the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Squad Leader Chu Che's estimation, they should have met this unknown large convoy very quickly, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day had already passed, and they still hadn't caught a glimpse of that convoy's shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the midday break, Chu Che, based on his understanding of the nearby terrain—after all, they had been circling the area all morning—hand-drew a simple map, his brows tightly furrowed into a deep crease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Dong's brows were also tightly furrowed into a deep crease at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the potatoes she had planted in the vehicle had all died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to her experience, potatoes should be quite easy to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had once seen a video online where someone managed to grow quite a few potatoes using just a regular household trash can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even special flower pots for potato cultivation sold specifically online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after she planted those collected potatoes, there had been no reaction whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they had this panel van, Ding Dong had even lived with Iron Lion inside the school bus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Ding Dong had also had someone set up a small planting spot at the rear of the school bus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, when Ding Dong acquired a panel van, she moved all these potatoes into the panel van, and naturally brought them along when they left the Second Elementary School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost every day, Ding Dong would check on them, watering when it was time to water, loosening the soil when it was time to loosen the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She treated these potatoes with even more care than she would her own child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, up to now, there hadn't been the slightest sign of growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have to understand, in order to get a bite of fresh potatoes, Ding Dong had put in no small amount of effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until just now, when she dug up the potatoes she had planted, that she discovered they had long since rotted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Dong let out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had these potatoes also mutated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was it because of the constant displacement and hardship along the journey, making cultivation simply impossible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, everyone was living a migratory lifestyle, completely unable to settle and engage in long-term living and production in any one area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that being constantly on the vehicle, causing soil vibration, was the reason they wouldn't grow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Dong thought for a long time, feeling there were many problems and numerous difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the group's food still relied primarily on scavenging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the dried noodles they ate this morning, which had been expired for several months, and that bottle of Lao Gan Ma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as it was opened, it was discovered to have already grown mold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she threw it away, a survivor picked it back up, even saying it was good stuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her previous life, although her living conditions weren't great, she would never eat expired or spoiled food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was distributed to the other survivors were mostly expired bread, or even expired crackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, some people in the convoy had already started experiencing physical discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they caught quite a few fish yesterday, which somewhat improved the meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But continuing like this was ultimately not a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supplies would eventually be scavenged to completion one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, constantly scavenging in cities was also a very dangerous activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn't find a way to produce their own, there would inevitably come a day when they reached a dead end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Ding Dong thought about trying to see if she could grow some vegetables or other food by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet reality always made this one-armed, resilient woman feel waves of despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding Dong sister, we're about to encounter the large convoy Squad Leader Chu mentioned. Maybe they have a solution, after all, there are so many of them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pink-haired Girl was also paying attention to Ding Dong's potato planting project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the potatoes already rotten in the soil, the Pink-haired Girl kindly comforted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Dong shook her head: \"It's very difficult. Unless we find a fixed settlement, otherwise, continuing like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't finish the latter half of the sentence, but the Pink-haired Girl naturally knew what the outcome would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today's lunch was still mainly fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating fish for several days in a row, people were already starting to get a bit tired of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding Dong sister, time to eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiaoxiao came to Ding Dong's side carrying a bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several pieces of fish in the bowl had already covered up the original rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Dong's small group had gained one more person: Zhou Xiaoxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Che's convoy had people specifically assigned to help drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Lion's vehicle also had a driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pink-haired Girl's vehicle had a driver too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the entire convoy's five vehicles, only she and Chen Ye drove themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye goes without saying;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>many people had previously wanted to volunteer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Xu Lina, who dreamed of sitting in Chen Ye's passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was still bluntly and unceremoniously rejected by Chen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, when Zhou Xiaoxiao wanted to become Ding Dong's assistant, Ding Dong was still a bit puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after only a moment's hesitation, she agreed to Zhou Xiaoxiao's request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason she agreed was because of that night by Fairy Lake;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there were quite a few butterflies around Zhou Xiaoxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Squad Leader Chu Che's explanation, people with kind and simple hearts were more likely to attract those butterfly fairies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the number of butterflies around Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't compare to Iron Lion or Sun Xixi and the like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still considerably better than Chen Ye's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former Zhou Xiaoxiao was like a white swan flying in the sky, while the current Zhou Xiaoxiao was like humble mud trampled into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a driver's job, who knows how much psychological preparation Zhou Xiaoxiao had to do in her heart when she went to beg Ding Dong yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Ding Dong didn't agree immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiaoxiao felt her legs go weak, almost on the verge of tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Ding Dong agreed, Zhou Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sister was lost in the sandstorm, and her car was gone too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two consecutive blows completely changed Zhou Xiaoxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were still before the apocalypse, most people in this convoy would have had no intersection with Zhou Xiaoxiao's life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, they would see her glamorous side in TV dramas or movies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiaoxiao's life existed in a completely different dimension compared to theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiaoxiao dressed in drab, gray clothes every day, indistinguishable from the other survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When walking, she often kept her head down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone spoke to her, she acted very socially anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She minimized contact as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She avoided speaking as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She absolutely would not do anything that attracted attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going to Ding Dong to get a job was something she had mentally prepared for over several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The her now and that confident young girl about to shine brightly back then were completely two different people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were a scale to weigh her...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Zhou Xiaoxiao, about 1.7 meters tall, definitely weighed less than 80 pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole person also lacked the spirit she once had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If before, Zhou Xiaoxiao could be the female lead in an idol drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then now, even if she played an extra, no film crew would want her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, Zhou Xiaoxiao wouldn't speak a single word for days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If no one pointed it out, no one would believe she was the younger sister of the big celebrity Zhou Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't even care about her own tattered and torn clothes, let alone deliberately dress up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the time, everyone overlooked the existence of such a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Chen Ye, most of the time, didn't think about the existence of such a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiaoxiao originally had excellent personal conditions. Without the car as her final shelter, Zhou Xiaoxiao now lived on Iron Lion's school bus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The school bus had a complex mix of people, all sorts of characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the beginning, some people had improper thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the convoy still having rules, Zhou Xiaoxiao's days might have been indescribably miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Ding Dong took her in, and she got a job as a driver and assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed everything was developing in a good direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squad Leader, Squad Leader, look... what is that over there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ding Dong was holding her rice bowl and eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An utterly shocked voice suddenly rang out in the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the person who made this sound had seen something extremely shocking, something very hard to comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was filled with fear, panic, and disbelief!\u003C\u002Fp>",1491,"2026-05-30T15:16:55.252Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","a1ddd7cfd3893c46baf05485ff6d3023e95e06e1b95e50c53f4627e8bf161164","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-202","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-300",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
