Road Survival, I Have a Hint System!

“What’s going on? Why are there so many cars?”

Seeing the vehicles around him, Zhang Tuohai immediately felt that something was off.

“Could it be that these cars are all about to set off together? If so, does that mean this is the Quality Square? It will soon lead to a brawl!”

[The racing competition has officially begun, and there’s only one rule: survive to reach the finish line.]

Just as the game's system voice finished, two burly men got out of the car behind Zhang Tuohai. These men were bare-chested and held precision steel hatchets in their hands. As soon as they got out, they began smashing the windows of a nearby car with their axes.

“Open the door and get out! Hand over everything inside the car, or I’ll kill you!”

The owner of the nearby car seemed to be so scared that he was dumbstruck, keeping the windows shut and not daring to make a sound.

“Damn it, you think you can hide by not speaking?” One of the burly men cursed, raising his precision steel hatchet and smashing it against the car window.

Crash!

The car’s glass shattered into pieces.

The burly man opened the car door through the hole in the window and roughly dragged out a woman with long hair.

“Damn it! You thought you could play deaf by not opening the door, huh? Hand over the stuff quickly, or I’ll stew you and eat you!”

As he spoke, the burly man pressed the hatchet against the woman’s neck.

The other burly man quickly added, “Big Brother, this woman isn’t bad-looking. It’s been several days since I had meat; can we have some fun before eating?”

As he said this, he began unbuckling his belt, clearly unable to wait.

Hearing their conversation, the long-haired woman immediately burst into tears. “Please don’t kill me! I’ll give you everything in the car, just spare me!”

“What are you crying for!” The man with the precision steel hatchet frowned and slapped the long-haired woman hard across the face.

“Shut up! If you cry again, I’ll kill you right now!”

Seeing this scene, Zhang Tuohai’s face darkened. He opened his car door and raised his Remington.

“Let her go!”

In a situation where there wasn’t much danger, Zhang Tuohai was still willing to step in and stop it.

Moreover, helping this woman was also helping himself.

If no one intervened while these two burly men were committing violence, more and more people would imitate them, robbing or even killing players around them.

That would be disastrous.

Although Zhang Tuohai could use his gun to protect himself, other players could not.

They didn’t have enough weapons to defend themselves.

If that happened, too many players would die or be injured, which would be extremely unfavorable for Zhang Tuohai.

He would still protect these “chives” and allow them to grow strong.

At least until he wielded the sickle, they couldn’t die.

Seeing Zhang Tuohai standing up, the burly man with the precision steel hatchet initially thought he was just a meddling fool. He was about to curse when he saw the Remington in Zhang Tuohai's hands, and his momentum instantly deflated.

The burly man quickly raised his hands and smiled broadly. “Good sir, I didn’t recognize your greatness. We offended you just now. Please forgive us. We know the rules of the road, and once we finish robbing, there will definitely be something for you as a token of respect. How about this—I have half a box of mineral water left; let me offer it as an apology for now. We can sort out the rest afterward, alright?”

The burly man with the precision steel hatchet said.

However, one of his underlings seemed skeptical.

“Big Brother, don’t be so scared. What if that’s a toy model? Don’t let him intimidate us.”

Bang!

Before the underling could finish his sentence, Zhang Tuohai pulled the trigger at him.

The gun was aimed directly at his head.

At close range, the underling’s head was smashed apart like a watermelon by the number 12 buckshot.

The headless corpse swayed a couple of times and then collapsed to the ground.

“What did you just say?” Zhang Tuohai asked, digging in his ear and once again aiming the gun at the burly man with the precision steel hatchet.

“I was just talking nonsense! Whatever you say, big brother!”

The burly man threw away his precision steel hatchet and raised both hands.

The woman from earlier slumped to the ground.

“How many people have you killed before?” Zhang Tuohai asked coldly.

“Just three! Not a single one! We’re law-abiding citizens; how could we kill anyone? It’s all a misunderstanding, really!” the burly man said with a smile.

“Is that so?” Zhang Tuohai walked over to the burly man’s car and glanced inside. He noticed some supplies piled up and a bundle of clothes stuffed under the seat. Beneath the clothes was a red high-heeled shoe.

Bang!

Zhang Tuohai pulled the trigger.

The burly man's head exploded into a mess.

Bright red blood splattered everywhere.

The long-haired woman nearby couldn’t help but scream.

“Ah—”

“Shut up!”

Zhang Tuohai pointed his gun at the woman, and she immediately covered her mouth with her hands, looking at him in terror.

Zhang Tuohai fired two shots into the sky and then coldly surveyed the surrounding vehicles.

The entire area instantly fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

“I want to make one thing clear today: no random robbing is allowed! If I see it, it’s one word—kill!”

Bang bang bang!

After saying this, Zhang Tuohai fired three more shots into the sky.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Everyone should be on their way. Remember, no robbing! Otherwise, even if you reach the finish line, I will kill you. Just wait and see!”

Bang bang bang!

After saying this, Zhang Tuohai directly got back into his car. “Xiao Ai, let’s go.”

The car drove forward, and the vehicles in front of him swiftly made way, as if they were sending away a plague god. Not a single person dared to speak.

Zhang Tuohai glanced back at the stationary convoy and sighed.

He didn’t know how much deterrent power his words had, but he had done everything he could. As for how much self-control these “chives” had, only heaven knew.

To preserve as many “chives” as possible, he had done his best; the rest was left to fate.

Zhang Tuohai drove off into the distance.

As for the “chives,” he could help them out along the way, but the primary goal was to win the competition and claim the grand prize.

That was the most important thing.

After Zhang Tuohai left, the long-haired woman who had been sitting on the ground was the first to react. She scrambled back into her car and stepped on the gas, chasing after Zhang Tuohai.

She knew that while Zhang Tuohai’s words had intimidated these people for a moment, once she was alone, someone would surely take a risk.

Perhaps the only way to safely navigate this competition was to follow Zhang Tuohai.

Seeing the long-haired woman leave, several others with the same thought also sped away.

The remaining people, witnessing this, quickly got into their cars and drove off.

Only a few people with different intentions remained behind.
