Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse

Chapter 548: Xi City Is a Tough Battle

Translate to

The Fair Convoy's atmosphere today was incredibly peaceful.

Everyone was busy with their own tasks.

Although the convoy's supplies weren't plentiful, they hadn't reached complete desperation yet.

At the very least, today's supplies were sufficient.

Plus, they'd just scored over twenty little fat sheep.

So, everyone was in high spirits.

Squad Leader Chu Che sat barefoot, lounging idly by the reservoir.

His sparse hair, blown by the wind, looked somewhat lonely.

Captain Chu wasn't actually that old.

But it was his baldness that made him seem like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

Adding an extra layer of greasiness out of nowhere.

Feeling the fishing rod give a slight tug.

Chu Che quickly flicked the rod.

He saw a big, fat fish pulled directly out of the water.

"What a big one!"

A look of joy appeared on Squad Leader Chu's face.

Unfortunately, before Chu Che could drag the fish ashore.

As the fish thrashed wildly in the air.

Chu Che only felt a sudden lightness in his hand.

The fish had shaken off the hook and was about to fall back into the water.

A mass of mist rapidly floated over, forming a square cage that sealed the fish inside.

The mist cage drifted back to the shore.

Chu Che let out a huge breath: "Oh my god, if that fish had gotten away, I wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight!"

"Not bad, Squad Leader Chu. Looks like we'll have fish soup tonight!"

Chen Ye casually tossed the fat fish to a nearby survivor.

"Take this to Supervisor Xue. He'll know how to handle it!"

The survivor grabbed the fish and ran off.

Chu Che retrieved the hook, noticing it was already a bit bent. He straightened it slightly and re-baited it with an earthworm.

"Your car's washed?"

Chu Che looked a bit wary.

Chen Ye grinned, sitting down next to Squad Leader Chu and reaching a hand into Chu Che's chest.

"Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?"

"Chen Ye..."

"Get your hands off..."

Chu Che quickly tried to stop Chen Ye's hand from groping around, a trace of panic appearing on his face, as if he had a secret hidden in his chest that he didn't want anyone to know.

"Squad Leader Chu, I saw it. You're getting stingier and stingier!"

After about seven or eight seconds.

Chen Ye pulled out a water bottle from Captain Chu's chest.

The bottle contained brownish-red tea.

A few leaves were floating in the water.

Chu Che's face changed, and he protested reluctantly: "That's all I have left! Just that little bit..."

Chen Ye ignored Chu Che's resistance and complaints.

He unscrewed the cap and took a big gulp.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."

Chu Che cursed in heartache: "Like a cow chewing peonies, absolutely like a cow chewing peonies! My damn tea leaves..."

Feeling the refreshing scent of the tea.

Chen Ye felt a sense of trance.

Honestly, this tea wasn't anything special.

Before the apocalypse, it was at most a hundred or two hundred yuan per catty.

But now, Chu Che had to sneak around just to have some tea leaves.

When there was only half a bottle of tea left, Chen Ye finally stopped.

He smacked his lips in admiration.

"Squad Leader Chu, you're really no fun, getting stingier by the day. Can't even part with a bit of tea."

"Can't even part with a bit of tea? Hmph, how about you spare me a couple of cigarettes? I haven't smoked in ages!"

"Smoking's bad for your health!"

"Hmph... Give me back my tea!"

Chu Che reluctantly tried to snatch the half-bottle of tea from Chen Ye's hand.

But Chen Ye tossed the half-bottle of tea at Gong Yong, who was passing by.

Gong Yong caught it frantically.

Chen Ye laughed heartily: "Big Yong, Squad Leader Chu invites you to have some tea!"

Gong Yong paused for a moment, but quickly reacted and gave Chu Che a ninety-degree bow: "Thanks, Squad Leader Chu!"

Then Gong Yong ran off clutching the half-bottle of tea.

The way he acted was like he was afraid Chu Che would change his mind.

"You... you..."

Chu Che, furious, pointed at Chen Ye, unable to say a word for a long time.

Chen Ye sat back down with a grin and gestured for Chu Che to sit as well.

Chu Che sat down but turned his head away.

"Look at you, being so petty. It's just a little bit of tea."

"Is it really worth it?"

Chu Che retorted irritably: "Spit it out if you have something to say, or piss off if you don't!"

Chen Ye shamelessly threw an arm around Chu Che's shoulder and grinned: "Squad Leader Chu, it's been days. Have you found a suitable target yet?"

"If you don't find a target soon and the weather keeps getting colder, someone's going to freeze to death."

Chu Che naturally understood what Chen Ye meant.

"The day after tomorrow, we should have a good opportunity..."

Speaking of serious matters, Chu Che had to respond.

According to his senses, based on their current travel speed, they should reach a suitable destination in two days.

"So, at this rate, how long until we get to Xi City?"

"Soon. We should be near Xi City around mid-January."

"I expect there will be a lot of convoys there, and a lot of superhumans too!"

"Chen Hao, Lin Shu Tong, and the others should all be going!"

Speaking of Lin Shu Tong.

Chu Che gave Chen Ye an ambiguous wink.

A image of a woman with a great figure who blushed easily also flashed before Chen Ye's eyes.

Chen Ye pretended not to notice anything: "That Chen Hao guy is a stubborn mule by nature. I wonder if he's found that little fatty yet."

Mentioning Chen Hao, Chu Che also felt a bit emotional. That guy was the most fitting example of a saint-like persona they had ever met.

"There's no helping it. It's a side effect of the Quotation Sequence. He probably doesn't want it either."

Chen Ye curled his lip: "That guy's going to get himself into big trouble one day because of this side effect!"

"In this world, it takes good people like Chen Hao to make things interesting!"

Chu Che stared at the fishing rod, recalling Chen Hao's face.

Honestly, Chu Che wanted most to recruit that guy into the convoy.

But he was too stubborn.

Was he going to keep a promise for a lifetime?

"And there's Dantai Bie. That guy talks too much, but without him, the convoy really is too quiet."

"As for him, Wandering Immortal Sequence, not easy to kill. That kid is probably wandering off somewhere unknown again."

"Wandering Immortal, Wandering Immortal. Just from the sequence name, you know nothing can tie him down."

"By the way, earlier you mentioned a top-ten ranked Wonder passing by. Is that true or false? Could it be a Sky Whale?"

"Don't know. But top-ten Wonders each possess unimaginable supernatural power. With their help, this time should succeed, right?"

"Auntie Zhao and the others should be going too, right?"

"Don't know. But if I had to guess, they'll probably be there."

"And the Shepherd Convoy we met before!"

"Yeah, they need to steer clear. Don't let them see the mutton!"

"How could they not guess? Little Fish has clearly put on a noticeable roundness in the last couple of days."

"There's no helping it, though. How can that girl eat so much!!!"

Speaking of Little Fish.

Okay, getting round might be an exaggeration, but the healthy color on her face had improved noticeably.

If she kept eating like this, she'd really get fat.

And tonight, there was also a big pot of mutton soup.

That little girl was already holding her bowl, waiting.

She was practically drooling into the pot.

"This Return to the City Plan is very different this time! They want to attack a city. It's going to be tough!"

"Unlike the Oasis, they built a new city over in the new world."

"But now, they want to seize a city from the anomalies. The difficulty is on a whole different level!"

"This time, a lot of people are going to die."

"Oh, and Yezi, that Tangled Remnant Limb you grabbed from the Oasis. Aren't you going to bring it out?"

Suddenly, Chu Che dropped this question.

Chen Ye was startled, then quickly denied: "What Tangled Remnant Limb? I don't know what you're talking about!"

Chen Ye stood up to leave.

Chu Che let out a cold laugh: "That trick of yours might fool outsiders, but we've known each other for how long? The moment you wag your tail, I know what you're up to."

"Forget that blade, Ding Shen gave that to you."

"But the Tangled Remnant Limb belongs to the entire convoy in principle."

"And the Dragon Scale from the Resentment Dragon too."

"Those are common assets of the convoy!"

"Yezi, I know you have ways to turn all this stuff into combat power."

"But please, do it quickly."

"It's going to be very dangerous at Xi City!"

Chen Ye felt a slight chill inside.

Chu Che, a Sequence 4, was starting to get a bit mystical.

Xi City was definitely going to be a tough battle.

Even if the chances of success seemed slim.

People would still rush forward without hesitation.

After all, it was once the homeland of humanity.

Even if it meant death, many would rather die on the road to reclaiming their homeland.

If things got really bad.

He could just use Spirit Infusion on the spot and summon the Resentment Dragon.

Kicking up a huge ruckus wouldn't be a bad option either.
