Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Before nodding, Chen Shou glanced at Su Ye discreetly.

Su Ye nodded almost imperceptibly in response.

During his observation, the [Alien] sequence within him had already sensed the two items that exuded a strong, eerie quality.

Whether it's directly absorbing the strange power it contains, or refining and fusing it with other objects, both are viable paths.

Chen Shoucai agreed only after accepting Su Ye's response; otherwise, these temporarily unusable materials wouldn't be worth exchanging for grain.

Seeing that Chen Shou had not raised any objections to the materials themselves, Wu Feng's expression relaxed slightly, knowing that he had passed the first hurdle.

He took a deep breath and gestured for Xu Xin to continue.

Xu Xin carefully took out two more items from the large package.

A metal spear, approximately 1.2 meters long, with an unusually dark blue color throughout, featuring smooth lines and an image resembling bat wings affixed to its body.

The moment it was taken out, the temperature inside the tent dropped several degrees, and a slightly agitated atmosphere permeated everyone who observed it.

The other piece is a dark red lampstand with an antique shape, resembling bronze but not quite. The edge of the lamp has intricate patterns that look like dried bloodstains. The wick is empty, yet it exudes a palpitation that is both burning and thirsty.

"These two are genuine artifacts."

Wu Feng's voice carried a solemn tone, along with a hint of candid helplessness.

"The Frost-Infested Spear" is ranked 2350th on the list of mysterious weapons.

Once activated, it possesses astonishing cold power, capable of freezing and piercing targets and causing continuous erosion.

The price is that the user will suffer from frost poison and frenzy backlash, resulting in frozen limbs, stagnant blood, and an extremely frenzied state.

Without strong reason, one will be affected by the manic state and use it continuously.

This creates a vicious cycle, ultimately leading to death by freezing.

He pointed to the lampstand:

"Burning Blood Lampstand" is ranked 1795th.

The lamp, fueled by the user's blood, can effectively dispel low-level anomalies and deter mid-level ones.

But the consumption...

The brighter the light, the stronger the confrontation, and the faster the blood-draining speed; it is a double-edged sword in desperate situations.

Although these two products are not highly ranked and have significant side effects, their effects are quite good.

After everyone had finished processing the information, Wu Feng gestured to Xu Jiang.

Xu Jiang immediately stood up and spoke:

"Captain Chen, everyone."

While I was waiting, I took a look at your team's vehicles.

It's well-maintained and has a solid foundation.

but……

It seems to lack some in-depth optimization and reinforcement for the complex terrain of the post-apocalyptic world.

My sequence is "Mechanic", currently at Tier 2, and my abilities mainly lie in structural understanding and basic enhancement.

If you agree to the trade, I can conduct a full inspection of your team's vehicles.

The engine, transmission, suspension and other key components were optimized and reinforced to improve reliability and passability.

This is just an extra bit of my own money; I hope it will help increase the amount of food I can get in exchange.

After Xu Jiang finished introducing himself, Wu Feng, without waiting for Chen Shou's response, threw out what he considered to be a more valuable bargaining chip, and said in a deep voice:

"Finally, and this is what we believe is probably the most valuable to Captain Chen and your team."

The first piece of information concerns methods to accelerate sequence boosting.

The method is actually quite simple, yet extremely dangerous: kill the monster when the blood moon's light is at its brightest at midnight.

At that moment, the eerie power will reach its peak, enhanced by the moonlight.

However, the strange power within its body is unusually active, full of corrosive and destructive force, and its ability to recover from its own injuries is reduced to a minimum.

If its body can be completely destroyed at that time, there is about a one in ten chance that its "strange core" will be directly exposed.

Unless killed during the brightest part of the Blood Moon, the core will almost never drop naturally.

The breathing of everyone inside the tent seemed to lighten for a moment.

The bizarre core!

They only knew they wanted to kill the monster.

The first method is to either completely dissipate the opponent's strange power.

The second method involves identifying the core of the strange entity within its body; destroying this core will also eliminate the strange entity.

This is the first time I've ever heard that the Strange Core can be obtained and even enhance Sequence Power.

After letting a few people process the information, Wu Feng continued:

"The core obtained can be absorbed directly, but the process is inefficient."

It needs to resist its erosion and pollution, and there is a risk of being infected and transformed.

It usually takes 5 to 10 of the same level of Mysterious Cores to help an Awakened of the same level advance safely.

If there are individuals with sequence awakenings related to alchemy, pill refining, or medicine making, they can purify and refine the ingredients to create pills or potions.

Then you only need 2 to 5 to advance.

Furthermore, because it has already been purified, there is no risk of contamination or mutation.

"The second piece of information is also about enhancing the power of sequences. Compared to the first one, this one is safer, but it also carries risks."

Within one's own limits, one 'watches' the blood moon.

Awakened beings possess a unique physique, allowing them to resist the direct erosion of the Blood Moon's power for a short period.

If you look away before reaching the limit of erosion and immediately circulate your own sequence power, you may have a chance to slowly wear down the strange power in your body into sequence power and strengthen your origin.

This method is extremely dangerous; improper control can easily lead to excessive erosion, directly transforming it into something bizarre.

"One last piece of information,"

Wu Feng's voice carried a sense of awe.

According to the information we obtained from the remaining information of the "Tianfu Squad", the sequence order is as follows: order 1 to 3 is low order, order 4 to 6 is medium order, and order 7 to 9 is high order.

The gap between each major rank is like an insurmountable chasm, especially the hurdle between rank 3 and rank 4, which is even greater than the gap between ordinary people and awakened beings.

The members of the Tianfu Squad were generally at level 2 or 3, with the strongest among them reaching level 4.

When I was trading goods with them, I saw their Tier 4 expert, which represented a qualitative leap.

Our team's third-tier combat units were completely suppressed in front of them, unable to even make a move.

Furthermore, their vehicle was the "Flying Bat," ranked 15th on the list of magical artifacts, as massive as a mobile fortress.

It contained dwellings that housed the team of 12 awakened individuals and nearly 80 ordinary people.

After he finished speaking, he looked intently at Chen Shou:

"We hope that with this information, along with those two special materials and two mysterious artifacts,..."

In addition, Xu Jiang provided vehicle upgrade services, which we exchanged for enough food to sustain 100 people for 10 days.

After listening, Chen Shou's face did not show much emotion; he simply tapped his fingers lightly on his knee.

After a moment, he looked up, his gaze calm as he looked at Wu Feng, and asked a very practical question:

"Captain Wu, how exactly do you calculate 'food to sustain 10 days'?"

If it means that everyone gets one full meal a day, that's probably unrealistic.

Our food didn't just fall from the sky.

We need a clear, measurable standard.

For example, how many kilograms of staple food per person per day.

Only then can we assess whether what you've offered is worth the price, and specifically how much you can get in return.

Wu Feng understood Chen Shou's words and immediately realized that the other party's convoy had a considerable amount of supplies.

Otherwise, they wouldn't ask how much food each person needs per day; they would simply refuse him.
