Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

[System: Change nickname?]

Inside the RV command center, a pale blue light screen flickered, illuminating Lin Hui's calm face.

"No."

Lin Hui shook his head. Choosing a name was too troublesome, and the name 007 was quite catchy.

He casually closed the editing interface.

[Ding! 007 has automatically joined the chat channel of team number 0010!]

At this moment, the 0010 team channel was being flooded with messages.

"Holy crap! What kind of rules are these?"

"Eliminating the last hundred people every day? That's the lives of ten thousand people in ten thousand cars! System, you have no heart!"

"I don't want to play anymore! I want to go home! Waaah... I just saw a fleshy lump with eyes floating past the car window, it scared the hell out of me!"

"Stop howling! What's the use of crying now? Will it kill the monsters? I don't even know how you guys got through the zombie wasteland."

"Exactly! We're all in this together now, our fates are intertwined. If we don't want to die, we'd better figure something out quickly!"

"Any big shots here? Can someone step in and organize this?"

"Yeah! This fog is too eerie; my visibility is less than 5 meters! If I go alone, I probably won't even know how I died. Could you gather everyone together first?"

Lin Hui didn't speak, he just watched quietly.

Just then, a message with a special gold border (Tier 6 vehicle privilege) popped up, instantly drowning out a lot of noise.

【Wolf Warrior】: Brothers and sisters, quiet down! My vehicle is level 6. Are there any of you with a higher level than me? If not, then I'll temporarily take command.

The moment this message was released, the channel exploded with discussion.

"Wow! A level 6 pro!!"

"I'm so touched! A level 6 pro is on our team!"

"Please help me, master! I can do it, sob sob!"

"Boss Wolf Warrior, from now on I'll follow you. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west!"

Reaching level 6 at this stage makes one an absolute top-tier powerhouse.

Even if some players already have the Tier 7 vehicle upgrade blueprints, the materials cannot be gathered in a short time.

[Wolf Warrior's Blade]: You're too kind. Time is of the essence; there are only about 15 hours left until the first settlement at midnight tonight! We must race against time. To formulate tactics, everyone, please report your vehicle's level first. We need to get a feel for our team's overall strength.

[Invincible Half-Cheat]: Listen to the pro! I'll go first, I'm level 4!

[I go to 8 AM]: Um... sorry, I'm only level 2...

【Monkey King】: I'm also level 2. I had no choice; my previous vehicle exploded in the zombie horde, and I couldn't find a suitable one. This is something I made using a level 1 motorcycle.

Looking at this series of "Level 2" and "Level 3", Lin Hui frowned slightly.

Something seems wrong.

Then, another message caught his attention.

【MechGreymon】: You bunch of idiots are really pathetic! How come you can't even compare to a weak woman like me? I'm level 5!

Even though it's just words, Lin Hui could almost picture a feisty Sichuan girl in his mind.

[Dongfeng Express]: I'm also level 5, armed off-road vehicle.

The counting is still ongoing.

However, as more and more data was collected, the atmosphere in the chat channel gradually changed from "clutching at someone's coattails" to "deathly silence".

"Level 2..."

"Level 3..."

"Level 2..."

About five minutes later.

【MechGreymon】: Holy crap... how come there are so many level 2 and 3 vehicles? Are you all just slackers? How am I supposed to play like this? You're going to kill me here!

【无敌半挂】：遭了！完了！全完了！我刚才统计了一下，我们战队一共97辆载具报了等级。其中2级、3级的载具竟然有80辆！4级载具14辆，5级载具3辆，6级载具……只有战狼大佬那一辆！」

[Invincible Half-Cheat]: Brothers, this data is too distorted! A normal team should have level 5 as its main force! But our main force is only level 2 and 3.

【Monkey King】: What about the other 3 vehicles? Were they killed by monsters? Or by other players? I just checked the public chat, and this time there are not only players from China, but also players from Japan, South Korea, and the United States.

[Dongfeng Express]: Forget about those three cars. Even if they were all Tier 6, it wouldn't save this team! I peeked into the regional chat for a while, and other teams were bringing up dozens of Tier 5 vehicles, some even leading with six Tier 6s. It feels like our team has all the low-tier vehicles in the entire region!

【Monkey King】: No way... How are we supposed to play like this? This is just free wins! Didn't the system say the matchmaking system was "absolutely fair"? How is this fair?!

[Dongfeng Express]: You actually believe what the system says? Ha! When I used to play Honor of Kings, the system also told me the matchmaking system was fair, but what happened? They matched me with four AFK players, making me play against nine! I once had a 30-game losing streak, so bad I wanted to eat my phone!

At this moment, the panic reached its peak.

"We're doomed! This isn't just a hellish start, it's a complete funeral service!"

"I reckon we'll be among the first teams to be wiped out!"

"Is this system targeting us? Why would they do this?"

Just when everyone's morale was about to collapse, "Wolf Warrior Blade" stepped forward once again.

【Wolf Warrior's Blade】: Don't panic, everyone! Even if we're dealt a bad hand, we'll still make it work! Giving up now is just waiting to die! Look at the top right corner of the 'Team Channel,' there's a team radar chart.

[Wolf's Blade]: Team members within 100 kilometers will appear as green dots. We're too scattered right now, making us vulnerable to being picked off one by one. Let's hunt monsters to earn points while simultaneously moving closer together! Let's regroup, stick together, and I refuse to believe we won't survive the first day!

"Okay! I'll do as the boss says!"

"Gather! Gather!"

"I'll drive to the nearest green dot right now!"

A glimmer of hope was rekindled in the channel.

However, Lin Hui had no intention of joining them.

He glanced at the team radar chart in the upper right corner.

On that pitch-black radar image, there was nothing around him, no green dots at all.

This means that he was more than 100 kilometers away from his nearest teammate.

"It's too far."

Lin Hui shook his head. "Besides... there's no need."

In that instant, he understood why this team was so "bad".

The system says that "the matching mechanism is absolutely fair," which is very likely true.

The so-called fairness refers to the fairness of the "total combat power of the teams".

The system assesses a team's combat strength by adding up the scores of all its members.

Lin Hui was rated SSS in the previous round of regular missions, demonstrating exceptional combat power, and he was also rated SSS in the hidden missions.

If someone with such terrifying individual combat power were to be paired with a group of elite teammates, it would be a massacre of the other 9999 teams, which would be unfair.

Therefore, in order to maintain balance.

The system matched Lin Hui with 80 level 2 and level 3 "burdens".

Use 80 bronzes to neutralize this king.

but.

This didn't have much of an impact on Lin Hui.

He was confident that even if he was alone, he could survive in this elimination tournament.

As for protecting those teammates?

Sorry.

On this mist-shrouded land, having a bunch of level 2 and 3 burdens with him would only hinder his actions.

Instead of wasting time babysitting, I'd rather hunt alone.

If you can survive, you've already won by default.

and.

Lin Hui's finger slid across the holographic map, finally settling on a coordinate.

That place seemed to be the location of the "Misty Town" that Zhao Tianba had mentioned.

"My current location..."

"It seems we're not far from the Misty Town."

"Gah—!!"

Sudden.

Several extremely sharp and terrifying screams pierced through the well-insulated carriage walls and entered everyone's eardrums.
