Chapter 35 Eating Hot Pot
"Um! Mr. Zhao Hai, may I ask how you awakened your sequence?" Chen Wen asked somewhat nervously.
Seemingly afraid that Zhao Hai would disagree, he immediately added, "Don't worry, I didn't ask for nothing! This pound of rice is just a small token of my appreciation."
His words made everyone around him prick up their ears.
There's a Sequence Ability User here. If I could refer to his awakening process, maybe I'd also have a chance to awaken and become a Sequence Transcendent.
"There are only two ways to awaken a sequence: one is natural awakening, and the other is a sequence potion. I suppose you already know this. I awakened naturally, and my awakening process probably won't be of much help to you. Are you sure you want to waste this pound of rice for this information? Aren't you afraid that the pound of rice will go down the drain?" Zhao Hai looked at Chen Wen with a half-smile.
Zhao Hai also had some impression of Chen Wen.
Chen Wen and the other boys around him all went to the same university, and Chen Wen was the president of their student union.
After the apocalypse, those students followed Chen Wen and became a small force within the convoy.
Zhao Hai still remembered the last time in the village, it was Chen Wen who took the opportunity when the candy doll was entangled with Su Wanyue and led his classmates to escape first.
Moreover, Chen Wen is quite intelligent, and he and his classmates are doing fairly well in the car team.
Chen Wen was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Although I know in my heart that this pound of rice is most likely wasted, what if?"
"Okay!" Zhao Hai didn't stand on ceremony and took the pound of rice directly from his hand.
Zhao Hai wouldn't refuse such a good deal—getting a pound of rice for free just by talking!
"I suppose you know about that weird creature with the strange rules we encountered when we went to the village to collect supplies last time! I met that weird creature back then, but luckily I had a White Rabbit candy in my backpack. After I gave it to the weird creature, it stopped bothering me."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, I immediately fled. The following night, in the early hours of the morning, I recalled what had happened and still felt lingering fear. For some reason, just as I was about to go to sleep, I inexplicably woke up.
Zhao Hai naturally wouldn't tell them that he successfully awakened into a Sequence Transcendent by taking a Sequence Elixir.
As for his explanation, even if the other superhumans in the convoy came, they wouldn't doubt it in the slightest!
As for whether they would follow his approach, Zhao Hai didn't care.
His life or death had absolutely nothing to do with these people.
He wouldn't kill people on his own initiative, but that doesn't mean he would save them.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Chen Wen and the others' expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.
They dared not try Zhao Hai's method of awakening.
If they're unlucky enough to encounter something supernatural, that's one thing, but if they actively seek out supernatural things, isn't that like an old man going to the toilet and asking for his own death?
Moreover, some people have tried to imitate the awakening method of the Sequence Transcendent, but it has not been very effective.
Chen Wen and his team wouldn't risk their lives for such a minuscule possibility.
Zhao Hai ignored them and opened his car door, putting the supplies inside.
Seeing Zhao Hai get into the car, one of the men next to Chen Wen pursed his lips and asked, "Brother Wen, what do we do?"
Chen Wen was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "We can't try his method."
"Sequence awakening is truly uncontrollable and has no pattern! We can only pray that one day we'll be lucky enough to awaken as a sequence transcendent!"
Hearing Chen Wen's words, the faces of the group were filled with disappointment and dejection.
They were all high-spirited college students. Putting aside the benefits of becoming a Sequence Extraordinary, just considering the amazing abilities of each and every Sequence Extraordinary, who didn't dream of becoming one?
They also wanted to be the protagonists in the novel, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned! If Chen Wen hadn't been so clever, it would have been questionable whether they could have survived in this apocalyptic world.
They had previously inquired about the sequence awakening process of the other three extraordinary individuals in the convoy.
Without exception, they had tried to imitate what they could, but they didn't have any method to do so.
It's not about waking up suddenly after a nap, or perhaps an even more bizarre way of waking up.
Chen Wen would never consider Zhao Hai's method of awakening.
If we really encountered something supernatural, like in novels, where one could awaken between life and death, then not so many people would die at the hands of supernatural beings.
As for someone like Zhao Hai who managed to escape from the clutches of the supernatural, he's probably the only one out of ten thousand people.
"Okay! Brother Wen, we'll listen to you."
"Yeah! Brother Wen, if it weren't for you, we might not be alive today. Don't worry! We won't risk our lives for a chance that's almost zero!" The two men next to Chen Wen also chimed in.
"Yes! Even if we can't become sequence ability users, it won't affect our survival in this apocalypse!" Chen Wen quickly changed his mindset.
Zhao Hai was unaware of Chen Wen and the others' conversation, and even if he had overheard it, he wouldn't have cared.
He didn't have many thoughts about helping others; after all, while he wasn't a bad person, he was definitely not a saint.
If it weren't for the sake of that pound of rice, he wouldn't have bothered to make up those words.
After resting for about ten minutes, Xu Wenchu led the convoy to continue their migration.
It wasn't until 10 p.m. that Xu Wenchu found a place to spend the night.
"Aunt Zhou! Your cooking is really good! Captain Xu is so lucky!" Zhao Hai praised as he ate the dumplings in his bowl.
"Xiao Hai, you're exaggerating. I just added some of the seasonings you brought back. This hot pot is so delicious, all thanks to your seasonings!" Zhou Qingya said modestly.
"Hehe! Aunt Zhou, Mr. Zhao Hai was absolutely right. Even if you gave him the seasonings, most people couldn't make it taste this good!"
Su Wanyue's cousin is named Cao Xia, and she was the one who just spoke.
Although Cao Fang has an ordinary appearance, both she and Su Wanyue come from wealthy families, and Cao Fang has a high EQ.
Before the apocalypse, Cao Fang was a true racing enthusiast. Back then, when facing that strange little boy with a wooden bow, if it weren't for Cao Fang's driving skills, it would have been much more difficult for Su Wanyue to stop the little boy from shooting the wooden arrows.
Zhao Hai collected so many hot pot and mala tang seasonings today, and the others were all a little itchy to try them. So, at Su Wanyue's suggestion, the current atmosphere of the group eating hot pot together came about.
