Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 228: Nicknames of the Caravan Members

Chen Ye said this not to show off, but to complain about his bad luck.

There were so many superhumans—the pink-haired girl, Iron Lion, the Taoist priest, and the big monk—all decent targets.

Who would have thought it would specifically target him?

The meaning of these words was a sigh, lamenting his own misfortune.

This sentence needed to be spoken with a tone of lament.

The mask was an anomaly Chen Ye had never seen before.

Just sensing the feeling emanating from it made Chen Ye's heart pound with fear.

Even though this anomaly wearing the gilded mask was standing not far away, Chen Ye had a feeling that this thing, this anomaly, was incredibly distant from him.

This feeling was very strange.

It was like...

It was like he and this anomaly were not in the same space.

Same space?

Chen Ye suddenly understood.

No wonder!

No wonder neither Chu Che nor the village chief, both pathfinders, could sense its presence.

A superhuman's five senses and six perceptions far exceeded those of ordinary people.

Well, to be more precise, most superhumans had a sixth sense beyond that of normal people.

Chen Ye looked at the surrounding environment.

The street was still that street.

But Chen Ye felt that he had already been dragged into a very peculiar space by this anomaly wearing the gilded mask.

He was no longer in the original location.

Chen Ye looked up at the sky above him, feeling slightly relieved in his heart.

Captain Chu Che had just left a huge marking above Chen Ye's head.

It was precisely to guard against this kind of situation.

He was probably not in the original space now.

Chu Che should have already noticed his disappearance.

Presumably, by now he had already gathered Iron Lion and the pink-haired girl.

As long as he could delay a little longer, the situation was bound to turn around.

Knowing there was danger today, Chen Ye had never stopped the cigarette at the corner of his mouth.

And he had been carrying a not-so-small backpack on his back the whole time.

He gently exhaled a puff of smoke breath.

As the smoke churned, it not only protected Chen Ye's surroundings, but a graceful, ashen-white figure slowly walked out from within the smoke, holding a death god scythe.

While Chen Ye was performing all these actions.

The gilded mask-wearing man not far away remained motionless, the emptiness hidden behind that mask staring at Chen Ye all along.

He showed no intention of stopping any of Chen Ye's actions.

Before Chen Ye could make his next move.

He felt a slight fluctuation in space.

Turning his head, Chen Ye saw the door of the house closest to him open.

A panicked man, holding a sharpened steel pipe, walked in trembling with fear.

In that instant, Chen Ye understood.

The anomaly's rule for killing was the proximity principle;whoever was closest to the target was the one pulled into the rule.

No wonder people died dormitory by dormitory before.

This wasn't a perfect match with Chen Ye's previous speculation, but it was somewhat related.

The first impression Chen Ye had upon seeing this man was a phrase flashing in his mind: "timid as a mouse."

In the apocalypse, those timid as mice, due to their cautious nature, were not few among the survivors.

Most of the bold ones died off early on.

The man first saw the terrifying masked man in the direction of the street.

Those withered limbs, and that figure that clearly didn't look like a normal person.

Anyone who wasn't a fool could guess at first glance that this was a terrifying anomaly.

The man's legs shook with fear, his lips turned somewhat pale, and his eyes were filled with terror.

The hand holding the steel pipe trembled incessantly, the sharp tip of the pipe aimed at the terrifying anomaly.

"You... you... who are you!?"

"You..."

"Shut up!"

Just as the man was trembling.

An impatient shout came.

The man almost dropped the weapon in his hand, turning his head towards the impatient voice.

He saw a man wearing sunglasses, with an icy-cold face, surrounded by mist, giving him a cold glance.

The moment he saw this sunglasses-wearing man.

The man only felt a hot, damp flow running down his thigh, instantly staining the crotch of his pants a dark color.

His eyes had been filled with panic before.

The instant he saw Chen Ye, the man's eyes were filled with despair.

Cold sweat instantly covered his face.

"You... you are... Black-hearted Chen!"

"It's over... it's over... This time, I'm definitely dead!"

The man staggered two steps, plopping down on the ground, his entire being radiating an aura of despair.

This man was a villager of Divine Elephant Village.

He had also had some contact with some survivors from the convoy.

Not just this man, the villagers of Divine Elephant Village heard one name most often from the convoy survivors, and it wasn't Chu Che, nor Sun Xixi.

It was this mysterious and eerie one-eyed man.

There were many rumors about Chen Ye in the convoy.

But most were negative.

Rumors tend to become more and more outrageous the more they spread;after passing through several mouths, Chen Ye had become an existence more terrifying than anomalies.

A saying circulated within the convoy: encountering an anomaly still left a sliver of hope for survival.

If you provoked Black-hearted Chen, it was absolutely a ten-out-of-ten death sentence.

Add to that the fact this man was famously timid in the village.

He was often mocked by the villagers for his timidity.

But it was also because of his timidity that he had survived until now.

Now, with an anomaly blocking the way ahead, and Black-hearted Chen watching covetously from behind.

The man couldn't muster a single shred of will to resist.

Upon hearing the nickname "Black-hearted Chen."

Chen Ye's face darkened.

Without thinking, he knew this "One-eyed Chen" was obviously a nickname someone had given him.

Probably those survivors from the convoy!

Not just him, most people in the convoy had nicknames.

For example, from what Chen Ye knew, Captain Chu now had the nickname "Barefoot Baldy."

Although his hair wasn't completely gone yet.

It was only a matter of time;sometimes you could clearly see the patchy bald spots on Squad Leader Chu's head.

Some had also called him "Show-off Guy" before.

Because Squad Leader Chu always wore an expression of calm and profound mystery on his face.

Later, Squad Leader Chu's hair loss became too severe.

"Barefoot Baldy" started to gain the upper hand.

Then there was Iron Lion;"Big Fool" was what survivors often called him in secret.

Xue Nan was called "Convoy's Number One Ugly Man."

Ding Dong was called "One-armed Hero."

Xu Lina was called "Convoy's Number One Slut."

Old Li from the convoy was also often called "That Bald Guy."

The pink-haired girl, due to her relatively fiery temper, didn't have any obvious nickname spreading widely yet.

He himself seemed to have quite a few nicknames too.

It was just the first time someone dared to shout one in his face.

The only one probably without a nickname was the former Old Bao.

The man seemed to realize he had said something wrong, kowtowing repeatedly to Chen Ye: "Sorry, sorry... I didn't mean it, they... they..."

"Shut up!"

Now was not the time for this nonsense;the most troublesome issue at hand was this troublesome anomaly before them.

The man was startled by Chen Ye's shout, trembling as he lay prostrate on the ground.

Chen Ye had no time to bother with this man, focusing his attention on the masked man not far away.

The gilded mask split open a pitch-black upward crescent moon, emitting a creepy "hehe" laugh.

Just this laugh alone gave rise to countless unpleasant associations.

A very unpleasant voice came out.

"One minute, only one can live!"
