Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

The system announcement rang in her mind, and Shi Jinwei's eyes flashed.

I clicked "Yes".

[Ding! Player successfully shared. In recognition of the player's enthusiastic sharing, the system has awarded an extra 50 points. We hope you continue your efforts and maintain your number one position!]

The players were in an uproar because of the system announcement.

They are number one across the entire server, not just in their region.

What an incredible player!

Many others, however, thought of a question they hadn't found the answer to since the start of the game—where have their friends and family gone?

Previously, in the game space, they could only know the number of players.

The last time the Wasteland dungeon appeared, information such as "server, region" did not appear.

Does this appearance mean that:

The relatives and friends they can't contact are on servers or game areas they can't reach.

Shi Jinwei opened the chat channel and found that everyone was indeed talking about this topic:

[OPIWP]: Holy crap, our district chief is really something! He's number one on the entire server, awesome!

[CCBBAAA]: For some reason, I suddenly felt excited and a little proud.

[5879]: A sense of honor, right? Even though we're playing this game with our lives on the line, seeing how awesome the pros are makes us feel like we still have a chance to beat the whole game.

[DMDDLJH]: Am I the only one who suddenly thought of something? Do you guys remember when we first entered the game, we discussed the issue of family?

[ADJJWI11223]: I remember back then some people were discussing it, thinking it was unscientific. The rankings are all based on real names, so how could the top-ranked person not find any relatives?

[22114kjl]: Also, when we tried to get someone else to pass on a message, there was no follow-up.

[clzkdlkj]: Can we now understand that our game space is also divided into servers and regions, which is why we can't contact our families?

[ipoipipo]: That's possible. I hope this guess is correct.

[9887]: With more and more clues, we are getting closer and closer to the truth. Keep it up, everyone!

……

All the players now had confidence.

Shi Jinwei remained silent throughout, thinking about another question:

Why choose to release clues in this instance? Are there any other reasons?

What are the strengths of the top-ranked servers on other leaderboards?

Is there any other competitive relationship in this game that people don't know about?

There is another, even more perplexing and bizarre world...

One question after another popped into my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more confused I became.

She didn't want to make things difficult for herself, so she lay down in the car.

Before going to sleep, I posted a message in the chat channel about acquiring the blueprints, and then I closed my eyes.

On the morning of the fourth day of the game, the system announcement sounded again:

[Ding! The system protection period has ended. New surprises await players on their journey. Also, a reminder that the newbie protection period is over; please be sure to spend the night in your vehicle!!!]

The last sentence seems to be the key point, leading many to speculate about what will happen tonight.

However, Shi Jinwei encountered a strange-looking little monster after driving for ten kilometers.

Its pointed shape resembles the ears of an elf or a rabbit.

It also has a long, hooked nose, large eyes, and dark green skin.

This reminded Shi Jinwei of goblins, a frequent character in many fantasy movies and games.

A kind of evil, weak little monster.

She encountered five of them, none of them very tall, some carrying sticks and others carrying stone axes.

Some were wearing leather skirts, and some were wearing hats.

He stood in the traffic jam, baring his teeth and making faces at Shi Jinwei.

The boldest one, seeing the car had stopped, actually struggled to climb onto the hood.

Seeing someone swing a stick to smash the car window, she immediately opened the car door.

Caught off guard, the bird was thrown back and started howling angrily.

I can't understand what they're saying, and I'm not interested in knowing.

She pulled out her gun and fired at the little guys.

The bullets pierced their exposed skin, and dark green blood spurted out.

The little guy fell to the ground in pain.

The anger of the other four was aroused.

Shi Jinwei didn't give them a chance to attack, shooting them down one by one.

It's not that we haven't considered using tearing.

But who knows what monsters they might encounter on the journey ahead.

If firearms fail, it's not too late to use tearing weapons.

The five goblins were knocked to the ground by Shi Jinwei, but she continued to swing her stick.

Shi Jinwei took out an axe and finished them off.

Their corpses slowly disappeared, leaving behind a wooden treasure chest and a bronze treasure chest.

Raising an eyebrow, it really is true that monsters drop supplies.

Finally, it's starting to feel like a game.

Starting today, I will drive 200 kilometers every day.

Without wasting any time, she picked up the supplies and continued on her way.

Half an hour later, they encountered the second wave of monsters.

There were still five goblins, but they were wearing armor.

The bullets couldn't penetrate it.

Not wanting to waste her Tear skill, she first lured the monsters together and unleashed two skills.

The five monsters were torn apart, dropping a 50L barrel of gasoline, a random blueprint, and 20 points.

Click on the blueprint to unlock the "water purifier".

You will also receive 100 points.

The crafting materials required for crafting and the Wilderness dungeon are different.

She had enough materials, so she made one on the spot.

Water purifier: Can purify any water source into drinking water. Daily purification limit: 1L. If no water source is available, it can extract moisture from the air, with a daily limit of 300ml.

She stocked up on bottled water at the rest area restaurant and convenience store, enough for her to use until the end of the game.

However, just because she doesn't lack water doesn't mean other players don't.

There was no seawater, and no one turned on the water purifier.

It hasn't rained for the past few days, so everyone's drinking water supply depends on luck when they open the boxes.

This water purifier is a bit of a waste for her.

That might not be the case for other players.

After thinking for a moment, she posted a picture of the water purifier in the chat channel.

[NWGFYX]: Custom-made water purifiers for sale, 20 points each. DM me if interested.

She didn't spend any money on the materials; she roughly calculated that it would require about 15 points.

Earning 5 points for each item sold isn't considered shady.

After sending his compliments, he ignored the long lines of other players showering him with praise and continued on his way.

With a sedan, a 200-kilometer journey can be completed in about two hours.

We encountered some monsters and supplies along the way, which delayed us a bit. We finally reached our destination around noon.

After parking the car, Shi Jinwei took out the second map fragment that had been dropped by the last wave of monsters.

When placed together with the first piece, it automatically merges together like a jigsaw puzzle.

It landed in her hand and became a palm-sized piece of paper, on which one could see highways and guardrails.

There won't be any more. We'll have to wait until we collect the remaining three pieces. No rush.

There are still five and a half hours until the trading center opens.

Since there was no need to continue the journey, she took out all the remaining ingredients and started cooking.
