Chapter 59 Speed Race
The hen instinctively felt something was wrong, so she took two steps back, turned around and tried to run.
However, the space inside the car is so small, and it is covered with a sun-protection net, so how can it escape?
Before it could turn around, Zhang Tuohai grabbed it.
After taking off the sunscreen net on the hen, Zhang Tuohai casually threw it into the ceramic oven and then closed the lid.
“This way he won’t run around anymore.” Zhang Tuohai clapped his hands in satisfaction.
As for why the hen cursed in the ceramic oven, that was none of his business.
Zhang Tuohai leisurely returned to his seat and continued to eat his smoothie while looking at the scenery.
Xiao Ai started the car and continued driving towards the distance.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Zhang Tuohai clearly felt that the number of supply boxes had decreased.
The car drove for two hours and he didn't see a single supply box.
Fortunately, he has now switched to a hybrid engine and solar charging panels, which allows him to drive completely without consumption. Otherwise, the wasted fuel alone would make him cry to death.
Even so, he was getting a little restless after not getting any results for two hours.
"System, how come I haven't seen a single supply box after driving for two hours? Did another player drive ahead of me and take the supply box away?"
[After testing, no players were found ahead. ]
"There are no players, so what's going on?" Zhang Tuohai frowned.
He lowered his head and entered the regional channel, wanting to see what everyone was doing.
After entering the regional channel, a large amount of information poured out.
"What's going on? I've been driving for two hours and I only found a bottle of mineral water. Is that reasonable?"
"You're not bad, at least you got something. I haven't found anything since this morning, and I wasted gasoline for nothing. I'm so angry."
"I'm even worse off. It was so cold yesterday that I burned some gasoline to keep warm. But today I ran out of gasoline. I was waiting to refill it today, but I didn't find anything. Can anyone lend me some gasoline? I'll return it to him if I find it today."
" What a bullshit! He actually burned gasoline. How can there still be such idiots nowadays? I just managed to get through it covered with a blanket."
Looking at what everyone was saying, Zhang Tuohai frowned.
He felt that something was wrong.
If he was the only one who couldn't find the supplies, it might be because he was out of luck.
If most people can't find supplies, based on his experience in the past few days, there is a high probability that the masterminds behind the highway survival game are going to do something weird again.
As Zhang Tuohai expected, a system announcement was issued at 08:55 game time.
[The limited-time highway racing event is officially launched. 】
[Participants: All players]
【Activity time: 9:00-18:00】
[Rule 1: All players will be directed to a dedicated racing track to compete. ]
[Rule 2: The ranking is determined by the order in which the players arrive at the finish line. ]
[Rule 3: Rewards will be distributed according to the players’ rankings. (The top three players will receive a mysterious self-selected prize. Please strive to get the top three. These prizes can help you survive the double-day sky disaster day.)]
[Rule 4: Players who fail to reach the finish line within the specified time will be stranded in the racing track forever.]
[Rule 5: A small number of supply boxes will be randomly dropped on the racing track. Players are requested to collect them. Perhaps these supply boxes can help you win the race.]
[Rule 6: In the racing track, any behavior of the player is considered reasonable and will not be interfered with. ]
[Countdown to the start of the game: 4 minutes and 59 seconds. ]
Seeing this announcement, Zhang Tuohai frowned.
We just had a regional rally yesterday, and we didn’t expect there would be another speed race today, which simply wouldn’t let them stop.
Zhang Tuohai estimated that his days of quietly collecting supplies like before might not last long.
What worries him most is the rules of the race.
On the one hand, the racing competition sets high rewards at the finish line to lure players to become the first place.
On the other hand, it does not restrict the behavior between players.
That means players can even kill each other.
Some players will even choose to kill all the players they meet in order to ensure they win the game.
Isn't this just a way of making players kill each other?
Zhang Tuohai is sure that after today, the number of players in the regional channel will definitely decrease significantly.
Moreover, after today's fighting, there will definitely be rifts between the players, and it will be difficult to maintain superficial peace.
However, although he understood the intention of these rules, he was powerless to do anything about it.
There is no way. The double disaster day the day after tomorrow is like a sword hanging over the players' heads, forcing everyone to make a choice.
Unlike him, those people were well prepared and could survive this disaster safely.
Many of them even have problems getting enough food to eat.
The prize of being able to spend two days in the sky is too attractive for them.
As expected by Zhang Tuohai, after the event announcement was released, the originally bustling regional channel became quiet and no one spoke anymore.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Tuohai sighed.
He thought for a moment and then shouted on the regional channel: "I've put some car repair kits and weapons on the trading channel. If you need them, buy them yourself. You should always be on guard against others."
Zhang Tuohai said as he hung up 20 hunting spears and 50 car repair kits on the regional channel.
These auto repair kits are priced at double the manufacturing material.
These things were just put up and in less than a minute they were all snatched away.
Seeing the buying speed of these people, Zhang Tuohai couldn't help but be amazed.
It seems that these people still have some stock, and double the car repair kits are available for purchase.
"Boss, do you have any car repair kits left? I was a little slow just now, can you sell me one?"
"Boss, do you have any smaller weapons? The spear is too big and I can't use it."
"Boss, do you have any gasoline? I'm out of gasoline. Can you sell me some? I can exchange it for food."
Soon, Zhang Tuohai received 99+ private messages.
As for these people, Zhang Tuohai never refused them all.
As long as the price is right, trade .
Zhang Tuohai knew that if he didn't hurry up and cut off some of the people here, he would never be able to do so again.
In bits and pieces, Zhang Tuohai sold more than 70 car repair kits, more than 30 weapons, and 300 units of gasoline.
The basic supplies in Zhang Tuohai's hands were greatly enriched, and the space that had just been vacated became more crowded.
"It seems that increasing the space has to be put on the agenda again." Zhang Tuohai looked at the numerous supplies in the car with some helplessness.
【At 9 o'clock, the car race officially begins. 】
Along with the sound of the game system, Zhang Tuohai felt the scenery in front of him change. He appeared on a brand new road. Hundreds of cars were parked beside him.
