Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 181: I Don't Like Chocolate

The System balance had over sixty thousand Slaughter Points.
This was actually a pleasant surprise for Chen Ye.
When escaping from the Second Elementary School last time, Chen Ye hadn't participated in much combat.
He mainly killed Wu Jianshan, that Sequence 3, and used some "tails" on the escape route, so the fighting duration wasn't long.
Moreover, Chen Ye had been actively avoiding combat back then, trying to stay out of an endless vortex of battles.
Therefore, the Slaughter Points weren't that high.
But this time, Chen Ye and the Fog Slaves had gone head-to-head in a blitz.
Although the Slaughter Points gained from each kill were minimal, the sheer density of attacks was overwhelming.
Even though it was only three minutes...
Over sixty thousand Slaughter Points.
This required careful planning.
The System still had an ongoing task that hadn't finished, so a new round of tasks could only be started after the current one ended.
Also, the vehicle really needed some minor repairs now.
The current state of this car was simply appalling.
In the earlier panic, it had crashed into a roadside flower bed, but the car itself was mostly fine.
However, many parts of the body had dents.
With over sixty thousand Slaughter Points, it was enough to add a canopy to the truck bed.
That way, there'd be no need to set up a tent at night in the future.
Get a car air conditioner installed.
The vehicle's fuel tank also needed an upgrade.
The tentacle upgrade for the Eight-Limbed Human Face still required two hundred thousand...
Calculating it this way, it seemed the Slaughter Points were still somewhat insufficient.
These Slaughter Points were like the balance in a bank card, never enough!
Captain Chu Che finally showed some mercy, ordering the convoy to rest in place for thirty minutes.
Finding Iron Lion finally allowed Captain Chu to relax a little, the weight on his heart easing slightly.
That rebellious girl, Sun Xixi, didn't cause Chu Che much worry.
After all, the title of the convoy's number one fighter that this girl held wasn't just for show.
Thirty minutes. Many survivors sat in their seats, staring blankly at the thick fog.
Or simply got out of their vehicles to find a spot to take care of personal hygiene.
Seizing this time, the first thing Chen Ye did was dismantle the passenger seat and throw it away.
The fabric seat had completely absorbed that yellow liquid.
Fortunately, this time there were vehicles everywhere around.
Chen Ye directly removed a seat from an off-road vehicle as a replacement.
Seeing this, Xue Nan hurried over to help.
Chen Ye even found a car player in a dilapidated minivan.
The kind that plays cassette tapes.
This made Chen Ye somewhat delighted.
He had collected some cassette tapes before, originally thinking they'd never be useful again.
With no internet now, such a tape player was far more practical than any Bluetooth player.
Collect them all and integrate them into the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck.
Since the apocalypse began until now, he hadn't listened to music once.
It was just... life was too dull.
Occasionally hearing music coming from Captain Chu and the Pink-haired Girl's car made Chen Ye quite envious.
Xue Nan was helping Chen Ye install the seat.
Chen Ye searched through the crowd. Due to the truly pitiful visibility, it took Chen Ye quite a while to find that guy Chu Che.
Chen Ye still remembered the guns obtained from that small group before leaving.
But Chu Che was currently setting up a cenotaph for Old Bao and Xiao Wang.
Xu Lina, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and Boss Gao were helping Captain Chu nearby.
They took out some clothes Old Bao and Xiao Wang had worn, dug a small pit in the roadside flower bed, and buried these items.
There were no paper funeral money.
Chu Che found some flyers, books, and newspapers.
A survivor folded these papers into ingot shapes and burned them.
Several survivors looked at the cenotaphs of Old Bao and Xiao Wang, softly weeping.
After some thought, Chen Ye still didn't go over.
Although his moral baseline was relatively low.
He still had a baseline.
Giving Captain Chu a few minutes was fine.
Chen Ye came to his own vehicle, leaning against the deformed front hood. "Finished?"
Xue Nan, sweating profusely, crawled out of the driver's cabin, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said breathlessly, "Finished, but it's not a perfect fit. The seat is a bit wobbly and still needs reinforcement!"
"It's fine, leave it as is. You don't need to worry about it anymore."
When Xue Nan crawled out of the driver's cabin, Chen Ye saw the cabin had actually been cleaned quite thoroughly.
This guy hadn't been idle;
he'd started wiping down Chen Ye's car.
Chen Ye noticed a few packaging corners peeking out from Xue Nan's shirt pocket, looking like chocolate or similar candies.
Since the apocalypse began until now, he hadn't seen chocolate for a long time.
"You still have chocolate?"
Hearing Chen Ye's question, Xue Nan snapped back to reality and chuckled, "Yeah, I traded it with gasoline from those Death God followers earlier!"
"My little sister likes chocolate. I'll give it to her when I find her!"
When Xue Nan said this, his voice carried an indescribable gentleness, his disfigured face full of warmth.
As if his adorable little sister was right before his eyes.
Chen Ye was stunned, remembering.
Back when leaving the Second Elementary School, in that hurried glance, he had seen Xue Nan charging like a madman toward the teaching building.
He'd thought at the time that this idiot Xue Nan was surely dead.
"You charged back then just to get chocolate?"
As soon as he asked this, Chen Ye felt the question was somewhat idiotic.
Who would risk their life for a bit of chocolate?
Just because his little sister liked it?
Xue Nan shouldn't be that stupid!
Xue Nan chuckled, looking a bit embarrassed as he said, "Chocolate is hard to find now. This bit was traded with the gasoline I collected last time!"
Damn... it really was!
"Not just for the chocolate, but also some other supplies!"
"I failed to protect her. I hope she won't be angry with me when we meet again!"
Saying this, Xue Nan scratched the back of his head, looking very awkward.
Chen Ye looked coldly at Xue Nan.
He thought of some things.
That diary from before mentioned a girl named Xue Qing, whose older brother seemed to be a big internet celebrity with millions of fans.
Could it be...
He had been somewhat suspicious back then...
Could it...
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen..."
Seeing Chen Ye spacing out, Xue Nan waved his hand in front of Chen Ye's eyes.
Chen Ye snapped back to reality, forcefully suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said in a very calm tone, "By the way, you always talk about your little sister. What's her name exactly?"
"Xue Qing. My little sister's name is Xue Qing! Has Mr. Chen heard this name?"
Xue Nan didn't expect Chen Ye to be so concerned, momentarily excited, as if hoping to hear news about his sister from Chen Ye's mouth.
Even news from before the apocalypse would be good.
"Haven't heard it!"
"If I hear this name in the future, I'll tell you."
Chen Ye took a deep drag of his cigarette, not activating any ability.
He just wanted to use nicotine to ease the pressure in his heart.
Hearing Chen Ye's words, Xue Nan's expression instantly dimmed somewhat.
"Alright, Xue Nan, no need to wipe the car anymore. Go attend to your own business."
Xue Nan put down the rag in his hand, respectfully bowed to Chen Ye, then turned and left.
After two steps, Xue Nan seemed to make a very important decision.
With great difficulty, he took a piece of chocolate from his pocket, turned back, and extended his hand, offering the chocolate to Chen Ye.
"Mr. Chen, if you want to eat it, I can give you a piece."
Chen Ye looked at this piece of chocolate for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Probably his earlier question had caused a misunderstanding, making Xue Nan think he wanted to eat chocolate.
The prolonged silence made Xue Nan somewhat flustered.
He thought maybe one piece of chocolate wasn't enough to satisfy Chen Ye's appetite.
Xue Nan's hand trembled slightly, his expression one of agony.
If it were anything else, Xue Nan might have given it to Chen Ye without hesitation.
But chocolate? No!
His little sister really liked it. She used to beg him to buy it for her all the time, but he was too busy back then to pay attention.
And now, he knew very well how rare chocolate was.
Just as Xue Nan was at a loss,
Chen Ye's faint voice came through: "Take it back. I don't like eating chocolate."
