Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse Chapter 9

Chen Ye first opened the two bags he had brought from the supermarket.

The cigarette in his mouth had already gone out, so Chen Ye casually flicked it away. It was the apocalypse now, and no one would criticize him for littering cigarette butts.

He lit another cigarette, savoring the rich aroma of nicotine.

More than half of his backpack was filled with cigarettes, so he wouldn't run out anytime soon.

Therefore, Chen Ye could afford to be a bit extravagant.

Just then, Chen Ye noticed movement in the darkness.

He watched the dark direction warily.

A group of people came panting heavily toward him.

"Finally... finally made it!"

"Wahhh..."

"Those monsters... stopped chasing! We survived..."

"Wahhh..."

They had caught up.

Judging by their tone, it seemed they had been pursued by monsters.

The camp quickly became noisy.

Some were hugging each other and crying.

Some collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

Others remained silent, not saying a word.

Some glared venomously at the group of people who had arrived by vehicle.

Even Chen Ye, who rode a tricycle, received their resentment, with hostile eyes constantly scanning over him.

Chen Ye placed his hand crossbow within reach and gave these people a warning look with his eyes.

These people were in bad shape, some even had bloodstains on their bodies.

But their current situation wasn't his fault, and he had no interest in playing the savior.

The previous convoy had about two hundred people.

But now...

Even including this group that caught up, the entire convoy probably had less than a hundred people left!

This was the apocalypse!

Chen Ye moved his tricycle closer to the group that arrived by vehicle, putting some distance between himself and these resentful people, then finally had time to sort through his current gains.

He opened one of the bags, which turned out to be completely filled with rice.

Seeing this bag of rice, Chen Ye couldn't help but swallow hard.

It had been several days since he'd eaten rice.

Opening the other bag revealed it was packed full of various snacks.

There were potato chips, instant noodles, spicy strips, and chocolate.

There were even several bottles of drinks and mineral water.

It looked like a giant snack gift pack.

This brought a slight smile to Chen Ye's face.

Those drinks could quickly replenish sugar, and the empty bottles would also be useful for storing water.

He organized these supplies, packed them into bags, and hid them away.

Only then did Chen Ye start unpacking the gains from Yoga Pants Woman and Qiangzi.

When he opened Yoga Pants Woman's bag, Chen Ye couldn't help but curse out loud.

This foolish woman didn't have much food in her bag.

Instead, it contained quite a few clothes and shoes.

That would have been fine - in these times, any supplies were useful.

But all these clothes and shoes were women's styles.

The bag also contained many feminine hygiene products.

These items would probably only be useful for trading with others for supplies.

Next was Qiangzi's bag.

Qiangzi's bag was even larger than Chen Ye's backpack and appeared to contain many things.

Chen Ye even found cured meat in Qiangzi's bag.

This was scarce supplies.

There was no shortage of various snacks either.

There were also two large packs of dried noodles - just these two packs alone would last Chen Ye quite a while.

Not only that, Chen Ye even found several pieces of clothing and a pair of shoes in Qiangzi's backpack.

This brought a flash of pleasant surprise to Chen Ye's face.

It was worth remembering that it was still October.

The weather hadn't completely cooled down yet.

Therefore, Chen Ye sweated heavily every day, and his body had long become sticky.

His clothes were also dirty, making him look little better than a beggar.

Even if he couldn't bathe, changing into clean clothes would be much more comfortable.

Chen Ye eagerly changed into a quick-dry shirt, putting his dirty clothes in a bag to wash later when camping by a river.

In these times, not even the smallest amount of supplies could be wasted.

Even though the shoes on his feet had become smelly, Chen Ye had no intention of throwing them away.

Taking out his portable gas stove and cooking pot, Chen Ye prepared to make himself a good meal today.

Without a knife, Chen Ye could only use his crossbow arrowheads to laboriously cut off a piece of cured meat and throw it into the pot.

As for washing the rice, Chen Ye didn't even consider it.

Washing rice would waste water.

He directly poured some water into the pot with the cured meat and placed it on the portable gas stove to cook.

There were also two bottles of Lao Gan Ma spicy sauce in Qiangzi's bag.

Having two bottles of Lao Gan Ma was truly a blessing in these times.

The survivors who had arrived nearby were still crying, but Chen Ye couldn't be bothered with them.

In this apocalypse, people who could still shed tears were the ones who could survive.

Blowing out a smoke ring, Chen Ye leaned against his tricycle waiting for the food to cook.

Meanwhile, he kept a wary eye on those people.

After confirming they showed no extreme reactions, Chen Ye began thinking about the system again.

There were still over five hours left until the tricycle upgrade completed.

Seeing he still had three hundred Slaughter Points left.

Chen Ye thought about those Sequence Superpower users again.

"System, how can I awaken Sequence Superpowers?"

Chen Ye only asked tentatively, but the system quickly responded.

[There are currently two ways to awaken Sequence Superpowers. One is to obtain Sequence Serum and awaken Sequence Superpowers through the serum.]

[The other is self-awakening.]

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't even consider Sequence Serum - it sounded extremely precious, and he definitely couldn't afford it.

Plus, it was the apocalypse now, humans had long been driven out of cities, so Sequence Serum was probably even harder to obtain.

The other method was self-awakening...

"System, is there a method for self-awakening?"

[Yes, requires three thousand Slaughter Points to exchange. Does host wish to exchange?]

Chen Ye: "..."

Three thousand Slaughter Points?

He almost died just getting one thousand Slaughter Points - where would he get three thousand?

Looking at the three hundred Slaughter Points remaining in his account.

If he exchanged for the system's loan, he'd have nothing left.

Since the system wouldn't collect debts anyway, how could he maximize the benefits from these three hundred Slaughter Points?

Taking a deep drag of his cigarette, Chen Ye's mind raced furiously.

Remembering back in Xinghua Town, whether facing the White Dress Scissor Woman or dealing with the Paper Crying Child.

Ordinary people were completely helpless against Anomalies, only able to constantly flee.

"System, is there a way to deal with Anomalies that costs three hundred Slaughter Points!"

After Chen Ye issued this command.

The system showed a small spinning icon.

Like a phone's loading icon when opening an app.

He waited a full ten minutes.

Just when Chen Ye thought the system had no solution either.

The system delivered a message.

[Consume three hundred Slaughter Points to exchange for a solution to deal with Anomalies. Confirm exchange?]

There actually was a way?

Chen Ye immediately sat up straight.

"Confirm, exchange!"

That feeling of being completely helpless against Anomalies was truly unbearable.

Although a method costing three hundred Slaughter Points definitely wouldn't be a decisive solution.

At least he'd have some ability to fight back.

The three hundred Slaughter Points in his account disappeared directly.

A message appeared before Chen Ye.

[Black dog blood can have some effect on Anomalies!]

Black dog blood!

Chen Ye felt a surge of pleasant surprise - he hadn't expected this method.

He'd been worried earlier about what to do if he ran out of gasoline after upgrading his tricycle.

If he used this method to trade with those Sequence Superpower users ahead, maybe he could get some gasoline.

Gasoline?

Since he could exchange for Sequence Serum, he should be able to exchange for gasoline or other supplies too, right?

Chen Ye directly called up the system to inquire.

The system gave a positive response.

But after Chen Ye glanced at the exchange prices, he fell silent.

Looking at these exchange prices, Chen Ye decided that unless his life was threatened, he would absolutely not make any exchanges.
