Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 326: Athlete Sequence

And so, Xu Lina, dragging her exhausted body, moved into the small courtyard of A13.

The woman, with her frail physique, struggled to haul the large tent, looking very strained.

From time to time, her coughing could be heard.

The woman's face grew increasingly pale.

Clearly, she had fallen ill because of last night's ordeal.

However, Chen Ye had no intention of helping her.

He just watched her busy herself from the side, his brow gradually furrowing into a knot.

Chen Ye realized he might have just landed himself a problem.

Was it worth it?

To be honest, Oasis City wasn't that big to begin with.

The habitable areas were even fewer.

Even though there was an Architect Sequence superhuman in Oasis City, building an entire city wasn't an easy feat, at least not in a short time.

Therefore, many ordinary newcomers had joined the construction crews.

As long as you weren't lazy, you could always find a job in Oasis City.

Just as he reached the doorway, he saw Sun Xixi and Little Fish standing there brushing their teeth.

Little Fish still had that same small, cocky look.

Even after seeing Chen Ye, she still acted as if she hadn't noticed him.

This little girl was just too well-protected by Sun Xixi.

She had no real concept of what superhumans were.

Chen Ye didn't mind Little Fish's attitude.

He just planned to find a secluded spot later and give the little girl a couple of kicks in the rear to settle the score.

In stark contrast to Little Fish was the Pink-haired Girl.

When this girl saw Chen Ye, she energetically waved a greeting at him.

Though with her mouth full of foam, she couldn't say anything clearly for the moment.

Since Chen Ye and Chu Che's group had arrived at the Oasis one after the other, the Oasis staff had arranged their accommodations in the order of arrival.

Suddenly, she seemed to see a graceful figure at the entrance of A13.

That familiar silhouette, those looks that weren't inferior to her own.

The Pink-haired Girl was slightly stunned, unsure what she was feeling inside.

Unconsciously, she glanced towards the main gate of A13.

Seeing Xu Lina actually setting up a tent in the courtyard.

The Pink-haired Girl blinked, then a strange expression appeared on her face as she gave Chen Ye a thumbs-up.

Chen Ye snorted coldly, which counted as his response to the Pink-haired Girl.

Little Fish rolled her eyes, thinking to herself: boring adults.

Right at that moment, a cool, knife-carrying young man walked over from a distance.

He happened to see this scene.

The young man's eyes were filled with suspicion.

He suspected he had been set up.

His gaze shifted suspiciously between Chen Ye and the Pink-haired Girl.

After all, the Pink-haired Girl had teamed up with Chu Che just yesterday.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have traded his meatworms for such a low price, and three of them at once.

Three of them!

The reproductive rate of these meatworms was extremely low. Trading away three was enough to make the young man's heart ache so much he couldn't sleep at night.

It wasn't just the young man who showed up here.

A man also appeared not far away.

This was the same man who had sold the Heart Engine to the Pink-haired Girl and Chu Che's group yesterday.

Both of them looked at Chen Ye and Sun Xixi with that same suspicious gaze.

Sun Xixi immediately sensed trouble.

She quickly told Little Fish to go find Chu Che.

To deal with these two guys, only the barefoot, bald Captain Chu could handle them with ease.

Sure enough, when Squad Leader Chu appeared with a beaming smile.

The man who had traded the Heart Engine said with a dark face, "Captain Chen, you know each other?"

When operating in Oasis City, Chu Che mostly used Chen Ye's name.

Within the team, members still addressed each other as "Chu Che" or "Captain Chu."

Chu Che was momentarily stunned, seemingly not yet accustomed to the title "Captain Chen."

But he quickly caught on and hurriedly explained, "We seemed to have met once at March Street yesterday, never thought we'd live so close!"

"What's up, Brother Xu, you know him?"

The man's name was Xu Linhao. He was about 1.9 meters tall. Although not as burly as Iron Lion, he had a well-proportioned, athletic build.

He looked very much like a pre-apocalypse athlete.

As for his sequence, the man hadn't said, and Chu Che hadn't asked.

If they had met in the wilderness, people might still share their sequence names when greeting to build rapport.

But here at the Oasis.

Superhumans seemed much more cautious. When greeting anyone, they would at most give their name.

The young man and the man were still somewhat suspicious, their eyes constantly shifting between Chen Ye, Chu Che, and the Pink-haired Girl.

They didn't even spare the idle Little Fish standing to the side.

Of course, Little Fish just rolled her eyes at the two of them.

They didn't pay too much attention to the rebellious behavior of a child.

What followed was simple.

Ding Dong appeared and took away the cool, silent young man in black clothes.

Today, she was going to teach the young man how to plant these potatoes and lettuce.

Although these two Ideal Grain Seeds were easy to care for, there were still some tricks to improving the rate of high-quality seeds.

As for Xu Linhao, he had come specifically today to exchange the engines for Chu Che and Sun Xixi.

The two of them had nearly emptied their savings for these two engines.

They had even borrowed some from Chen Ye.

Of course, Chen Ye didn't have much either. In the end, helpless, Chen Ye had to take out his own food reserves to secure these two engines.

Because of this, Chu Che and Sun Xixi were essentially in debt to Chen Ye.

However, when Chen Ye suggested using their share of the Resentment Dragon Scale to settle the debt, the two of them strongly objected.

They said Chen Ye was delusional.

The process of installing the Heart Engines was straightforward.

After Xu Linhao finished helping Chu Che and Sun Xixi with the installation, the two of them got into their vehicles to test them out.

They felt the horsepower was much greater than before.

"Remember, if you want to use blood as fuel, you can't just pour it directly into the fuel tank..."

"You can draw the blood into a syringe, then inject it into this spot..."

Xu Linhao told Chu Che and the Pink-haired Girl the method for using blood as fuel to power the engine.

He even gifted them an extra-large glass syringe each.

During their casual chat, Xu Linhao also mentioned that he would be participating in the No-Rules Race.

Chu Che asked doubtfully, "You already sold us your engines, and you're still going to compete?"

Xu Linhao gave Chu Che a look as if he were an idiot, then laughed, "Heh heh... Don't worry, I won't be racing against you with four wheels!"

"That would be too much of a bully."

His words were outrageously arrogant.

"If you're not using four wheels, are you planning to use a bicycle?"

The Pink-haired Girl's question wasn't random; she was trying to fish for information from Xu Linhao. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Unexpectedly, Xu Linhao, completely unguarded, said, "That's right, I plan to use a bicycle, heh heh... But, a word of advice, if you underestimate me, you'll suffer a big loss!"

As he said this, Xu Linhao's eyes were confident, his back straight, looking like a javelin.

Chu Che sized up Xu Linhao for a long moment before saying, "If I'm not mistaken, you're probably the Athlete Sequence?"

Surprised that Chu Che had named his sequence in one go.

Xu Linhao was momentarily stunned, then laughed heartily, "Hahaha... Captain Chen, I never expected you to even know about the Athlete Sequence. Since you guessed it, I won't hide it from you. The championship for this No-Rules Race is mine."

"Alright, I'm off, Captain Chen, Miss Sun. See you on the track!"

After saying that, the guy waved very coolly and left, looking incredibly cocky.

This person seemed utterly confident about the No-Rules Race from start to finish.

Chu Che frowned slightly, watching the departing figure.

"Squad Leader Chu, is the Athlete Sequence strong?"

The Pink-haired Girl asked.

Chu Che thought for a moment and said, "Every sequence is strong. But, with this Athlete Sequence, it's not a question of strength. People with this sequence are often very troublesome."

"Especially in sports competitions, it's almost their most proficient domain."

"It seems this race won't be so simple."

"That cool kid from earlier will probably also participate in this No-Rules Race!"

"Not just him, but also that Little Fatty. If he gets the Wonder's Heart and relies on that Apocalyptic Fortress..."

"The trouble might be a bit significant."
