Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse

Seeing Iron Lion piling up more and more bones in front of him, if he didn't start eating soon, there might not be any left for him.

Chen Ye muttered, "Hope he doesn't choke to death!"

Chu Che added from the side, "Iron Lion, slow down, no one's competing with you. There's plenty more."

This guy was eating too fast. Whether the meat was poisonous or not remained unknown, but by the time any toxicity might show, this guy would probably have devoured all the meat.

Iron Lion turned his head with a grin, "Captain, you got it wrong again - I'm Mad Lion! After this meal, that other guy should be back soon, and then I'll switch back!"

"What, you guys don't like meat?"

"If you don't want it, give it to me!"

After saying this, he took all the meat from Chen Ye and Chu Che's plates and piled it onto his own.

Chen Ye and Chu Che exchanged glances but said nothing.

After waiting about half an hour, the several of them remained perfectly fine, showing no signs of poisoning or similar issues.

Only then did Chen Ye and Chu Che start eating.

A huge pile of bones had already accumulated in front of Mad Lion, yet he continued devouring meat ravenously.

You had to admit this guy had an incredible appetite.

Even after eating so much, he showed no signs of getting tired of it.

Two survivors were specifically assigned to grill meat for him.

Sometimes he didn't even care if the meat was fully cooked or still had blood streaks - he'd just toss it into his big mouth and spit out only the bones.

His practiced movements were almost enviable.

"Can't compare to the Titan Sequence! Let's eat, should be fine!"

Chu Che said from the side.

Only then did the two cautious ones start eating slowly.

An adult camel weighs about five hundred kilograms, and this one had been carefully cultivated through the Breeder Sequence, making it even larger, probably reaching six to seven hundred kilograms.

Every edible part was utilized without waste.

In this era of extreme resource scarcity, any waste was shameful.

Tonight, almost all survivors got to eat meat.

Earlier, some had opposed Chu Che slaughtering the camel, but now there were no dissenting voices.

Even Ding Dong, the newly joined Sequence Superpower user, ate quite a bit.

Chen Ye put the meat in his mouth, and a unique aroma exploded on his tongue.

There was no gamey smell, instead it had a slight sweetness.

Chen Ye didn't know if camel meat originally tasted like this.

But this was the flavor he tasted now, and it was delicious.

Chen Ye understood why this sequence wasn't called Beast Tamer Sequence but rather Breeder Sequence.

After eating until their bellies were round and full, several people sprawled on the sand dune, rubbing their stomachs before finally stopping.

Amid the swirling smoke, they suddenly felt like the apocalypse wasn't so bad after all.

At least they could enjoy such delicious food.

Captain Chu had already brought out a tea set and was starting to prepare it nearby.

Since the convoy had new members joining today, Captain Chu planned to bring out his good tea as hospitality, serving as a welcome ceremony.

The pink-haired girl's eyes sparkled, "Captain Chu, you're being so generous today?"

Seeing her reaction, Chu Che's face darkened, "You brat, haven't you drunk plenty of my tea already?"

"Hehe... Ding Dong, let me tell you, Captain Chu's tea isn't something everyone gets to drink. Today we're benefiting from your presence."

Chen Ye also sat over with a smile.

It was getting increasingly difficult to get Chu Che's tea these days.

Every day when drinking tea, this guy would shut himself in his tent and drink alone secretly.

After eating so much meat, holding a cup of fragrant, steaming tea in hand, just smelling the aroma was refreshing and uplifting.

Before the apocalypse, this kind of lifestyle might have seemed ordinary to everyone.

It might even have been a basic after-meal activity for many people.

But this was precisely the apocalypse, and in the desert no less, making it feel exceptionally precious!

Only Mad Lion was still crazily eating meat; he didn't seem interested in activities like tea drinking.

"Ahhh..."

"Fragrant!"

"Excellent tea!"

The several of them couldn't bear to swallow the aromatic tea once they had it in their mouths.

Each of the three had a different expression.

"By the way, Yezi, I saw Old Zhangtou staying back with you earlier, but I only saw you return - where is he?"

Chu Che put down his cup and asked.

Earlier during the escape, Chu Che had suddenly sensed an additional anomalous presence behind them.

This anomalous presence seemed to have appeared suddenly; he had never detected it before.

This matter had stayed on Chu Che's mind.

Now that they were well-fed and content, Chu Che finally found the opportunity to ask.

Ding Dong had just joined the convoy and wasn't familiar with the situation, looking somewhat confused.

The pink-haired girl quietly explained everything to Ding Dong.

Ding Dong also listened with a serious expression.

"Didn't you all think there was something off about that old man before too?"

Instead of answering, Chen Ye asked Chu Che and the pink-haired girl.

Chu Che remained silent, but the pink-haired girl nodded.

"Only a fool wouldn't see there's something wrong with that old man. Just with that low-speed electric vehicle, so many people died along the way, yet he's the only one who survived."

"We thought you would test that old man, but we didn't expect you never made a move!"

As she spoke further, the pink-haired girl's voice grew softer, as if feeling somewhat guilty.

Hearing this, Chen Ye felt his breath catch.

So everyone had noticed, but no one said anything, just waiting for him to foolishly test the waters.

Indeed, no one who survived the apocalypse was stupid.

"You... none of you are any good!"

Chen Ye was furious!

"And you have the nerve to say that about us?"

The pink-haired girl protested defiantly.

"Captain Chu, I have to call you out on this - we had such an anomaly hidden in our convoy, and you didn't know?"

"That old man was an anomaly?"

This news made all three present shudder.

"The hunchbacked old puppet from Longevity Village..."

Chen Ye began recounting what had just happened.

After listening to Chen Ye's account, everyone fell silent.

Especially the pink-haired girl and Chu Che, who had been to Longevity Village and knew about the hunchbacked old puppet's strangeness.

Who would have thought that hunchbacked old puppet had been in their convoy all along.

Ding Dong simply found it terrifying, without the deeper understanding the others had.

Chu Che drank a cup of tea before slowly saying, "That hunchbacked old puppet might not actually be an anomaly!"

"How so?"

"From what I know, this should be the Symbiosis Sequence?"

Another new sequence.

Chu Che had mentioned before that there were over a hundred types of Sequence Superpowers, but who knew there was this kind too!

"Symbiosis Sequence? Does it mean symbiosis with anomalies?"

The pink-haired girl tilted her head, light sparkling in her eyes.

"You all know about Sequence Serums, right?"

"Captain, stop beating around the bush and just tell us!"

Chen Ye interrupted bluntly.

"Using Sequence Serum can awaken Sequence Superpowers, but not everyone succeeds one hundred percent."

"Some people who use the serum can't withstand the transformation by supernatural power and die directly; some get directly corrupted by supernatural power and become anomalies."

"Others manage to survive by luck but fail to awaken, though their bodies undergo transformation by supernatural power."

"These people's bodies have become clearly different from ordinary people in all aspects."

"To obtain powerful strength, these people often choose to enter symbiosis with anomalies, thereby gaining powerful abilities."

"Therefore, we call these people the Symbiosis Sequence."

"Each Symbiosis Sequence's abilities differ, making it the most mysterious and anomalous sequence!"

Hearing this, everyone held their breath, digesting Chu Che's words.

Chen Ye remembered the hunchbacked old puppet's appearance - that old man was definitely from the Symbiosis Sequence, no doubt about it.

"Of course, Symbiosis Sequence superhumans don't only choose symbiosis with anomalies; some even choose symbiosis with Wonders."

"This type of Symbiosis Sequence generally has two states - one is the ordinary human state, the other is the anomalous state."

"In the ordinary human state, if you don't observe carefully and they don't actively display power, they're quite similar to us ordinary people."

"That's probably why I never detected it before."
