Road Survival, I Have a Hint System!

Zhang Tuohai hung up so much food that it instantly lifted everyone's spirits.

Everyone cheered for Zhang Tuohai's actions.

The normally overlooked food scraps suddenly became a hot commodity, snatched up in less than ten seconds.

There was no choice; only enough oil and salt could replenish energy and prevent people from collapsing under high-intensity labor.

On a normal day, they would just sit in the car and snack on some bread to get by.

But today, most people have to go into buildings to scavenge, and without enough strength, they can't even move good items when they see them.

When they encountered enemies, they didn't even have the strength to fight back.

As a result, many people invested heavily in purchasing food scraps.

This midday transaction brought Zhang Tuohai a large amount of Level 1 supplies, making him a hefty profit.

You could say that more than half of the profits from their morning’s labor went straight to Zhang Tuohai.

This was the advantage of having superior skills.

As long as Zhang Tuohai occupied the top of the supply chain, these players would always be his easy pickings, unknowingly working for him while being grateful.

The world was that surreal.

After acquiring another batch of supplies, Zhang Tuohai took out the city map to review.

At this point, he had obtained three out of five orange supply boxes.

There were still two left: one in the northern district's park area, and the last one in the mining area on the outskirts of the northern city.

The shrinking danger zone was moving northward, and the system suggested that the final safe zone would likely be in the mining area.

Zhang Tuohai decided to heed the system's judgment and head to the park area first.

Having made his plans, Zhang Tuohai started the engine and prepared to set off.

“Commander, do you not trust me, Xiao Ai? T^T Would you like to give me a chance to show my driving skills and assist you?”

“Fine!” Zhang Tuohai smacked his thigh. After getting used to driving himself, he found it a bit strange to rely on an automated system.

“Xiao Ai, head to the park area.”

Zhang Tuohai issued the command.

“Okay, Commander!ヾ(^Д^*)/ Please hold on tight. Destination: park area, driving distance: 20 kilometers, speed: 40 km/h, estimated time: 30 minutes, setting off now. (｀)Ψ”

The car smoothly set off.

At first, Zhang Tuohai was a bit unaccustomed to the autopilot, gripping the steering wheel tightly with his foot on the brake, afraid the car might crash into a wall.

However, after a while, he realized Xiao Ai’s driving was quite impressive.

When it said 40 km/h, it was absolutely true—not a bit off.

Even when turning, it didn’t slow down.

“Really convenient; this will save a lot of effort in the future.”

After driving 10 kilometers, Zhang Tuohai began to adjust.

Now, he could rest one hand on the steering wheel and prop his chin up while enjoying the air conditioning.

Having air conditioning in the hot summer was simply delightful.

“When will there be a fridge?” Zhang Tuohai shook his cup of cola and found the ice had melted.

Cola without ice lacked soul.

He took a sip with regret.

Just as Zhang Tuohai was lamenting, suddenly, a purple second-hand car rushed out from a side alley on the left, heading straight for Zhang Tuohai's car.

Zhang Tuohai was alarmed.

At this distance, there was no time to hit the brakes.

Given the speed and angle, if they collided, the driver’s seat would surely take the most damage.

Was he really going to be hit like this?

Could the alloy frame withstand such an impact?

If it couldn’t, would he get hurt?

Just as thoughts raced through Zhang Tuohai's mind, his business car performed a stunning 180-degree drift, narrowly avoiding the crash.

Not even the paint was scratched.

“Commander, wasn't that drift just beautiful?ヾ(ゞ) Xiao Ai’s skills are pretty good, right? (≧≦)”

Sweating from the close call, Zhang Tuohai wiped his forehead, realizing it was Xiao Ai’s exceptional driving that had saved him.

This made Zhang Tuohai breathe a sigh of relief, fully trusting Xiao Ai’s driving skills now.

At least, with his current driving level, he couldn’t have pulled off that move.

But he was still very angry.

“System, why didn’t you issue a danger warning just now?” Zhang Tuohai questioned.

[After calculations, the approaching vehicle posed no harm to the host. With Xiao Ai's skill level, it could be easily avoided; hence, no warning was issued.]

“So that’s how it is. Only threats get reported? So, if there was a nuclear bomb next to me but it wouldn’t explode, you wouldn’t report it?” Zhang Tuohai asked.

[That’s not entirely accurate, but it can be understood this way.]

“Well, then that’s no problem.”

Zhang Tuohai was fine now, but the purple car that had just emerged was definitely in trouble.

Unable to stop in time, it crashed into a dead tree on the sidewalk.

Although the tree had been dead for years, it still stood there.

The impact shattered the headlights of the purple second-hand car.

“My headlights!”

The driver, a bald man, was furious upon seeing the damage.

He had a fiery temper and immediately pulled out a hatchet from the driver’s seat, swinging it down onto Zhang Tuohai’s hood.

With a loud thud, a big dent appeared in the hood.

If the car hadn't been reinforced with alloy, that blow would have easily penetrated the hood and damaged the internal components.

This infuriated Zhang Tuohai.

He hadn’t even settled the account for almost being run over just now, and now his car had been damaged—this was a serious offense.

Everyone knew that cars were like a second life in this world; without a car, one couldn’t move an inch. This bald man was clearly trying to put him in a deadly situation.

“What do you mean?” Zhang Tuohai asked coldly.

“What are you looking at? I haven’t settled the score with you yet. Get down here, or I’ll kill you!”

The bald man didn’t expect Zhang Tuohai's car to be so sturdy; his full force didn’t even dent the hood.

Moreover, Zhang Tuohai’s vehicle was clearly of much better quality than his.

Greed welled up inside him, and he thought about taking Zhang Tuohai's car for himself.

As for what happened to Zhang Tuohai, it was completely outside his consideration.

After all, it was the end of the world now; there were no rules to bind him. Life or death was just a thought away. Not killing him with the hatchet was already a sign of mercy.

Seeing Zhang Tuohai's somewhat handsome face, he was overtaken by other thoughts.

“Women are boring now; I’ve never tried a man. How about today…”

For a moment, the bald man's gaze toward Zhang Tuohai changed in a strange way.
