An accident must have happened before the roll-up door could be fully closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On some exterior walls, one could vaguely see some black handprints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these black handprints weren't some prankster smearing black ink on their hands and stamping them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were bloody handprints that had turned somewhat black over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the superhumans' astonishing eyesight, they probably wouldn't have noticed these black, bloody handprints at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The open shops by the street were pitch-black inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaguely, one could see what seemed like pale faces flashing past within that darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when looking carefully, nothing could be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was apparent this small town had once been very lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was still lively now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that the way it was lively seemed a bit different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the division of labor was very clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye and Iron Lion were responsible for gathering supplies, while Ding Dong and the Pink-haired Girl were responsible for keeping watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye had the ability to simulate smoke breath, making him perfectly suited for looting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Lion had excellent physical fitness and great strength. Places vehicles couldn't enter were where Iron Lion was needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were responsible for loading and unloading work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The task of gathering supplies didn't fall to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the superhumans' sequence levels increased, the gap between ordinary people and superhumans grew larger and larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even so, Xue Nan still assigned tasks to every survivor participating in this supply-gathering mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mission wasn't simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just an ordinary supply-gathering task, but the difficulty of this one was greater than any previous one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, according to Squad Leader Chu Che's plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mission's time had to be controlled within half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what happened, they had to leave this place within half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was just enough time for one game before the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they had to gather enough supplies for dozens of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mission's difficulty was considerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if that was all, it might still be manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was more troublesome was that among the convoy's twenty-plus people, not a single one had been to this Xining Town before the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those who had heard of it were few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, no one knew where the town's supermarkets were, or where the grain and oil shops were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had to spend half an hour just looking for these places, it really wouldn't be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Chu Che was completely in the dark about Xining Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have to understand, during previous supply-gathering missions, Captain Chu could always say something, sometimes even producing some simple maps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like with the previous Fog City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The omnipotent Captain Chu was also stumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, no one would blame Captain Chu, because everyone knew that if Captain Chu had a choice, he definitely wouldn't do something so uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour—they'd probably just find a suitable supply-gathering spot when the time would be almost up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me three minutes, no, one minute! Wait for my signal before you come over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could say anything, they saw the long sword at Sun Xixi's waist let out a sword hum as it flew out of its scabbard, hovering steadily in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xixi lightly leaped and stepped onto the flying sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire person vanished before their eyes like a bolt of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If looking down from high above, one could see an extremely fast figure streaking through the streets of Xining Town like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, while crossing one street, Sun Xixi seemed to pause for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of electric light, and her figure turned back again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An expression of wild joy appeared on Sun Xixi's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of her was a grain and oil shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In big cities, this kind of grain and oil shop wasn't easy to find. People who wanted to buy things would mostly go to the supermarket downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some who didn't want to move could just operate on their phones and have things delivered to their door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest difference between a grain and oil shop and a supermarket was that supermarkets sold everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grain and oil shops sold more rice and flour, mainly supplying large unit cafeterias or hotels and restaurants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xixi had only ever gone to supermarkets before;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this was the first time she had seen something like a grain and oil shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her figure flashed as she rushed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than half a minute, Sun Xixi emerged from the grain and oil shop, her face full of disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anxiety on Sun Xixi's face increased. More than half of the minute had already passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xixi's speed became even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she found the town's large supermarket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result greatly surprised Sun Xixi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supplies in these supermarkets had actually all been cleared out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation had never occurred before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have to understand, Captain Chu could use the Eavesdropping Radio to gather information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Sun Xixi didn't know why the Eavesdropping Radio had this ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never asked, and the captain never said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during their previous supply-gathering processes, they had never been completely cleaned out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell was going on!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glistening bead of sweat appeared on Sun Xixi's forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling uneasy, Sun Xixi made the flying sword under her feet fast as lightning...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sun Xixi reappeared before everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a bit more panic on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they really couldn't gather supplies, relying only on the little seed stock the convoy had planted to grow food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people in the convoy would likely starve to death in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the superhumans who could survive, everyone else would probably die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She relayed the information she had just scouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expression on Chu Che's face was very unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he hadn't anticipated this problem either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at Chu Che.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the superhumans, the other survivors were also starting to panic a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they really had no gains, were they supposed to starve to death in the coming days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, this time I didn't do my job well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Che's face also turned green and then red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk~~~ What's the use of you!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice that was neither yin nor yang sounded by his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this familiar voice, Chu Che's anger surged instantly, his eyes blazing as he looked at Chen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous awkwardness and guilt were all transformed into rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye paid him no mind at all, directly turning to look at the Pink-haired Girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does Xining Town have any large hotels or restaurants?

Its warehouse is also empty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And other restaurants, small supermarkets—all have no supplies!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also empty!???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye hadn't expected this outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed this Xining Town had been visited before, and not just once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems like scolding Chu Che just now wasn't wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can't even handle such a small matter properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's the use of a captain like this.\u003C\u002Fp>",1380,"2026-05-30T15:16:55.251Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","ea841820d493d090f6e8fa35e866521385052aff4a67ca897407888d249617dd","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-260","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-258",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
