Welcome to the road survival game!

If you want to survive, you must remember the rules of the game!

(1) Each player has a second-hand car as a tool of mobility, and other materials need to be obtained by themselves.

(2) There will be material boxes scattered on the road. Please collect them as much as possible. This is the key to survival!

(3) There are not only supplies in the supply box but also unknown risks. Please face every supply box with caution.

(4) If you die in any way in the game, you will truly die!

(5) Don't trust other players gullibly, 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 withstand more disasters. Only it can help you reach the endpoint.

(7) Driving at night will encounter more dangers, so please choose carefully.

(8) A disaster will occur every seven days. Please make preparations before the disaster occurs. This week's disaster is a double-day volley.

(9) Close your eyes and meditate on the game interface to get more advice.

(10) The elderly, children, and other unsuitable persons will not participate in this game.

Friendly reminder: The speed of the moment is nothing. Only the person who reaches the finish line alive is the final winner.

Happy gaming everyone!

... 

Zhang Tuohai frowned and looked at everything in front of him.

A four-lane asphalt road.

There is endless desert on both sides of the road.

The scorching wind carried the yellow sand and slapped it on the face, making people feel pain.

The scorching sun hung high in the center of the sky.

The scorching sunshine made it hard for people to open their eyes, and big beads of sweat kept rolling down.

Zhang Tuohai put his hands on the steering wheel, looked at the apocalyptic scene outside, and let out a breath: "Is this a survival game?"

He just had a hangover all night, and he didn't expect to wake up and be transported into this strange game.

At this time, he was sitting on a second-hand broken car.

The sun visor was half-suspended, the dashboard screen was shattered, the seat cover had a crack, and the whole car looked tattered.

Zhang Tuohai's eyes fell on the gasoline meter.

A line of words emerged.

[The remaining fuel level is 200 units, and 1 unit is consumed per kilometer.]

He turned and looked to the side.

There was a crowbar on the passenger seat.

[A rough crowbar is a good helper to help you open the supply box. Of course, you can also use it to open other things, such as the heads of teammates.]

There was nothing else in the car except the crowbar.

"Oh, I really collected it all by myself."

The top priority is to understand the mechanics of the game first, and then think about how to survive.

Zhang Tuohai closed his eyes and thought about the game screen 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 took the lead in entering the World Channel.

"Can anyone help me? Where is this place? There is yellow sand on both sides of the road. How should I leave?"

"Do you all just have a crowbar lying around? Is there anything else? Is there any water? I'm dying of thirst. I can trade the crowbar."

"I'm starving, who can give me something to eat?"

Messages slid by one after another, and there wasn't much information other than complaints.

Zhang Tuohai noticed that there was a mark next to the send button: Number of speeches today 1.

System prompt: In the world channel, the number of speeches per day is once. Every time a disaster is experienced, the number of speeches per day is increased by 1. If you want to chat freely, please go to the regional channel.

"Is this restricting players from exchanging information?"

Zhang Tuohai pondered.

According to the information revealed in everyone's speech, everyone is in the same situation. They all only have one car. It seems that they can only rely on themselves to survive.

Zhang Tuohai turned his attention to the regional channel.

The interface is similar to the QQ group chat, with 5,000 members.

The avatars are all photos of real people, and the names are also real names.

Zhang Tuohai silently glanced at the screen for a while. The content of the message was similar to that of the World Channel. They were all useless things. No one had set out to explore them yet.

Zhang Tuohai originally wanted to see what others had discovered.

After all, the rules of the game at the beginning stated that there are supplies in the supply box, and there are also dangers.

So, it's best for someone to test it out.

However, it seems that no one has set out yet.

Shaking his head, Zhang Tuohai continued to study the game interface.

The trading area is a platform for material exchange that allows players to exchange things. The platform does not charge handling fees.

However, now there is nothing.

Things can be made in the manufacturing area, but there are no recipes here and players need to provide manufacturing drawings.

Manufacturing blueprints can only be obtained from supply boxes.

Private messages are just like the mailboxes of various other games and social platforms, allowing one-to-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 post it in the channel selflessly.

The second is to set out in person to find supplies.

Choosing the first point is very safe and does not require taking any risks, but it will leave 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 came here with a hangover, and now his stomach is empty, so he is naturally at a disadvantage compared to others.

He can't afford it.

What's more, there will be a double-day volley disaster seven days later.

If you can't prepare before then, you will still die.

"It's time to hurry up."

Zhang Tuohai turned the key and stepped on the accelerator.

Second-hand cars are heading towards the unknown.

Although there were no cars on the road and no cameras ready to take pictures, Zhang Tuohai still controlled the speed at 30 mph and scanned the road back and forth, looking for the supply box.

The scenery on both sides of the road remains unchanged. It is always endless yellow sand, which seems to stretch to the end of the world.

Waves of heat waves carried the yellow sand, making Zhang Tuohai dry and thirsty.

Zhang Tuohai rolled up the car window, intending to turn on the air conditioning to cool down a bit, but was shocked to find that there wasn't even air conditioning in this old car.

"Cheapskate!"

Zhang Tuohai muttered curses under his breath at the organizer.

Suddenly, a white box not far away attracted Zhang Tuohai's attention.

A one-foot-square wooden box painted white was placed in the center of the road.

"Is this the supply box?"

Zhang Tuohai slowly stopped the car, grabbed the crowbar from the passenger seat, carefully stepped out of the car, and came to the side of the supply box.

Zhang Tuohai focused his eyes on the white wooden box, and a line of words suddenly appeared.

[Level 1 supply box, the most basic supply box, may contain supplies, but may also contain some dangers.]

This is a note from the game.

"Sure enough, opportunities and crises coexist. Is it time to fight for character?" Zhang Tuohai thought to himself.

At this moment, an electronically synthesized voice sounded in Zhang Tuohai's ears.

"Hint system binding successfully."

"There is a bottle of mineral water and a piece of whole wheat bread in the wooden box in front. There is no danger and you can open it with confidence."
