We finally found so many supplies—it would be a shame not to take more this time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman's voice echoed from the cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bespectacled young man holding the steel pipe appeared to be around twenty years old, looking like he hadn't yet graduated from university, with that uniquely clear-eyed innocence often seen in college students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this university student surnamed Fu who had originally discovered this cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandmother-grandson pair had become universally disliked within the convoy, with only this university student still paying them any attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other survivors had already climbed out of the cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they had left the small supermarket earlier, many people's backpacks were only half full, but now every backpack was bulging, with satisfied smiles on everyone's faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make room for these supplies, many people simply dumped out the snacks they had found in the small supermarket, filling their packs entirely with potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, and flour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, compared to potato chips and spicy strips, the supplies from the village chief's house provided more satiety and were better suited for survival in the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even took off their shirts to wrap up supplies, carrying bundles in their arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exaggeratedly large backpack on Iron Lion's back was now packed completely full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that massive backpack on his back, Iron Lion looked like he was carrying a small mountain, a sight that made people click their tongues in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of backpack probably only someone like Iron Lion, a big fool, could carry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was this guy carrying a mountain-like backpack on his back, but he also held several large bundles in his arms, apparently containing plenty of supplies as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Zhou sisters, Zhou Lan and Zhou Xiaoxiao, were loaded down with supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lan had one pack on her chest, another on her back, and carried yet another in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiaoxiao carried no less supplies than her older sister Zhou Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiles beamed from every face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Nana and Chen Ye carried relatively little supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's getting late, we need to leave here quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nana glanced at the watch on her wrist, her expression turning tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forty minutes until four o'clock—we must leave the village within forty minutes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone quickened their pace to leave the village chief's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Chen Ye watched their surroundings with vigilant eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trip had been far too smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such smoothness left Chen Ye with a persistent feeling of unease, as if some great horror awaited them ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you all wait for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman in the cellar seemed to have heard that everyone planned to leave, her anxious voice rising from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the university student called Xiao Fu, no one paid any attention to the old woman, and many faces even showed a hint of schadenfreude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps disasters linger for a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of the kind-hearted university student, the old woman eventually managed to climb out of the cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Ye saw the supplies the old woman carried, he froze momentarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman was completely covered in supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did she have a very large backpack on her back, but she also carried a large bundle in each hand, with another bundle hanging around her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the other survivors, this old woman had actually gathered the most supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how others looked at her, the old woman even seemed somewhat proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't assume that elderly people lack physical stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to young workhorses blessed with the 996 work schedule, these elderly people seem to have inexhaustible energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don't believe it, go see the egg-grabbing scenes at supermarkets or certain tourist attractions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in such an environment, carrying this many supplies was practically no different from seeking death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye ignored the old woman, his eyes vigilantly scanning their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunchbacked old puppet from earlier had now completely vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Fairy Maiden Nana walked at the front, her long sword in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close behind her was the hulking Iron Lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Iron Lion's backpack was simply too large, causing some trouble when exiting through the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They finally had to violently dismantle the village chief's door to successfully get the backpack out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courtyard appeared unchanged from when they had entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black luxury car sat quietly in the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye would have liked to take the car with them—if they could have managed it, it would have been greatly useful for modifying his motor tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his abilities were limited, so he could only look for opportunities another time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone began retracing their route back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky remained gloomy and gray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dim, gray sun hung high outside the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke, but the atmosphere was clearly much better than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Nana kept checking the watch on her wrist as she walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Sword Fairy Maiden's heart, her premonition matched Chen Ye's—she also felt a persistent sense of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every supply run usually meant narrowly escaping death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this one had been exceptionally smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something's wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, those long legs stopped in their tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Lion also came to an abrupt halt, his massive backpack lurching behind him, but the big fool's astonishing strength stabilized him before he could fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye instantly raised his hand crossbow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This road—we've walked it before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young woman pointed to a civilian house with its door open by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This house looked familiar—someone had previously entered this building and never come out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at each other, momentarily at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye lit a cigarette, the small flame briefly illuminating his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned as he surveyed their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chen Ye had some sense of directional impairment, the environment before him looked all too familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahead is... the Big Willow Tree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trembling voice suddenly spoke up, filled with boundless fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone startled and quickly looked ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw an enormous big willow tree standing not far away—just around a corner they could see the Big Willow Tree Small Supermarket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By all reasoning, the big willow tree should have been behind them, so how had it suddenly appeared in front of them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The color began draining from everyone's faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excitement from gathering supplies was rapidly fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We went the wrong direction!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nana glanced at her wristwatch, her young face showing an extremely serious expression: \"Thirty minutes left—if we turn back now and hurry, we can still make it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1256,"2026-05-30T15:16:54.972Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","ffeb3ccbc50ebfe81206e3e95595f9e32ffdf0a4d46bd7f795ec7537ece856b5","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-29","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-27",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
