Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 325: Xu Lina: I’ve done everything I could

Some people slept peacefully through the night.

Some people eavesdropped on many secrets through the night.

And some people had a rather unpleasant night.

It was a whole night, after all.

Although the current weather was far from the extreme conditions of Rong City and Yanzhou.

But for a person without sufficient warm clothing, enduring an entire night was still extremely uncomfortable.

That feeling could only be understood by those who had experienced it.

Xu Lina's condition at this moment was not good. She was squatting on the ground, arms wrapped around her shoulders, her hair already frosted with a layer of white, even her eyelashes were coated in frost.

Her entire body trembled incessantly, her face utterly devoid of color, as pale as a corpse's skin.

When Chen Ye woke up in the morning, with just a slight sense of awareness, he realized this woman still hadn't left.

This did surprise Chen Ye somewhat.

This woman was really... frighteningly persistent.

Chen Ye let out a soft sigh...

If this continued, this woman would die.

Chu Che had said, there weren't many people left in the world.

It was always better if one fewer died.

Chen Ye stood in the courtyard, looking at the tightly closed gate, separated from Xu Lina by the door.

Chen Ye understood very clearly that behind this door was that woman.

He knew exactly what this woman was thinking.

It definitely wasn't because she had fallen for his handsome looks and was clinging to him desperately.

If he didn't let this woman in, with her stubborn tenacity, she would probably continue tonight.

If this went on, this woman would likely die.

But, letting this woman in.

There was a risk of his secrets being exposed.

Although that risk was very low.

He wasn't a fool; he certainly wouldn't deliberately reveal his secrets in front of this woman.

But... there was always a chance of the unexpected.

What if...

Cautious as Chen Ye was, for the first time he felt somewhat conflicted.

Maybe... just kill this woman outright...

That would also save a lot of trouble.

This was the apocalypse.

A superhuman killing an ordinary person, no one would investigate.

Even Chu Che would at most complain a few times, saying he killed innocents indiscriminately.

But...

At this moment, Xu Lina stared fixedly at the gate of A13.

How she had gotten through this night, only she herself knew.

Countless times, she thought this door would open the next second, but the result always disappointed her.

This disappointment had been experienced countless times throughout the night, so many she couldn't even count them.

In the end, Xu Lina even began to doubt the meaning of her persistence.

Chen Ye was a cold-blooded person.

Xu Lina understood this more profoundly this time.

Since she was born, she had never encountered someone so difficult to deal with.

Even back then, she hadn't expended so much effort on one person.

One must know, relying on her looks, she often had many conveniences when doing things.

This convenience had nothing to do with gender.

Good-looking men also had the same resources.

Throughout this night, Xu Lina nearly broke down several times.

And so, in the cycle of emotions like doubt, expectation, disappointment, and hope.

The sky finally brightened.

Xu Lina leaned against the wall corner, slowly standing up.

Now, her entire body was stiff; staying in that position all night, it would be strange if she wasn't stiff.

Despite being a young body in her twenties, at this moment, Xu Lina felt like she was a seventy or eighty-year-old woman.

Xu Lina slowly moved her legs, shifting herself to a spot where the sunlight could reach.

The sunlight shone on her body, bringing Xu Lina a trace of warmth.

Xu Lina let out a long breath, the white vapor forming a steaming mist in the morning sunlight.

The corners of Xu Lina's eyes were slightly moist.

She didn't even want to wipe them.

Tears slowly accumulated in her eyes, gradually increasing.

Finally, two crystal-clear teardrops dripped down her cheeks.

But the expression on her face still showed no change.

Cold, disappointed, and with a trace of stubbornness.

Silent tears gathered at her perfect chin, dripping onto her clothes.

If it were before, she would definitely have cried unrestrainedly at this moment.

Crying until the world turned dark.

But this was no longer the familiar past she knew.

She... had no one to rely on.

To survive, she had to turn herself into tempered steel.

Even if she cried, she didn't want anyone to see.

Especially Chen Ye.

Because she knew that someone like Chen Ye wouldn't soften because of a woman's tears.

Xu Lina slightly eased the discomfort in her body, standing not far from the door, staring fixedly at the gate of A13, those beautiful eyes now holding back tears.

Only no one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

"Cough, cough..."

Two light coughs made the woman's body tremble slightly, appearing somewhat pitiful.

Clearly, something was wrong with the woman's body.

But just at this moment.

The gate of A13 opened.

Chen Ye stood at the doorway, immediately seeing the woman standing in the light.

The morning sunlight spilled over the woman's body.

The strands of her unkempt hair glowed in the morning light.

Her clothes were slightly wrinkled, but worn on her, they appeared exceptionally charming and full of allure.

That pale complexion, amidst the charm, also held a trace that evoked pity.

Like an abandoned kitten.

Combined with that morning light, the woman was as beautiful as a painting.

This woman seemed to have no moment when she wasn't attractive.

"You..."

Chen Ye only said one word.

Xu Lina's tears couldn't stop falling.

She wasn't a young girl waiting for her lover, but a warrior grasping an opportunity, desperately wanting to survive.

But tears still fell like broken strings of beads.

Not mixed with love, only with the desire to survive, to become a superhuman.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'm sorry!"

Xu Lina kept bowing to Chen Ye in apology.

But the teardrops just wouldn't stop.

She really didn't want to cry, didn't want to show her weakness before this man.

Everyone envied Xu Lina's relationship with Chen Ye.

Actually, only Xu Lina knew how fragile her relationship with Chen Ye really was.

Only she herself knew how much effort she had put in for this fragile relationship, how shameless she had been.

"Alright, stop crying!"

Chen Ye waved his hand, always feeling somewhat uncomfortable facing such situations.

After all, he had made a woman stay outside the house all night.

If this were before the apocalypse, he would never have done such a thing.

He was only trying to protect himself.

Both Xu Lina and he were doing what they believed was right.

"Mmm~~~"

Chen Ye's words made Xu Lina grit her teeth tightly, forcing herself not to cry out.

Only then did Xu Lina remember she still had a carton of Huazi cigarettes.

She hurriedly took the carton of Huazi from her bosom.

Even after such a hard night, Xu Lina still hadn't forgotten the Huazi.

Now seeing Chen Ye.

The woman immediately took it out.

That pretty face now wore a somewhat ingratiating expression.

Chen Ye wasn't polite either, reaching out to take it.

He took a deep look at the woman and said lightly, "You're thoughtful."

Xu Lina didn't know how to respond for a moment, just twisting the hem of her clothes with her index fingers, appearing somewhat awkward and nervous.

Chen Ye continued, "Starting today, you can move into A13 here."

"Of course, the space here is relatively small, you can only stay in the courtyard."

"You can find a tent yourself."

Stay in the courtyard?

Wasn't this a bit too much?

There were spare rooms inside the house.

But since Chen Ye said no, Xu Lina didn't hesitate, nodding repeatedly.

That secondary bedroom was right next to the room where Chen Ye slept.

Even if Chen Ye didn't have the habit of talking in his sleep at night, he still didn't want Xu Lina living inside the house.

There was another reason.

The reason Chen Ye didn't let Xu Lina stay in the secondary bedroom was also to set rules for Xu Lina.

This is my territory, I set the rules.

If you don't accept it, you can leave.

So what if it's too much.

Chen Ye didn't believe that if Xu Lina found out he could produce Sequence Serum, she wouldn't have other thoughts.

Chen Ye even somewhat regretted his decision to let Xu Lina stay in the courtyard.

He had still been a bit soft-hearted.

Just look at those people's attitudes toward Sequence Serum to know.

With this secret, even ten thousand times caution wasn't excessive.

"Also, you'll be responsible for housework. Meals aren't provided here, so cooking is also your job!"

Xu Lina still nodded.

"Your permitted areas are the courtyard, kitchen, bathroom, and living room!"

"You are not allowed to go to my room!"

Xu Lina nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Mr. Chen, I will follow your rules. Thank you for letting me stay in your courtyard."

Chen Ye didn't speak, still looking at Xu Lina, his voice faint as he said, "I know what you want."

"I don't guarantee I'll definitely help you get that thing!"

"So..."

Xu Lina lowered her head slightly, saying seriously, "I know!"

I have already done everything I can.

The rest, leave it to fate...
