Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse
Chapter 422: Humans are inherently complex
Cha Wu left.
Actually, Chen Ye wanted this guy to stay a bit longer.
After all, this guy seemed to know many secrets that others didn't.
But this guy seemed to have other things to attend to and simply didn't give Chen Ye the chance.
Regarding this, Chen Ye had no better solution.
If you talk about mysterious, this guy was definitely the most mysterious person Chen Ye had ever met.
This guy seemed to know everything.
The good days at the hot spring quickly arrived at the third day.
Today, the atmosphere in the camp felt very off.
Because today was the day the three convoys would go their separate ways.
It was also the day to leave the hot spring hill.
These few days of hot spring life had truly made many people develop extremely deep feelings for this little hill.
Although they clearly knew they couldn't stay here for many days.
Some people still spent any free time they had transforming this hot spring hill.
The originally messy hot spring hill.
Now had two small paths paved with stones.
It also gained a simple circle of fence walls.
It even had two more cages for raising chickens and insects.
They clearly knew that even if they transformed this place into a paradise, they couldn't stay for long.
But some people were still willing to do it.
In just three short days, this hot spring hill had undergone a dramatic transformation.
No one treated this place as a temporary residence.
Chu Che and Chen Ye's group were also reluctant to leave here.
If possible, they would even be willing to make this their habitat.
But there was no choice, if they stayed here any longer, it would definitely attract Anomalies.
By then, the convoy would face big trouble.
Among the ordinary people in the convoy, many rare friendships had also developed.
After the apocalypse, everyone's friendships became especially pure and precious.
Sometimes, even after just a few days together, the relationship felt better than with colleagues worked with for over a decade.
You could often see groups of men and women walking around with arms around each other's shoulders, showing off.
No need to face cold computer screens every day, no need to flatter clients with fake smiles, no more endless mortgage and car loan payments.
Actually, for many people, if not for the extreme danger of apocalypse life, living like this wouldn't be bad.
"Little Zhao, remember to write me letters, don't forget everyone once you leave!"
A middle-aged man pulled a young man into a headlock, ruffling the young man's hair as he spoke.
The young man's voice choked slightly: "Brother Dao, don't worry, I definitely won't forget everyone, wait... when times get better, I'll come find you all."
Although clearly knowing letters couldn't possibly be delivered, he still agreed.
The young man's "when times get better" referred to the apocalypse ending and everyone returning to their previous lives.
Although their ages differed by a generation, during these few days together, the two were like biological brothers, sharing everything.
If not for both being very clear about their orientation, some might have thought they were a couple.
The middle-aged man rubbed his nose and laughed heartily: "When times get better, I'm afraid I won't live to see it, that'll be up to you young people."
"Brother Dao, don't say that... it'll get better!"
"Hahaha... it'll get better!" ππΏπ²ππ πππ»πΌπ―ππ.ππΌπΊ
The middle-aged man didn't argue, just echoed the young man's words.
When they first met, the middle-aged man just thought this kid resembled his son who died at the hands of Anomalies, so he showed him some extra care.
Before, the middle-aged man couldn't stand looking at his own good-for-nothing son.
Now, looking at this young man who resembled his son, he found him more and more likable.
Perhaps after this departure, they would never meet again.
In this kind of apocalypse.
No one could guarantee they would definitely survive to the end.
Especially ordinary people.
They might die the very next second.
Similar situations were very common today.
"Old Wang, this is the chocolate I hid, when you find your son, give it to him to try..."
"No need, my son probably won't get to eat it, when you find your daughter, keep it for her!"
"Brother Zhang, you..."
"You kid, don't cry, I can't stand blubbering the most..."
"Sister Jiang, can't you stay..."
"You little girl, with so many people gathered, if we don't leave, are we waiting for those Anomalies to come find us!"
"Everyone has their own path to walk, be strong..."
"I feel my nose getting sour too..."
A sorrowful mood permeated the hot spring hill.
Actually, everyone understood clearly in their hearts that this farewell might be the last time they ever saw each other.
That year when Anomalies broke into the human world.
Many people, without realizing it, had already seen that most important person for the last time.
Those goodbyes that were left unsaid.
Let's say them today.
Chu Che, Sun Xixi, and Chen Ye's group also stood not far away.
Lin Shu Tong had already had people prepare both vehicles, ready to depart at any moment.
Tang Le Le and Little Fish, this pair of little sisters, had already cried themselves to exhaustion.
The two hugged each other, pulling at one another, completely unwilling to separate.
"Little Fish, I'll miss you!"
"Le Le... you... remember to write me letters!"
"Silly, it's the apocalypse now, there are no mail carriers!"
"Wah... no, you write first, I'll definitely get it somehow!"
"Then... then you have to write me letters too!"
"Okay..."
"Pinky promise, a hundred years no changing..."
Chen Ye curled his lip: "Childish!"
Then he faced the furious glares of the two little sisters.
"Little Fish, remember to avenge me!"
"Le Le, don't worry, I'll defeat this big bad guy someday!"
Chen Ye continued curling his lip, turning to leave under the furious stares of the two little sisters.
Suddenly, a dark object was tossed over.
Tang Le Le's eyes lit up, her whole body leaping up like a cat to catch it.
As soon as it landed in her hand, she felt the cool, icy sensation.
It was actually a gun.
And a Wonder at that.
Tang Le Le quickly saw this Wonder's information.
"Blasting Star..."
Chen Ye's voice drifted over leisurely: "Watch out for side effects!!!"
Tang Le Le made a face at Chen Ye's retreating back.
But her heart felt warm.
That lively, cute little face resembling a cat gained an extra touch of warmth.
The Blasting Star was basically useless to Chen Ye.
Every Wonder he currently possessed was several levels stronger than the Blasting Star.
But this Wonder would be very useful for a little girl like Tang Le Le.
After learning that those seven corn seeds were actually exchanged by Lin Shu Tong using her own Wonder.
Chen Ye felt somewhat uncomfortable.
According to Tang Le Le, that Wonder was Lin Shu Tong's only Wonder, and also the entire convoy's only Wonder.
And then there was this Peace Convoy.
Through these days of interaction, Chen Ye finally understood just how poor this convoy was.
Not only was the great beauty Lin Shu Tong dragging along several big and small dead weights, the convoy's pathfinder was also blind and needed her care.
If Lin Shu Tong were a powerful person, like Mo Huairen back then.
Chen Ye might have even developed some greedy thoughts.
But Lin Shu Tong was so pitifully poor, her entire convoy couldn't even scrape together one Wonder.
Previously, their only Wonder was traded by her for Ideal Grain Seeds.
Which Chen Ye then stole.
According to Tang Le Le, they had gone to gather supplies before too.
Resulting in many deaths, and finding nothing.
Chen Ye could abandon all principles against the strong, stopping at nothing...
But toward people like Lin Shu Tong, Tang Le Le, and Su Jisheng...
Especially as he got to know them these days, Chen Ye discovered Lin Shu Tong was a woman with a fiery appearance but an extremely timid, sensitive heart who was easily bullied.
When facing Chen Ye, this woman always acted afraid Chen Ye would lose his temper and hurt her.
You have to understand how nervous this woman's heart was when Chen Ye stole their things back then.
But at that time, she simply had no way.
He didn't know how this convoy of theirs had survived until now.
Back in Oasis, Lin Shu Tong had been bullied by many ill-intentioned Superhumans.
Chen Ye, this selfish guy who would do anything to survive and trusted no one.
But at this moment, he was willing to give away his own Wonder!
Even the coldest killer, seeing a cute kitten, would squat down and toss it a piece of ham.
People, after all, are complex.
