in his convoy can't fix it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iron Lion approached Chen Ye, hoping Chen Ye would help repair his vehicle, but unfortunately Chen Ye refused.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He wants to prioritize modifying his own tricycle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a selfish young man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the tent, the Eavesdropping Radio offered its opinion on Chen Ye's earlier refusal of Iron Lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire convoy was under the surveillance of the Eavesdropping Radio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes it would even share its views on certain matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And often during these times, its opinions tended to be quite cutting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I don't see it that way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Ye prioritizing himself—in my view, he's being perfectly fair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Chu picked up a cup of tea, took a small sip, then revealed an intoxicated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now when Captain Chu wanted to drink tea, he would no longer do it openly in front of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he would secretly savor it alone in his vehicle, or during rest times inside his tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Captain Chu's opinion, giving his good tea to those few people was like a cow chewing peonies—a complete waste of something precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Based on the system's comprehensive assessment, the host's current available Slaughter Points credit limit is 10,000 points.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten thousand Slaughter Points?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving this answer, Chen Ye's face showed an expression of pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was ten thousand Slaughter Points—enough to accomplish many significant things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding to the four thousand Slaughter Points remaining from before, he now possessed a total of fourteen thousand Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it wasn't enough to transform the tricycle into an apocalyptic pickup truck, it could still accomplish many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Wonder he had been longing for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he reserved five thousand Slaughter Points, he would still have nine thousand remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was mainly thanks to his previous frugality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever human effort could accomplish something, he absolutely wouldn't let the system waste a single Slaughter Point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye once again optimized the system's upgrade plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, he was squeezing Slaughter Points out of the system's design scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, nine thousand Slaughter Points would be completely insufficient for upgrading to an apocalyptic pickup truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing Chen Ye eliminated was the apocalyptic pickup truck's eight-wheel design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This design looked cool and even had decent practicality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it consumed far too many Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And fuel consumption would also increase significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in electric drive mode, it probably couldn't handle eight wheels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye optimized the eight-wheel design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight wheels became four wheels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept the four all-terrain tires salvaged from the Wrangler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These tires were absolutely necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew when they might leave the road route—then these tires would prove their worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous twenty-thousand-plus Slaughter Points requirement suddenly dropped from starting with \"2\" to starting with \"1.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This saved a considerable number of Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye checked the design blueprint again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw there was still suspension modification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the system's design, this suspension system could ensure the driver had a good experience inside the vehicle, which would be quite necessary on rough terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye hesitated for a moment, but didn't delete the suspension modification—he just replaced it with a cheaper alternative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came the frame and chassis issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the system's modification quotes for these two items, Chen Ye felt physical pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at that large car crash site, Chen Ye had wanted to salvage a frame and chassis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Captain Chu Che's sudden departure had disrupted that plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking the system's upgrade plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two items cost several thousand Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much it pained Chen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Modifications to these two components were unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, it was just a tricycle that could manage with simplicity, but now it was an apocalyptic pickup truck—without these things, it just wouldn't make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were still ways to save some Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the system's prompts, Chen Ye streamlined the design as much as possible without affecting normal operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came the cargo bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous cargo bed had already been upgraded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This upgrade would make it more complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire cargo bed was modified with sheet metal, and even the vehicle canopy was changed to sheet metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was this much sturdier than the previous spliced canopy, it could even provide shelter from rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye unhesitatingly restored the previous splicing solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The design now presented before Chen Ye didn't look too bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only be said to better match the name \"apocalyptic pickup truck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous apocalyptic pickup truck looked like a rich kid's toy in the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now... it truly resembled a real apocalyptic pickup truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A weathered, battle-hardened apocalyptic pickup truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the remaining design, he saved wherever possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Air conditioning in the cabin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That actually costs five hundred Slaughter Points?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way, delete it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the intercom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, delete that too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radio?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delete!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And automatic seats?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also delete!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Switch to manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the automatic oil-electric switching system was changed to manual by Chen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This system mainly automatically switched the vehicle to electric mode when the fuel tank was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To save Slaughter Points, Chen Ye directly changed it to manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, when Chen Ye drove this vehicle and ran out of gas, the vehicle would have to stop completely for him to manually switch to electric mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it didn't affect survival, even if it only saved a few Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye would unhesitatingly make the modification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the four wheels were removed by Chen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the system handled installation, it would still cost dozens of Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye preferred to install them himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for that steel heart, Chen Ye only kept the pre-installation position—he preferred to handle the remaining installation work himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the system's guidance, this apocalyptic pickup truck would have no problems with basic operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But comfort was completely out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every function that could be saved was eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Chen Ye's newly designed apocalyptic pickup truck wasn't much better than a tractor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye checked the system's budget again—it still required six thousand Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh... can't optimize it any further, this will have to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye confirmed the upgrade plan in the interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hourglass countdown appeared above the tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"09:59:59.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten hours!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be upgraded by around seven tomorrow morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourteen thousand Slaughter Points, spent six thousand, leaving eight thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upgrading the Wonder would cost another five thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving three thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He previously had fourteen thousand, but in the blink of an eye, only three thousand remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye once again felt anxious about having only three thousand Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having solved the tricycle modification and upgrade problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye stood up, brushed the sand off his pants, and walked toward Iron Lion's yellow school bus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the constantly flickering flashlight beam, he could tell they still hadn't given up.\u003C\u002Fp>",1160,"2026-05-30T15:16:55.251Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","31798b03811a23df2a6efeb60b99d9f0983286833c027426f9c7685baafe9046","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-57","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-55",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
