Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 188: Leaving the Fog City

Chapter 188

The sky was not yet bright on the second day when people within the convoy had already begun to stir.
Looking out the window of this private room, aside from a blanket of thick fog, there was no other color.
Staying too long in such a gray, murky environment made a person feel somewhat gloomy.
Once Sun Xixi and Ding Dong were found, the convoy would leave Fog City.
First the desert, then later the heavy snow, and now this dense fog.
This world had changed so much that even Chen Ye felt he barely recognized it anymore.
Sometimes it even felt like this was no longer the familiar world he once knew.
Weren't there people saying the occurrence of the Anomaly Apocalypse was caused by a fusion with other Dimensional Spaces?
Thinking about everything that had happened along this journey.
Chen Ye was also beginning to believe this theory!
"Yawn!"
The first thing upon waking was to sense whether there were any changes within his body.
After sensing for a few minutes, he didn't discover any physical changes.
This feeling was similar to when he had used the Sequence Serum before.
Perhaps he needed to wait for the medicine's effects to continue working before seeing any changes.
Chen Ye wasn't anxious about this;
products from the System had never disappointed him before.
Hearing the clattering and bustling noises outside the private room.
Chen Ye stood up and pushed open the door.
No one in the main hall was sleeping in anymore.
Before the apocalypse, everyone could sleep in;
on days off, you could sleep as late as you wanted.
But in the apocalypse, except for Superhumans who had that privilege, sleeping in was simply an unattainable luxury for ordinary survivors.
Every day before departure, vehicles needed to be checked, and they also had to be kept clean and tidy.
Even Chen Ye's pickup truck, which didn't have a single patch of good paint left, would be wiped clean by people arranged by Xue Nan before setting off.
Also, breakfast every day needed someone to prepare it.
Even if it was just half a piece of expired bread as breakfast, someone still had to distribute it.
For example, the newly promoted woman Zhang Yanping had three survivors just assisting her.
Perhaps these people were supervisors at some company or elites at some foreign enterprise before the apocalypse, but now they only had one most ordinary identity: survivor!
Chu Che had been trying his best to maintain Fairness within the convoy, but the beginnings of a class hierarchy were still emerging within the group.
At the very top were naturally Chen Ye and their group of Superhumans.
Then came managers like Xue Nan and Xiao Fu.
People very close to the Superhumans, like Little Fish and Old Wang, they were also considered in the second tier.
Next came people like Zhang Yanping who could directly serve the Superhumans.
Perhaps Xu Lina, relying on some ambiguous rumors about her and Chen Ye, could also be in the third tier.
Finally came the ordinary survivors.
The former future star Zhou Xiaoxiao was now also in the fourth tier.
Even though Chen Ye and the others didn't really care about these matters.
A class hierarchy was still quietly breeding within the convoy.
Chu Che was also helpless about this, but didn't have any good solutions.
When the survivors saw Chen Ye come out of the private room, everyone who saw him gave a full-body shudder, hurriedly lowered their heads, and pretended they hadn't seen anything.
The visibility in the thick fog was too low, so Chen Ye rarely wore Sunglasses.
Many survivors had seen Chen Ye's Blood Eye.
After all, it was something that fell from an Anomaly;
ordinary people were naturally somewhat fearful of such things.
Now Chen Ye had transplanted this thing onto himself.
In the eyes of many survivors, Chen Ye was a lunatic.
And now, this lunatic had gone and plucked out his own right eye.
That originally somewhat handsome face now looked quite terrifying.
Chen Ye had already discarded the gauze on his right eye, so his right eye was currently just a bloody hole.
Combined with the Blood Eye in his left eye.
No one wanted to attract Chen Ye's attention.
"Yawn... Chen Ye, I'm telling you, you had a perfectly good person to be, but you just had to become a ghost! Now look, everyone knows you're a madman!"
The voice of Squad Leader Chu Che came from the private room next door.
Squad Leader Chu was in a good mood today.
Chu Che looked at Chen Ye's face and said admiringly, "Only you could pull off something like this."
"It looks pretty scary;
you should still wear your sunglasses in the future!"
Chen Ye looked at Chu Che, his Blood Eye narrowing slightly. "Squad Leader Chu, besides these words, do you have something else to tell me?"
Chu Che instantly understood Chen Ye's meaning.
When they encountered that small group before, they had obtained many guns.
Among them, there seemed to be items similar to Wonders.
Chu Che sighed, spreading his hands. "Let's wait until we find Xixi and Ding Dong, then we'll divide it!"
Although Chen Ye didn't understand why Chu Che said this, out of trust for Squad Leader Chu, he still nodded in agreement.
"Squad Leader Chu, are those two women nearby?"
"Not far! Once we find them, we can replenish some supplies and then leave this place. This place always gives people a creepy feeling."
Replenish supplies.
It had to be said, his own supplies also seemed to be running low.
All that gasoline collected before, what a pity.
As for Iron Lion, that guy was still sleeping, but judging by his current recovery state, he should wake up before long.
Seeing there was still a while before breakfast.
Chen Ye planned to temporarily upgrade his vehicle.
After comparing options, Chen Ye decided to first upgrade the vehicle by adding a cargo compartment.
Such a large space not being fully utilized was really somewhat wasteful.
Chu Che stood at the doorway, surveying the city's dense fog.
The visibility seemed even lower than the previous days, making Chu Che feel an even greater sense of panic.
As a pathfinder, his perception of danger was very acute.
Chu Che had a premonition that Fog Slaves were merely the most insignificant Anomalies in this city.
Even though they were Rule Anomalies.
This city had things even more terrifying than them.
For example, that giant snake in the Mist River.
Chu Che sensed that giant snake hadn't left Fog City yet.
Just then, Chu Che saw the smoke breath in front of him churn violently.
Chen Ye, carrying a large sheet metal box, smashed through the thick fog and appeared before Chu Che, leaving Squad Leader Chu dumbfounded.
Calling it a sheet metal box wasn't entirely accurate either.
It looked like Chen Ye had ripped the rear cargo compartment off some truck.
"You... really are something else!!!"
Chu Che held it in for a long time, only managing to say this.
Chen Ye didn't bother responding to this guy.
When they arrived here yesterday, Chen Ye had noticed several trucks on the roadside.
He selected one that looked suitable and directly used his machete to violently cut off the rear cargo compartment.
After all, it was a Wonder ranked two thousand;
doing this kind of thing was all too easy.
Chen Ye placed the violently cut-off cargo compartment onto his truck bed.
Well, the compartment he found was a bit too large, and it didn't quite match his truck bed properly.
But he had the System;
everything was solvable.
Chen Ye had Xue Nan find some wire to bind this cargo compartment to the rear truck bed.
The whole vehicle's apocalyptic atmosphere thickened by several degrees.
If it were before the apocalypse, Chen Ye's vehicle could definitely have entered some post-apocalyptic themed competitions.
Chen Ye also found two off-road vehicles by the roadside, violently cut off their fuel tanks, and planned to install them on his Apocalyptic Pickup Truck.
He even dismantled several fog lights.
After all this busy work, Chen Ye finalized the upgrade plan in the System Interface.
Compartment adaptation, fuel tank adaptation, plus headlight adaptation.
The price quoted by the System was three thousand five hundred Slaughter Points.
If he let the System handle materials and labor for these things, it would probably cost over ten thousand Slaughter Points.
Now, only having the System handle the adaptation, the quoted price was more than halved.
Chen Ye was quite satisfied with this.
The upgrade would take seven hours.
The time wasn't too long.
Of course, while Chen Ye was doing all this, he had used his Smoke Breath to envelop his area of activity, masking his living human aura.
After finishing breakfast, the convoy prepared to depart!
