Chapter 411 No Room for Maneuver
After breakfast, before departure.
Fu Xiaojian finally walked towards Fu Ruoxue.
"Miss Fu, may I speak to you in private?"
Fu Ruoxue raised her head, glanced at him, then stood up and patted the dust off her trousers.
"it is good."
The two walked one after the other to the edge of the camp and stopped under a dead old tree.
"You've seen the situation with the convoy," Fu Xiaojian said bluntly, without beating around the bush.
What materials are needed for the enhancement potion?
Fu Ruoxue did not answer immediately.
She gazed at the busy figures in the center of the camp. Tashan was helping to load things onto the top of the bus; Doudou kept peeking through Yaya's toes; and the others were also busy with their own tasks, all incredibly vibrant.
"Ideally, it should be a strange drop; the higher the rank, the better the effect," she suddenly said.
Fu Xiaojian raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue.
"If it's an enhancement potion used in Sequence 1 and Sequence 2, you can get about one from a single strange drop of the same rank. The higher the rank, the more you can make," Fu Ruoxue continued.
In other words, the loot dropped by a level 3 Mysterious item is much greater than the loot dropped by several level 1 Mysterious items.
That makes sense.
"What about the awakening potion?"
"Then there's nothing we can do. One strange drop can only be used to make one Awakening Potion! And the success rate of awakening the potion is unrelated to the rank of the strange drop!"
Fu Ruoxue was also helpless, but that was indeed the case.
Whether it's a level 1 or level 5 mysterious drop of an awakening potion, the probability of awakening is almost the same.
Fu Xiaojian remained silent.
The item was dropped mysteriously, and the convoy had no stock. If they did have any, it was probably only Xu Si who had some.
The strange creature, now in Xu Si's hands, will definitely be more useful than if it were in theirs, or even more so than if it were in Fu Ruoxue's.
However, Fu Ruoxue's only advantage is that she doesn't have to spend any extra money.
However, the effect is definitely not as strong as Xu Si's potion, Fu Xiaojian was quite certain of this.
After all, Xu Si's reputation is well-known.
You get what you pay for.
"Then I'll have to trouble you with this!"
Fu Ruoxue thought that Fu Xiaojian's next move was to give her a strange drop.
Unexpectedly, he turned around and left, as if he had made up his mind.
Fu Ruoxue was completely stumped.
How could he know that Fu Xiaojian was penniless?
All the strange drops have to be fought off.
Fu Xiaojian turned and walked back to the camp, his mind clearly made up.
The caravan has mysteriously fallen; they are indeed out of stock.
But the most abundant thing in the apocalypse is the bizarre—as long as you dare to reveal your presence, there will be plenty of strange things coming your way.
"Shao Bing." He waved.
"Notify everyone, we'll depart in five minutes. Slow down today, everyone on high alert, prepare to engage the enemy." With Xu Si in charge, Fu Xiaojian wanted to train the other members of the convoy's combat capabilities.
Otherwise, how long would it take for him to grow up under Xu Si's protection?
Fu Xiaojian relayed his thoughts through the intercom system.
Naturally, it received the support of the vast majority of people.
Especially Yang Fan, ever since he was kicked away by Dao Feng, he has been practicing his gun every day without fail, but without combat, his progress has been stagnant.
If this continues, he'll probably get anxious and upset.
Others, including Ivan, Wang Hu, Lin Zhennan, and Xiao Wu, were also eager to try.
Normally, when the team is dealing with a crisis, it is Xu Si, Ta Shan, Chen Pei, and Su Su who take the lead.
They haven't even had a chance to train, so they certainly can't miss this opportunity to increase their practical experience.
"Xiao Luo doesn't need to use the psionic barrier for the next two days! But if any strange attacks occur, we must annihilate them completely!"
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Fu Xiaojian had been promoted to Sequence 6.
"Furthermore, those ranked 4th and above will supervise from the sidelines. Barring unforeseen circumstances, they will not engage the enemy for the time being. All spoils will be turned over to the public!"
The reason for doing this is to enhance the team's foundation, so we cannot simply ignore it or let it run its course.
"Did you all understand?" Fu Xiaojian asked over the walkie-talkie.
"Understood!" Yang Fan shouted the loudest, clearly already eager to get started.
If the battle is intense, he might be able to advance to level two in one day, level three in two days, and level four in three days.
He felt that a bright tomorrow was beckoning to him.
"Then let's set off and engage in battle!"
No one knew that a mad convoy was waiting for a bizarre attack in this very place.
Without Xiao Luo's psionic barrier, and with the convoy moving at a very slow pace, it was practically testing the nerves of the supernatural.
Anything that is normally bizarre will definitely not withstand such a test.
"Energy fluctuation detected 5 kilometers to the right front, intensity: 2, group size: 1, approaching!"
This was the third wave of strange occurrences reported by Nirvana, and Xu Si had already sensed them within his star veins.
However, since he had decided not to make a move, Xu Si would see it through to the end.
As usual, Xu Si decided to stand by and do nothing.
"Give this to me, I can handle the level two weirdness!" Yang Fan said without hesitation.
He was really bored; he missed the first two waves of strange occurrences, one a level three strange occurrence and the other a level two strange occurrence.
If we miss this Level 2 anomaly now, who knows when we'll get another one?
The Level 2 anomaly came sooner than expected.
Yang Fan leaped off the roof of the Hummer, the bone spear in his hand, ranked 2871, gleaming coldly in the blood-red sun.
He leaped a few times and rushed out of the edge of the camp, heading towards the approaching energy wave to his right.
"Yang Fan, be more composed—" Fu Xiaojian's voice came through the loudspeaker, tinged with a hint of helplessness.
"What? Be a little impulsive?"
Yang Fan's voice was torn apart by the wind, and his figure had already disappeared into the horizon beyond the camp.
Xu Si sat on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle, the star veins spreading silently, taking in every energy fluctuation within a radius of several kilometers.
The Level 2 anomaly was a large reptile, its shape somewhere between a lizard and a scorpion, covered entirely in a grayish-white carapace, leaving a trail of deep claw marks on the ground as it moved along its six legs.
It was clearly drawn by the scent of the convoy and was approaching the camp at an almost greedy pace.
Then, the two energy waves collided.
At the moment of impact, Yang Fan's bone spear used brute force to send the strange creature flying into the air.
It seems this guy has been holding back for quite some time. He's surprisingly strong against a strange being a level higher than himself. Xu Si couldn't help but look at him with new respect.
Yang Fan's fighting style is aggressive—reckless, direct, and ruthless.
The bone spear in his hand was not a thorn, but a smash.
The moment he launched that level-two monster into the air, he also leaped up, gripping his spear with both hands, descending from above like a heavy hammer falling from the sky.
boom--
The bone spear struck the eerie gray-white carapace with a dull thud.
The eerie creature was slammed to the ground, its six legs flailing wildly in the air, kicking up dust that blotted out the sky.
However, the level two's bizarre vitality far exceeded Yang Fan's expectations.
Even with fine cracks appearing on its shell, it still flipped over the moment it landed, its barbed tail lashing out like a whip at Yang Fan's waist.
Fortunately, he was on high alert at all times, and with a quick sidestep, he dodged the attack while simultaneously lunging forward again.
With the distance shortened, the attack of the tail hook becomes very limited.
"Thousand-Pound Meteor Hammer"
The moment the tail hook was pulled away, a powerful and heavy blow shattered both of its left legs.
Then he was thrown several meters away by a dull thud.
Fortunately, he already had experience and simply released the force, so the injury wasn't serious.
