The RV drove smoothly through the fog.

A parchment scroll emitting a faint golden light floated quietly in front of Jiang Qingyan.

This is a subordinate contract.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Qingyan picked up the virtual pen and signed her name.

As the golden light flashed and disappeared, a wondrous spiritual connection was established between her and Lin Hui.

Lin Hui said, "Welcome to the company."

"Yes, boss!"

Jiang Qingyan's eyes sparkled.

"So what am I responsible for?"

Lin Hui thought for a moment and said, "Since you specialize in reconnaissance, you can be Sister Liu's observer. Also, you'll be in charge of the planting area on the third floor for the time being."

Liu Xi said, "Qingyan, come upstairs with me and let's hunt monsters!"

"Okay!" Jiang Qingyan nodded vigorously and obediently followed Liu Xi upstairs.

Seeing the four women return to their respective posts, Lin Hui turned his gaze to the mist outside the window, his thoughts drifting to the coconut country player he had just killed.

"Freedom Alliance..."

"Trying to hunt down Chinese players?"

Lin Hui muttered to himself, several familiar faces appearing in his mind.

"I wonder how they are now."

With a thought, Lin Hui opened the system panel and skillfully switched to the friends list.

However, what I saw was a row of gray names.

[Zhuge Mo (Offline)]

【Zhen Haoyun (Offline)】

[Li Xian (Offline)]

【Kang Legend (Offline)】

[Li Feifei (Offline)]

[Zhao Tianba (Offline)]

……

All the names of acquaintances were grayed out, and a striking red system notification appeared below their avatars:

[Note: Due to the rules of the Misty Lands, friend communication/regional chat channels/team channels are only effective within a 500km range of players. Current distance is too far to connect.]

"500-kilometer limit..."

Lin Hui sighed softly.

Zhao Tianba had already told him this information.

But the territory of this misty land is far larger than the zombie wasteland. A communication radius of 500 kilometers is like a wave in the vast gray fog.

This means that once separated, reuniting is extremely difficult.

During this period, if they were to besiege the "Freedom Alliance," their chances of survival would be slim.

Zhuge Mo was already well-prepared, and his strength and strategies were top-notch, so Lin Hui wasn't too worried.

However, the three members of the scrap metal trio—Zhen Haoyun, Li Xian, and Kang Chuanqi—may be considered passable in the first map, but in the second map where elites gather, they can only be considered the bottom of the pack.

Lin Hui let out a sigh of relief. "Hopefully, that lucky guy's fortune will bless them again."

At that moment, he also remembered the player "Starseeker" mentioned by the player from the Coconut Kingdom.

What methods did the other party use to contact so many foreign teams across regions in just a few hours?

Relying solely on regional channels for announcements? Impossible. Regional channels also have distance limitations.

"Unless... he possesses some kind of high-level extraordinary item for cross-regional communication," Lin Hui secretly speculated.

However, he didn't dwell on this issue for too long. Since he couldn't figure it out, he would just catch someone alive and ask them later.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Hui casually opened the [Regional Chat Channel].

The news about the Freedom Alliance has spread.

[Windrunner]: "Damn! Have those foreigners gone mad? I just saw a joint convoy from two countries, and they opened fire on our convoy without saying a word!"

[Night Owl]: "I saw it too! They were shouting 'Freedom Alliance' in the public chat, saying they wanted to wipe out all Chinese teams! Damn, that's so unfair!"

[Great Wall Watch]: "Brothers, we need to stick together! Otherwise, they'll pick us off one by one!"

[Dann]: "This is war, my friend. The weak will only be eliminated."

[Mad Blade]: "Shut up, you dog upstairs! When I find you, I'll twist your head off and use it as a football!"

[Dann]: "Heh, I'll be waiting."

【Cherry blossoms dance wildly in my hometown】: "You guys better hide well, or we'll find you."

As Lin Hui watched the messages flooding the regional channel, his eyes grew increasingly cold.

Fernando was not lying; the purge targeting Chinese players had already begun in full swing.

He closed the regional channel and opened the team channel instead.

Number 0010.

This is the team that Lin Hui was randomly assigned to by the system.

As soon as I entered the team channel, a strong sense of despair hit me.

[Dongfeng Express]: "Did you guys see the regional channel? That damn Freedom Alliance is too arrogant!"

[I'm on 8 AM]: "I saw it too... Sigh, our team's roster is too weak, how are we supposed to compete?"

[The Monkey King]: "They're not giving us a way to survive!"

【MetalGreymon】: "I'm not afraid of them, you idiot!!"

【MechGreymon】: "Those foreign bastards want to devour our 0010 team? They'll have to see if they have the teeth! Even if I die, I'll break two of their teeth! I'll kill one if I see one, and two if I see two!"

Lin Hui looked at the message and couldn't help but chuckle.

This team isn't entirely made up of cowards.

【Wolf Warrior's Blade】: "Tyrannosaurus Girl is right! Don't back down before the fight even starts! In a close contest, the brave will prevail! As long as we unite, we might still have a chance to survive!"

"Wolf Warrior's Blade" has been working hard to boost the morale of his teammates.

【Wolf Warrior's Blade】: "Currently, there are 32 vehicles in the team that have joined me. If the rest are still alive, report their numbers."

【Invincible Half-Hanger】: "1"

[Orange juice with salt]: "1. But I got a flat tire, so I can't go fast..."

Sparse "1"s appeared on the screen.

After a while.

[Invincible Half-Cheat]: "I've done the count, and so far only 62 teams have responded. That means the game has only been going on for 5 hours, and we've already lost more than a third of our members."

The moment this data was released, the team channel fell into complete silence.

[Dongfeng Express]: "There's nothing we can do... The fog here is too eerie, visibility is less than fifty meters. And those monsters are ridiculously strong, any one of them that jumps out is a Tier 3 or Tier 4 elite monster. Our low-level vehicles can't withstand more than a few hits."

[I work at 0 AM]: "Oh no! I'm definitely going to be at the bottom now. Maybe... I should just find a place to wait for death? Anyway, I'm going to die when the points are tallied at midnight, so why bother struggling? I've been on edge the whole way here, and I'm about to have a heart attack."

[Jiangnan]: "And then there's the Freedom Alliance. If we run into them, we'll be tortured to death. It's better to just lie down and stay in the vehicle, and save some dignity for ourselves."

"..."

For a time, feelings of frustration, panic, and despair spread like a plague among most of the 0010 team players.

【MetalGreymon】: "You little bastards! Are you even men?! You're not even dead yet and you're already wailing like this!"

【Wolf Warrior's Blade】: "Don't give up, brothers!! Show the resilience of the Chinese people!!!"

But very few people responded.

Lin Hui shook his head as he watched this scene.

He looked away from the chat window and casually clicked on the [Team Map] in the upper right corner.

"what?"

Lin Hui raised an eyebrow.

He discovered a solitary green dot on the map, moving at an extremely slow speed.

"There's another teammate within a hundred miles?"
