Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 248: Contract Sequence

With this little interlude, the convoy's atmosphere became much livelier, sweeping away the previous somewhat dejected mood.

The convoy slowly moved forward, without any destination.

No one knew what kind of event or what kind of person they might encounter the next second.

However, the chatter on the walkie-talkie continued intermittently without stopping.

Mainly, this trip to Divine Elephant Village had truly been an eye-opening experience.

The content of the chat also mainly focused on the related sights and experiences from Divine Elephant Village.

"Squad Leader Chu, you're the pathfinder, you're the most sensitive to these things. How could a creature like the Divine Elephant possibly exist before the apocalypse?"

"Even that Great Serpent under Mist River Bridge probably didn't exist either!"

"And then there's Fairy Lake..."

"Is this still the familiar world we knew?"

Chu Che thought for a moment, his voice coming through the walkie-talkie: "Just stop thinking about returning to the original world. The world has already changed!"

"Even if we could return to the cities, life would probably be vastly different!"

"Squad Leader Chu, the Village Chief said some people want to return to the cities. Do you think that's feasible?"

Chu Che didn't speak, instead tossing this topic to Chen Ye.

"Chen Ye, what do you think? Is it doable?"

Chen Ye controlled the steering wheel with one hand, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, sunglasses hanging on the bridge of his nose.

His voice was lazy as he said: "Returning to the cities is inevitable, but it shouldn't be possible right now!"

The Pink-haired Girl's voice immediately came through.

"Why not?"

"The highest known sequence we've encountered so far is that Sequence 4 we met the other day. The strength of Sequence 4 isn't enough!"

"Our strength is growing, but the strength of the Anomalies is also growing. Moreover, in terms of numbers, we are also at a disadvantage!"

"As long as someone really dares to build a city, without exaggeration, the Anomalies within a thousand-mile radius would probably all head there!"

Little Fish's voice also joined the discussion;this little girl seemed somewhat unconvinced.

"Anomalies are terrifying, but Superhumans aren't bad either. We... we will succeed one day."

Chen Ye laughed heartily: "Hahaha, yes, I also believe we will succeed one day!"

"Squad Leader Chu, what's your view?"

Ding Dong's voice also came through.

If it were any other topic, this cold, aloof woman probably wouldn't have much to say.

But she was very interested in this topic.

Chu Che pondered for a moment before saying: "I agree with Chen Ye's view. It's not feasible at present! Even with more people, it would be very difficult to reclaim the cities."

"By the way, Squad Leader Chu, do you all still remember those Eighteen Grandpas? What method did that old man use to make those anomaly-symbiosis Superhumans, who were contaminated by Anomalies, listen to him?"

The Pink-haired Girl raised a question.

"It's a contract!"

Chu Che actually knew the answer to this question;he had specifically asked Chen Yonggu about it.

Chen Yonggu hadn't hidden it from him at the time, telling Chu Che the reason in full detail.

"What do you mean?"

"It's an ability of Contract Sequence Superhumans. They can provide a blank contract, the contents of which can be filled in according to the user's needs, and then the contract is signed."

"Once the contract is established, it cannot be violated, otherwise punishment will be received!"

"Previously, they encountered a convoy that had this kind of Contract Superhuman. He exchanged quite a few!"

"Such contracts probably aren't cheap, right?"

"Of course, that's also one of the reasons why Divine Elephant Village lacks everything!"

"Contract Sequence Superhumans? That sounds a bit strange..."

"A very miraculous sequence. According to the old man, Superhumans of this sequence, at Sequence 1, can choose one thing to sign a contract with. Once the contract succeeds, this thing can directly become a Wonder. It's very miraculous."

"Hiss... Just signing a contract can turn it into a Wonder? That amazing? Can it be living things or inanimate objects?"

Chen Ye was also somewhat stunned hearing this.

Just signing a contract to obtain a Wonder, wouldn't that be godlike?

It wasn't easy for him to obtain a Wonder either.

It might seem like you just need to level up to get a Wonder.

But Slaughter Points are hard to come by.

Every time he obtains Slaughter Points, the process is accompanied by the danger of death at any moment.

And the other party just needs to sign a contract to get one?

Doesn't that mean Wonders will become rampant in the future?

"Listening to the Village Chief old man, yes, both living and inanimate objects, even electronic products. But it's not as outrageous as you think;there are also limitations. Most Contract Sequence Superhumans can only sign one contract during the Sequence 1 stage."

"Moreover, the serial number ranking of the Wonder they initially obtain through signing a contract won't be very high."

"So you don't need to worry."

"In this world, no sequence is invincible. Each sequence has its own strengths and its own limitations!"

Hearing Chu Che gradually relay the information he heard from the Village Chief to his teammates.

Chen Ye drove with one hand, maintaining a steady speed.

Light rain fell on the roof of the car, creating a wonderful white noise.

For a moment, it was surprisingly harmonious.

The convoy slowly advanced on the road.

Chen Ye had an illusion, feeling like he could drive all the way to the end of the world.

Suddenly, the car at the very front began to slow down and finally came to a complete stop.

Chen Ye saw a large tree lying across the road ahead.

This tree was huge, its diameter roughly over ten meters.

It had directly crushed the entire road surface, lying horizontally across it.

The trunk extended far to both sides, only dense branches visible.

The bark was already damp from the light rain.

Where the trunk contacted the ground, some aerial roots had already grown, connecting the trunk to the soil.

Chen Ye instinctively became alert.

Being inherently suspicious, whenever he saw anything slightly unusual, his first instinct was to be suspicious.

Those who were careless and reckless had long since died out.

In the face of this apocalypse.

They were as green as raw recruits.

Picking up the walkie-talkie, he directly asked: "Squad Leader Chu..."

Chu Che's words immediately came back: "I don't sense any Anomaly aura!"

"Could it really just be a tree?"

"A tree this big, we've never seen anything like it before!"

The few of them discussed for a while.

The final result was for Chen Ye to use his Smoke Breath to simulate a scout and go check it out.

A mouthful of smoke breath exhaled, a human-shaped smoke figure swayed unsteadily as it approached.

All vehicles in the convoy were prepared for any sudden change.

The Pink-haired Girl was ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Ding Dong got out of the car and stood by the vehicle, having Zhou Xiaoxiao reverse the car a few parking spaces back to facilitate a quick escape if needed.

Chen Ye had already shifted his car into reverse.

All vehicles kept their engines running, ready to act at any moment.

The simulated human figure circled around the front and back several times.

Chen Ye even had the simulated human figure knock on the tree trunk, but nothing happened.

"Let me try!"

The Pink-haired Girl's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

A flying sword directly shot out from that driverless off-road vehicle, carrying sharp sword light, hovering in front of the large tree.

Before Chen Ye could react.

The flying sword instantly transformed into countless sword beams that blasted towards the thick tree trunk.

Countless wood chips exploded in an instant.

But just at that moment.

The large tree suddenly erupted with an extremely shrill, miserable scream.

Along with a large amount of splashing blood.

Everyone was simultaneously startled.

Chen Ye immediately exhaled a mouthful of smoke breath, directly simulating a huge sloping surface to block all the wood chips and blood.

At the same time, the Death God broke free from within the smoke.

Hatred was also gripped in hand.

Stepping on the gas pedal, the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck's tires rubbed against the ground, producing large plumes of smoke as the entire vehicle frantically reversed.

It directly retreated several dozen meters.

Reacting the same as Chen Ye was Squad Leader Chu Che, Captain Chu.

The reactions of these two vehicles were frighteningly fast, almost simultaneous, indistinguishable in timing.

As for the other few vehicles, they remained in place.

Only Iron Lion hadn't woken up from beginning to end.

This guy clearly had extreme trust in his teammates.

The shrill scream lasted about ten seconds or so.

Only then did it gradually subside.

The Pink-haired Girl looked with a dark expression at the two vehicles that had retreated far away.

Seriously, how could these two be such cowards?

Ding Dong was also speechless.

Little Fish stuck her head out the car window, a cocky expression of disdain on her face!
