Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 271: Quotation Sequence
Chen Ye could use Hatred to grind a boulder to pieces.
But the Fire Dragon Sword wielded by the Sequence 3 pink-haired girl could not.
That does not mean Hatred, or Chen Ye himself, was necessarily stronger than the pink-haired girl.
It was simply that their abilities and Wonders emphasized different things.
Besides, the pink-haired girl had already done the groundwork, disrupting the boulder’s internal structure, and Ding Dong added a supportive punch.
Only then was Chen Ye able to lift his hand and pulverize one of the boulder halves.
The entire process was so quick it left people scrambling to keep up.
Many didn’t even react in time;they only saw the boulder split in two as stone chips flew everywhere.
One large piece was cut by Chen Ye with his machete, while the other…
If this were a TV drama, this would be the moment Iron Lion would show up, single-handedly stop the boulder, and save everyone on the vehicle.
Then they’d give Iron Lion a heroic close-up.
Maybe he’d even rank up to Sequence 3 in that instant.
But a TV drama is still a TV drama.
Even though Iron Lion’s eyelids twitched violently, as if he might wake from sleep at any moment,
the truth was he lay on the school bus bed, and that scene would never happen.
Xu Lina watched the boulder about to crush everyone on the vehicle and could no longer hide the despair in her eyes.
“Chen Ye! Save me!”
Xu Lina didn’t want to die;the shrill cry tore out of the woman’s throat.
A flash of reluctance passed through Chen Ye’s eyes.
He wasn’t sad because Xu Lina was about to die.
Although the woman was beautiful and tempting, Chen Ye didn’t care much for her.
Aside from her looks, she was useless to him.
If trading her life would save everyone on the vehicle, Chen Ye would not hesitate to choose the lives of the group.
His reluctance came because many survivors were on that vehicle, and Iron Lion was there too.
Hatred had already been driven to its limit by Chen Ye;Smoke Breath was surging in to try to form a makeshift protective shield to stop the boulder.
But everything was too slow.
Too slow!
At that moment, a slightly stuttering voice reached everyone’s ears.
“In… in the name of I, pa… pause!”
The voice sounded socially awkward.
Yet the tone was resolute, as if its owner truly believed words could enact laws.
Pause?
Chen Ye couldn’t quite grasp the meaning of those two sudden words in his ear.
He wasn’t the only one confused.
No one there understood.
Did they think this was watching a show online, where you can just hit pause?
Then a miraculous sight happened.
The boulder, roaring with a wind that chilled the heart, actually did stop—if only for an instant.
Just a single instant.
It was enough to make Chen Ye’s eyes widen.
In the rearview mirror, the boulder hovered in midair, suspended by an indescribably strange power.
What the hell…
How could this be…
Chen Ye’s gaze flicked to the unremarkable Happy Prince vehicle.
That voice had seemed to come from inside that car.
The instant the boulder froze,
the school bus engine still roared, like a streak of yellow lightning, instantly clearing the boulder’s fall point.
Then the little Happy Prince car surged out.
Followed by the small but heavily armored Apocalyptic Fortress that looked pulled straight from a sci-fi end-of-the-world poster.
Only after everyone and every vehicle were safe did the terrifying boulder seem to have its seal broken, and it thundered away with wind and rain sounds.
When the boulder, now half its original size, smashed to the ground, Chen Ye could even feel the faint tremor through the earth.
At the same time, stone chips and rubble hit the vehicle, making the already battered Apocalyptic Pickup Truck crackle under the impact.
Chen Ye even saw several dents appear on the roof.
The solar panels on the roof were probably ruined.
Compared to the earlier danger,
this level of damage to the vehicle was acceptable to Chen Ye.
Even the windshield had been struck by flying stones.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared across the front glass.
The side windows had also been cracked.
Chen Ye frowned slightly.
As expected, things not produced by the System were generally lower quality.
Those windowpanes had been cut from elsewhere with the machete and adapted for the System.
But judging by the current cracks, the damage wasn’t too severe—unsightly and slightly obstructive, but still usable.
It’s the apocalypse after all;Chen Ye didn’t care if the vehicle looked good, only whether it could keep him alive.
The convoy kept racing through the pitch-black rainy night.
The rain grew louder.
Chen Ye had to increase the wiper speed another notch.
Just as the wipers cleared the windshield, new rain blurred his vision again.
Fortunately, the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck’s exclusive trigger trait was operating at full strength.
The veteran drivers’ sixth sense allowed the truck to bolt forward steadily.
Chen Ye opened the radio;now was a necessary time for communication.
He hoped that dumbass wasn’t on the channel.
Sure enough, as soon as he turned it on, Chu Che’s voice came through.
After surviving together so long, there was at least some tacit understanding.
“Everyone, danger is not over yet, be careful and get out of here quickly. I can already see some bad scenes!”
Chu Che’s voice sounded serious over the radio.
“Copy!”
“Captain, what was that just now… what sequence?”
“I don’t know. There are too many sequences;I only know some of them. But now’s not the time to discuss this. Get away first!”
“Cough cough… you ignorant country bumpkins, you don’t even know this? How have you survived in this apocalypse—just by your ignorance and stupidity?” 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
While Chu Che intended to focus on driving, an annoying and somewhat arrogant voice cut in.
“Your Majesty, these rural idiots have no insight. Would you not graciously enlighten them and let them know your vast erudition?”
That thin, irritating duck-like voice appeared on the radio again.
Chen Ye’s eye twitched violently.
The urge to strike someone flared again.
He was almost unable to contain it.
Damn…
One annoying person would be bad enough, but now they had a sycophant too.
It was simply… infuriating!!!
Especially the sycophant.
Before, he called everyone “the common masses”!
Now he was calling them “country bumpkins”!
Chen Ye wanted to change the channel.
But the insufferable voice had him hooked.
He also wanted to hear what came next.
“Cough cough… This is the Quotation Sequence. The person in that crappy car is named Chen Hao. He’s a superhuman of the Quotation Sequence. Although the kid is as dumb and as rustic as you, this sequence is still very powerful.”
“Don’t you country bumpkins piss him off! Otherwise… hehe…”
Chen Hao?
Wasn’t that the name Xiao Zizai blurted out earlier?
Quotation Sequence?
That strong?
