Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

23:59

Only one minute remains until the trial.

The cave was deathly silent, with only the occasional sound of an engine idling.

Everyone gave up.

Some people closed their eyes, some buried their heads in their hands and wept, and some took out the last bit of food they had treasured and began to wolf it down.

Since we're going to die anyway, let's just die with a full stomach.

The channel was filled with dying words.

"I hope I won't suffer too much when I'm wiped out, I'm afraid of pain..."

"Me too, should I eat a peanut and end it all? What if the system's erasure is some kind of cruel torture where you're slowly annihilated?"

"Waaaaah..."

"Sigh, if only my senior sister were here with me right now. To die together with her would be such a blessing..."

"What's there to be afraid of! Even if my head falls off, it'll only leave a scar! Eighteen years from now, I'll be a hero again!"

"Do you think that after we die, we'll go back to our original world? And then find out it was all a nightmare? We'll wake up back in our dorm, and our roommates will be telling us to rank up..."

Time passed second by second.

[23:59:45]

Inside a Tier 2 vehicle, a male player who had always secretly loved the girl in the passenger seat finally mustered up his courage and tremblingly grabbed her hand.

"Xiaowen... I... I've always liked you! I've never been in a relationship before, so could I experience what it feels like to be in love for these last ten seconds?"

The girl paused, looked at the countdown which had less than 15 seconds left, and gave a bitter smile:

"Less than 15 seconds left, what can you do?"

……

Goodbye, brothers.

Goodbye to this messed-up world!

Wu Feng sat inside the tank, watching the bright red countdown clock reach zero. Helplessly, he closed his eyes, gripping the control lever tightly, waiting for the moment his consciousness would fade away.

3...

2...

1...

0!

Time is up.

The system notification sound, like the midnight bell, rang precisely in the minds of every player.

[Ding! Day 1 of the Misty Lands Points Challenge has ended. Results are now being tallied.]

[Settlement in progress...]

【当前剩余战队数量9912支，其中0009、0082、0256、0486......等战队积分总数排名为倒数100名，判定为淘汰！】

[Player leaderboard updated!]

[Elimination procedure initiated - execute immediately!]

At that moment, heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the Misty Lands. The members of those bottom-ranked teams, along with their vehicles, were instantly reduced to ashes, completely wiped from this world.

Inside the cave.

The players of Team 0010 kept their eyes tightly shut, their bodies tense, waiting for the cold death to descend.

The male player who confessed his feelings was pouting and leaning towards the girl, tears streaming down his face.

however.

A second passed.

Five seconds passed.

Ten seconds have passed...

The expected excruciating pain did not come, nor did consciousness dissipate.

Instead, I heard the roar of the engine of the car next to me, and the surprised gasp of the Sichuan girl.

In complete silence.

The male player opened one eye, looked at the girl so close to him, and muttered to himself:

"I... I'm not dead??"

The girl was also stunned, blinking, "It seems... I'm not dead either?"

Immediately, the channel erupted in chaos.

"I'm not dead! I'm still breathing!"

"I'm not dead! Hahahaha! I'm still alive!"

"Quick, look at the list of those eliminated that the system just announced! I read it from beginning to end, and 0010 isn't on it! We're not on it!!"

"It's true! I've confirmed it too! We're not there!"

"Thank God! Our ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!"

"My God! There's an even worse team than our 0010 team?! Did those guys drive in in wheelchairs??"

"How lucky! It's a miracle!"

"I've lived another day! Waaaaah..."

The overwhelming joy of surviving the ordeal instantly engulfed everyone.

Some people laughed loudly, some cried loudly, and some frantically pounded on the steering wheel.

The feeling of having just returned from the gates of hell is enough to drive someone mad.

Wu Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his face also filled with disbelief.

How can someone with a score of 59 survive?

This is outrageous! Are all the other players this bad?

Just as everyone was marveling at their incredible luck, a sudden voice rang out in the channel, filled with extreme shock:

"Wait a minute!! Guys! Look at the 'Player Leaderboard'! Our team...our team has someone on the leaderboard!!"

"What!?"

"No way? How could a bunch of weaklings like us make the list?"

"Someone's on the list? Could it be Captain Wu Feng? Or that Tyrannosaurus Rex girl?"

"Look, look!!"

at this time.

Wu Feng didn't even have time to celebrate. He quickly opened the system panel and clicked on the newly refreshed [Player Points Ranking]!

His eyes nearly popped out when his gaze fell on the 78th spot on the list.

It was clearly written above:

78th Place – [Huo Lie (Team 0010): 800]

800 points!!!

Wu Feng gasped.

Keep in mind, all of them worked themselves to the bone and only managed to score 59 points combined, while Huo Lie alone got 800 points?!

What does this mean?

This is simply divine!

"Huo Lie???"

"Who is this?"

"Do we have someone this good on our team? I don't recall ever seeing that."

The channel instantly erupted in chaos.

Everyone opened the team map to check.

"On the team map, all forty of our vehicles are here, all lined up neatly, but I don't see anyone named Huo Lie!"

"I remember now! Two vehicles still haven't returned to the unit!"

Wu Feng looked at the data on the system panel: [Team vehicle survival count: 42/100].

"That means, besides the 40 vehicles we have here, there are two more vehicles still alive! The reason they're not showing up on the map is that they're more than 100 kilometers away from us, beyond the range of the team's radar!"

In an instant, everyone understood.

The reason they didn't die wasn't because of good luck, nor because the other teams were too bad.

It was because there was a big shot named "Huo Lie" who, unbeknownst to them, silently shouldered the burden and carried the entire team on his own!

"Waaaaah... I'm so touched!"

"I never imagined that such a hidden master, a true hidden gem, was lurking in our lousy team!"

"800 points! How many monsters did that take? He must have been smashing through everything in a high-end vehicle, right?"

"Absolutely a big shot! A true big shot!"

"Boss Huo Lie is too capricious! He didn't even contact us, leaving us here writing our wills!"

"That's what a master is like! They work alone, like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail!"

"We forgive you! Boss Huo Lie! If you're reading our chat, please say something!"

"Yeah, bro! How did you do that? Is your vehicle already at level 7? Or do you have some kind of weapon of mass destruction?"

Wu Feng, from "Wolf Warrior's Blade," was so excited he became incoherent:

【Wolf Warrior's Blade】: "Boss Huo Lie! I'm willing to give up my captaincy! You be the captain, and I'll be your deputy! From now on, I'll fight wherever you tell me to!"

......

P.S.: There will be two more chapters later.
