Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

That night, the red moon hung in the sky.

Xie Yun slid off the bus in a disheveled state, clutching her stomach, still somewhat frightened as she looked at the quiet suburbs.

"I have an upset stomach... Could the spicy snacks have expired?"

"Don't you check the expiration date when you feed the animals after they wake up?!"

Xie Yun never expected that Su Xing had deliberately let it expire.

She looked around, her face showing some hesitation and fear.

Nighttime is more dangerous than daytime, but she couldn't hold it in any longer. She couldn't relieve herself in the car, and when she asked someone to accompany her, they refused. So she had to come outside the car alone.

"I can't hold it in anymore..."

Xie Yun's expression changed, and she hurriedly scurried into a bush.

Meanwhile, Su Xing was dozing off in the car when a notification sound entered his mind.

Xie Yun got diarrhea from eating expired spicy snacks, negative emotion points +90.

I was jolted awake, all sleepiness vanished.

"Here she comes! This woman really knows how to generate negative emotions!"

"90 points of negative emotion is almost equivalent to a miracle drug!"

She woke up, turned over, and went back to sleep.

However, the surprises were far from over.

About ten minutes later, I heard a notification sound again when I woke up.

Xie Yun got diarrhea from eating expired spicy snacks, negative emotion points +92.

"Good grief, here we go again!"

"Does this woman get negative emotional points every time she has diarrhea?"

I woke up feeling happy, all sleepiness vanished instantly, and I decided to sneak a peek out the window.

Under the moonlight, a figure could be vaguely seen sneaking out of the bus.

After finding a corner, he crouched down and returned to the bus... Half an hour later, he slipped off the bus again...

Xie Yun made countless trips throughout the night.

……

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Su Xing yawned and rubbed his eyes.

He didn't sleep well last night, not because the system was disturbing him, but because he was too excited to sleep all night looking at the notifications that kept popping up!

Xie Yun had diarrhea a total of sixteen times throughout the night.

It provided a full 1,200 points of negative emotion for Su Xing!

Including the previous ones, that's exactly 1,500 points of negative emotions—enough to make you rich overnight!

"With so many emotional points, how should I use them?"

As Su Xing was pondering, Xie Yun stepped off the bus, sporting dark circles under her eyes and disheveled hair.

She looked in the direction of the awakening, and finally walked over.

"Su, Brother Su..."

Xie Yun was in terrible condition; she barely had the strength to speak. Looking at Su Xing in the car, she forced a smile and said in a strained voice.

Su Xing feigned surprise and said:

"Yunyun... what's wrong? Are you sick?"

Seeing Su Xing's surprise, Xie Yun assumed he didn't know the spicy strips were expired, and having nowhere to vent her anger, she could only say:

"Brother Su, next time you give me food... could you please check the expiration date?"

"Those spicy snacks were expired, and I had an upset stomach all night..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xing was immediately filled with shame and worry:

"Huh? How could this happen? I'm so sorry, I don't know either!"

Are you feeling better now?

"Yes, I feel much better now."

Xie Yun rubbed her stomach; she had diarrhea until the early hours of the morning, and in the end, her intestines almost came out.

They even used up two packs of toilet paper, and in the end, they wiped themselves with leaves...

"But it was all worth it. This man gave me spicy snacks yesterday, and today he's giving me instant noodles!"

Thinking of this, Xie Yun felt a little better and looked at Su Xing with longing eyes.

Su Xing also looked at Xie Yun, and the two stared at each other without saying a word.

Just kidding, how could Su Xing not know what this woman is thinking?

Saying a few nice words is one thing, but giving us supplies?

impossible!

Finally, Xie Yun couldn't resist her hunger any longer and spoke up:

"Brother Su~ I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

"No." Su Xing shook his head.

Xie Yun was taken aback, then pointed to Su Yan, who was boiling eggs beside the car, and said:

"What did Su Yan cook?"

"Are you blind? It's an egg that's being boiled."

"I...of course I know it's eggs, so why did you say there was nothing to eat?"

"My food is useful! I can't give it to you!" Su Xing said matter-of-factly.

Xie Yun: ...

It's like you're saying someone's food is useless!

Xie Yun is angry because you rejected her; negative emotions +90.

Xie Yun feels she's been played, negative emotions +96.

Two consecutive notifications have brought the negative emotion reserves of the awakened individual close to the 1,700 mark!

"you……"

Xie Yun was speechless and eventually left. She couldn't understand how the man in front of her could change so quickly, when he had brought her food just yesterday.

On the other side, Su Xing removed the bandage from his palm, revealing a scabbed wound.

After waking up this morning, Su Xing clearly felt much better, and her injuries seemed to have improved significantly.

He peeled the eggs, and casually brought up the control panel. Sure enough, the status bar on the panel changed again:

[Status: Severely injured, weak, moderate external injury (recovering), moderate internal injury (recovering)]

[Positive Emotional Points: 206]

[Negative Emotion Points: 1698]

In just one day, Su Xing's severe internal and external injuries improved to moderate internal and external injuries, and he is still recovering rapidly!

With his current recovery ability, he should be able to recover naturally in less than a month from such an injury.

"Not bad, not bad, those 500 emotion points were definitely worth it!"

I felt much better after waking up.

"It seems that if I heal my injuries as soon as possible, I can enhance other items."

Su Xing happily ate his egg, the morning sunlight streaming through the car window and warming him.

Feeling the halo of the sun, waking up had a dreamlike, unreal feeling.

It was as if the unusual rice paddies and missing people we encountered yesterday had never happened.

Looking at her incessantly chattering younger brother beside her, and the busy people on the bus in the distance, Su Xing couldn't help but murmur:

"As long as you're alive, there's still hope, right?"

Just as I was feeling sentimental, the narration, which had been silent for half a day, suddenly reappeared:

You survived the first day and night of the apocalypse, reaping many rewards, and your injuries are gradually healing.

Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction...

However, anomalies could occur at any time, the external crisis remains unresolved, and a disagreement has arisen between the two extraordinary individuals in the convoy.

Beset by internal and external troubles, you decide to strengthen your self-defense capabilities as quickly as possible.

The sudden notification startled Su Xing.

He sensed yesterday that Hu Dong and Fang Yuan were only superficially friendly.

Hu Dong, that old man, seemed to be very timid; he didn't dare to enter the town to collect the items.

Fang Yuan, however, boldly entered the center of Qingxi Town, even sacrificing several able-bodied men from the convoy, all to find a few pistols.

"It seems those two superhumans aren't on the same page... Let's just hope they don't negatively impact the convoy?"

Su Xing frowned slightly. This caravan of about a hundred people all lived under the protection of two superhumans. If anything went wrong, the entire caravan could be doomed.

This made Su Xing feel a sense of urgency.

"Hmm, it seems I have to prioritize increasing the use of force..."

Su Xing took out the Type 92 pistol that his younger brother had brought back for him.

A thought flickered in his mind, and the image of a pistol came to mind.

[Type 92 pistol: Standard issue pistol, equipped with 9mm ammunition, 15-round magazine capacity, high accuracy and power, muzzle velocity of 340m/s, effective range of 50 meters.]

Without a doubt, this pistol is the most valuable asset the savior possesses besides the off-road vehicle.

In terms of rarity, pistols are even harder to obtain than vehicles.

The fatal flaw is that the gun cannot kill the anomaly.

Therefore, as early as last night, Su Xing tried to upgrade the pistol and obtained some information:

[Upgrade Option 1: Power Amplification - By enhancing the gas system and power system, the weapon's power can be doubled.]

[Required: 500 negative emotion points.]

[Upgrade Option 2: Sustained Enhancement, increasing magazine capacity to 30 rounds.]

[Required: 300 negative emotion points.]

[Upgrade Option 3: Stability Enhancement, significantly improving weapon stability and shooting accuracy...]

[Aspect 4 for enhancement: Increased range...]

Unlike ordinary items, this pistol has many upgrade options, more than ten in total.

However, most of these enhancements only amplify the power of the weapon, which does not align with Su Xing's wishes.

Conventional weapons, even handguns with the power of a Barrett, may not be able to harm the abnormal.

There is only one direction of enhancement that excites Su Xing:

[Upgrade Option 7: Rune Pistol: Completely reforges the gun, granting it extraordinary power to deal with anomalies. However, the intricate rune system inside the gun occupies a significant amount of space, reducing its magazine capacity, stability, and range.]

[Required: 2000 negative emotion points.]
