Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

Five minutes later.

Lin Hui led the four women to the central square.

The dried-up fountain in the center of the square was surrounded by fifty or sixty townspeople.

They mostly wore old suits or long skirts, their faces were numb and their eyes were empty, and they gathered in twos and threes.

"Brother Lin! Over here!"

Upon seeing Lin Hui, Chen Ye immediately squeezed through the crowd, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

Lin Hui led his men over, but his gaze fell on the young man next to Chen Ye.

The young man was wearing an ill-fitting police uniform, was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, had a buzz cut, and a very sunny appearance.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with excitement, admiration, and even a hint of nervous helplessness as he looked at Lin Hui.

"Brother Lin, this is Chen Yi!"

Chen Ye grabbed the young man and excitedly introduced him, "The fog had just lifted when he came knocking on my door! I thought I was dreaming!"

Chen Yi took a deep breath, and like a devoted fan meeting his idol, he even stammered, "Hello... Brother Lin!"

Although he was a few years older than Lin Hui, he called him "Brother Lin" sincerely and without any psychological burden.

joke!

This is a legendary figure from District C-996!

That ruthless guy who drives around in his RV, crushing all the guilds and dungeon bosses!

I finally met him in person today!

Lin Hui looked at the excited young man in front of him and nodded slightly:

"Since you're a police officer in this town, that's perfect."

He got straight to the point, "I have a few questions for you, about the rules of this town, and..."

however.

Lin Hui hadn't finished speaking.

A heart-wrenching cry interrupted the conversation.

"Let me go! Let me go!!"

"We're not monsters! We're players! Help!!"

"Fuck! Don't touch me!!"

Lin Hui turned his head and looked over, his pupils shrinking slightly.

The crowd parted automatically, creating an opening, and a group of uniformed police officers escorted several people over.

Those were Raymond's gang.

Yesterday outside the town, there was a group of more than twenty people, all of them arrogant and domineering, and they even wanted to take a share of Lin Hui's supplies.

but now……

Only five are left.

Moreover, three of these five people were perfectly normal, no different from the ones I saw yesterday.

And the other two...

Seeing the miserable state of the two people, Su Qingqian and the others standing behind Lin Hui couldn't help but gasp.

They can hardly be called "human" anymore.

They were tightly bound to an upright wooden stake by two thick hemp ropes, and the black sheets that were originally draped over their bodies were roughly torn off by a police officer.

"hiss……"

The townspeople who were watching, though seemingly used to it, still instinctively gasped in disgust and fear, taking a few steps back.

The two players' skin had an eerie grayish-brown color, like the bark of a dead old tree.

This "bark" is not a surface covering, but grows from their flesh!

Even more terrifying, tiny twigs with tender green leaves sprouted from their eye sockets, nostrils, and even mouths!

The branches were still twitching slightly, as if they were drawing life force from their host.

"Let...let me go..."

On one of the men's faces, which had become wooden, his mouth opened and closed with difficulty. His cloudy eyes were filled with tears of despair.

Unfortunately, the tears that streamed down my cheeks were instantly absorbed by the dry tree bark.

"Is this... tree scale disease?"

Su Qingqian covered her mouth, her face turning pale.

This process of a living person turning into a plant caused her physical discomfort.

"no."

Standing to the side, Chen Yi lowered his voice and explained with a grim expression, "These are symptoms of being corrupted by demons. They will soon become demons themselves."

"A demon?" Lin Hui murmured, watching the scene with cold eyes.

Just then.

At the front of the police line, Officer Carl, who had previously gone to fetch Lin Hui, quickly walked over to a middle-aged man standing by the fountain and whispered a few words to him.

The middle-aged man was wearing a crisp, dark blue sheriff's uniform with a gold badge on his chest. He was tall and had a stern face.

He is the Lyon police chief.

After listening to Carl's report, Sheriff Lyon slowly raised his head, his sharp, hawk-like eyes piercing through the crowd and landing precisely on Lin Hui.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Lin Hui did not evade the question; he simply calmly adjusted his monocle.

Sheriff Lyon gave Lin Hui a deep look, then nodded slightly as a greeting.

Then he turned around and faced everyone in the square.

His voice was loud and authoritative, carrying an unquestionable sense of judgment:

"Quiet!"

The once noisy square fell silent instantly.

Inspector Lyon pointed coldly at Raymond's two half-demonized accomplices:

"These two people ignored the town's curfew rules, encountered a demon, and were thus corrupted by it!"

"According to Article 3 of the Mist Town Code!"

"Anyone corrupted by demons must be purified immediately through a fire ritual! Otherwise, they will become new demons, threatening the safety of the entire Misty Town!"

Upon hearing the word "demon," the residents who had been watching the spectacle with blank expressions instantly revealed deep fear in their eyes.

"Burn them!"

"Burn them alive!"

"We mustn't let them become demons!"

Excited shouts erupted from the crowd.

"Execute!"

Sheriff Lyon waved his hand dismissively, his cold, hard face devoid of any pity.

Two strong police officers immediately carried two buckets of dark liquid up to it.

A pungent odor instantly filled the air.

"It's all-purpose fuel." Lin Hui's nose twitched. He never expected that this precious all-purpose fuel would be used to burn people.

"Splash—"

The sticky, all-purpose fuel was mercilessly poured onto the two foreign players who were covered in tree branches.

The player who was still crying for help closed his eyes in despair, and the branch that had grown out of his mouth trembled violently because it was stained with black oil.

"No...don't..."

"I don't want to die! Help me! Boss Raymond, save me!!"

Raymond was in dire straits himself. Hearing his men's cries for help, he could only bury his head in his chest, trembling all over, not daring to even look at them.

"ignition!"

A police officer struck a match and tossed it aside.

That tiny spark ignited instantly upon contact with the black oil!

"boom--!!"

Orange-red flames shot into the sky, instantly engulfing the two of them.
