Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse

Chapter 660: Turning a Personal Problem Into Everyone's Problem

"Hey, are you planning to just take this on yourself?"

"Ah!?"

"I'm talking about the Haosheng Hotel. Are you just going to lock it down and call it done?"

Chen Ye saw Chu Che staring blankly, seemingly lost in thought, and couldn't help speaking up to drag Chu Che back to the topic of Haosheng Hotel.

Chu Che recalled the matter of Haosheng Hotel.

Right, lockdown. How the hell do you lock it down?

His own convoy had only a few dozen people, and they were all ordinary folks. Locking down Haosheng Hotel was nearly impossible.

Chu Che's eyes darted slightly, and then he let out a sly chuckle.

He pondered for a moment and said, "This matter, well, it happened on Sunset Avenue, but it's still within Xi City's territory!"

"We can't bear this burden alone!"

"If we're going to carry it, let everyone carry it together. Xi City isn't ours alone—it belongs to everyone!"

Earlier, Chen Ye had shoved the Haosheng Hotel problem onto Chu Che, and Chu Che had no choice but to accept it.

Chen Ye was right—who else but the captain would handle it?

But now, Chu Che planned to pass this massive headache of Haosheng Hotel onto the Silent Council and all the superhumans.

After all, everyone intended to make Xi City the first settlement for their future.

Since he couldn't solve this problem himself...

Then he'd turn it into everyone's problem.

Chen Ye gave Chu Che a thumbs-up. "As expected from Squad Leader Chu—no one beats you at being a crafty old fox!"

Chu Che retorted without holding back. "And you weren't thinking the same thing? If you ask me, your ideas are probably way dirtier than mine!"

Chen Ye quickly denied it. "I never..."

Actually, Chen Ye did have an idea, but it was too underhanded. He wouldn't pull it out unless absolutely necessary.

The two of them briefly wrapped up their discussion on the Haosheng Hotel matter.

They also talked about Ding Dong's situation in the convoy going forward.

If Ding Dong, who had lost both arms, was just an ordinary person, the best course of action right now would be to end it herself.

But Ding Dong was a superhuman who had contributed to the convoy, so she naturally couldn't be abandoned outright.

If they really did that, Chen Ye would probably carry a grudge in his heart.

After a brief discussion, they ultimately decided to let Ding Dong stay with the convoy and focus on tending to the Ideal Grain Seeds.

From now on, she wouldn't participate in going out to gather supplies or fight anomalies.

"Anyway, planting Ideal Grain Seeds is also her dream. She probably won't object to this!"

"Yeah, come to think of it, Ding Dong has been taking great care of those Ideal Grain Seeds. It's a shame she's a Fist Master Sequence and not a Botanist Sequence. Yawn..."

The two chatted idly, half-heartedly.

Chen Ye was still full of energy, while Chu Che kept yawning.

Just as they were about to part ways and head back to sleep...

Chu Che suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right. I heard you've been trying to boost your credit score with Hou Junji?"

"Are you planning to make one last big grab, and then when Xi City collapses, you won't have to pay it back?"

The topic shift was so abrupt that Chen Ye didn't react in time.

Chen Ye blurted out, "How did you know..."

Mid-sentence, Chen Ye suddenly snapped back to reality.

Damn it. He had just returned from Xi City and was way too relaxed. For a moment, he let his guard down and fell right into that bastard Chu Che's trap.

Chen Ye quickly denied it. "Captain Chu, why is your mind so dirty? This is a normal business transaction, perfectly normal..."

"Don't you know what kind of person I am? How could I possibly be someone who borrows money and doesn't pay it back?"

"You're slandering me..."

Chu Che waved his hand lazily. "Stop putting on an act in front of me. Don't I know you well enough by now?"

Chen Ye's eyes darted, and suddenly he let out a sly grin that made Chu Che's hair stand on end.

"Captain Chu, you..."

Captain Chu quickly stood up. "Yawn... it's getting late. I still have to deal with the Post-Apocalyptic Opera Troupe and Skeleton Convoy's bickering tomorrow. Going to sleep now..."

"You should get some rest too. I'm way too tired!"

"Yawn..."

With that, Chu Che hurried out of the main tent.

As he walked, he muttered under his breath.

This was the downside of living together for so long. Everyone was too familiar with each other. A single glance between them, and they could guess what the other was thinking.

Chen Ye watched Chu Che's staggering figure and silently sneered in his heart.

He probably was up to the same thing as him.

They were both planning to squeeze one last big payout from the Silent Council.

As Chen Ye and Chu Che left, only then did some survivors slip into the main tent carrying their filthy bedding.

This big tent was the most frequently used item in the Fair Convoy.

During the day, it blocked the scorching sun and the sea breeze.

At night, it provided a place for everyone to rest.

Truth be told, survivors could also sleep in their own vehicles.

But space in the vehicles was limited—nothing compared to the spacious tent.

The New Year had already passed, and the weather was gradually warming up.

Even if they didn't sleep in the vehicles, as long as they kept warm, sleeping in this big tent at night was fine.

However, the priority for using this tent always went to the superhumans first.

Only after the superhumans were done with the big tent could the ordinary survivors use it.

Although the Fair Convoy had no written rule...

Everyone followed this unwritten code.

No matter how tired they were, when Chen Ye and Chu Che were discussing matters in the big tent, no ordinary survivor dared to disturb them.

Other convoys were endlessly envious of this big tent.

But Captain Chu Che had absolutely no intention of selling it off.

Tonight's night watch duty fell to Gong Yong and Captain Chu Che.

First half of the night was Captain Chu Che.

Second half was Gong Yong.

After all, they were the only two who hadn't gone out today.

Although the Silent Council patrolled the base every night to maintain order...

The Fair Convoy still kept a bit of caution.

It wasn't that they suspected anomalies would pop up from somewhere to ambush the convoy.

Rather, they were wary of those ill-intentioned bastards in other convoys.

As superhumans advanced in sequence rank, each person's psychology underwent changes.

Some superhumans were even starting to gradually stop identifying as human.

Others didn't give a damn about human life or rules.

In this base...

Many convoys treated ordinary people as their private property—there were plenty of them!

Such people were undoubtedly very dangerous.

Chu Che and Gong Yong stood guard, even if their combat abilities weren't great.

But if something did happen, they could at least alert everyone.

Today had been truly exhausting.

But Chen Ye still couldn't fall asleep.

He clearly felt both physically and mentally drained, yet sleep just wouldn't come.

Chen Ye thought for a moment, then took out a clear-heart talisman.

He quickly drifted into sleep.

But it felt like he hadn't been asleep long...

When Chen Ye was jolted awake by waves of arguing.

It sounded like someone was cursing in the camp.

This lively morning had truly exceeded Chen Ye's expectations.
