CHAPTER 277: CHAPTER 125 "GERMINATION" AND "WEATHER ENHANCEMENT"_2

This madness has spread across many main roads, with a radiation range that is exceptionally vast.

Zhang Feng’s convoy mostly takes small paths.

But even on these obviously less trafficked paths, the occasional bomb crater can still be seen.

This makes detours a common occurrence for the convoy.

During this time, Zhang Feng also realized that although the roads on the map were passable, they were not detailed enough to clearly mark every route.

The bandits focused more on marking the locations of small bases and identifying the best paths to reach these bases.

However, Zhang Feng didn’t want to interact with so many bases to avoid any time-consuming conflicts.

So they would make detours if possible, otherwise, if they got into a conversation, it could take half a month to resolve.

How could they cover 900 li in three days?

These 900 li had a dozen or so small bases.

On the fifth day of the convoy’s journey.

Afternoon.

The convoy arrived beneath a large bridge for a temporary rest.

Running on the road, even with rotating shifts, was quite exhausting.

So every other day, they would stop to take a break.

"Exhausted, absolutely exhausted..."

Bearded Man crawled out of the vehicle, and even though it was hot outside and not as comfortable as the air-conditioned interior, he lay sprawled in the shadow of the bridge, stretching his limbs vigorously.

Whoosh—

Most of the others did the same.

Lying on the ground without any concern for cleanliness or appearance, they rolled around to ’massage’ their waists.

Along with the sun’s temperature in this hellish weather, they felt the cold air from the air conditioning dissipate significantly from their bodies.

Because the caravans of these post-apocalyptic bandits were indeed excellent, with superior sunshade fabric—though still ’heat-concentrating’, its ’heating’ effect was not as intense.

The temperature inside the vehicles generally stayed around 20 degrees.

"Come and help!"

Meanwhile, a few men and women gathered around a large pot, cooking a cleaned Sun Beast.

It looked similar to an ordinary deer, but was larger.

Zhang Feng had caught it on the road, and the energy it contained was enough to feed the convoy for five days.

"There’s salt in the car."

Zhang Feng, just waking up, got off the car at this moment.

For the past few days, Zhang Feng had been awake at night, watching over the convoy.

Because during the night, Sun Beasts were more active.

During the day, with higher visibility, both beasts and people could be detected and warned of by the convoy in advance.

Hence, Zhang Feng slept during the relatively safer daylight hours.

Inadvertently, things reversed.

"Brother Zhang!"

"Boss!"

Seeing Zhang Feng come down, everyone greeted him.

Zhang Feng nodded slightly and then looked towards the text.

Just then, when his constitution reached 126, a few lines of text suddenly appeared.

...

[You’ve reached a constitution of 126, the descriptor flaw of the magical potato has been remedied]

[You have successfully sprouted]

[Sprouted: Growth-type descriptor]

[Effect 1: Your resistance to UV rays is additionally increased to 70%, and temperature resistance is increased by 30%]

[Effect 2: As long as you accumulate more than three hours of sunbathing each day, your constitution will increase by +0.05]

’I’ve sprouted?’

Zhang Feng was momentarily taken aback, then looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist.

Through its mirrored reflection.

Zhang Feng saw no changes in his appearance, but his body’s external perception didn’t feel as hot anymore.

This was a good thing, at least it was less uncomfortable.

Additionally, 0.05 per day, over nine months, a 13-point increase in constitution was also an extra delight.

So, it was time to find some ’sunbathing’ time.

Thinking this through.

In the somewhat astonished gaze of the others, Zhang Feng walked out of the shade and stood completely under the sun.

Enjoying the intense sunlight.

Previously, it came with an awkward sensation of blistering heat.

Because under normal circumstances, the temperature was 60 degrees, and under direct sunlight, it could be even higher.

A normal person couldn’t withstand it, quickly developing heatstroke symptoms and then fainting, dehydrating, and burning to death.

Even though Zhang Feng’s constitution was above average, allowing him to resist most of the UV radiation and heat, it was still quite uncomfortable.

But at this moment.

Zhang Feng not only didn’t feel uncomfortable, but he also felt a bit of warmth and a tiny bit of comfortable heat.

This ’small heat’ felt like taking a bath in comfortably warm water.

The people cooking, seeing Zhang Feng enjoying the sun so leisurely, completely froze in their cooking actions.

"Is Lame Grandpa crazy?"

’I’ve always said he isn’t human...’

’Damn... Incredible... Incredible...’

They were filled with awe, but after thinking it over, since Brother Zhang could lift a small car, basking in a super sun now seemed fitting?

Superhumans basking in super suns, this seemed quite reasonable too?

...

In the evening, after having dinner and resting a bit.

Everyone set out again on their journey.

This time taking a dirt road outside a town.

Although there were some vehicles on the road, they had all been cleared to the roadside as if by someone.

But as they continued, when night fell and the convoy reached a fork in the road, a few trucks blocked the way.

Meanwhile, in the middle vehicles of the convoy.

Zhang Feng opened the window, taking a glance outside.

"Brother Zhang, there’s a car ahead..."

The report from personnel in the vehicle ahead crackled through the radio.

"Hmm, stay alert."

Zhang Feng sensed something was off, like a bandit roadblock, thus he spoke while stepping off the vehicle.

Meanwhile, ahead.

Swoosh—

The headlights of several large cars suddenly lit up, and more than thirty people armed with knives and sticks quickly descended from the vehicles, standing on both sides of the road.

In the gaze of the car lights, the junction between the road and the roadside glinted with a few shining points.

There lay numerous nails and sharp iron sheets, alongside carefully disguised pitfall traps.
