Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse Chapter 39

From the moment they entered Longevity Village, Chen Ye had been constantly embroiled in various troubles.

While in Longevity Village, Chen Ye had focused solely on cocking his crossbow, firing bolt arrows, then cocking again and firing more bolt arrows.

At first, Chen Ye would still pay attention to the system prompts, but later on, he simply didn't have time to check the system notifications or see how many Slaughter Points he had accumulated.

He only knew that the bolt arrows soaked in black dog blood that he had painstakingly collected were almost gone.

Those bolt arrows had taken him a long time to accumulate.

Every time he encountered suitable branches, Chen Ye would take his machete to cut a couple, and over time he had gathered many black dog blood bolt arrows.

During the battle in Longevity Village, Chen Ye had even deliberately fired more bolt arrows to accumulate Slaughter Points.

He just never expected he would accumulate seven thousand Slaughter Points.

This number pleasantly surprised Chen Ye.

He had previously inquired about methods to awaken Sequence Superpowers.

The system's response was that it required three thousand Slaughter Points.

He had never saved up enough before, but this time with over seven thousand Slaughter Points, it was finally sufficient.

With over four thousand Slaughter Points remaining, he could properly upgrade his motor tricycle.

[System, I want to exchange for the method to awaken Sequence Superpowers!]

[Confirm exchange for Sequence Superpowers method?]

A prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Confirm!]

Chen Ye made the excited decision in his heart.

Soon, a rotating circle appeared on the system interface, resembling a phone's refresh screen.

Chen Ye waited with bated breath.

It took less than half a minute.

Words appeared before his eyes:

[Methods to awaken Sequence Superpowers include:

1: Natural awakening. Sequence Superpowers awakened through this method are also called innate Sequence Superpowers. These Sequence Superpower users are superior to other Sequence Superpower users.

2: Awaken through Sequence Serum. Sequence Serum belongs to a type of Sequence potion. Injecting Sequence Serum has a certain probability of awakening Sequence Superpowers!]

Seeing these two lines of text, Chen Ye was stunned for a long moment.

No way!

Three thousand Slaughter Points just for this information?

I already knew this stuff.

When communicating with Iron Lion before, Iron Lion had already educated him about this.

Natural awakening was out of the question - if he could awaken naturally, he would have done so long ago.

And Sequence Serum was even more difficult to obtain.

According to Nana, even before the apocalypse, the price of Sequence Serum was measured in billions.

And it was practically unavailable on the market!

Now he spent three thousand Slaughter Points just to get these two publicly known secrets?

Just as Chen Ye was about to curse, he suddenly felt something heavy appear in his hand.

A cool sensation appeared in his palm.

Without thinking, Chen Ye tightly gripped the cool object and cautiously looked around.

Under the scorching sunlight, the survivors were all busy with their own affairs, nobody paying attention to Chen Ye's situation.

Chen Ye slightly turned his body, using his peripheral vision to glance at the object in his hand.

A glass syringe appeared in his hand, containing flowing blue liquid that looked both mysterious and beautiful.

The moment he saw this object, one word instantly popped into Chen Ye's mind: "Sequence Serum!"

It was actually this thing!!!

After inquiring with the system, Chen Ye confirmed his suspicion.

This was indeed Sequence Serum!

Suppressing his excitement, Chen Ye looked around again.

The surroundings showed no changes whatsoever.

The survivors were still going about their business as usual.

Some were cooking, some were resting in tents, and others were whispering among themselves.

Pretending to have an urgent need to urinate, Chen Ye walked to a slightly distant spot, turned his back to everyone, and took out the Sequence Serum.

The deep blue liquid looked incredibly mysterious under the desert's harsh sunlight.

Without hesitation, Chen Ye raised his arm and injected the needle.

A slight stinging sensation spread.

Chen Ye slowly pushed the blue liquid into his body, feeling a cool sensation flowing through his veins.

Soon, every drop of the serum was completely injected into Chen Ye's body.

Only then did Chen Ye pull out the needle and carefully store the syringe.

Shaking himself slightly, Chen Ye turned and returned to sit by his motor tricycle.

He took out another cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and observed the changes around him.

Simultaneously, Chen Ye was also anticipating changes within his body.

There was no intense pain as he had imagined; instead, he felt quite comfortable.

Previously, due to running all night and getting drenched in rain, plus suddenly arriving in this high-temperature environment.

Chen Ye had felt some physical discomfort and thought he might fall seriously ill.

But when the Sequence Serum entered his body, Chen Ye felt that slight discomfort completely dissipate.

He never expected Sequence Serum to have such an effect.

Trying hard to sense the changes happening inside his body, Chen Ye didn't feel any sensation of gaining abilities.

Based on what he had learned from Iron Lion before.

After becoming a Sequence Superpower user, the body would undergo obvious changes and sensations.

But after injecting the Sequence Serum, he didn't notice anything at all.

This... what exactly was going on?

[System, why don't I feel anything? Did the awakening fail?]

Chen Ye inquired with the system in his heart.

The system quickly responded.

[Awakening in progress, please wait patiently, host!]

[How long until successful awakening?]

[Awakening in progress, please wait patiently, host!]

Chen Ye asked several different questions, but the system's responses remained "Awakening in progress, please wait patiently!"

Faced with this, Chen Ye had no better solution.

He could only wait.

Now he had figured out the system's characteristics.

If he was asking questions or exchanging for supplies.

The system had no cooldown time and would directly provide answers or items.

If he was upgrading items, then there would be waiting time.

Should he use Slaughter Points to directly exchange for an apocalypse base vehicle from the system?

This idea was quite tempting.

But it would probably require many Slaughter Points.

Chen Ye quickly verified his idea with the system.

The system could indeed exchange for an apocalypse base vehicle, but the required Slaughter Points were practically astronomical.

The long string of zeros was dizzying to look at.

The desert sun was scorching Chen Ye's scalp, the previous chill in his body having completely disappeared.

The sun in the sky was simply too intense.

Reaching out to touch the clothes he had hung by the vehicle earlier.

They were already mostly dry by now.

In such an environment, exposing large areas of skin for extended periods wasn't a wise decision.

Moreover, apart from a road sign, there wasn't even a single tree around.

Some survivors had somehow found tents and set them up, hiding inside.

Others were hiding in the shadow of the bus.

Some people had nowhere to hide at all and could only hide behind sand dunes, which was still better than being completely exposed on the sand.

The convoy had suffered significant losses during this trip to Longevity Village, with numbers visibly reduced by more than half compared to before.

Rummaging through his vehicle compartment, Chen Ye finally found a hooded sun protection jacket.

He had found this earlier in Xinghua Town, from the backpack of the fitness instructor he had killed.

As for pants, Chen Ye only found a pair of shorts.

The other pants were either too thick or women's clothing.

Besides the supplies collected from Longevity Village this time, Chen Ye's vehicle compartment contained many other items.

Among them were various types of clothing.

Most had been collected by that survivor named Jiajia.

That foolish woman, while gathering supplies in Xinghua Town, when others were collecting food, she had gone to browse clothing stores and brought back many clothes.

These had now become his property.

When trading supplies within the convoy before, other survivors had taken some, but many remained.

In the apocalypse, any supplies were extremely precious, so even the women's clothing he couldn't use, Chen Ye had kept.

Looking at these women's clothes, Chen Ye's eyes lit up slightly.

Why not use these clothes to make a sunshade curtain for his vehicle?

He had the system after all, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Thinking of doing it, Chen Ye quickly visualized the system interface.

Soon, the system's upgraded design blueprint appeared before Chen Ye.

A beautiful black sunshade canopy appeared before Chen Ye's eyes.

Extending from the vehicle compartment all the way to the front cockpit.

The black sunshade canopy could envelop the entire motor tricycle.

It even had rainproof functionality.

With rainproof capability, he wouldn't have to fear heavy rain like last night.

The sunshade canopy formed a relatively enclosed space for the vehicle compartment section.

There were even zippers to create a ventilated environment for the vehicle compartment.

The design was excellent.

But when Chen Ye saw the Slaughter Points required to make this sunshade canopy, he felt terrible.

It actually required over seven hundred Slaughter Points.

After exchanging for the Sequence Serum, he now had just over four thousand Slaughter Points left.

Spending over seven hundred Slaughter Points now really pained him.

No choice, he had to use the old method to save Slaughter Points.

Chen Ye began adjusting the design draft.

The black sunshade curtain didn't need to be that complicated.

With so many women's clothes on hand, he should try to use these to save Slaughter Points.

Chen Ye remembered seeing a design online before - some foreign design master had made a sofa using discarded jeans.

That jeans-patched sofa looked quite good and wasn't cheap either.

Chen Ye planned to borrow this idea to design his own sunshade canopy.

Soon, a brand new design draft was completed.

The new sunshade canopy was pieced together using various pants and clothing items.

The brand new sunshade canopy even had pants pockets on it.

That feature consumed too many Slaughter Points.

Besides, they had now entered the desert map, where rain was a low probability event.

Chen Ye modified the vehicle compartment into a semi-enclosed space.

Lowering the curtains on both sides of the vehicle compartment and zipping them up would create an enclosed space.

Rolling up the curtains would make the vehicle compartment an open space.

As for the cockpit area, after some thought, Chen Ye temporarily only kept the overhead sunshade curtain, omitting all other designs.

He would upgrade the cockpit later when he found suitable materials.

Ideally, he could find an abandoned car, which would save many Slaughter Points.

After completing the design, the system calculated it would only require over two hundred Slaughter Points, which satisfied Chen Ye.

[Confirm using two hundred fifty-two Slaughter Points to upgrade the sunshade curtain?]

Chen Ye looked around again, confirming nobody was paying attention to him, then mentally confirmed.

Over half of the women's clothes in the vehicle compartment instantly disappeared.

A sandglass countdown appeared above the motor tricycle.
