Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 336: The Neon Girl’s Cry for Help

"There are a total of three Deputy City Lords in Oasis. Deputy City Lord Ding Shen is primarily responsible for public security, Deputy City Lord Zhou Jueshen is responsible for urban construction, and City Lord Ma Qing is responsible for city sanitation and health."

"Ma Qing is that Pharmacist Sequence superhuman!"

When she said the words "Sequence Serum," Xu Lina's breathing became slightly rapid.

During this period, Chen Ye had given Xu Lina many tasks.

It wasn't just about gathering information on Ding Shen, but also about this Pharmacist Sequence. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Some information was impossible for Chu Che to find out, but Xu Lina managed it quite easily.

And some information that was very difficult for Xu Lina wasn't such a hassle for Chu Che.

Compared to Ding Shen, Chen Ye was more interested in knowing the fate of this Pharmacist Sequence.

After all, this person was just like him—both could manufacture "Sequence Serum"!

"Then... why have we never heard any news about him?"

Logically speaking, if such a person really existed, Chen Ye and the others couldn't possibly be unaware.

You have to understand, Chen Ye and the others have been in Oasis for quite some time now.

To avoid attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives, none of them deliberately inquired about information regarding Sequence Serum.

But still, it shouldn't mean they have absolutely no news at all, right?

The situation felt strange, making Chen Ye somewhat uneasy.

Xu Lina shook her head, her face also wearing a puzzled expression: "I don't know. We went to ask around. I heard Deputy City Lord Ma Qing disappeared a long time ago, no one knows where he went."

"Some say Deputy City Lord Ma Qing left this place, others say Deputy City Lord Ma Qing died while out on a mission!"

"Anyway, there are all sorts of rumors. I couldn't confirm his whereabouts!"

Xu Lina truthfully reported all the information she had gathered.

There were no subjective guesses of her own mixed in.

She merely recounted the news she had heard.

This woman understood boundaries very well; she was an excellent assistant.

Hearing this result, Chen Ye's heart slowly sank.

Disappeared?

Are you kidding me?

A living person just vanished like that?

And a Pharmacist Sequence superhuman at that???

In such cases, nine times out of ten, they've been imprisoned.

It seemed his guess was most likely correct.

Probably because of the Sequence Serum!

If others found out he could mass-produce Sequence Serum...

Chen Ye buried the secret in his heart even deeper.

He would never tell a second person about this until he reached Sequence 9.

Just as Chen Ye waved his hand, intending to let Xu Lina go back to sleep.

Xu Lina hesitantly spoke up.

"Mr. Chen..."

"Is there something else?"

"Mr. Chen, I heard that you and Squad Leader Chu have devised a plan. I was wondering..."

Xu Lina's pretty face wore a cautious expression; while saying these words, she kept watching Chen Ye's facial expression.

Previously, when Xu Lina heard Boss Gao mention a task Squad Leader Chu had assigned him.

Xu Lina sensed danger.

Her persona in front of Chen Ye was that of a capable assistant who could help him solve problems.

But now, when there was a task, instead of giving it to her, it went to Boss Gao.

This gave Xu Lina a sense of crisis.

Although Xu Lina knew this matter might not be orchestrated by Chen Ye.

She still wanted to compete for it.

She wanted Chen Ye to notice her more, to see her capabilities.

Of course, if Chen Ye could appreciate her external appearance, she would be very happy too.

In Xu Lina's view, her physical appearance was also part of her capabilities.

It's just that this man in front of her didn't seem very interested in beauty.

That's why Xu Lina wanted to seize every possible opportunity.

If you don't fight, you get nothing. If you fight, there might be some possibility.

Xu Lina didn't know what effect doing this task well would have.

But Captain Chu would absolutely not treat Boss Gao poorly.

You have to understand, even the name "Fair Convoy" was given by Captain Chu.

Chen Ye understood; it turned out Xu Lina wanted to carry out that plan of sowing discord.

Chen Ye waved his hand: "If you want to do it, then go ahead. I'll inform Squad Leader Chu. You and Boss Gao work together to get this done properly!"

"Remember, this matter isn't as simple as you imagine."

"If something goes wrong, don't give us away."

Chen Ye's final sentence sounded somewhat heartless.

But Xu Lina didn't care at all; it wasn't her first day knowing what kind of person Chen Ye was.

Upon hearing Chen Ye agree, her pretty face visibly brightened.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I understand the rules!"

After saying that, the woman swayed her hips and left.

Although she wasn't deliberately acting seductive, she still looked somewhat provocative...

Xu Lina wasn't afraid of danger; living in the apocalypse, what danger hadn't she experienced?

What she feared most was having no value to be used.

That was the greatest danger for her.

...

This was a house that seemed somewhat special within the entire Oasis.

The exterior of the house didn't look luxurious; most houses in Oasis City had this style.

Simple, rugged, just livable.

But the area of this house was much larger than those other small bungalows.

Compared to the bungalows outside and the exquisite small courtyards in the Inner City, this house appeared quite unique.

The exterior walls of the house were pasted with many talisman papers. Some looked already worn and tattered, while others faintly shimmered with obscure specks of fluorescent light.

When the wind blew, the talisman papers on the house's exterior instantly fluttered like butterflies dancing on the walls, appearing very mysterious.

If this were before the apocalypse, there would probably have been long queues of people waiting to take photos.

This was a very unique place.

People in Oasis City called it the "Talisman House," and some called it the "Golden Nest."

The outside of the house was very lively. When Chen Ye arrived here.

Quite a few people were coming and going outside the room.

These people held food in their hands, queuing in a long line, exchanging a few talisman papers from a fair-faced young girl.

A sign stood beside the queue.

A sentence was written on the sign: "Queue here to purchase Concealment Talismans."

Some people were also coming and going at the main entrance; these people wore black clothes and black pants.

Some had excited expressions on their faces, while others wore blank, wooden looks.

On their heads, there was more or less some graying hair.

Of course, these people only had one thing in common: they were young. The oldest was under thirty, and the youngest even looked about the same age as Little Fish.

Chen Ye had seen such Black Clothes people before.

That was when he first entered Oasis.

Back then, he saw a person in black clothes and pants supporting a street lamp, recharging it.

Well, that's the word—"recharging."

It's just that the person he saw back then didn't seem to have so much white hair.

Oasis City had a rule: everyone in Oasis City must wear a Concealment Talisman.

Chen Ye didn't have any aversion to this rule.

The Concealment Talisman shielded living auras and could also allow this Oasis to exist longer.

Although this legendary Oasis was fake.

But if they could stay a bit longer, it would be good.

After all, migratory life wasn't always comfortable.

Chen Ye came here this time to purchase Concealment Talismans.

Actually, his Concealment Talismans had long been used up.

The last time, it was the Pink-haired Girl who shared one with him. Of course, it definitely wasn't obtained for free.

Later, after Chen Ye kicked Little Fish.

The Pink-haired Girl wasn't even willing to extend such sharing virtues anymore.

Thus, Chen Ye came here, intending to exchange for a few Concealment Talismans.

Concealment Talismans actually weren't expensive; otherwise, ordinary people couldn't afford them.

Just as Chen Ye was about to go queue, he saw a woman wearing a sailor uniform walk over.

The woman wasn't old, probably under twenty, with a slightly round face that looked cute and lively.

Although her looks couldn't compare to Sun Xixi or Xu Lina and the like.

She still had that campus "white moonlight" feeling.

The kind that made people want to protect her.

Calling her a woman might not be quite appropriate; calling her a young girl might be more accurate.

A young girl like this, before the apocalypse, probably wouldn't lack boys bringing her milk tea and chocolate every day.

Before Chen Ye could speak, the woman first gave Chen Ye a ninety-degree bow.

Then she spoke in a very respectful tone: "Hi~~~ Respected superhuman sir, is there anything I can help you with?!"

The young girl blinked her big eyes at Chen Ye, her face full of vibrant energy.

The young girl's accent was slightly strange.

Chen Ye hadn't expected that this was actually a neon girl.

"I plan to exchange for some Concealment Talismans!"

Chen Ye, unaffected by feminine charms, said directly.

A young girl like this, if punched, would probably cry for a long time.

The young girl bowed slightly, continuing with her slightly strange accent: "Respected superhuman sir, please follow me!"

"Superhumans are our honored guests; naturally, there's no need to queue!"

The young girl led the way in front. Many people around cast envious glances.

Especially those Black Clothes people; the envy and jealousy in their eyes almost seemed to materialize.

But when Chen Ye looked over, these Black Clothes people somewhat timidly avoided Chen Ye's gaze and lowered their heads.

Black Clothes people were such a complex group.

Having lived in Oasis longer, Chen Ye had learned some things about the Black Clothes.

These people, in order to obtain Sequence Serum, had paid unimaginable prices.

But in the end, they couldn't die, yet couldn't live properly.

Every day, tormented by desire and disappointment, some people, under such prolonged psychological states, became somewhat psychologically twisted.

He hadn't expected to enjoy such special treatment here too.

Chen Ye followed the neon girl in the sailor uniform to a small partitioned room.

The small room was arranged very cozily, even having a sofa and a cup of hot tea.

The whole process wasn't much to talk about; with dedicated service, Chen Ye handed the food he brought to this young girl.

The young girl bowed deeply to Chen Ye again: "Please wait a moment; someone will bring the talisman papers over shortly."

Throughout the process, the young girl seemed like a robot controlled by strict procedures, her facial expression smiling perfectly from start to finish.

Chen Ye glanced around slightly and only then noticed that in a couple of the other partitioned rooms, there were also people sitting, seemingly superhumans as well.

Similarly, a young man and a young woman were playing the role of servers.

The smiles on their faces were exactly the same as this neon girl's.

Chen Ye nodded to indicate he understood. Only then did the young girl in the sailor uniform leave.

Just as the young girl straightened up, Chen Ye saw a small paper ball roll over by his feet.

And the young girl acted as if she noticed nothing, got up, and left.

Chen Ye's Blood Eye captured a trace of pleading and despair hidden in the corner of the young girl's eye.

It seemed she was desperately praying that Chen Ye would definitely see that small paper ball.
