83: Chapter 83 Resting the Team

That's so tiring.

He still wanted to lie down every day, drinking cola and eating pre-made meals.

It seems that once the rest is over, he needs to quickly pick a reliable person from the team and bestow the Qi Controller Sequence upon them.

Otherwise, the The Convoy won't be able to operate in the future.

"Mr. Zhou, dinner is ready."

Captain Liu Ruyan walked over carrying a bowl of hot dried fish porridge and handed it to Zhou Che.

"Hmm." Zhou Che took the porridge and took a sip.

The warm porridge slid into his stomach, dispelling the fatigue and chill from his body.

He looked at the busy team members around him and the ordinary survivors laughing and playing by the campfire, feeling an indescribable sense of stability in his heart.

This trip to the mountain city, although extremely dangerous, nearly cost him his life several times.

But all in all, it was a massive profit.

His strength increased, supplies grew, and he even obtained a powerful strange object.

Most importantly, not many people died, at least not for the Dawn Convoy.

Zhou Che finished the porridge and handed the bowl to Captain Liu Ruyan.

"Pass the word down: rest well tonight, and we set off early tomorrow morning."

"We will find a remote place, build a temporary camp, and settle down for a while."

Retreating all the way west, the Dawn Convoy's line stretched longer and longer.

When they finally escaped the danger zone and stopped to take a headcount, even Zhou Che was stunned.

Originally there were over 150 people, but now there were over 200.

The extra dozens of people were all those who, in their panic while retreating, had clung to the Dawn Convoy's vehicles to get on.

It was chaotic at the time, and no one could stop them.

These survivors weren't stupid; they knew exactly which The Convoy was strong and who could lead them to survive.

The Dawn Convoy had flying vehicles, a big shot who could take down anomalies in one move, and plenty of supplies.

If they didn't crowd here, where else would they go?

More people naturally meant benefits.

With more manpower and more people to do the work, building camps and searching for supplies would be easier in the future.

As the team grew, its influence naturally expanded.

But the drawbacks followed.

With over two hundred people gathered together, the aura of the living was as thick as a torch in the dark night.

Anomalies kilometers away could smell them and find their way over.

Zhou Che stood on the hillside, looking at the dense tents below, and shook his head.

It looked like they wouldn't have peaceful days for long, and they would have to continue migrating.

They needed to find a more remote and safer place to settle down.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about using the book of rules to mask everyone's aura.

But after a little thought, he gave up.

Masking a few dozen people was fine, but over two hundred people would consume too much.

If he really wrote a rule like "Full Member Breath Concealment," he estimated he would drop three Sequence levels directly.

Right now, he couldn't afford such a toss for any of his Sequences.

The Pugilist Sequence had just dropped two levels and hadn't been recovered yet.

If it dropped another three levels, would he even have those Sequences anymore?

If the system determined that the Sequence was gone, that would be a huge problem.

Zhou Che stroked his chin, calculating long-term plans in his heart.

Always doing this wasn't a solution.

He wanted to build a floating city.

Floating in the sky, away from the anomalies on the ground, would be much safer.

Unfortunately, the number of wraith cold crystals currently wasn't enough.

He had traded away many of them before, and there were less than a hundred left.

With these cold crystals, plus what the The Convoy was currently equipped with, he could at most build a floating house of three or four hundred square meters.

With over two hundred people squeezed inside, like a tin of sardines, it was uncomfortable just thinking about it.

However, if he couldn't build a big one, he could build a small one first.

Save up bit by bit, expand bit by bit.

Someday, he would be able to build a massive floating city belonging to the Dawn Convoy.

In fact, without Zhou Che saying anything, the people in the The Convoy had already started tinkering on their own.

Zhou Che had long ago instructed Lin Wan to take the Mechanic, Xu Feng, and keep modifying his wuling hongguang.

Now, that vehicle had long since lost its original appearance.

Lengthened and widened, with several layers of steel plates welded on, and two attic levels added.

He had also used some Transcendent materials inside.

Over ten meters long and seven or eight meters wide, some people would even believe it was a mobile prefab house.

The interior had a bedroom, kitchen, and storage room, all fully equipped, making it even more comfortable than a regular house.

The people under him saw it and were incredibly envious.

They flocked to Xu Feng, asking him to modify their vehicles too.

For a time, a wave of modification fever swept through the The Convoy.

Ordinary off-road vehicles and pickup trucks were all converted into mobile RVs of various sizes.

The whole camp looked like a mobile town.

Looking at the growing The Convoy, Zhou Che also discovered a problem.

There weren't enough Transcendents.

Among over two hundred ordinary people, there were only a dozen or so Transcendents.

The ratio was too skewed.

Once they encountered a large-scale anomaly attack, they wouldn't be able to protect everyone.

He had to expand the Transcendent team as soon as possible.

Zhou Che, using the pretext of rewarding merit for this trip to the mountain city, announced a decision.

Every existing Transcendent in the The Convoy could recommend one loyal and reliable person, and he would personally bestow a Transcendent Sequence upon them.

Once this news broke, the entire camp was in an uproar.

A Transcendent Sequence!

That was something ordinary people dreamed of obtaining.

All the Transcendents cheered, grateful to Zhou Che.

Who didn't want a few more capable people under their command?

Who didn't want their relatives and friends to also become Transcendents, so they wouldn't have to be slaughtered like livestock again?

With this move, Zhou Che held everyone's hearts in his palm.

Now, in the entire The Convoy, there was no one who didn't admire Zhou Che, and no one who wasn't willing to risk their lives for him.

The night deepened, and the camp gradually quieted down.

Only the footsteps of the patrol members echoed on the outskirts of the camp.

The three women, Captain Liu Ruyan, Lin Wan, and Ruan Xiaoxiao, arrived at Zhou Che's RV as usual.

After spending this time together, they were no longer reserved.

Each of them was very open.

Especially Lin Wan, who was exceptionally proactive today.

Sometimes Lin Wan even helped push from behind.

After a vigorous and satisfying workout, the few were a bit breathless.

Lin Wan lay on Zhou Che's chest, her fingers tracing circles on his chest, her voice soft and sweet, with a coquettish tone.

"Brother, can you help me awaken a third Sequence?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Captain Liu Ruyan and Ruan Xiaoxiao beside them instantly pricked up their ears.

Their bodies also subconsciously moved closer to Zhou Che.

They wanted it too.

They had only heard of Transcendents possessing three Sequences in legends.

They had never seen a real one.

If only they could become three-Sequence powerhouses, that would be great.

Zhou Che was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

No wonder Lin Wan was so enthusiastic today; it turned out she was waiting for this.

He smiled and pinched Lin Wan's cheek, sensing her physical condition.

Lin Wan was currently a Tier 2 Lord of the Blood Moon and a Tier 2 Mechanic, with both Sequences at Tier 2.

Moreover, the Lord of the Blood Moon Sequence had been constantly strengthening her physical body, and its intensity far exceeded that of ordinary Transcendents.

Bearing a third Sequence was absolutely no problem.

"Fine." Zhou Che scraped her nose and said with a smile,

"Considering how well you performed today, I grant this small request."

"Tell me, which Sequence do you want to awaken?"

"I assign Sequences directly to others, but since you are my woman, you can pick whatever you want."

Lin Wan's eyes lit up, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

She had already thought it through.
