Chapter 223 Resonating Conch
At this moment, the four little ones became the most tragic figures in the convoy.
After helping to handle the funeral arrangements for the deceased, Wang Hu quickly repaired the vehicles in the convoy. Fortunately, all the vehicles were quite sturdy.
He had previously installed a lot of anti-collision measures, and they have finally come in handy this time.
Yao Yao followed Wang Hu while keeping an eye on Dou Dou and the others.
She wanted to go and comfort her; she had been heartbroken when her mother and brother died.
As Doubao, Kaochang, and Wei Fuzi watched the stone chamber gradually close, tears welled up in their eyes.
They're so old yet they already understand the meaning of death.
"And me too!" DouDou repeated the words she had been repeating for a long time.
Its small body seems capable of bearing great responsibility.
Starting today, they have all lost their only source of emotional support.
In the apocalypse, even adults are numbly struggling between life and death.
The pain of separation is more pure and intense for a child whose heart is not yet fully hardened.
Chen Pei and Tang Jinxiu sat on the footboard of their RV.
Chen Pei wanted to say something, but he held back when he saw Tang Jinxiu's pale face.
She kept looking in DouDou's direction, her eyes revealing deep sympathy and bewilderment.
She didn't even have the strength to throw Chen Pei into the lake today, but she is still extraordinary!
She wondered why she had to be protected by Chen Pei all the time. Why wasn't she the one protecting Chen Pei?
She's clearly older!
He clearly needs protection more!
Xu Si withdrew his gaze, holding the constantly writhing, pitch-black "heart knot" in his hand.
The cool touch traveled through my palm, carrying a strange, almost soul-stirring heaviness.
Even though this thing had already fallen, it still made him feel drowsy.
"Heart of Winter".
After greeting Yi Yi, he immediately unbound [Heart of Winter].
Without much hesitation, he chose option one.
Integrating the "Heart Knot" into the "Heart of Winter" might give this long-time companion a qualitative leap. Xu Si is also looking forward to seeing how much of a chemical reaction the two will produce.
More importantly, he had a feeling that this lost item might be able to make up for some of the spiritual shortcomings of [Heart of Winter].
"System, upgrade 'Heart of Winter' using 'Heart Knot'."
Purification Points: -1700, Remaining Purification Points: 31270
[Time Limit: 3 hours]
The knot in his palm twitched as if it were alive, then transformed into a viscous black liquid that enveloped the icy blue Heart of Winter!
Even Xu Si's star-like eyes couldn't detect the change.
He had no choice but to place it in the passenger seat and begin upgrading the [Tidal Shell].
Purification Points: -1200, Remaining Purification Points: 30070
[Time Limit: 1 hours]
The Tidal Shell can be upgraded into a rare item called the Resonance Conch, which can compensate for Chen Pei's shortcomings in detection.
After all, this is not a water world, and Chen Pei's Thousand Snakes have been greatly weakened.
In the center of the camp, a campfire has been lit.
In the apocalypse, there aren't many other things, but rotting tree trunks are quite common.
Tashan built a simple stove out of rocks and cooked a porridge made of dried sweet potatoes and canned meat.
This was mainly made for the little ones, since they also lost loved ones today.
In addition, everyone has been eating dried sweet potatoes these past few days, so they need some oil to improve their digestive system.
The aroma of food diffused in the cold air, slightly dispelling the gloom brought by death.
Jiao Jiao carried a steaming bowl of porridge to Dou Dou and the others.
She didn't make a fuss as usual; time and hardship will also help a person grow.
"Have something hot to eat!" Su Su also came over with the food at some point, her voice still cool, but now much gentler.
Dou Dou raised her head, her eyes red and swollen, looked at the bowl in her hand, then at Su Su and Jiao Jiao, her lips moved but she didn't say anything.
The sausage next to him sobbed softly, while Doubao lowered his head, and Master Wei silently took the bowl.
"Grandma Xin definitely wants you all to be well," Jiao Jiao said, just like Su Su used to comfort her.
The three of them, including Doubao, all looked at Doudou.
Dou Dou nodded vigorously, picked up the bowl, and began to drink in small sips. She had to set a good example; she had to ensure that her younger siblings could survive.
The warm food slid into my stomach, bringing a slight, weak warmth.
The other three also slowly began to eat.
Fu Xiaojian immediately withdrew his gaze, and his worried expression gradually relaxed.
He wasn't afraid of feeding the little ones; what he feared was that the little ones would collapse, which would make it impossible for the entire convoy to continue.
That would cause immense damage to the team.
No one will keep watering flowers in the apocalypse.
Unless the flower itself takes root, grows green leaves, and sprouts branches.
Fortunately, they did not disappoint Fu Xiaojian.
As night deepened, the mountain wind howled.
The firelight flickered in the recesses of the rock wall, casting the shadows of the convoy members into varying lengths.
Xu Si leaned back in the driver's seat of "Nirvana," closed his eyes to rest, and sensed the ice-blue color that was slowly transforming from black to white on the passenger seat.
……
[Item upgrade complete]
Finally, a voice sounded in Xu Si's mind indicating that the upgrade of the artifact was complete.
In his hand now lay a fist-sized, pure white conch shell.
This thing looks like it was meticulously carved from jade.
It should be in a museum, not in his hands.
[Current Item: Resonating Conch]
[Ranking of Oddities: 1779]
【Features: All-encompassing, water ripple detection, mental ripples】
[Description: Blow it, listen to the secrets of the water, and sense the hidden ripples. (Note: Don't blow it in the dead of night unless you want to summon your deep-sea friends.)]
[Consideration: Occasional tinnitus]
[Comment: Where there's water, there's everything! (Note: You can even hold a grand ceremony in a snail shell!)]
This thing isn't ranked high, but it's definitely what Chen Pei needs most.
Because of its "all-encompassing" nature, it can hold at least 3 cubic meters of water, which is equivalent to the capacity of a miniature reservoir.
That's quite a show-off.
Although it can only hold water, that's enough.
This is exciting news for Chen Pei, who has left the world of water.
Furthermore, "Water Ripple Detection" and "Mental Ripple" are also very useful.
As long as it is an aquatic environment, Chen Pei no longer needs to rely on Wan She. 'Water Ripple Detection' has the same detection effect and is more detailed than Wan She.
"Mental ripples" are a characteristic of information transmission and are not specific to any particular aquatic environment.
It's not a one-way transmission like the Manda series, but a multi-way transmission.
As long as one's voice is within the sound wave range of the [Resonating Conch], everyone's voice can resonate and be transmitted.
Each of these three features is more practical than the last.
Even Xu Si felt a little reluctant to part with it.
However, this thing is obviously more useful to Chen Pei.
Xu Si couldn't come up with anything better to replace it at the moment.
We can only let this kid have it.
