90: Chapter 90 Temperature Drop

The camp doctor ran back and forth, brows furrowed tightly.

If the temperature keeps dropping like this, we won't even need to wait for the anomalies; colds and fevers alone will take down a huge number of people.

Several children were crying loudly from the cold, and the adults could only hold them tightly in their arms, using their own body heat to keep them warm.

These were the people without winter clothing.

The entire camp was shrouded in a stifling chill.

"Mr. Zhou, you're finally up."

Captain Liu Ruyan walked over holding a thickened military overcoat and draped it over Zhou Che.

"The temperature is dropping too fast, and the cold medicine in The Convoy is almost gone.

Most of the ordinary survivors only have thin clothing; if they hold out for another two days, people will definitely freeze to death."

Mr. Zhou nodded, his expression grave.

He knew he couldn't wait any longer.

He had to collect winter supplies as soon as possible.

"Good morning, Zhou Che!"

Wang Zhiming had been waiting nearby for a long time; seeing Zhou Che, he trotted over to greet him.

His face was filled with undisguisable excitement and anticipation.

"This is the list of supply collection points and route planning I compiled last night. Please take a look."

Zhou Che took the documents and leaned against the car to flip through them.

The more he read, the more satisfied he became.

This document was done in such detail.

It was so detailed that it even marked which floor of Hongfan Plaza sold men's clothing and which floor sold children's clothing.

It even marked where anomalies were likely to appear and which places were suitable as temporary retreat points.

It was a hundred times better than him trying to figure it out blindly.

"Not bad, Wang Zhiming, you really have a way with things."

Zhou Che patted Wang Zhiming on the shoulder and praised him without reservation,

"You truly are the brains of The Convoy.

With your data, going to Linshui will be like going home to get something; we won't have to stumble around blindly."

"By the way, Wang Zhiming, have you ever thought about awakening a second Sequence?"

Wang Zhiming suddenly looked up, his eyes instantly lighting up like light bulbs.

His heart was pounding, almost jumping out of his throat.

A second Sequence!

Of course he wanted to!

He dreamed of it!

Over the past few days at the training ground,

he had already noticed something was off.

Captain Liu Ruyan, Lin Wan, and the others had physical fitness far exceeding that of ordinary Transcendents.

He used to think it was because they were talented and trained hard.

Hearing Mr. Zhou's words,

he finally realized.

They weren't single-Sequence at all!

They were all dual-Sequence!

The superposition of two Sequences not only added a life-saving ability, but the improvement in physical fitness was also genuine.

Take his own Illusionist Sequence, for instance; his mental strength was much stronger than the average person.

During the last roar of the flood dragon, everyone else was shaking, unable to even stand steady.

He was just a little dizzy.

If he could awaken another Sequence that strengthened his physical body, he could also resist anomalies slightly and wouldn't get taken out in a second.

"M-Mr. Zhou, are you serious? Can you really help me awaken a second Sequence?"

Wang Zhiming's voice was trembling, and the documents in his hands were crumpled.

His face was full of disbelief.

"Of course it's true."

Zhou Che nodded, his tone calm but carrying undeniable power,

"But you also know, there are so many Transcendents in The Convoy."

"Shen Fei and Wang Laowu, the first people to follow me, are still single-Sequence even now."

"Your current contributions and prestige are not enough to convince everyone.

If I help you awaken now, others will definitely have opinions and think I'm playing favorites."

"But don't worry, I see your abilities.

As long as you work hard and contribute more to The Convoy,

when the time is right, I will be the first to help you awaken a second Sequence."

This was half-truth, half-falsehood.

Zhou Che did value Wang Zhiming's abilities.

A talent who can analyze, organize intelligence, and predict risks in advance is extremely precious in the apocalypse.

During the last Devourer of Calamity incident in Shancheng,

if it hadn't been for Wang Zhiming being the first to analyze the characteristics of the Devourer of Calamity, The Convoy wouldn't have known how many people would have died.

This spot for a second Sequence was originally intended for him.

But he really couldn't give it to him right now.

He had to paint a picture of the future first to keep him hooked.

With hope, there is motivation.

This would make him more devoted to working for him.

Wang Zhiming couldn't have imagined so much.

He only knew that Mr. Zhou had promised him, reserving the spot for a second Sequence!

A surge of hot blood rushed to his head instantly.

The exhaustion from staying up half the night vanished in an instant.

"Mr. Zhou, rest assured! My life belongs to you!"

He was so excited that his face turned red, and he bowed deeply to Zhou Che, his waist bending almost to ninety degrees.

"In the future, I will definitely devote myself entirely to you! To The Convoy! I will never let down your trust!"

He was incredibly agitated.

He wished he could go and compile ten or eight more documents right now.

Zhou Che looked at him and nodded with satisfaction.

The motivational effect was achieved.

"Alright, go back and prepare. We depart for Linshui County at 1:00 PM today, sharp."

"Okay! I'll go prepare right away!"

Wang Zhiming ran off excitedly, his steps much lighter.

Even his back revealed a sense of motivation.

Zhou Che watched his back and rubbed his chin.

Departing in the afternoon was just right.

This morning was Luo Xi's team training.

It was the perfect opportunity to practice team coordination.

Going to Linshui County to search for supplies, encountering anomalies was inevitable.

In the past, everyone fought on their own, and things became a mess when fighting.

If they really encountered large-scale anomalies, it would be easy to be broken one by one.

They had to learn team collaboration.

Zhou Che turned and walked toward the training ground.

On the training ground, everyone had already arrived.

They were doing warm-up exercises.

Wang Laowu swung his still-swollen arm, grimacing as he stretched his legs.

Yesterday, he was punished by Luo Xi with one hundred Left Hooks, and now his arm was so sore he couldn't lift it.

Shen Fei was kicking his legs on the side, his movements still a bit stiff, and he would twist his ankle from time to time.

Although Ruan Xiaoxiao's leg was still a bit limping, she gritted her teeth and persisted, refusing to fall behind.

Seeing Zhou Che approach, everyone stopped their movements and shouted in unison: "Good morning, Mr. Zhou!"

"Morning."

Zhou Che nodded and walked into the formation to stand.

At this moment, Luo Xi walked over.

She was wearing a black tight-fitting sportswear today, outlining her perfect body curves.

Her slender legs were straight and powerful, her waist was slim, and her abdominal muscles were vaguely visible.

She had a high ponytail, stray hairs on her forehead blown by the wind, and no expression on her face, appearing capable and cool.

Everyone's gaze fell on her unconsciously.

Wang Laowu stared with wide eyes, only to be secretly poked in the waist by Shen Fei.

He then hurriedly withdrew his gaze and pretended to be serious as he exercised his neck.

Ruan Xiaoxiao leaned close to Zhou Che and whispered: "Mr. Zhou, my cousin looks really good today, right?"

Zhou Che smiled and didn't speak.

His gaze fell on Luo Xi, carrying a hint of appreciation.

Luo Xi walked to the front of the formation and raised her hands, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Today is the third day of training; we won't practice individual moves anymore, but team coordination."

Her voice was clear and powerful, spreading throughout the training ground.

"Before we start training, let's set our slogan."
