35: Chapter 35: All Three Candidates Selected

"The third one, Wang Laowu!"

This voice, like a thunderclap, jolted Wang Laowu out of his despair!

Wang Laowu's eyes widened sharply, his face full of disbelief. Thinking he had misheard, he stood frozen in place, unable to move.

He... he had been selected?

Mr. Zhou had actually chosen him?!

The next second, an extreme ecstasy instantly overwhelmed his reason. He trembled with excitement, his legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

He wanted to walk quickly to Zhou Che, just like Shen Fei and Sister Zhang, to solemnly pledge his loyalty.

But his legs simply wouldn't listen, his steps were unsteady, and he moved as if sliding across the floor, looking incredibly disheveled.

Zhou Che saw his excitement and bewilderment at a glance. He raised his hand with a gentle wave, using the power of his Sequence to steadily support him and straighten his posture.

Once Wang Laowu stood steady, he looked at Zhou Che before him. His lips trembled with excitement, and he couldn't manage a complete sentence for a long time. His eyes were red, and tears welled up in them.

He had never dreamed that Mr. Zhou would actually promote all three candidates!

Zhou Che didn't waste words. He reached out and patted Wang Laowu on the shoulder, directly bestowing the Beastman Sequence upon him.

The surging power of the Beastman Sequence poured into Wang Laowu's body.

He clearly felt his physical body, strength, and speed all skyrocket. He had completely awakened a Transcendent Sequence!

Zhou Che spoke calmly: "In the future, join the Armament Department and train under Lin Wan. Do your work well and don't let me down."

Only then did Wang Laowu snap out of it. With a thud, he knelt on one knee, bowed heavily to Zhou Che, his voice choked with emotion and filled with gratitude:

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou! Thank you, Mr. Zhou! Your subordinate Wang Laowu will surely follow Mr. Zhou's lead, go through fire and water, and never hesitate! In this life, I swear to serve Mr. Zhou until death!"

Zhou Che nodded slightly, signaling him to stand up and move to the side.

With this, The Convoy added three new Transcendent individuals at once. Added to the existing Transcendents, the Transcendent combat power of the Dawn Convoy had directly doubled!

All the survivors present watched this scene, their hearts filled with shock and awe. The way they looked at Zhou Che turned completely into fanatical faith.

Casually allowing someone to awaken a Sequence—this heaven-defying method and this magnanimous spirit could not be found in anyone else but Zhou Che!

Following such a boss, they finally had hope for survival in this apocalypse, and something to look forward to!

Zhou Che looked at the increasingly powerful lineup of The Convoy, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

With the Transcendents in place, it was time to remove the barrier of The Desert, set off for the Mountain City, and go see those top ten top-tier strange objects!

Zhou Che stood in front of the crowd, watching the three newly promoted Transcendents with a cold eye. Seeing them all trembling with excitement and red-eyed, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Becoming a Transcendent is like ascending to the heavens in a single step; who wouldn't be excited?

Lin Wan, Captain Liu Ruyan, and Ruan Xiaoxiao beside him—when they first awakened their Sequences, which one of them wasn't filled with wild joy?

He understood the minds of these people too well.

Excitement is excitement, but as long as he could keep these people in his grasp and make them loyally serve him and The Convoy, that was enough.

He couldn't be bothered with other superficial things.

With the matter of promoting Transcendents settled, Zhou Che didn't want to handle the subsequent miscellaneous tasks at all.

Although he was the true person in power of The Convoy, on the surface, the acting captain of The Convoy had always been Captain Liu Ruyan. These tasks of organizing and dispatching were best left to her.

Zhou Che stepped back, making room for Captain Liu Ruyan, and calmly signaled: "You arrange the following matters."

Captain Liu Ruyan nodded, stepped forward, and walked in front of everyone. Her voice was clear as she directly announced the final decision:

"Everyone listen up, our next destination is the Mountain City!"

"Go back and pack your luggage and supplies. We will depart on time in one hour and continue the migration!"

"Those who are late or cannot keep up with the team will be abandoned directly; The Convoy will not wait for anyone!"

Once these words were spoken, the area cleared instantly. No one dared to complain; everyone ran to their vehicles in a panic.

In the apocalypse, being abandoned by The Convoy and left alone in the wilderness was no different from a death sentence.

Either you get torn apart by anomalies or looted by other convoys; there was simply no way to survive.

Whether it was the newly awakened Transcendents or the ordinary survivors.

Everyone packed their things quickly and efficiently, moving their remaining supplies and dry rations onto the vehicles, fearing that if they were a step too slow, they would be left behind in this desolate place.

In just one hour, all vehicles were assembled, neatly lined up in a row. No one dared to drag their feet.

Seeing that the team was properly assembled, Zhou Che moved his mind and directly removed the barrier effect of the strange object heaven and earth.

The Desert illusion that had shrouded The Convoy for several days instantly dissipated without a trace. Sunlight poured down, and the surrounding wilderness highway reappeared.

The Dawn Convoy moved straight along the highway towards the Mountain City.

Zhou Che's modified RV drove steadily at the very front to clear the way. The vehicle body had been repaired, and its performance had returned to its peak.

Following closely behind were the vehicles of the Transcendents such as Lin Wan, Luo Xi, Shen Fei, Sister Zhang, and Wang Zhiming. At the very back were the old vehicles of the ordinary survivors.

The formation of The Convoy was orderly; compared to its previously scattered appearance, it already had the prototype of a formal force.

But this stability didn't last long.

The Convoy had been trapped in The Desert for two days, and the fuel consumption of the vehicles was already huge. Driving all the way here, the fuel gauges of every vehicle had turned red, and it looked like they were about to hit bottom.

Many vehicles had already started sputtering, their power dropping sharply, and they could stall and break down at any moment.

Captain Liu Ruyan sat in the passenger seat with a grave expression, operating the power of her Pathfinder Sequence.

She closed her eyes, fine beads of sweat seeping from her forehead, perceiving the surrounding environment with all her might, searching for a place to stop and replenish fuel and supplies.

After driving forward for half a day, Captain Liu Ruyan suddenly opened her eyes, a flash of joy in them.

She had finally found a suitable supply point; not far ahead was a service area.

But this joy was fleeting.

She operated her Sequence again, carefully perceiving the aura inside the service area, and her face instantly turned pale.

Inside, a powerful anomaly was lurking, its aura heavy and oppressive, far exceeding the limit of what The Convoy could handle at its current stage!

But right now, The Convoy had reached the point of exhaustion.

If they didn't replenish fuel, most of the vehicles would completely lose power. By then, the hundreds of ordinary survivors would only be able to migrate on foot.

In this apocalypse, walking on foot could not keep up with the pace of The Convoy.

Captain Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and focused her perception again. The aura of the anomaly was steady; it was clearly in a deep sleep and showed no signs of waking up.

The risk was huge, but The Convoy had no way back; they had to gamble!

She immediately drove to the front, pulled up alongside Zhou Che's RV, rolled down the window, and urgently explained the situation at the service area in detail.

"Mr. Zhou, there is a service area ahead where we can replenish fuel and supplies. But there is a powerful anomaly inside. However, it looks like it is in a deep sleep. If we are careful and act quickly, we should be able to get the supplies and leave."
