Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse

By the time the convoy reached Sunset Avenue, it was already close to nine or ten in the morning.

The Silent Council staff members were thoroughly professional.

Everyone had their own duties, and some of them carried bulky backpacks on their backs, no one knew what was actually inside those backpacks.

The senior observers with silver Silent Council emblems on their chests wore grave expressions as they directed the observers with black or blue emblems to get busy.

Song Wei and Xiong Baochun got out of the vehicle and surveyed the entire Haosheng Hotel with stern faces.

Haosheng Hotel had a total of three guest room buildings.

The most conspicuous one, and the one with the best location, was Building One, the same building where Chen Ye and the others had previously opened the door to Room 23.

A banner still fluttered from a fifth-floor window.

The words on that banner were enough to make anyone's scalp crawl.

Xiong Baochun muttered. Even this man, built like a bear, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine as he stood at the entrance of Haosheng Hotel.

Song Wei sighed, a trace of worry creasing his square face: "There are too many places like this!"

Xiong Baochun asked in confusion: "Why did the elders pick a place like Xi City? Wouldn't Shanghai or the capital be just fine?"

Song Wei smiled bitterly: "Shanghai is gone. As for the capital... forget it. Even if you crammed every living person in there, you still wouldn't be able to take it back!"

Hearing Song Wei say this, Xiong Baochun opened his mouth but didn't know how to respond.

"Alright, cut the nonsense. Captain Song, since you guys are the ones sealing this place this time, I assume you have a plan. What's the next step..."

Chen Ye appeared beside the two with a cigarette dangling from his lips and sunglasses on, interrupting their idle chatter.

"Mr. Chen, we'll need your cooperation on this... Our plan is..."

The Silent Council's proposed plan was to seal Room 23 first, that would be the first layer of sealing.

Then every room on every floor would be sealed, that was the second layer.

Then every floor itself would be sealed, that was the third layer.

Then the entire building...

And it wasn't just Building One. Buildings Two and Three would receive the same treatment.

The final grand seal would encompass the entire Haosheng Hotel as one.

Seal stacked upon seal.

"Of course, before we seal anything, Buildings Two and Three also need to be cleared out."

Previously, Chen Ye and the others had only cleared Building One. They hadn't had the chance to inspect and clear Buildings Two and Three yet.

According to the principles of Rule Zones, the same area wouldn't have two Rule Zones.

Buildings Two and Three probably didn't have the same kind of strange places as Building One.

Things needed to be handled one at a time.

Chen Ye led the members of the Fair Convoy to clear Building Two.

The Silent Council personnel were responsible for clearing Building Three.

Then they would seal Building One together.

As expected, Buildings Two and Three also had some Anomalies inside.

But none of them were particularly strong.

The intensity of these Anomalies was consistent with those in other parts of Xi City's outskirts.

First floor of Building Two.

This time, Chen Ye still didn't intend to let everyone act alone.

Although it was somewhat overly cautious, Chen Ye's decision undoubtedly guaranteed everyone's safety.

Old Wang, the Formation Master, was also following Chen Ye's team.

Not only that, but behind Old Wang also followed several staff members in blue Silent Council uniforms, each of them carrying bags that were packed to the brim.

Old Wang undoubtedly fully supported Chen Ye's decision.

Only Gong Yong seemed restless the whole time.

As if he had something weighing on his mind.

Gong Yong had come along this time, though no one knew the reason why.

But this guy's fighting style still caught everyone somewhat by surprise.

Holding his chainsaw, with the motor roaring and exhaust fumes billowing, the socially anxious, full-bearded boy looked like some kind of chainsaw maniac.

Somehow, he'd even gotten a pair of mid-cut hiking boots on his feet.

Clearly, those boots had never been seen before, they must have been something he'd acquired recently.

"Chen Ye, w... watch me... I... I, Da Yong... I'm not a useless person..."

With that roar, Chen Ye watched as Gong Yong screamed and charged toward a humanoid Anomaly across from them.

This humanoid Anomaly looked as if it had been burned by gasoline. From head to toe, apart from its white eyes, there was no other color on it.

Its skin was scorched black. Not only that, but wisps of smoke continued to rise from its body like it was still burning.

And it was accompanied by a strange smell of cooked meat.

Seeing Gong Yong charge at it, the humanoid Anomaly didn't react. Instead, patches of magma-like red appeared across various parts of its body.

The whole thing looked utterly horrifying.

Old Wang stroked his chin and nodded approvingly: "He's a good lad. If everyone were like him, this apocalypse would've been over long ago!"

Classic leader-speak.

Chen Ye, however, was slightly surprised: "Did this kid eat something wrong today?"

Beside him, Dantai Bie curled his lips: "Who knows? Maybe it's because you're always calling everyone useless, and he finally woke up!"

Chen Ye snorted: "Bullshit. If all it took was me cursing at people for them to awaken, wouldn't superhumans be everywhere by now?"

And then... Chen Ye watched as Sun Xixi, Xu Lina, and Iron Lion all nodded vigorously.

Clearly, they weren't agreeing with Chen Ye. They were agreeing with Dantai Bie.

Old Wang and the others just stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

"Some people, when they're in a group and feel safe, they might choose to do nothing and just quietly enjoy that safety."

"But once that sense of security is shattered, then that kind of person is forced to step up!"

"Maybe Gong Yong is that kind of person. Sister Ding Dong's situation clearly stirred something in him."

It was the pink-haired girl who spoke.

"That's possible. Sister Ding Dong's combat power is probably less than a tenth of what it used to be, and even she was still fighting in that condition!"

"Meanwhile, Gong Yong has all his limbs intact but still needs others to protect him. He probably feels guilty about it himself!"

Dantai Bie analyzed.

Old Wang nodded slightly, agreeing with Dantai Bie and Sun Xixi's analysis.

Chen Ye was silent. Maybe that really was the case.

A young man's pride getting the better of him.

"This kind of spirit, Captain Chu Che really should learn from it!"

Chen Ye said darkly.

Who would've thought, the moment those words left his mouth, everyone started nodding vigorously, clearly in complete agreement.

Same as human beings. Gong Yong, upon seeing that Ding Dong had lost both her arms and was still protecting him, felt his conscience condemn him.

But Chu Che didn't even have the awareness that he was being protected, still living comfortably and contentedly under the protection of Chen Ye and the others.

"Damn, this kid, hit him with the saw! Go, go, go!"

Dantai Bie shouted excitedly, like an enthusiastic spectator at a boxing match.

"Get him, get him..."

"Whoa, Da Yong, don't you dare chicken out! Get him..."

"Da Yong, you... ugh... you're killing me..."

By this point, Gong Yong was already tangled up with that charred Anomaly.

The chainsaw in his hands was clearly a decent Wonder. Every time it landed on the Anomaly, it drew furious roars from it.

And those mid-cut hiking boots on Gong Yong's feet also showed their effects.

Wearing those boots allowed Gong Yong to move considerably faster, and he could even take a few steps on walls.

At this moment, when the charred Anomaly was chasing after him, Gong Yong simply walked a few steps straight up onto the ceiling.

This ability was somewhat similar to Number One of the Hunter Sequence, but nowhere near as calm and composed as Number One.

Just then, Gong Yong pulled a small medicine bottle-like thing from his chest and tossed it at the pursuing charred Anomaly.

A blinding flash of light burst forth from that small bottle.

That blinding light... gave Chen Ye a warm feeling.

This was... sunlight...

That little bottle actually contained sunlight.

Everyone's eyes went wide, wanting to see how things would unfold.

Especially Old Wang. He seemed completely stunned, staring intently at the radiant spot.

But the Anomaly hit by the light let out a piercing shriek.

"Ahh~~~"

It seemed that charred Anomaly had suffered tremendous damage.

"This is... sunlight!"

"Good kid, he actually managed to collect sunlight to use against Anomalies!"

Sunlight Capsule, this was a disposable weapon Gong Yong had invented to deal with Anomalies.

This kid had been constantly researching ways to fight Anomalies. Back when the apocalypse first started, many Anomalies were afraid of sunlight.

But as time passed in the apocalypse, many Anomalies underwent changes. Under normal circumstances, most Anomalies were no longer afraid of sunlight and could even attack humans during the day.

Though they weren't afraid of it anymore, they still didn't particularly like sunlight.

So, Gong Yong capitalized on the fact that Anomalies disliked sunlight and started creating weapons similar to sunlight.

That was also the reason Gong Yong had insisted on coming along.

He wanted to see if his Sunlight Capsule actually worked.

He wanted to see it with his own eyes...

The bursting sunlight erupted from that small bottle.

The whole process lasted about four or five seconds.

Only then did the Anomaly's shrieking slowly stop, and the white light faded.

That charred black figure, apart from having more burning-white vapor rising from its body, showed no other signs of damage at all.

Old Wang let out a deep sigh.

Gong Yong froze, then his whole body shuddered, and he turned and ran back toward Chen Ye and the others.

"Brother Yezi, Sister Xixi, save me, save me... waaa..."

This guy's courage only lasted until he threw that small bottle.

Iron Lion took two big strides forward and caught the charred Anomaly's attack with a vicious grin.

After that, Gong Yong rarely made a move, spending most of his time hiding behind the others.

Then again, this guy had always been timid.

Whether it was back in the Doomsday Convoy or the Fair Convoy, nobody had ever forced a mechanic to participate in combat.

Regardless of the reason this time, the fact that he voluntarily stepped up to join this mission already proved his courage.

Being brave isn't about facing things without fear.

It's about being terrified out of your mind but doing it anyway, that's what bravery truly is.

Today, Gong Yong lived up to the "Yong" in his name, which meant courage.

The Fair Convoy worked quickly.

Building Two wasn't a Rule Zone like Building One, nor did every closed room contain an Anomaly.

Many rooms were completely empty, nothing in them at all.

They scavenged all the useful supplies from the rooms and tossed them out the windows.

Survivors who had come along this time were waiting below, and they'd be responsible for transporting the supplies back to the convoy.

Once a room was fully cleared, Old Wang would stick a yellow talisman paper on the door.

It was only then that Chen Ye and the others realized what was inside those backpacks.

They were all filled with pre-written talisman papers.

Old Wang's hand seals never stopped. The yellow paper trembled slightly, a yellow light flashed, and then the talisman paper seemed to merge with the entire room.

Chen Ye tested it. Rooms that Old Wang had sealed with his talisman couldn't be pushed open, as if the room had been cast as a single solid piece.

Old Wang was quite satisfied with the shocked expressions on Chen Ye and the others' faces.

"This is the power of a Formation Master. Our direct combat capability isn't great, but give us enough time, and no Anomaly or superhuman can stand against us."

"Impressive, Old Wang. That skill of yours is truly remarkable!"

Dantai Bie gave Old Wang a thumbs up.

The middle-aged greasy man was instantly delighted.

Soon, the entire Building Two was fully sealed.

Around that time, the Silent Council had also just finished sealing Building Three.

The two groups converged and began sealing Building One.
