Unexpectedly, the girl leaned down to look under the car the next second.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Shi Jinwei had learned from her experience of hiding.

When the virus was being replicated, she was also someone who hid under the car, so she naturally guessed where people would be hiding.

Under the man's terrified gaze, she fired without hesitation.

Passing through the cars and corpses, she discovered that the rest area was just behind them.

Inside were the food, water, and other supplies that these people had looted.

She didn't stand on ceremony and swept everything into the space.

Several cans of gasoline were also found and collected.

Her little motorcycle is both electric and gasoline-powered; gasoline is a valuable commodity.

We continued on our way and saw a highway toll station before dark.

There was no one inside, and all the supplies had been looted.

She glanced at the sky and decided to rest for the night before continuing her journey.

I haven't run into Hou Li and the others yet, and I don't know if they flew there or what.

Since we've already fallen behind, there's no need to enter the city late at night.

In case of an earthquake, it would be too dangerous; it's not as open and safe as the highway exit.

However, all the supplies here were gone, so she had to take things out of her spatial storage.

I found a clean room in the office area next to the toll station and locked the doors and windows.

Rest immediately after eating.

On the morning of the fifth day of the game, she rode her bicycle into the city as soon as it was light.

The city was indeed much more dilapidated than the area near the highway.

When Shi Jinwei observed through binoculars the night before last, three-quarters of the buildings in the city were still intact.

But after yesterday afternoon's earthquake, it seems there are fewer high-rise buildings now.

It appears that less than half remains.

Many people were rummaging through these buildings for useful supplies.

Upon hearing the sound of the motorcycle, everyone turned to look in Shi Jinwei's direction.

Seeing that it was a girl riding a motorcycle, they turned their gaze away without any interest.

To ordinary NPCs, food and water are far more attractive than Shi Jinwei.

Shi Jinwei noticed the gazes of these people and secretly became more vigilant.

She didn't need any of her skills today; she wasn't afraid of anyone.

Fortunately, they only looked around and didn't do anything else.

This made her subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

Annam City is 300 kilometers from An Minh City and 270 kilometers from An U City.

Since there are highways available, she plans to continue following the highways.

As for other dirt roads, they not only pass through villages, but some even require crossing mountains and valleys.

Fearing another landslide, she felt that the highway was safer, at most there would be traffic jams.

And small motorcycles aren't afraid of traffic jams.

She took out a map to confirm the direction and continued on her way.

However, there are very few roads in the city where motorcycles can be ridden; the roads are mostly covered with building debris and other odds and ends that fell on the roads after the earthquake.

The car was completely immobile; we had to walk.

This also slowed her down.

Seeing that many similar players were leaving, I didn't think much of it.

In the afternoon, we finally arrived at the city center.

This is also the area most severely affected by the disaster.

Even if many high-rise buildings can withstand earthquakes of magnitude 7 or 8, that's all talk if they're near the epicenter.

Annam is much more developed than Anhong, and has more high-rise buildings.

Therefore, when a super earthquake strikes, high-rise buildings are naturally the first to be hit, becoming the first "toys" to collapse.

The city center has many shopping malls and supermarkets, so there are many NPCs scavenging for supplies.

Five days have passed since the earthquake.

At first, they were still grieving for their lost loved ones.

But the rescue team never arrived, and their loved ones either went missing or died.

In addition to their grief, the survivors faced an even bigger problem: the lack of food and water.

Now, a few days are enough for them to suppress their grief and try to survive.

This makes it easier to distinguish between NPCs and players.

The NPCs were mostly scavenging for supplies, while the players were trying to make their way.

In the city center, there are basically no well-maintained roads.

Players could only move forward among these dilapidated buildings while remaining wary of each other.

The same applies to Shi Jinwei.

To prevent any accidents, she took off her protective suit and put on dirty clothes before entering the city.

He was wearing a bulletproof vest underneath (which he had previously purchased from the item shop).

He also put the defensive eerie prop—the eerie doll—in his pocket.

Other strange items can be used in normal dungeons, but I don't know if they are useful in this dungeon.

Moreover, this doll is said to withstand a high-level, eerie, and fatal attack, but how would that be calculated in terms of player attack power? It's really hard to say.

But something is better than nothing, and there's no harm in having it.

I walked cautiously between the buildings, watching the NPCs searching for supplies with blank stares.

A woman squatted in front of a completely collapsed shop, digging at the dirt in front of her with her hands.

His body was covered in filth, making his features unrecognizable, and his hands were covered in blood.

While digging, she muttered, "Baby, don't be afraid, Mommy will take you home right away."

Further away, an old man silently moved stones from the ground, with a buried doorway in front of him.

……

All the players fell into an unusual silence upon witnessing this scene.

I subconsciously quickened my pace, wanting to leave this place, to escape this suffocating scene.

Get to the shelter as soon as possible, and end this damn game sooner!

But clearly, the game won't let them have it so easy.

Without warning, the ground suddenly began to shake.

The dilapidated building emitted a muffled sound, and the NPCs, as if waking from a dream, turned from numb expressions to terror.

They instinctively seek safe havens, and the players do the same.

Shi Jinwei happened to pass by a house that had collapsed and was now only half-built.

He ran straight in, squatted down in the corner, took out his helmet and put it on.

Then, the cabinet next to it was moved to the front using space, and leaned against the wall to create a safety triangle.

Soon, the muffled sound turned into a rumbling roar.

The dilapidated building suffered further damage, with cracks in the walls spreading and widening until it finally gave way under the weight of the load.

The previously intact leadership has now completely compromised and collapsed.

Those who were taking shelter in the open ground seemed not to have expected that it would tip over in their direction.

They could only flee in terror.

But how could their speed compare to the speed at which tall buildings collapse?

After the deafening roar came agonizing screams and a huge cloud of dust.

The survivors trembled and closed their eyes, praying for divine mercy.

This earthquake lasted much longer than the previous ones.

The first two times it lasted no more than two minutes.

This time, however, it lasted a full five minutes.

The cabinet in front of Shi Jinwei was smashed to pieces by a piece of construction debris that fell from a great height.

She reacted quickly, rolling away to escape being smashed into a pulp.

He continued to lie prone in another corner.

However, there were no cabinets in the room for her to move, so she simply took out the car.

Fortunately, the dilapidated house wasn't very big, and the car could be leaned against the wall, allowing her to hide underneath.

She only put the bike away and returned to the road after the shaking stopped.

Outside, smoke and dust filled the air, and survivors emerged from all directions.
