30: Chapter 30 The Way Old Wang's Family Came From

Since then, of their once-large family, only the uncle and nephew remained, relying on each other to survive in the apocalypse.

After the apocalypse, Wang Laowu relied on a reckless, death-defying ferocity to make a small name for himself among the ordinary survivors.

He gained a bit of influence, and thanks to this, he didn't let Wang Zhiming suffer too much.

Seeing Wang Zhiming get into the car, Wang Laowu immediately leaned in, asking with a curious face:

"Uncle, why did Mr. Zhou call you over? Did something happen?"

Wang Zhiming glanced around, lowered his voice, and told Wang Laowu everything that had just happened.

Wang Zhiming knew that the power structure would soon become known to everyone, so he didn't hide anything from Wang Laowu.

"Mr. Zhou called me over to set up the power framework for The Convoy. The rules for The Convoy have been established now, and a decentralized management system is being implemented."

"The Armament Department, Logistics Department, Decision-Making Department, and others will each perform their own duties. I am now a member of the Decision-Making Department, and I will be able to participate in discussions regarding major matters of The Convoy in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wang Laowu's eyes widened instantly, his face full of wild joy, and he was so excited he nearly jumped up from his seat.

The Decision-Making Department! That was the most core department in The Convoy!

His own uncle had actually become a core decision-maker for The Convoy!

Wang Laowu was trembling with excitement, wishing he could rush out of the car immediately and shout to everyone, "My uncle is in the Decision-Making Department!"

Seeing this, Wang Zhiming quickly reached out to press him down, signaling him to calm down, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't get excited, keep your cool!"

"The power system has just been established, the two convoys haven't fully merged yet, and the situation is still unstable."

"Mr. Zhou can keep things under control, but everything has a transition period. If you are this high-profile now, it's easy to bring trouble upon yourself."

Listening to his uncle's sophisticated yet reasonable words, Wang Laowu instantly calmed down and nodded repeatedly.

He had listened to this uncle since he was a child; his uncle was knowledgeable and handled things reliably, so he never argued with him.

After calming down, Wang Laowu began to calculate in his mind.

His uncle had become a member of the Decision-Making Department, and as his own nephew, he would definitely benefit in the future.

Perhaps he could even land an official position, and he wouldn't have to live in fear like he did now.

Just as Wang Laowu was secretly rejoicing, Wang Zhiming lowered his voice again, leaned into his ear, and revealed an even more earth-shattering piece of news.

"There is one more thing. I have awakened a Transcendent Sequence; it is the Illusionist Sequence."

Boom!

Wang Laowu was stunned on the spot for a moment, his eyes glazed over, his face full of disbelief, and his mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg.

Awakened a Sequence?!

That was something he didn't even dare to dream of!

He realized that everyone who had been called over by Mr. Zhou had inexplicably awakened a Transcendent Sequence, and all of them had become superior beings!

My uncle actually awakened one too!

Wang Laowu was both shocked and delighted, and a strong desire ignited in his heart instantly.

Since his uncle could be granted a Sequence by Mr. Zhou, if he worked hard for Mr. Zhou and performed meritorious deeds, would he also have a chance to awaken a Transcendent Sequence?

Even if he didn't have a chance for now, his own uncle was a Transcendent and a core member of the Decision-Making Department; who would dare to bully him easily in the future?

Wang Laowu clenched his fists, his eyes firm, and he secretly made up his mind.

From now on, he would follow Mr. Zhou wholeheartedly, work hard to earn merit, and perhaps he would also get the chance to awaken a Sequence and live a decent life in this apocalypse.

...

Zhou Che stared at his modified beloved car, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, and his heart felt absolutely terrible.

The hood of the car had been blasted with a large hole by the red light of an strange object; the internal gears and parts were exposed, and the oil stains mixed with rust looked particularly distressing.

The back of the carriage had been pierced right through, and the wind and sand were whistling into the car.

The front windshield was completely shattered and gone, leaving only the bare metal window frame.

The fuel gauge on the dashboard was completely black, the air conditioning compressor was totally ruined, and it couldn't even blow a hint of cool air.

This was the vehicle he had modified bit by bit with all his might in the apocalypse, accompanying him through countless horrors, only to be smashed to pieces by that bunch of trash led by Chen Fei.

He was so angry that his teeth itched, and he cursed in his heart: "If I had known, I shouldn't have let those scumbags die so quickly; I should have tortured them properly to relieve this hatred in my heart!"

But now that things had come to this, cursing was useless; the car couldn't be driven without repairs.

Zhou Che squatted by the car, frowning and pondering where to start the repairs, when a sudden flash of inspiration hit him, and he slapped his forehead hard.

Damn! Am I a total idiot?!

I have the Mechanic Sequence and the system; why do I have to do this dirty and tiring manual labor myself?

Why not just grant the Mechanic Sequence to someone else and let them fix the car?

He was now the leader of The Convoy, possessing Transcendent strength, yet he was still foolishly slogging away repairing the car himself. His brain must have been kicked by a donkey before; he had wasted so much time doing manual labor for nothing—a total sucker!

Realizing this, Zhou Che immediately stood up, shouted towards the camp, and called Lin Wan over.

Lin Wan ran over quickly, her eyes full of awe as she looked at Zhou Che, and her tone was respectful: "Mr. Zhou, what do you need?"

Zhou Che looked up and said bluntly: "Is there anyone in The Convoy who is dexterous and can work diligently? Or... would you like to awaken another Sequence?"

Lin Wan didn't react at first, still pondering in her heart about helping Zhou Che pick a survivor who could do manual labor and was obedient and sensible.

But the second half of the sentence hit her like a hammer, leaving her brain stunned, her whole body frozen on the spot, her eyes full of disbelief, and she even thought she had misheard.

Awaken another Sequence?!

She had been struggling in the apocalypse for so long and had never heard of anyone being able to awaken a dual Sequence!

A single Transcendent Sequence was already a heaven-favored talent in the apocalypse, a stroke of fortune that countless ordinary people might not be able to touch even if they risked their lives. How many people spent their whole lives as mere ordinary survivors who were bullied by others?

Zhou Che could actually let her awaken a second Sequence?!

Lin Wan's heart was pounding, her whole body was burning, and the look she gave Zhou Che was instantly filled with fanaticism and piety, even tinged with a hint of worship.

She had always known that Zhou Che's methods were heaven-defying and that he could casually help people awaken Sequences, which was already a god-like ability.

Now that he could actually help people awaken a dual Sequence, this was simply not something a mortal could do!

The Zhou Che in front of her was the chosen protagonist of the apocalypse, the one who could lead them to defy fate and gain a foothold in the apocalypse!

Lin Wan didn't hesitate at all; she was trembling with excitement, nodding frantically, her voice trembling, and her tone was incredibly earnest:

"I am willing! Mr. Zhou, I am willing! No matter what you ask me to do, I am willing!"

Zhou Che watched her extreme fanaticism and muttered to himself, wondering if there were any side effects to granting someone a dual Sequence; he hoped he wouldn't drive the girl crazy and make a mess he couldn't clean up later.

On second thought, if she knew that he could even let people awaken three Sequences, wouldn't she go completely crazy and lose her composure on the spot?

Forget it, no need to think so much. First, get rid of this manual labor, enjoy the life of a leader, and there's no need to repair the car himself and suffer for no reason.
