Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

When she woke up, she was surprised to find that it was already seven o'clock in the morning.

After encountering the crab-faced man, the convoy drove straight for five or six hours without stopping.

Apart from Captain Hu, the rest of the convoy didn't know where to escape to and just silently followed Hu Dong as they sped along the highway.

Fortunately, they survived the anomaly.

"Rune Pistol..."

Su Xing quickly picked up the pistol and examined it closely. Having just experienced a life-or-death situation, he was extremely insecure.

The appearance of the pistol has changed dramatically.

Pale blue lines emerged from the jet-black gun body, graceful and fluid.

At the end is an ancient rune resembling a six-pointed star, exuding a mysterious aesthetic.

The muzzle became thicker and the magazine shorter, making it barely able to be held in one hand, but the overall weight of the gun remained almost unchanged.

"So, this is the rune pistol?"

Su Xing murmured, his mind sinking as a line of information appeared in his mind.

[Anomaly: Unstable Rune Pistol]

[Number: 17928]

[Description: A pistol engraved with faint runic power, weighing 1.27kg, with a six-round magazine capacity, an effective range of 30 meters, and capable of inflicting effective damage on abnormalities.]

[Ability 1: Firearms Apprentice: Anyone who handles this gun will acquire basic firearms shooting knowledge, equivalent to a beginner with three years of shooting experience.]

[Ability 2: Rune Bullets: Can be equipped with three types of bullets: fire, armor-piercing, and silver (which can damage spirit-type abnormalities). The position of the bullets in the magazine can be controlled by mental focus while firing.]

[Cost 1: The person wielding this gun will develop a primal urge to shoot, and each shot will cause a psychological shock to the wielder.]

[Cost 2: Note that the nascent runic power is still unstable; each shot carries the risk of exploding.]

Su Xing gripped the gun and indeed felt very familiar with it, feeling that he could accurately hit the target within thirty meters.

At the same time, a desire to fire a shot welled up inside him, and he couldn't wait to try it out.

But once the gun was put down, the urge to fire disappeared.

"Phew... Is this the wonder?"

"Truly amazing! Although I don't know its power, simply holding it can create a psychological suggestion for the holder..."

"But what the heck is there a chance the barrel will explode with every shot?!"

"Should I kill the anomaly or commit suicide?"

Su Xing couldn't help but complain.

As expected, you get what you pay for. But with only two thousand emotion points, it's good enough to deal with the anomalies.

He had heard people in the caravan say that every strange object, and even every extraordinary being, comes with a price to pay while possessing extraordinary power.

The greater the extraordinary power, the greater the price!

"Number 17928... Is this the ranking of the rune pistol? It doesn't look very high..."

"I wonder what the mental impact described in the price is like?"

Su Xing played with the rune pistol for a while.

He didn't intend to test the gun, after all, such things come at a price.

It should only be used when an anomaly or crisis occurs.

"Well, it would be best if I never had to use this gun again..."

Su Xing removed the magazine and found it empty, which aroused his suspicion.

How do I fire a gun when it's out of bullets?

"Could it be that these rune bullets also need to be upgraded?"

Su Xing's face darkened, and he took out the bullets from the Type 92 pistol he had used before.

My eyes were fixed on the 9mm bullet, and sure enough, a notification appeared.

[9mm bullets, can be upgraded.]

[Enhancement Direction 1: Basic Flame Rune Bullet, a rune bullet with fire-type damage, capable of dealing damage to most status ailments.]

[Requirement: 100 negative emotion points.]

[Enhancement Direction 1: Basic Armor-Piercing Rune Shot, a rune shot with an armor-piercing effect, effective against defensive status ailments.]

[Requirement: 100 negative emotion points.]

[Enhancement Direction 1: Silver Rune Bullet, with exorcism effect, can damage spirit-type abnormalities.]

[Requirement: 200 negative emotion points.]

"Damn it, they're such a money-grubber!"

Su Xing complained.

"Two fire rounds, two armor-piercing rounds, and two more silver rounds..."

Su Xing reluctantly chose to enhance his abilities.

After spending 800 emotion points to enhance six bullets, the negative emotion points that had been awakened were reduced to just over 400.

"It's expensive, but you can't skimp on life-saving equipment!"

He awoke and comforted himself.

After putting away the pistol, Su Xing got out of the car and smoked a cigarette.

Seeing dozens of survivors gathered around a bus in the distance, I couldn't help but go over.

Uncle Zhang, the convoy's cook, was leading a few people to distribute food to the survivors.

A small piece of biscuit, or a small piece of bread.

Some people clutched the biscuits tightly, their eyes reddening, as if they were still shaken by the ordeal.

Someone hastily ate a biscuit, then pulled out a half-smoked cigarette from his pocket and squatted by the roadside, puffing on it.

Several women wept bitterly, then silently touched a few pieces of men's clothing, dug a hole by the roadside, and hastily buried them.

Their men died in the previous battle with the crab-faced people, and they didn't even dare to retrieve their bodies, so they could only erect a cenotaph.

Those small, slightly raised mounds of earth by the roadside are the last lingering attachments of the survivors to the dead in the apocalypse.

Su Xing also received a small piece of bread, also from the Panpan brand, but the date wasn't very fresh; it would expire in a few days.

Su Xing didn't mind at all. After unpacking the package, she chewed it in small bites while listening to the conversations around her.

"Twenty-three are dead! Only 78 people remain in the convoy!"

"Wang's husband also died at the hands of that monster, his body snapped in two by a crab's claws..."

"There's only one bus left, and there are over sixty people. How are we going to squeeze them all in?"

"I heard we lost a lot of supplies. Will we even have dinner tonight?"

Su Xing listened silently. Most of the 23 dead were young men, men who dared to use knives and sticks to stop the monster.

After this ordeal, it will be even more difficult for the convoy to collect supplies.

"Brother Su!"

Just then, Guan Jiajia's figure appeared behind Su Xing. The girl still had that arrogant expression, but she looked a bit disheveled.

Upon seeing an acquaintance, Su Xing offered him a cigarette and said with a smile:

"Jiajia, she's still alive!"

Guan Jiajia took the cigarette without hesitation, took two puffs, and then handed it to her friend next to her. The two of them took turns smoking it.

"Hehe, I'm really tough! When I saw that things were going badly, I didn't even pack my supplies and just jumped into bus number 2." Guan Jiajia said with some pride.

Su Xing nodded slightly. In the apocalypse, life is the most important thing, and supplies can be given up if necessary.

Looking behind Guan Jiajia, Su Xing asked in confusion:

"Why are there only the two of you left? Where's the girl?"

Su Xing remembered that Guan Jiajia was accompanied by a girl named Youyou, who had dyed yellow hair and had a dimple on her left cheek when she smiled.

Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Guan Jiajia's smile froze. She didn't speak, but simply pursed her lips and shook her head.

Su Xing immediately realized that the girl named Youyou had probably died at the hands of the crab-faced man.

When I first met Guan Jiajia, she was accompanied by three people.

Yiyi disappeared in the rice paddy, Youyou died at the hands of the crab-faced man, leaving only the girl named Chen Li.

However, in the apocalypse, this situation is so common that people have developed resistance to it.

Su Xing remained silent and did not speak.

At this moment, a figure walked towards Su Xing; it was Hu Dong, an extraordinary individual.

Captain Hu glanced at Su Xing and smiled:

"Awakened, right?"

"Were you the one who reminded everyone over the walkie-talkie at night?"

"Thanks to you, if it weren't for your reminder, probably even more people in the convoy would have died!"

[Positive emotional points from Hu Dong +90]

A notification sounded in his mind, and Su Xing smiled and said:

"Of course, I just happened to get up to use the restroom in the middle of the night and noticed that those people were acting strangely..."

Captain Hu shook his head and said:

"It wasn't just a coincidence, was it? You were the one who reminded Xiao Fang of the crab-faced man's weakness, weren't you?"

"I remember the sound was coming from the direction of your car."

Su Xing looked slightly surprised, but didn't deny it; he just nodded.

He hadn't expected the scene to be so chaotic, yet Hu Dong had noticed it all.

The surrounding survivors were drawn to the conversation between the two, and some quietly leaned over to listen. Prompts kept coming into his mind as he awoke.

[Positive Emotional Points from Zhang Chao +36]

[Negative emotional points from Li Wu +28]

【…】

A continuous stream of emotion point notifications sounded, totaling fifty or sixty.

Both positive and negative emotions were present.

Most people are grateful for the awakening, feeling that it was the timely reminder that saved them and reduced casualties.

As for the people who were generating negative emotions, Su Xing had a pretty good idea of ​​them. They were probably complaining that Su Xing hadn't warned them sooner, which led to their family members dying at the hands of the supernatural.

In the apocalypse, such extreme emotions are perfectly normal.

Su Xing didn't care what these people thought; he only cared about the ever-increasing emotional points, and he was overjoyed.

"Wow, in just this short time, I've already gained almost two thousand emotion points?"
