Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse

"Here... it can have some effect on anomalies!"

Ding Dong tossed a mirror to Zhou Xiaoxiao, then turned around and walked to the side to start tending to the grain seeds she had just traded for.

Seeing these items that had cost half the convoy's supplies to obtain.

Ding Dong's entire demeanor underwent a change.

The mirror she had just tossed to Zhou Xiaoxiao was a magical tool crafted by that Taoist priest;it could have some effect on ordinary anomalies.

Ding Dong had traded it for some miscellaneous items from the vehicle.

Although it wasn't a Wonder and had no sequence number, something like this, in the hands of other survivors, would be treated as a treasure.

But in Ding Dong's eyes, this thing wasn't even as valuable as a single emerald-green leaf.

She had just returned from the Planting Base, where Professor Liu had taught Ding Dong how to plant these new varieties.

To be considered qualified potato or lettuce seed stock, they first needed to be activated with supernatural power.

Only those activated with supernatural power could be considered qualified grain seeds.

Those that couldn't be activated would simply be processed as ordinary food ingredients.

Everything from how to plant them until maturity, when to water them, how to care for them, and so on.

All of it had been written down by Professor Liu in a small notebook and given to Ding Dong.

Due to Ding Dong's obsession with planting.

Chu Che had already assigned the planting task to Ding Dong.

Regarding this, no one else had voiced any objections.

It just so happened that Ding Dong was very interested, and the others weren't particularly skilled at it either, so the matter was settled. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Zhou Xiaoxiao, covered in sweat, hurriedly caught the mirror.

Before Ding Dong returned, Zhou Xiaoxiao had been practicing a set of basic fist techniques.

Yes, this set of fist techniques was taught to her by Ding Dong.

Actually, this set of fist techniques was very simple, the kind you could easily find by searching online before the apocalypse.

But nowadays, if no one taught you, you'd definitely never learn it in a lifetime.

"Ding Dong sister, this is..."

"Traded it from that Taoist priest. It's not a Wonder, just a magical tool, can have some effect on anomalies."

After explaining, Ding Dong picked up a shovel and, following the points of attention Professor Liu had mentioned, carefully cut the potatoes in her hand into four pieces, then buried them in the soil.

Zhou Xiaoxiao hurried over, picked up a small bucket, and carefully helped water them.

Ding Dong didn't spare another glance at Zhou Xiaoxiao, continuing to plant potatoes in the next flower pot.

These flower pots were also those green plastic pots.

The pots contained some pitch-black soil, with a faint earthy smell.

Ding Dong didn't mind, and Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't wrinkle her nose either.

The current Zhou Xiaoxiao had changed a great deal.

That spoiled future star from before had long since shed all her pampered airs.

Whatever Ding Dong told her to do, she would always do it without hesitation.

They kept busy until midnight.

They didn't even have time to eat dinner.

Only then did Ding Dong stand up, satisfied as she looked at the dozens of flower pots before her.

Each flower pot was planted full of new varieties.

They only needed to wait about another hour, and these seed stocks would sprout green seedlings in the pots.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaoxiao beside her was already swaying from exhaustion.

Originally, due to long-term malnutrition, ordinary people's bodies weren't that great.

Add to that working non-stop until now.

"Sorry, I forgot you haven't eaten dinner yet."

Ding Dong rummaged through the vehicle compartment, pulled out a few pieces of bread, and handed them to Zhou Xiaoxiao.

Zhou Xiaoxiao took them and wolfed them down, only then feeling much better.

"Ding Dong, these things..."

"These are treasures! Maybe in the future, we won't have to go scavenging for supplies anymore."

"These..."

"You don't know, these things are..."

To make Zhou Xiaoxiao appreciate the importance of these things, Ding Dong explained their origins and their preciousness to her.

Zhou Xiaoxiao listened, dumbstruck.

When the Village Chief demonstrated these improved grain seeds yesterday, Zhou Xiaoxiao naturally didn't have the qualification to listen in.

Even if Chu Che didn't intend to hide it from all the survivors, it was still somewhat unlikely for Zhou Xiaoxiao to find out so quickly.

"Ding Dong sister, so, these grain seeds can only function in the hands of superhumans?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao's tone was filled with indescribable envy, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at these flower pots.

"That's right, I have to say, Professor Liu is truly great."

"Maybe in a few years, Professor Liu will have new improved grain seeds, and then we might have hope."

When Ding Dong said this, her tone was full of admiration and hope.

"Ding Dong sister, I really envy you all for being able to become superhumans!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao's voice was brimming with envy.

"Superhumans, it's just like that. We're the same as you;we can die too!"

"Ding Dong sister, how did you awaken back then?"

"Awakening, huh..."

Through their interactions during this period, Ding Dong had developed some goodwill toward Zhou Xiaoxiao.

After learning about the girl's background and past, Ding Dong took even more care of Zhou Xiaoxiao;chatting occasionally was no big deal.

Ding Dong had practiced fist techniques under her grandfather's guidance since childhood. Later, she originally thought about becoming a martial arts athlete, but through a twist of fate, she became a firefighter.

Then after the apocalypse, Ding Dong awakened to the Fist Master Sequence.

"Ding Dong sister, you just practiced and practiced and became a superhuman?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao felt she had grasped the key point in Ding Dong's words and hurriedly asked.

"More or less, I'm not too sure either!"

"Ding Dong sister, you... could you teach me to practice fist techniques!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao swallowed, her voice a bit dry;the last few words were squeezed out from the back of her throat.

Regarding Zhou Xiaoxiao's words, Ding Dong didn't seem surprised.

She just turned her head and smiled, saying, "What you were practicing just now, wasn't that what I taught you?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao stared fixedly into Ding Dong's eyes, her own eyes slightly reddening: "Ding Dong sister, I... I want to become your disciple!"

"Please teach me how to become a superhuman!"

Those fervent eyes stared unwaveringly at Ding Dong.

This sentence had been buried in Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart for far too long.

Ever since she learned about superhumans, she had always wanted to become one.

Zhou Xiaoxiao had dreamed countless times of awakening to Sequence Superpowers and achieving a brand-new life.

But when she woke from the dream, she would be enveloped by endless disappointment.

If she were a superhuman, then so many things that happened later wouldn't have occurred.

Zhou Xiaoxiao had also wanted to become a disciple of a superhuman, to learn how to awaken.

She had thought about becoming Chu Che's disciple, but Squad Leader Chu Che seemed easy-going, yet his mind was deep;she couldn't guess what Squad Leader Chu was thinking.

As for Sun Xixi, she vaguely heard about the relationship between Chen Ye and this girl.

And Iron Lion, he was Chen Ye's best brother;although simple, Iron Lion wouldn't agree either.

As for Chen Ye himself...

Until Ding Dong appeared.

Ding Dong looked directly into Zhou Xiaoxiao's fervent eyes and calmly asked, "You want to become a superhuman, is it to seek revenge on Chen Ye?"

"If that's the case, I won't teach you!"
