Surviving on the highway, I have a best friend who was reborn.

Chapter 18 Forming a Team
Not long after, the number of people on the map decreased by several dozen.

[Current number of players on the map: 39946/40000]

Yuanqiao didn't feel anything about the disappearances; death was too normal. He was just surprised that someone had already met with bad luck so early in the game.

It wasn't that she was indifferent, but rather that she was used to it. Before entering the road survival game, Earth had already leaked like a plug.

Often, large areas of people disappear to participate in all sorts of strange and different types of survival games. There are also wilderness survival live streams. Yuanqiao really enjoys watching his favorite idols in games, who are decisive, ruthless, and invincible.

The world was thrown into turmoil for a long time before things returned to normal.

Yuanqiao's parents disappeared when she was in her second year of high school. They disappeared into some kind of survival game. Later, she and her best friend Nanxi supported each other. The government's special affairs bureau provided for the tuition and living expenses of special orphans like them.

The reason why everyone in the chat lobby is so accepting of survival games is because they were already mentally prepared for the day they would be chosen, and some people were even looking forward to it.

When her best friend suggested participating in a survival game, she listened carefully to the strategy guide, but the national news never mentioned the resurrected aspect.

"Finally, the servers have merged. I'll try my best to survive. I can see Nanxi and ask her about the details after the second merge."

Considering that the condition for merging districts is that the number of people in each district must be too small, Yuanqiao couldn't bring herself to deliberately cause a large number of deaths. Although she lacked empathy, she wouldn't do something so cruel.

"Left, right, left..."

I picked a small pink flower from somewhere, and let the petals determine its direction.

Driving to the left, resource chests are very rare, and there are currently no dangers or monsters.

Yuanqiao is not a particularly patient person. She drove cautiously and with a tense mind for most of the day, and the lack of sufficient supplies made her a little irritable and uneasy.

"boom--"

An explosion came from afar, startling Yuanqiao, though the sound was not very clear.

After a moment's thought, she felt it was necessary to go and take a look.

I took a long detour to make a U-turn; I'm still a bit short of experience to become a seasoned driver.

After driving for about 20 kilometers, I used a new energy battery and arrived nearby.

There are three vehicles ahead, all level 3 vehicles, and a man and a woman are having a “friendly conversation” in the open space next to the vehicles.

Yuanqiao's arrival made them stop what they were doing and look over warily.

Unsure of the other party's situation, Yuanqiao didn't get out of the car. Instead, he honked the horn and shouted loudly:

"Hello, I just came to ask for directions, please don't fight yet."

I observed them when I drove over. They weren't fighting to the death; they were exchanging blows and were definitely sparring.

They probably know each other.

"I just heard an explosion and thought there would be people around here, so I came to check it out."

One of the male players, with a very familiar smile, replied:

"Haha, it's a young lady! I also came here after hearing the explosion."

The other girl, who had a slightly more heroic appearance, looked at Yuanqiao alone and felt a little relieved.

She had just encountered a weirdo who was harassing her, and she dealt with him. Before she could even rest for a few minutes, she ran into a junior from her school. The junior was a combative and talkative guy, and as soon as he saw her, he came up with two ideas.

……

After talking, the group became somewhat acquainted.

Yuanqiao, who had been hiding the dagger in his sleeve, took it out to cut pork after learning that they were both students at the survival elite school established by the Special Affairs Bureau.

These two were upright and honest, and Yuan Qiao, who had previously received assistance from the Special Affairs Bureau, still held some trust and positive feelings towards them. The pork was loot An Muya obtained after dealing with the male player who had harassed her; the other player's car had quite a lot of supplies.

After making do with the supplies, since meat doesn't keep well, Gao Leyu suggested having a barbecue for lunch.

"How about we form a temporary team? The three of us seem to have a special connection."

Ever since getting off at Yuanqiao, the male player, Gao Leyu, has been chattering non-stop, acting very familiar with everyone.

Anmuya didn't speak, but nodded. The three of them sat around the fire grill, turning the meat over from time to time.

"Okay, I may not be very skilled, but I'm very lucky!"

Yuanqiao ate a piece of grilled meat.

"Of course, if we were unlucky, we wouldn't have run into two such kind people like us. You're too careless."

Gao Leyu quickly grabbed the piece of meat that was almost cooked, and after chatting with Yuan Qiao, he learned that she was a weak girl and gave up the idea of ​​fighting.

"Hey, can you eat less? I'm still not full!"

An Muya watched the two bickering, her eyes full of amusement. She wasn't a talkative person, but she enjoyed lively atmospheres.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they discussed where to go next, and in the end, Yuanqiao chose a direction.

Disassemble the extra vehicle as much as possible and collect all the recyclable materials. Anmuya's vehicle is camouflage green, and it leads the way. The color of the player's vehicle seems to echo the owner's personality.

Yuanqiao followed behind in his cute orange car, looking at the red sports car driving in the middle. "That bright red is so flashy and beautiful," he thought, "I'm envious."

Working together is safe, but finding supplies is too slow.

The first day's objective is still to find various survival supplies and weapons to deal with unexpected situations.

None of the three were the type to be coy or need company, so after discussing it, they each searched in a different direction and planned to meet up before dark.

The three of them had found almost all the resource boxes in this area, and Guangyuan Bridge alone had a considerable amount of loot:
[Grenade x2, Vehicle Repair Card x4, 500ml Mineral Water x6, Bread x7, Energy Battery x11, Pork Bun x2, Wound Spray x1]

The vehicle repair card was small, so Yuanqiao put it in the pocket of his sports jacket and zipped it up.

How come you have so many supplies?

Gao Leyu was both surprised and envious, and came closer to look at him from the left and right.

"I found 6 supply boxes, but the food and water were pitifully scarce, and there were only 2 energy batteries!"

"Then I'll share some with you," Yuan Qiao said generously, taking out bread and water and placing them in Gao Leyu's hands.

After thinking about it, I decided not to take the energy battery.

"Haha, our Yuanqiao beauty is beautiful inside and out! Beautiful lady, I want to eat that pork bun~"

Gao Leyu didn't just sit around doing nothing; he shared all sorts of supplies he had collected with Yuan Qiao.

Yuanqiao rolled his eyes, gave him one, and when he handed the bread to Anmuya, the other party refused to accept it.

"Thank you, Yuanqiao, but no need. You can keep it. I've found some food."

After saying that, she took out a bulletproof vest and gave it to Yuanqiao.

"Wear this. Based on the analysis of the supplies we've obtained, there might be battles or other competitive situations in the later stages of the game. Protect yourself."

Yuan Qiao was stunned; he hadn't expected Miss Mu Ya to have such a gentle side.

"He looks like he's wearing level three armor." Yuan Qiao and Gao Leyu exchanged a glance, confirming that they had played the same game before.
