Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse Chapter 74

Seeing the system display showing he actually had over thirty thousand Slaughter Points, Chen Ye felt his entire world brighten up. Even the blood moon hanging high in the sky seemed festive to him.

Over thirty thousand Slaughter Points would definitely allow his strength to leap forward significantly.

Whether it was upgrading and modifying his vehicle, or enhancing his personal power.

It should be more than enough.

He had endured enough of those days lacking Slaughter Points.

As for the ten thousand Slaughter Points he owed the system, Chen Ye had no intention of paying it back for now.

Let it remain as debt for the time being.

It's not like the system could actually kill him, right?

Then there were those Magic Potion Capsules...

He wanted it all.

Oh right, when he killed that Human-Faced Scorpion earlier.

Chen Ye clearly saw that when the Human-Faced Scorpion died, a wisp of gray mist was absorbed by the Blood Resentment Machete.

Remembering the Blood Resentment Machete's third characteristic - the ability to absorb resentment energy and accumulate it to trigger qualitative changes.

He hadn't had time to check it before.

Chen Ye pulled the machete from his waist.

Using the bloody moonlight, Chen Ye brought his right eye close to examine it.

The machete's overall appearance hadn't changed much, still looking roughly the same as before.

Wait...

This Blood Resentment Machete seemed... to have undergone some changes again.

For example, the patterns on the blade had gained some subtle dark lines that he wouldn't have noticed without his exceptional eyesight.

Reaching out to touch the machete's blade, he felt a cold sensation.

Information about the machete appeared in his mind.

【Blood Resentment Machete: 「Number: 04880」】

4880?

The number advanced by one?

This...

This actually worked?

Chen Ye suddenly realized that among all the Wonder materials he possessed, the Binding Resentment Willow branch might be the most underestimated existence.

Even if it contained just a tiny bit of the Binding Resentment Willow's characteristics, it was enough to significantly increase this machete's value.

If he got the chance in the future, making another trip to Longevity Village wouldn't be out of the question.

Satisfied, he inserted the machete back behind his waist.

A bonfire was lit not far away.

Captain Chu Che waved at Chen Ye.

On the other side, a pink-haired girl also gave Chen Ye a casual greeting.

Seemed like it was time to eat.

Chen Ye swayed over to his pickup truck, climbed into the back seat of the cabin, grabbed a bag of flour, thought for a moment, then took out the remaining cured meat from before.

This cured meat had been sitting in the vehicle for many days.

Because his cooking skills were so poor, he was afraid of wasting these good ingredients and had been reluctant to eat them.

Now that someone else was cooking, it wasn't unreasonable to share.

Fortunately, it had been preserved, otherwise it would have spoiled long ago.

With a swift motion of his blade, Chen Ye split the cured meat in two, wrapped up the slightly larger portion, and carried the remaining part in his hand.

From start to finish, not a single trace of grease stuck to the machete's blade.

If Chu Che knew Chen Ye was using a Wonder like this, he'd probably be hopping mad and cursing.

Finally, Chen Ye rummaged in the back seat and found some potatoes.

Only then did he head toward the bonfire, swaying with a cigarette in his mouth.

Along the way, many survivors salivated looking at the supplies in Chen Ye's hands.

Even if it was just cured meat, many people hadn't tasted meat in a long time.

"Old Bao, this is my share of the meal!"

Chen Ye handed his supplies to Old Bao.

Seeing so many ingredients, Old Bao's eyes curved into crescent shapes as he smiled.

"Good, good, good, don't worry, I'll remember it all!"

There was also a bag on the side, clearly brought by the pink-haired girl.

"If you're not enthusiastic about eating, there must be something wrong with your head!"

The pink-haired girl raised her beer can toward Chen Ye in greeting.

Chen Ye completely ignored the pink-haired girl's teasing and instead went to sit by the bonfire.

"How much have you drunk? To get this drunk?"

The pink-haired girl's face was flushed red: "Hehe... just one can!"

"One can and you're this drunk? That can't be real, can it?"

Chen Ye was astonished by the girl's poor alcohol tolerance.

No wonder this woman still had alcohol to drink up to now.

This explained why she always seemed drunk whenever he saw her.

He remembered back in school, one of his dorm mates could drink a case of beer as a baseline.

This pink-haired girl's alcohol tolerance was simply too poor, practically an insult to the term "drinker."

"Who says you can't enjoy drinking just because you have poor alcohol tolerance?"

The pink-haired girl said stubbornly.

"She loves to drink, but has terrible tolerance!"

Captain Chu explained from the side.

Chen Ye shrugged, indicating "whatever makes you happy."

"Iron Lion is still unconscious, probably won't wake up for a while. Today it's just the three of us eating."

"This is Auntie Qu, she has good cooking skills, I've tried it. Let's have her cook for us from now on."

The middle-aged woman lifted her face and gave Chen Ye a friendly smile.

This woman appeared to be around fifty years old. Although she looked somewhat unkempt, her demeanor didn't seem ordinary, giving off an elegant and dignified feeling.

Chen Ye didn't object, only feeling that this middle-aged woman looked somewhat familiar.

Chu Che noticed Chen Ye's expression and explained: "Auntie Qu used to run a chain of restaurants. With her in charge of cooking, we'll eat well from now on."

With this reminder, Chen Ye remembered.

This woman used to operate a restaurant chain, with quite a legendary life story. Starting from a small snack shop, she eventually became nationally famous, with assets reaching billions. She was a nationally renowned inspirational female entrepreneur.

The reason Chen Ye found her familiar was because she was quite high-profile and had appeared on two variety shows.

He never expected she would become their personal chef now.

After the apocalypse, people's life circumstances had truly changed dramatically.

"Ah... that's all in the past. Being able to survive now is already satisfying enough."

The middle-aged woman sighed slightly, her eyes filled with nothing but helplessness.

After finishing cooking, the woman silently left.

The meal was naturally very enjoyable, much better than what Chen Ye could cook himself.

The entire eating process only took thirty minutes.

They didn't even leave any soup at the bottom of the pot.

The survivors drinking potato porridge nearby were swallowing their saliva furiously.

After the sandstorm, their daily meals had become even worse.

They could barely maintain basic sustenance.

But no one had any complaints about this.

Today, they had personally witnessed the terror of the Human-Faced Anomaly.

If it were ordinary people, they would have been devoured by that Human-Faced Scorpion long ago.

After the incident with the Human-Faced Scorpion.

The survivors understood even more clearly the gap between themselves and Sequence Superpower users.

Xu Lina looked at the few potato pieces and thin porridge in her bowl, then glanced at the abundant meal not far away, feeling her mouth water uncontrollably.

Waves of meat aroma drifted over, making Xu Lina's heart feel as if being scratched by cats.

She had never found meat aroma so appealing before.

But now... if Chen Ye would give her a piece of meat, she would be willing to move into Chen Ye's pickup truck right now.

"Lina, keep trying, I believe you can definitely win over Chen Ye, keep it up!"

Xu Lina drank the porridge in her bowl in one gulp, her eyes growing even more determined.

...

Chen Ye was just about to take out a cigarette to cut through the greasiness when he realized the previous pack had fallen in the vehicle.

Chu Che casually tossed a pack of Qunzi cigarettes over.

"My vehicle has some problems, can you help take a look!"

Probably the sandstorm had affected the vehicle somewhat, but it shouldn't be a major issue.

Before Chen Ye could say anything, the pink-haired girl nearby also tossed a pack of Ta cigarettes over.

"Help me check mine too!"

In the blink of an eye, he received two packs of cigarettes. Chen Ye's eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"No problem, I'll go check after resting a bit."

"Burp~~~"

The pink-haired girl picked up her beer can and took a huge gulp, not even leaving the last drop.

She crushed the beer can into a ball and threw it far away.

The woman then pulled out another can of beer from beside her, this one 500 milliliters.

"Hey, can you actually handle that much?"

If it were anyone else, Chen Ye wouldn't have asked.

The reason he cared wasn't because his personality had changed, but because this woman was the convoy's top fighter.

She still had use value for the future.

"None of your damn business, I'm going to drink!"

The pink-haired girl drank half of the newly opened beer in one go, staring at Chen Ye with drunken, bleary eyes.

It was clearly a phrase filled with gunpowder.

But coming from this woman's mouth, it carried a sense of sorrow, resentment, soft and glutinous.

Chen Ye rubbed his nose, not getting angry because of these words.

After all, she was just a teenage girl.

He was at least an adult who had been one for years.

"Forget it, drink slowly, I'm going back to sleep."

"Yawn... I'm tired..."

Actually, Chen Ye wasn't really tired.

He was planning to figure out how to allocate the Slaughter Points in his possession.
