Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse
Chapter 428: Actually, black clothes aren’t bad either.
Upon hearing Xu Lina's words, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt as if struck by lightning, her entire body frozen in place. The boxing stance she was holding instantly collapsed. Her mind was completely blank, echoing with just one thought: "I made it!"
Made it?
She actually made it?
She became a Superhuman?
A Superhuman?
I'm not...
Oh my god...
I failed?
Hah...
Yeah, I failed the awakening...
That Sequence Serum had no effect on me at all.
If both of them had failed to awaken successfully, Zhou Xiaoxiao might not have reacted so strongly.
But now...
People, they're most afraid of comparison...
At this moment, saying Zhou Xiaoxiao felt like being pierced by ten thousand arrows wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Right now, she was darker than the darkness beside her.
All light stopped dead the moment it reached her!
On the car roof not far away, Ding Dong opened her eyes, looking at Zhou Xiaoxiao frozen in place, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Others in the convoy might not be able to tell.
Only she knew just how much her little disciple had been looking forward to Sequence Superpowers.
And she also knew what she had sacrificed in hopes of a successful awakening.
Chen Ye also hadn't expected this woman Xu Lina to be so bold, actually leaping onto him in one go.
At the same time, Chen Ye felt a series of scorching gazes burning into his back from behind.
It was Sun Xixi, who had appeared like a ghost.
Sun Xixi stared deathly at Chen Ye's back, her sword-sharp eyes sweeping back and forth between Chen Ye and Xu Lina.
No choice, Xu Lina's cry of joy was just too loud.
However, Chen Ye slightly furrowed his brows.
Because he didn't sense any Supernatural Power aura from Xu Lina at all. Instead, it felt like...
Like those Black Clothes in Oasis.
"You... really became a Superhuman?"
Chen Ye peeled Xu Lina off himself.
Perhaps Xu Lina truly believed she had become a Superhuman, so the way she looked at Chen Ye became exceptionally bold and fiery.
Right now, she was like a fiercely burning flame, dazzling to the eyes.
Or perhaps because she thought she was a Superhuman.
In this moment, Xu Lina radiated astonishing beauty.
Those originally quite seductive eyes were now so alluring they seemed to drip water.
"Chen... Ye, I feel like I'm different now!"
"This feeling... must be Supernatural Power!"
"I'm a Superhuman now too!!!"
Chen Ye looked Xu Lina up and down.
Xu Lina also proudly presented herself under Chen Ye's gaze, no longer showing any of the previous caution and restraint.
This woman with a natural S-curve figure now didn't shy away from others' gazes at all.
The expression on Chen Ye's face grew increasingly strange.
"What sequence did you awaken? What's your sequence name?"
This question stumped Xu Lina.
Xu Lina frowned in thought, seemingly searching for something in her mind, or perhaps sensing some changes within her body.
"Hey... Miss Xu, I'm afraid you didn't awaken successfully, but rather became a Black Clothes!"
Right then, Chu Che, who had been awakened by the commotion, also appeared.
Chu Che had also been very happy when he heard Xu Lina say she had succeeded.
One more Superhuman in the convoy meant the convoy had more self-defense capability.
It also meant an extra layer of security in their future migratory life.
Earlier, Captain Chu Che had sighed in private, feeling that both Sequence Serums were used with zero results.
Although Chu Che hadn't shown this regret publicly.
Deep down, he was quite disheartened.
But when he saw Chen Ye ask those two questions, and the confusion and doubt on Xu Lina's face.
Chu Che knew.
Xu Lina hadn't become a Superhuman; she was likely a Black Clothes.
Black Clothes could also be considered Symbiosis Sequence reserves.
They could be considered semi-finished Superhumans.
Oasis had many such Black Clothes.
Hearing Chu Che's words, Xu Lina's expression also froze for a moment.
"Miss Xu, even if you didn't become a Superhuman, becoming a Black Clothes is still good!~"
"As long as you train properly, the combat power of a Black Clothes isn't weaker than an average Superhuman's!"
"Moreover, Black Clothes have many abilities that can be developed!"
Chu Che wasn't just spouting nonsense here.
The history of Black Clothes isn't long.
Humanity's understanding of Superhumans is extremely limited, let alone this semi-finished version.
Xu Lina stared blankly at her own hands, then looked at Chen Ye's expression beside her.
Then she glanced at Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was staring deathly at her.
The joy on Xu Lina's face slowly faded, her originally upturned lips gradually flattened, and the sparkle in her bright eyes slowly vanished.
Realizing she was still holding Chen Ye's arm.
Xu Lina also let go, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
The Xu Lina now formed a stark contrast with the Xu Lina from a few seconds ago.
Now she was like a shattered porcelain doll.
Her face wore a heartbreaking, broken expression.
The color in her eyes was also slowly draining away.
"I..."
Xu Lina didn't know what to say.
Just moments ago, Xu Lina had clearly felt some changes within herself.
These changes had significantly altered her hearing, sense of smell, vision, and so on.
This change was quite wondrous.
Just like the changes they described for Superhumans.
And in that instant, Xu Lina felt her stamina and strength had also changed dramatically.
Originally, her maintenance of her appearance had slackened a bit recently; after all, without so many skincare products, maintaining it like before was almost impossible.
But...
Just now, Xu Lina discovered even her skin had become much smoother.
Her figure had also become more elastic and alluring.
She had no experience with being a Superhuman, so she thought these were all the changes that came with it.
All of this seemed similar to the symptoms of becoming a Superhuman they described.
She happened to see Chen Ye passing by outside the vehicle.
So... Xu Lina, unable to restrain herself, performed the least restrained action of this entire period.
However, Chu Che's words were like ice-cold water in the dead of winter, poured over her head from above.
The previous ecstasy was slowly receding.
Yeah, she didn't know her sequence name.
Nor did she feel that miraculous Supernatural Power.
Captain Chu... seemed to be telling the truth.
Zhou Xiaoxiao stared deathly at the changing expressions on Xu Lina's face.
Even the subtlest flicker of her eyelids was captured firmly by Zhou Xiaoxiao.
A sliver of relief rose in Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart.
She... must have been mistaken.
She's not a Superhuman...
She's just a Black Clothes...
Just a Black Clothes...
Chen Ye looked at Xu Lina, estimating that what Chu Che said was probably ninety percent true.
He also didn't sense any Supernatural Power from her.
Black Clothes themselves are incapable of generating Supernatural Power.
"Actually... being a Black Clothes isn't bad either!"
Chen Ye held back for a long while, but ultimately couldn't bear to see the shattered expression on Xu Lina's face and couldn't help but offer a word of comfort.
But that was just this one sentence...
Expecting Chen Ye to say more would be wishful thinking.
Xu Lina was stunned for a long moment, then bowed deeply to Chen Ye, her attitude reverting to what Xu Lina's attitude should be.
"Mr. Chen... I'm... I'm sorry... I..."
"Miss Xu, actually, you don't need to be too disheartened."
"Actually, being a Black Clothes is pretty good too!"
"Perhaps you could try if you can use Wonders."
