Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Wu Feng continued speaking:

"The extreme cold of the 'Frost-Invaded Spear' is too severe; anyone who uses it will be injured, and continuous use is tantamount to suicide."

The "Burning Blood Lampstand" is effective at exorcising evil spirits, but its blood-draining speed is...

Although Kui Zi, as a second-order Titan, recovered quickly enough, right?

But it's useless against those powerful and bizarre creatures!

Before the strange creature could be driven away, Kui Zi collapsed from blood loss.

For us right now, the cost of these two things outweighs the benefits.

Xu Xin picked up the conversation and calmly added:

"Yes, indeed."

The Frost-Infested Spear and the Blood-Burning Lampstand are both very useful, but their conditions for use are too demanding.

Using them to exchange for survival supplies is a way of making the best use of them.

Then add intelligence, compared to these materials and artifacts,

The sequence advancement and progression information are the main focus; I see that the four opponents are all at the first rank.

They probably don't know these things, which is why this information is the most valuable!

Wang Kui counted on his fingers:

"The tortoise shell, the corpse bell, two strange artifacts, plus Xu Jiang's craftsmanship, and intelligence information..."

How much grain can all of these be exchanged for?

"That's what we'll be discussing later."

Wu Feng finished the last bit of food, placed the empty bowl at his feet, and his eyes sharpened.

"Our bottom line is that the food we get must be enough to provide everyone, including the ordinary people on the bus, with two barely enough meals a day to sustain them for at least ten days."

With this ten-day buffer, we can then have the energy to look for the next opportunity.

The strange materials and two mysterious artifacts are the core of our transaction.

If the other party is knowledgeable, they should understand their value.

Especially with treacherous artifacts, even if they have flaws, they are still genuine treacherous artifacts.

Although Zhou Lie still felt a little heartache, he knew this was the only way, and muttered:

"Alright, I'll do as the boss says."

Hopefully, Chen Shou is discerning and not too greedy.

"After the meal, Xu Xin, Xu Jiang, and I went over to have a formal talk."

Wu Feng stood up and dusted himself off.

"Zhou Lie, keep an eye on the house and stay vigilant."

"Kui Zi, you stay with Zhou Lie. Listen to him when necessary, but try your best to stop him from causing trouble."

After they finished eating, Wu Feng, along with Xu Xin and Xu Jiang, carrying a huge bundle, headed towards the conspicuous marching tent in the middle of the riverbank.

Inside the tent, Chen Shou, Su Ye, Lin Wei, and Old Zhao had just finished a delicious meal.

Old Zhao was picking his teeth with a wooden stick, muttering to himself:

"Look at the stuff those people on the other side are pulling out. I doubt they can offer much hard currency to exchange for our grain. It's probably just some junk."

Chen Shou unfolded the map on the table again and looked at it, without even looking up when he heard this:

"That's not necessarily true. I can sense that the other party's sequence level is not low."

I don't believe Wu Feng could raise such a five-person Awakened vehicle team in this kind of world without having some trump card up his sleeve.

The key is whether they're willing to give it up, and whether it's something we need.

Su Ye leaned back in the folding chair, her gaze seemingly fixed on the canvas of the tent, and casually interjected:

"I just took a look at the movements of their convoy."

After they stopped, the car remained running at idle.

The idling sound of those engines was very steady, and...

It was deeper and more powerful than most of the cars in our convoy.

Especially that lead SUV, its sound is even louder than Captain Chen's.

Chen Shou paused slightly as he looked at the map.

Lin Wei's cool gaze flickered as she looked at Su Ye.

Old Zhao scratched his head:

"Engine sound?"

You have such sharp ears, kid?

But what does that prove?

"This means that there may be people in their team who understand cars, or even are skilled at maintenance and modification."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shou sat up straight, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes.

"Old Liu is already a rare talent. My modified armored personnel carrier even had an 8-cylinder engine installed."

If it weren't for the limitations of the engine compartment and cooling system, Lao Liu would have modified it to a 12-cylinder engine for me.

If the other side could upgrade it further, my vehicle could be used as an armored tank.

Just then, Old Liu's hushed voice came from outside the tent:

"Captain, Captain Wu and the other two are here, three of them."

"Please let them in."

Chen Shou responded and gave the people inside the tent a look that said, "Someone's here, keep an eye on things."

The tent flap was lifted, and Wu Feng walked in first, followed by Xu Xin and Xu Jiang.

Wu Feng's gaze swept quickly over the four people inside the tent, lingering briefly on Su Ye before landing on Chen Shou. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:

"Captain Chen, everyone, sorry to bother you."

"I apologize for the intrusion after dinner; shall we seize the time to discuss the transaction?"

Chen Shou pointed to the empty folding stool:

"Captain Wu, you're too kind. Please have a seat."

The tent was quite spacious; there was plenty of room even after seven people sat down. However, the large package on Xu Jiang's back was too conspicuous.

Wu Feng didn't engage in much small talk and went straight to the point, adopting a rather humble attitude:

"Captain Chen, as you can see, we are truly at our wits' end, especially lacking in food."

To show our sincerity, and in order to obtain the life-saving food, we are willing to offer the most valuable things we can currently provide.

He glanced at Xu Xin.

Xu Xin understood and stepped forward to unload the large package from Xu Jiang's back.

They took the contents out and placed them among the group.

The most obvious feature is a huge tortoise shell. The dark red tortoise shell is unusually large, almost taking up a small area of ​​open space. The cracks on its surface are not naturally formed, but rather seem to be the residue left by some kind of force.

Most strikingly, it continuously emitted a tangible, bloody aura, mixed with a chilling sense of erosion and devouring.

It felt as if if you looked at it too much, it would drain away a bit of your life force.

Clearly, this is not an ordinary tortoise shell, but a remnant that carries the strange characteristics of its original owner.

Beside it stood a discreet yet eerie bronze bell, old and mottled, stained with unidentified dirt, its quiet presence exuding an aura of disturbance.

"This is the complete carapace we obtained from a second-tier 'Strange Blood Turtle,' whose abilities are related to 'Blood Devouring' and 'Erosion Infection.'"

Wu Feng's voice rang out in the slightly subdued atmosphere. He pointed to the enormous tortoise shell, his tone tinged with complexity.

"This carapace is incredibly hard, impervious to ordinary swords and blades, and also inherits some of its strange properties."

When people get close to or come into contact with such individuals, they may experience a surge of qi and blood, loss of energy, or even be infected or mutated.

We awakened beings have the resistance to prevent this situation, but we dare not use it lightly.

He then looked at the copper bell:

"This is a drop from the 'Strange Corpse Driver,' called the 'Corpse Bell.' It's not a ghost artifact yet, but it can be activated to some extent."

It has no clapper, but it's filled with energy...

Ideally, the energy should be of a cold or lifeless nature, so that it can vibrate silently.

It emits an inaudible yet powerful and eerie fluctuation that can deter some intangible entities.

Of course, if there are powerful and eerie entities around, it will also anger the other party.

Both of these are special materials obtained after defeating the strange creatures.

I think these things, in the hands of those skilled in fusion and weapon crafting, could be made into some pretty good magical artifacts.

Chen Shou's gaze lingered on the two items for a moment, then he nodded, signaling him to continue.
