Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

"The rune pistol... can deal with anomalies!"

A longing rose within him as he awoke; this was exactly the equipment he needed.

Although he had only been in the world for a day, the memories in his mind told him that in the apocalypse, the chances of survival for ordinary people were extremely low.

Even if he owned a Jeep, and even if Su Yan was physically strong, he would still be powerless to resist if he encountered an anomaly head-on.

In his memory, shortly after fleeing Binhai City, he witnessed a fully armed police squad surrounding and suppressing an anomaly.

Despite being bombarded with bullets, the monster remained unharmed, and the final result was the complete annihilation of the fully armed squad!

In the apocalypse, the kill threshold is the same for ordinary people, regardless of their wealth or status.

Only by becoming extraordinary or mastering extraordinary power can one fundamentally change their situation and increase their chances of survival.

"Although I'm still clueless about becoming a superhuman, having this rune pistol at least gives me some fighting power..."

"The only problem is, two thousand emotion points is a lot..."

Su Xing licked his lips. Although Xie Yun had contributed a lot of emotional points to him last night, he still only had 1700 negative emotional points, which was still a considerable distance from 2000 points.

Moreover, he needs enhanced medication to speed up the recovery from his injuries.

"Looks like we need to get more emotionally charged as soon as possible."

He slowly nibbled on the egg in his hand, knowing that sufficient protein intake would help his injuries heal faster.

He looked at the two buses not far away.

It is known that emotional triggers arise from the emotional changes experienced by others when they are aroused.

So the hundred or so people in this convoy are the best source of emotional stimulation for Su Xing.

The key question is, how do we extract emotional appeal from these people?

"Hmm... Under the pressure of the apocalypse, everyone's mind and emotions are very tense."

"To gain a large number of emotional points, all you need to do is wait for the right opportunity..."

Su Xing pondered silently, only to find that everyone had gotten off the bus and gathered in the open space, while the extraordinary Fang Yuan stood directly in front, talking animatedly about something.

"Um?"

Su Xing's brow twitched, recalling the hint from the narrator earlier, and he gave Su Yan a look, saying:

"Huozi, go and see what's going on."

"Okay, bro."

Su Yan nodded and walked towards the crowd.

Su Xing then spent another two hundred negative emotion points to enhance two special medicines.

Although his condition has now stabilized, the special medicine will undoubtedly accelerate his recovery.

In this perilous apocalypse, time is life; recovering even a day earlier increases the chances of survival.

Thinking of this, Su Xing took out the medicine that Su Yan had brought back yesterday and selected a 50g tube of burn ointment.

A thought flickered in his mind, and a line of information appeared on the burn ointment.

[Hua Brand Burn Ointment (Extra Strength): Can be used to treat burns, scalds, and infected external wounds.]

[Enhancement Direction 1: Significantly enhance the treatment effects for external injuries and wound infections.]

[Required: 200 points of negative emotion.]

[Strengthening Direction 2...]

After a moment's thought, Su Xing spent 200 points of negative emotions and chose to strengthen direction 1.

Ten minutes later, a tube of ointment appeared in his hand.

Su Xing carefully unwrapped the bandages, revealing a large, gruesome wound on her skin.

Even though the movement was very slight, it still made him wince in pain.

"Ouch...that really hurts!"

Su Xing gritted his teeth and applied the ointment evenly to the wound.

There were two gruesome wounds on his back and abdomen, winding upwards like two lightning bolts, all the way to his neck.

In addition, there were burns of varying degrees on his limbs.

"Thank goodness my face wasn't hit, otherwise I would have been disfigured..."

Su Xing found a way to cheer himself up, gritted his teeth, applied some medicine, put on new bandages, and wrapped them around again.

Soon, a cool, tingling sensation spread across my skin, as if the pain had been greatly reduced.

This ointment is truly amazing!

Unfortunately, because it needs to be applied to a large area, one tube of ointment can only be used twice.

"Yes, my body has indeed recovered a lot since yesterday. At least I can change my dressings by myself now, but it's still a bit difficult for me to stand and walk..."

Su Xing put away the ointment, looked up and saw Su Yan silently sitting back in the passenger seat, so he asked:

"Hikaru, what just happened?"

Su Yan's face darkened, and he couldn't help but complain:

"Brother, we really can't stay in this caravan anymore!"

"Guess what Fang Yuan said?"

He said all survivors should hand over all the supplies they've collected, and then distribute them uniformly!

"They even had the high-sounding excuse of helping everyone in the convoy survive."

"Why should I?! I collected all those supplies myself through hard work. Those cowards on the bus didn't dare to go into the restricted area to collect supplies themselves, so why should I share them with them?"

"Damn! So what if you're a superhuman? You're disgusting!"

Su Yan grew angrier as he spoke, and slammed his fist on the steering wheel with a dull thud.

Su Xing also frowned as he listened.

Average distribution?

This would have been difficult to achieve even in the old days, let alone in this apocalyptic world where resources are scarce and life is uncertain.

Is Fang Yuan an idiot? Doesn't he know how much turmoil this will cause in the convoy?

Su Xing didn't think that Fang Yuan, who could become the student council president, would be a simple-minded fool.

Therefore, there must be a deeper reason behind this.

"That's right, it's homesickness!"

"Lone wolves who leave the team suffer from homesickness, gradually forgetting themselves, and even forgetting everything!"

"Fang Yuan is absolutely certain that the people in those SUVs wouldn't dare leave alone..."

"And yesterday, Fang Yuan found at least five or six handguns in Qingxi Town... He has absolute armed force..."

"This isn't about achieving equality; it's about establishing absolute power! He wants to be the emperor of the motorcade!"

Su Xing was horrified when he thought about it. Once the convoy's supplies were handed over to the authorities, how much supplies each person would receive would be entirely up to the superhumans.

With Fang Yuan possessing military power and others gathering supplies for him, his chances of survival in the apocalypse would be greatly increased.

Not only that, but the lazy people, women, children and the elderly on those buses will also support Fang Yuan.

After all, who wouldn't want free food?

Fang Yuan won over both the hearts of the people and the resources—truly killing two birds with one stone!

The only ones who suffered losses were people like Su Yan, who had the ability to bring out large quantities of supplies from the restricted area.

But so what if we suffer losses?

Do these ordinary people dare to oppose superhumans?

Su Xing looked at the indignant Su Yan beside him, thought for a moment, and asked:

"Huozi, is that what Fang Yuan said? What's Captain Hu's attitude?"

"Captain Hu?" Su Yan scratched his head and shook his head, saying, "I don't know. I didn't see Captain Hu. He sat in the SUV the whole time and didn't come out to make a statement."

really!

Upon hearing this, Su Xing roughly guessed that it was the disagreement between the extraordinary individuals mentioned earlier in the narration.

According to Su Xing's observation, Hu Dong was an old man who was very afraid of death and only wanted to protect himself.

Fang Yuan, on the other hand, is a very ambitious person who wants to take the opportunity to gather a group of subordinates and have his own power in the apocalypse.

This way, even if Fang Yuan arrives at the Fire Shelter in the future, he will still have considerable influence.

The question is, can this fragile team withstand such changes?

Su Xing had no answer in his heart.

At this moment, several figures walked towards the jeep, with the leader being the extraordinary Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan stood a few meters away from the jeep, his hair still neatly combed, a smile always on his face. He nodded to the survivors who passed by from time to time, looking extremely friendly.

Boom boom boom!

Two young men with blond hair, dressed like thugs, pounded on the car window, cigarettes dangling from their mouths, and said in an unfriendly tone:

"Su Yan, hand over half of the supplies in the car right now!"

"Captain Fang has spoken: starting today, everyone must hand over half of their supplies to the convoy!"

Su Yan rolled down the car window, glared at her, and cursed:

"Do you fucking want to die?"

"I gathered this convoy through my own abilities, why should I hand it over?"

The two men were intimidated by Su Yan's fierce appearance and took a half step back. Glancing at Fang Yuan not far away, they felt a surge of confidence and sneered:

"Su Yan, are you going to hand it over or not?"

"That's the team's rule! If you don't want to stay, pack your things and get out now!"

"Ha, I'd like to see how many days you can survive without the convoy."

The two blond-haired men were extremely smug. They lived in the bus, and although they occasionally went out to collect supplies, they didn't starve to death, but they didn't live as comfortably as the people in the off-road vehicle.

For example, when they met Su Yan before, they always addressed him as "Brother Yan".

But things are different now. They've sided with the superhumans and suddenly become the managers of the caravan, showing the true colors of petty people who have achieved their goals.

Su Yan, with his fiery temper, was furious that the two men who had once been so respectful now dared to take advantage of him. He immediately flung open the car door and yelled:

"Damn it, I don't know if I'll live or die... but I can kill you right now, believe it or not?"

Just as Su Yan was about to make a move, Su Xing, who was in the back seat of the car, spoke up:

"Hikari!"

Hearing Su Xing's reminder, Su Yan barely suppressed his anger, but showed no intention of distributing the supplies.

Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Fang Yuan slowly approached the car, frowning as he said:

"What are you two doing?"

"We sent you to collect supplies to ensure the safety of the convoy! And you two, are you treating this like a robbery?"

Fang Yuan glanced coldly at the two blond-haired men, his words implying that he was going to protect Su Yan.

After giving his two underlings a thorough dressing-down, Fang Yuan finally managed a smile and said to Su Yan:

"Brother Su, don't be angry. These two have misunderstood me."

"Brother Su, you're strong and agile, so you certainly don't lack food and drink. But our caravan is a team!"

"You're still young, you can naturally gather supplies, but there are too many women, children, and the elderly in the convoy. I couldn't bear to see them starve to death, so I resorted to this desperate measure..."

Fang Yuan's tone was noticeably gentler, carrying a hint of admonition.

Su Yan's expression improved considerably after hearing this, but he still had no intention of giving away half of the supplies.

Su Xing looked out the car window and saw a group of people with sallow complexions standing not far away, observing the jeep. The greed and desire in their eyes were almost undisguised.

Su Xing felt a chill run down his spine. He knew these people were the ones in the convoy who were starving and could starve to death at any moment.

The new rules that Fang Yuan formulated for the team are most beneficial to this group of people!

If Su Xing refused to share the supplies, he had no doubt that these people would swarm him and rob him like madmen.

Almost everyone in the convoy knew that, apart from the two superhumans, the Su brothers had the most supplies.

If half of the supplies are not allocated.

Even if Su Yan is a formidable fighter, he'll likely face the wrath of the masses and end up in serious trouble.

Thinking of this, Su Xing spoke up:

"Captain Fang is right! As a member of the team, it's our duty to contribute!"

"Huozi, go open the trunk and divide up half of our food!"

"Brother!" Su Yan panicked immediately upon hearing this, still stubbornly believing that these supplies should not be distributed.

"Hurry up and go!" Su Xing didn't explain, but glared at Su Yan. Only then did Su Yan reluctantly get up and open the trunk.

The two blond-haired men immediately grinned smugly and followed Su Yan to collect supplies, their voices occasionally drifting over:

"Holy crap, this guy surnamed Su has way too many supplies!"

"Goodness, there are still two unopened bags of noodles... and more than a whole box of instant noodles!"

Soon, the sound of supplies being unloaded from the truck could be heard. Seeing that half of the supplies he had painstakingly collected were being divided up, Su Yan clenched his fists, looking like he wanted to kill someone.

Su Xing pursed her lips, looked out the window, and forced a smile:

"Captain Fang is really going all out for the convoy!"

Fang Yuan looked at Su Xing with slight surprise and said:

"You've woken up? I can't believe you actually survived!"

Fang Yuan knew how serious Su Xing's injuries were when he was struck by lightning, and that he was unlikely to survive. However, he never expected that Su Xing would be alive and well after only three or four days, and that he would look quite healthy.

"Just lucky," Su Xing laughed.

Fang Yuan nodded and said:

"Speaking of which, we're all students at Binhai University. We should help each other in this apocalypse!"

"I've seen you cooperate with the convoy and hand over half of the supplies."

"The road ahead is still long. If you need any supplies or your vehicle breaks down, you can contact me for repairs."

After a pause, Fang Yuan continued:

"By the way, Su Yan has a gun, but it's only good against people, not against monsters!"

"I can use my abilities to help you modify this gun into a 'strange object' capable of dealing with anomalies. Of course, this will require a lot of resources..."

Su Xing was taken aback for a moment, then looked flattered and said:

"Then we'll have to rely on Captain Fang's guidance from now on!"

Fang Yuan nodded slightly, said nothing more, and left with two subordinates carrying rice and flour and buckets of oil.

Fang Yuan is very satisfied with your sensible nature; positive emotion points +23.

Su Xing remained quietly in the car until the others had walked away, at which point his expression gradually turned grim.

"Ha, superhumans... how impressive!"
