One million might not even buy a single cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the current trading system, food was the most stable currency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other supplies came second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything could be exchanged for food—even people were tradable commodities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the white-and-red limited edition collaboration sneakers Chen Ye just obtained, which cost three thousand before the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Chen Ye had acquired them with just one bucket of Old Altar Pickled Vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Wonder Materials could be obtained if one was willing to pay with food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the desert environment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what was more precious than food was drinking water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without water, they could only last 72 hours. In an environment like the desert, this theoretical time might be even shorter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, water resources were now the most valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Che's negotiation with Old Man Mo—the Human-Faced Scorpion Carapace and the Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin had only exchanged for ten cases of bottled water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind with twelve bottles per case, each bottle 550 milliliters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the apocalypse, such Wonder Materials would have been worth hundreds of millions, maybe more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to understand that each of these Wonder Materials contained unimaginably magical powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, these things could only be exchanged for ten cases of bottled water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't an exchange for water—it was an exchange for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this transaction was only achieved because Old Man Mo was afraid of pushing Chu Che too far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Wonder Materials could be crafted into Wonders to preserve life when encountering Anomalies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that only happened after they were crafted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The convoy had no water left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining drinking water could only sustain them for one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe not even a full day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those Wonder Materials probably wouldn't have the chance to be crafted into Wonders before the entire convoy died of dehydration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything prioritized survival above all else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Items like cigarettes and alcohol only had value among specific groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, if you had cigarettes, you could exchange them for some things from Chen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this ordinary baijiu was a very rare treasure in Old Man Mo's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apocalypse required some alcohol for numbness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he heard Chen Ye propose exchanging for the bull bones, the old man reacted strongly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kid, I knew you were cunning when I first saw you! You really did have your eyes on my bull bones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Mo wore an expression that said he had seen right through Chen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So? Will you trade or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dream on!

Are you interested?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chu Che approach, Old Man Mo revealed a lecherous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Che felt a bad premonition but still stopped walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye turned around and looked into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a woman with ordinary features sitting on a sand dune, coldly wrapping bandages around her hands with an indifferent expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if sensing Chen Ye's gaze, the woman slightly raised her eyes to glance at Chen Ye, then returned to focusing on wrapping her hand bandages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire process took less than 0.1 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from this woman was the youth completely wrapped in a cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth noticed Chen Ye's gaze and gave him a cold sneer, making a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye was momentarily stunned. When he first saw this youth, the youth had made the same gesture toward Iron Lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had infuriated Iron Lion at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed the little guy hadn't been targeting Iron Lion back then, but rather Chen Ye himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How interesting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye revealed his teeth in a smile, giving the youth a warm, gentle smile like the spring breeze of May.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth tossed Chen Ye a contemptuous look, seemingly attempting to provoke him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye completely ignored the youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this gesture could make Chen Ye angry, he wouldn't be Chen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this didn't mean Chen Ye was magnanimous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to understand that Chen Ye was a very petty person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to settle accounts with this kid later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye shifted his gaze further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camel train's \"slaves\" had already started packing supplies, organizing everything on the ground neatly, preparing to tie them onto the camels' backs for departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was already bright, and the temperature was rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Mo and Chu Che were still discussing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Che, I think that woman surnamed Xu in your convoy is quite nice. How about trading her to me? I'll give you five—no, ten bottles of water!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should know, in the desert, water is more precious than gold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that young girl surnamed Zhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it? With her included, I'm willing to offer two cases of drinking water. That's a fair price, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Mo licked his lips, looking toward Xu Lina, who appeared haggard but still had an excellent figure, and Zhou Xiaoxiao standing by the vehicle looking into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two were the most attractive women in the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were also the women countless survivors deeply cherished during sleepless nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Old Man Mo's gaze was too intense, making both women sense something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked over, and when they met Mo Huairen's eyes, they felt their whole bodies shudder, as if being stared at by a wild beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counting the time, it had only been about twelve hours of contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in the convoy had also seen the \"slaves\" in the camel train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone realized how fortunate they were to have a captain like Chu Che.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, they felt extreme fear toward Mo Huairen and the other Sequence Superpowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, unless they were idiots, everyone could guess what schemes this old man was plotting from his conversation with Chu Che.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Zhou Xiaoxiao and Xu Lina weren't very far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could hear most of the conversation between the two men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiaoxiao trembled all over, her face pale and bloodless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xu Lina, she looked toward Chen Ye with pleading eyes, shrinking her body closer to Chen Ye's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Mo Huairen's words, Chu Che's expression slightly changed: \"Captain Mo, please don't mention this again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, Little Chu, you're still too naive. This is the apocalypse! What's the point of being such a good person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this—I'll add another condition. Last night, someone came to my tent. Guess what she told me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Che's face stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew someone had entered Mo Huairen's tent last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't know who, and he didn't even dare to guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without making any sound, even the Eavesdropping Radio couldn't distinguish the person's identity and role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, Captain Chu had tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Che's expression kept changing, clearly indicating his inner turmoil. In just a few seconds, Captain Chu's face underwent several transformations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still gritted his teeth and said: \"Captain Mo, Xu Lina and Zhou Xiaoxiao are people. They... are not goods! They cannot be traded!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last few words were spoken with absolute determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiaoxiao went completely limp, as if she had just experienced hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xu Lina, she wasn't much better, reaching out to grab Chen Ye's arm, her body trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Huairen looked at Chu Che and laughed heartily: \"Hahaha... Captain Chu, you truly are Captain Chu. I underestimated you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Mo Huairen's address changed from \"Little Chu\" to \"Captain Chu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone also carried more respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, I don't want these two women anymore. I have more women than I can enjoy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll tell you directly—the one who entered my tent last night was a woman named Xu Jiaojiao. She pretty much sold all of you out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She told me what Sequences everyone has!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Chu, sometimes people can't be too kind. Remember, this is the apocalypse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Huairen spoke in the tone of a teacher lecturing a student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chu Che heard this, his face immediately darkened as if about to storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Ye were captain, this woman would have died countless times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chu Che thought differently—there were already few people left in the world, and he didn't want privilege and superpowers to become uncontrollable in his convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why he had never killed this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this woman had seemed relatively well-behaved later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected that the one who betrayed the convoy would be her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, killing intent appeared in Chu Che's eyes, but he still smiled at Mo Huairen: \"Thank you, Captain Mo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha... No problem. We're both captains. Like you, I hate traitors in the team most.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Huairen finally cast greedy glances at Xu Lina and Zhou Xiaoxiao, licking his lips, still feeling somewhat regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such beauties weren't encountered just anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Chen Ye also withdrew his greedy gaze from the supplies on the camels' backs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That drinking water, that food, and those camels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their conversation end, Chen Ye chuckled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Mo, our captain won't trade with you, but I will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Lina belongs to me. If you give me those bull bones, I'll give you this woman. How about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye pulled Xu Lina's hand, chuckling as he walked toward Mo Huairen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The machete on his back trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, the ordinary-looking woman was speaking with the youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Sun Xixi, she was currently directing several men to help her load supplies onto the vehicle, but her right hand had already gripped her sword hilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Lina heard Chen Ye's words, her small face turned deathly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nearly collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye, how... how could he do this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was simply a demon!\u003C\u002Fp>",1686,"2026-05-30T15:16:55.251Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","dc81a065fe6036a8e240d27912ff6306843674bb3983af7d1537a4d2dc90e25b","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-88","sequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--chapter-86",465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsequence-highway-survival-i-upgrade-supplies-in--cover.jpg"]
