Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse Chapter 55

Chen Ye arrived at the camp completely exhausted.

The four all-terrain tires on the tricycle, along with their rims, were piled in the cargo bed, causing it to deform slightly.

And those two chopped pepper fish heads—when he parked, they bumped into the back of Chen Ye's vehicle due to inertia.

Many survivors cast envious glances toward Chen Ye.

Some even whispered among themselves.

One woman with a good figure bit her lower lip, seeming eager to approach Chen Ye.

This woman had always claimed to be the social butterfly of the convoy. Though not as beautiful as the Zhou sisters, she still made many men drool.

She had previously tried to win over Captain Chu Che, but without success.

Now seeing Chen Ye seemingly gaining influence, she turned her attention to him.

This migration was more exhausting than any before. Chen Ye had used his Smoke Breath ability twice just to keep up.

After parking the tricycle, Chen Ye's first action was to pull out a Ta cigarette and take a deep drag, savoring the nicotine's richness to relieve his fatigue.

As a seasoned smoker, his first thought when tired wasn't to rest but to have a smoke.

In the past, Chen Ye would have been more cautious since smoking damages health.

But after awakening to Sequence Superpowers, smoking's minor side effects could no longer harm him.

This left Chen Ye smoking without any reservations.

He casually checked his cigarette supply—at this rate, they probably wouldn't last a month.

"Yezi, you're back!"

Just as Chen Ye leaned against his vehicle to rest, Big Fool Iron Lion came looking for him.

Chen Ye offered a cigarette: "Want one?"

Iron Lion quickly waved his hand: "I don't smoke!"

After speaking, Iron Lion tossed a carton of Ta cigarettes to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye looked at this big fool in surprise.

Iron Lion grinned sheepishly: "Well, Yezi, if you have time, could you take a look at my vehicle?"

"My vehicle seems to have some problems."

Chen Ye glanced toward Iron Lion's tent nearby.

Several survivors were crawling under a vehicle with a flashlight, the light flickering constantly.

"Your vehicle already has problems so soon after getting it?"

Iron Lion showed a trace of frustration: "Yeah, the previous bus had issues from the start. We finally found this school bus, thinking it would be better, but it has problems too!"

"Our people have been checking for a long time but still can't find the issue!"

"That's why I thought of you—you're Mechanic Sequence, you must have a solution!"

Iron Lion's team had maintenance personnel who could handle minor problems internally.

But when they encountered issues even they couldn't solve, that's when Chen Ye's help was needed.

Hence Iron Lion brought the carton of Ta cigarettes.

"Is it serious?"

"The vehicle won't start, and even when it does start, it won't move properly... you'll understand when you see it."

Chen Ye thought for a moment, then pointed at his tricycle: "You saw today—I need to modify this tricycle first. I can help you after I finish."

Even though Iron Lion was on good terms with him, Chen Ye didn't plan to set aside his own tasks to help first.

If he didn't modify the tricycle soon, he probably couldn't continue with tomorrow's migration.

Iron Lion nodded: "No problem, focus on your own stuff first. I can manage!"

"Alright, Iron Lion, could you bring that engine over for me? I might need it!"

"No problem!"

Iron Lion left the cigarettes and departed.

After recovering some strength, Chen Ye struggled up to cook.

Only after eating his fill would Chen Ye have the energy to handle the upcoming tricycle upgrade and modification.

Using superpowers wasn't just about mental energy consumption—it also tested physical stamina.

While Chen Ye was eating, Iron Lion brought the engine over.

The massive steel heart made Chen Ye's eyelids twitch.

If it were him, even with his enhanced post-modification body far stronger than ordinary people's, he couldn't possibly carry such a steel heart.

But Iron Lion seemed much more relaxed about it.

After eating, Chen Ye began the upgrade and modification of his tricycle.

The previous 7,000+ Slaughter Points had left just over 4,000 after various modifications.

Looking at the 4,000+ Slaughter Points, Chen Ye felt troubled.

This small amount probably wasn't enough.

But Chen Ye quickly adjusted his mindset—upgrade first, then figure out the rest if it wasn't enough.

The system upgrade interface soon appeared before Chen Ye.

"System, I need to upgrade..."

Chen Ye planned to incorporate the chopped pepper fish head he brought back.

Along with this 2.0t engine removed from the Wood Man.

And those four all-terrain tires—all added to the tricycle.

The chopped pepper fish head was an electric vehicle. Combined with this 2.0t engine, they could assemble a hybrid fuel-electric vehicle.

In this apocalyptic situation, such a hybrid vehicle would absolutely be worth more than its cost.

Daytime sunlight was abundant every day. With an upgraded solar charging panel, he could ensure his electricity freedom.

Even if the chopped pepper fish head's power was somewhat weak, it would definitely be much stronger than his tricycle.

A new design blueprint soon appeared before him.

Just looking at this design blueprint made Chen Ye drool.

The chopped pepper fish head replaced the previous motorcycle tricycle front.

The previous cargo bed became a carriage connected to the chopped pepper fish head.

Perhaps to fit that 2.0t steel heart, even the chopped pepper fish head's front fascia was lengthened, making it look much more imposing.

To accommodate those four all-terrain wheel rims and tires, the chopped pepper fish head's body was also raised significantly.

The chopped pepper fish head's original four small wheels were directly swapped to the rear carriage.

The entire vehicle now had eight wheels.

But under the system's design, the vehicle didn't look ugly—instead it appeared quite domineering, perfectly suited to the current apocalyptic backdrop.

One could even say it was a vehicle specifically crafted for the apocalypse.

The chopped pepper fish head had undergone massive changes, completely unrecognizable from its original form as a city commuter car.

Even the body lines had become much more rugged.

The tricycle had transformed into an apocalyptic pickup truck.

Chen Ye looked at it until he drooled.

If he possessed such a vehicle...

Regardless of its internal configuration, just its appearance could surpass Captain Chu and the long-legged girl's modified off-road vehicles by eight blocks.

But when Chen Ye saw the Slaughter Points required for modification, he became utterly depressed.

Damn...

It actually required over twenty thousand Slaughter Points!

As for what numbers followed the "2," Chen Ye didn't bother looking.

The required Slaughter Points were simply too exaggerated.

Chen Ye's heart felt like cats were scratching it—the Slaughter Points were completely insufficient.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Ye, and an excited expression instantly appeared on his face.

"System, how many Slaughter Points can I borrow now?"

He had previously borrowed three hundred Slaughter Points and repaid them on time, establishing good credit.

Maybe his limit had increased, and he could borrow more now.

The system interface showed a spinning circle, seemingly assessing Chen Ye's creditworthiness.
