Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 280: Paranoia

Little Dezi, who had been beaten black and blue, struggled to stretch out his hand, looking utterly pitiful.

If a classic background soundtrack were added at this moment, it would definitely become one of the year's most melodramatic plotlines.

The man standing before the floor-to-ceiling glass window cast a cold glance at Little Dezi, then shifted his gaze to Chen Ye.

An aura befitting a superior naturally emanated from him.

If this were before the apocalypse, seeing someone like this, you'd most likely think this guy had some serious, deep background.

Unfortunately, the stuttering man beside him had already sold this fellow across the way out completely.

This man had forsaken all possible offensive power, using all his Supernatural Power to materialize this Apocalyptic Fortress.

Especially that third floor; even Hatred couldn't destroy it.

This showed just how cautious and careful this person was.

It formed a stark contrast with his imposing appearance.

"Hmph, people from small, backwater places are always this crude!"

Chen Ye's eyebrows twitched violently.

Holy crap...

This tone...

"Little Dezi, those who insult Us, We will absolutely not let them off!"

"Such lowly individuals are merely weeds that sprout from small, impoverished places!"

"These kinds of people aren't even qualified to become Our subjects!"

These voices all came from the loudspeaker, making Chen Ye's eyelids twitch.

Holy crap...

The man in white stood on the third floor of the Apocalyptic Fortress, looking askance at Chen Ye with the gaze of a superior looking down on an inferior.

It seemed he intended to suppress Chen Ye through sheer presence.

Chen Ye licked his lips, a grin spreading across his face.

He threw an arm around the honest, stuttering man beside him. "Brother, why don't you just join our convoy instead!"

"Our convoy has five Superhumans. With you, we'd have a full six Superhumans."

"Our convoy's whole thing is fairness. If there's something you don't want to do, no one will force you. How about it?"

"It's way better than following this guy!"

The man on the third floor of the Apocalyptic Fortress snorted disdainfully. "Hmph, you little country bumpkin, do you think Chen Hao is like you? Once he promises Us something, he'll do it even if it kills him!"

"Country bumpkin, let Us tell you one more thing."

"People of the Quotation Sequence are all obsessive fanatics. The importance Chen Hao places on a promise is something someone like you can't even begin to fathom. Once they decide on something, no one can change their mind."

Sure enough, every Sequence had its own side effects.

Like this Fantasist Sequence.

Imagining oneself to be an emperor, and even influencing a loyal lackey to act as the chief eunuch.

And the Quotation Sequence before him placed extraordinary importance on one's own promises.

Once a promise was made, they would fulfill it even if it meant death.

Chu Che's lips curled up at the corner, a look of enjoying the show appearing on his face.

Trying to stump Chen Ye with something like this probably wasn't very likely.

Getting Chen Ye to do a good deed was hard!

But getting Chen Ye to do something annoying or disgusting? That was practically child's play for him.

This guy had more bad ideas than there were stars in the sky.

That self-proclaimed emperor fellow was probably about to be in for some bad luck.

Sure enough, a troubled expression appeared on Chen Hao's face.

"I... I..."

He "I-ed" for a long time, yet Chen Hao couldn't get out a complete sentence.

Chen Ye completely ignored that self-important idiot, directly throwing an arm over Chen Hao's shoulder and cutting him off.

"Brother, we both have the surname Chen. I won't screw you over!"

"Alright, how about this: I won't make you break your promise. We'll tie you up and take you with us. That way, it won't count as you breaking your promise, but as me forcing you. I'll take the blame for you. How's that?"

Chen Hao widened his eyes, looking at this person who shared his surname, momentarily at a loss for words.

Chen Ye turned his head to glance at the third floor of the Apocalyptic Fortress.

The man who had been standing before the floor-to-ceiling glass window had already disappeared.

Chen Ye grinned...

Clearly, this Apocalyptic Fortress convoy was extremely abnormal.

This convoy had no Pathfinder, not even conventional combat units.

There was only one Superhuman of the Fantasist Sequence, plus one of the Quotation Sequence.

The Superhuman of the Fantasist Sequence was already affected by the side effects, believing himself to be the emperor.

And he had used all his Supernatural Power to materialize this Apocalyptic Fortress.

And this Quotation Sequence Superhuman placed excessive importance on promises. Because of a lost bet, he had been serving this Fantasist Sequence Superhuman ever since.

The relationship between the two wasn't good.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have sold out this so-called "emperor" so thoroughly earlier.

But who told this guy named Chen Hao was an obsessive fanatic!

The relationship between the two seemed fragile and strange, yet it was miraculously maintained.

Both Chen Hao and Chen Ye shared the surname Chen.

But their personalities were as different as night and day.

Chen Ye didn't take things like oaths or promises to heart at all.

He had zero psychological burden when it came to tricking people.

But Chen Hao, simply because of a promise made after losing a bet, had been protecting this convoy all along.

Although the content of the bet was unknown, and the content of the promise was also unknown, one could probably guess.

It was probably something like protecting the Apocalyptic Fortress or this "emperor" or something similar.

"Alright, enough talking. It's getting late, we need to leave too!"

Chu Che spoke up.

As the Pathfinder, he was constantly monitoring changes in the weather and the situation with the Anomalies.

Since arriving in this land, the weather changes had been manageable.

Unlike the previous violent storms, the weather changes in this area were quite normal. Apart from a slight breeze, there wasn't any particularly severe weather.

As for Anomalies.

Chu Che sensed a powerful Anomaly aura dozens of kilometers away.

This Anomaly seemed to move quite fast and was also unstable.

But currently, it didn't seem to have any intention of coming this way.

It was as if it hadn't detected the presence of living beings here yet.

But if they stayed here much longer, they might attract its notice.

Chen Ye had no choice but to abandon his idea of luring Chen Hao away.

Within the convoy, on such matters, the Pathfinder held absolute authority.

If Chu Che said it was time to leave, he definitely had his own reasons.

There was no need to doubt that.

Chen Ye patted Chen Hao's shoulder. "Brother, think it over carefully. Following a convoy like this, you won't even know how you'll die."

Little Dezi also got up from the ground with a very ugly expression and returned to the Apocalyptic Fortress.

Seeing the surrounding survivors looking at him, their eyes holding hidden meanings, Little Dezi flew into a rage. "What are you looking at? What are you looking at? You commoners, why aren't you all getting back to work?"

So, inside the Apocalyptic Fortress, the people on the first floor really were called "commoners."

Back inside the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck.

Ignition, shift into gear!

The Apocalyptic Pickup Truck struggled twice before slowly starting up.

After this experience, the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck was even more battered. There were still about forty hours left until the upgrade finished.

However, Chen Ye wasn't planning to worry about the pickup's upgrade for the moment.

With one hand on the steering wheel.

He used his other hand to take Hatred off his lower back.

During the last battle at Divine Elephant Village, Hatred had devoured quite a few wraiths.

Ever since leaving Divine Elephant Village, it had been quiet, showing no activity.

When he used Hatred to chop that giant rock earlier, he sensed that Hatred felt a bit different.

It was probably because it had fully digested all those wraiths it absorbed before.

You see, Hatred's fourth ability, "Hidden Edge," had the function of absorbing resentment to improve its numerical ranking.

He hadn't had a chance to check earlier. Now he needed to take a good look.

To see what Hatred's current numerical ranking was.
