Chapter 360 Joint Team
Inside Fu Wanhao's luxury RV at the Marriott motorcade campsite.
The old man sat cross-legged on the leather chair, in front of him were three strangely fallen objects that had completely lost their luster, looking like three ordinary stones.
His brows were furrowed, as if he was deliberately plotting something.
"Dad." A clear, cold female voice rang out from outside the car.
"Come in."
The car door opened, and Fu Ruoxue bent down and climbed into the car.
She was extremely beautiful, with a sense of aloofness in her eyes that was beyond her years. Standing there, she was like a piece of snow falling in the wind.
"Any results?" Fu Wanhao asked, as if he were asking his assistant.
Fu Ruoxue sat down opposite her father, her gaze sweeping over the three strangely fallen, ineffective items, without asking any further questions.
"Yes, but not many..."
"explain"
"The Salvation Train Team, currently Sequence 002. Based on the reports from the past few days and our brief contact just now, this team has at least ten core members. The exact number of Sequence 4 extraordinary beings is unknown, but there are at least three. As for that Xu Si..."
"It is very likely sequence 5."
Fu Wanhao's eyes narrowed slightly.
"So you mean we don't even have a way to restrain him?" Fu Wanhao knew his situation; he, a Sequence 5, had no chance of winning against Xu Si, a Sequence 5.
"If we use that thing..." Fu Ruoxue didn't finish her sentence.
Fu Wanhao's expression grew even colder.
The price of that strange object was something even he couldn't afford.
A brief silence fell over the car.
Fu Wanhao suddenly smiled, a shrewdness typical of businessmen appearing on his kind face.
"Ruoxue, what do you think of this person?"
Fu Ruoxue frowned slightly; she knew all too well what her father was thinking.
"What does Father want?"
"Aren't you tempted by a Sequence 5 with unparalleled power?"
Fu Ruoxue was speechless.
She knew her father's character all too well; to him, she, his own daughter, was nothing more than a beautifully packaged commodity.
"Ruoxue, before the apocalypse, our Fu family was the richest family, but do you know how many people we were desperate to curry favor with?"
"What about after the apocalypse? Although we are ahead of ordinary people, neither of us belongs to the group that relies on strength. Without strength, we are nothing in the apocalypse! I just want to find someone for you to rely on." Fu Wanhao said as if he himself believed it.
Fu Ruoxue lowered her eyelids, realizing that what her father said was both an explanation and a fact.
"I see."
"Good to know. When you meet her tomorrow, be more proactive. With Ruoxue's looks, I believe no man can resist her."
Fu Wanhao's face returned to its kind and benevolent expression.

As night deepened, the campfires on both sides of the valley burned down to only dark red embers.
Li Miao huddled in the back seat of the Hummer, his eyes closed, rehearsing the route he would take later in his mind over and over again.
It has two bug-level perception-type sequence extraordinary individuals, Xu Si and Xiao Luo.
With Xu Si's [Cloak of Concealment] reaching 1627, Li Miao had almost no chance of failing.
"Brother Dao... I'll go then." Li Miao took a deep breath.
Without waiting for a response, he pushed open the car door, his body shrouded in mist, and crouched down to disappear into the night.
He moved swiftly along the shadows at the edge of the camp, his steps as light as a cat's.
Li Miao did not alert anyone.
Thirty meters.
Fifty meters.
Eighty meters.
The clearing deliberately left between the two camps now stretched out endlessly beneath his feet.
He could feel the glow of the campfire from the Marriott convoy, see the faint, flickering figures of those on duty, and hear snippets of conversation carried on the wind.
My heart is pounding.
But he didn't stop.
-
Li Miao didn't look towards the center of the convoy; if he were looking for ordinary people, he would just look at the peripheral figures.
He had his eye on an ordinary person who was on night watch.
Li Miao was quite excited as he used illusion magic in actual combat for the first time.
"Cloud Cover"
The sequence feature activates silently.
A faint mist emanated from Li Miao's fingertips, silently enveloping the young man.
The man's hand holding the gun paused slightly, his eyes momentarily unfocused before returning to normal.
He didn't use any fancy techniques; the clouds silently enveloped the ordinary man with the gun.
Without his knowledge.
The darkness of night provided the best cover.
"It's done."
Li Miao was secretly delighted. He emerged from the shadows and slowly walked up to the man.
The mystery of illusion lies in this—in that person's perception, he still faithfully performs his duties, and even after waking up, he will not feel anything unusual.
Within the Star Pulse, Xu Si was also constantly monitoring the movements of the other members of the Marriott team.
"What's your name?" Li Miao asked in a low voice.
"Liu... Liu Chuang." The man's voice was slightly wooden, and his eyes stared blankly into the void.
"How long have you been with the Marriott fleet?"
"Before the apocalypse... I worked for Marriott International."
Li Miao was delighted; this was an old man.
They must know quite a bit of inside information.
Over the next ten minutes, under the cover of illusion, he extracted a large amount of information from Liu Chuang.
The Marriott motorcade consists of seventeen extraordinary individuals, plus ordinary people, for a total of fifty people.
"You mean you're a joint team comprised of two different teams?"
"Yes, the Blade Team joined later! They also provided our weapons!" Liu Chuang continued.
This surprised Xu Si somewhat.
"What tiers are the top combatants in your team?" Li Miao asked after noting down the key information.
"Blade Leader is a Sequence 4 - Assassin, Miss is a Sequence 4 - Pharmacist, Jiang Ling is a Sequence 4 - Ferryman, and Misu is a Sequence 4 - Real Painter."
"Where is Fu Wanhao?"
"I don't know, we've never seen the boss use his special abilities!"
Xu Si heard it clearly, which made sense.
However, the fact that none of the Sequence 5 players had made a move surprised Xu Si.
So what kind of shameful sequence is this?
Or is there some unavoidable predicament?
For example, the cost?
The most important question remained unasked, leaving Li Miao momentarily at a loss for what to ask.
"Ask him about the medicine," Xu Si reminded him through spiritual perception sharing.
"Does your convoy still have any medicine? Who has it?" Li Miao continued to ask.
"There should still be some; our convoy can exchange battle merits for potions."
"What kinds of potions can I exchange for?"
"Awakening potions, enhancement potions, and recovery potions—that's all I know about."
Liu Chuang answered almost every question, which was enough.
Even if a Sequence 4 pharmacist has mastered fewer potions, they will certainly have more than three.
In other words, other medicines are relatively rare and are not even circulated within the caravan.
This piqued Xu Si's interest somewhat.
Just as Li Miao was about to ask more questions, Xu Si noticed something amiss.
The people on night watch at the Marriott motorcade suddenly became agitated, as if they were gathering.
"Why are they acting strangely?" Li Miao seemed to have also sensed something was wrong and asked one last question.
"We have occasional situation updates! It's time for our update!"
"Li Miao, come back!" Xu Si said, and Li Miao's figure had already completely disappeared.
Before the Marriott team could react, they had already returned to their own team.
