Chapter 21 Don't Try to Save the Chapter
Xu Si sat on the open ground next to the knife, seemingly resting, but in reality, all his attention was focused on the "super knife" that was covered by the curtains.
In my mind, the upgrade countdown beat as rhythmically as a heartbeat.
Vehicle upgrade time remaining: 00:02:17
……
Vehicle upgrade time remaining: 00:00:01
Upgrade complete!
Almost the instant the notification sound ended, Xu Si jumped up and strode to his car.
Judging from their outlines, it's already clear that these are two vehicles.
Super Knife is only two-wheeled, but this car has three wheels when it is lifted.
He took a deep breath and reached out to pull back the heavy curtains.
Even though he was mentally prepared, the sight before him still made him gasp for breath.
His old electric scooter had disappeared, replaced by a steel vehicle with a post-apocalyptic punk style!
The main body of the vehicle is still based on an electric vehicle, but the frame has been significantly thickened and reinforced, and has a cold, hard metallic sheen.
Most notably, the rear of the vehicle features a large, sturdy metal cargo box that replaces the original delivery box.
Even better, there's a rain shelter in front of the driver's seat.
The vehicle's frame is very similar to that of pre-apocalyptic delivery trucks, but it is more stylish and sophisticated, with a glossy black body that looks like it just came off an assembly line.
However, judging from its display screen, it is still a hybrid electric vehicle, so it hasn't been downgraded.
This can no longer be considered a super small knife; it's at least a top-tier small knife.
This purification point was well spent!
Xu Si stroked the car body from top to bottom, clearly quite fond of it!
"You're not delivering takeout anymore, you've switched to delivering packages?" The little girl's voice came out at an inopportune moment, her eyes darting around the car and clicking her tongue in amazement.
Xu Si didn't even look up, focusing intently on stroking the cool metal body, feeling its solid and reliable texture.
"What do you know? This is called strategic upgrade. From now on, your pickup truck will be nothing but dust in front of my knife."
"Uncle, what's going on? Can you teach me? I want to upgrade Little Pi too."
Jiao Jiao circled the tricycle, tapped the thick steel plate of the cargo bed, and looked at the simple but obviously sturdy rain cover, her eyes filled with surprise and envy.
The others in the camp had already noticed the unusual situation.
Especially when she saw that Xu Si's electric scooter had been turned into a tricycle, she immediately showed a look of envy.
Is this the magic of the Sequence Transcendence?
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this a miracle before the end of the world.
Yan Feifei, who was considering whether to try to make contact again, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The gap between the extraordinary and the ordinary is simply too difficult to bridge.
Her gaze fell upon the numb or miserable women who had been rescued from the service area, and a chill ran down her spine.
Especially when she thought about how the person who was talking to her yesterday was almost torn to pieces by that black wolf today, she trembled uncontrollably.
Perhaps one day she will end up like them, either becoming a plaything of the extraordinary or a bizarre food source.
……
Watching Xu Si easily load all the supplies onto the truck, Jiao Jiao stomped her foot in anger. She felt a little embarrassed, remembering that she had previously tried to exchange helping him carry supplies for tissues.
"Hmph! What's so great about it! It's just a tricycle! I'll shake your butt off!"
"Hmph..." The little girl stormed off in a huff.
Xu Si clapped his hands, looking at the cargo box that was packed full with satisfaction, and a sense of unprecedented peace of mind welled up inside him.
He got into the driver's seat, and the dashboard lights up immediately, without even needing to start the engine.
The power system was ready instantly, and a sense of security came from beneath me.
The fuel tank is a bit small, only a little over 10 liters, and the battery capacity is also not large. The pedal function has also been removed.
Oh right, didn't he just bring back a 20-liter oil drum? Upgrading the tank shouldn't be a problem, right? They're both for storing oil, there's no reason why they can't be upgraded.
Upgrading the fuel tank requires 60 purification points. The current fuel tank capacity is 12 liters, and the estimated capacity after the upgrade is 30 liters.
Estimated time: 1 minute
[Upgrade?]
"Upgrade it! Upgrade it all at once! And don't steal any of my gasoline!"
He wanted to go all out, but unfortunately there were no other oil barrels left, otherwise he would have gone all in.
However, his purification points have also shrunk to exactly 300.
Xu Si sensed that the structure of the fuel tank beneath him seemed to have undergone a subtle change, with its capacity quietly increasing.
The oil level indicator on the dial changed instantly. The indicator that was almost full now only occupied less than half, but the actual oil level did not decrease; it just increased.
"That feels much better." Xu Si was satisfied; the purification points he had spent were well worth it.
Unfortunately, the truck bed is still too small. The next step is to upgrade it to be bigger so that he can sleep in the truck. It seems that the plan to collect sheet metal will have to continue.
Even if it's not used to upgrade the cargo bed, it's good for strengthening the vehicle's structure.
As night deepened, the campsite gradually quieted down, with only the crackling of the campfire and the sound of Su Su punching the wind in the distance.
Even Xu Si, who was quite far away, could hear the fierce gusts of wind from the punches.
This woman has gone mad; she started boxing as soon as the supplies were distributed.
Perhaps the scene at the service area had such a profound impact on her that she set a goal for herself.
He throws 10,000 punches a day and won't sleep until he finishes.
Perhaps this is her method of advancing her sequence. Xu Si did not slack off, lying on the top of the top-tier knife cart, gazing at the starry sky.
He discovered that the Stargazer sequence could be improved not only by observing the Blood Sun, but also by observing other stars.
However, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
With the spiritual energy barrier provided by the spiritualist, safety is still guaranteed.
It was still early in the night, and Su Su had already finished her boxing match and gone back to sleep.
The campfire had burned out. Xu Si, who was lying on the roof of the car, felt a strange movement and opened his eyes, which were filled with a blood-red light.
Not far away, a frail figure stepped off the bus and slowly walked into the mist, followed by another person.
He didn't say anything to dissuade them, and today he discovered that the two people on the bus had given up all hope.
He chose to respect it.
In the end times, he cannot deprive ordinary people of the only way to control their own destiny.
Just like the radio broadcast said: Don't try to salvage the situation.
The night was as dark as ink, so thick it seemed like it would never dissolve even after ten thousand years.
Xu Si lay on the roof of the car, his blood-red star-like eyes appearing like two faint flames in the darkness.
He didn't move; not even the frequency of his breathing or the rhythm of his heartbeat changed.
……
"Young Master"
Inside the Mengshi vehicle, Fu Xiaojian and the old butler were still awake.
"Ignore it, just rest!"
He now needs to think about how to soothe the little guy in the back seat tomorrow morning.
Although they were strangers before, they have been together since the apocalypse began, so they must have developed feelings for each other.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have continued to activate the psionic barrier to protect the people on the bus after his grandfather's death.
