Road Survival, I Have a Hint System!

After most people had left, a small figure quietly slipped down from a car. He looked left and right, and seeing that no one noticed him, he stealthily ran towards the big man’s vehicle and started rummaging through the supplies left behind.

Seeing that it was safe, others also got out of their cars and walked towards the vehicle.

Soon, seven or eight people surrounded the car, blocking it completely. Some grabbed basic materials, some snatched food, and others took water. A few even took a pair of pliers and attempted to dismantle the vehicle.

The bald giant hadn’t left much behind; otherwise, he wouldn’t have openly robbed in the public square.

Before long, the supplies were completely divided among a few people.

What little supplies were left became even scarcer as a few people shared them. Many felt that their haul was insufficient and began to eye the supplies in their companions' hands.

“Give me the water,” a fat man snatched a bottle of mineral water from the small guy’s hands.

“Why should I? I found it first! Give it back!” The small guy protested, trying to reclaim it.

However, he was no match for the fat man. In just a few moves, he was pushed to the ground.

With the water in hand, the fat man waved his fist threateningly: “Kid, you better get lost, or I’ll kill you!”

After threatening him, the fat man turned to head back to his car.

Seeing the fat man’s back, the small guy’s face turned red.

On one hand, he was upset that the water he had found with such difficulty was taken away. On the other hand, the mocking gazes from the people around him made him feel his pride was insulted.

The small guy felt a pain in his palm. He looked down and saw that his hand had been cut by a piece of broken glass.

At the same time, he caught sight of the dagger strapped to his waist.

His eyes turned fierce: “Damn it! In the past, you all bullied me and looked down on me. Back then, it was a lawful society, and I couldn’t do anything to you. Now it’s the apocalypse, and everyone’s on their own. What do I have to fear? If you dare touch me, I’ll kill you!”

Clenching his teeth, the small guy suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the fat man's back.

The fat man had not anticipated that the small guy would retaliate. Taken by surprise, he was stabbed through and felt a chill run down his spine.

“You... you dare...” The fat man trembled as he pointed at the small guy, disbelief in his eyes.

He couldn't believe that a small guy would actually dare to resist and even kill him!

“Why do you all keep pushing me, bullying me? I’m going to kill you!”

With bloodshot eyes, the small guy seemed mad, continuously stabbing the fat man’s body with the dagger.

The people around were frightened by the small guy’s behavior and instinctively stepped back.

Some, seeing the situation was going south, immediately returned to their cars and fled.

The remaining people also grabbed their belongings and ran.

Only the small guy remained, continuing to stab at the fat man's corpse.

After an unknown amount of time, the small guy finally came to his senses. He looked at his hands covered in blood, then at the fat man’s incredulous corpse, and suddenly burst into laughter.

“I want to see who dares bully me from now on!”

The small guy swayed as he stood up, one hand slapping against the fat man’s car.

[Found an unattended vehicle. Do you want to extract the car's core?]

“Car core? What’s that?”

The small guy tried to extract it. After some struggle, he finally understood how to use the car core, and he also upgraded his own car to level 2.

Looking at the maximum speed limit of 200 mph, the small guy’s mind started racing.

He remembered that the original maximum speed of the car was 100 mph.

This meant he could chase them at double their speed!

Doesn’t that mean he could easily win the racing competition?

Wait!
There’s only one prize in the racing competition; who knows what it will yield?
How could the players on the road be wealthy?
Moreover, there’s a player in the channel who sells a large amount of food and fresh water every day. If he robs him, wouldn’t he directly become rich?

Thinking of this, the small guy felt like a fire ignited in his heart, unable to control himself.

“Hmph, just wait! I’ll catch each of you and squeeze every bit of resource from you!”

The small guy clenched his teeth and pressed down on the accelerator, chasing forward.

Unknowingly, he had become the prey in someone else's eyes and couldn’t help but sneeze.

“Ah-choo!”

Zhang Tuohai wiped his nose: “Xiao Ai, is the air conditioning set too low?”

“Commander, the current air conditioning temperature is 24 degrees, theoretically the best human comfort temperature.”

“Raise it by two degrees.” Zhang Tuohai rubbed his nose.

“Understood!”

“By the way, what’s the car’s speed now?” Zhang Tuohai asked.

“Commander, currently cruising at a normal speed of 40 mph,” Xiao Ai replied.

“There aren’t many supply boxes on this road, just occasional airdrops. Don’t drive so slowly; increase it to 80 mph to create some distance from those behind us. Even if we encounter problems on the way, we’ll have time to maneuver.”

Zhang Tuohai was worried about potential issues on the road, so he ordered Xiao Ai to speed up.

As for the airdrops that might appear on the road, he wasn’t too concerned.

He didn’t believe airdrops would yield anything too valuable, just food, water, gasoline, and the like.

He didn’t need these for now.

What he needed to focus on were the rewards for the top three positions.

The system had stated that the rewards would help them survive the disaster day of the Double Sun Rising.

Needless to say, their value would be extremely high.

Even if he ultimately didn’t need it, he could sell it for a high price.

In any case, it wouldn’t be a loss.

“Okay, Commander!” Xiao Ai increased the speed, and the car gradually accelerated to 80 mph.

I must say, Xiao Ai drove very steadily. From 40 mph to 80 mph, it was still incredibly smooth; even the ice cubes in Zhang Tuohai’s cup of cola didn’t noticeably wobble.

“Is there a music player? Play a fitting song.” After looking out the car window for a while, Zhang Tuohai felt a bit bored.

“Sorry, Commander, the music playback module hasn’t been installed yet.” Xiao Ai said apologetically.

“Forget it then.” Zhang Tuohai shook his head and opened the regional channel, ready to see what information was available.

As soon as he opened the regional channel, a flurry of messages flooded in.

“Help! Is there anyone who can help me? Someone is chasing me!”

“Who’s chasing you, a beast?”

“No, it’s a player! He just killed my friend in front of me and is now chasing me in a car. Can anyone come save me?”

“Accelerate! Increase your speed to 100 mph; that way, he won’t be able to catch up to you.”

“I’ve already increased it to 100 mph, but that guy’s speed is much faster than mine! He’s getting closer! He’s about to catch me!”
