Survival on a Bus: School Beauty Sisters Beg for a Place to Stay

[Welcome to the game "All-People Highway Survival"! Player "Lin Mo". Please draw your identity.]

Looking at the winding asphalt road stretching endlessly before him, Lin Mo was completely dumbfounded.

One second he was riding his electric scooter, humming a tune, leisurely heading to a restaurant, when suddenly a white light flashed as he crossed the street, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself inexplicably transported to this desolate, sandy wasteland.

A slightly translucent blue screen, like a projection, was also floating in front of them.

Survival on the highway?

A game for everyone?

"Am I not the only unlucky transmigrator?"

The thought of having company made Lin Mo hurriedly turn his head to look around, but there wasn't a soul in sight.

At the same time, a voice prompt popped up on the screen again, urging him to take action.

[Player 'Lin Mo', please draw your identity.]

"Since we're already here, let's just do whatever we want."

Lin Mo is a very adaptable and optimistic person. Although he is still confused, he did not hesitate at all and gently tapped the button on the screen with his finger.

After a brief flash, a new notification popped up on the screen again.

[Congratulations to player 'Lin Mo' for obtaining the vehicle commander qualification. Vehicles are being distributed...]

"Train commander?"

This undoubtedly tells him that the player's identity should include not only the train conductor but also a passenger.

But where are the passengers?

do not know.

But before he could even use his little brain to think of more possibilities, a car suddenly appeared on the road where there had been nothing before.

It's a typical extended bus, the kind you often see in the city.

It looked dilapidated and rusty, with even the yellowed headlights glued on with tape. It was a bit shabby and unsightly.

"This is too much..."

Before Lin Mo could utter his complaints, more system notifications popped up one after another.

[Before the game begins, please remember the following rules, 'commanders':]

[1: Highways stretch endlessly without end; public transportation is your only means of transport. Please take good care of your home.]

[2: The bus driver automatically unlocks the ability to drive the bus; passengers can only drive the vehicle with the driver's authorization.]

[3: Passengers appear randomly, and the driver can choose whether to accept them. Each passenger earns 100 highway coins every 24 hours.]

[4: Passengers may not be genuine passengers; they could be imposters or decoys. For your safety and the safety of your passengers, please pay close attention to relevant information on the onboard radio. You can also gather information from other drivers' experiences through the driver chat channel to determine the authenticity of passengers.]

[5: Highway Coins are the only currency for transactions in the Highway Marketplace. They can be used to repair/upgrade/modify vehicles, awaken special abilities, evolve personal strength, and purchase weapons. Besides daily passenger revenue, they can also be obtained through trading with other drivers. If you're a greedy driver, you can also exploit passengers by overcharging them, but this is not recommended.]

[6: Shopping malls do not sell food or other daily necessities. There are supply and gas stations along the highway. Players need to collect supplies themselves, but beware of attacks from zombies and other mutated creatures.]

[7: Passengers are prohibited from harming the driver. When the driver is in danger, passengers must prioritize the driver's safety. If the driver dies but the vehicle is not damaged, the system will select a new driver from among the passengers.]

[8: Bus drivers are prohibited from driving empty. The system will count passengers every 24 hours. When the number of passengers is less than 1, the driver will cancel the bus.]

[9: Two or more bus drivers can switch roles and cooperate to move forward. Special reminder: A bus is not just a means of transportation, but also a safe haven for you.]

[10: Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back. I'll say it three times: the fog moves at a constant speed, it devours all living things.]

【...】

After the series of rule prompts finally disappeared, a countdown timer for the distance to the fog appeared on the screen.

[Warning! The fog will appear in 9 minutes and 59 seconds. Please move out quickly and maintain a safe distance.]

A fog?

Lin Mo looked back and saw that the once sunny sky was now shrouded in a dark green mist that blotted out the sun and surged violently. The huge shadow was only a few dozen meters away from where he was.

"Damn it, it's starting already~~~"

Does Lin Mo have a choice?

No.

Since he's already here, what else can he do?

Forced to accept their fate, they reluctantly boarded the bus.

Although he couldn't drive a manual transmission car, the moment he sat in the driver's seat, he was suddenly instilled with bus driving skills, and the familiar feeling was as if he were a veteran driver who had been driving for ten years.

At the same time, relevant data about the bus also popped up.

Vehicle: Nine-handed bus.

Train Commander: Lin Mo.

Number of passengers: 0.

Dimensions: 12 meters * 3.2 meters.

Weight: 10.5 tons.

Fuel capacity: 20% (estimated range of 95 km).

Top speed: 69.5 km/h.

Vehicle wear and tear replacement reminder:

1: Tire wear exceeds 83%;

2: Battery wear exceeds 69%;

3: Engine wear exceeds 71%;

4: The wear of the transmission exceeds 58%;

5: The wear of the drive shaft exceeds 64%.

Modification and installation management: None.

"Holy crap, is this some kind of junk car salvaged from a junkyard...?"

The data was simply appalling. Although he was cursing and swearing, Lin Mo's hands were working very actively. He stepped off the gearshift, turned the key, and the moment the engine roared, the ear-piercing whistle made him worry that this piece of junk might explode halfway through the journey. The steering wheel was also shaking like a sieve, and the clanging and rattling sound made it seem like there were noises coming from all over the car, which made him feel really uneasy.

Fortunately, it managed to move, albeit shakily, which is a decent start.

After setting off, Lin Mo judged the distance between himself and the fog by the speed of the bus. Finally, by counting down the distance, he estimated that the fog was traveling at about 30 kilometers per hour. He immediately turned on the car radio, even though it was just playing a sound like urinating. He didn't dare to turn it off, since the system had warned him that it might broadcast important information about distinguishing between real and fake passengers.

At the same time, Lin Mo was also pondering the series of rule prompts he had received earlier.

Ultimately, this led to some important pieces of information.

For example, in Article 9, the system specifically mentions that the bus is the driver's home, which means that unless the driver makes a mistake and puts a fake person or a weirdo disguised as a passenger into the bus, the driver cannot be harmed inside the bus. It is equivalent to an invincible buff, and no one can attack him.

But Article 7 clearly states that buses can be destroyed, so what can destroy a car?

Was it another tank commander who attacked with weapons?

Hit him with a car?

Or is it an attack by zombies or mutated creatures?

Or is it some other unknown threat?

Anyway, Lin Mo knew one thing: before he gained absolute strength, it was best to get off the bus as little as possible and stay away from other drivers' teams. As for his own passenger team...

Better to have none than something of poor quality.

Even if the passenger is a real passenger, even if the passenger cannot harm the driver, who can guarantee that the other party is not a two-faced traitor who will use the rules to get someone else to kill him and take his place?

After all, the commander has a lot of authority.

A player who doesn't want to be the tank commander isn't a good player.

[Sizzle...sizzle...]

Just then, the radio, which had been urinating, suddenly emitted a series of electrical interference sounds.

Before Lin Mo could adjust the settings, a magnetic middle-aged male voice came from inside.

"Hello, fellow train commanders, this is your host, Handsome Guy. According to the latest news, a research intern at the Highway Research Institute has discovered that neither the supernatural beings nor the fake humans can completely disguise themselves as real humans; dehydrated and cracked skin is the main symptom..."

"Holy shit..."

Lin Mo was quite happy to hear that they had important information to identify fake passengers.

Upon closer reflection, he felt that something was amiss.

Until I remembered the words "intern researcher".

Why mention those words on purpose?

Is this a deliberate smokescreen, or is it an attempt to imply that the message is unreliable?

Compared to the former, Lin Mo believed the second possibility was more likely.

Because if a driver is careless and doesn't notice the words "intern researcher," and takes the message as a decree to screen passengers, they're likely doomed. After all, this is a survival game, not a leisurely road trip variety show. The system does this to harvest lives.

Just as Lin Mo was about to open the driver's chat channel to see if anyone else had noticed the message, two women suddenly darted out from the middle of the road ahead, jumping up and down and waving their hands to stop the car.

"Is this the start of the test? Which cadre can withstand this test?"

Lin Mo was speechless.

The two women who stopped the car could be summed up in one word: beautiful.

In two words, it's beautiful.

In short, it's fucking gorgeous.

They were like two fair-skinned, beautiful girls with wasp waists, perky buttocks, and voluptuous figures—the epitome of school beauties...
