Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse
Chapter 196: Large Convoy
According to the convoy's distribution rules, whatever someone obtains belongs to them.
If two or more people are involved, distribution is based on the size of their contributions.
But pathfinders receive preferential treatment;as long as the pathfinder is present, they must receive a share of the supplies.
Therefore, these four guns were split evenly between Chen Ye and Chu Che.
However, the four guns were of varying value, so Chu Che discussed with Chen Ye and divided them into two groups.
The Blasting Star, which had the highest serial number, and the Fatal Sniper, which had the lowest serial number, were grouped together.
The Silent Disappearance and the Corroding Marrow Six Eyes, which ranked in the middle, were grouped together.
As for who wanted which gun later, they could negotiate among themselves.
Chen Ye had no objections to this.
As for the method of division, it was very simple.
Rock-paper-scissors, the winner chooses first.
Best two out of three.
Chu Che won and chose the group containing the Silent Disappearance and the Corroding Marrow Six Eyes.
Chen Ye got the Blasting Star and the Fatal Sniper.
It just so happened that Chu Che was very suited for that Silent Disappearance.
As for the Corroding Marrow Six Eyes, Iron Lion had already started discussing an exchange with Chu Che.
Holding the Blasting Star in his hand, Chen Ye felt a bit of joy in his eyes.
This was his third Wonder.
If his left eye wasn't counted.
The Blood Eye in his left eye could only be considered a reserve Wonder.
He tucked the Blasting Star into his waistband and, holding the Fatal Sniper, looked towards Ding Dong and the Pink-haired Girl.
Chen Ye didn't want the Fatal Sniper either;its price was truly disgusting.
Those who have never had hemorrhoids might not understand.
But for anyone who has had them, it's a lifelong shadow.
It's not just physical discomfort;in this kind of apocalypse, such an ailment can seriously affect combat effectiveness at critical moments.
But that didn't stop this gun from being a good gun. In the right hands, it might unleash lethality far exceeding its serial number.
Chen Ye cast an expectant look at the two of them.
The Pink-haired Girl's face turned as black as ink;if Chen Ye dared to spout nonsense, she would turn hostile the next second.
Chen Ye wisely shifted his gaze to Ding Dong.
Compared to the Pink-haired Girl, Ding Dong was much more mature and wouldn't blush just from hearing certain words.
It was said that Ding Dong had been married before, so her acceptance of certain topics was much higher.
"Sister Ding Dong, how about you take a look at this gun?"
"Anyway, you only have one arm left now. Having a gun on you can boost your combat power, right?"
Ding Dong smiled faintly, shook her head at Chen Ye, and said, "I don't want this gun. If you're willing to bring out the Blasting Star, I'd be willing to trade with you."
Trade for the Blasting Star?
Chen Ye felt he could use this gun himself and would never give it back to Ding Dong.
Chen Ye still wasn't ready to give up. "Sister Ding Dong, hemorrhoids are something that'll happen sooner or later."
"Haven't you heard 'nine out of ten women have hemorrhoids'? I'll give you a discount?"
"Just give me your share of the cigarettes, and a few bags of rice and flour will do!"
Ding Dong stood up and laughed. "I've only heard 'nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids.' Don't set your sights on me. Didn't Captain Chu say we'll meet up with other convoys soon? You can use this gun to trade with them."
Hearing Ding Dong bring up this topic, Chu Che, who had just finished trading with Iron Lion, turned around.
His trade with Iron Lion was quick. Chu Che didn't drive a hard bargain and only symbolically exchanged for some supplies.
Actually, Chu Che wanted to just give the Corroding Marrow Six Eyes to Iron Lion.
But there was no such rule in the convoy. As the captain, he had established fair rules and couldn't break them with his own hands. π³πΏππππ²ππ»ππππ₯.ππ π
"Don't leave yet, there's one more thing to tell everyone!"
"In a few days, we might encounter other convoys. This is a good opportunity to exchange information, and we can also trade unwanted supplies we have with them."
"Squad Leader Chu, how many days is 'a few days'? Are there many people in the other group?"
The Pink-haired Girl asked impatiently.
After being with just these people for a long time, the Pink-haired Girl was already sick of looking at them.
"I don't know the exact time. It could be tomorrow, or it could be ten days from now. It depends on the opportunity!"
"As for whether the other group has many people?"
"This survivor group might be larger than we imagined. According to the message they sent, their convoy should have over a thousand people!"
"Over a thousand? That many?"
Everyone present was stunned.
In such an environment, a thousand people in a world of Anomalies was like a blazing bonfire;anyone who wasn't blind could sense this convoy's presence.
A convoy with over a thousand people was enough to prove that its strength must be quite terrifying.
The more people in a convoy, the stronger the convoy's power.
For example, the Fair Convoy's upper limit was probably just over a hundred people.
Exceeding this limit would drastically increase the chance of being discovered by Anomalies.
Of course, the Fair Convoy rarely had that many people.
Currently, there seemed to be only one way to increase convoy numbers: raising the pathfinder's level.
"Squad Leader Chu, this news of yours..."
"The news is accurate. So, everyone needs to be prepared!"
He then talked about matters regarding meeting this convoy.
Chu Che once again warned Chen Ye not to act rashly.
Chen Ye stated that he had always been well-behaved, and last time was due to special circumstances, mainly because the convoy was extremely short on supplies at the time.
When he left the bonfire area.
The sky outside was already filled with stars.
His ears were filled with the calls of unknown birds and the chirping of insects.
The air in his nostrils was exceptionally fresh.
The lake surface was like a bright mirror, perfectly reflecting the blood moon and stars in the sky.
In the distance, faint points of light flickered on the lake's surface.
Such a wondrous sight, before the apocalypse, would have become a paid attraction in minutes.
The kind where they'd build a tall wall all around the lake.
They wouldn't let you take a glance unless you paid three hundred!
This was the first time Chen Ye felt the blood moon wasn't that terrifying.
Perhaps it was because too much time had passed and he had gotten used to it, or perhaps it was because the scenery at today's campsite was very good.
Chen Ye tossed the Fatal Sniper into the vehicle compartment, tucked the Blasting Star into his waistband, and walked to the lakeside.
Xue Nan brought a chair and placed it behind Chen Ye.
Chen Ye didn't stand on ceremony and sat on the chair facing the bright lake.
Perhaps because the world had changed, the scenery in many places now looked exactly like modeling from anime and games.
Only then did Chen Ye realize that the points of light on the distant lake surface seemed to be butterflies flying over the lake!
He was absolutely certain that such glowing butterflies didn't exist before the apocalypse.
Or rather, butterfly-like creatures.
Chen Ye wasn't sure what they were!
"Wearing sunglasses so late at night, trying to be that cool?"
A familiar young woman's voice came from beside him.
Xue Nan hurriedly brought over another chair and placed it next to Chen Ye.
The young woman disdainfully pulled the chair a bit farther away.
Chen Ye didn't answer her question, just lit a cigarette by himself.
"So late at night, can you even see with those sunglasses on?"
The young woman looked curiously at the sunglasses on Chen Ye's face, even reaching out to take them off.
With the sunglasses removed, Chen Ye's Blood Eye and empty eye socket looked even more horrifying.
The young woman tried on Chen Ye's sunglasses, then very disdainfully tossed them back to him.
Chen Ye said angrily, "Seriously, what kind of person are you? Taking without asking is theft!"
Chen Ye put the sunglasses back on.
As time passed, his left eye was becoming more and more integrated with him.
Lately, whenever he had the chance, Chen Ye would use Supernatural Power to try and achieve a certain frequency of resonance with the Blood Eye.
Although progress was slow, there was finally some advancement.
Wearing these sunglasses, even at night, didn't affect his vision too much.
But his eyesight hadn't improved noticeably.
As for the reason, Chen Ye himself couldn't explain it.
"Sister Fang said you were a good person, what a load of crap?"
The Pink-haired Girl plopped down on the chair beside him, leaned her head against the backrest, and looked at the lake surface and the stars in the sky.
Suddenly, she felt this moment was quite nice too.
"Who is Sister Fang?"
"Sister Fang? She's that pregnant woman you saved before!"
