Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 286: Among the Survivors

Originally wanting to monopolize the Resentment Dragon's scale, it now seemed very difficult.

Besides Iron Lion, there were no fools in the convoy. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The Black Dragon was taken down by that previous "psycho" Delusion Sequence superhuman.

In principle, it should belong to him.

Unfortunately, that guy was long dead, and now this Resentment Dragon scale had become ownerless property.

Therefore, the five unanimously decided that this dragon scale would be shared among the five members of the convoy team, temporarily entrusted to the captain for safekeeping.

As for why it was five people and not four?

Come on, Iron Lion still counts as a person, okay?

Seizing this opportunity, Chen Ye came into contact with a piece of the Resentment Dragon's scale, only to find he couldn't appraise it at all.

Because he didn't have enough Slaughter Points.

Upgrading the Monster Pickup Truck earlier had almost completely drained all the Slaughter Points in his possession.

And appraising the Resentment Dragon's scale required twenty thousand Slaughter Points.

Just for an appraisal, it needed twenty thousand.

This made Chen Ye click his tongue in astonishment.

You should know, appraising the Eight-Limbed Human Face's tentacle before had only cost three thousand Slaughter Points.

Those other materials called "scraps" were only a few dozen points.

Twenty thousand Slaughter Points could definitely get him a much higher ranking in the numbered sequence.

Thus, the matter of the Resentment Dragon's scale was temporarily set aside.

Even if Chen Ye wanted to monopolize the Resentment Dragon's scale, he currently couldn't produce anything of equivalent value to exchange for it.

...

At this moment, Chen Ye had already set his sights on that fat guy among the chaotic crowd, finding him more and more peculiar the longer he looked.

Not to mention this fat guy's physique completely defying the typical apocalypse survivor archetype.

Just this fat guy's behavior and mannerisms alone felt very suspicious.

For example, this fat guy always liked to stand at the very back of the crowd, seemingly deliberately avoiding the superhumans' gazes.

Moreover, this fat guy seemed to have much greater strength than the other survivors.

Like just now, a relatively burly man tried to snatch something from the fat guy's arms, only to be easily pinned to the ground by him.

One last strange thing was that this fat guy was very pale, with delicate, tender skin.

There were plenty of such fat guys before the apocalypse.

But now it was the apocalypse. For an ordinary survivor to maintain such a physique and skin condition was very difficult.

Even Xu Lina, to maintain her figure and skin condition, didn't hesitate to trade food with other survivors for skincare products.

That was simply outrageous.

As if sensing Chen Ye's gaze, the fat guy burrowed deeper into the crowd.

Chen Ye chuckled and waved to the convoy members nearby.

Seeing Chen Ye seemed to be waving at her, a flash of delight appeared in Xu Lina's eyes.

She then tucked the hair by her ears, straightened her clothes a little, and finally walked over with her beautiful long legs.

"Mr. Chen, you were looking for me?"

A perfect smile appeared on Xu Lina's face.

Back in the day, to master this smile, she had studied many templates and practiced in front of the mirror for a long time.

Elegant, composed, with a touch of innocence.

Chen Ye pointed at the fat guy in the crowd and said, "Find a few people and go grab that fat guy!"

"Fat guy?"

Xu Lina turned to look into the distant crowd but didn't see the fat guy's figure.

However, that didn't stop Xu Lina from agreeing readily.

"Don't worry, leave this to me!"

Xu Lina strode off with her long legs.

If Mr. Chen said he was there, then he definitely was!

Returning to the crowd of survivors.

Curious glances were immediately cast her way.

Within the convoy now, everyone knew, everyone knew Xu Lina was single-mindedly trying to build a good relationship with Chen Ye.

Even though everyone knew Chen Ye wasn't very interested in this woman.

But no one dared to look down on her.

Even if Xu Lina wasn't Chen Ye's woman, she was definitely considered a woman with good relations with him.

After all, such a great beauty, right...

This woman also knew how to leverage influence, finding excuses to hang around Chen Ye's side whenever possible.

Therefore, even if others had ideas about Xu Lina, they didn't dare act recklessly.

No one could figure out exactly what her relationship with Chen Ye was.

Every so often, Xu Lina would even deliberately release some vague, suggestive rumors herself, fueling even more speculation.

Of course, these were the kind of rumors that, even if they reached Chen Ye's ears, wouldn't annoy him.

Chen Ye being willing to let her handle tasks was undoubtedly a strong signal and opportunity.

Xu Lina also understood that Chen Ye wasn't the type of man who lost his head at the sight of a woman, but if Chen Ye needed her to do things, she was more than happy to become his tool.

Just like Little Fish and Xiao Fu, becoming an assistant was good too.

"Sister Lina, what did Mr. Chen want with you?"

A woman in her thirties asked somewhat obsequiously.

Xu Lina ignored her, turning instead to look at a fierce-looking bald man nearby.

In the apocalypse, most people's hair was a mess due to long periods without grooming, with no real hairstyle to speak of.

But this bald man before her was somewhat special. Every so often, this man would use a sharpened small knife to shave his head, scraping off any newly grown hair completely clean.

Consequently, he always ended up with a bloody, mangled scalp.

This also added a ferocious edge to the man, resulting in no one in the convoy daring to provoke him.

This man was none other than the former leader of the four brothers.

The other three were either killed by Chen Ye, devoured by the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck, or never made it out of Rong City.

Only this one remained, the once locally infamous Boss Gao from before the apocalypse.

It must be said, Boss Gao managing to survive until now was something of a miracle.

Boss Gao raised his eyes, an unnatural flash of viciousness in his gaze, causing the surrounding survivors to edge away from him.

Perhaps it was also because of this deliberately maintained ferocity that Boss Gao lived relatively comfortably within the convoy.

Of course, there were a few who didn't take Boss Gao seriously.

Like Xu Lina...

This seemingly simple small group of survivors actually had waters far more complex and murky than those among the few superhumans like Chen Ye.

"Xu Lina, let's keep to our own territories and not interfere with each other. I don't want trouble."

Boss Gao's tone carried a warning.

Also wary of Xu Lina's ambiguous relationship with Chen Ye, the balance between Boss Gao and Xu Lina had always been delicate.

Xu Lina gave a charming smile, using a sickly-sweet voice to say, "Mr. Chen wants a few people to drag that fat guy out. Boss Gao, you figure it out!"

After saying this, Xu Lina paid him no further mind, simply found a spot to sit down, pulled out a small mirror from her belongings, and began penciling her eyebrows and applying powder.

Once Boss Gao caught the person, she would have to make another appearance in front of Chen Ye. This time, she absolutely had to leave a good impression.

Boss Gao shot a suspicious glance at Xu Lina, his eyes darting around, clearly indicating his inner turmoil.

He knew Xu Lina was using Chen Ye's name to pressure him.

But there was nothing he could do about this kind of thing.

He wanted to stay as far away from Chen Ye as possible, but now...

Gritting his teeth, Boss Gao randomly pointed at a few people. "You... and you, come with me!"

Ignoring the changes in their expressions, Boss Gao stood up and headed towards the crowd of newly joined survivors.

As Chu Che got closer and closer to Sequence 3.

His current Concealment Barrier was much larger than before.

Previously, it was only three hundred meters in diameter.

But now, Chu Che's Concealment Barrier could reach nearly nine hundred meters in diameter.

It was estimated that when it reached a thousand-meter diameter range, that would be when Chu Che officially became Sequence 3.

These newly joined survivors had also been forcibly herded into the Concealment Barrier by Xue Nan.

Therefore, even with the addition of a group of about one hundred and fifty people.

Squad Leader Chu's Concealment Barrier range was still sufficient.

These newcomers were still somewhat wary and uneasy about the arrival of Boss Gao and the others.

Fortunately, Xue Nan had been keeping things under control, so no chaos erupted.

After Boss Gao explained Chen Ye's request, Xue Nan looked towards Chen Ye's direction, then also started helping search within the crowd.

Sure enough, they spotted a pale, chubby fat guy, squatting in an inconspicuous part of the crowd, looking very shifty.
