Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse

To be honest, Hou Junji wasn't that easy to manipulate.

The real problem was Chu Che's give-up-and-lie-flat attitude, which left Hou Junji feeling deeply unsettled.

Room 23 at the Haosheng Hotel was still a thorn stuck in Xi City's side.

If the Silent Council wanted to control all of Xi City, they couldn't afford to ignore the Haosheng Hotel.

But right now, the Silent Council had a thousand things on their plate, and they simply couldn't concentrate their firepower on solving the Room 23 problem all at once.

For the time being, sealing it up seemed like the only option.

After a simple breakfast, the convoy rolled out.

City Lord Cha Wu rode in the Silent Council's vehicle.

Even when he saw people he once knew, City Lord Cha Wu showed no desire to chat. He exchanged a few brief pleasantries with Chu Che, then shut his mouth.

Chu Che was sensible enough not to disturb him.

Instead, it was that Office Director named Old Wang who turned out to be extremely talkative.

He could strike up a conversation with anyone, even a dog passing by the camp seemed fair game for his small talk.

When they learned that Old Wang's convoy was literally called "Neighbor Old Wang," everyone couldn't help but crack up.

Who names their convoy something like that?

Clearly, this convoy was full of goofballs.

Gong Yong took out the Bluetooth earbuds and handed them back to everyone.

There was a look of guilt on Gong Yong's face: "Sorry, I... I'm limited in what I can do, and there wasn't enough time. I could only improve the call quality, I can't add more features yet!"

Chen Ye took the earbuds and shot him a contemptuous look: "Can't even handle something this simple? What use are you?"

Old Wang, who had just joined, heard Chen Ye's words and gave him a very surprised look.

He started wondering if the Fair Convoy's internal relationships weren't as harmonious as they appeared on the surface.

But who would've thought that the socially anxious Gong Yong would flare up at Chen Ye's comment: "If you're so good, you do it!"

Fine then, this guy actually dared to talk back to Chen Ye to his face now.

But right after snapping back, he shrank his neck and didn't dare say another word, seemingly afraid Chen Ye would beat him up.

However, Chen Ye just looked disdainful, not even bothering to take Gong Yong's retort to heart.

This kind of dynamic left Old Wang even more confused.

What the hell is wrong with this convoy?

Ding Dong couldn't participate in this operation.

Gong Yong thought it over, and who knows what was going through that guy's head, but he actually volunteered to go along.

Chu Che didn't stop him either.

And so, the Fair Convoy's vehicles rolled out of the base.

Xi City was still Xi City, Sunset Avenue was still Sunset Avenue.

This wasn't their first time here, and compared to the tension of the first visit, the atmosphere now was much more relaxed.

Chen Ye drove the Monster Pickup Truck with one hand, a cigarette in the other, sunglasses on his face.

When he came to the base area, Chen Ye mostly kept his sunglasses on. The main reason was that his one eye was too conspicuous, and wearing sunglasses spared him from other people's curious, probing stares.

The radio crackled with Dantai Bie's complaints.

"Seriously, can't Captain Chu talk to the Silent Council people and get us assigned somewhere else?"

"With the Haosheng Hotel on Sunset Avenue, I feel like it's just a ticking time bomb!"

"One of these days, boom! We'll all be sent to the afterlife!"

"Doesn't anyone understand the principle of a wise man not standing beneath a crumbling wall?"

"Blah blah blah..."

Dantai Bie's mouth never stopped moving.

Everyone was already thoroughly familiar with Dantai Bie's personality by now.

Nobody even bothered to respond.

But even with zero response, the guy still kept yapping.

"Hey hey hey, won't you guys say something? Captain Chen, you're leading this operation, don't you have any thoughts?"

Dantai Bie, apparently feeling bored that no one was answering his questions, finally started calling people out by name.

Chen Ye didn't want to bother, but hearing Dantai Bie say this, he figured he'd toss out a couple of lines to kill the boring travel time.

"All the territory in Xi City is already divided up now, we can't switch..."

"Besides, when they originally assigned us this section of Sunset Avenue, we already got a decent deal out of it. Unless..."

Chen Ye stopped mid-sentence.

Dantai Bie quickly pressed: "Unless what? Captain Chen, do you actually have a way?"

The others also seemed to pick up on the fact that Chen Ye had more to say.

They started pressing him too.

"Yezi, just say it, we're all family here, no one's going to repeat what you say!"

"Exactly exactly, Yezi, if you have an idea, just spit it out, we'll definitely back you up!"

"The Haosheng Hotel is way too terrifying, Captain Chen, do you really have a plan?"

"..."

Old Wang, sitting on Bus Number Five, perked up his ears.

He naturally knew about the Haosheng Hotel situation, since he was the one called in to deal with it.

Now hearing that this one-eyed guy named Chen Ye had a plan, he got curious.

If there really was a better solution, maybe he wouldn't even need to make this trip?

Seeming to notice Old Wang perking up his ears to listen,

Iron Lion grinned, and his four hands immediately shot out, firmly covering Old Wang's ears, eyes, and even his nose all at once.

Old Wang was instantly plunged into pitch darkness.

"Mmmph mmmph..."

Iron Lion leaned his mouth toward the radio and said: "Yezi, I've got Old Wang covered, go on, what's your plan?"

Old Wang, being smothered by Iron Lion, struggled desperately.

Hearing Iron Lion's words, he was furious.

I'm not just being held by you, I'm being suffocated by you, you big idiot, let me go!

But Iron Lion couldn't hear him at all.

Chen Ye thought for a moment and said: "Actually, my plan is pretty simple. Trade with other convoys. If they won't trade, then fight them until they will..."

"For example, the Shepherd Convoy next door!"

"However, I bet the first ones to oppose this would be the Silent Council!"

"Doing this would basically be breaking the rules."

"The Return to the City Plan just started, there's no way the Silent Council would agree to us doing this!"

"Before long, it wouldn't just be the Silent Council targeting us, the whole base would be against us!"

"Of course, if you all support me on this, it's not impossible to pull off!"

"Hehe... how about it?"

Hearing Chen Ye's idea, everyone fell into silence.

Then when they heard Chen Ye actually seemed tempted, everyone except Iron Lion started to panic.

Dantai Bie quickly said: "Captain Chen, forget it. We might be strong, but we can't fight an entire base!"

Gong Yong also hurriedly added: "Exactly, Captain Chen, we finally got ourselves stabilized. Besides, it's not like the Silent Council isn't helping, didn't they send people too!"

Chen Ye curled his lips. I knew you guys wouldn't agree.

Behind their convoy was the Shepherd Convoy.

Since the two convoys were responsible for adjacent territories, they were traveling the same route.

On top of that, Chen Ye's convoy channel wasn't encrypted, so Chen Ye's little speech was overheard by the Shepherd Convoy.

Boss Ma listened through gritted teeth: "That damn Chen Ye, actually treating our Shepherd Convoy like a soft persimmon to squeeze. Sister Jiang, there's a limit to what a man can endure. What do you say we do?"

But Jiang Rou didn't answer Boss Ma.

She had her own question swirling in her mind. She could tell that the new blade at Chen Ye's waist was the very one she had always wanted.

But from her understanding, someone like Chen Ye could never be acknowledged by that proud blade.

How exactly did he pull that off?
