Chapter 423 Today We Take Off
Of the four awakening potions, two succeeded and two failed.
With a 50% success rate in awakening, Fu Ruoxue maintained her original level.
However, this outcome can be an unbearable pain for an individual.
Perhaps the only one with a slightly different feeling is Fang Bo.
For some reason, he felt much more relaxed this time because he wasn't assigned the awakening potion.
Next, it's time to take the enhancement potion.
However, given Yang Fan's experience, the team members who had not taken the drug were still somewhat apprehensive.
Fu Xiaojian, Su Su, and others who had taken the enhancement potion fared much better.
However, since there were many people who received the enhancement drug, Fu Xiaojian arranged for several batches to take it together for safety reasons.
That way, no one can say anything about anyone else.
The first group to take the enhancement drug included Chen Pei, Su Su, and Fu Ruoxue.
Fu Xiaojian then approached Xu Si to discuss something.
Fu Xiaojian walked through the crowd toward Nirvana.
Xu Si sat on the roof of the car. The blood-red sun had long since sunk below the horizon, and the stars had taken over the entire sky.
His shadow blurred into a blotch of ink under the starlight, the edges of which resembled an ink painting blurred by water—that was the "shadow," quietly curled up in his shadow.
He was fulfilling his duty of protection.
"Old Xu." Fu Xiaojian stood by the car, looking up at him.
Xu Si lowered his eyes, his scarlet star-like pupils glowing faintly in the night.
"I need to discuss something."
"There are only a few days left before the Bright Car Team is mobilized!" Fu Xiaojian didn't mince words.
"I think it would be best if we got involved! And maybe we can even find your sister!" Fu Xiaojian continued.
"The key point?"
"If we follow the steps one by one, we will definitely not catch up, so..." Fu Xiaojian looked at Xu Si's Nirvana with shining eyes. He really liked it, and his meaning was self-evident.
Xu Si couldn't refuse, nor did he have any reason to refuse.
Even if he goes alone, he has to attend this car rally.
This is one of the few opportunities he might have to meet his sister.
Moreover, his Sequence 6 status has been stable in the past two days, so driving the convoy doesn't actually require much effort.
According to his estimate, if it does not significantly affect his own condition, he should be able to reunite with the Guangming team in four or five days at most.
That will allow you to have a day or two to plan your city exploration.
"Okay." Xu Si said the two words casually, as if he were agreeing to a trivial matter.
Fu Xiaojian smiled, a smile that carried a sense of relief and joy.
His busy work these past few days was all in preparation for this moment. If it weren't for the need to reunite with the Bright Team, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to improve the team's strength.
He also happened to calculate that Xu Si would definitely not give up this opportunity.
"I knew it."
He glanced back at the camp, at the busy figures, at the faces excited or disappointed by the medicine, at the people still struggling to survive in the apocalypse.
"Is it the same as last time? Is it too much of a burden for you? If you need anything, let me know in advance, or I can ask Fu Ruoxue to give you some medicine?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
"No need! But the journey is expected to take four or five days, so you should still communicate with the convoy!"
The transition from sequence 5 to sequence 6 has almost completely altered his condition, rendering ordinary medications ineffective.
"Then it's settled." Fu Xiaojian patted the Nirvana's body, relieved, and turned to walk back to the camp.
His footsteps faded into the night, leaving Xu Si alone sitting on the roof of the car.
Starlight fell on his shoulders, gilding his tall, slender figure with a cold, silvery glow.
The shadow writhed slightly in the shadow beneath his feet, but Xu Si's thoughts had already drifted away.
The next morning.
Before the blood-red sun had even risen, a faint glimmer of dawn had already appeared on the horizon.
Those who took the medicine last night have shown up one after another. The bad news is that Chen Pei, Fu Ruoxue, and Su Su, who are at Sequence 4, have not advanced.
Of course, some people also manage to advance to the next level.
For example, Shao Bing and Wang Hu, who were in Sequence 2, officially advanced to Sequence 3 as Military Marquis and Craftsman.
Li Miao, who was in Sequence 1, has officially advanced to Sequence 2 – Illusionist.
Lin Zhennan was only one step away from Sequence 4, and he discussed with Fu Xiaojian in the morning about exchanging for an extra enhancement potion.
He wanted to take this opportunity to break through to Sequence 4 in one fell swoop.
Especially when the convoy still has enough medicine.
Actually, Fu Xiaojian really wanted to give it to him.
However, all he has left are basic enhancement potions, which may have good effects on Sequence 1 or Sequence 2.
The effect on sequence 3 is relatively much worse, especially if the patient has just taken a dose.
The effect of such ordinary enhancement agents is negligible.
As for the enhancement potions applicable to Sequence 3, Jiang Li and Jiao Jiao haven't used theirs yet.
However, Lin Zhennan had no connection with either of them.
Lin Zhennan sat back in the car, looking at the enhancement potion with its silvery-gray luster in his hand, his brows furrowed into a knot.
This is Jiang Li's branch.
The exchange went more smoothly than he had imagined; Jiang Li agreed as soon as he asked.
He had originally intended to use his car as a bargaining chip, but Jiang Li didn't even mention it.
However, he ultimately promised three bizarre drops, at least one of which was a level 4 bizarre drop.
As for Jiang Li, well, how should I put it?
His impression of her was that she was aloof from the world and didn't care much about anything.
The sequence seemed sufficient to her, far less desirable than he was.
However, not knowing what the arrangements were for today, he suppressed his intense desire for power and did not drink the potion immediately.
At the same time, there was also a slight apprehension about the pain from last night.
"Everyone, pack your things. We're leaving in half an hour." Fu Xiaojian's voice rang out in the camp, carrying a hint of exhilaration.
"Old Fu, are we hunting again today? How about I lead the hunt?"
Tashan was the most enthusiastic, mainly because he wanted to upgrade his bus into a marvel.
His expectations have only grown higher since Wang Hu advanced to Sequence 3 last night.
"No hunting or traveling today, today..." Fu Xiaojian left the question unanswered.
"We're taking off today..."
Everyone seemed to have realized something.
Then he looked at Nirvana, where Xu Si was staying, and Nirvana began to unfold its form in cooperation.
Having not experienced the [Crocodile Demon] incident, Fu Ruoxue and the others were completely confused by what they heard.
At this moment, the body of the red behemoth began to tremble, not with the rhythmic shaking of an engine, but with a tremor like the stretching of bones.
Every armor plate is being rearranged, every pipe is being re-laid out, and every component is finding its new place.
The sides of the car body unfold like a giant bird spreading its wings; the chassis is lowered, reducing the center of gravity; the front of the car is elongated, and the lines become smoother from square; the rear of the car extends, forming a slightly upturned arc.
The wheels were not retracted, but folded inwards and tucked under the armor plates, like a feline retracting its claws.
The whole process lasted for about a few minutes.
When everything returned to calm, Nirvana had completely changed.
It is no longer a car.
It's more like a perfectly designed aerial fortress.
Its fuselage is long and slender, its wings have sharp lines, and the armor plates on both sides of the body extend outwards into two wide winglets, which gleam with a dark red cold light under the blood sun.
This was also a design reference made by Xu Si, taking into account the needs of long-distance flight, and based entirely on the "Kunpeng Fighter" before the apocalypse.
Nirvana can not only rely on its own star attraction, but it also has its own flight module.
Xu Si is currently using its flight module.
