Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 293: Clever People

Xiao Fu let out a slight sigh.

Just by looking at these people's reactions, he knew exactly what they were thinking.

People always think they're smarter than others, that no one can see through their schemes.

In reality, most are just ordinary people, and the difference in intelligence isn't that great.

The gap lies only in the positions they stand in and the experiences they've had.

But some people stubbornly believe they can fool everyone.

Those little tricks and schemes are actually quite clear to everyone.

However, Xiao Fu couldn't control such matters too much.

He was still that warm-hearted university student from before.

But after experiencing so much, he also understood that some people were simply beyond saving.

Xiao Fu continued patiently explaining the convoy's ironclad rules.

"The convoy's second ironclad rule is to gather supplies while doing everything possible not to fall behind!"

No one objected to this one.

Some people nodded secretly, firmly committing this rule to memory.

"The convoy's third ironclad rule: fairness is the foundation of everything!"

"In the convoy, if you want anything, you must offer something corresponding in exchange, such as your labor or other things."

"The convoy still has many job opportunities, like helping maintain hygiene inside the vehicles, helping cook, or helping chop firewood!"

"If you participate in gathering supplies, the supplies you obtain are your personal property, and no one can take them."

"Of course, if..."

"So, as long as we're willing to put in the effort, we won't starve to death in the convoy."

"Our convoy's name is the Fair Convoy!"

"..."

Xiao Fu began chattering on, introducing the situation within the convoy.

Some people listened attentively.

While others had flickering eyes, seemingly thinking about all sorts of messy things.

With more people in the convoy, thoughts and intentions became more complicated.

Similar small-group explanations were happening in many places around the camp.

"Xiao Fu, I heard there's a vehicle in the convoy that's a Wonder. Is it that pickup truck?"

Someone suddenly asked aloud.

Xiao Fu was taken aback for a moment, but still said, "Yes. Matters concerning superhumans and Wonders, I believe everyone has heard about them."

"Our convoy has five superhumans. We also have Wonders, though I'm not too clear on the specific details."

"As for the vehicle you asked about, I can tell you very clearly: it is a Wonder!"

"That vehicle belongs to Mr. Chen Ye. No matter who you provoke, don't provoke him!"

"Remember, in this convoy, if you offend other superhumans, you might still survive. But if you offend Mr. Chen, you can only pray for your own good fortune..."

Xiao Fu looked seriously at the man who asked the question, his tone extremely grave.

"How could we! We were just curious! Just curious!"

The man shrank his neck back, his expression somewhat awkward.

The reason Xiao Fu told this man the vehicle was a Wonder was precisely to convey a warning.

Moreover, these people had just joined the convoy; it wouldn't be long before they found out anyway. This wasn't exactly a secret.

It's just that Xiao Fu, being an ordinary person, didn't know too much about Wonders and superhumans.

Even the man who asked the question only had a general understanding of superhumans and Wonders.

However, the flicker in the man's eyes indicated his current thoughts were far from honorable.

The man lowered his head and exchanged a glance with the person beside him. The two of them tacitly looked down.

A Wonder...

And a vehicle at that...

If that vehicle were ours, how wonderful that would be...

Only, the look the person beside him gave this man held a bit of disdain and resentment.

Because this guy had previously been a "Noble" from the second floor of the Apocalyptic Fortress.

The reason he wasn't purged by Xue Nan was mainly because he had only been on the second floor for a week.

Yet even in just one week, he was on the verge of being purged.

Xue Nan had hesitated for a long time back then before deciding to spare him.

After all, the number of humans was getting fewer and fewer.

...

After Chen Ye finished practicing the "Moon Devouring Technique," he turned around and went to talk to Chu Che.

Entering the tent, he discovered there was actually cold tea broth inside.

Chen Ye unceremoniously plopped down.

"Squad Leader Chu, this isn't very brotherly of you. Having such good tea, why didn't you call the brothers to share?"

Chu Che had originally been copying the "captain's notebook" he obtained from Huang Di.

Originally, Chu Che hadn't planned to copy it.

After all, the person was gone.

But now the situation was different.

The notebook's owner was still alive, so the notes he had taken earlier had to be returned to their original owner.

Therefore, he could only copy them down.

This was an unwritten rule among captains.

Everyone tacitly followed this rule.

He hadn't expected Chen Ye to suddenly appear.

Seeing the tea that hadn't been put away yet, a flicker of heartache passed through Chu Che's eyes.

With this guy Chen Ye here, probably not much of this tea would remain.

Then he said somewhat irritably, "Not sleeping in the middle of the night, what are you looking for me for?"

"What else could it be? To chat with you... Anyway, I can't sleep. During the day today, you seemed restless. Is something wrong?"

Chu Che let out a slight sigh. There was no need to hide it from Chen Ye, so he directly told him about sensing an anomaly with incredibly fast speed.

"Very fast? How fast?"

Chu Che thought for a moment: "Faster than the wind!"

"If it discovered us at its current speed, could we escape?"

Chu Che shook his head: "We couldn't escape. That's also why I kept asking Chen Hao about the vehicle!"

"Alright... With our current strength, the convoy has two Sequence 3s. It should be fine!"

"Two Sequence 3s? Heh..."

Chu Che smiled bitterly: "Just two Sequence 3s. This level of strength can only be said to be a bit stronger than before. Some anomalies aren't something you can handle just by being strong. And..."

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this. Let me show you this notebook... It's very interesting..."

"This notebook might help alleviate our future food crisis..."

After saying this, Chu Che handed the notebook he was copying to Chen Ye.

This notebook was personally recorded by the little fatty.

It contained a lot of solid information.

For example, it recorded a type of plant that bore red fruit. After picking it, let it sit for twelve hours. Once the fruit turns red, it can be eaten.

There were one or two similar records...

Although the convoy hadn't encountered this strange fruit yet, this was still incredibly precious knowledge...

...

Just as Chen Ye was discussing these topics in Chu Che's tent.

"Boss Gao, why are you here too?"

Old He looked with surprise and uncertainty at the somewhat haggard bald man before him.

In Old He's impression, Boss Gao was a big shot. Back in the day, wanting to see him wasn't necessarily an opportunity.

This was a figure who, back then, could make the ground shake for miles around just by stamping his foot.

But now...

Tattered clothes, a bald head, a haggard expression...

No matter what, this couldn't be connected to the formidable Boss Gao of the past.

"It's the apocalypse. What's so strange about seeing me? It's just you..."

Boss Gao couldn't quite remember where he had met this person.

After all, before the apocalypse, he was truly glorious, had met far too many people, and ordinary small fries simply couldn't leave an impression on him.

Old He explained for a long time before Boss Gao nodded somewhat blankly, having a vague impression.

Old He plopped down beside Boss Gao. Speaking of bygone days, he sighed with emotion.

Boss Gao was also drawn by Old He's words into remembering the days before the apocalypse.

If it were before the apocalypse, a woman like Xu Lina would absolutely be at his mercy.

But now, Chen Ye's sudden closeness last time had greatly boosted Xu Lina's prestige among the survivors. Now she actually seemed to be slightly overpowering him.

Although he knew this woman had no real relationship with Chen Ye.

But he couldn't rule out the possibility.

Many people knew Chen Ye kept his distance from women, but still, no one dared to touch Xu Lina.

As they chatted, Boss Gao's mood also became somewhat low.

"Boss Gao, if there was a chance, would you want to leave this place? Let's find a good spot, establish our own survivor base. How about it?"

This Old He was precisely the man who had questioned Xiao Fu earlier.
