The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

About ten minutes later, the frosted glass door to the bathroom was gently pushed open, and a warm, humid air carrying the scent of shower gel instantly filled the cockpit.

Lin Hui glanced at it subconsciously through the rearview mirror, and then his gaze lingered on it for a moment.

The mechanic with the oily face from before is gone.

Instead, there was a pure and innocent girl wearing a bathrobe.

Since she had no change of clothes, Su Qingqian could only temporarily wrap herself in a white bathrobe that Lin Hui had provided. The bathrobe was obviously too big for her; the sleeves were rolled up several times, revealing a section of her fair forearm, as delicate as a lotus root.

Her once dirty hair was now washed until it was jet black and smooth, hanging wetly over her shoulders, with water droplets still dripping from the ends.

Amidst the rising steam, a delicate, palm-sized face emerged.

Without the grease stains covering her face, her features revealed the gentle charm of a woman from Jiangnan, especially her eyes, which were clear and lively with slightly downturned corners, exuding a natural innocence.

At this moment, after being steamed by hot water, her skin was fair and rosy, like a freshly peeled lychee.

"She's quite good-looking."

Lin Hui silently gave his assessment.

With that kind of looks, in the original world, she would definitely be the kind of person who could collect a whole basket of love letters just by walking around campus.

Su Qingqian seemed a little uncomfortable with the large bathrobe, her hands gripping the collar tightly. Feeling Lin Hui's gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she subconsciously shrank back.

"Um... I'm done washing."

"My old clothes were so dirty, I put them in the washing machine to wash, but they're still not dry..."

Her voice was soft, with a hint of timidity.

"Hmm, not bad, you look like a human being now."

Lin Hui withdrew his gaze, his tone calm, showing no sign of anything unusual.

He casually picked up a blueprint from the passenger seat and tossed it over.

"Now that it's clean, let's get to work. You're an expert in machinery, take a look at this."

Su Qingqian hurriedly took the blueprints, initially thinking they were some kind of indenture, but upon closer inspection, she froze instantly.

It was a complex mechanical structure diagram.

[Vehicle Upgrade Blueprint (Lv.3 → Lv.4)]

[Required Materials:]

【1. RV Lv.3 (Already met)】

[2. High-strength titanium alloy x 200 units]

3. Precision electronic components x 30 sets (already satisfied)

"High-strength titanium alloy?"

Su Qingqian suddenly looked up at Lin Hui, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Upgrading to Lv.4 already requires high-strength titanium alloy? Is this RV really that overkill?!"

Lin Hui shifted gears again, causing the car to vibrate slightly. "Do you know where it is?"

He asked casually, but to his surprise, Su Qingqian took a light breath and spoke.

"Titanium alloy... is rarely found in ordinary wrecked cars. But this area used to be an industrial zone, and I know there's an abandoned aircraft parts factory nearby; they should have some! But..."

She paused, then looked out the window with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"The terrain there is very complex, with collapsed building ruins everywhere, and the zombie density is very high. My tank didn't dare to go deep into the area before; if the tracks got stuck in the rubble, it would be a dead end."

"Complex terrain?"

Lin Hui's lips curled into a wild smile as he lightly tapped the steering wheel with his fingers.

"Complex terrain doesn't exist in my dictionary."

"Hold on tight."

boom--!!!

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Hui suddenly floored the gas pedal!

This 20-ton steel behemoth suddenly unleashed a breathtaking surge of acceleration.

Su Qingqian exclaimed in surprise as she was pressed down into the leather sofa.

"Where are we going? There's a wasteland ahead!!"

Watching the scenery rushing past the window, Su Qingqian gripped the handrail next to the car window tightly.

Less than 500 meters ahead was a continuous cluster of collapsed buildings, with broken walls and rubble interspersed, cement blocks and steel bars piled up like mountains, and a wrecked car mixed in among them.

In this kind of road condition, let alone a motorhome, even a tank would have to carefully avoid it.

But Lin Hui...

Instead of slowing down, he accelerated!

80 yards... 100 yards... 120 yards!

"Lin Hui! The tires will burst! The car will overturn!!" Su Qingqian was so frightened that her face turned pale. She gripped the seatbelt tightly with both hands and closed her eyes.

However, the anticipated violent collision and fatalities did not occur.

Bang! Boom! Crack!

A series of dense, muffled impacts came from my ears. The car was indeed vibrating, but the vibration felt like... a road roller crushing a few small stones.

Lin Hui's RV has "indelible run-flat tires" and "constant grip" that keep it stable on any terrain and never tip over!

Su Qingqian opened one eye.

The next second, her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

In the distance, the concrete wall that would have wrecked an ordinary vehicle and the abandoned car blocking the road appeared as fragile as foam in the face of the RV's menacing alloy spiked ramming head!

An SUV that was blocking the middle of the road was hit by Lin Hui and sent flying more than ten meters away, tumbling and breaking apart in the air.

A half-collapsed brick wall was smashed through by the RV, and bricks flew everywhere, hitting the bulletproof glass of the vehicle window with a crackling sound.

Lin Hui, sitting in the driver's seat, held the steering wheel with one hand, looking as calm as if he were strolling in his own backyard.

"This RV... its balance is way off the charts!!"

As a mechanic who is proficient in vehicles, Su Qingqian felt that her worldview had been shattered.

She has tanks.

But even her Type 59 tank had to be handled with extreme caution when encountering such ruins, for fear that the tracks would break or it would get stuck in a ditch.

But this man...

He was driving a campervan and playing bumper cars in the ruins?!

"What are you standing there for?"

Just as Su Qingqian was questioning her life, the car suddenly stopped.

Lin Hui pointed to the wrecked car outside the window, which he had crashed into and whose chassis and parts were exposed.

"I'll handle the clearing of the diagrams, you handle the disassembly."

"Go down and dismantle all the useful materials for me. Since you specialize in machinery, you should be quick, right?"

Su Qingqian looked at the mess outside the window, then at Lin Hui's nonchalant expression, and couldn't help but think to herself:

Is this guy a monster? I wouldn't even dare drive my tank like that!

But despite her complaints, her current status is that of a "working person".

"Okay!"

Su Qingqian wrapped her bathrobe tighter, picked up her toolbox, and got out of the car.

The next few hours became the most unforgettable "work experience" of Su Qingqian's life.

Lin Hui drove recklessly ahead, carving out a path.

Along the way, if Su Qingqian saw any abandoned vehicles, she would get out and use her [Machinery] specialization to disassemble the key parts at lightning speed.

"Dismantle the armored truck on the left!"

"There's a machine tool in that half-collapsed factory building on the right. Go check if it has any titanium alloy!"

"Hurry up, the zombies are coming!"

If any foolish zombies swarmed around, Lin Hui wouldn't even bother firing. He would simply use a dragon tail swing, employing the terrifying "meat grinder" on the rear wheels, to instantly shred the zombie horde into a rain of blood.

Su Qingqian sat in the passenger seat, watching the black RV move through the horde of corpses as if it were nothing. The shock she felt was beyond words.

That's too violent.

I feel so safe.

This overwhelming tyranny made her, a girl who had been cautiously trying to survive in the apocalypse for four days, experience for the first time what it meant to live in a "world of the strong."
