enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for that muscle devil man's assistance, he probably wouldn't even have gathered those thousand-plus Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After experiencing this incident, Chen Ye finally understood the precious value of an electric tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the convoy ahead hadn't stopped, he would have been completely left behind by the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this apocalypse, being abandoned by the convoy meant only one path awaited him—death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye was absolutely certain that the convoy's frantic, disorganized escape today meant they had detected some danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ensuring he wouldn't be left behind by the convoy was now the most critical matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ideally, he should upgrade to a tricycle that combined both human power and electric power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During normal convoy travel, he could use human power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, can I design my own upgrade plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye tried asking the system a question in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the system quickly provided a definite reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 3D stereoscopic effect diagram soon appeared before Chen Ye's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the upgrade plan provided by the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the system's design plan, the tricycle's three wheels were completely replaced with vacuum tires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three tires became 16-inch tires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the cargo bed looked sturdier than before, and its volume increased somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handlebars were equipped with throttle and brakes, and there was even a headlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye thought about it—if he encountered rainy weather later without any cover, he'd be directly exposed to the rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Chen Ye directly modified the front section into an enclosed cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he changed all three tires to off-road solid tires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to vacuum tires, solid tires had the advantage of requiring less maintenance and being puncture-proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were more suitable for heavy loads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the suspension would be worse, making the ride bumpier and putting more stress on the frame, solid tires were still more appropriate for this post-apocalyptic world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Chen Ye even considered reinforcing the frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the system, just a thought from Chen Ye was enough for the system to prepare all plans according to his design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was even more comprehensive than Chen Ye had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system would actively optimize any unreasonable plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original system design was for a two-wheel rear-drive configuration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye thought about it and directly changed it to a three-wheel drive scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this apocalypse, while three-wheel drive couldn't compare to four-wheel drive, it was definitely much better than rear-wheel drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye even modified the vehicle's chassis frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly changed it to a body-on-frame chassis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was worth noting that typical body-on-frame chassis were only used on hardcore off-road vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantages included suitability for rock crawling, desert crossing, and traversing uninhabited areas—functions that were absolutely perfect for the current post-apocalyptic world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this round of modifications, the design diagram before him bore no relation whatsoever to the original tricycle bicycle, looking like an entirely different vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really had such an apocalypse tricycle, it probably wouldn't be much worse than those modified off-road vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye directly clicked confirm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 3D model before him shimmered illusively, and a line of information appeared before Chen Ye's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Currently performing reasonable optimization based on the present plan!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Optimizing in progress!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Upgrading to electric tricycle requires 3,500 Slaughter Points. Insufficient Slaughter Points available. Upgrade plan cannot be achieved.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It requires three thousand five hundred Slaughter Points? That many?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is way too expensive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye was dumbfounded—he only had just over 1,200 Slaughter Points currently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Chen Ye looked at the tricycle he had designed, he was practically drooling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really had to give up on it, Chen Ye wouldn't be willing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye lit a cigarette, thought about it, and had no choice but to modify the original design plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He removed functions that weren't immediately necessary for now, keeping only some urgently needed features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even canceled the headlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All to save Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye looked at the simplified modification plan before him, feeling somewhat unwilling in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was the only way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[According to the current upgrade plan, 1,200 Slaughter Points are required. Upgrade will take 15 hours!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proceed with upgrade?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He currently had only a little over 1,200 Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen hours was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Chen Ye was about to click confirm, his gaze swept over the roadside not far away, spotting an abandoned motorcycle parked there, and his eyes suddenly lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The motorcycle was just lying fallen by the roadside, covered in rust, with even moss growing in the crevices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such scenes were everywhere in the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Ye had enough luck and patience, he might even find an off-road vehicle directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then perhaps Chen Ye wouldn't need to only upgrade this tricycle before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality offered no such possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only asset Chen Ye had at his disposal was this tricycle before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn't quickly utilize the Upgrade System, he probably wouldn't survive many more days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, if I can obtain components, can the Slaughter Points be reduced somewhat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system quickly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If suitable components are found, the system may appropriately reduce some Slaughter Points!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye suppressed his excited heart and trembling hands, lit a cigarette, and slightly calmed the turmoil within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame's glow faintly illuminated Chen Ye's profile, making his eyes appear sparkling bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, let's do this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye struggled to get up from the ground, feeling only weakness and soreness throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dragged the roadside motorcycle over to the tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People not far away heard the noise, glanced toward Chen Ye, then turned their heads away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply didn't care what this ordinary person Chen Ye was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those people had already started setting up tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even began lighting fires and roasting meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aroma of meat drifted to Chen Ye's nostrils, making him feel like he was frantically secreting saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye could only take two fierce puffs of his cigarette, forcefully suppressing the hunger, and focus his attention on the system modification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, can I use this motorcycle here for modification?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The motorcycle's tires, engine, and even many of its components could be used for modification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes, current modification requires 900 Slaughter Points!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only saved three hundred Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That really wasn't worth much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, are there any other ways to save some Slaughter Points?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes, if the host can disassemble all components of the motorcycle and preliminarily install them onto the tricycle, 100 Slaughter Points can be saved!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If the host can find a third tire, another 100 Slaughter Points can be saved.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If the host...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the completion level of the desired upgrade target, the more Slaughter Points could be saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye currently had no tools at all, so he could only manage to this extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that when going out to gather supplies later, he'd need to collect a set of tools too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Chen Ye wanted to check if there were other abandoned motorcycles by the roadside, but because it was too dark, he couldn't see clearly into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would have to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the system's modification, the original electric tricycle became gasoline-powered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that when gathering supplies later, he'd have to follow the convoy to search for gasoline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his tricycle had two driving modes after the modification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was human-powered, and the other was engine-powered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the modification, riding it probably wouldn't be as easy as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After clicking confirm in the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye saw an hourglass countdown appear on his tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upgrade would take six hours to complete, saving nine hours compared to the previous fifteen hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculating it this way, the modification would be finished by tomorrow morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Chen Ye have the time to look at the supplies he had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he left the supermarket, he had taken two large bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two bags were snatched from that Yoga Pants Woman and Qiangzi.\u003C\u002Fp>",1357,"2026-05-30T15:16:54.972Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","0ad016d7536e00b860b100cffafcea9bb8b20f1608fe33140a7712e57a25de18","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-9","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-7",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
