Nothing happened overnight.
Lin Hui stretched lazily and woke up on his 0.9-meter-wide bed.
This was his first night in this apocalyptic world.
However, Lin Hui didn't sleep well.
He was in a half-asleep, half-awake state all night.
The first thing Lin Hui did was open the system.
[Time remaining until Grey Mist arrives: 04:54:02]
He had driven for another three hours last night; otherwise, the Grey Mist would have caught up by now.
Although his RV had Infinite Power, the Grey Mist clung to him like a shadow, bringing a certain psychological pressure.
Sigh...
Lin Hui went to the bathroom to wash up.
In the mirror, he saw the face of a young man around eighteen or nineteen, with black tousled hair, clean features that held a hint of aloofness, and an aura of calm and cold tranquility.
After washing up, Lin Hui returned to the driver's seat and made himself a bowl of instant noodles.
While eating, he casually opened the Regional Channel.
After a night of cold wave cleansing, the number of survivors was fixed at [5,000,211].
Another two million people were gone.
Those who survived had clearly realized the brutality of this game.
"Looking to buy Universal Fuel!"
"Looking to buy car tires! My wheels are almost worn out!"
"That monster last night was terrifying; it almost tore my car door open. I must upgrade my car!"
......
Ten minutes later, Lin Hui closed the system.
From everyone's sharing, he learned some information.
For example, killing zombies could drop upgrade blueprints, Universal Fuel, weapons, bread, water, razors, medicines, etc...
Some players had already started teaming up to survive!
There were also multiple crimes...
Of course, in such an apocalyptic world, with no order, the evil in human nature was fully unleashed!
Lin Hui wiped his mouth and started the engine.
Today's goal was clear: collect the [50 units of Steel] and [10 units of Rubber (already have 7 units)] needed to upgrade the RV to Lv.2.
At this moment.
He discovered a problem.
Because he had Infinite Fuel, his driving mileage was in the top tier of this region.
This meant he hardly saw any abandoned cars.
Should he turn back?
Lin Hui drove the RV slowly along the highway.
He was prepared to turn back.
But after driving about twenty kilometers, his gaze suddenly fixed on a barren field to the right of the highway.
Amidst the withered yellow weeds lay a massive object.
It was a crashed military helicopter!
Although the fuselage was broken in two and the rotor was twisted and deformed, the thick fuselage armor and sturdy landing gear were, in Lin Hui's eyes, all gleaming "high-quality special steel"!
"Not bad luck!"
Lin Hui hit the gas, and the RV rolled over the curb and drove over.
At this moment, he noticed a zombie wandering aimlessly beside the helicopter wreckage.
[Target: Agile-type Zombie (Tier 1)]
[Strength: 10] (Note: A healthy adult male is 5.)
[Agility: 20] (Note: A healthy adult male is 5, a top sprinter is 20.)
[Constitution: 20] (Note: A healthy adult male is 5.)
"Agile-type Zombie?"
Lin Hui raised an eyebrow, showing no intention of slowing down.
He didn't plan to hit the zombie but intended to lure it away.
Roar—!
The RV engine roared!
The Agile-type Zombie immediately heard the sound, staring at Lin Hui's RV, and chased after it like it had found a delicious meal.
Its speed was incredibly fast, like a cheetah!

Lin Hui predicted its movements, sharply turned the wheel, and drove in another direction!
Ten minutes later.
He checked the left rearview mirror and saw no sign of the zombie.
Only then did Lin Hui change direction, make a big turn, and head back.
But halfway through.
He noticed something was wrong.
At the same time.
The vehicle panel also refreshed its status.
[Current Status Update]
[Durability: 5% (The tire pressure of all four tires is abnormal, you can only drive another 50 kilometers, immediate replacement is recommended.)]
Lin Hui's face instantly turned grim.
He stuck his head out of the car window and found that all four tires were completely flat, with the rims pressing directly into the dirt.
On each tire, several homemade, razor-sharp triangular steel spikes gleamed coldly.
Road spikes!
Someone had placed road spikes here!
"Got ambushed."
This was definitely not a coincidence!
These triangular spikes were specifically designed to puncture tires, and they were placed in a very tricky spot, right in his parking blind spot.
Someone was faster than him!
Just then, the sound of an engine came from not far away.
Hearing this, Lin Hui's eyes narrowed instantly.
A minute later, a yellow-painted, rather shabby sports car slowly drove out, stopping twenty meters away from Lin Hui.
The car door opened.
Two men and a woman got out.
The leading man looked to be in his thirties, with a scar running from his brow bone to the corner of his mouth, wearing a black leather jacket.
To the left rear was a young woman, about an 8 in looks, but with a stunning figure.
To the right rear was a young man with dyed yellow hair, twirling a car key in his hand.
Yellow Hair walked unhurriedly towards Lin Hui's RV, asking with concern:
"Brother, are you okay? There are lots of zombies around here. I saw you parked here for a long time without any movement, thought something happened to you, so I came to check."
Scarface said nothing, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Hui's RV, a flash of greed passing through them.
That was an RV!
Not only big but also looked very warm!
Compared to their drafty taxi, which was only fast, it was practically a pile of junk.
Lin Hui didn't get out of the car, his right hand seemingly casually in his jacket pocket, but actually gripping the cold handle of the Axe Gun.
"Yeah, got a flat tire."
Lin Hui said expressionlessly, his voice so calm that it was impossible to discern any emotion.
"Oh no, that's terrible!"
Yellow Hair slapped his thigh, looking worried for Lin Hui: "This place is in the middle of nowhere, and the Grey Mist is chasing right behind! Brother, since we met by chance, why don't you ride with us?"
"Ride with you?" Lin Hui raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah! Our car may be old, but at least it can run, right?"
Yellow Hair said while slowly closing in with Scarface.
"We all ended up in this hellhole for no reason, we should help each other!"
Help each other?
Lin Hui looked at the two of them.
Yellow Hair's hand was always behind his back, his steps light but tense, his eyes darting around, constantly checking if there was anyone else inside the RV.
This clumsy acting, Lin Hui had seen countless times in apocalyptic movies in his previous life.
This was a typical carjacking.
First, they puncture your tires with spikes, then pretend to be good guys to save the day. Once you get on their pirate ship, or let your guard down...
That's when you're done for.
"No need."
Lin Hui said calmly, his body slightly tense.
"I can still fix my car."
Hearing this, Yellow Hair's expression changed slightly, and Scarface took a step forward, leaving less than five meters between him and Lin Hui.
"Brother, don't be so stubborn."
Scarface finally spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, with a hint of menace.
"We're all human, only by sticking together can we survive in this hellhole!"
Lin Hui looked at the two of them, a mocking smile suddenly curling at the corner of his mouth.
"No need to act anymore! If I'm not mistaken, these road spikes were placed by you, right?"
As soon as he said this, Yellow Hair's expression froze on his face.
And Scarface's eyes turned completely vicious in an instant.
"Fukc! Since you've seen through it, don't blame us for being ruthless! Don't think that hiding in the RV means we can't do anything to you!"
