Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 226: The Rules of Murder

Every residential house in Divine Elephant Village has a number.

According to the numbering arrangement, the lower the number, the larger the house's area, and of course, the more people live there.

Three people had died before, including the one who took his own life.

Divine Elephant Village had lost four people.

And this time, seven people were lost at once.

Soon, security officers carried the corpse of the man named Zeng Qiang to the temple.

Big Head Village Chief once again used his death recollection ability.

A stream of multicolored light appeared in his hand and connected with the deceased's head.

After a few minutes, Big Head Village Chief let out a soft sigh.

This time, the situation was pretty much the same as before.

"I can feel the fear Zeng Qiang felt before he died. As for anything else, I can't see more!"

Next, Assistant Xiao Zheng even moved the bodies of the other deceased to the main hall of the temple.

The village chief used the death recollection ability on each person.

For a Sequence 3 Pathfinder, using this death recollection ability consumes a portion of their energy each time.

But doing this was necessary.

Even though Big Head Village Chief ended up needing assistance from others to stand.

Still, there was some progress.

After viewing the death recollections of everyone, they finally pieced together the general picture of what happened.

In residential house number 132, that Wu Dawei seemed to have received some kind of instruction, and then he killed his girlfriend.

Later, he received another instruction, rushed into the room opposite, and killed the married couple inside.

First, he killed one person, later he killed two people.

Finally, Wu Dawei obviously fell into extreme mental confusion and ended his own life.

The situation in residential house number 12 was similar.

At the beginning, it was one person.

Later, it was two people.

Then later, it was three people.

Finally, the mentally confused Zeng Qiang walked the same path as Wu Dawei.

Such an answer obviously didn't make everyone relax much.

There was no need to guess anymore.

An Anomaly had already arrived in the village. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Wu Dawei and his girlfriend had a very good relationship, they often called each other husband and wife."

"Sometimes in front of others, Wu Dawei would also say things like 'my wife this, my wife that...'"

"Wu Dawei and his girlfriend had promised that once the apocalypse ended, they would get their marriage certificate!"

"Just... just..."

"There are many situations like this in the village!"

"After experiencing the apocalypse, everyone treasures the hard-won connections especially much. Many people, feeling it was right, just moved in together."

"Some couldn't wait and held weddings presided over by the village chief."

"Some didn't..."

Assistant Xiao Zheng's voice was hoarse, but tears never fell from his eyes.

In an apocalypse like this, there were too many sad things, tears had long since dried up!

Chen Ye didn't know how to comfort this village chief's assistant.

He heard Xiao Zheng wasn't old, just in his thirties, but half his hair was already white.

On Xiao Zheng, Chen Ye faintly saw the shadow of Old Bao from back then.

Big Head Village Chief stood at the boundary between light and shadow in the main hall, half his body in the light, half in darkness.

"Everyone, regarding this matter, I entrust it to you!"

Big Head Village Chief bowed deeply to Chen Ye, Chu Che, and the Pink-haired Girl.

His attitude was extremely sincere.

Even the Slovenly Daoist Priest carrying the gun also bowed deeply to Chen Ye and the other two at this moment, his voice serious for the first time: "We entrust it to you!"

Assistant Xiao Zheng, and the other security officers.

Also bowed deeply to Chen Ye and the other two: "We entrust it to you!"

Looking at these people bowing ninety degrees to him, Chen Ye felt pressure for the first time.

...

After leaving the temple.

Chen Ye returned to the streets of Divine Elephant Village again.

"How about we go check on Iron Lion and Ding Dong, see how things are on their side?"

The Pink-haired Girl suggested.

By the time Chen Ye and the others found Iron Lion.

The guy was lying on top of the panel van, fast asleep.

The commotion in Divine Elephant Village hadn't affected him at all.

The Corroding Marrow Six Eyes was placed beside him.

Chen Ye and the others didn't disturb Iron Lion's good sleep and turned to leave.

Ding Dong and that Big Monk were each sitting in meditation on opposite sides.

They seemed to sense Chen Ye and the others' arrival.

Ding Dong opened her eyes, gave a slight nod to Chen Ye and the others, then closed her eyes again to continue meditating.

The three of them had a brief discussion about the matter.

"Squad Leader Chu, the situation in Divine Elephant Village is not simple. We need to prepare an escape route early!"

This was what Chen Ye said.

The brutality of this Anomaly was clearly different from previous ones.

With the previous Anomalies, you could at least face them head-on.

But this current Anomaly simply doesn't show itself. So far, they didn't even know what the thing actually was.

Even the Pathfinder's senses were very limited.

"Chen Ye, there are a thousand people here. If we all leave, the thousand people in Divine Elephant Village could be wiped out!"

The Pink-haired Girl expressed considerable dissatisfaction with Chen Ye's words.

Chen Ye couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

A little girl of just nineteen, what the hell does she know.

The Pink-haired Girl continued her output: "Squad Leader Chu, how about this? We gather everyone together in one place. That way it's safer, and if something happens, we can look out for each other!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ye directly opposed.

"No, I object!"

"Sun Xixi, are you a pig brain?"

"So many people have died, haven't you found any pattern at all?"

Being scolded, the Pink-haired Girl was also a little angry and retorted defiantly: "What pattern?"

"The previous house number 132, the later house number 12, all the people who died were from the same residential house, their relationships were very close!"

"At least the distance was very close."

The Pink-haired Girl's eyes flickered slightly: "A Rule Anomaly!"

Chen Ye threw her an approving look.

The Pink-haired Girl wasn't stupid!

She just wasn't as suspicious, as cunning and treacherous as Chen Ye.

After all, the Pink-haired Girl was only nineteen.

Just give her another half a minute to think, and she would have realized the killing rule too!

However, the Pink-haired Girl wasn't happy about Chen Ye's approving look. Instead, she was quite indignant.

Chen Ye's look was like looking at a little dog obeying a command, just short of saying "good dog" out loud.

"A Rule Anomaly that even a Sequence 3 Blood Path Sacrificer couldn't detect."

"If we really gathered together, we would most likely trigger the death rule!"

This was what Chu Che said.

Squad Leader Chu's hair seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, and he looked more and more cunning and sinister.

"And, I don't believe that guy hasn't figured it out."

Chu Che didn't say this last sentence out loud.

With so much information, they had already pieced together the general picture of this Rule-type Anomaly.

Even if that guy had some ulterior motives, Chu Che didn't want these thousand people to die!

Because!

There really aren't many humans left!!!

Chu Che didn't want humanity to go extinct on this planet.

If he didn't help, that old man would definitely use those eighteen honored elders in the temple.

Judging by the old man's attitude, the cost would definitely be huge, perhaps even unbearably huge.

If it were him, he'd probably make the same choice as this old thing!

From the death recollections the village chief relayed earlier, Chen Ye only saw two words: "Infighting!" Or: "Brothers killing each other!"

This was also related to Chen Ye's inherently suspicious nature.

A normal person wouldn't suddenly kill someone close to them.

Unless there was some irresistible reason.

And the situation they encountered now made Chen Ye feel very uneasy.

Chen Ye didn't want to fall into such a rule with his teammates.

The three of them almost simultaneously took several steps back and became alert to each other.

Chu Che and Sun Xixi both warily watched Chen Ye.

Both kept their distance from Chen Ye.

Sun Xixi seemed to think of something and moved even farther away from Chu Che.

Sun Xixi's face clearly read: "Chen Ye is no good, Squad Leader Chu is no good either, I don't trust anyone!"

"Squad Leader Chu, Mr. Chen, Miss Sun."

Just then, convoy assistant Xiao Zheng ran over, sweating profusely.

The sound of his hurried footsteps echoed through the entire long street.

Seeing the three of them in such a state, he was a bit stunned at first.

"What do you need us for?"

Chen Ye's voice reminded Xiao Zheng.

"Mr. Chen, Squad Leader Chu, Miss Sun, there's... there's a survivor!"

"There's a person... who isn't dead!"
