the others' eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The danger level of Longevity Village this time was several degrees higher than that of Xinghua Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was just a village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go in, we're running out of time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye flicked his cigarette ash, speaking in a somewhat low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Lion, carrying a huge backpack, strode into the courtyard without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nana followed closely behind, her long legs striding and ponytail swaying behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye took a deep drag of his cigarette, raised his hand crossbow, and followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhou Lan was about to enter, she saw a slightly stooped figure moving even faster than her and her sister, closely following Chen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiaoxiao looked and saw it was the old woman who had previously clashed with Chen Ye, instantly getting so angry she wanted to curse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lan reached out and pulled her sister who was about to argue with the old woman, indicating now wasn't the time for quarrels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Zhou Xiaoxiao suppress her anger with a pout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you only looked at the exterior, the village chief's large house was much more impressive than the other villagers' houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior decoration was also considerably more luxurious than other villagers'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, there was a huge European-style leather sofa that looked very imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of the sofa was a marble coffee table, the stone's texture appearing natural and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were before the apocalypse, this sofa and coffee table set would have been quite valuable regardless of authenticity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flashlights swept around the interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The indoor environment was visible to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone search around, speak up if you find supplies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time is running out, move quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nana's flashlight continuously scanned the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first place everyone searched was naturally the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief's kitchen was very large, nearly twenty square meters—bigger than many rental apartments that city workers rented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon everyone found flour, rice, two large packs of dried noodles, and some other ingredients in the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had some gains, these findings weren't enough to satisfy everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eavesdropping Radio had mentioned that the Big Willow Tree Small Supermarket and the village chief's house had sufficient supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this was all there was, it probably wouldn't be nearly enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone continued searching persistently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon someone went up to the second and third floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the second and third floors yielded little results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second floor had a large living room with a billiards table in the middle, sofas on both sides of the table, plus two bedrooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third floor had a tea room and a bedroom, and nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't find even a trace of supplies on these two floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did find plenty of clothes and bags though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were many luxury items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed this village chief had made quite a fortune in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the apocalypse, these things would have been very valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now nobody was interested in these items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the survivors' eyes, these luxury goods probably couldn't even compare to a piece of bread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye did find a smartwatch in the third-floor wardrobe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the apocalypse, these smartwatches were very popular, many young people liked to wear one on their wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to traditional mechanical watches, smartwatches had powerful functions, many interesting features, and could sync with phones, making them very popular among young people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the apocalypse, this smartwatch would have cost at least seven or eight thousand, something Chen Ye definitely wouldn't have splurged on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected to find one here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used to have one of these watches too, but now it's the apocalypse, without charging it's just trash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nana said somewhat regretfully while looking at the smartwatch in Chen Ye's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn't matter, I'll treat it as a souvenir of human civilization!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye shrugged and directly stuffed the smartwatch into his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he eventually gets the solar charging panel from Chu Che, this smartwatch might become usable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the apocalypse, every resource has its purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially a timekeeping smartwatch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding nothing on the second and third floors, everyone went back downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already 2:30 now, only an hour and a half left before they had to leave the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back on the first floor, everyone searched again unwillingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surprised exclamation attracted everyone's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw a bespectacled youth holding a steel pipe excitedly pointing at a cellar door next to a staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cellar door was already open, a pitch-black opening visible where the youth was pointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a basement here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nana flashed over to the youth's position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others also gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several flashlight beams shone into the basement, but they could only see darkness, nothing visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would the village chief's house have a basement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's so strange about that? Most villas have basements!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could the village chief have hidden supplies in the basement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Possibly, should we go down and check?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you go down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment everyone discussed excitedly, but nobody dared to enter the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basements generally represented confined spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many horror movie scenes took place in basements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everyone had suspicions, when it came to actually going down, nobody was brave enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye also frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly the basement definitely contained something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go down first to check!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, Nana jumped down first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could see flashlight beams moving around in the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon surprised exclamations came from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Ye, Iron Lion, there are lots of potatoes down here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, expressions of delight appeared on everyone's faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go down to check!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth who discovered the cellar door quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could react, the youth was the first to jump down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis, you watch from above, I'm going down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiaoxiao followed closely behind the youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, survivor after survivor jumped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the old woman jumped down without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her nimble movements were no less agile than a young person's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this apocalypse, supplies were everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Ye, Iron Lion, you two stay up there guarding, I'll pack potatoes and you receive them from above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon a backpack filled with potatoes was handed up to the cellar opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Lion single-handedly crouched at the opening and easily caught it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Ye had to catch this backpack, it wouldn't have been so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon another large bag filled with potatoes was caught single-handedly by Iron Lion and brought up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lan was also helping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Brother Iron Lion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Zhou Xiaoxiao's sweet voice of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye stood guard beside Iron Lion, holding his crossbow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A drop of cold sweat trickled from Chen Ye's temple to his chin, finally dripping onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Chen Ye's pupils, a stooped figure stood at the first floor's main entrance, just smiling eerily while watching this group of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crossbow bolt in his hand fired!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Chen Ye's firing sound, Iron Lion tensed up and turned around, vigilantly scanning the surroundings, but found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yezi, what did you see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lan beside him also looked around with a frightened expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing, Iron Lion, hurry up, I have a bad feeling! We need to leave here quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Lion looked around but didn't notice anything unusual, muttering: \"Yezi, you'll scare someone to death like that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, the big fool continued taking potatoes out from the cellar opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only his movements became much faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the tension on Chen Ye's face didn't ease in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the crossbow bolt was fired just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye's system received a notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You dealt damage to the Hunchbacked Old Puppet, you gained Slaughter Points +100.]\u003C\u002Fp>",1301,"2026-05-30T15:16:54.972Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","b4848ee4856d3c4a7015c39b145cb00754871ce4883e2bebe9d8c1875f599910","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-28","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-26",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
