Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 151: If you can't beat them, join them

"You... you're really not human!"
On the way to see Wu Jianshan, Chu Che said quietly.
Chen Ye spread his hands: "No, if you can't beat them, join them. Isn't that perfectly normal?"
Chu Che gave Chen Ye a surprised look, then chose to remain silent because Classroom 4-1 was quickly approaching.
Chen Ye and Chu Che saw Wu Jianshan again.
The man looked even thinner than before, his entire face like a skeleton wrapped in skin.
Sun Xixi and Ding Dong "escorted" the two men there before leaving.
Sun Xixi seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Wu Jianshan.
"Don't worry, they're also my friends. I won't do anything to them."
With that, Sun Xixi could only leave.
Wu Jianshan waved a hand toward Chen Ye and the other: "Please, sit!"
This classroom had now been converted by Wu Jianshan into his private office and bedroom.
A desk was placed toward the back of the classroom, though there were no documents on it.
Beside it stood a single bed.
It looked quite simple and crude.
In the middle was placed a tea table.
Two chairs had already been prepared opposite the tea table.
"I heard you really like drinking tea, Chu Che. I wonder if you'll like today's tea!"
Wu Jianshan sat in the main seat and, regardless of how Chen Ye and Chu Che might react, began brewing tea on his own.
The two men exchanged glances before slowly sitting down.
Chen Ye remained constantly vigilant in his heart.
Chu Che didn't speak, just watched quietly.
Steam began to rise gently in the air, boiling hot water was poured into the teapot, and the tea leaves unfurled within.
The brown-red tea liquor was soon poured into a transparent fairness cup, carrying rising steam that looked quite comforting on such a snowy day.
Small teacups in front of the two men were also filled with some tea liquor.
Due to Squad Leader Chu's stinginess, Chen Ye hadn't drunk tea in a long time.
Chen Ye couldn't tell whether this tea was good or bad, but...
Being able to drink tea at all was quite rare now.
Anyway, this tea tasted like divine nectar in Chen Ye's mouth.
When Chu Che drank the hot tea, the expression on his face relaxed somewhat.
"Chu Che, Chen Ye, you must have seen those notebooks and letters by now, right?"
Wu Jianshan suddenly said.
Chu Che tensed up, nearly spilling the tea in his hand.
Chen Ye's expression, however, remained neutral.
"Actually, I've been looking for this thing all along, I just never expected it to be in Choi Soo-eun's hands."
Wu Jianshan tossed the notebook onto the table, a trace of helplessness flashing at the corner of his mouth.
This notebook had passed from Choi Soo-eun's hands to Xue Nan's hands, then to Sun Xixi's hands, and finally returned to Wu Jianshan's hands.
"Choi Soo-eun used to be really popular domestically, and quite beautiful too. When she first arrived here, someone tried to take advantage of her, but I protected her."
"It was also me who provided her with food, letting her survive!"
"One could say that if it weren't for me, over ninety percent of the people here wouldn't have survived!"
"But alas, there are always people who don't know how to be grateful!"
"Chen Ye, I killed Choi Soo-eun. Do you think I was wrong?"
While saying these words, Wu Jianshan wasn't looking at Chu Che, but rather at Chen Ye.
"Every man for himself and the devil takes the hindmost! If I were you, I'd do the same!"
Wu Jianshan gave Chen Ye an appreciative look.
Then he looked at Chu Che.
Chu Che didn't speak.
"You've read the diary, read the letters, so you should know what the God Worshipper Sequence is really about now."
"God Worshippers actually worship themselves."
"I don't even know how I awakened, how I became a God Worshipper."
"At first, I was very happy because I had also become Sequence Supernatural."
"But this happiness only lasted a very short time."
"Early-stage God Worshippers are really weak. God Worshippers with no god to worship aren't much stronger than ordinary people."
"At that time, I thought of many methods, and only as a last resort did I find Xue Qing!"
"Oh right, she's the sister of that ugly man in your convoy!"
"When I first learned that worshipping gods required sacrifices, I was really conflicted too!"
"I'm not a murderous maniac, but people always change."
"Without sacrifices, those anomalies would charge into the school and tear all of us to pieces bit by bit."
"What happened later, you probably guessed it too. Yes, I sacrificed them to the Death God."
"You really have no idea, with the first sacrifice, I went from Sequence 1 to Sequence 2."
"The stronger the Death God becomes, the more powerful things I can exchange from her."
"This feeling of growing stronger is truly too addictive."
"Look at my eyes, yes, these eyes were previously on the Death God herself."
"Compassionate Mask, even the Eight-Limbed Human Face and Abyssal Blood Pupil cannot resist the Death God's power!"
"This is what I exchanged for my sense of taste!"
"As long as I grow stronger and stronger, I will become the god, no longer needing to worship others!"
Wu Jianshan began chattering incessantly, like chatting with old friends.
No hysterics, no mad roaring.
But when he spoke of sacrifices, his whole demeanor became somewhat neurotic.
Sure enough, all of Chu Che's guesses were correct.
"After the first time, there came the second time..."
"Since you've guessed it, I won't hide it from you."
"But honestly, I don't think I did anything wrong."
"As long as I become powerful enough, I can drive away these anomalies. As long as I offer enough sacrifices, Sequence 4, Sequence 5, even Sequence 9."
"None of it is particularly difficult!"
"So what if some ordinary people get sacrificed?"
"Looking throughout world history, which great figure didn't have heaps of bones beneath their feet when rising to high positions?"
"A general's achievement costs ten thousand lives~~~~"
"So what if a few people die? Which dynasty, which civilization doesn't have deaths?"
"I'M NOT WRONG!!!"
When he spoke these last three words, Wu Jianshan's volume slightly increased, and his expression became agitated.
"Chen Ye, I know you and I are the same kind of people. You should understand me, right?"
"Both of you are smart people too. Many matters should prioritize the greater good!"
Wu Jianshan concluded with "prioritize the greater good."
This statement wasn't meant for Chen Ye, but for Chu Che.
Wu Jianshan had long had people investigate Chen Ye's affairs.
Therefore, in Wu Jianshan's view, Chen Ye was the same as himself.
Chen Ye, stared at by Wu Jianshan, had flickering, profound eyes.
Children distinguish between right and wrong, adults only distinguish between advantages and disadvantages.
Chen Ye didn't judge whether Wu Jianshan's actions were right or wrong.
But if you treat me as a sacrifice too, then that's your mistake.
What "greater good"?
Often when someone tells you to "prioritize the greater good," you're not included in that "greater good."
"Yezi, A-Che, now I invite both of you to join the Death God Church."
"You help me, and after this time, I'll reach Sequence 4."
"Once I become Sequence 4, the Death God will grow stronger, and I will grow stronger too!"
"By then, we can drive away all the anomalies in Rong City and rebuild humanity's home once again."
"Yezi, A-Che, I need you!"
Wu Jianshan's eyes were incredibly sincere.
Not only that, Wu Jianshan also pulled out from under the table a full case of tea leaves and a full five cartons of Huazi cigarettes.
Just looking at the tea packaging showed it wasn't ordinary, who knows where Wu Jianshan found it.
Chu Che looked at this packaging, his eyes sharply contracting. Clearly, he recognized what kind of tea this was.
And Chen Ye, looking at those five cartons of Huazi, also swallowed hard.
His current cigarette reserves were running low.
Cigarettes, for Chen Ye now, weren't just about nicotine addiction anymore, but also a combat method.
Chen Ye finally showed a smile on his face: "Bishop, please take care of me from now on!"
Wu Jianshan didn't expect Chen Ye to agree so quickly, asking: "You... you agree just like that?"
Chen Ye chuckled: "If you can't beat them, join them. I don't see any problem with that!"
The expression on Chu Che's face looked like he'd eaten something disgusting.
Thus, Chen Ye and Chu Che became the Death God Church's new Vice-Bishops.
By the time the two men left Wu Jianshan's office, it was already evening.
Ghostly shadows clustered around the school, and the entire campus had sunk into terrifying silence.
Chu Che sighed and asked: "Do you believe what Wu Jianshan said?"
Chen Ye spread his hands: "What if I don't believe him? You think I was joking?"
Chu Che gave Chen Ye a suspicious look and chose to remain silent.
Chen Ye snorted coldly in his heart: Believe? Only a ghost would believe his words.
If Wu Jianshan really reached Sequence 4, we'd probably die without even knowing how.
As for whether what Wu Jianshan said was right or wrong!
Chen Ye didn't care whether Wu Jianshan had some grand goal.
But Chen Ye wasn't willing to sacrifice himself to achieve this so-called grand goal.
Perhaps, perhaps...
No, this method is too... too inhumane.
On the sports field, Choi Soo-eun's body still hung under the tree, the heavy snow having completely covered it. There was no wind.
Choi Soo-eun's corpse looked like a sunny-day doll beneath the large tree.
