Chen Ye had already reached the town gate and rushed past its archway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had his group passed through the gate than a large crowd swarmed around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, what happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honey, honey, are you back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little brother! Little brother! Where are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of people had gathered at the town gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them were women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many old people or children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the apocalypse, the elderly and children are physically weaker, so they struggle to escape when Anomalies appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adult women, on the other hand, have stamina and physical fitness only slightly lower than adult men, so they survive more easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them clustered around Chen Ye asking questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye didn’t answer; he gripped his hand crossbow and wormed his way out of the crowd, staying alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man climbed down from the modified off-road vehicle at the front of the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was dressed oddly: a hooded sweatshirt, loose jogger pants, and—strangely—no shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s face was solemn and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bent down, scooped a handful of dirt, and stuffed it into his mouth as if a chef tasting his latest dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his expression changed and he said, “Move! If we don’t leave now, it’ll be too late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he said that, the faces of several people around him shifted as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They scrambled back to their vehicles, crawling and running as if some great terror was about to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about Nana and Iron Lion?” someone asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, they’ll catch up! Move, no more talking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon the movement of these vehicles was noticed by other survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they leaving?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right— it was already past five in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night would come soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the town so close, once darkness fell and the town’s Anomalies came out, everyone in the convoy would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! My husband hasn’t come back yet—you can’t leave!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, my brother isn’t back either! Don’t abandon us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some panicked and even tried to block the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want to die? Get out of the way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The modified off-road ignored the blockers and accelerated wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye’s face changed and he prepared to pedal after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged aunt suddenly grabbed the handlebars of Chen Ye’s tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, you can’t leave! Take us with you. We’re old—if you don’t take us, we won’t survive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye frowned; a flash of disgust crossed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He loathed this middle-aged aunt’s behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the apocalypse many of these retired aunties’ pensions were practically higher than his salary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were energetic—either doing square dances or rushing supermarkets to snatch eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they clung to age to demand a ride on his tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get lost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, do you even know what respecting elders and caring for the young means…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye kicked the self-important aunt into a nearby drainage ditch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stamped on the tricycle and sped after the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A string of curses rose from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems like the apocalypse arriving so suddenly wasn’t all good—many people, like the Yoga Pants Woman, hadn’t fully adapted to the apocalypse’s rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead off‑roader picked up speed, abandoning its usual slow pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survivors without vehicles quickly fell behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Chen Ye’s tricycle had an assist device; even with the cargo bed full, he could barely keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a bus lurched and swayed out of town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye recognized the bus—it was part of the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier it had been packed, but now through the windows it looked noticeably emptier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One survivor tried to stop the bus and was run over and flung away, his fate unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bus seemed like it had fire behind it—its accelerator floored as it chased the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye stood and pedaled like mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tricycle darted past several bicycles and dangled far behind a motorcycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then he wished more than ever that his tricycle were electric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was time to switch to a four-wheeler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refueling or recharging would be a pain, but it would be much better than this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tricycle kept racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to years of major infrastructure projects, the roads were still passable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with some potholes, Chen Ye’s tricycle handled them fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know why the people ahead seemed to be running madly, but he knew that if he didn’t keep up, he might die tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only today had he realized there were actually two Sequence Superpowers in the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe that’s why the convoy had stayed safe until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huff… wheeze…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye was drenched in sweat; his clothes were soaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lungs felt scorched, convulsing violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the assist device, he would’ve fallen behind for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the convoy ahead in his sight was reduced to a faint glimmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy breathing came from not far behind—clearly a few cyclists were nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those traveling on foot, he hadn’t seen any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After who knew how long, the faint glimmer ahead seemed to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little hope sparked in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Chen Ye finally rejoined the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People were getting out of the vehicles and setting up tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a two-meter-tall Burly Man carried onto a patch of open ground, his left arm severed at the shoulder, blood staining the grass red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the Burly Man’s side stood a sword-carrying girl and the barefoot man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye’s arrival drew their glances—apparently they were surprised that the first to return was someone on a tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parking his tricycle, Chen Ye collapsed with a somersault and panted heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest heaved with each breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About five minutes later his breathing finally steadied slightly; his whole body felt like it had fallen apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced himself up, sat against the tricycle tire, and pulled out a cigarette, trembling as he lit it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow illuminated Chen Ye’s silhouette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huff…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled a long plume of smoke and felt some of the exhaustion lift with the nicotine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he feel a little better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled up the system and found his Slaughter Points had already exceeded twelve hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back on the earlier chaos, Chen Ye had only one plan now—replace his tricycle with an electric tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1216,"2026-05-30T15:16:54.972Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","d34c4a1306f09e4a0903179f31675ceff02c4f2e065bfc764a49261d1f33bfff","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-8","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-6",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
