Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse
Chapter 519: This Convoy... Is Very Different!
This time, the convoy chose a roadside unfinished building as their camping spot.
These unfinished buildings were very common before the apocalypse.
Of course, there were even more after the apocalypse.
Often, in a remote place with few people, you'd see a lone unfinished building with only its frame standing.
They chose this spot mainly because it was convenient for setting up tents and camping.
This place was sparsely populated, and who knew what the boss who planned to build a building here had been thinking back then.
Usually, these unfinished buildings stood unchanged for decades.
There were no signs of construction activity nearby either.
Anyway, the Fair Convoy got lucky this time.
The survivors of the convoy tidied up the unfinished building a bit, and it became a perfect migration camping spot.
At least they didn't have to worry about things like rain.
The survivors also made use of the construction materials.
They picked up bricks and wooden planks from the rubble and set them up on the windward side.
It helped block the wind a bit.
Since it was already winter, there was no shortage of firewood.
The convoy's nearly one hundred people worked together and quickly cleaned out all the dead grass and branches around.
Faint yellow firelight flickered on the first, second, and third floors.
Even the fourth floor was no exception.
After Chen Ye finished upgrading the vehicle, he returned to the fourth floor.
The first three floors were where the ordinary survivors of the convoy lived.
The fourth floor was where the superhumans stayed.
After spending a long time living in vehicles, now that they had a building to stay in, of course, they'd choose the building.
Chu Che and the others had set up their tents here too.
If they weren't heading to Xi City, this place would be a decent camping spot for resting over the next half month.
At least it had a bit of a civilized vibe.
In the two years since the apocalypse, encounters with other convoys in the wilderness could be counted on one hand.
As soon as Chen Ye returned, he heard Chu Che mention news of another convoy approaching.
The moment the convoy heard about the arrival of another convoy, the atmosphere immediately grew tense.
Even the ordinary survivors on the first three floors became much noisier.
Everyone knew that running into another convoy in the wilderness wasn't always a good thing.
The convoy's several superhumans stood at the edge of the fourth floor, looking at a long string of lights in the distance.
Sure enough, just as Captain Chu had said, a convoy was slowly approaching.
But the convoy was stretched out quite a bit.
And the lights in the convoy swayed unsteadily.
They looked a bit different from vehicle headlights.
Several veteran members of the convoy subtly cast their gazes toward Chen Ye.
Even Sun Xixi, Chu Che, and Iron Lion all looked at Chen Ye.
Chen Ye's face darkened, and he said indignantly, "Why the hell are you all looking at me!"
Chu Che said seriously, "Yezi, if you want to make a move, just let me know!"
Chen Ye's face grew even darker. Wasn't this just reminding everyone of his dark past?
"Am I really that kind of person?"
Before Chen Ye could say anything else, everyone else nodded in agreement.
Chu Che nodded earnestly too and said, "It's best not to make a move. There really aren't many humans left."
"Look, we've been migrating for two years now. How many convoys have we even run into?"
"Humanity is dwindling, while the anomalies grow stronger by the day!"
"You can't possibly be the only one left alive in the end, can you!"
Clearly, Chu Che's rambling fully showed that this guy was treating Chen Ye like a dangerous element.
Chen Ye: "Damn..."
On the other hand, Gong Yong looked completely bewildered, glancing at Chen Ye, then at the others.
Obviously, the new guy had no idea about Chen Ye's dark history!
Xu Lina stood behind Chen Ye, looking like a dutiful little wife who followed his lead.
But this woman was smart; she wore a mask to cover her face and had a baseball cap on her head.
Still, her figure was ridiculously proportioned, and even so, it couldn't stop the occasional stunning glances thrown her way.
Luckily, she knew to stand close to Chen Ye.
The cold aura around Chen Ye gave off a "don't mess with me" vibe.
It kind of protected her invisibly.
The bonfire burning in the middle of the fourth floor flickered constantly.
Crackling sounds came from the fire from time to time.
The few of them stood at the edge of the fourth floor, watching the convoy slowly approaching in the distance.
It was quite far away, and the sky was dim.
They couldn't make out the situation of the convoy clearly for now.
However, this convoy was really slow.
It looked like an old oxcart moving sluggishly.
It had been a while, but they'd probably only covered a tiny distance.
Those swaying lights stretched out long.
"Is this convoy a bit too slow?"
Chen Ye couldn't help but remark.
"Yeah, yeah... it is a bit slow!"
To Chen Ye's surprise, it was actually Gong Yong who responded.
This guy seemed to realize he'd dared to respond to Chen Ye and quickly lowered his head.
Then, seeing that Chen Ye didn't seem angry, he felt a little pleased inside.
So, emboldened, he continued, "They're too far away; we can only see the lights!"
"Maybe this convoy's means of transport isn't vehicles—could be horse-drawn carts or oxcarts!"
"In the apocalypse, finding fuel isn't that easy!"
"Like before, we almost couldn't make it back because we ran out of fuel!"
"So, some people taking a different approach isn't impossible!"
Gong Yong made this analysis.
Everyone nodded.
Gong Yong felt a little pleased inside.
Probably because his guess was acknowledged by the group, giving him a sense of satisfaction.
Just as he was about to continue analyzing, he saw Chen Ye wave his hand impatiently and say, "Shut up!"
The words Gong Yong was about to say got choked back.
He then sullenly closed his mouth, cursing Chen Ye eight hundred times in his mind.
Damn it, if I wasn't no match for you!
If you didn't look so fierce!
I'd totally throw down with you today.
Chen Ye, one day, I swear I'll beat your damn head in.
The convoy slowly approached.
Only then did everyone see it clearly.
This convoy...
Was very different!
