Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 261: The Prelude to the Most Insane Escape

The light rain continued to fall.

Chen Ye looked at the several buildings at the entrance to the town.

Most were of the layout where shops were on the ground floor and residences were upstairs.

Iron Lion, Sun Xixi, and Ding Dong had already begun to move.

Even Chu Che wanted to go help.

But he held himself back;at this moment, he had to focus all his attention on the movements of the Anomalies, not allowing a single distraction.

The survivors were also itching to act, some had already begun charging towards the residential buildings, planning to rush up, smash the doors, and then search room by room.

There were still over twenty minutes left.

Doing it this way was far too slow.

But it was better than doing nothing.

Those who had survived the apocalypse understood the importance of supplies all too clearly.

Anyone wanting to reap the benefits without lifting a finger at this point was basically dreaming.

Everyone in the convoy wanted to play their part.

"What the hell are you standing there for? Go help!"

Chu Che saw Chen Ye hadn't moved and was instantly furious, remembering the words Chen Ye had said before: "What use are you!"

"Heheh... Chu Che, just watch."

After saying this, Chen Ye carefully pulled a Huazi cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and placed it between his lips. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

When Chen Ye smoked the entire Huazi down to ashes in one breath.

Thick smoke billowed from Chen Ye's mouth and nose, the smoke and mist quickly forming a small dark cloud in the sky.

The dark cloud swiftly approached a residential building.

At that moment, countless Crawlers broke free from the smoke, surging towards that residential building like a tide.

The Crawlers were formed from smoke;those security window grilles couldn't stop them.

Chu Che watched, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

Only Chen Ye could think of a method like this.

"You all, don't go up! Wait down here!"

Chen Ye said to the eager survivors.

Before the survivors could understand what was happening.

The simulated Death God's scythe had already shattered the security grilles.

A television set was thrown down from upstairs.

It nearly hit a survivor who had just started to move closer.

Chen Ye's face darkened.

Crawlers originally had little intelligence to speak of, and these simulated Crawlers had even less, almost none.

However, they could still carry out simple commands.

Soon, the things being thrown down from upstairs became much more reliable.

After all, these were Crawlers simulated by his own smoke. Though a bit stupid, lacking their own thoughts and wisdom, and incapable of executing precise commands.

But the good thing was they were obedient.

Just give one instruction, and the Crawlers would act according to it.

Much better than that ungrateful thing, the Eight-Limbed Human Face.

Alright, the relationship between him and the Eight-Limbed Human Face involved more hatred than favors.

Among the thrown-down items, there were no more large objects like TVs. Instead, small things like instant noodles became more common.

There were even two full, unopened bags of rice, seemingly bought but not yet opened.

With Superhumans present, naturally, they wouldn't let these incredibly precious supplies hit the ground.

Although the Crawlers weren't as efficient as Iron Lion and the Pink-haired Girl, who could identify with 100% accuracy what was food and what was a useless decorative pillow.

The Crawlers won in numbers.

With a large base, even if many things weren't useful right now.

A lot of food was still thrown down.

And if no fighting was required, simulating Crawlers was even simpler for Chen Ye.

Soon, supplies piled up like a mountain under the residential building.

The survivors below were grinning from ear to ear.

Frantically rummaging through the mountain of supplies for what they needed.

Of course, more than half were useless.

Only a small portion were expired instant noodles, dried noodles, flour, rice, and such.

It was clear people really didn't have the habit of storing too many supplies at home.

One building was quickly stripped bare.

And Iron Lion and the others had only cleared a small half of theirs.

Dispersing those Crawlers, the smoke cloud descended upon the next residential building.

Chu Che was utterly dumbfounded by now.

As for Iron Lion, Sun Xixi, and Ding Dong.

Well, the three of them combined hadn't found as much as Chen Ye alone.

Countless Crawlers began sweeping along the long street.

Not a single residential building along the street was spared.

Unfortunately, this area wasn't the town center and wasn't that prosperous.

When only two minutes remained of the thirty.

The convoy had gathered quite a few supplies.

Although not as abundant as the previous few times.

At least it alleviated the immediate crisis.

Right at that moment.

Chu Che's face changed drastically;he sensed an incredibly powerful Anomaly aura had appeared in the town at some unknown time.

"Go!"

The group was only stunned for half a second before they frantically ran towards their respective vehicles.

In less than half a minute.

The convoy, with their newly acquired supplies, was fleeing madly.

It's worth noting that during the entire supply-gathering process, none of the vehicles had turned off their engines.

Precisely to prepare for this kind of situation.

Chen Ye saw in the rearview mirror... a...

Chen Ye remembered once seeing a short video about a rat phenomenon called a "rat king."

Three or five rats, for some reason, get their tails tangled together, eventually unable to separate and starving to death.

Places where the "rat king" phenomenon occurs are said to bring disaster.

Therefore, people deeply fear the "rat king" phenomenon.

And what appeared in the rearview mirror...

About several dozen people were tangled together. Some had an arm tightly entwined, others a leg, or a head...

These people were clearly each independent individuals.

But now, these "people" were tangled together, forming a brand new "Anomaly."

These "people" roared, using their remaining hands or legs, or simply their bellies, to frantically push forward, chasing the convoy.

It was pushing...

Not walking! Not running!

Iron Lion, Chen Ye, Sun Xixi, and Ding Dong took turns engaging.

Only after nearly crippling Iron Lion again.

Did they manage to repel this Anomaly, temporarily named the "Tangled Crowd."

Just repel it.

With their combined strength, even working together, they couldn't kill this Anomaly.

The convoy obtained a brief period of peace.

However, peaceful times are always short-lived.

A few days after leaving Xining Town.

The convoy began the most insane escape migration in its history.
