Chapter 1 Highway Survival Game
Welcome to Highway Survival!
If you want to survive, you must remember the rules of the game!
(1) Each player has a second-hand car as a means of transportation, and other materials need to be obtained by themselves.
(2) There will be scattered supply boxes on the road. Please try to collect them. This is the key to survival!
(3) The supply boxes contain not only supplies, but also unknown risks. Please be cautious when handling each supply box.
(4) If you die in any way during the game, you will actually die!
(5) Do not trust other players easily. They may be your allies or they may be interested in your supplies.
(6) Upgrade your vehicle as much as possible. More equipment can help you resist more disasters. Only it can help you reach the destination.
(7) There are more dangers when driving at night, so please choose carefully.
(8) A disaster will occur every seven days. Please make preparations before it happens. This week’s disaster is a double-day sky event.
(9) Close your eyes and silently recite the game panel to get more information.
(10) The elderly, children and other unsuitable persons are not allowed to participate in this game.
Friendly reminder: The speed at a certain moment is nothing. Only those who reach the finish line alive are the ultimate winners.
I wish you all a happy gaming!
Zhang Tuohai frowned and looked at everything in front of him.
A four-lane tarmac road.
There is endless desert on both sides of the road.
The scorching wind carrying yellow sand whipped at the face, making people feel painful.
The scorching sun hangs high in the center of the sky.
The scorching sun made it impossible to open my eyes, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down.
Zhang Tuohai put his hands on the steering wheel, looked at the apocalyptic scene outside and let out a sigh: "Survival game?"
He just had a hangover the night before, but he didn't expect that when he woke up, he would be transported into this strange game.
At this time, he was sitting in a second-hand broken car.
The sun visor was half hanging on it, the dashboard screen was broken, and there was a tear in the seat cover. The whole car looked tattered.
Zhang Tuohai's eyes fell on the gas gauge.
A line of words emerged.
[The remaining fuel volume is 200 units, and the fuel consumption is 1 unit per kilometer. ]
Turn your head and look to the side.
There was a crowbar on the passenger seat.
[A rough crowbar, a good helper to help you open the supply box. Of course, you can also use it to open other things, such as your teammates' heads. ]
There was nothing else in the car except the crowbar.
"Oh, I really collected it all by myself."
The most urgent task is to understand the game mechanism first, and then consider how to survive.
Zhang Tuohai closed his eyes and silently recited the game interface in his mind.
A light blue panel appeared in front of him.
The contents are respectively, World Channel, Regional Channel, Trading Area, Manufacturing, and Private Message.
Zhang Tuohai was the first to enter the world channel.
"Can anyone help me? Where is this place? There is yellow sand on both sides of the road. How can I leave?"
"Do you all have only a crowbar? Do you have anything else? Do you have any water? I'm dying of thirst. I can trade you a crowbar."
"I'm starving, who can give me something to eat?"
Messages slid by one after another, and there wasn't much information except complaints.
Zhang Tuohai noticed that there was a mark next to the send button: Number of speeches today 1.
System prompts: World channel, the number of speeches per day is 1. Every time a disaster is survived, the number of speeches per day will increase by 1. If you want to chat freely, please go to the regional channel.
"Is this restricting players from exchanging information?"
Zhang Tuohai was in deep thought.
Judging from the information revealed in everyone’s speeches, everyone is in the same situation and only has one car. It seems that they can only rely on themselves to survive.
Zhang Tuohai turned his attention to the regional channels .
The interface is similar to QQ group chat, with 5,000 members.
The avatars are all real photos and the names are also real names.
Zhang Tuohai silently glanced at the screen for a while. The content in the message was similar to that in the world channel, all meaningless stuff, and no one had set out to explore yet.
Zhang Tuohai originally wanted to see what others had discovered.
After all, the rules of the game at the beginning said that there are supplies , but there are also dangers.
So, it’s best for someone to try it out.
However, it seems that no one has set out yet.
Shaking his head, Zhang Tuohai continued to study the game panel.
The trading area is a platform for exchanging materials, allowing players to exchange items, and the platform does not charge any handling fees.
However, now it is empty and there is nothing.
Things can be made in the manufacturing area, but there are no recipes here, so players need to provide manufacturing drawings.
The manufacturing drawings can only be obtained from the supply box.
Private messages are like mailboxes in other games and social platforms, allowing one-on-one communication.
After studying all the functions, Zhang Tuohai exited the game panel.
He now has two choices. One is to continue waiting here, waiting for others to find out the news, and then selflessly post it in the channel.
The second is to go out in person to look for supplies.
Choosing the first option is safe and does not require any risk, but it will put your fate in the hands of others.
Choosing the second option involves taking some risks.
Zhang Tuohai prefers to control his own destiny.
Moreover, he had a hangover and his stomach was empty, so he was naturally at a disadvantage compared to others.
He can't afford to waste time.
What's more, there will be a disaster of two suns appearing in the sky seven days later.
If you are not prepared before then, you will die anyway.
“We need to hurry up.”
Zhang Tuohai turned the key and stepped on the accelerator.
The used car drove towards the unknown future.
Although there were no cars on the road and no cameras to capture photos, Zhang Tuohai still kept the speed of the car at 30 miles per hour, scanning the road back and forth, looking for the supply box.
The scenery on both sides of the road remains unchanged, always endless yellow sand, as if it will stretch to the end of the world.
Waves of heat carrying yellow sand blew over, making Zhang Tuohai dry and thirsty.
Zhang Tuohai rolled up the car window and wanted to turn on the air conditioner to cool himself down, but he was shocked to find that this broken car didn't even have an air conditioner.
"miser!"
Zhang Tuohai cursed the organizer under his breath.
Suddenly, a white box not far away attracted Zhang Tuohai's attention.
A one-foot square wooden box painted white was placed in the middle of the road.
“Is this the supply box?”
Zhang Tuohai slowly stopped the car, grabbed the crowbar on the passenger seat, got out of the car carefully, and came to the side of the supply box.
Zhang Tuohai focused his eyes on the white wooden box, and suddenly a line of words appeared.
[Level 1 supply box, the most basic supply box, may contain supplies, but may also be dangerous. ]
Here are the notes from the game.
"It turns out that opportunities and crises coexist. Is it time to test my luck?" Zhang Tuohai thought to himself.
At this moment, an electronically synthesized voice sounded in Zhang Tuohai's ears.
"Prompt system binding successful."
" There is a bottle of mineral water and a piece of whole wheat bread in the wooden box in front . There is no danger, you can open it with confidence."
