Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

The convoy drove on the asphalt road, the tree branches on both sides bare and covered with a layer of white frost.

Before sunset, the convoy stopped on a patch of uneven ground.

Several people got off the bus, and after a quick clean-up, they started a fire to cook.

Su Xing climbed out of the jeep, lit a cigarette, and the smoke he exhaled seemed to freeze into frost. He stamped his feet to keep warm.

"Wow, it's so cold outside!"

"We're still in Anhui Province; anyone who didn't know better would think we were in Northeast China!"

Three days have passed since the Crab-faced Man incident.

The convoy made frequent stops and turns, and although it didn't travel very far, it was fortunate that it was safe and sound for the past three days.

Road signs on the highway not far away indicated that the convoy was still in central Anhui Province, roughly within the territory of Luzhou.

It's only the end of November, and the temperature is already almost minus ten degrees Celsius.

Su Yan turned off the air conditioner, got out of the car, and quickly closed the car door, afraid that the warm air inside the car would escape.

"Who can argue with that!"

"I heard the heating on the bus has been completely turned off. At this rate, we'll freeze to death even if we don't starve..."

Su Yan rubbed his hands together, a hint of worry in his eyes, and said:

"Brother, we're almost out of gas. The car will break down in two days at most..."

"knew!"

Su Xing stubbed out his cigarette and walked towards the bus, saying:

"Let's try our luck and see if we can still get some gasoline."

He figured the chances were slim, since the buses had even turned off their air conditioning, which meant the fleet was indeed running out of gasoline.

Su Xing was very glad that he had changed the gas tank before, which improved the Jeep's fuel efficiency.

Otherwise, the car would have broken down long ago, and he and Su Yan would have moved to the bus.

As soon as Su Xing got on the bus, he couldn't help but pinch his nose.

"This smell is awful!"

Su Xing looked around and saw that the bus was crammed with more than sixty people, with the doors and windows tightly closed and no ventilation at all.

Everyone's face was ashen, and they were wrapped in warm clothes or blankets, shivering.

Even inside the car, the temperature probably doesn't exceed zero degrees Celsius.

Dozens of people don't shower, and the smell of farts, body odor, and bad breath lingers... the stench is unbearable.

"Ugh, bro, I can't take it anymore..."

Even a rough man like Su Yan couldn't stand it and hurriedly got out of the car.

Su Xing looked around and saw Xie Yun covering her mouth and nose, huddled in a corner, trembling.

Upon seeing that she had awoke, Xie Yun's eyes lit up slightly, and she stood up as if she wanted to say something.

Su Xing glanced at her, said nothing, and got out of the car.

[Negative emotions from Xie Yun +90]

Su Xing smiled and said to his younger brother beside him:

"Let's go find Captain Hu and ask him."

Captain Hu was smoking in his car with the air conditioning on, the air conditioning swirling around him.

After learning the reason for Su Xing's visit, Captain Hu invited him into the car and said with a frown:

"Xiao Su, do you need to change your gasoline?"

"I do have some gasoline here, but I don't recommend you change it."

"First, you probably don't have many supplies left, so you won't be able to exchange them for much..."

"Secondly, our convoy will soon arrive at a gas station, then we won't be short of gasoline!"

Captain Hu considered Su Xing a potential superhuman, so he was relatively polite to him. In the past few days, Su Xing had occasionally come to Captain Hu to ask about the convoy's situation.

After hearing Captain Hu's words, Su Xing rolled his eyes and said:

"Come on, Uncle Hu!"

"You said a couple of days ago that we were almost at a gas station, and here we are?"

"Two days have passed, and I still haven't run into a single gas station!"

"If this continues, the entire convoy will have to walk, let alone drive!"

Su Xing's words revealed a strong disbelief.

Captain Hu became somewhat anxious after hearing this and said:

"This time it's for real! We should arrive at a gas station by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!"

"If you don't believe me, I can give you half a barrel of gasoline, but you'll need at least 20 kilograms of grain or equivalent supplies!"

Half a barrel of oil and twenty pounds of grain?

Su Xing felt a pain in his gums. He shook his head repeatedly, half-believing and half-doubting:

"Really? We'll find a gas station by tomorrow afternoon!"

"Definitely! If we don't refuel soon, everyone in the convoy will freeze to death!"

Captain Hu spoke with certainty, then sighed and said:

"Xiao Su, you have the potential to become a superhuman, I won't hide it from you anymore."

"Actually, we've passed quite a few gas stations in the past three days, the closest one being only three kilometers away from the convoy."

"But I don't dare to go refuel, do you know why?"

Su Xing narrowed his eyes and tentatively asked, "Because of...the anomaly?"

"That's right!"

Captain Hu nodded, looking worried:

"Sigh, you have no idea, ever since I awakened this Guide profession, I've felt an unusual threat every single second!"

"I can't even sleep well at night!"

"I know better than anyone where something is wrong!"

"In three days, we passed seven gas stations, but each one gave me a very dangerous feeling."

"Only the gas station we're going to tomorrow is relatively safe... I led the convoy on a roundabout route for a day and a half just to find it!"

Hearing Captain Hu say this, Su Xing finally believed him to some extent.

No wonder Captain Hu is so timid; it's the price of the extraordinary sequence!

What is the price for the mechanic?

Fang Yuan looked perfectly normal.

"Thanks for the reminder, Captain Hu!"

After chatting with Captain Hu for a couple more minutes, Uncle Zhang's voice came from not far away:

"Dinner's ready! Everyone, grab your bowls and chopsticks!"

Su Xing and her younger brother exchanged a glance, then quickly grabbed their bowls and chopsticks and went to line up for their meal.

It's cold today; if you wait in line even a little longer, you'll have to eat cold food.

Uncle Zhang stood at the door of the bus, with a large pot beside him.

It was one of those big iron pots used for soup in the school cafeteria, and it was filled with more than half a bucket of noodle paste.

The survivors were all wrapped up like dumplings, wearing hoodies over T-shirts, and jackets over hoodies, as if they wanted to wear all their clothes on.

"Come on, one at a time!"

"Everyone behave yourselves! No cutting in line!"

Uncle Zhang stared, his tone icy.

At mealtimes, Uncle Zhang's words in the convoy are the most effective.

He held a large iron ladle and, without even looking, precisely scooped a spoonful of batter into the bowl.

Everyone's bowl contained only bland, tasteless porridge. Occasionally, someone would accidentally scoop a piece of meat into their bowl, and Uncle Zhang would deftly flip the spoon and return the meat to the pot, much to the chagrin of the survivors in line.

Those practiced movements didn't resemble those of a hotel chef; they were more like those of a cafeteria worker serving meals.

"Hello, Uncle Zhang!"

Su Xing handed over the bowl and called out with a grin.

"Oh, it's Xiao Su!"

When Uncle Zhang saw that it was Su Xing and his brother, his tone became more amiable. He scooped a large spoonful of noodles for the two brothers, and even added a few wild vegetables and two pieces of meat.

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the survivors around them, Su Xing and Su Yan carried their noodles onto the bus.

Everyone knows this is unfair, but no one dares to say anything.

In the motorcade, the extraordinary are kings.

Even if Su Xing is only suspected of awakening to the extraordinary, it doesn't stop Uncle Zhang from giving Su Xing special training and taking the opportunity to befriend him.

"Brother, you're so awesome!"

Su Yan, holding a large bowl of noodles, quietly gave a thumbs up.

"Just eat yours!" Su Xing rolled her eyes with a laugh.

Since three days ago, news of the awakening of a suspected superhuman has spread like wildfire.

Every night, Su Xing gets an extra two pieces of meat when eating communal meals.

Even the small loaves of bread I received in the morning were fresher than everyone else's.

That's what you call privilege.

As Su Xing ate the hot dumpling soup, she felt much warmer.

During the meal, a burning gaze swept over Su Xing from the corner.

It's Xie Yun!

Su Xing noticed, but ignored her.

When Su Xing finished eating and was about to return to the jeep, Xie Yun chased after him.

"Su, Brother Su~" Xie Yun looked at Su Xing with longing eyes and called out sweetly.

"Um, is there something you need?"

Su Xing lit a cigarette after his meal and asked coldly.

In the past few days, Xie Yun tried to talk to Su Xing a lot, but Su Xing treated her coldly every time.

Su Xing was surprised to discover for the first time that the goddess the original owner had been fawning over for three years was actually such a shameless person.

Of course, in order to gain more emotional points, Su Xing didn't completely rule out the possibility, always giving Xie Yun the feeling that there was a chance.

"Brother Su... Zhi, I was wrong about what happened before. I shouldn't have treated you that way!"

"I'll change and treat you better in the future!"

Xie Yun mustered her courage to apologize, her small hand grasping Su Xing's arm, her eyes still filled with expectation as she looked at him.

She was still fantasizing that she would be forgiven when she woke up.

Then Xie Yun could become the woman of an extraordinary person.

"Oh?"

Su Xing coldly shook off Xie Yun's hand and said with interest:

"Xie Yun, we don't seem to be that close, do we?"

Xie Yun's negative emotions increased by 60.

Xie Yun was momentarily speechless, but still gritted her teeth and said:

"Brother Su, who in the caravan doesn't know about our past relationship?"

"Can't we...can we really go back to the way things were?"

As Xie Yun spoke, her eyes reddened. Her exquisite, bright eyes were indeed pitiful to behold.

"Tsk tsk... No wonder this woman was so infatuated with the original owner of this body, she certainly has some assets..."

Su Xing sighed inwardly.

Despite my disgust, I have to admit that this woman is quite attractive, more than ten times prettier than those beautiful internet celebrities on Douyin.

And this woman stayed in the car the whole time, yet she didn't smell bad.

Unlike the other survivors, their hair was not matted or greasy.

Su Xing saw Xie Yun go to the river to fetch a bucket of cold water to wash her hair this morning, her little hands were red from the cold.

"They do have some methods, but unfortunately they're useless against me."

Su Xing thought to himself, then continued coldly:

"Relationship? Ha... what kind of relationship could we possibly have?"

"Even if there is a relationship, it's a debtor-creditor relationship!"

"You still owe me two boxes of instant noodles, ten boxes of self-heating hot pot, ham sausages, eggs, vegetables..."

"Well, you 'borrowed' all these supplies from me, right?"

"If you can return it, I might consider it!"

Su Xing sneered. He knew Xie Yun couldn't possibly produce these supplies, so she was deliberately keeping him in suspense.

Sure enough, Xie Yun's eyes widened upon hearing this, a mixture of disbelief and anticipation in her expression.

"What kind of man are you? Why should you expect something back after you've given it away?"

"But... what if? What if after I return, Su Xing changes her mind and treats me better?"

"Times have changed; Su Xing is now an extraordinary being..."

This is probably Xie Yun's psychological journey.

She hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but move closer to Su Xing. A faint fragrance wafted over her, and even thick clothes couldn't hide her alluring figure.

Xie Yun raised her beautiful face, somewhat shyly saying:

"Brother Su... I borrowed the supplies, they will definitely return them!"

"If you don't believe me, I can write you an IOU!"

"But, can't we repay in other ways? I saw many young girls getting into the SUVs in the convoy..."

"Um, don't get me wrong! I haven't contacted anyone else... but if it were you..."

The tenderness in Xie Yun's eyes was almost overflowing, and she said firmly:

"But if it's you... I'd be willing!"
