Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 128: This place is no longer safe.

Because of this scream, the entire morning at Rong City Second Elementary School was thrown into chaos.
Chen Ye's first reaction was to grip the machete beside him, immediately spotting Captain Chu Che holding the metal lighter in one hand while his other hand was still tucked inside his coat.
Captain Chu still had cards up his sleeve!
This sneaky bastard really wasn't being honest!
Chen Ye's gaze slid past the lighter and fixed on Captain Chu's coat before calmly shifting away, pretending nothing had happened.
Chu Che also withdrew his hand from his coat, acting as if nothing had occurred either.
The two put on their clothes but didn't immediately leave the room.
Instead, they waited silently in the room for about five minutes, only stepping out when they heard increasing footsteps outside.
Iron Lion was still snoring away, seemingly completely unaware of the scream.
Had to admire how well this guy slept.
Seemed like after his brain got simpler, his insomnia problems disappeared too.
As soon as they reached the corridor, they saw the world had turned completely white.
The snow on the surrounding roofs was much thicker than yesterday.
And it was still snowing from the sky.
A large crowd had already gathered at the school gate.
Among them were black-robed survivors from the Death God Church, as well as people from their convoy.
Everyone was chattering noisily, creating a desolate atmosphere amidst the heavy snow.
Chen Ye and Chu Che silently made their way to the school gate.
Ding Dong and Sun Xixi had already arrived here ahead of them.
Even Old Bao and the others were present.
Only Wu Jianshan was missing.
Chen Ye and Chu Che effortlessly reached the center of the crowd.
The first thing they saw was a young man lying on the ground.
The young man's body twitched slightly, still wearing the down jacket they'd found yesterday, now covered with a thin layer of fresh snow.
Where his eyes should have been, there were only two terrifying bloody holes, with crimson blood already pooling on the ground, quickly mixing with the white snow and staining a large area red.
This person's eyes were gone.
Or rather, this person's eyes had been gouged out.
Chen Ye found him somewhat familiar, having probably seen him in the convoy before—seemed like he came from the camel train.
"What happened?"
"It's Xiao Chao, Xiao Chao's eyes were gouged out!"
Old Bao said with a grim expression, snowflakes settling on his eyebrows making him look much older.
"You tell us!"
Old Bao pointed at a survivor wearing a down jacket.
Clearly, this person should be the first one who discovered the situation, and also from their convoy.
This person now stared wide-eyed in terror, his eyes filled with sheer horror.
"This morning, when I was returning from the toilet... I saw..."
Living at Second Elementary School had its advantages, but the only inconvenience was the lack of indoor bathrooms.
Therefore, to handle personal hygiene, one had to use the public bathrooms on each floor.
This survivor got up in the morning to use the toilet, and on his way back, he glanced toward the school gate.
Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure approaching the school, staggering unsteadily, clearly injured.
After careful identification, he realized the figure was Xiao Chao.
The two had always gotten along well, so out of concern, he went to the school gate to see what happened, wondering in his heart.
Why would Xiao Chao suddenly return from outside so early in the morning?
Only when he saw the bloody holes where Xiao Chao's eyes should be did he scream in shock.
Xiao Chao simultaneously collapsed to the ground.
While Chen Ye and the others were learning about the situation, Old Bao had already arranged for this young man called Xiao Chao to be carried back into the school.
But everyone understood in their hearts.
This person clearly wouldn't survive.
Losing eyes doesn't necessarily mean death.
But this was the apocalypse.
Even if diluted Death God Blood Tears could save him, in this apocalyptic world, having no eyes meant no chance of survival.
Unless diluted Death God Blood Tears could make this person grow eyes again.
"It's the Blood Pupil, it must be the Blood Pupil!"
A somewhat strange syllable sounded nearby.
"What Blood Pupil?"
Chen Ye turned his head and saw a woman hidden in black robes, her features quite delicate and somewhat familiar-looking.
"It's the Abyssal Blood Pupil. You just arrived and don't know—Changwang District has three, no, two anomalies."
When she said this, the woman cautiously looked around, clearly afraid someone might have heard her slip of the tongue.
"One is the Eight-Limbed Human Face you've seen, and the other is this Abyssal Blood Pupil."
"It loves gouging out people's eyes the most—it's terrifying!"
When she said this, Chen Ye noticed the trace of fear she couldn't hide in her eyes.
"Why are you telling us this?"
There were so many black-robed people, but only this clearly non-Xia Country woman came forward to warn them.
Chu Che obviously grew suspicious.
"My name is Choi Soo-eun. If you can leave this place, remember to take me with you. Thank you!"
"You're that Nation's Songstress... it's really you!"
Chu Che remained silent, but the pink-haired girl beside him exclaimed in surprise.
Choi Soo-eun gave the pink-haired girl a polite but awkward smile, then turned and quickly walked away.
Abyssal Blood Pupil!
"Didn't Old Wu say that as long as we're here, we're all safe?"
"Why hasn't he appeared yet?"
Chen Ye looked around, grabbed a black-robed person, and asked, "Where's Old Wu?"
The person, suddenly grabbed, initially looked annoyed and ready to curse, but upon seeing Chen Ye's face, his expression instantly turned respectful.
"The Archbishop is reciting scriptures!"
"Where is he? Take me to him. With something this big happening, he's not even showing his face!"
Actually, Chen Ye didn't really want Wu Jianshan to handle this matter.
People die—in the apocalypse, which day doesn't have deaths?
Chen Ye wanted to find Wu Jianshan to get Death God Blood Tears.
Improving strength was everything now!
As soon as he said this, cold sweat instantly broke out on the black-robed person's forehead.
"That won't do. The Archbishop recites scriptures for two hours every morning—no one can disturb him."
"Otherwise, people will die! Please, spare me, I won't go!"
After saying this, the person struggled free from Chen Ye's grip, turned, and quickly ran away.
Recites scriptures for two hours every day?
No one can disturb him?
Chen Ye rubbed his chin, his eyes flickering continuously!
The young man called Xiao Chao was still carried back to a classroom in the school.
Old Bao went to investigate why this person had left so early in the morning.
He quickly got results.
"This person was originally from the camel train, later joined the convoy with his girlfriend, and then got on the school bus."
"He went out early in the morning because he also wanted to get a vehicle."
"Xiao Chao... his girlfriend was left behind in Yanzhou. He wanted to go back and find her..."
"Ah..."
At this point, Old Bao let out a deep sigh.
Back in Yanzhou, many people in the convoy died, and many got separated.
Xiao Chao's girlfriend was one of them.
Xiao Chao had always wanted to go back and find his girlfriend, but everyone knew that falling behind the convoy only had one outcome.
That was death.
Therefore, everyone had been trying their best to dissuade him.
But Xiao Chao never gave up, constantly thinking about going back, saying he'd rather die together.
After arriving in the city, when Xiao Chao saw so many vehicles—especially when Ding Dong and Fourth Brother He each drove back a new car—
this idea became uncontrollable.
He begged Fourth Brother He all night, but Fourth Brother He still refused to go find a car with him.
Even though Wu Jianshan said the school and surrounding area were Death God Church territory and very safe, he didn't want to recklessly go out for this.
Unless one of the Sequence Superpowers gave the order.
Finally unable to withstand Xiao Chao's persistent pestering, Fourth Brother He verbally explained how to steal a car without keys.
Xiao Chao set out as soon as he woke up this morning.
His plan was to find a vehicle, gather some supplies, and then head back to Yanzhou.
The result was Xiao Chao returning without his eyes.
Hearing this outcome, everyone fell silent.
Chen Ye lit a cigarette, smoke swirling around him as his eyes flickered with suspicion.
He wasn't particularly moved by how touching this story was.
In the apocalypse, touching stories were everywhere.
Almost everyone had a past that could make people cry.
He'd just listened to Wu Haifeng's story last night.
Wu Haifeng was Iron Lion—if this name wasn't mentioned for a long time, everyone forgot Iron Lion's real name.
"You're saying he went out in the morning, meaning after daybreak?"
"Yezi, do you even have a heart? You're still concerned about that at a time like this?"
The pink-haired girl was moved by Xiao Chao's story, feeling somewhat emotional for a moment.
Although this girl had matured a lot, she was only eighteen—the age of sentimentality.
Chen Ye ignored the pink-haired girl's sentimentality, looking at Old Bao instead.
Old Bao's expression also turned grim, clearly understanding what Chen Ye meant.
"He went out after daybreak this morning."
Even the pink-haired girl caught on, her sentimental mood lasting only a few seconds.
Ding Dong also looked grave.
Chen Ye held the cigarette in his mouth, the cigarette tip glowing faintly, his eyes deep and dangerous: "Morning is still daytime. Given Xiao Chao's walking speed, with heavy snow everywhere."
"He couldn't have gone far!"
"He should have been around the school. The city is full of vehicles—finding one wouldn't be difficult for him."
Hearing Chen Ye's analysis, everyone fell silent.
Chen Ye continued quietly: "This place is no longer safe. I'm afraid we'll have to hit the road again."
