Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 266: Everyone, Speed Up!

"Captain Chu, when are we going to rest? It's already this late."

"It's impossible to see the road clearly now. Driving at night is too dangerous."

The voice of the Pink-haired Girl came through the radio.

The sky grew darker and darker.

Night was when the Anomalies were most active.

For the past couple of nights there had mostly been no moon.

Without the convoy's lights, this place would be a complete void.

When the lights swept past, they revealed some streetlamps that had not yet fully collapsed.

The poles of those lamps were covered in all kinds of plants.

In the passing beams, they looked like venomous snakes.

Some of the streetlamps had even rusted through and broken off entirely.

In this hopeless apocalypse, seeing those damaged streetlamps reminded people not to forget the brilliance of human civilization.

Before the end of the world, this road must have been brilliantly lit.

Now, those lamps had stopped working altogether.

Their last mission was to mark where the road once ran.

"Sorry, we can't stop for now. We need to get out of here as fast as possible!"

Over the radio, Chu Che's voice sounded serious.

As he spoke, Captain Chu activated his ability again to sense the weather changes within the next twenty-four hours.

Within the twenty-four hours he sensed, nothing too severe appeared.

Except at the twentieth hour.

A large amount of trees would be washed down the mountain slopes by debris flows.

By then this road would no longer exist.

But with twenty hours to go, at the convoy's current pace, getting off this disappearing mountain road was feasible.

The Fair Convoy would be the last convoy to pass this road.

Twenty hours later, the road would be gone.

"Ah~~~"

A girl's wail came through the radio.

"Okay, we need to speed up now!"

Chu Che's voice grew even more serious.

Even though there were still twenty hours left,

Chu Che still felt it wasn't safe enough and wanted to accelerate!

"Captain Chu, what did you see?"

Chen Ye sharply picked up the change in tone in Chu Che's words.

Chu Che inwardly admired Chen Ye's keen observation.

But he still said, "Nothing specific, I just have a bad feeling!"

"We need to leave here quickly!"

"This place gives me a very unsafe vibe, the rain is getting heavier!"

After saying that,

Captain Chu sensed the weather changes again.

It matched his earlier reading.

No worse events were detected.

Maybe things were already bad enough that heaven wouldn't pile on more disasters.

Still, that uneasy feeling intensified.

The rain kept getting heavier.

It wasn't a torrential downpour, but compared to the drizzling rain of previous days, it was much heavier.

Even their radio chatter had the constant backdrop of rain.

Because the rain was so heavy, the radio signal suffered some interference.

"Yeah, the rain's too heavy. This weather could easily cause debris flows and landslides. We need to get through quickly."

Ding Dong also voiced support for Chu Che's decision.

"But we're already going as fast as we can. Going any faster might be unsafe."

This road had not been maintained in a long time;leaving aside the overgrown weeds,

there were a lot of fallen rocks on the surface.

Some of the rocks were taller than a person.

Earlier they could maintain around fifty kilometers per hour.

Now, in these conditions, forget fifty;sometimes they couldn't even hit twenty.

"Chen Ye, you lead. I'll follow right behind you!"

"Other vehicles keep formation!"

"Copy!"

Chen Ye floored the gas and overtook Chu Che's vehicle, becoming the lead car.

The Apocalyptic Pickup Truck was a Wonder. Though it still lagged behind the two carefully modified off-road vehicles in many respects,

in other areas those two couldn't compare to the pickup at all.

For example, Chen Ye recklessly rammed into an unknown tree growing in the middle of the road, a trunk as thick as an adult's arm, and snapped it cleanly.

The whole truck didn't even pause.

If it had been one of the other two off-roaders, they might have managed it too,

but they would never have done it so smoothly.

"Captain Chu, Captain Chu, the school bus is out of gas. We need to stop to refuel!"

That was the bald Old Li's voice.

"Hurry up!"

Chen Ye eased off the speed.

There was still the Iron Lion on that school bus.

If Iron Lion hadn't been on the bus, Chen Ye would never have stopped so readily to wait for them.

At most he would have slowed so they could catch up.

Besides, Chen Ye felt the tension in Chu Che's tone.

Remember, the Pathfinder Sequence's Sequence 1 was named Danger Sensor. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Although Chu Che couldn't say where the danger originated, if he felt it, odds were the danger was closing in.

It was just that everyone's sequence levels were too low to notice yet.

The other vehicles pulled over as well.

Chen Ye glanced at his gas tank;there was still more than half a tank left.

The modified tank held two hundred liters, enough to go a very long distance.

Chu Che continued to use his ability to sense the Anomalies' aura and the weather changes.

Once the school bus stopped,

four or five survivors immediately sprang into action.

Some went straight for the stored fuel drums.

Others opened the fuel tank caps.

While on the move, the convoy often passed gas stations.

Whenever that happened, they always stopped to top off reserves.

Even if the convoy wasn't short on gasoline at the moment, they'd still do it.

When the convoy set off again,

their speed increased a few notches.

Chen Ye remained the lead car.

Headlights lit the path ahead, weeds and shrubs rampant.

But none of that was a big problem for Chen Ye.

As long as the convoy kept moving, Chu Che felt his inner worry ease a little.

He habitually checked the weather changes again.

No...

This is...

This time... Captain Chu's face turned very grim.

Fear even showed in his eyes.

How could this be?

It wasn't like this a moment ago.

Impossible.

No, try again!

This time Captain Chu carefully and thoroughly sensed the weather changes for the next twenty-four hours.

But his face grew pale.

His hands trembled slightly.

Xue Nan, who was driving up front, and Xiao Fu in the passenger seat, clearly didn't notice the change in Chu Che's mood.

They were only focused on the road conditions.

"Give...give me the radio!"

Chu Che's voice shook.

He asked himself the same questions over and over.

This isn't right!

It wasn't supposed to end like this!

It shouldn't!

Only then did Xue Nan and Xiao Fu realize something was wrong with Captain Chu.

They both started to get nervous, but Xiao Fu still handed the radio over to Chu Che.

Chu Che swallowed, forcing his racing heart down.

"Ev...every...body..."

Even those simple words were difficult for Captain Chu to say.

"Sp...speed...up!"
