Captain Chu's modified off-road vehicle with the word \"Fairness\" painted in red on its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following closely behind was the pink-haired, long-legged high school girl with a drinking problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the window, Chen Ye saw that this woman had gotten drunk again, passed out in the passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really didn't understand how this woman managed to be drunk for twenty out of twenty-four hours every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she noticed Chen Ye looking at her, the woman shook her beer can at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye raised his cigarette in response—a moment of mutual understanding between a chain-smoker and an alcoholic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mopar pickup truck vibrated slightly as it shifted gears and started moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This large pickup truck with distinct apocalyptic styling followed behind the long-legged girl's vehicle like a massive beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even numerous flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Chen Ye, this was the best vehicle one could have in the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many survivors cast envious glances, wishing they could drag Chen Ye out of the vehicle and take his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding such a vehicle in the apocalypse was something most people couldn't even dream of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting inside the vehicle, he could see the endless desert stretching in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from their convoy, there were no other signs of human presence around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would have been absolutely impossible before the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the end times, even in the most remote areas of this land, you could still find traces of human civilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like in just a few months, this land had transformed into something unrecognizable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye always had a feeling that this apocalypse might not be as simple as it seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take this harsh desert weather, for example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The daytime temperatures could literally heat you to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the nighttime temperatures could freeze you to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such extreme weather patterns were unheard of before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there were those anomalous creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They definitely weren't organisms that should exist on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some survivors had speculated that unknown dimensions might be merging with Earth's space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others guessed it could be a spiritual energy resurgence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were all kinds of theories floating around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather remained unbearably hot as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye rolled down both windows, letting the scorching wind blow across the undulating sand dunes into the cabin, carrying away the sweat from his temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore black sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, blocking the intense glare from outside and giving his eyes some relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the apocalypse, these sunglasses wouldn't have been anything special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the current situation of severe material shortages, many people envied Chen Ye's sunglasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had even tried to trade for them, but Chen Ye had refused all offers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his feet, he wore flip-flops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His previous shoes had been lost during the major vehicle accident—when he got out to search for a new vehicle, the soles had melted off from the heat, forcing Chen Ye to wear flip-flops ever since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What bothered Chen Ye even more was the smell on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been months since his last proper bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The odor was truly unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flicking his cigarette butt out the window, he kept one hand on the steering wheel while reaching to the passenger seat with the other to grab a bottle of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drank the last remaining water in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his mouth slightly moistened, he carefully tucked the empty bottle under the passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the apocalypse, Chen Ye would have casually tossed such bottles into the trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, even these empty bottles counted as valuable resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew when they might find a new water source?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These would become containers for storing water when that time came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye had already collected dozens of such empty bottles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the initial excitement of driving gradually faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Chen Ye began to feel somewhat bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only he had a radio now to play some music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or even better, if he could install a car air conditioner—that would be perfect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, this vehicle was way too stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel every small pebble on the road transmitting clearly through to his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The minimal shock absorption he'd designed into it didn't really help much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this was just human nature—never being satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First he wanted a vehicle, and after getting one, he immediately wanted better comforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the convoy gradually slowing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned out to look and saw two vehicles parked by the roadside ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were two completely burned-out vehicles, reduced to nothing but charred frames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Chu's vehicle had already come to a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man came running out from the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye recognized him—he was the third person in Captain Chu's vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were three people total in Captain Chu's vehicle: Old Bao usually handled miscellaneous convoy matters for Captain Chu, while Captain Chu himself typically didn't involve himself in convoy affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third person was this young man called Xiao Wang, who served as Old Bao's assistant—sometimes helping with driving, other times assisting Old Bao with various tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd always heard Old Bao refer to him as \"Xiao Wang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially serving as the convoy assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pink-haired long-legged girl's vehicle had only two people including herself—besides the long-legged girl, the other person was called \"Xiao Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a petite girl under 150 cm tall, wearing black-framed glasses, and reportedly even younger than the pink-haired long-legged girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twice, Chen Ye had seen this short girl struggling to drag the long-legged girl into their vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd even overheard the short girl calling Nana \"cousin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye had even seen this petite girl driving the modified off-road vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you didn't look carefully, you might think the vehicle was driving itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Chen Ye's watchful gaze, Xiao Wang quickly ran up to the two burned-out vehicle frames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Ye parked his vehicle properly and jumped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, whenever he saw vehicles, his eyes would light up—who knew what useful items might be inside them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering supplies was the first rule of apocalyptic survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others were getting out of their vehicles behind him, probably thinking along the same lines—checking just in case there might be something useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Ye!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wang was inspecting the situation and quickly greeted Chen Ye when he saw him approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye nodded, examining the two vehicle frames before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both vehicles had been thoroughly burned, with nothing salvageable left inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each vehicle contained two corpses, already partially carbonized from the intense heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding nothing useful, Chen Ye returned to his vehicle disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were equally disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The convoy started moving again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this minor interruption, the convoy returned to its previous lifeless atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew where they would rest tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew when this kind of life would end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew when this migration would finally conclude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone gazed despairingly at the endless desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, horn sounds came from the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attention everyone! Route change—we need to leave the paved road!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attention! We need to leave the paved road!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant the convoy was leaving the highway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This information immediately disrupted many people's rhythms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou Sisters and people from another small car visibly changed expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driving on sand surfaces was completely different from driving on paved roads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other off-road vehicles could manage fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the small cars would clearly struggle much more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The convoy gradually came to a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people went to ask Old Bao for explanations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye, cigarette in mouth, went to find Captain Chu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nana and Iron Lion also gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Chu's expression looked somewhat troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No choice—there's danger ahead. If we proceed now, we might not have any survivors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That dangerous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye flicked his cigarette ash, his expression turning more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Extremely dangerous. Although our convoy has four Sequence Superpower users, if we encounter more powerful Anomalies, none of you might be a match for them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Chu said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, leaving the highway it is then. Our vehicle can handle it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pink-haired, long-legged high school alcoholic girl swayed as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because she'd drunk too much, she could barely stand steady, reaching out to support herself on Chen Ye's shoulder while giggling foolishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye could only shrug helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaware that from the yellow school bus behind them, a pair of charming eyes watched with a hint of jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, everyone, don't worry too much. We'll be safe as long as we don't proceed forward. Everyone return to your vehicles and let some air out of your tires.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When driving in desert conditions, you needed to adjust tire pressure according to the sand conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye also returned to his vehicle, letting some air out of all four tires before returning to the driver's cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the convoy left the highway, everyone felt somewhat nervous at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they quickly adapted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou Sisters' sedan got stuck in the sand once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nana's vehicle pulled them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night gradually fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Captain Chu still hadn't given the order to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tense atmosphere permeated the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye kept a cigarette constantly at his lips, the cabin filled with smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smoke was his weapon—within the range covered by his Smoke Breath, Chen Ye could detect everything happening in that area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This smoke essentially served as Chen Ye's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still a few hours left before the machete's upgrade would complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, when the blood moon hung high in the sky, Captain Chu finally announced they could rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only from Captain Chu that they learned it was already 9 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just half an hour, the first Wonder would complete its upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>",1617,"2026-05-30T15:16:55.251Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","d5578b3e8795bf60f48ae02d96ce94a72cf6923cd721db94c6742f00dc32d3ac","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-66","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-64",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
