Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 371: Ordinary People’s Struggles in the End of the World
"Snore... snore... snore..."
Sure enough, Iron Lion's ability to sleep was truly unrivaled.
They hadn't even exchanged ten sentences total before Chen Ye heard Iron Lion's snoring.
"You... you always sleep so soundly, it's really enviable!"
He fished a cigarette out from his chest pocket.
"Inhale~~~ Exhale~~~"
A puff of smoke breath was exhaled.
Since Chen Ye didn't have much stock left on hand now, he had also been smoking a lot less lately.
Of course, if one was willing to take risks, those could still be found in larger cities.
Just not anywhere near the Oasis.
The towns and villages near the Oasis had basically been scavenged by Superhumans more than once.
...
Zhou Xiaoxiao was also staying in this small courtyard today.
This woman had been a bit distracted ever since she injected the Sequence Serum.
The burns on her body had already been treated simply.
Almost every minute, Zhou Xiaoxiao would try to sense the changes within herself.
Unfortunately, she discovered nothing.
Zhou Xiaoxiao grew more and more fearful in her heart.
The Sequence Serum was not a hundred percent guarantee of a successful awakening either.
Some people, even after using the Sequence Serum, were simply unable to awaken.
This situation wasn't unheard of in the Oasis either.
She suspected she might be that kind of constitution, completely incapable of awakening.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's current state of mind was exactly like the mindset of checking your scores after the college entrance exams.
...
On the other side.
Xu Lina inserted the Sequence Serum into her body.
The slight stinging pain didn't cause any change in this woman's expression.
Watching the blue liquid slowly inject into her body.
Xu Lina's expression also became tense.
For the sake of the Sequence Serum, she had put in no small amount of effort.
For example, this Unlimited Match, only she herself knew how terrified she had been.
But for the sake of the Sequence Serum, looking at it now, everything was worth it...
...
This is... a diary?
Who would have thought, Boss Gao, a man who looked so rough and crude, actually kept a diary.
It was truly somewhat...
Bored out of his mind and unable to sleep anyway, Chen Ye remembered that Chen Hao had shoved a diary belonging to Boss Gao into his hand earlier.
Since there were no novels to read now, let alone movies or TV shows.
Chen Ye went and dug out this diary.
Might as well kill some time.
This diary looked very ordinary, like one you could buy casually at a school gate.
Opening the first page of the diary.
"Some year, month, day in 2030! Weather: Dry! Very hot!"
"I don't know what month or day it is today, nor do I know what day of the week it is, so, I can't write a date in this diary, I only remember we escaped from the city."
"If I hadn't been so outrageously arrogant back then, I wouldn't have ended up in prison!"
"If not for the apocalypse, I probably would have been out of prison long ago, enjoying life right now."
"This world has no 'ifs'!"
"When those shadows hiding in the darkness dragged people into the darkness, I knew this world had changed!"
"I thought I could still be like before, relying on my own skills to get by better in this new world!"
"Until I saw Superhumans!"
"I want to become a Superhuman."
This was written on the first page of the diary.
Chen Ye didn't know which day Boss Gao wrote this.
No date was specified.
Clearly, after the apocalypse, many people didn't remember the exact date, many just lived day by day. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
The original seasonal patterns of snow in winter, blazing sun in summer, flowers in spring, and falling leaves in autumn.
Had also been broken after the apocalypse.
So, many people's judgment of dates became even more blurred.
Since he was bored anyway, Chen Ye treated it as killing time.
He continued reading this time-killing diary.
"Some month, day in 2030, the weather is still very hot."
"We are in the desert now, scorching hot during the day, freezing enough to kill at night."
"This morning, I saw Old Bao bury two people who had frozen solid!"
"One of them came asking me for a cigarette just last night."
"Some month, day in 2030"
"I still don't know what month or day it is today!"
"Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother... they're all dead..."
"I didn't have much feeling for them anyway, dead is dead."
"If not for the apocalypse, the chance of these guys wanting to be my brothers was almost zero."
"I originally thought of uniting a few people, slowly scheming to seize control of the convoy, even to the point of eventually establishing a kingdom of my own."
"But when I saw the true power of Superhumans, I realized how laughable my previous plans were!"
"Ordinary people, in front of those Anomalies and Superhumans, are no different from ants."
"I saw with my own eyes that car swallow a living person whole."
"That's right, a living, breathing person."
"As if that person had never come to this world at all!"
"That man... was too terrifying!"
Is this talking about me?
Chen Ye stroked his chin.
From these diary entries, one could very clearly sense the change in Boss Gao's emotions.
After the apocalypse, this man actually hadn't completely resigned himself to fate.
He had even wanted to seize leadership of the convoy at one point.
However, after witnessing the abilities of Superhumans, Boss Gao's mindset underwent a change.
This diary entry didn't write a date at all.
It was just a few short sentences.
It looked like a casual mood note jotted down by Boss Gao.
"We arrived at Rong City, I've been to this place before!"
"But I've never seen such heavy snow!"
"The snow is heavy, I'm so hungry!"
"Everyone is hungry!"
"The Death God Church gave us food, though still not enough, it was much better than what the convoy provided!"
"Many people want to stay here, everyone is already sick of this life of migrating through the apocalypse!"
"I sometimes dream of the old life too."
"I dream of my lover, I dream of my big house, in that big house, there's endless braised pork and roast duck!"
"Don't laugh at me, I've eaten countless delicacies in my life, but now..."
"I just want a bite of braised pork and roast duck!"
Chen Ye flipped the page of the notebook in his hand.
He figured Boss Gao must have written this part when he was in Rong City.
A big shot who had been so prominent in life, back then all he wanted was a bite of braised pork and roast duck.
If you told people, they probably wouldn't believe it.
From this, one could also see that Boss Gao's inner pride was slowly crumbling too.
From initially wanting to seize control of the convoy.
To now just wanting a bite of meat.
What this notebook recorded was the struggle of an ordinary person in the apocalypse.
