Chapter 92 Sequence 2 - Lord
Sequence 2 - Lord.
Fu Xiaojian gently moved his somewhat stiff hands and feet, feeling the new power surging within him, as well as the clearer and wider-ranging danger perception brought by his sequence ability.
He looked in the direction of Xu Si, the "Messenger of Melting Wax," and nodded slightly through the car window and the night.
Xu Si also withdrew his attention and closed his eyes again.
Fu Xiaojian's successful promotion is a great thing for the team.
……
With Ronaldinho's psionic barrier protecting them, the convoy once again enjoyed a peaceful night.
As the first rays of the blood-red sun pierced the darkness on the Gobi Desert horizon, the checkpoint gradually came alive, as if the apocalypse had never happened.
After a quick wash, Xu Si also picked up a bowl of fish soup and started drinking it.
As Fu Xiaojian stood beside the Mengshi vehicle, his demeanor seemed to have undergone a subtle change. He appeared less anxious than before and more composed and in control.
"Stop looking, I have indeed been promoted to Sequence 2."
Not only Su Su and Xiao Luo, but even Shao Bing, who had only known him for a short time, noticed his difference. The little girl stared at him intently.
Fu Xiaojian didn't hide anything and calmly announced that giving the team confidence was what he, as the team leader, should do.
"What? Old Fu, you've also advanced to Sequence 2?" It seems only Tashan hasn't discovered this yet.
After a brief silence, the convoy erupted in low cheers and congratulations.
Especially the original team members, all of whom showed signs of excitement.
The improved leadership means that the survival of the entire team is further enhanced.
Jiao Jiao's eyes lit up, and she moved closer to Fu Xiaojian, her fingertips shimmering with a milky white light.
"Brother Fu, how are you feeling? How about I treat you to a deluxe recovery package?"
Recalling the almost unbearable pain of last night, Fu Xiaojian's lips twitched, but he still managed a smile and waved his hand: "Feels great, use your abilities sparingly."
His gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Xu Si. He nodded, everything understood without saying a word.
Xu Si carried his dinner as if it were none of his business.
However, this small action still caught Shao Bing's attention; it's not easy to escape the eyes of a scout.
The convoy quickly set off again, even though they were reluctant to leave the supply depot, because the convoy really didn't have much food left.
No matter how precious water resources are, they cannot be eaten.
The convoy set off again, the morning wind of the Gobi Desert, carrying rough sand and gravel, constantly battling against the convoy.
The exhilaration of Fu Xiaojian's promotion to Sequence 2 gradually settled into a more solid confidence amidst the monotonous and desolate scenery.
His three traits are "Territory", "Support", and "Prosperity". Although he still doesn't have much combat power, they are still decent support traits.
"Territory" allows for a wider and more accurate prediction of danger; "Support" can boost morale and inspire the fighting spirit of the team members at any time; as for "Prosperity," it is somewhat ethereal, similar to a luck attribute, and anything that is beneficial to the team may happen.
It's worth mentioning that all three of these "characteristics" are passive. Although Fu Xiaojian was mentally prepared, he was still a little speechless.
Xu Si drove the "Melting Wax Messenger" at the back of the convoy, enjoying a rare level of comfort thanks to the spacious interior and adjustable layout.
Shao Bing's ambulance was driving ahead of him. The former soldier drove steadily and cautiously, occasionally glancing behind him through the rearview mirror.
His militia background gave him a "reconnaissance" ability, making him instinctively sensitive to unusual environmental changes.
"Captain Fu, at the eleven o'clock position to the left, about 1.5 kilometers away, there's a reflection, it doesn't look like a natural rock." Shao Bing's voice came through the walkie-talkie, calm and concise.
Fu Xiaojian immediately replied, "Roger that. Old Xu, what can you see?"
Xu Sixing's eyes narrowed slightly as he focused on the direction Shao Bing had indicated.
At the edge of the perception of "star trails", there were indeed some scattered but relatively concentrated energy remnants in that area. They were very weak and seemed to have been there for some time, but they were not formed naturally.
"It seems to be signs of a battle." Xu Si's voice came through the walkie-talkie, calm and composed.
"Should we go take a look?" Fu Xiaojian asked for his opinion.
Silence remained on the walkie-talkie as the convoy subtly adjusted its direction and headed towards that area.
As they drew closer, the group realized that the so-called "reflection" was actually a mass of sand and gravel scorched by high temperatures, forming blackish-gray crystals that resembled glass.
"There was indeed a battle here! And it was quite intense," Shao Bing commented.
The little girl was really greedy, prying at a few loose crystals with great effort.
Although I don't know what it's for, I'll just pry it off first. After all, moss can be traded for things, so this pretty thing should be even more valuable.
She's terrified of being poor now, and she still owes Xu Si three strange drops! She needs to find a way to save money!
"Can you tell if it's strange?" Fu Xiaojian asked, referring naturally to the two sides or one of the combatants.
"At least one of them is!" Xu Si's star trail revealed the traces on the ground. Many of the crystals were broken, and judging from the marks, they must have been caused by a strange and heavy blow, and not just any strange one.
It's hard to say who will win or lose, since the battle area is quite large.
The direction in which the battle traces extended was remarkably similar to the route indicated by the worker ants.
"It might be those guys from 'Flame Chariots'." Fu Xiaojian recalled Jia Zhenxin's warning.
Jiao Jiao finally pried off a few palm-sized crystals, carefully wrapped them in cloth, and presented them to Xu Si like treasures: "Brother Dao, Brother Dao, do you think these are valuable? Can they be used to pay off debts?"
"What junk? If you want to pay off your debts with this, you'll have to pry open a whole truck." Xu Sixing glanced at the crystals but didn't find anything special about them.
"Hmph, even a mosquito's leg is still meat! If you don't want it, I'll keep it for myself; this young lady will save it up slowly!"
The little girl wasn't discouraged at all. She turned around and continued to pry open the bigger one. Little Luo also helped enthusiastically. The two of them were now a pioneering duo.
Jiao Jiao's face instantly fell, but she still stubbornly stuffed the crystal into her small backpack:
"Stop prying, get in the car and let's go." The battle here must have happened not long ago, and staying any longer will only increase the danger.
Upon receiving the order, the convoy members acted swiftly.
Tashan yanked up the crystal that Jiao Jiao had been reluctantly trying to pry open, and stuffed it into the back pocket of the pickup truck.
The little girl kept thanking her.
Shao Bing and Li Miao also swiftly returned to the ambulance.
Xu Si had already activated "Melting Wax Messenger," and the engine emitted a deep roar.
"Be on guard! Watch out for ambushes!"
Stopping is definitely not an option; all they can do now is trail far behind any potential convoy ahead.
