Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse Chapter 19
Now it was already early November, and the weather was turning cool.
Even riding on his motor tricycle, Chen Ye could feel the chill in the breeze brushing against his face.
During the next supply run, it would be best to gather some warm clothing.
Otherwise, when winter came, they might freeze to death outright.
Also, the motor tricycle needed modifications.
Find some suitable parts to add a canopy over the cargo bed, creating an enclosed space.
The front section needed a canopy too.
Chen Ye never wanted to experience that miserable feeling from the rainy days before again.
Calculating it all, the number of Slaughter Points needed was no small amount.
Fortunately, this time Chen Ye had prepared enough bolt arrows.
Once they reached Longevity Village and went on a killing spree, he should be able to acquire quite a few Slaughter Points.
Although Chen Ye's motor tricycle couldn't compare to the comfort of off-road vehicles and buses,
it was still much better than what many others had.
The new survivors who joined last night only had one car and two motorcycles.
The remaining people basically had no means of transportation.
They didn't even have a single bicycle.
Fortunately, the convoy didn't travel very fast during daily movement.
Even those traveling on foot could keep up.
Iron Lion's bus was packed full of people again.
Back in Xinghua Town, the bus had lost nearly half its occupants.
With last night's personnel supplement, the bus was now completely full.
You had to admit, this big guy was still quite soft-hearted.
As for Chu Che and Nana's off-road vehicle, they hadn't taken in any newcomers.
Their vehicle maintained the three-person configuration.
Meanwhile, Chen Ye's motor tricycle had attracted attention from quite a few people.
However, given Chen Ye's previous attitude, many people felt wary of him, so no excessive trouble arose.
The first day's journey ended just like that.
It wasn't until evening that Chu Che led the convoy to find a safe shelter.
A blood moon had quietly risen in the sky at some point, dyeing the world with a faint blood-red hue.
The dinner provided in the evening was still plain rice porridge with pickled vegetables.
But compared to yesterday's, tonight's porridge was much thinner, so thin you could almost see your reflection in it.
Many people voiced dissatisfied protests.
Chu Che responded with just one sentence: "Anyone who's unhappy is free to leave at any time."
Chen Ye still used his clumsy cooking skills to prepare himself a dinner.
Even though it didn't taste particularly good, many people still salivated over Chen Ye's meal.
Large chunks of cured meat and generous portions of rice made many people envious.
Not far away, a pair of venomous eyes occasionally glanced in this direction.
Whenever Chen Ye looked over, he only saw faces pretending nothing was wrong.
Chen Ye frowned. Apart from that grandmother and grandson pair, he shouldn't have offended anyone else.
Who could hold such hatred toward him?
This definitely couldn't be his imagination.
He still slept in the cargo bed at night.
The bed was padded with clothes, making it quite comfortable for sleeping.
Lighting a cigarette, he blew out smoke rings, the nicotine easing the fatigue of the day.
It had been many days since he last bathed.
It seemed he had almost forgotten the refreshing sensation of hot water washing over his body.
If he could find a place to bathe, it would be a true luxury.
Before the apocalypse, Chen Ye basically bathed every day.
Now, Chen Ye felt like certain parts of his body had even developed a "patina" from lack of washing.
Before Chen Ye could fall asleep, Old Bao arrived.
"Mr. Chen, Captain Chu requests your presence for a meeting!"
Chen Ye followed Old Bao to the convoy's largest tent.
Several people were already seated inside the tent.
Captain Chu Che, the young sword immortal Nana, and the two-meter-tall giant Iron Lion.
Iron Lion's severed arm had now completely regenerated.
Was this the innate ability of the Titan Sequence?
Such incredible regenerative power!
"Chen Ye, you're here! Come sit quickly!"
Iron Lion patted the spot beside him with a simple, honest gesture, signaling Chen Ye to sit down.
Perhaps because back in Xinghua Town, when everyone was fleeing, Chen Ye dared to shoot that arrow, this big guy had developed a favorable impression of him.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the meeting quickly began.
"Among these newly joined survivors, that woman named Xu Jiaojiao is quite troublesome. From what I know, she was an online feminist blogger before the apocalypse."
"This Xu Jiaojiao has already gathered over a dozen people in the camp, seemingly planning something."
Chu Che said this while pouring Chen Ye a cup of tea.
Captain Chu's words were measured and calm, as if discussing something completely unrelated.
The gentle expression on his face showed little change.
Nana said with some dissatisfaction, "I can't believe even in the apocalypse, these people still won't settle down."
"This is the apocalypse now, the world is completely different from before."
"Iron Lion, Chen Ye, what do you think about this matter?"
Iron Lion scratched his head and chuckled, "Whatever you decide is fine, I'll follow your lead, hehe..."
Nana rolled her beautiful eyes and turned to look at Chen Ye.
Chen Ye grinned, "Just a bunch of clowns. This is the post-apocalyptic world now - without extraordinary sequences, these people probably wouldn't survive a single day!"
"Captain Chu, you're not just calling us here for this, are you?"
Chen Ye drank Captain Chu's tea in one gulp.
You had to understand, in the current situation, getting to drink tea wasn't easy.
Therefore, every time he visited the captain, Chen Ye always operated on the principle of drinking as much as he could while he had the chance.
The other two probably thought the same way.
Their teacups were already empty too.
Captain Chu Che pretended not to notice.
Supplies like tea leaves were scarce now, even for him.
"Indeed, that's not the main reason. According to my estimates, we should reach Longevity Village tomorrow morning!"
"I called you here to discuss tomorrow morning's plan."
Hearing they would soon reach a supply point, everyone's expressions became slightly more serious.
You had to understand, towns and villages from before the apocalypse had all become human exclusion zones, filled with endless dangers.
A single misstep could mean certain death.
Like what happened in Xinghua Town before.
The entire convoy had been reduced by half.
Chu Che took out a radio and began fiddling with it in front of everyone.
Chen Ye was somewhat confused.
Wait, weren't you supposed to be talking about Longevity Village? Why suddenly bring out a radio?
This is so abstract?
Noticing Chen Ye's curious gaze,
the young swordswoman Nana explained from beside him: "This is the Eavesdropping Radio, numbered 01257, it's a Wonder."
"You can think of it as... well... an apocalypse magical artifact!"
"Wonders often possess incredible abilities. The captain's Eavesdropping Radio is quite miraculous."
The young swordswoman explained while looking enviously at the radio.
"Numbered?"
Chen Ye asked curiously while watching Chu Che manipulate the radio.
"Yes, the numbers also represent rankings. The top hundred Wonders all have incredible abilities."
"The captain's is ranked beyond the thousand mark, but even so, it's quite an extraordinary treasure. You'll understand in a moment."
