Chapter 56 Other caravans that Captain Xu did not sense
Soon, Zhou Qingya also brought the dishes she had prepared to the table.
The table for the group was roughly shaped by Su Wanyue using her sequence ability to cut off a section of tree trunk.
Zhou Qingya prepared four dishes.
Stir-fried cured pork, steamed dumplings, three bowls of self-heating hot pot, and cooked instant noodles.
Without any hesitation, the group started eating as soon as the dishes were served.
"No, Zhao Hai, you're really fast! You've already grabbed several pieces of cured meat!" Su Wanyue said, immediately picking up her chopsticks and putting more cured meat into the bowl.
Zhao Hai has never tasted cured meat since the apocalypse, so he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to eat it!
"No way, Hai Zi, Su Wanyue, are you two born in the Year of the Monkey?! You only ever grab the cured meat sandwiches, at least leave some for me and your sister-in-law!"
Seeing this, Xu Wenchu quickly picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a few pieces of cured meat, put a few pieces in Zhou Qingya's bowl, and a few pieces in his own.
Seeing that Zhao Hai and Su Wanyue had both launched an "attack" on the cured meat, Wang Hu followed suit.
In just a few bites of their chopsticks, two-thirds of the cured meat in the bowl was gone.
Seeing that so much cured meat had disappeared from the bowl, Wang Changjin and Cao Fang stopped standing there dumbfounded and immediately started eating, afraid that they would run out of meat if they were late.
……
The following afternoon, Xu Wenchu led the group to a relatively remote gas station that was not suspicious.
Zhao Hai and his group were quite lucky; the gas station hadn't been visited yet, and most of the food in the convenience store was still in good condition.
Not only did Zhao Hai and his fellow extraordinary beings collect a lot of good things inside, but many ordinary survivors also collected some supplies.
This includes Gao Ze and a few others.
It must be said that the gas station made a pretty good profit this time.
In addition to many vacuum-packed foods, they also found more than ten barrels of vegetable oil.
Xu Wenchu and his convoy stayed at the gas station for more than four hours before driving away.
It wasn't until midnight that Xu Wenchu and his convoy stopped.
As soon as it was past midnight, after successfully checking in, Zhao Hai immediately opened the system shop.
I clicked the "Make Now" button next to the willow sword.
After Zhao Hai clicked the button, he could feel the willow branch he had been holding immediately disappear.
Then I saw the prompt on the system screen.
[In production! Production time is 18-24 hours! Please wait patiently.]
After seeing the system notification, Zhao Hai didn't think much of it and simply lay down to rest.
The next morning, Xu Wenchu led the convoy on their way again.
The convoy spent the entire day on the road.
The entire convoy moved forward in silence, with only the roar of the engines.
Unexpectedly, as evening approached, just as Xu Wenchu was about to stop and rest...
The sudden appearance of this signifies a situation!
On the road ahead, there were seven or eight different cars parked, along with a bunch of ordinary survivors. Without a doubt, this was another convoy of fleeing people!
"What's going on? Xu the charlatan, you didn't even tell us you were going to run into other convoys!" Su Wanyue's voice rang out from the loudspeaker after spotting the convoy.
"That's right! Captain Xu, you didn't even tell us you were looking for other teams to meet up with!" Zhao Hai's dissatisfied voice came through the loudspeaker.
"When have I ever failed to inform you of the intelligence beforehand! This time, I didn't even discover this convoy!" Hearing the two men's questioning tone, Xu Wenchu spoke up like a wronged child.
"No way! Xu the Charlatan, didn't you advance to Sequence 2? How come you can't even sense this convoy!"
"Why would I lie to you! If I hadn't seen this convoy with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known we would encounter it!" Xu Wenchu's expression was also solemn, and his tone was heavy.
Hearing Xu Wenchu's words, Zhao Hai and the others felt a chill in their hearts!
This is troublesome! Even Xu Wenchu can't sense this caravan, so its strength must be considerable!
Upon seeing the convoy ahead, Xu Wenchu and his group had no choice but to pull over and look ahead warily.
Xu Wenchu and the others were the first to get off the car, frowning as they looked ahead.
"Let's go! Let's check what's going on ahead. If anything changes, we'll just turn around and leave!" Xu Wenchu said solemnly.
Zhao Hai got out of the car, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.
Under the gloomy sky, a dilapidated apartment building stood by the roadside ahead of the convoy. It had a sinister atmosphere and a run-down appearance, looking like a haunted house from before the apocalypse.
The other party also noticed Zhao Hai and his group, and got out of the car.
"The opposing team also has four Sequence Transcendents, but like us, only their leader is Sequence 2, while the others are Sequence 1," Xu Wenchu whispered to Zhao Hai and the others.
Xu Wenchu breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the opposing team's strength was roughly the same as his own.
Firstly, the two sides are roughly equal in strength, so the possibility of a conflict breaking out is not high.
Secondly, since the strength of both teams is roughly the same, the side effect of the two teams' leader sequences meeting due to their awakened sequences does not need to be "implemented".
After all, that kind of side effect is used when there is a gap in strength between the two sides.
"Friends up ahead, my name is Xu Wenchu. I'd like to ask you why you're stuck here and not moving?" Xu Wenchu asked first.
Not long after, the bald man in the suit among the four Transcendent beings, his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse, said, "Hello! My name is Zhou Jian'an. This place... is impassable!"
"This bald man is their leader!" Xu Wenchu whispered to Zhao Hai and the others as the bald man spoke.
"What happened here?" Xu Wenchu asked, frowning.
Zhou Jian'an's gaze was somewhat cold as he said calmly, "We arrived here a day ago, and this is already the third time we've encountered this abandoned apartment building!"
"A ghost wall?"
Su Wanyue's pupils contracted slightly as she asked.
"Similar, but the specifics are unclear." Zhou Jian'an lowered his eyes, his tone heavy: "The first time we drove more than 40 kilometers, and this abandoned apartment building reappeared. Although everyone was a little surprised, they didn't pay much attention and just thought it was a similar building."
"The second time, after driving for more than 30 kilometers, we came across the apartment again, and that's when we realized something was wrong."
"Some people also commented that both the roadside scenery and the roads themselves gave them a strong sense of familiarity, as if... they were constantly going in circles in the same area."
