Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse
Chapter 487: Sun Qianqian and Tie Shi were buried in Fairy Lake.
Everyone still remembered how Chu Che had pointed at one of those screaming people before.
That person then turned into bread thrown into a koi pond.
That image was enough to send chills down everyone's spine.
At the time, everyone knew it was because that person had made a sound that Chu Che targeted them like that.
Later, Chu Che pointed at another person.
That person also became bread in the koi pond.
This second person led many to believe it was some kind of sacrifice needed for Squad Leader Chu Che’s ability.
And now, this was Chu Che’s second time using the "Living Person Shielding" ability.
Only this time, no one had become a sacrifice yet.
"Pfft... what nonsense are you all spouting?"
"My ability is a legitimate ability. What sacrifices? Don't talk nonsense!!"
Chu Che was speechless. He never expected the story to get twisted like this.
"Then before..."
The Pink-haired Girl didn't finish her sentence.
"After I activate this ability, any unit within the coverage area can't make human sounds. Human voices leak the aura of the living!"
"It affects the effectiveness of this ability!"
"That second person before, he had been muttering under his breath the whole time..."
The convoy had just narrowly escaped a crisis that could have wiped them out.
The tense atmosphere in the convoy needed to be released.
So everyone was chatting idly, each saying a word or two, to lighten the mood.
Prolonged tension would have unimaginable consequences for the convoy.
On the other hand, post-battle communication was also a necessary procedure.
The Sea of Trees in the Eternal Night and the Sea of Chaotic Graves both held too many baffling things.
Discussion could combine what everyone had seen, allowing for a deeper understanding of the apocalyptic anomalies.
This was also one of the sources of knowledge about the apocalypse and its anomalies.
There was no internet now.
A lot of knowledge simply couldn't be looked up online.
Therefore, this kind of communication was absolutely necessary!
"What did you all see when you went to save people before?"
Chu Che spoke up.
Although his voice was tired, he still brought up this topic.
Before, Chen Ye and the others had plunged the convoy into momentary darkness due to those five seconds of blackout.
So many people had been lost at that time.
Chen Ye and the others had charged into the darkness, and when they came back, the look of terror on each of their faces had been nagging at Chu Che.
He had been busy with other things before and hadn't had the chance to discuss it.
But that didn't mean Chu Che had forgotten about it.
If he hadn't been prepared beforehand, the Fair Convoy’s Superhumans might have suffered casualties.
Chen Ye thought back to the "Iron Lion" and "Sun Xixi" he had seen, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
The convoy continued moving forward.
With Bus Number Five and Bus Number Six, which had been modified by Gong Yong, traveling through the grave-mound-filled Sea of Chaotic Graves wasn't too big a problem.
After Chen Ye's Monster Pickup Truck had its off-road system upgraded, it didn't even consider the terrain of the Sea of Chaotic Graves a challenge.
The entire convoy maintained a speed of 30 to 50 kilometers per hour.
Occasionally, a few dazed figures stood by the roadside, turning their stiff necks to look at the convoy.
But by the time they reacted and tried to chase after it.
The convoy had already covered a considerable distance.
Those broken figures were much fewer than before.
It felt like they were reaching the edge of the Sea of Chaotic Graves.
"When we charged into the darkness before..."
Sun Xixi began to talk about what she had seen in the darkness.
There was some unease in her voice.
What she saw was largely the same as what Chen Ye had seen – an endless expanse of graves, one after another.
In that dim world, there was nothing else besides grave after grave.
Back then, she had chased the disappearing people into the darkness, and in the blink of an eye, she couldn't see the convoy anymore.
If it hadn't been for Squad Leader Chu Che's Marking ability.
She might not have gotten out.
It was also out of trust in Chu Che that she followed the glowing lines of the mark and returned to the convoy.
"At that time, the direction Squad Leader Chu's mark line pointed to was an opened grave!"
"And on the tombstone of that grave..."
As she said this, Sun Xixi’s voice trembled slightly.
"Xixi, what did you see?"
Chen Ye was also nervous. He had a bad feeling!
Sun Xixi swallowed, looking out the window at the endless graveyard.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "I saw on the tombstone: Sun Xixi, Buried at Fairy Lake!"
"Hiss..."
When Chen Ye heard this, it was like an electric shock ran through his entire body.
Buried at Fairy Lake!!!
Back at Fairy Lake, Sun Xixi had said that if she ever died, she wanted Chen Ye to bury her in a place even more beautiful than Fairy Lake.
What the hell...
You have to understand, what Chen Ye had seen in the darkness before...
Were Iron Lion, Sun Xixi, and Ding Dong...
No, Chen Ye wasn't even sure now what those things were.
Now, combined with Sun Xixi seeing her own grave and tombstone...
A terrible premonition arose in Chen Ye’s heart.
"Iron Lion, what did you see?"
Chen Ye swallowed, an unconscious hint of nervousness creeping into his voice.
"I saw the same thing as Xixi. I... I saw my own tombstone too!"
"What did it say?"
"Wu Haifeng, Buried at Fairy Lake!"
Iron Lion's real name was Wu Haifeng.
When he said the three words "Wu Haifeng," the convoy members were a little taken aback for a moment.
But then they sank into an even deeper silence.
What the hell...
"Ding Dong, did you see the same thing?"
This time, it was Chu Che who asked.
Obviously, Chen Ye's mind was a complete mess right now.
He had briefly lost the ability to think.
Iron Lion and Sun Xixi were going to die!
They would be buried at Fairy Lake?
What he had seen in the darkness was their... death state?
The term "death state" was the most accurate description Chen Ye could think of after racking his brain.
He honestly didn't know how to describe the state of Sun Xixi and Iron Lion in that condition.
Didn't it say they would be buried at Fairy Lake?
Then why did they appear in the Sea of Chaotic Graves?
"I saw the same thing as Xixi and Iron Lion. I also saw my own tombstone!"
"But my tombstone said buried at the Sky Whale Graveyard!"
Sky Whale Graveyard?
The Rank 9 Wonder!
It had a graveyard too?
"Then how did you all get out?"
Chen Ye asked in a hoarse voice.
"I saw Squad Leader Chu's mark. The direction that mark pointed to was exactly my own grave!"
"I just followed Squad Leader Chu's mark and walked, and then I came back!"
Iron Lion's simple voice was filled with confusion and helplessness.
He didn't understand what he had seen in the darkness of the Sea of Chaotic Graves before.
He was just answering whatever Chu Che asked.
"Yezi, what did you see?"
Finally, the question came to Chen Ye.
Chen Ye swallowed. "I saw your... death states!"
Chen Ye didn't hide anything. He directly told everything he had seen in detail.
After all, they had been together for so long now, aside from some necessary secrets.
There was no need for him to keep these things to himself.
By speaking up, many hands make light work. Maybe they could come up with a different idea.
After he finished, the radio went silent instantly.
A deathly stillness pervaded the entire convoy.
Chen Ye opened his mouth, picked up the radio, and put it down again.
Finally, he picked it up again and said in a relaxed tone, "Actually, it's nothing!"
"Xixi, you told me back at Fairy Lake that if you died, you would definitely want me to find a place more beautiful than Fairy Lake."
"So, even if you really did die, I definitely wouldn't bury you at Fairy Lake!"
The way he said it...
Although the words were unlucky, after the apocalypse, everyone had come to terms with death.
Discussing death in the apocalypse didn't feel bad.
In fact, many people felt that they would definitely die in the end.
If they could die with dignity, that would be a very good thing.
So, it wasn't really considered unlucky.
Sun Xixi’s ethereal voice came through the radio.
"I also saw a sentence on the back of the tombstone!"
"What did it say?"
Chen Ye noticed something unusual in Sun Xixi's voice.
Sun Xixi paused for almost half a minute before her voice came through the radio again.
"It was written like this!"
"Xixi, I'm sorry, I couldn't find a place more beautiful than Fairy Lake."
