Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 234: Wonder — Cat Ear Headphones

Divine Elephant Planting Base.

Professor Liu held a chunk of plant root, the new seed stock he was nurturing.

Professor Liu never paid much attention to what happened in the village;all his energy and focus were on this planting base beneath his feet.

Usually, no one came to disturb him.

But now, Professor Liu stared at those terrifying creatures floating above the village and stood there stunned for a long time.

Even as a Botanist Sequence, he was not particularly sensitive to such things.

Still, Professor Liu felt a bone-deep chill.

Those terrifying beings drifting above the village—no, they were more like vengeful spirits and ghosts from a horror film.

Standing there, Professor Liu could even hear screams and wails coming from the village.

Many of those cries were familiar to him.

Among those familiar voices, quite a few belonged to staff from this planting base.

Some of them he dealt with every day.

The Big Monk and Ding Dong each guarded one side, their auras making people feel secure.

Two grayish-white vengeful spirits seemed to have discovered this peach blossom haven, hissing as they charged in.

Before they could get close, one was grabbed and crushed by a golden hand.

The Big Monk’s face looked merciful, but his actions were merciless.

Another was blasted into nothing by a golden fist shadow, not even given time to issue a scream.

Compared to the village’s massacre, the planting base was practically a sanctuary.

Maybe because the planting base workers had all been sent home, only a few remained, and they weren’t as attractive to those vengeful spirits.

The village had a lot more people, so most of the spirits were drawn there.

Professor Liu looked at his precious plants, then at Ding Dong and the Big Monk.

He sighed and said, “Dashan, go help in the village!”

“Professor Liu, over here…”

Dashan didn’t expect Professor Liu to say that, his voice tinged with surprise.

“With this young lady here, it’s fine. Besides, I’m not like Big Head, totally lacking in countermeasures.”

When Professor Liu mentioned Big Head Village Chief, his tone contained no respect.

“The village needs you more!”

The Big Monk glanced toward the village, his expression even more sorrowful and worried.

More and more vengeful spirits floated above the village.

Several of them were pitch-black;even from this distance the Big Monk felt his heart pound.

He was of the Buddha Sequence, and he naturally suppressed this type of anomaly.

If he went to help now, it would definitely make a big difference.

But Professor Liu here…

“Go. There are more people in the village. I’m just this old wreck;with her here, I’ll be fine.” 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Those last words moved the Big Monk.

There was a difference between the planting base and the village;few anomalies drifted here.

The two of them staying here was somewhat wasteful.

The Big Monk gritted his teeth and bowed deeply to Ding Dong, his tone unbelievably sincere: “Professor Liu is in your hands. Please ensure his safety.”

Ding Dong raised one hand and slightly bowed in return: “Professor Liu won’t die in front of me!”

Hearing that simple sentence, the Big Monk’s face turned solemn as he regarded Ding Dong deeply.

He turned.

From a nearby bag he took out… a pair of over-ear headphones!

Yes, over-ear headphones.

The kind with glowing cat ears.

Before the apocalypse, many female game streamers liked these headphones for their cuteness and visual appeal.

Ding Dong hadn’t yet understood what the Big Monk intended to do with them.

Was he going to give them to her?

The Big Monk, acting entirely on his own, placed the unbearably cute cat ear over-ear headphones on his shaved head.

The two cat ears on the headphones immediately lit up with dazzling neon colors.

They cast a rainbow glow across the Big Monk’s head.

This…

Before Ding Dong could recover from the adorable shock, the Big Monk’s entire expression changed.

He became aggressive and rebellious, his face suddenly fierce and almost feral.

The peaceful aura that had surrounded him vanished the moment he put on the headphones.

If someone claimed the Big Monk had become a rap singer, a few people might believe it.

If he added a giant gold chain, it would be perfect.

Ding Dong could hear strong rhythmic music coming from the headphones.

Could this… also be a Wonder?

Before Ding Dong could react further, she saw the Big Monk take a huge stride forward, stepping into empty air as if sprinting, launching himself toward the village above.

Ding Dong watched the Big Monk’s agile silhouette and did not know what to say.

The Big Monk’s contrast still startled Ding Dong.

Professor Liu had already turned back to calmly study the plant root in his hands.

Only his hands, dry like ginger, trembled continuously.

Ding Dong came to the planting base gate, closed her eyes, crossed her legs, and resumed meditating.

…

Chen Ye held the handle of Hatred and slowly drew it out.

The blade and the blood-red scabbard clung to each other, reluctant, as if Chen Ye’s action of pulling out the blade caused them deep pain.

Like in a melodramatic soap opera where the male and female leads are about to part, everything sticky and drawn-out.

When the last blood thread detached from the blade.

Countless blood filaments even tried to pull the blade back into the scabbard.

Chen Ye gripped Hatred in his right hand, the Blasting Star in his left.

A very pale gray-white vengeful spirit charged at Chen Ye from behind to ambush him.

Just as Chen Ye was about to react, countless blood filaments surged from the blood-red scabbard and wrapped around the pale-gray spirit.

The spirit screamed in terror, trying to break free from the blood thread’s control.

But the filaments only pulled it closer until it was drawn into the scabbard.

Chen Ye was slightly stunned. Wait, the blood-red scabbard has this ability?

Why had he never known?

He remembered a line at the end of the description: “A terrifying existence that feeds on resentment.”

Those vengeful spirits in front of him were most likely formed from resentment.

To the scabbard, that was simply food.

Catching one faint gray-white spirit was not hard.

Before Chen Ye could think more, several more spirits had appeared in front of him.

Some were extremely pale, almost transparent gray-white.

But their faces were not friendly at all;each was hideously twisted with resentment.

It was as if they harbored deep hatred toward all living beings.

However, when those pale spirits approached Chen Ye, they suddenly let out silent screams and scrambled backward in panic.

As if they had encountered something truly terrifying.

Hatred suppresses low-level anomalies;when lower-level anomalies meet Hatred, it’s like they’ve met their natural enemy.

No wonder those pale gray spirits fled.

Other spirits, slightly darker, were also stunned and hesitated.

Two gray spirits, however, seemed further provoked and lunged more frantically.

A Binding Resentment Willow branch wrapped tightly around Chen Ye’s forearm.

Chen Ye flicked his wrist.

He transformed into a streak of cyan smoke and shot upward.

Hatred was reverse-gripped in his right hand, a flash of light following the cyan smoke.

It sliced cleanly through the two spirits like a surgical blade.

Chen Ye felt as if he could even control Hatred to gouge out those two spirits’ eyes.

After Hatred’s upgrade, its killing power against anomalies had increased considerably.

After offering its right eye in sacrifice.

Chen Ye’s control over Hatred had risen several levels.

Even without technique, he could execute precise attack trajectories.

The two gray spirits were cut and dissipated in an instant.

Grayish matter drifted from their bodies and was then absorbed by Hatred’s blade, faint wails lingering in Chen Ye’s ears.

Faces—some filled with loathing, some with resentment, some grotesquely twisted—appeared on the blade…

They seemed like the unwilling souls of those Hatred had slain.

Chen Ye felt that it wouldn’t be long before Hatred awakened its second state—Bitter Wailing!
