Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse
Chapter 425: Monster P.E.K.K.A. Upgrade Plan
After a brief consideration, Chen Ye temporarily decided to upgrade the vehicle's lighting system first.
Currently, with Eternal Night about to arrive, this upgrade plan is definitely the most urgent.
If Eternal Night comes and they can't see the road during the migration process, that would absolutely be a very troublesome matter. ๐ฏ๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐๐ฎ๐ต.๐๐ค๐ข
As for other upgrade directions, such as the car windows, the vehicle's exterior shell... Chen Ye had the System calculate a bit. If all the currently needed directions for the vehicle were fully upgraded, it would take at least a week or more.
Forget about how many Slaughter Points it would consume. Just the time alone is enough to drive one crazy.
Before, without the Eternal Night situation, Chen Ye wasn't very concerned about the vehicle's lighting system either; it was passable if it could barely work. Back in Fog City, he only upgraded the fog lights. But now, that situation is clearly insufficient.
There's also the issue of upgrading the cultivation method. This is a big one. The upgrade plan given by the System requires two hundred thousand Slaughter Points, along with one hundred and forty-four hours, which is six days.
With Eternal Night potentially arriving at any moment, upgrading the cultivation method will have to wait. They need to prioritize upgrading the most needed functions first.
This time, with over three hundred thousand Slaughter Points, Chen Ye could afford to be a bit extravagant. He directly told the System to upgrade according to the plan most suitable for the current situation.
The System's final quote was seven thousand Slaughter Points, plus six hours.
This upgrade plan doesn't just include conventional upgrades like the vehicle's high beams and low beams. It also includes the interior lighting system.
Previously, to save Slaughter Points, Chen Ye hadn't really considered the lighting system inside the cabin either. After all, the cabin's function was just for sleeping every night.
But now, to deal with the impending Eternal Night, interior lighting needs are also being considered. Chen Ye even considered adding a kitchen or bathroom inside the vehicle, directly transforming the Monster Pickup Truck into an RV. But these would all take a relatively long time. They can only be considered as problems to address after the lighting system upgrade is completed.
Watching the countdown timer appear, Chen Ye felt a bit more at ease.
Looking through the car window at the pitch-black night sky, Chen Ye always felt like countless pairs of eyes were hiding in the darkness far away. This feeling made people very uneasy. But when he looked carefully, he couldn't find anything.
At this moment, other survivors and Superhumans in the vehicles also had the same feeling as Chen Ye.
For example, inside those two airport shuttle buses, the survivors looked fearfully into the pitch-black night, their hearts filled with dread for a time. Although they couldn't see anything, they always felt there was some great terror out there.
Originally, some people were supposed to set up tents outside the vehicles to rest tonight. After all, the space inside the vehicles was really limited. It was impossible for everyone to get good rest conditions inside the vehicles.
At first, some people indeed planned to set up tents around the several vehicles to rest as usual. But after resting outside for less than half an hour, they returned to the vehicles one by one. Their reasons all seemed pre-arranged: they said there were eyes in the distant darkness staring at them.
Chen Hao was still recuperating from his injuries within the convoy. After this period of rest, his injuries were mostly healed. Hearing them all say this, Chen Hao got out of the vehicle to check the situation. He found that the blockhead Iron Lion was also inspecting everywhere.
After communicating with each other, the two discovered that the situation on the school bus was exactly the same. In the end, there was no other choice. For safety, everyone still returned to their respective vehicles to rest. As for other matters, they could only be discussed tomorrow.
"Zzzz... Hey, do any of you feel something's not right?" Captain Chu Che's voice came from the radio. His tent was the largest and most comfortable in the entire convoy. Therefore, with the intuition of a Pathfinder, he had also felt the sensation of being watched from the darkness earlier.
Captain Chu had originally been about to go to sleep. But he always felt unsettled. Now he had also returned to his vehicle. He asked Xue Nan and Xiao Fu. The answers he got were the same as his feeling. They also felt like they were being watched.
Thus, Captain Chu picked up the radio.
Chen Ye had originally been about to start cultivating. Even though there was no blood moon tonight, he could still cultivate. It's just that the cultivation effect would be slightly worse. But then the radio suddenly rang out.
"Captain Chu, you noticed it too?" The voice that came through belonged to the Pink-haired Girl. This little girl had been holding the Fire Dragon Sword in her hand the whole time and hadn't put it down. Earlier, she had originally planned to start her daily routine cultivation. But just after walking a short distance from the camp, she sensed something was wrong and came straight back.
"Captain Chu, I keep feeling like someone is watching us from far away, but I got out to look and didn't find anyone!" This blockhead voice was Iron Lion's.
Chen Ye's teasing, annoying voice joined in: "Captain Chu, aren't you the Pathfinder? Don't you know if there are Anomalies?" Chen Ye's words choked Captain Chu, making him roll his eyes.
"I'm a Pathfinder, not omnipotent! If I could detect everything, would we be living this migratory life?" After saying this, Chu Che felt a bit of regret. Damn it, wasn't this just handing the conversation thread right to Chen Ye's mouth?
Before Chu Che could change the subject, he heard Chen Ye's classic line blurt out: "No, if you don't know anything, then what's the use of you?"
Chu Che: "..." A stifled breath stuck in Captain Chu's chest, unable to go up or down, truly infuriating him.
"Kukukukuku..." "Grrrrrrrr..." "..." Laughter filled the channel.
"Chen Ye, you shut the hell up!" After a long while, Chu Che could only manage to say this one sentence.
After the brief digression, the topic finally returned to the main point. "Pathfinders aren't omnipotent! You can't place all your hopes on Pathfinders! If we were really that useful, we humans wouldn't have fallen to our current state. Moreover, this new continent isn't a place we're familiar with. What kind of situations might occur, no one knows!" Chu Che spoke earnestly, stating his views. He had never encountered this kind of situation before.
This made Chu Che recall that extremely fast Anomaly he sensed before entering Oasis. That Anomaly was one of the fastest he had ever encountered. Of course, it wasn't that Chu Che thought Eternal Night had any connection to that Anomaly. He just felt that this time's encountered situation also made him feel it was troublesome.
"However, you all don't need to be too tense either. I haven't detected any Anomalous aura around us!" Seeming to sense the atmosphere was too oppressive, Captain Chu directly stated the result of his sensing. "As long as it's not Anomalies, the problem isn't big!"
Hearing this, everyone felt a bit more at ease. "But we still need to assign people for night watch tonight! Yezi and Xixi will guard the first half of the night, Iron Lion and Ding Dong will guard the second half..."
