Chapter 55 Eating Cured Meat
"Here's a hint: get up very early tomorrow morning and take someone to wait by Wang Hu's car. Uncle Wang needs someone to help him with a few things today!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Ze's face lit up with joy. "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Zhao!"
……
"How's it going, Brother Ze? Are those superhumans willing to lend us supplies?"
After Gao Ze returned to the car, the people sitting in the back immediately asked him questions.
Gao Ze shook his head helplessly.
Seeing Gao Ze's appearance, the others knew the outcome and sighed helplessly.
"Brother Ze, if all else fails, we'll steal other people's supplies and eat them right away. They won't know we stole them anyway, and even if a superhuman comes, they won't know it was us!"
"yes!"
"Stop talking about it. Don't even think about it unless you're completely desperate. Although I couldn't borrow supplies from superhumans, it's not like I have no way to get supplies!"
……
The next morning, Xu Wenchu led his convoy and set off early.
From 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., the entire convoy was on the road the whole time.
Just as Zhao Hai had predicted, the slaves in the Yu family's caravan had no supplies to begin with, and having been traveling on foot all morning, they were already starving.
They all approached Chen Zhifu, saying they wanted to join the bus.
The fact that they set off so early today was actually something Zhao Hai and Xu Wenchu had planned long ago.
Xu Wenchu led the convoy slowly early in the morning, deliberately controlling the speed so that those who were walking could keep up with the convoy!
As a result, they had no food to replenish their supplies and still had to keep moving. If it weren't for their will to survive, they probably would have fallen behind by now.
Sure enough, as soon as the convoy stopped, everyone rushed to Chen Zhifu to join the bus.
This morning, Gao Ze, as Zhao Hai had instructed, got up at six o'clock with Gan Tiefeng and waited by Wang Hu's car.
Yesterday, Chen Wen and his group swapped cars with Zhao Hai and his group, so they no longer needed their original tricycle.
They had originally planned to trade the tricycle for supplies with other survivors who didn't have vehicles, but the supplies offered by those survivors were too meager, so the group was naturally unwilling to trade.
So they went to Xu Wenzhu to see if he would be willing to exchange supplies for the tricycle.
Their tricycle was a fuel-powered tricycle, and Xu Wenchu exchanged some supplies with them.
In fact, the supplies Xu Wenchu provided were even less than those provided by the other survivors.
Even so, Chen Wen was still very willing to make the exchange.
You should know that Xu Wenchu is a Sequence Transcendent, and being able to build a good relationship with a Sequence Transcendent is something that many people would rather do than do.
If the extraordinary beings in the sequence were to reveal even a single piece of information to them, the benefits they could gain would be enough to recoup their investment. Just like with their recent car purchase, if they hadn't asked Chen Zhifu beforehand, they probably wouldn't have had the chance to choose that SUV.
Actually, if Chen Wen and his group's tricycle hadn't been a fuel-powered tricycle, Xu Wenchu wouldn't have traded with them.
It's important to know that there's a difference between fuel-powered tricycles and electric tricycles.
The engine of a gasoline-powered tricycle contains ferromagnets, while electric tricycles use permanent magnets, such as coils, instead of the original magnets.
Therefore, Zhao Hai knew that Xu Wenchu would definitely have Wang Changjin remove the engine from the tricycle and take out the magnet inside.
That's why he gave Gao Ze that reminder.
This morning, Wang Changjin knew that Gao Ze and the other person had listened to Zhao Hai and were waiting by their car early in the morning, so Wang Changjin directly asked them for help.
After all, Zhao Hai and his son are both Transcendent beings, and he was going to ask for help anyway, so he might as well go along with it and give Zhao Hai some face.
At noon, after Zhao Hai finished signing in for the first level of the "Heavenly Poison Sword Scripture," he saw Chen Zhifu and the others cooking porridge in a pot.
In just one hour, not only did the members of the Yu family's car team join the bus, but some hikers from the Xinghuo car team also joined the bus.
Therefore, Xu Wenchu also arranged for Chen Zhifu to cook lunch for them.
"It smells so good! They actually put so much rice in this porridge? Is this really for us?" one of the men, who used to be part of the Yu family's racing team, asked in disbelief.
"I've cooked so much porridge, of course it's for you to eat!" said one of the men who was cooking the porridge.
Zhao Hai also remembered this person; he was one of the people Chen Zhifu had taken him to that spicy hot pot restaurant to tease Zhang Biao.
"Wow! This is great! I never thought I'd get to eat such thick porridge! In the past, the Yu family would either give us moldy bread or watery porridge!"
That wasn't porridge at all; it was practically pre-apocalyptic pig swill!
"Holy crap! Dude, I'd heard that the superhuman in your previous team didn't treat you like human beings, but I never expected him to treat you like this!"
According to you, even pigs lived better lives than you before the apocalypse!
Looking back now, it was definitely better to have our Star Train team's extraordinary sequence!
"yes!"
……
"Xu the Charlatan, when did you become so generous, actually inviting us to dinner!" Su Wanyue said frankly.
"Wow! Aunt Zhou! You're so kind! You even made cured meat! This is a good thing that Xu the fortune teller valued highly! Every time he was asked to take it out to eat, it was like he was being asked to give up his life!" Seeing Zhou Qingya making cured meat, Su Wanyue ran over happily.
This cured meat was collected a long time ago by the group of them in a village. Su Wanyue and Wang Hu had already finished their share of cured meat, and only Xu Wenzhu's share was still there.
"Wow! Aunt Zhou! You're so kind! This is the first time I've eaten cured meat since the apocalypse!" Zhao Hai's face showed surprise and joy upon seeing cured meat to eat.
"Wow! Aunt Zhou, why is Captain Xu suddenly so generous today! He's known for being stingy!" Wang Hu exclaimed, looking both surprised and delighted.
"Isn't it my birthday today? Plus, your Captain Xu broke through to Sequence 2 today, so we're having a small celebration! The conditions are a bit simple, and the hospitality is a bit lacking, so please forgive us!" Zhou Qingya said to the group.
"Wow! It's Aunt Zhou's birthday today! Happy birthday, Aunt Zhou!" Su Wanyue said, having completely forgotten about Xu Wenchu's breakthrough.
Afterwards, Zhao Hai, Wang Hu, Wang Changjin, and Cao Fang all offered their blessings.
