Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced
Chapter 4 Qingxi Town
Su Xing looked at Guan Jiajia.
This is a spirited young woman with dyed pink hair and a lip piercing. She looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, with fair and delicate skin that looks like it could be squeezed to release moisture. She's wearing a bomber jacket and has a cocky expression.
Seeing Su Xing's gaze sweep over her, Guan Jiajia quickly stood up and said in her Sichuan accent:
"Brother, don't worry! Brother Yan has arranged everything perfectly!"
"I'll vouch for you this noon. As long as I'm still breathing, no one in the convoy will lay a finger on you!"
Su Xing looked at Su Yan with a hint of suspicion, beckoned, and lowered his voice to say:
"You didn't actually go back to your old flame, did you? With those skinny arms and legs, what good would she be if something happened?"
Su Yan shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, and said:
"No way, bro! Almost all the men in the convoy are going into Qingxi Town to search for supplies. How many real men are left behind?"
"Don't let Guan Jiajia's appearance fool you. She used to work as a bouncer, and she has a few girlfriends in the convoy. She's not afraid of anything!"
As he spoke, Su Yan pointed to a few girls not far away.
Su Xing looked in the direction he pointed:
Three young women with dyed yellow hair squatted on the ground, puffing away at a cigarette, taking turns smoking one and not even leaving the cigarette butt behind.
Su Xing figured it would only be two hours, and as long as Su Yan was alright, no one in the convoy would dare to touch him, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, then be careful. It doesn't matter how much supplies you find, but if you encounter anything unusual, run away as fast as you can, and run into the sun."
"We'll talk about everything once my brother has recovered from his injuries."
"Don't worry, bro." Su Yan nodded, opened the trunk, and prepared bags to pack supplies later.
Su Xing could see the thriving green rice paddies on both sides of the country road through the windshield of the car.
A green "GG" sign stands on one side of the rural road, with a line of large characters written on it:
"Qingxi Town - a national demonstration town for rice-crab farming".
There were quite a few people standing in groups of three or five under the huge GG sign, probably more than thirty.
Whether carrying bags or burlap sacks, they all looked nervously toward Qingxi Town.
The convoy dared not drive into the town, as the roar of the cars could easily attract attention from the restricted area, so they could only stop a few hundred meters outside the town.
At this moment, two men, one old and one young, got out of the SUV at the front.
The young man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and dressed impeccably, was none other than the extraordinary Fang Yuan.
The other elderly man looked to be in his fifties, dressed like a farmer, with a bandage wrapped around his left hand.
Su Xing remembered that the old man was another superhuman in the convoy, named Hu Dong.
Hu Dong whispered a few words in Fang Yuan's ear, and seeing that Fang Yuan was unmoved, he got into the car himself.
Fang Yuan straightened his collar, walked to the middle of the crowd, and called out:
"There are two grain stores and one supermarket in this town. How much supplies you can move depends on your abilities!"
"It's 12:30 PM now, we only have one and a half hours to collect the data!"
"No matter how much supplies you find, you must be back at the convoy by 2 PM!"
"Don't miss out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than thirty people entered the town in batches.
"Brother, I'm going too," Su Yan said in a muffled voice.
Su Xing opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, and simply nodded:
"be safe."
The convoy consisted of about a hundred people, some of whom were single and had no family ties, but most were families with children, either husband and wife or father and son or brothers.
Su Xing saw his wife with red eyes seeing him off into town.
Everyone knows that venturing into restricted areas to collect supplies can be fatal.
Anomalies tend to roam densely populated areas. In a town like Qingxi, which had tens of thousands of people before the apocalypse, there must have been many anomalies roaming around the town center.
Compared to those big cities, Qingxi Town is considered safe.
But casualties are unavoidable.
Those who stayed behind and didn't enter the town kept their eyes fixed on the town's direction, praying that it was someone else who died, not their own relatives or friends.
Su Xing watched his younger brother's departing figure. The autumn wind whistled into the car, giving him goosebumps.
Su Xing rolled up the car window and remained silent.
The convoy initially set off from a coastal city in the southernmost part of the country, where it is hot all year round.
For more than a month, they traveled north, covering more than 2,000 kilometers. The faces in the convoy changed constantly, and they had now reached the southern part of Anhui Province.
In November, the weather in the Jiangnan water towns is getting colder and the wind is strong.
Guan Jiajia was wearing a thin coat, and her fair ankles were showing through her loafers. She was shivering from the cold.
But she still stood by the car with professionalism, glancing around from time to time with a slightly wary look in her eyes.
"This girl is quite capable."
Su Xing saw this but didn't call Guan Jiajia into the car.
About half an hour after Su Yan entered the town, Xie Yun got off the bus and walked straight toward the awakened jeep.
Before they even got close to the car, Guan Jiajia stopped Xie Yun, looking wary.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Xie Yun looked Guan Jiajia up and down, and said with a hint of disdain:
"Who are you? What does my being in Brother Su's car have to do with you?"
As she spoke, Xie Yun tried to approach the car door.
Seeing this, Guan Jiajia shoved Xie Yun and said arrogantly:
"Damn it! Didn't you even bother to find out what kind of gang your sister Jia is involved in?"
"Brother Yan told me to watch the car before he left, specifically to keep out thieves like you!"
Xie Yun was pushed and lost her balance, falling to the ground with a thud.
She got up, her eyes filled with anger, and shouted:
"Thief? Who are you calling a thief?"
"Who in the convoy doesn't know about my relationship with Brother Su? Do I need to steal what I want?"
"And what about your manners? You're obviously uneducated, always hitting people!"
Xie Yun deliberately raised her voice, and soon several people crawled out of the bus to watch the commotion.
"Hmph, everyone knows who the thief is!"
Guan Jiajia was not intimidated at all. She gave a look, and several young women with dyed yellow hair gathered around her from a distance.
Seeing that things were going badly, Xie Yun tried to sneak away, but Guan Jiajia grabbed her hair.
"You thief, you stole something and you think you can just run away?"
"Who's the thief! You're the one who stole things!"
They started arguing after a few words, and the two grabbed each other's hair and wouldn't let go.
The onlookers nearby, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, even shouted:
"Fight! Let's fight!"
The doomsday scenario, which had lasted for over a month, had clearly left everyone feeling incredibly depressed. Seeing two beautiful women fighting at this moment provided a welcome respite from the oppression.
Su Xing sat in the car, thought for a moment, then rolled down the window and frowned, saying:
"Stop! Everyone stop!"
"Guan Jiajia, let him go first."
Hearing the sugar daddy speak, Guan Jiajia finally relented, but before letting go, she didn't forget to give Xie Yun's hair a good tug.
Xie Yun had clearly dressed up before coming; she had powdered her face and applied lipstick.
But now her hair is all messed up, making her look like a crazy woman.
Upon seeing Su Xing in the car, Xie Yun was first taken aback, then pouted, her eyes brimming with tears, and said:
"Brother Su~ That's great! You're alive!"
"You have no idea how worried they've been these past few days!"
"Someone heard you were awake and wanted to come see you. But some punk girl came out of nowhere and hit me, and wouldn't let me get close, boohoo..."
"Brother Su, she's bullying me!"
Xie Yun tried to look cute with a wronged expression, but her smudged makeup and messy hair made her look ridiculous no matter how you looked at it.
Guan Jiajia pouted, still maintaining her arrogant demeanor.
"Alright!"
Su Xing felt disgusted at the thought that the woman who had been so devoted to him wanted to burn him to ashes.
So he waved his hand, interrupting:
"Guan Jiajia was hired by my brother to protect me! It's understandable that she attacked you if you approached so rashly..."
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
"Brother Su..." Xie Yun hesitated, sensing that something was wrong with Su Xing.
In the past, Su Xing would have definitely scolded Guan Jiajia, and then called her into the car with a look of heartache.
Xie Yun's expression changed slightly, thinking that Su Xing was probably still angry because she almost died while helping her catch fish.
So her tone softened a bit, and she said in a coquettish voice:
"Brother Su~ Please let her get in the car first~"
"It's too cold outside, people want to get in the car and chat with you."
After saying that, Xie Yun gave Guan Jiajia a provocative look, thinking that Su Xing would soon invite her into the car.
However, Su Xing merely glanced at her indifferently and said:
"Let's talk here. The car smells bad, so don't come up."
Xie Yun stood frozen in place, her face full of embarrassment. She remembered how Su Xing had invited her into the car before, and how she had always complained about Su Yan's smelly feet.
[Xie Yun is angry because you rejected her, negative emotion points +72]
Guan Jiajia is happy because you confronted Xie Yun, positive emotion points +28.
"Um?"
Two notification sounds in a row made Su Xing feel slightly happy. He suddenly remembered that Xie Yun was a good tool for generating negative emotion points.
Those two hundred-plus points of negative emotion were all contributed by Xie Yun.
Thinking of this, Su Xing's lips curled up, and he retorted:
"Xie Yun, you can leave now if you have nothing else to do!"
"Guan Jiajia, see the guests out!"
Xie Yun feels neglected, negative emotion points +69
Guan Jiajia felt very relieved, positive emotional points +31.
"Alright!" Guan Jiajia glanced triumphantly at Xie Yun and prepared to chase her away.
Xie Yun, not having gotten what she wanted, was unwilling to leave and quickly said:
"Brother Su~ I know you're still angry."
"After you recover, they'll apologize to you in person."
As she spoke, Xie Yun tossed her hair, bit her lip, and looked pitiful.
Su Xing used to be completely swayed by Xie Yun's charms, but now that he knows what kind of person she is, he remains unmoved and simply says with a mocking expression:
"Oh? How are you going to apologize?"
Xie Yun was taken aback for a moment, then pretended to be shy and said, "Oh, come on, let's talk about it when you're healed~"
Su Xing sneered inwardly. In the past, this woman always had a haughty look on her face and never gave him a kind look.
She knew that Su Xing's injuries wouldn't heal quickly, so this was just wishful thinking!
He didn't eat the pancake after waking up; he just stared coldly at Xie Yun.
Xie Yun then revealed her true intentions, looking at Su Xing with hopeful eyes, and said:
"Brother Su~ I haven't eaten all day, I'm so hungry..."
"Um... could you lend me some food like you used to?"
"As long as we escape to Kyoto, I'll return all the food to you..."
Su Xing then remembered that the woman had always asked him for food before, claiming she was "borrowing" it and promising to return it after the apocalypse.
Of course, Xie Yun didn't really want to pay it back; she just said it to show that she was an "independent woman" and that she could put herself and Su Xing on an equal footing.
Su Xing could only sneer at this.
Is a bottle of water in the desert the same as a regular bottle of water?
They even said they'd return the food after the apocalypse ended. How can that be the same thing?
Despite feeling nauseous, Su Xing decided to squeeze every last bit of emotional energy out of Xie Yun.
Then his tone suddenly softened, and he said:
"Oh? What kind of food do you want to borrow this time?"
