Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse

Next came the free trading time.

Besides cigarettes, Chen Ye took out everything he could trade, including quite a lot of food.

The others did the same.

However, everyone wasn't particularly interested in their convoy teammates' stuff, because they all knew exactly what each other had.

Instead, they were very interested in the items possessed by the two Superhumans from Divine Elephant Village.

The Slovenly Daoist Priest had many talisman papers laid out in front of him.

There were also a few things like peach wood swords and other evil-warding items.

It all looked like propaganda for feudal superstition.

If this were before the apocalypse, this would definitely be the kind of thing that would get you busted immediately.

Chen Ye looked at the items on the Slovenly Daoist Priest's stall, feeling somewhat curious.

Back at the very beginning, Chen Ye had also consulted the System on how to deal with Anomalies.

The method the System gave at the time was black dog blood.

Chu Che had even specifically adopted the two dogs kept by survivors, precisely to collect black dog blood.

It was just that during the countless escapes later on, those two black dogs had long since disappeared without a trace.

And that minor evil-warding effect of black dog blood had long been obsolete.

This stall in front of him not only had black dog blood, but even salt, garlic, and even crosses.

Everything you could think of, this stall had it all.

Standing nearby was also the Pink-haired Girl.

This woman was also very curious about the things on the stall.

Since the two of them were standing somewhat close, Chen Ye could even smell the youthful scent on the Pink-haired Girl.

Alright, damn, how long has it been since she took a bath?

And I can still smell this?

Could it be...

Ahem...

Think about something else!

"Cleaning Talisman! This thing... is it really useful?"

Chen Ye picked up a talisman paper, saw the crooked, messy characters on it, and felt a moment of doubt.

"Cleaning Talisman, literal meaning."

"It's like taking a bath, but the cleaning effect is much stronger than bathing!"

At some point, the Slovenly Daoist Priest flashed into view in front of them.

It was just that the Slovenly Daoist Priest's face and head now had several lipstick marks on them.

The Pink-haired Girl looked utterly disgusted.

Who would have thought that when the Slovenly Daoist Priest saw her, he also looked utterly disgusted.

"This thing of yours..."

After understanding the function of the Cleaning Talisman, Chen Ye suddenly felt his whole body start to itch a bit.

If a person doesn't bathe for a long time, besides the initial discomfort, they slowly enter a comfort zone.

At that point, they feel that bathing or not bathing is pretty much the same.

But if someone then mentions "taking a bath" or "cleaning" in your ear.

Just mentioning it will make you feel uncomfortable all over, wishing you could immediately, right now, take a proper bath.

And right now, Chen Ye was in exactly that stage.

If he hadn't seen this Cleaning Talisman, Chen Ye felt he could have held out for at least another six months.

After all, he had just drawn water and washed at Fairy Lake.

The Pink-haired Girl next to him was even more exaggerated.

After learning the function of the Cleaning Talisman, the Pink-haired Girl's gaze never left the Cleaning Talisman in Chen Ye's hand.

No girl would be indifferent to the effect of a Cleaning Talisman.

"Daoist Priest, how do you trade for this thing?"

The Daoist Priest glanced at the Pink-haired Girl and said indifferently, "Not expensive, just one jin of rice or flour will do!"

"One jin of rice? Why don't you just rob someone?"

The Pink-haired Girl was furious.

What followed was the Pink-haired Girl haggling with the Slovenly Daoist Priest.

The final price was one pack of expired Old Altar Pickled Vegetables for one Cleaning Talisman.

Of course, if it was close to the expiration date, you could get two.

Chen Ye didn't know how many the Pink-haired Girl exchanged for.

But Chen Ye exchanged for two.

According to the Daoist Priest, you just need to channel a bit of Supernatural Power to activate the Cleaning Talisman's effect.

The Cleaning Talisman could not only clean the body, but even the clothes on your body could be cleaned thoroughly.

For this, Chen Ye put on the down jacket he wore in Rong City.

You should know, after being in Rong City for so long, this down jacket was almost bursting with grime.

He also wore several pairs of socks on his feet, and those stinky snow boots.

The Cleaning Talisman transformed into a gentle breeze that swirled around Chen Ye.

Chen Ye instantly felt a sensation like a spring breeze caressing his face, feeling a very gentle energy sweep over every part of his body from head to toe.

Even the dirt in his hair, the black grime under his fingernails, and the oily shine on his face were all swept away by this gentle energy in an instant.

It only took about half a minute.

Chen Ye felt as if he had undergone a comprehensive, all-around cleaning.

Even his clothes carried a faint, fresh scent.

Chen Ye felt he had never been this clean in his life.

The Pink-haired Girl, who had been watching all this happen next to him, looked at Chen Ye's now clean face and suddenly felt Chen Ye was actually quite pleasant to look at.

With Chen Ye as the test subject.

The Pink-haired Girl exchanged for several more Cleaning Talismans.

This time, even Ding Dong was attracted over.

The Daoist Priest's Cleaning Talismans sold like hotcakes for a while, exchanging for quite a lot of supplies.

Although the Daoist Priest still didn't think much of the Pink-haired Girl, the expression on his face became much more amiable.

Xue Nan, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and other ordinary people who saw all this from not far away were also burning with envy for a moment.

Even Chen Ye exchanged for several more.

Even if he didn't use this stuff himself, it would be excellent currency for trading with other convoys in the future.

Next time he encountered other convoys, specifically selling to those Sequence Superpower users who loved cleanliness, getting ten packs of instant noodles for free per Cleaning Talisman wasn't impossible.

The Daoist Priest's stall soon accumulated many different kinds of food.

There were expired instant noodles, expired small bread rolls, expired biscuits, and expired Snickers.

The Daoist Priest smiled so hard his eyes disappeared into slits.

A young man hurried over to collect these things.

Chen Ye also threw his newly cleaned clothes into the car;this kind of weather was not the time to wear so much.

"Gentlemen, ladies, I still have other talismans here, Thunder Summoning Talismans, specially effective against soul-type Anomalies. You haven't encountered soul-type Anomalies, have you! They're very troublesome!"

"Just three packs of instant noodles will do, or those oddly flavored biscuits work too! White Rabbit milk candies can also be exchanged!"

"And Five Thunder Talismans, if it weren't for these Five Thunder Talismans, I wouldn't have been able to get out of Fog City!"

"The upgraded version of the Thunder Summoning Talisman, very powerful against Anomalies." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Neither the Thunder Summoning Talismans nor the Five Thunder Talismans sparked any shopping desire among the few.

Whether it was Chen Ye, the Pink-haired Girl, or Iron Lion, they all had their own abilities.

Five Thunder Talismans weren't urgently needed.

And this Daoist Priest only wanted food in exchange.

If it were something else, everyone might have exchanged for a bit.

But trading with food, forget it.

"Now now now... there's also this Evil-Dispelling Talisman. Ordinary weapons can't harm Anomalies, but with the Evil-Dispelling Talisman it's different. Just stick the Evil-Dispelling Talisman onto a weapon, and it will maintain its lethality against Anomalies for two hours. Even ordinary people can use it."

The few of them looked at the talisman papers on the Daoist Priest's stall.

For a moment, they also felt a lack of interest.

This Evil-Dispelling Talisman was somewhat useless.

"Peach wood sword, one of the specialties of the Celestial Master Sequence. Wards off evil and dispels malevolent energy. How about it? Mr. Chen, do you have a woman you like? Buy one to give to her, at least it can be used for self-defense, right?"

The Slovenly Daoist Priest was still promoting his goods.

Hearing the Slovenly Daoist Priest say this, the Pink-haired Girl glanced at Chen Ye as if it were nothing, then looked back at the other items.

"Is this all you have?"

Chen Ye didn't answer the Slovenly Daoist Priest's question about "whether he had a woman he liked," instead shifting his gaze to the other things.

"This... how about this Eight Trigrams Mirror? Although it can't be considered a Wonder, it can still ward off evil, and also..."

Chen Ye shook his head and turned to go to the Monk's side.

The Pink-haired Girl pointed at that peach wood sword and asked, "Can your peach wood sword cause damage to Anomalies?"

Chen Ye had left, and the Daoist Priest momentarily lost his enthusiasm. He just slumped into the chair behind his stall and said listlessly:

"It can, but it's very limited!"

"The peach wood sword, I'll take it!"

The Pink-haired Girl said with absolute certainty.
