stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually reached Yanzhou already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without realizing it, he had traveled so far—from Jiangcheng to Yanzhou?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered learning in school that Yanzhou's topography was quite distinctive, featuring mountains, river valleys, plateaus, gobi deserts, and sandy deserts among various landforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Chen Ye had no mind to appreciate the desert scenery before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was already brightening with dawn's first light, the clouds tinged golden and incredibly brilliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Chen Ye was in no state to admire it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hours of intense combat in Longevity Village, plus last

throughout the entire night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye now felt dizzy and faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a premonition that he was about to fall seriously ill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy rain had finally stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye was completely drenched from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair clung to his scalp, dripping water, while his face, eyebrows, and even eyelids were covered in rainwater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shoes felt heavy, clearly filled with water—with every slight movement, he could feel the sloshing inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye's body trembled slightly as he stubbornly remained mounted on his motor tricycle, refusing to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the stunningly beautiful rainbow appearing as the sun rose failed to capture his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rainbows typically appeared frequently only in summer or autumn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here one was in late November.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The campsite finally came into view not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye forced himself to drive the motor tricycle to the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camp already had tents set up here and there, with numerous campfires burning in various spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aroma of food wafted into Chen Ye's nostrils, and he greedily inhaled a couple of breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of dry heat swept over him, dispelling the chill from his body and providing some slight relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye had reached the absolute limits of exhaustion—he couldn't bother questioning whether this sudden heat was reasonable or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Ye's motor tricycle arrived, several survivors glanced over before returning to their own affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes were filled with confusion and despair!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing about others mattered to anyone anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parking his motor tricycle, Chen Ye plopped down directly onto the scorching sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dry heat continued to drive the chill from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff... huff... huff...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasping slightly, Chen Ye pulled a pack of cigarettes from his chest pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as he retrieved it, he noticed water droplets seeping from the cigarette pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye set the soaked cigarette pack aside to dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even completely drenched, he couldn't bear to discard the cigarettes—they could still be smoked once dried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling out another pack, he tore off the plastic wrap and extracted one to light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the plastic wrap had done its job, protecting this pack of Huazi from the rainwater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inhale~~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep drag, consuming nearly a third of the cigarette in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the nicotine circulating through his body provided some relief from the fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After smoking about a third of the cigarette, Chen Ye finally began to recover slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that Chen Ye sensed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was it so hot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was late November—winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd never heard that Yanzhou's winters were this hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't the south!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye finally began to examine his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were alongside the Yanzhou national highway, with vast desert stretching as far as the eye could see—his vision filled entirely with sand dunes and yellow sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glaringly bright sun hung in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Chen Ye's first time seeing a desert in his life, and he was momentarily awestruck by the breathtaking scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Ye quickly lost his appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely hot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His previously rain-soaked body was already beginning to dry out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair was already more than half dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye noticed that the survivors nearby were all dressed in shorts and short-sleeves, typical summer attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye also removed his jacket and jeans, hanging them on the handlebars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took off his shoes too, and when he turned them upside down, water poured out onto the sand and quickly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even stripped off his sweatshirt and long johns!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This weather was just too hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye suspected this extreme weather shift was likely related to the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing another cigarette, Chen Ye wished he could just wear his boxers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, sweat was already seeping from Chen Ye's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After quickly eating two pieces of bread to replenish his energy, Chen Ye eagerly began checking his gains from Longevity Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the Slaughter Points value, Chen Ye was slightly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually had over seven thousand Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>",1210,"2026-05-30T15:16:54.972Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","a1f53746d4f290eda826930dacc94c909921d421e58f29faca06e5616a595540","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-39","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-37",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
