Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

at the same time.

Watching Lin Hui and the others leave.

A male player behind the short-haired woman sneered, "That Chinese male player has terrible taste! A top player ranked thirteenth on the leaderboard is right here, and he doesn't even come to seek cooperation!"

The short-haired woman's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, her gaze lingering on Lin Hui's back for a moment before she said calmly, "Park Chang, just mind your own business."

"Yes!" The male player named Park Chang bowed his head.

The short-haired woman paused, her gaze sharpening: "That man hasn't awakened his specialization, but the woman next to him with the sniper rifle, and that innocent-looking girl, both have very strong auras! If possible, we should try to win them over."

"Yes!" The two male players nodded.

The short-haired woman glanced in the direction Chen Ye and his companion had left, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's go to the west side of town too. There seems to be a church and a cemetery there."

......

An hour later.

Lin Hui led the four women back to the highway entrance outside the town.

This is the boundary between Misty Town and the outside world, and also the place where their RV is disabled by the system.

The Wall of Mist still stands not far away, like an insurmountable chasm.

Upon getting closer, Lin Hui discovered that in addition to his, Chen Ye's, and Song Shan's vehicles, there was another huge blue vehicle.

Liu Xi glanced at the vehicle and said calmly, "It should be that trio."

Lin Hui nodded. It seemed that the trio had just entered the Misty Land this morning.

"strangeness……"

At this moment, Jiang Qingyan pointed to a spot and said, "Boss, that foreigner's body is gone!"

Yesterday, the white youth who tried to divide their supplies and was shot dead by Lin Hui disappeared.

Not only was the corpse gone, but the pool of blood and the trees that the player had transformed into were all gone!

Like the foreign players who were killed by demons in the central square, they disappeared without a trace after death, as if they had never been to Misty Town.

"What on earth happened?" Jiang Qingyan crouched down and activated [Eye of Investigation] to carefully search the ground. "There were no drag marks, and no ashes from burning... it's like it evaporated into thin air."

Lin Hui didn't speak, but looked at Su Qingqian: "Qingqian, are the things still there?"

"I'll go take a look!"

Su Qingqian quickly walked to a secluded thicket by the roadside. She rummaged through the weeds for a while and pulled out a "simulated stone".

That was a miniature wide-angle camera.

This was a backup plan that Lin Hui had Su Qingqian leave behind before he entered the town yesterday. The original intention was to monitor the area around the RV for any unusual activity, but the angle of that camera happened to cover the area where the anomaly had occurred.

Su Qingqian took out a tablet computer from her backpack and inserted the memory card.

"Sizzle..."

The screen flickered, and then the video started playing.

Everyone crowded around, holding their breath.

The video's bottom left corner shows the time: 5:10 PM yesterday. That is, not long after Lin Hui and the others left.

In the video, the body of the young white man lies quietly by the roadside.

At first, everything was normal.

But at 5:20, the distant, misty walls suddenly began to ripple eerily.

There was no wind, but the gray mist seemed to be alive, extending thin tentacles that slowly reached above the corpse.

Then, a terrifying scene unfolded.

Grayish-white sprouts pierced the corpse's skin, penetrated its clothes, and emerged from its eye sockets, mouth, and navel!

They grow, thicken, and branch at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In just one minute, the corpse was completely transformed.

The original human form disappeared, replaced by a small tree with a distorted human face and withered branches and leaves!

"hiss--"

Upon seeing this, everyone gasped, feeling a chill run down their spines.

"This wall of mist... can actively corrode corpses?" Liu Xi's face paled slightly. "Even if a person dies, they'll turn into a tree?"

"Moreover, these symptoms are just like those of someone corrupted by a demon."

Su Qingqian asked in a trembling voice, "Could the demons be related to the Wall of Mist? Could the mist that shrouds the town every night at 7 PM be spreading in from this wall?"

"Very likely." Lin Hui's gaze was cold. "Let's keep watching."

The video is played at a faster speed.

The tree shaped like a human figure stood there quietly, swaying gently in the breeze.

Time passed second by second.

The time at the bottom of the screen jumped to 7 p.m.

That's when the mist appears in the misty town, and it's also the time when the "demon" appears.

In the scene, thick fog surged in from all directions, instantly engulfing the entire frame.

At the same time, the screen began to shake violently, large areas of static appeared, and a series of ear-piercing electrical noises were emitted.

Sizzle sizzle... sizzle sizzle...

"Strong magnetic field interference!" Su Qingqian quickly judged. "The fog can interfere with electronic devices!"

In the final three seconds before the image was about to be completely lost.

Everyone witnessed a horrifying scene:

Those humanoid trees seemed to come alive, pulling out their "roots"—which were clearly a pair of wooden feet—then stiffly turning around and walking step by step into the depths of the mist!

Within the mist, countless tall, twisted black shadows vaguely emerged, opening their arms to welcome these newborn kin.

"Sizzle—"

The screen went completely black.

It wasn't until 12 hours later, at 7 a.m. this morning, that the picture returned to normal.

By then, the highway was deserted; the corpse, the tree, and the bloodstains on the ground had all vanished...

Only a few disabled vehicles remained, sitting there all alone.

"They...went into the mist?" Su Qingqian blinked, her voice trembling with uncertainty. "Are those who turned into trees still alive?"

"Perhaps they are still alive, but they are no longer human."

Lin Hui turned off the tablet and took a deep breath.

"Could the demons be the treants that the players have transformed into??" Jiang Qingyan continued to speculate. "Also, could the fog that shrouds the town every night at 7 PM be spreading in from this Fog Wall?"

"If that's the case..."

A thoughtful glint appeared in Bai Ling's eyes. "Then, will the wall of mist thin out after 7 PM?"

Su Qingqian also thought of this, and she muttered something, following Bai Ling's train of thought:

"So, if we can leave the safe house with the white stones at night and get to the Wall of Mist, maybe we can find a way out of Mist Town?"

Jiang Qingyan's eyes lit up, and she nodded emphatically, excitedly saying, "That sounds very reasonable!"

"but……"

Liu Xi shook her head slightly, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. "The key is, how do we leave by 7 p.m.? Inhaling the mist will cause tree scale disease, and there are terrifying demons roaming in the mist."

"If we have a vehicle, we'll be driving a fully armored RV, so we have absolutely nothing to be afraid of!"

"But right now, we're all made of flesh and blood," Liu Xi sighed. "Our specializations are still only at level 1 or 2. How can our mortal bodies withstand that kind of pollution? Once we go out, we'll probably turn into trees before we even get here."

indeed.

It's like a vicious cycle.

If you want to leave, you might have to go at night. But if you go at night, you'll die.

Upon hearing this, the women's excitement instantly subsided, and they all sighed. Then, they habitually turned their gaze to their leader, Lin Hui.

Lin Hui took a light breath and did not answer directly, but instead looked intently at the distant wall of mist.

"I already have some ideas, but I still need to verify them."

Upon hearing this, the four women immediately smiled, their eyes filled with admiration.

"As expected of the boss!!"

"Boss, you're so cool! I knew you had a way!" Jiang Qingyan almost pounced on him.

"Don't get too excited yet, we need more clues." Lin Hui waved his hand, turned around and said, "Let's go check out the cemetery behind the church in the western part of the town."

"A cemetery?" Jiang Qingyan asked, puzzled.

Lin Hui succinctly stated, "After those two foreign players who were burned to death this morning, I wanted to know where their remains went. Sheriff Lyon said they were 'purified,' but I suspect that anyone who dies in this town will ultimately meet the same fate."

"If the bodies of the town's residents cannot be found in the cemetery, it proves one thing—all the dead are constantly turning into something."

"Walk!"

The women had no objections and immediately followed Lin Hui's lead.

however.

Just as Lin Hui took two steps, preparing to head towards the cemetery in the western district.

Beep beep beep—!

The mini button communicator in his pocket rang again without warning.

Lin Hui quickly took out his communicator and pressed the answer button.

Before he could even speak, Chen Ye's extremely terrified, even desperate roar came from the other end, accompanied by the sounds of intense gunfire and heavy impacts in the background:

"Brother Lin!!"

"We've encountered a demon!!!"

Communication abruptly stopped.
