Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse Chapter 80

"Hello, Mo Huairen! Call me Captain Mo, or Old Man Mo!"

The old man with a smoking pipe in his mouth smiled like a chrysanthemum, standing barefoot on the scorching sandy ground as he extended his hand toward Captain Chu.

His thick northwestern accent felt somewhat jarring.

Chu Che also extended his hand with a smile: "Chu Che, leader of the Fair Convoy! Captain Mo, welcome!"

The two groups had finally met.

They sized each other up while maintaining mutual wariness.

Chen Ye subtly retreated half a step behind Iron Lion, trying to make himself less conspicuous.

This "retreat behind everyone" move showed some genuine Old Devil Han influence.

As the camel train approached, the first thing noticed were the survivors in this convoy.

Each person appeared emaciated and skeletal.

Their eyes held no light.

They looked exactly like slaves from television dramas.

Even more exaggerated were the ropes binding their hands and feet.

When these people saw Chen Ye's group, their expressions remained unchanged, still vacant and lifeless.

These people were treated even worse than the camels.

By comparison, the survivors in their own convoy were merely thin, but in much better condition.

The survivors in the convoy whispered among themselves while looking at these "beggars," occasionally casting glances toward the leading old man.

The old man pretended not to notice, chatting happily with Captain Chu.

The strong odor emanating from the camels made Chen Ye want to cover his nose.

This camel train had more camels than he had imagined.

Not only that, there were actually five large dogs in this camel train.

These five large dogs were several times more imposing and much larger than the two black dogs Captain Chu kept.

Wait!

These... weren't dogs, they were... five wolves!

Chen Ye's heart tightened. These five wolves had fierce eyes and had silently formed an encirclement while contacting their convoy.

They actually regarded Chen Ye's group as prey.

Chen Ye's pupils slightly contracted.

"Awooo~~~~"

A strange howl sounded.

The five wolves lowered their bodies and slunk over to a man's side.

Chen Ye's gaze followed the direction of the five wolves.

It was a young man around thirty years old.

The young man made strange sounds with his mouth, as if communicating with these wolves.

The five wolves circled around the man, appearing extremely docile.

This person... could control wolves.

He must have Sequence Superpowers.

"Captain Chu, let me introduce you, this is Zhan Lei, an important member of our team, hahaha..."

Mo Huairen pointed at the young man playing with the wolves as he introduced him to Chu Che, not mentioning a single word about what sequence he belonged to.

But seeing this situation, one could roughly guess.

This person's Sequence Superpowers should be related to beast taming.

"And this is Ding Dong. Also an important member of our team."

The old man pointed to a nimble woman standing nearby with her arms crossed.

The woman had ordinary features, but her hands were wrapped in bandages, and her expression was cold and stern, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

When she saw Mo Huairen introducing her, the woman merely nodded, then said nothing.

Chen Ye took an extra look at the bandages on the woman's hands.

These were the kind of hand wraps boxers use during training.

This woman's sequence should be related to the bandages on her hands.

"The one over there is Liu Yang, just a kid, not yet an adult, don't mind his behavior!"

This last one was a teenager standing at the very back of the crowd.

The teenager was completely shrouded in a hooded robe, currently hiding behind a camel to avoid the sunlight.

Chen Ye noticed something - the surrounding survivor "slaves" seemed particularly fearful of this teenager.

Even the other Sequence Superpower companions didn't seem willing to get close to him either.

When Chen Ye looked at him, the teenager grinned and made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.

Was this... a provocation?

No, this provocation wasn't directed at me.

It was aimed at Iron Lion, that big fool.

Sure enough, the big fool was flushed red at this moment, and his energy seemed unstable.

Chu Che imitated the other side's approach by pointing at his own people: "Iron Lion, Sun Xixi, Chen Ye!"

Well, you kept your introductions simple, and I made mine even simpler.

As for what sequences?

I don't know your abilities, and you won't learn about ours either.

These few should be the Sequence Superpowers in the camel train.

Similar to their own side, also four people.

However, Iron Lion's combat ability hadn't fully recovered yet, so by this calculation, they were slightly inferior.

Chen Ye had only awakened a few days ago, and his abilities hadn't fully developed yet.

If he could obtain the practice methods deduced by the System, allowing his strength to rapidly increase, he would at least feel more secure.

Then there were those five wolves - each one stood as tall as an adult when upright.

If they had any other trump cards hidden, Chen Ye didn't think his group stood a chance against them.

Scanning the surrounding environment with his eyes, Chen Ye was already planning escape routes in case they were outmatched.

After all, Chen Ye had always regarded Old Devil Han as his life idol.

The two techniques of "retreating behind everyone" and "fleeing first as respect" were already well-practiced by Chen Ye.

And he felt no shame about it.

Fight when you can win and loot.

Run when you can't win.

This was common sense even children understood.

In Chen Ye's mind, he was already planning for the conflicts that would inevitably erupt in the future.

Keep in mind, the two groups had only met minutes ago.

Both sides set up camp behind the sand dune.

Chen Ye's group camped around their vehicles.

The camel train arranged their camp according to the camels' positions.

It was then that Chen Ye realized this camel train had much more supplies than their own group.

Various tents and supplies were laid out in an orderly fashion.

The area they occupied behind the sand dune was three times larger than Chen Ye's group.

Those ragged slaves, both men and women, were slowly taking things down from the camels and setting up camp under the direction of a man holding a whip.

"Captain Chu, your convoy is a bit short on people!"

Mo Huairen smoked his pipe, his old eyes gleaming as they scanned over the survivors of the Fair Convoy.

Every survivor who met his gaze turned pale with fear.

It was already the apocalypse.

Survivors already knew that ordinary people had no rights.

Just look at the ordinary people in this camel train to understand.

"Captain Mo, it's the apocalypse now - fewer people are better!"

"Captain Chu, your convoy is quite good, you even have vehicles! Tsk tsk... but your fuel must be hard to come by!"

"Hahaha... Captain Mo, you're absolutely right, you don't know..."

The old man and the younger man chatted warmly as if they were long-lost friends.

Anyone who didn't know better would think these two were close companions who hadn't seen each other for years.

But in reality, both harbored ulterior motives.

Despite the old man's decrepit appearance, he was quite cunning, using various conversational tactics to probe for information about the convoy.

Captain Chu was no pushover either, defending flawlessly while simultaneously trying to find ways to gather information about the other side.
