Her hair was so long you couldn't even see what she looked like!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Zhou Xiaoxiao's own voice gradually softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye sneered coldly, gazing at the spot where the girl had disappeared and slowly saying, \"This is Longevity Village! For an unfamiliar girl to appear in a place like this, and then follow us...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiaoxiao wanted to argue further, but Zhou Lan grabbed her arm firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxiao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye cast a casual glance at this little boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, this little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly female, yet she had been disguising herself as a boy while traveling with the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye understood perfectly well why she was doing this, but he had never exposed her secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that Chen Ye had particularly good tolerance for the girl's provocations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there weren't many people left in this world anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they encountered danger, having this girl as a sacrificial pawn wouldn't be such a bad idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should hurry up and take action, try to gather enough supplies and leave Longevity Village before 4 PM!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Fairy Maiden said warily while scanning their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group suppressed their unease and continued walking toward the big willow tree in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they had viewed this big willow tree from outside the village, they only thought it was quite large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as they approached, they realized the big willow tree was truly enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would take three people joining hands to encircle its trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A willow tree this massive would have been rare even before the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this willow tree about to become a spirit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a huge willow tree, I've never seen one this big before, oh my god!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we could sell this willow tree, it would probably be worth a fortune!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who would want this big willow tree now that it's the apocalypse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The survivors following the group discussed animatedly among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just around the next corner, they would see the true appearance of the big willow tree, and also spot the Big Willow Tree Small Supermarket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Iron Lion, Nana, and Chen Ye quickened their pace slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the other survivors didn't understand why these superhumans were coming here, they knew that following them would greatly improve their safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, when Iron Lion was the first to round the corner ahead, he froze in place, motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nana's eyes narrowed sharply: \"Iron Lion, what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big man swallowed hard, his voice somewhat hoarse as he said: \"Nana... you... come here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young girl hurried forward a couple steps, following Iron Lion's path around the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Chen Ye's perspective, the moment the young girl saw the full appearance of the big willow tree, her entire body stiffened and she began trembling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if she had witnessed something extremely terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bad premonition arose in Chen Ye's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Fairy Maiden was the strongest combatant in the convoy, far surpassing even Iron Lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What... what exactly had happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye raised his hand crossbow and slowed his steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The survivors behind them all looked frightened, their footsteps slowing considerably as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iron Lion, Nana, what did you see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nana heard Chen Ye's voice and turned to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye could clearly see the young girl's pupils dilating, her face filled with immense terror, as if she had witnessed some unforgettable scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Ye... you... come here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye's brow furrowed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was wrong with these two?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't seem like they were under attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Chen Ye still slowly moved forward to approach them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They absolutely had to reach the small supermarket under the big willow tree—without supplies, they would surely die in this apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His view gradually cleared as he rounded the corner, his field of vision becoming increasingly expansive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gloomy sky, the sun outside Longevity Village appeared particularly distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village center featured a large square, with an enormous big willow tree in the middle that almost completely filled one's entire field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless drooping green willow strands hung down from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this big willow tree had appeared on some sunny afternoon, or in a famous scenic area, it would undoubtedly have been a beautiful sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that would be without the corpses hanging from those green branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corpses—one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of every single drooping green willow strand hung a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These corpses included men and women, old and young, like fruits borne by this big willow tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hung densely beneath the big willow tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a rough glance, there were at least over a hundred, maybe even two hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each corpse hung suspended by willow branches, with no wind and no signs of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye now understood why Iron Lion and Nana had worn those stunned expressions earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he now wore the exact same expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye swallowed hard, feeling his entire body tremble, his throat dry, yet unable to utter a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyeballs kept trembling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before him was more terrifying than the most horrifying horror movie, making one shiver with dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly had happened here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this big willow tree?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were those people hanging from the willow tree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless fears and mysteries surged through Chen Ye's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low whimpering sound came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye jolted, stiffly turning his head to see Zhou Lan and Zhou Xiaoxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sisters were tightly covering their mouths, preventing themselves from making sounds that might attract unknown terrors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of survivors behind them wore similar expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone's eyes were wide open, filled with sheer terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye took a deep drag from the cigarette at his lips, biting the filter so hard it creaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cigarette's glow illuminated a small patch of the surrounding gloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, stop looking—gathering supplies is what matters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye reminded them in a hoarse, quiet voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right under the big willow tree stood a small single-story building, with a wooden sign beside it that read: \"Big Willow Tree Small Supermarket.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to the wooden sign was a small door, left wide open, through which they could even see the glass counter inside the supermarket under the faint light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone be careful, don't disturb these things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye warned in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Lion's massive frame cautiously inched toward the small supermarket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Fairy Maiden gripped her long sword, moving like an agile cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye held his hand crossbow, the cigarette at his lips smoked down to the filter, forgotten to discard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The survivors behind them still looked utterly terrified, but they gritted their teeth and followed behind the several Sequence Superpowers users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They finally reached the entrance of the small supermarket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group slipped inside the small supermarket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Lion and Nana each turned on their flashlights, quickly revealing the supermarket's interior to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a very ordinary rural supermarket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at the entrance stood a row of glass counters, behind which was a large set of shelves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shelves contained everything, with cigarettes and liquor occupying more than half the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the right stood row after row of additional shelves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a rural supermarket, this one was quite spacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing all these supplies, everyone's eyes lit up with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One old woman, hiding behind everyone else, saw the abundant supplies and suddenly her legs didn't hurt anymore, her vision wasn't blurry anymore—her face filled entirely with greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This old woman was the same grandmother from the grandmother-grandson pair who had previously clashed with Chen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps knowing she would benefit by following the superhumans, this old woman had been quietly trailing them the whole way, not saying a single word, trying to minimize her presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now seeing the supplies in the small supermarket, the old woman felt her decision had been absolutely correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the supermarket, a breeze arose from somewhere, causing the corpses beneath the willow branches to sway slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1428,"2026-05-30T15:16:54.972Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","3950029339617b42a8304edb0a74526de21593f82d7c33b82f7c5bc4fed82b4d","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-25","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-23",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
