Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 303: The Legendary Oasis, Preparation

Watching the convoy start moving in the direction he had guided them.

Chu Che let out a slight sigh of relief.

In his perception, that anomaly as fast as the wind was still in the distance, showing no signs of approaching the group.

Although he hadn't seen this anomaly with his own eyes, Chu Che could be certain that if the convoy encountered such a creature, they wouldn't get away without losing a few lives.

Fewer deaths were better than more.

Humanity was already having a hard enough time.

Following Chu Che's guidance, the convoy pressed forward.

This was a completely unfamiliar environment.

The rolling grasslands stretched into the distance, with no end in sight.

The air was constantly filled with the scent of green grass clogging the nostrils.

In the cities, the cattle and horses called this the smell of freedom.

But after these past few days of adjustment, everyone was slowly getting used to it.

The convoy crushed the grass, leaving behind black tire tracks like ugly scars.

Chen Ye drove the Monster Pickup Truck amidst the convoy.

He could clearly feel that this vehicle was different.

After the upgrade from the overflow of anomaly power, the engine's power was noticeably stronger than before.

When navigating some uphill sections before, it wouldn't have been impossible to climb, but now, with just a light tap on the gas pedal, the Monster Pickup Truck could charge up quickly.

Once, while tackling a particularly challenging steep slope.

The tires started to slip, and the Monster Pickup Truck began sliding sideways down the slope's angle.

Before Chen Ye could even react.

He saw a tentacle emerge from the gap in the wheel arch, lightly wrapping around a protruding large rock ahead, instantly pulling the pickup back on track.

Once the vehicle was back on course, the tentacle instantly retracted as if nothing had happened.

This scene caused quite a stir of amazement among those who witnessed it.

Chen Ye was also a bit surprised.

Occasionally, they could see some small animals in the distance, which vanished the moment they spotted the convoy.

It's just that none of these small animals were familiar to anyone.

Some looked quite adorable.

While others had bizarre, strange appearances.

Back in Yanzhou, Rong City, and Fog City, such small creatures were extremely rare.

In fact, they were practically never seen.

Most of what they encountered were anomalies.

Except for that one time at Fairy Lake...

Of course, there was also that time when fleeing from Rong City, Chen Ye had seen a type of goat...

Probably no one thought that goat was easy to bully.

But now, these creatures were clearly much more numerous.

This was a good sign.

It's just that none of these creatures were recognizable.

"Hey hey... Squad Leader Chu, look ahead! Two o'clock direction!"

Little Fish's excited voice came through the radio.

Chen Ye looked up and saw a tall deer in the distance.

It was actually... a deer! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Is this... an anomaly?"

Chen Ye's skeptical voice was the first to come over the radio.

"No, I don't sense any anomaly aura!"

Chu Che's voice transmitted from the radio.

"*Slurp*... Squad Leader Chu, we... haven't had meat in a long time."

Little Fish's somewhat greedy voice came through.

Chu Che said cautiously, "Let's observe a bit more, don't act rashly!"

Many survivors in the convoy also spotted the distant deer, and quite a few felt their mouths start watering uncontrollably.

As the convoy slowly approached.

When they reached a certain distance.

Only then did everyone see clearly just how big this deer was.

This deer's back stood over three meters off the ground, its body packed with muscular definition.

If they could really take down this deer, it would be enough for the entire convoy to have a good feast.

Due to long-term malnutrition, many people in the convoy had sallow, thin faces, and some were even starting to show physical issues.

For this situation, Doctor Luo didn't have many good solutions.

Under these conditions of lacking medicine and medical care.

When survivors fell ill, they just had to tough it out.

Doctor Luo was the one Chen Ye had held a knife to his neck to perform the eye removal surgery on.

He was now the convoy's doctor.

Just as everyone was getting restless.

That extremely robust giant deer lowered its head to graze on the grass.

The moment it lowered its head, people saw two infant arms extending from the back of its skull.

Plump, chubby infant arms, just growing right out of the deer's occiput.

Not only that, several thin, long, tapeworm-like creatures emerged from beneath the deer's belly.

These creatures wriggled unconsciously...

For a moment, everyone fell completely silent, and no one mentioned wanting venison anymore.

Although there was no anomaly aura, anyone with half a brain could see this giant deer had serious issues.

Over the next while, the group still encountered quite a few animals.

Some animals looked genuinely harmless, not even sporting human faces or hands.

Some people's thoughts started stirring again.

"Squad Leader Chu, are you sure those things have no anomaly aura?"

Chen Ye couldn't hold back; he hadn't had fresh meat in a while either.

That canned braised pork Chu Che had yesterday was really not good.

"In my perception, there really isn't any!"

"Squad Leader Chu, how about sending someone to hunt a couple to try? If we eat them and don't die, maybe we'll have another food source in the future!"

"Most of the supplies we're scavenging now are expired. Relying solely on those few potatoes and lettuce we're growing isn't enough!"

Chen Ye's method was essentially testing with human lives.

Sure enough, Chu Che objected, "Don't even think about it. We're not at the point of desperation yet!"

"Yezi, there really aren't many humans left!"

"It's been a whole year, how many people have you encountered?"

Chen Ye curled his lip, "Alright, you're the captain, what you say goes!"

Although he didn't really agree in his heart, Chen Ye still accepted Chu Che's decision, after all, he was the leader.

Chen Ye had no intention of being a troublemaker in the convoy.

Over the next two days, the convoy returned to its previous rhythm.

Daily aimless migration, sometimes moving forward ten or so kilometers, then suddenly, without warning, having to turn back.

The newly joined survivors hadn't encountered this before and were somewhat confused.

Their previous migration methods were quite different from this.

"This is Squad Leader Chu's ability. A Pathfinder can sense anomaly auras. Squad Leader Chu is leading us to avoid detection by anomalies!"

"Oh... I see!"

"By the way, I heard you have those talismans that can shield living auras? Then why do you still migrate? Wouldn't it be better to settle in one place?"

"Sigh... It's not that easy. Do you think those anomalies are just sitting still? The longer we stay in one place, the stronger the living aura there becomes. Those talismans aren't omnipotent. If even a hint of living aura leaks out, you know what happens..."

Today, the convoy chose a place with decent scenery to camp.

The convoy's next plan was to find a suitable location to scavenge more supplies.

With more people in the convoy, resource consumption had increased significantly.

The convoy encountered another thorny problem.

The convoy's fuel reserves were running dangerously low.

The convoy had traveled for a long time but still hadn't come across a roadside gas station.

This land was no longer the place they used to live in.

Everyone's hearts grew heavy. Would they really have to abandon the vehicles and migrate on foot?

Also today, after two days of observation, Little Fatty finally made up his mind.

He planned to show everyone the map to the legendary Oasis.

Another thing he hadn't expected was that the convoy's travel route over the past two days had, by sheer coincidence, brought them closer to the direction of the legendary Oasis.

According to the markings on this simple map, they could reach that legendary Oasis in less than a week.

When the blood moon hung high, the camp fell into silence, and soft snores surrounded them.

Little Fatty, holding this simple map, entered Chu Che's tent.

At the same time, Chen Ye opened his eyes; today's session of the Moon Devouring Technique cultivation had just ended.

Chen Ye had a feeling that with his persistent cultivation during this period, perhaps Sequence 3 was just around the corner!
