Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 77: News from other teams

After awakening to Sequence Superpowers, Chen Ye had been continuously practicing his supernatural abilities during this period.
Improving one's strength was the ultimate method for survival in the apocalypse.
Of course, this kind of practice was also a rather clumsy approach.
He kept smoking to exhale smoke clouds, then used his supernatural abilities to simulate various animals.
Or he would surround himself with misty smoke clouds.
His current strength had naturally improved compared to when he first awakened.
But the improvement was still quite limited.
During the previous battle with the Human-Faced Scorpion, Chen Ye had spent considerable time and smoked a lot just to create those smoke clouds.
If the opponent had been human, and if there had been no helpers.
Chen Ye would probably have died long ago.
This method was very clumsy, and strength growth was quite slow.
It was also very wasteful of cigarettes.
If not for the passive ability Nicotine Tolerance, Chen Ye wouldn't dare practice like this.
Chen Ye had once asked Chu Che.
The Pathfinder Sequence was quite special, basically sensing Anomalies at high frequency twenty-four hours a day.
Therefore, Chu Che's supernatural abilities were exercised daily.
According to Chu Che, as long as one lived long enough, improvement in Sequence Superpowers was certain.
It's just that this improvement process might be relatively slow.
Chu Che's method was essentially the same as Chen Ye's approach.
Iron Lion had Titan Sequence superpowers.
According to Iron Lion, strengthening the body through physical training could make one stronger.
Therefore, when not on the road, Chen Ye had seen Iron Lion tempering his body in the sand dunes several times.
This method was essentially the same as Chen Ye's too.
But Chen Ye wasn't satisfied.
If his supernatural abilities had been stronger, perhaps the previous encounter with the Human-Faced Scorpion wouldn't have been so difficult.
Whether upgrading the vehicle or improving personal strength.
Both were for the purpose of surviving in the apocalypse.
The vehicle and his supernatural abilities were both indispensable during such migration processes.
Couldn't it be like in martial arts novels, where practicing some internal energy cultivation method daily would increase strength?
Even if it was just slightly faster than that grinding daily practice.
"System, is there any method that can enhance Sequence Superpowers, like..."
Chen Ye described it to the system according to the characteristics of internal energy cultivation methods from martial arts novels.
The rotating small circle appeared again.
Clearly, the system was contemplating.
Could it really exist?
Chen Ye grew slightly nervous, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.
If such an internal energy cultivation method really existed, even if it were more expensive, it would be acceptable.
That was something that could enhance strength.
[Theoretically, both Sequence Superpowers and the internal energy mentioned by the host are applications of energy.]
"So that means it's feasible?"
Chen Ye couldn't help but interrupt the system's narration, his voice trembling slightly.
If it could really work?
[Theoretically feasible! Requires consumption of Slaughter Points for deduction!]
"Good, good, good, how many Slaughter Points are needed?"
[Estimated to require ten thousand Slaughter Points, deduction will take 36 hours.]
[The system task is currently in progress, do you need to interrupt the ongoing task?]
[Note: Interrupting the currently ongoing task will not refund consumed Slaughter Points!]
[Please treat this with caution, Host!]
Ten thousand Slaughter Points?
And still needed thirty-six hours for deduction?
He thought that just paying Slaughter Points would immediately get the desired result.
Chen Ye discovered a new characteristic of the system.
For the system, simple information only required paying Slaughter Points to immediately get results.
The more troublesome the task, the more Slaughter Points needed, and the more time required.
Like this method for training Sequence Superpowers.
For the system, this might be a very troublesome matter.
Of course, the greater the help to himself.
As for interrupting the current task.
Chen Ye naturally refused.
That was a task worth fifteen thousand Slaughter Points.
Forcing down the excitement in his heart, he could only wait until forty-eight hours later.
The sky lightened slightly, the blood moon gradually sank, and the bloody light on the sand dunes slowly faded.
Being able to welcome the morning sun every day.
Undoubtedly brought some hope to the survivors in the apocalypse.
Even for Chen Ye, when seeing such a morning sun every day, the gloom in his heart would dissipate somewhat.
Some people had already started getting up, rustling sounds came from the camp as people got out of vehicles to handle personal hygiene matters in the distance.
Others began setting up stoves for cooking.
A graceful figure descended from the sand dunes not far away.
That head of pink hair glowed in the morning sunlight.
Only this pink-haired girl was currently drenched in sweat, her hair wet and clinging to her face and neck.
The woman still carried a long sword in her hand.
This woman... couldn't have gone to practice swordsmanship, could she?
Last night all night... plus now, this woman really was...
This morning's meal was porridge.
It had to be said that the cook was really amazing—even simple plain porridge could be cooked to be richly fragrant.
Iron Lion was still sleeping.
According to Chu Che, in this battle with the Human-Faced Scorpion, Iron Lion's injuries were secondary; the real trouble was the poison in his body.
If it were any other Sequence 1, they would have been poisoned to death long ago.
The pink-haired girl met Chen Ye again, surprisingly not feeling awkward at all.
It was even as if nothing had happened yesterday.
Chen Ye was somewhat surprised.
But soon accepted it calmly.
Actually, Chen Ye didn't know that Sun Xixi was also anxious inside, worried that Chen Ye might want to take some responsibility for her.
For the young girl, Chen Ye was from the 00s generation, while she was from the 10s generation.
Born in 2012, this year 2030, she had just turned eighteen and become an adult.
After this month, she would only be nineteen.
An old fossil like Chen Ye might have different concepts from hers.
When watching movies before, those old fossils had outdated concepts, thinking that if something happened, they had to be together for life.
Because of this, the young girl still felt quite pressured inside.
Asking Chen Ye for the Human-Faced Scorpion skin share in the morning was largely a test.
Later, Chen Ye refused her.
Because of this, the girl wasn't discouraged inside, and even felt somewhat relieved.
Don't think she was only eighteen—her thoughts were no simpler than adults'.
Otherwise, she couldn't have survived until now.
In the apocalypse, those with simple minds who survived were almost nonexistent.
Seeing that Chen Ye really didn't care at all now.
She finally breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Only that slight ache in her heart was like a thorn—even if not fatal.
It constantly reminded her that this man before her was ultimately different.
Actually, the girl didn't know that Chen Ye was even more cold-blooded than she imagined.
If encountering danger, and abandoning one person could save lives, Chen Ye would do so without hesitation.
Even if the two had shared history before.
Chen Ye even hoped the girl would treat him the same way.
To survive in the apocalypse, everyone depends on their own abilities!!!
Those with love-sick brains can't survive in the apocalypse.
Captain Chu's eyes kept drifting between the two, hoping to detect some clues from them.
Seeing that the two showed absolutely no ambiguity or awkwardness actually confused Captain Chu.
Did I mishear last night?
"After eating, help me check my car later! Don't forget!"
"Okay!"
"One pack of cigarettes just for checking a car? That's too expensive."
"If you think it's expensive, you can find someone else."
"Hmph, then give the cigarettes back to me, I'll find someone else to do it!"
"Have you no shame? Who asks for gifts back after giving them?"
"Stop, stop, stop, I also gave payment. Yezi, check my car first, then hers, how about that?"
Seeing the two about to argue, Chu Che quickly stepped in to mediate.
The pink-haired girl lifted her head proudly and let out a "Hmph!"
Iron Lion didn't ask Chen Ye to check his vehicle.
Firstly, because Chen Ye's car inspection service was too expensive at one pack of cigarettes.
If it were before the apocalypse, one pack of Ta cigarettes would only cost about ten dollars.
But this was the apocalypse now.
Secondly, because there were many people on the school bus, and they had their own auto repair personnel. Only when they couldn't handle something would it be Chen Ye's turn to step in.
"By the way, how much water do you two have left?"
Just after putting down his bowl, Chu Che threw out this serious question.
Chen Ye also put down his bowl: "I have about four or five bottles left!"
"I have more, still ten bottles remaining!"
Chu Che slightly furrowed his brows, his expression unusually serious.
"Everyone should use water sparingly. Probably within these few days, we'll encounter other convoys!"
"If things go smoothly then, we can exchange some water with them!"
"I hope Iron Lion can wake up before then!"
Other convoys?
Hearing this news, Chen Ye's expression also turned serious.
Even Sun Xixi's small face tightened.
In the apocalypse, sometimes what harms you isn't necessarily Anomalies—it could very well be people.
Encountering other convoys at this time.
Could be even more terrifying than encountering a Human-Faced Scorpion.
