Chapter 44: Tricycle Upgrade Completed

The supplies allocated last were also the most abundant.

But the distribution speed was the fastest.

According to the previously agreed ratio, even though it was only twenty percent, the supplies in front of Chen Ye had piled up into a small mountain.

The envy and greed in the eyes of the surrounding survivors couldn't be hidden at all. If not for fear of the Sequence Superpowers, someone would probably have already started making a move.

Chen Ye adjusted the machete and hand crossbow at his waist.

Nana let out a cold snort, her hand resting on the hilt of the long sword at her waist, her eyes sweeping over those restless people. The commotion on site quickly subsided.

As a superhuman of the Sword Immortal Sequence's second realm, Open Blade Realm, just one glance was enough to make ordinary people lose all their courage!

"Chen Ye, park your vehicle with mine later!"

Nana said quietly to Chen Ye.

So many supplies—if this were before the apocalypse, they would just be worthless things that no one would glance at even if piled on the street.

But now, these supplies were comparable to a mountain of gold.

Chen Ye rode his motor tricycle over, cleared out some space in the cargo bed, and then moved all the supplies into it.

The previously somewhat spacious cargo bed was instantly filled with supplies in the blink of an eye.

At this point, there was less than half an hour left until the vehicle upgrade completion.

Old Li also brought two people down from the bus, packed up the supplies belonging to Iron Lion, and took them away. Chen Ye watched as those survivors tied these supplies to the roof of the bus.

Chu Che and Nana did the same, adding more supplies to the roofs of their modified off-road vehicles.

The sun at the horizon slowly tilted westward, casting dim yellow light on the sand dunes, turning the entire dune field into a golden ocean.

If such beautiful scenery could be photographed and posted on social media now, it would definitely get many likes.

It's just a pity that since the apocalypse began, most electronic devices have become useless bricks after running out of power.

On the other side, a blood moon had already risen into the sky, replacing the golden ocean of the desert with a bloody hue, making the entire desert appear more eerie and unsettling.

The temperature was getting lower and lower. Chen Ye took a jacket from the cargo bed and put it on, also changing into slightly thicker long pants before feeling somewhat better.

Some survivors had already started preparing dinner.

Although many people had died in Longevity Village, the convoy wasn't short of supplies for the time being.

The aroma of food spread over the sand dunes, adding a hint of sweetness to the air, and some noise reached their ears.

Chen Ye busied himself on the vehicle in a performative manner, aiming to cover up the commotion when the upgrade succeeded later.

After all, he was what others believed to be a Mechanic Sequence superhuman.

There were still fifteen minutes left until the upgrade completion.

Chen Ye found several wooden sticks to support on the cargo bed, took apart several pairs of jeans, and simply set up a makeshift tent.

By now, the faint light at the horizon was getting darker and darker. Chen Ye had parked in a very clever position.

Unless people deliberately paid attention to Chen Ye, they basically couldn't see what Chen Ye was actually doing.

And by this time, the survivors were already talking and eating around the campfire, with no one paying attention to what Chen Ye was doing.

The fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Watching the countdown turn to "0".

Chen Ye only felt waves of dizziness before his eyes, the women's jeans in his hand disappeared, and even the other women's clothing in the cargo bed had vanished into thin air.

In a daze, Chen Ye felt he was now in a semi-enclosed space.

Where he could previously see the campfire not far away, it was now blocked by a cloth wall full of patches.

It's... done?

Chen Ye felt a slight joy, suppressing the sense of accomplishment in his heart, and directly climbed out from the cargo bed.

Using the faint remaining light at the horizon, what Chen Ye saw now was a completely different motor tricycle.

A canopy full of patches had been added above the cargo bed. This canopy had a distinctive feature—it was pieced together from strips of jeans and various T-shirts.

Chen Ye even spotted a women's bra among them.

This was simply... utterly disgraceful!

Not only that, but the canopy roof extended toward the cargo bed, covering the top of the cargo bed to form a small sunshade curtain.

The motor tricycle now looked very much like a delivery vehicle from before the apocalypse.

Before the apocalypse, delivery workers would ride such electric tricycles through streets and alleys every day, with the cargo beds filled with packages.

Before the apocalypse, this was just a delivery tricycle.

But now in Chen Ye's eyes, this was the best vehicle in the world.

He just liked it more and more the longer he looked at it!

He had the system, and upgrades could complete anytime, anywhere.

Now that there was an enclosed space at the back of the cargo bed, whenever Chen Ye wanted to upgrade supplies in the future, he could place them in the cargo bed without worrying about being seen and causing unnecessary trouble.

The canopy also had sun protection functionality, able to avoid direct exposure to the scorching sun during the day.

At night, he could also sleep in the cargo bed, which was certainly better than sleeping in the open air.

Chen Ye's eyes shone with light—he was one step closer to his dream of an apocalypse base vehicle.

"Wow~~~ Chen Ye, is this your new vehicle?"

Just then, an exaggerated exclamation of admiration came from behind Chen Ye.

Hearing this voice, Chen Ye felt his entire body turn ice cold.

No!

When did this person appear?

What did she see?

What should I do?

Escape?

Or...

Chen Ye turned around stiffly, first seeing a pair of exaggeratedly long legs—long, white, and slender, worthy of being called "legs to play with for a year."

The girl held a can of beer in her hand, with a long sword hanging at her waist, her facial expression unclear.

It was the long-legged girl Nana!

"Nana... you're looking for me?"

Chen Ye's voice was slightly dry.

"Pfft! Hehehehehe..."

The girl instantly understood the reason for Chen Ye's nervousness when she saw his tense appearance.

This man usually appeared scheming and calculating, but now he was so adorable.

The girl laughed heartily, rocking back and forth, her long legs dazzlingly eye-catching.

Chen Ye, however, was creeped out by her laughter.

This woman...

"Hehehehehe..."

"Chen Ye, what's with that expression? You don't think I'm going to silence you because I saw your secret, do you!"

"Hehehe... Yezi, you're too funny!"

"What time is it now? Humanity is almost gone!"

"As Sequence superhumans, who doesn't have a few secrets? You're killing me with laughter!"

"Hehehehehe..."

Chen Ye: "..."

"Don't worry, as Sequence superhumans, everyone has secrets! Captain Chu has them, Iron Lion has them, and I have them too!"

"Your little thing doesn't even count as anything!"

"I just never expected the Mechanic Sequence to be so miraculous!"

The girl held a can of beer in one hand while walking over to size up the delivery tricycle in front of her, clicking her tongue repeatedly.

"Tsk tsk..."

"It used to be a bicycle, and in such a short time, it's already become like this!"

"It seems the Mechanic Sequence is much more powerful than I imagined!"

Chen Ye stood to the side, not knowing what to say.

"If anyone can survive this apocalypse, Chen Ye, you're one of them!"

When the girl said this, her voice sounded somewhat subdued.

But the subdued tone lasted only a second before her voice quickly became bright and lively again, as if she hadn't just said those words.

The girl turned around and looked at Chen Ye with her bright big eyes:

"By the way, where's your alcohol? I'll trade cigarettes for it!"
