Post-Apocalyptic Highway Survival: I Have a Sequence Caravan

Chapter 38: Escaping from the Strange Beings - There's Even a Sign-in Point?

Upon hearing this, Li Meier's eyes lit up; the crossbow bolt that Zhao Hai had given her was exactly what she had in mind.

What are ordinary people afraid of?

Surprising!

When ordinary people encounter something strange, they have no way to harm it.

The crossbow bolt that Zhao Hai gave her was exactly what she wanted; it would greatly increase the sisters' survival rate when encountering strange occurrences.

"Zhao Hai, could I have two of these crossbow bolts?" Li Meier tried to bargain with Zhao Hai.

"Miss Li, your idea is really good. You should take this idea with you into your dreams! Then, you'll have more than just two crossbow bolts, you could have tens of thousands of them." Zhao Hai didn't hold back at all and directly mocked her.

Seeing Zhao Hai's attitude of driving her away, Li Meier panicked a little, afraid that Zhao Hai would not trade the crossbow bolt. She immediately said, "Zhao Hai, one crossbow bolt is fine."

Zhao Hai didn't hesitate, immediately taking out a crossbow bolt he had poisoned and handing it to her, while reminding her:

"Don't touch the arrow, or don't blame me if you die!"

Zhao Hai's Poison Hand ability, after storing toxins, will multiply the toxicity of the original toxins when it is transformed and released.

"Okay! Thank you for the reminder, Zhao Hai!" Li Meier carefully accepted the crossbow bolts that Zhao Hai handed over.

Then, Li Meier took out pesticide and wood ash from her chest bag and handed them to Zhao Hai.

Seeing Zhao Hai accept the pesticide and wood ash, Li Meier asked him:

"Zhao Hai, if we find any more poisonous creatures in the future, could we exchange these crossbow bolts with you again?"

"Sure, and by the way, I just want poison. I don't care where your poison comes from. As long as you have enough poison, I'll give you crossbows."

Furthermore, next time you come to trade, you can't exchange this little bit of poison for crossbow bolts with me; you'll need at least three times the amount you had this time!

"Okay! I understand! Thank you very much, Zhao Hai!" Li Meier replied.

Looking at the pesticides and wood ash in his hand, Zhao Hai was quite satisfied.

To him, a poisoned crossbow bolt was worthless, less important than supplies, but to the ordinary survivors, it was extremely important.

……

On the other side, the Li sisters, back in their car, were also full of excitement.

"Sister, this trip was really worth it. We only brought back some pesticides and wood ash, and we were able to trade them for this crossbow. We really made a profit!"

I'm afraid Zhao Hai never imagined that when we went to that agricultural supply store, these pesticides and wood ash were right in front of us, and we just casually took some.

"We've really struck gold this time! It's perfect time to get revenge on Zhao Hai for cheating us out of our rice last time!" Li Jiao'er felt a sense of satisfaction at having gotten her revenge.

"No! Jiao'er, no matter what, Zhao Hai won't lose out! He's an extraordinary being, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him to use some tricks on this crossbow bolt!"

"It's like asking a college student to do elementary school problems; it's not difficult at all," Li Meier sighed.

"I was so surprised. I thought it would be difficult for Zhao Hai to get such crossbow bolts!" Li Jiao'er said with disappointment.

"If he had a hard time getting this crossbow bolt, he wouldn't have given it to us."

The fact that he could use these crossbow bolts to trade with us instead of supplies shows that these bolts weren't difficult for him to obtain. Perhaps in his eyes, the value of these bolts was less important than that of supplies.

After all, superhumans have plenty of ways to deal with these strange phenomena, while we ordinary people are completely helpless.” Although she had guessed it, Li Meier's face still showed helplessness. What could they do when they weren't superhumans?

"By the way, Jiao'er, do you know why I didn't ask Zhao Hai for supplies in the first place, but instead asked for a promise from him?"

"Zhao Hai is an extraordinary being. Sister, isn't it perfectly normal for you to ask him for a promise to help us?"

"No, my dear, you must remember that in the end times, the last thing you should trust is someone else's promise."

"If Zhao Hai had agreed without even thinking about it, then the pesticides we brought back would have been given to him for nothing. He agreed to such a promise without even considering it."

Therefore, he will never keep or acknowledge this promise in the future.

"To think we can get a superhuman to help us in the future with just these few things is to be underestimating them. He only agreed because he wants to get something for nothing."

"If that's the case, then why did you tell Zhao Hai to exchange those things for his promise?" Li Jiao'er asked, puzzled.

"Because I want to get to know him! If he agrees on the spot, it means that he has no bottom line and cannot be trusted."

If he refuses, it means he still has his bottom line! In this apocalypse, there aren't many people who can still uphold their principles!

……

After returning to the car, Zhao Hai immediately took out the pesticide and wood ash he had obtained from Li Meier.

After opening it, I directly absorbed the toxins with my own hands.

Sure enough! The more toxins absorbed, the more his hands were strengthened.

This time, he absorbed more than twice the amount of toxins as last time, and Zhao Hai could clearly feel that his hands had been strengthened again.

However, these toxins were still too little for Zhao Hai.

Not only could he not fully utilize the power of his poisonous hand technique, but he also could not cultivate the Heavenly Poison Sword Scripture.

The Heavenly Poison Sword Manual's techniques are related to one's own poisonous hand abilities.

To cultivate the first level of the Heavenly Poison Sword Scripture, one must ensure that the quantity and quality of toxins absorbed by one's Poison Hand ability reach saturation.

He then used the toxins stored in his own hands to temper his limbs, giving them extreme toxicity and strength.

Zhao Hai estimated that if he were to successfully cultivate the first level of the Heavenly Poison Sword Scripture, the strength of his limbs would likely reach an unimaginable level.

"It really is a long and arduous journey!" Zhao Hai sighed helplessly.

He still had a vague sense of the quantity and quality of toxins that could be stored in his hands.

With his current toxin reserves, he's still far from enough!

Soon, it was already past midnight.

"Ding! Sign-in successful! 11 sign-in points gained! (Note: The host successfully escaped from the two monsters! Six more sign-in points will be awarded!)"

Balance: 16 points!

Holy crap! I never thought that after becoming a superhuman and escaping from the clutches of the monster, I would actually get extra sign-in points. These extra sign-in points are more than I get from signing in every day!
