some survival points.

Thinking it over, Chu Sheng unconsciously took a few steps and shielded Zhu Qing in front of him.

"You two keep an eye on things. Once you've subdued that zombie, let me dissect it!"

Chu Sheng's words caused Zhu Qing and An Xi to pause, and then they subtly changed their fighting style.

Indeed, if the control of the zombies could be handed over to Chu Sheng for dissection, more extraordinary materials would be produced.

This is much more worthwhile than them fighting and killing each other.

After saying that, Chu Sheng ran off to the back.

They only stopped running when they reached Hui and Old Man Li.

Hui looked at Chu Sheng and said speechlessly, "I thought you were going to go up there, since you were so imposing at first."

"Young people, they can understand," Old Li said with a smile as he looked at Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng merely glanced at the two of them with his scarlet eyes, "What do you know? This is called a clear division of labor!"

"Besides, I don't understand the zombie's abilities. What if I get ambushed, or get scratched or something? Wouldn't I turn into a zombie too?"

"It's not worth it!"

"Who told you that getting scratched by a zombie will turn you into one?" Hui looked at him questioningly. "Isn't that how it's portrayed in the movies?"

Chu Shengli was upright and confident.

"That's a movie, this is reality."

"I don't know about other zombies, but if a black zombie scratches someone, it won't turn them into a zombie. It will just cause injury, and the recovery speed will be slower, but overall it's still fine."

"If you want to become a zombie, the only way is to have your blood sucked by a black zombie."

"Is that so?" Chu Sheng seemed to realize something, but he still didn't move.

He had already told An Xi and Zhu Qing that once the zombies were controlled, they would teach him how to dissect them. Going there now would just be to get a little more survival points.

There's absolutely no need for that; let's just play it safe for now.

At this moment, An Xi was attacking the black zombie with her spear.

The black zombie was inferior to the armored corpse; every attack An Xi made left a wound on its body.

The spear imbued with the power of Geng metal even slowed down the black zombie's recovery considerably.

Zhu Qing watched from the sidelines and saw that An Xi had completely restrained the black zombie. Seizing the opportunity, he stepped forward and used his massive body to pin the black zombie to the ground.

Chu Sheng watched from a distance. Seeing the black zombie being suppressed, he ran over, his pig-slaughtering knife itching to be used.

"Okay, okay! You guys keep this under control for me, leave the rest to me!"

Chu Sheng, carrying a butcher's knife, headed towards the black zombie.

Hearing his words, Zhu Qing nodded, stepped on the black zombie's back with one foot, pinning it to the ground, and said, "Come on!"

An Xi then swung her spear, piercing through one of the black zombie's hands and pinning it to the ground.

"Let's dissect it first." Having witnessed Chu Sheng's bizarre dissection methods, An Xi was somewhat familiar with his approach.

Chu Sheng gave An Xi an approving look.

Children can be taught.

Knowing to remove the strange limbs first to prevent them from hurting themselves.

"I see you have the makings of a butcher. How about you learn anatomy with me?"

An Xi: "."

No need!

Just watching Chu Sheng dissect bizarre things gave her the feeling of facing an evil scientist. If she were to do the dissection herself, she would definitely suffer a mental attack.

In the apocalypse, An Xi felt no psychological burden whether she killed people or monsters.

But to kill it and then dissect it is something I really can't stand.

Others might not know, but she knew very well that this guy was a beast.

In order to stall the strange entity, they attacked people running on the road to buy them time.

She knew Chu Sheng's personality to some extent. Although he spoke nicely, if she actually agreed, he would definitely ask her for tuition fees.

Chu Sheng was somewhat disappointed when he heard her refusal. "Alright, if you want to learn anatomy in the future, you can come to me. Five pieces of extraordinary materials will suffice as tuition."

"Shu Xiu?! You're quite cultured!" An Xi looked at him with an "I knew it" expression.

"It's traditional culture, after all." Chu Sheng didn't care. He brought down the butcher's knife, severing half of the black zombie's arm.

Chu Sheng raised an eyebrow and brought down the knife again, finally severing its arm completely.

Holding the black general's arm, Chu Sheng precisely removed the fingernails from all five of his fingers.

Only now did Chu Sheng realize that the human-cat eyes he had fused with actually had another effect.

That's where you see the dense black aura on the eerie body.

The places where the black energy gathers on the strange creature's body are naturally where the extraordinary materials are.

After merging with the cat's eyes, although the world he saw turned red, it had no effect on him; on the contrary, it enhanced him considerably.

As Chu Sheng severed the black zombie's limbs, he also removed all its fingernails.

However, there were no extraordinary materials on the black zombie's legs.

Seeing the zombie that was now just a head and a torso, Chu Sheng paused, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, and thrust the butcher knife in his hand toward its zombie teeth.

What were once ordinary zombie teeth have now become extraordinary materials.

With the two zombie teeth and fingernails placed together, Chu Sheng then signaled Zhu Qing to release the zombie.

The zombie, now devoid of limbs and teeth, posed no threat whatsoever.

All that could be heard from his mouth was a series of roars.

The survivors who had been observing from afar felt a chill run down their spines.

"Sis, that guy is such a pervert!" A rather thin-looking boy complained to his sister from afar.

"Xiao Jie, don't say things like that!"

"Although I don't know what they're doing or why they're doing this, they must have a reason. The sequence transcendents have all come out. Do you really think they're dissecting the bizarre?"

Wu Meng looked at her younger brother seriously, "This is the end of the world. Think carefully before you speak, and consider the worst possible consequences!"

"If anything unexpected happens in the future, you can live a good life!"

"Sis!" Wu Jie looked at his sister with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by 'accident'? We'll definitely survive!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Meng sighed helplessly, feeling both relieved and saddened.

When the apocalypse came, she happened to be shopping with her younger brother.

After all, younger brothers are just a burden for older sisters.

Unexpectedly, the apocalypse came, and they couldn't even go home; strange things were happening everywhere.

It was only because the two of them realized the situation was bad and drove out of the city that they escaped; otherwise, they would have been dead long ago.

At the same time, she was also somewhat relieved that she was with her younger brother who had just started high school at the time, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Wu Meng felt that her younger brother was still a bit immature, and if she were gone, her brother would probably have a hard time surviving.

Wu Jie was completely unaware of these things, and instead patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, sis, I'll definitely protect you!"

Beside them, Zhou Dun and his two companions were also observing Chu Sheng and the others who were undergoing dissection.

Zhou Dun thought for a moment and then said to the two people beside him, "Wait for me here, I'll be right back."

Without waiting for Li Ling and Li Qian's response, he walked alone toward where Captain Hui and Old Man Li were.

"team leader."

Upon hearing this, Hui turned to look at him, asking in confusion, "Is something the matter?"

Zhou Dun glanced at Chu Sheng, who was disemboweling a zombie, swallowed hard, and asked, "Captain, may I ask what he's doing?"

He pointed at Chu Sheng.

Upon hearing this, Hui glanced at him with a half-smile, then exchanged a look with Old Man Li, a hint of agreement in his eyes.

“Extraordinary materials. Every strange creature has parts that are made of readily available extraordinary materials, which are essential for making sacrificial offerings.”

"They are currently searching for extraordinary materials."

At this point, Hui glanced at him with a slight smile, "If you also have extraordinary materials, you can ask Chu Sheng to help you make sacrificial offerings."

"Ordinary people can also use sacrificial offerings, but there will be a price to pay."

"However, Chu Sheng's fee is one extraordinary material as payment. In other words, you need two extraordinary materials to obtain one offering, and the power of this offering may be very weak or very strong."
