survivors died previously, their supplies became Iron Lion's private property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time supplies were collected, whatever supplies survivors on Iron Lion's vehicles obtained also became collective property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to long-term accumulation, Iron Lion was the wealthiest individual in this convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was also the one with the highest consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people contributed all their supplies, and Iron Lion was also responsible for their daily lives, ensuring they wouldn't starve to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the collected supplies yielded a bountiful harvest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their daily provisions would be more abundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If supplies were scarce, like recently, they only got two bowls of thin porridge per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those three survivors who rode motorcycles earlier, although they lived more freely than them, their corpses were probably already dried into jerky by the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Lion's supplies were spread out over a large area on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most eye-catching were boxes and boxes of the latest model fruit phones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the apocalypse, these were hard currency, costing over ten thousand each, with top configurations even reaching twenty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew where Iron Lion got them from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after the apocalypse, these phones had most likely turned into bricks, but they were still quite attention-grabbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, no one would actually trade for these phones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also some clothes and similar items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for food,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there was some too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you wanted to exchange for drinking water, only food could be traded for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also several bottles of alcohol and cigarettes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When these items were displayed, Chen Ye could clearly see that old scoundrel Mo Huairen coming over as if smelling them from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy, like Chen Ye, was also an old smoker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these times, getting hold of manufactured cigarettes wasn't an easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Xixi's supplies seemed smaller compared to Iron Lion's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she laid out that row of knives, it also attracted many people's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Great Xia, obtaining guns was difficult, so these blades became sought-after items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these were just ordinary knives and useless against Anomalies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were still quite intimidating when dealing with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the apocalypse, not only could Anomalies kill people—sometimes humans were even more terrifying than Anomalies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Chu's items were varied and diverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had all kinds of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most attractive among them were undoubtedly the two Wonder Materials obtained from the Human-Faced Scorpion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Chu had discussed with the others before bringing out these two items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everyone wanted these two Wonder Materials to eventually create Wonders when opportunities arose,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the current situation didn't permit it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top priority now was solving the drinking water problem, so despite reluctance, they had to be brought out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Chen Ye's supplies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were the least among the several people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had been blown away during the sandstorm earlier, but fortunately there was some food in the cockpit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye had no choice but to bring out a portion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also several bottles of baijiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were collected back in Xinghua Town and had been tossed in a corner all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous beer had all been traded away by Sun Xixi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These liquors had been stored with the idea of trading for supplies later—he never expected they'd still come in handy now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Chen Ye also had some cigarettes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these cigarettes, under normal circumstances, Chen Ye would never bring out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like shopping, Chen Ye walked past each of the camel train's stalls one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on understanding, most of the supplies in the camel train belonged to several Sequence Superpower users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slaves had no property of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, each stall had several emaciated \"slaves\" helping watch over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also considered providing service to Chen Ye and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye, Iron Lion, and Sun Xixi lingered in front of these stalls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even their assistants were circling around the camel train's stalls at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Captain Chu Che, he had already disappeared into a tent with Old Man Mo, seemingly discussing large-scale transactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you trade for this? What size?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye pointed at a pair of white and red high-top Aizhui sneakers and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these shoes were genuine, they would have cost at least over two thousand before the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His previous shoes had their soles melted off in the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Chen Ye was still wearing flip-flops now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't matter in the desert for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would definitely leave the desert eventually, and having a pair of shoes would be important then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall was run by a young man with deeply sunken cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the question, he weakly raised his head: \"Size 43, two jin of rice, or ten packs of instant noodles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the cigarette in Chen Ye's mouth, the young man added: \"One pack of cigarettes works too, any kind will do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These shoes are collaboration edition, guaranteed authentic, inspect them as you like!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye sneered: \"Are you crazy? Just a pair of shoes, and you want two jin of rice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were before the apocalypse and Chen Ye dared ask like that, someone would probably have spat in his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man also got agitated: \"When I bought these shoes, I spent over three thousand! Is two jin of rice too much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know that was back then? One pack of instant noodles, take it or leave it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One pack of instant noodles? You... you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man's chest heaved violently as if he'd been insulted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the shoes, then at Chen Ye, moisture seeming to appear in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth, he said: \"I... I'll trade...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two words seemed to use up his last bit of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye turned back to the vehicle, took out a pack of Old Altar Pickled Vegetables flavor and tossed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man looked at the Old Altar Pickled Vegetables in his hand, his expression looking constipated: \"At least give me Braised Beef flavor! I don't like Old Altar Pickled Vegetables!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take it or leave it, that's all there is, nothing else...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye bent down, grabbed these collaboration edition white and red high-top Aizhui shoes, and took them away along with the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man walked over, snatched the Old Altar Pickled Vegetables from the young man's hand, sneered, and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man's mouth twitched violently, tears almost overflowing from his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shoes were his—over three thousand worth of shoes traded for just one container of Old Altar Pickled Vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it had been confiscated too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life was unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he had managed to trade for some food today, so he'd get a spoonful of clear soup as commission for dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye came again to the small desktop fan from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He traded three cigarettes for this item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small fan was even less valuable than those Aizhui shoes earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without electricity, this small fan was just decoration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those cassette tapes, Chen Ye used just one cigarette to trade for several dozen boxes of tapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These things were already unwanted before the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the current apocalypse, they were even more neglected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most vehicles now supported Bluetooth playback, and even older models only supported discs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only specific groups of people had machines that could play such antiquated things as cassette tapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Ye was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he had Slaughter Points, he could exchange for anything he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye had already decided that once he had a bit more Slaughter Points to spare, he'd ask the System to exchange for a car player that could play cassette tapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just consulted the System—exchanging for a car player that could play cassette tapes only required eighty Slaughter Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This amount of Slaughter Points, Chen Ye was willing to pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least driving wouldn't be so boring in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye was actually doing well enough now to start considering enjoyment matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, hehe, how do you trade for that baijiu of yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An aged voice sounded by Chen Ye's ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Old Man Mo who had just come out of the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy had clearly set his sights on Chen Ye's baijiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This old man wasn't picky about either tobacco or alcohol—when he saw baijiu at Chen Ye's stall, he couldn't tear himself away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trade your bull bones for it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1419,"2026-05-30T15:16:55.251Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","20f36acfd6a7d2b2d9a135883a8774268275dabb3e4d1de6c032cdc4967c17b5","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-87","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-85",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
