Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse

Chapter 537: News

The man before them was incredibly thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

Fear and greed were hidden deep in his eyes.

He was like a hyena that had been starving for a long time, seemingly always waiting for a grand feast, and also seemingly always ready to flee.

Perhaps because he was so thin, the man's eyes appeared very large.

"The Shepherd Convoy doesn't live like humans at all."

"They eat meat themselves and won't even give us a single sip of the soup!"

"They make us call them 'My Lord!'"

"This is completely the dregs of the feudal class system!"

"They don't treat us like people!"

"And also…"

Blah blah blah…

The man's speech had no logic to it; he said whatever came to mind, one sentence at a time.

According to him.

The Shepherd Convoy operated on a class system.

Within the entire convoy, Superhumans were the highest rank.

Next came the convoy's managers, similar to Xue Nan and their kind.

And finally, there were the ordinary survivors at the very bottom.

Of course, this framework looked somewhat similar to the Fair Convoy.

But the ordinary survivors at the bottom had no right to own property or supplies.

All their supplies had to be handed over.

This was indeed different from the Fair Convoy.

The Fair Convoy allowed ordinary people to keep a portion of their supplies.

Furthermore, although the Fair Convoy didn't have an explicit class system.

There were actually invisible rules within the convoy too.

Just like the Shepherd Convoy.

They just weren't openly stated.

In the Shepherd Convoy, ordinary people had a series of rules when dealing with Superhumans.

For example, they had to address Superhumans as "My Lord."

They also had to bow when encountering a Superhuman.

They couldn't walk on the same path as a Superhuman; if they met one, they had to let the Superhuman go first.

According to this man, the Superhumans of the Shepherd Convoy had the power of life and death over ordinary people.

That was literally what he meant.

"Honored lords, you don't understand. My brother, just because he stole a tiny bit of food, they tied him to an ox's horn."

"Later, he was eaten by those beasts!"

"My brother was nearly starving to death at the time, but the stuff they gave wasn't nearly enough to eat."

"Those beasts, those bastards, those sons of bitches…"

Even in the Fair Convoy, people sometimes stole food.

Many times, there were also situations where the convoy's resources were tight.

For those caught stealing food, as long as it wasn't too serious, they'd just get a lecture and a beating.

Who could blame them, when the Fair Convoy had a captain who worried about the whole world?

"And those people you saw earlier, actually, they hadn't committed any major offenses!"

"That Da Zhu, he just hid a sausage when he was out gathering supplies!"

"And Xiao Liu, all he did was talk back to that crazy woman!"

"Actually… these were all very minor things!"

"But they… they killed every single one of them… and fed them to those sheep with sharp teeth…"

"Wah…"

The man shook as he spoke.

It seemed he had thought of something truly terrifying.

Chen Ye was righteous and indignant: "That woman really is no good! Squad Leader Chu, how about we take them out!"

Chu Che shot a cold glance at Chen Ye. "Not that I'm aware of. Since when did our Great Benefactor Chen become so compassionate?"

Chen Ye: "Hey, isn't this because I've been influenced by you all? Can't a person change for the better?"

Chu Che: "I know exactly what you're thinking. I advise you to drop that idea."

Chen Ye felt sheepish.

Chu Che guessed right. Chen Ye was still eyeing their supplies.

Next, the man began to talk about what he knew regarding the Shepherd Convoy.

The Shepherd Convoy was indeed not as simple as it seemed.

The sheep that had been following the convoy were divided into two types.

One was the ordinary sheep that Chen Ye hadn't gotten to eat.

These sheep were raised by that Breeder Sequence user as a meat supplement for the convoy.

This type was the most numerous. According to him, there were several dozen.

Moreover, that Breeder had his own secret method that allowed these sheep to grow quickly and reproduce rapidly.

Of course, these sheep weren't the improved breed like the meatworms.

They were just cultivated using the Breeder's special Supernatural Power.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be able to maintain such a large flock.

The other type was the kind Chen Ye had seen before.

Although these sheep had the appearance of sheep, they were essentially no different from ferocious beasts.

These creatures were fierce, aggressive, and loved eating raw meat.

Moreover, their sense of smell was extremely keen, better than a dog's nose.

And they only obeyed the Breeder's commands.

Then there were the three Giant Oxen in the convoy.

According to this man, these three oxen hadn't been this big at first; they were about the size of ordinary water buffalo.

That was also the doing of that Breeder Sequence user.

Those three oxen just kept getting bigger and bigger.

He had once seen those three oxen each take on three large-sized Anomalies, and they didn't lose at all.

Then there were those wild wolves lurking in the convoy's grass.

How many there were exactly, he didn't know either.

Those wolves moved like ghosts, following the convoy like shadows.

They only showed up when trouble arose.

Moreover, this man had even seen a two-headed wolf appear within the convoy.

The man's subsequent words also confirmed Chen Ye's earlier speculations.

That woman named Jiang Rou, her red backless cheongsam minidress was a Wonder, and so were the sword and crystal high heels.

When fighting, that red backless cheongsam minidress could transform into a suit of red armor.

Possessing extraordinary defensive power.

Also, that woman had once punched a mutated Anomaly to pieces with one blow.

This caught Chen Ye off guard.

Seeing that the woman always carried a sword on her back, he thought her swordsmanship was formidable. He hadn't expected her fists to be just as ruthless!

Chen Ye silently made a mental note.

After the man had completely sold out the Shepherd Convoy.

Xue Nan led him away.

Xue Nan instructed the man that the day after tomorrow should be when the two convoys went their separate ways.

He told him to just hide then, and leave the rest of the arrangements to him.

The man thanked him profusely and left.

The next day, Gong Yong was still modifying the Shepherd Convoy's vehicles.

As the sun began to set.

Gong Yong finally finished all the work.

After finishing, Gong Yong went straight back to the convoy and didn't show his face.

He was probably afraid that the Shepherd Convoy's Superhumans would seek revenge on him.

But he was obviously overthinking it.

Although he had been a bit difficult, his work was genuinely good.

Therefore, those minor frictions weren't taken seriously by the Shepherd Convoy's people.

The Shepherd Convoy also handed over the payment to Chu Che as previously agreed.

The two convoys, after a night of mutual vigilance, had finally reached the time to part ways.
