33: Chapter 33 Lin Wan's Little Thoughts
It seemed that in Zhou Che's heart, her weight was ultimately heavier than that of Captain Liu Ruyan and Ruan Xiaoxiao.
Moreover, in the intimacy just now, she was the one who took the lead.
Lin Wan's brows and eyes were filled with undisguised smiles as she quietly watched the two women, enjoying this unique sense of superiority.
After a brief shock, Ruan Xiaoxiao and Captain Liu Ruyan completely reacted, their hearts instantly flooded with wild joy, trembling with excitement.
They were really going to awaken a second Sequence, and a genuine combat Sequence at that!
From now on, they would no longer be just support types who could only hide behind others and be bullied; they could also possess combat power, protect themselves, and never have to experience the fear like they did this afternoon!
The Zhou Che before them was simply the only light in the apocalypse, the quintessential chosen protagonist; following him, there would always be unimaginable fortunes!
The two women subconsciously hugged Zhou Che's arm tighter, their cheeks pressed against his arm.
Their hearts were full of reliance and anticipation as they began to seriously consider which Sequence to choose.
Zhou Che did not urge them, slowly speaking out the Sequences:
"Lord of the Blood Moon, Demon User Sequence, Beastman Sequence; choose any of the three, they are all top-tier combat Sequences."
They had seen the might of Lin Wan wielding the Lord of the Blood Moon Sequence, and had also seen the ferocity of the Beastman Sequence Transcendent.
Only the Demon User Sequence had never been seen, and they were full of curiosity.
Seeing this, Zhou Che explained simply and directly:
"After awakening the Demon User Sequence, your physical body will surge, strength will double, and your body will be covered in black demonic patterns. It is fierce, domineering, invincible in close combat, and you will not lose your human form."
After listening, the two women calculated in their hearts, and at the same time, they both had the same misgivings.
They were truly resistant to the Beastman Sequence.
That Beastman Sequence Transcendent from the afternoon, after beast-morphing, was half-man and half-beast, with a ferocious face; the look of being neither human nor ghost was simply too terrifying.
They were both women, and from the bottom of their hearts, they feared that after awakening, they would also become that ugly and terrifying shape.
Zhou Che saw through their concerns at a glance, chuckled, and spoke to reassure them:
"Rest assured, the beast-morphed form of the Beastman Sequence is entirely controlled by your own will; you can become whatever you want, it won't beast-morph randomly, and it certainly won't become ugly."
Having received Zhou Che's assurance, the two women completely set their minds at ease and hesitated no longer.
Captain Liu Ruyan thought for a moment and decisively chose: "I choose the Demon User Sequence!"
Ruan Xiaoxiao followed closely behind and said softly: "I choose the Lord of the Blood Moon Sequence!"
Zhou Che nodded without the slightest delay, first raising his hand to touch Captain Liu Ruyan's shoulder, activating his system ability to directly bestow the Demon User Sequence upon her.
Immediately after, he raised his hand to touch Ruan Xiaoxiao's shoulder and bestowed the Lord of the Blood Moon Sequence upon her.
Actually, Zhou Che did not need to be in contact with them to bestow them the Sequences, but Zhou Che still felt that he couldn't do that.
Two completely different combat Sequence powers surged into the two women's bodies, merging with their original Sequences and mutually enhancing each other.
The two women clearly felt an extra surge of powerful combat strength within their bodies; they were full of energy and were no longer the powerless support types they were before.
They had truly become dual-Sequence Transcendents!
In their wild joy, the two women could no longer restrain themselves; they each hugged Zhou Che's head, giving him a peck on the left side and a fierce kiss on the right, their hearts full of gratitude and joy.
Surrounded by the two women, Zhou Che indulged in this unique adoration and tenderness, his heart completely content.
Thus, the awakening slots for the Lord of the Blood Moon Sequence in his hands were completely exhausted.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhiming returned to his own carriage.
As soon as he sat down, his nephew Wang Laowu immediately leaned in, face full of eagerness, handing him water and asking after his well-being, his eyes full of curiosity:
"Uncle, how did it go? What did they talk about at the Bonfire Council? Does The Convoy have any big plans?"
Watching his nephew's eager appearance, Wang Zhiming didn't intend to hide it.
The Convoy was only this big; news couldn't be hidden at all. At most by tomorrow, Mr. Zhou would announce the final candidates, so telling Wang Laowu in advance wouldn't matter.
He lowered his voice and said to Wang Laowu:
"The Council was mainly about one thing—Mr. Zhou intends to promote a group of people from among the ordinary survivors, to awaken Sequences and become Transcendents, so as to improve our The Convoy's overall combat power."
Upon hearing this, Wang Laowu's eyes instantly went round, his breathing became rapid, and he grabbed Wang Zhiming's arm, excitedly asking:
"Really? Uncle, you aren't lying to me, are you? Who are the candidates? Is there any clue?"
I knew Mr. Zhou had the ability to help people become Transcendents.
He dreamed of becoming a Transcendent; in the apocalypse, ordinary people's lives were like blades of grass. Only by becoming a Transcendent could one have a say and be able to survive!
Wang Zhiming stared into Wang Laowu's eyes with a serious expression:
"Do you really want to know now? I'm afraid that if I tell you and tomorrow the result isn't to your liking, you won't be able to handle the blow and will have been happy for nothing."
Once these words were out, Wang Laowu's heart skipped a beat, his heart pounded wildly, and a bold thought instantly surged into his mind.
Could it be? Was he among the candidates?
He clenched his fists, his palms full of cold sweat, suppressing the excitement in his heart, his voice trembling:
"Second Uncle, tell me quickly! No matter what the result is, I can take it!"
Watching his nephew's eager appearance, Wang Zhiming spoke slowly, spitting out three names:
"Sister Zhang, Shen Fei, and you, Wang Laowu."
Boom!
Wang Laowu only felt a thunderclap explode in his brain; he was completely stunned, and then an indescribable wild joy instantly swept through his entire body!
He was really on the candidate list!
He actually had a chance to become a Transcendent!
Wang Laowu trembled with excitement, almost jumping up from his seat on the spot, his mouth curling up uncontrollably.
He wished he could immediately rush off the vehicle and run ten laps around the camp to vent the excitement in his heart.
Seeing this, Wang Zhiming quickly reached out to press him down, lowered his voice, and scolded: "Keep it down! Don't get excited!"
"These are just nominated candidates; in the end, who gets promoted and how many get promoted, it's all up to Mr. Zhou. None of us can make the call!"
"If you are so high-profile now, in case you aren't chosen in the end, the embarrassment is a small matter, but if you incur Mr. Zhou's resentment, it'll be completely over!"
Wang Laowu immediately calmed down, nodding vigorously, desperately suppressing the wild joy in his heart, but his mouth was still curled high, and the excitement in his eyes couldn't be hidden at all.
Even if he was just a candidate, even if there was only a sliver of a chance, it was enough to make him ecstatic!
This was an opportunity to become a Transcendent, a fortune he never dared to even dream of in his life!
Sure enough, not long after, the news that The Convoy was going to promote Transcendents spread completely.
The entire camp instantly exploded; everyone was discussing this matter, and their eyes looking at the three—Shen Fei, Sister Zhang, and Wang Laowu—were full of envy and jealousy.
Transcendents!
Who wouldn't envy them? Who wouldn't desire it?
These three lucky ones were actually able to be favored by Mr. Zhou and had the chance to ascend to the heavens in one step!
The three—Shen Fei, Sister Zhang, and Wang Laowu—were even more excited and didn't sleep a wink all night, tossing and turning in bed, their hearts full of anticipation and anxiety, fearing they would miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
They spent the whole night pondering how to perform so that Mr. Zhou would be satisfied, and how to firmly grasp this opportunity to become a Transcendent.
Early the next morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten.
Zhou Che had Lin Wan blow the assembly whistle, summoning all the survivors to the center of the camp, preparing to announce the final selections for Transcendents.
