Chapter 142 Never Abandon, Never Give Up
Xu Si leaned back against the wheel of the "Conqueror," took the half-bottle of water handed to him by Fu Xiaojian, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
There is actually water in his dimensional space, but ever since he got Bingxin, he just chews on ice cubes, which is much more convenient than drinking water.
Clear water slid down his parched throat, washing away Xu Si's exhaustion.
He had originally planned to catch up with the convoy this afternoon as planned, but he had used too much supernatural energy to stimulate the Conqueror, and he was now very tired.
Fortunately, this time it ended without any real danger.
The two of them just watched. Su Su, who was standing at the edge of the barrier, was reminiscing about the battle just now, her face full of bitterness.
The Sequence 3 aura emanating from her, which had just broken through and had not yet been fully subdued, was like a sharp blade that had not yet been sheathed, leaving the two of them with nothing but envy.
With the bug that Xu Si had created, Fu Xiaojian felt that he was getting closer and closer to Sequence 4, but now he felt that his hope was getting slimmer and slimmer.
I'm not afraid to compare goods; I'm only afraid of not being able to compete.
"That girl Su Su really is something this time..." Fu Xiaojian was preparing his words.
He was prepared to lie down on the bed with her, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and Su Su became the one he loved.
"Brother Dao" Jiao Jiao finally stopped and sidled up to Xu Si. Her voice was still hoarse from crying, but her eyes glanced at Jiang Li, who was strolling around and surveying the entire convoy.
"Isn't she... from the Martial God Caravan? How did you manage to seduce her back?"
"What if she sells us out!" Jiao Jiao said loudly, as if she were saying it to someone.
"Then I'll try my best to get her to sell you for a good price!" Xu Si couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Ugh! Are you determined to go against me?!"
If it weren't for the fact that he had just returned, Jiao Jiao would definitely have punched him twice.
"Stop joking, when has Old Xu ever made a losing deal?" Fu Xiaojian chimed in.
Speaking of this, Xu Si felt a little sad. He had just made a deal that lost him 100,000 yuan.
Please! Don't mention it again! Really!
Fu Xiaojian's words were like rubbing salt into his wounds.
For a moment, his gaze toward Fu Xiaojian became resentful.
"Oh right! Brother Dao has tricked me several times!" Jiao Jiao's eyes flickered, seemingly changing her mind.
"Should we let her ride in your car again? Or what?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
He's not entirely sure what their relationship is.
After so many days, something must have happened between a man and a woman alone together, right?
The ordinary people in the team seemed to understand something as well. It turned out that Boss Xu liked this style. Was it too late for them to change their style now?
"Let her go on the bus!" Xu Si rubbed his temples.
Besides having many secrets he didn't want others to discover, he naturally had other considerations as well.
The bus is mostly filled with ordinary people, so Jiang Li's barrier can play its greatest role at crucial moments.
If you encounter another strange group like the [Chi-tailed Shark Crocodile].
Therefore, relying solely on Tashan and Wang Hu to protect the safety of the bus is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
Jiang Li can provide the best protection at this time.
The convoy's extraordinary abilities allow them to operate with unrestrained energy and without worrying about the safety of ordinary people.
Jiang Li had no objections, only glanced at Xu Si indifferently, her gaze sweeping over the convoy before finally settling on Su Su.
Their eyes met briefly, Su Su nodded slightly, and Jiang Li returned the greeting before walking toward the badly damaged bus.
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jiao immediately put on a happy face, and her eyes looked at Jiang Li with a hint of scorn and sympathy.
See? You've been abandoned!
"Pah! What a scumbag!"
She then turned and angrily cursed Xu Si before skipping off to take care of Xiao Luo.
Did she insult me?
"..." Fu Xiaojian shrugged, his expression obvious.
Tashan was much better now. The rock armor on his body had been removed, and although he was still a little stiff when he walked, he was gradually recovering.
With Wang Hu's help, Tashan slowly returned to the bus!
The convoy regrouped and sped away from the Gobi Desert, which had just witnessed a bloody battle.
Xu Si's "Conqueror" remains at the back.
Ahead was Shao Bing's ambulance, and leading the way were Fu Xiaojian's Mengshi and Jiao Jiao's pickup truck.
The little girl glanced at him several times in the rearview mirror, her lips pouting so much they could hang an oil bottle on them.
"Auntie, how are you? How about I give you a few more recovery spells?" the little girl said, the terrifying experience still fresh in her mind.
"No need, I feel great!"
Su Su felt really good, as if she had all the power under her control.
The convoy continued its journey under the scorching sun of the Gobi Desert, its wheels kicking up clouds of dust as they churned over the sand and gravel.
Xu Si gripped the steering wheel. He used to never feel anything when the passenger seat was empty, but now he felt a little uncomfortable.
I glanced at the system interface, and the heartache was still unbearable.
Current purification point: 3670
A pitiful number.
However, the boost in the team's combat power brought about by Su Su's breakthrough to Sequence 3 eased his heartache somewhat.
"The team's strength... is finally starting to look decent." He muttered to himself.
Moreover, with Jiang Li's protective barrier, the safety of ordinary people on the bus has greatly increased.
Su Su has been promoted to Sequence 3, and her ability to directly attack has increased dramatically.
Although Tashan was injured, his rock sequence was naturally good at defense and recovery, and with Jiao Jiao's treatment, he would be able to recover his combat strength in no time.
Shao Bing and Wang Hu haven't fully matured yet, but they are reliable and will be able to stand on their own in time.
With further development, this team will be established.
By then, he should be able to obtain a Sequence Awakening Potion or artifact that can indicate his sister's location.
That would greatly increase his chances of finding his sister.
After driving for an unknown amount of time, his thoughts were interrupted by Fu Xiaojian's voice on the walkie-talkie.
"Old Xu, we've spotted a wind-eroded rock forest ahead. The terrain is complex. Shall we camp there tonight?"
Xu Si looked into the distance. The blood-red sun was setting in the west, spreading a large, ferocious crimson across the horizon.
A jagged, bizarre cluster of dark red rocks, like the skeleton of a giant beast, lies prostrate on the horizon.
Xu Si used his star track to sense the area but found nothing particularly special.
"Can."
The convoy then turned and headed towards the rocky forest.
The interior of the rock forest appears more intricate and complex than it does from a distance.
The stone pillars, some tens of meters high, have been eroded by wind and sand, creating all sorts of strange holes and ravines, forming a natural maze and barrier.
The crimson sunset shone through the holes, casting dappled beams of light that added to the eeriness of the scene.
Led by Fu Xiaojian, the convoy chose a depression with a huge rock pillar behind it and several narrow passages in front to set up camp.
While Xiao Luo was still recovering, Jiang Li naturally deployed a light blue barrier, enveloping the entire camp and isolating it from the outside wind and sand.
The campfire was lit, and the ingredients were plentiful today. It was to celebrate the convoy's escape from death, to celebrate Xu Si's return, and even more so to celebrate Su Su's breakthrough to Sequence 3.
In short, there are many happy events today.
Xu Si also contributed the only two cans of meat.
The little girl brought out the most interesting things, especially the two pieces of cured meat that were the most eye-catching.
Soon, the aroma of stewed meat mixed with potatoes filled the barrier.
"Well then, let me say a few words. In the past, our team only had two ironclad rules: first, equal exchange; second, no idlers."
"So today, the team has a third ironclad rule."
Fu Xiaojian looked around at the crowd staring at the rice pot and spoke slowly.
That means never abandoning or giving up.
It takes a lot of courage to say those words.
Because this is the end times.
(We never abandon or give up, so we are called the Steel Seventh Company.)
