Every so often, this man would use a sharpened small knife to shave his head, scraping off any newly grown hair completely clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, he always ended up with a bloody, mangled scalp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also added a ferocious edge to the man, resulting in no one in the convoy daring to provoke him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was none other than the former leader of the four brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three were either killed by Chen Ye, devoured by the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck, or never made it out of Rong City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this one remained, the once locally infamous Boss Gao from before the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said, Boss Gao managing to survive until now was something of a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Gao raised his eyes, an unnatural flash of viciousness in his gaze, causing the surrounding survivors to edge away from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was also because of this deliberately maintained ferocity that Boss Gao lived relatively comfortably within the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were a few who didn't take Boss Gao seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Xu Lina...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemingly simple small group of survivors actually had waters far more complex and murky than those among the few superhumans like Chen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Lina, let's keep to our own territories and not interfere with each other. I don't want trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Gao's tone carried a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also wary of Xu Lina's ambiguous relationship with Chen Ye, the balance between Boss Gao and Xu Lina had always been delicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Lina gave a charming smile, using a sickly-sweet voice to say, \"Mr. Chen wants a few people to drag that fat guy out. Boss Gao, you figure it out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Xu Lina paid him no further mind, simply found a spot to sit down, pulled out a small mirror from her belongings, and began penciling her eyebrows and applying powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Boss Gao caught the person, she would have to make another appearance in front of Chen Ye. This time, she absolutely had to leave a good impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Gao shot a suspicious glance at Xu Lina, his eyes darting around, clearly indicating his inner turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Xu Lina was using Chen Ye's name to pressure him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was nothing he could do about this kind of thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to stay as far away from Chen Ye as possible, but now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth, Boss Gao randomly pointed at a few people. \"You... and you, come with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the changes in their expressions, Boss Gao stood up and headed towards the crowd of newly joined survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chu Che got closer and closer to Sequence 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current Concealment Barrier was much larger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, it was only three hundred meters in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Chu Che's Concealment Barrier could reach nearly nine hundred meters in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was estimated that when it reached a thousand-meter diameter range, that would be when Chu Che officially became Sequence 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These newly joined survivors had also been forcibly herded into the Concealment Barrier by Xue Nan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even with the addition of a group of about one hundred and fifty people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squad Leader Chu's Concealment Barrier range was still sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These newcomers were still somewhat wary and uneasy about the arrival of Boss Gao and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Xue Nan had been keeping things under control, so no chaos erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Boss Gao explained Chen Ye's request, Xue Nan looked towards Chen Ye's direction, then also started helping search within the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, they spotted a pale, chubby fat guy, squatting in an inconspicuous part of the crowd, looking very shifty.\u003C\u002Fp>",1524,"2026-05-30T15:16:55.251Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","2896a35f76505d4df52adc6d86dfcb38417f1d206b713e55843afe677f8315e6","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-287","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-285",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
