With only a few days left in summer, Shi Jinwei spent her days traveling, opening treasure chests, and collecting map fragments and blueprints.

However, map fragments are almost never sold anymore.

The blueprints for Tier 11 vehicles have not appeared either.

There were no system announcements, which means that no one else has started up other servers either.

The game suddenly went silent.

Everyone is doing the same thing every day.

Having grown accustomed to the monsters and eeriness that appear at night, some were lucky enough to discover resource points.

Medicines were obtained by a small number of players and became scarce resources.

On the fifteenth day of the game, the first day of autumn, the mileage reached 600km/day.

Everyone's vehicles have been upgraded, so the perception of distance is only a matter of numbers increasing.

The number of treasure chests and monsters increases as the journey becomes longer.

However, thanks to Shi Jinwei's efforts, the vehicle durability of players in Server 7-05 remained in the green bar state.

The mortality rate is the lowest among all servers.

Of course, nobody knows this, because the system won't tell them, and there's no leaderboard.

The players' only feeling is that their numbers are still above 7.

It far exceeded their expectations.

During those five days, Shi Jinwei basically only sold diesel fuel.

By the fifteenth night, 1200L of diesel had been sold over four days, totaling 96000 points.

I sold 23000 supplies and spent 17000 points to collect them.

With 846 cubic meters of diesel fuel remaining, she decided to stop selling it after two more days.

On the eighteenth day of the game, the fourth day of autumn, the player discovered the resource point again.

He excitedly shouted in the chat channel, and then died.

His last words before dying were, "Damn it, why are there so many monsters at this resource point?!"

The warning in the game, "Resource points are also dangerous," finally came to light at this moment.

Players who have survived until now are unlikely to choose to quit easily.

Map fragments are no longer a hot commodity; people are starting to sell them.

Shi Jinwei took the opportunity to acquire Synthetic.

Choose to enter on the 21st day of the game.

This time, the resource point is a small supermarket, just one floor.

Mostly daily necessities and food.

These weren't what moved Shi Jinwei; what moved her were the warm clothing supplies.

Tomorrow is winter, but everyone has very few blueprints and supplies that they've unlocked, and very few warm clothes.

She only got the hand warmer in the first two days of the game, and hasn't gotten it since.

Players have never obtained blueprints for items like hot water bottles or small heaters.

This suggests that the seven days of winter may be the most difficult to endure.

Even with air conditioning in the car, things weren't going to be easy.

Even worse, if the outdoor temperature drops to an extreme point, such as in an "extreme cold" scenario.

The car's air conditioning might not even work.

If we think about it further, what if heavy snow blocks the roads, making travel a problem?

The appearance of this resource point is, to some extent, the "way out" that the system provides to players.

Shi Jinwei plans to sweep all the "salt" into the space first.

But as soon as I entered the room, I sensed something was wrong.

This instance is densely packed with eerie creatures and monsters.

Not dozens, but hundreds.

Instead, it numbered over ten thousand.

Even if ten players teamed up, they couldn't defeat that many, let alone herself.

Fortunately, she has the ability to become invisible.

Her skills are canceled when she encounters a "living being," so she uses a feint attack.

I made two megaphones and one of those old-fashioned Walkmans on the workbench.

I found a corner outside the supermarket and started playing popular square dance music.

As soon as the loudspeakers were turned on, the entire space was filled with the song "You are my little apple..." on a loop.

"I am gazing up at the moon..."

The monsters and eeriness are incomprehensible.

But what if we add screen mirroring?

She then created a virtual 3D projection on the workbench.

Soon a group of middle-aged women appeared in the corner, singing and dancing to the music.

The eerie and monster-like things are incomprehensible to me.

But why is a square dance anthem called a divine song?

That's because it can break through species barriers.

Cats and dogs can dance along, let alone these guys?

At first, they wanted to attack.

It can be a virtual image, something you can't reach or touch.

After their angry roars, they gradually adapted and accepted it.

Finally, some strange creature or monster started dancing along with the old lady.

The chain reaction is that more and more people are going to "dance".

It's no exaggeration to describe the scene as a chaotic mess.

Shi Jinwei was satisfied and activated her stealth ability to enter the supermarket.

They kept hoarding and hoarding.

I need hand warmers!

A heater, I need one!

Gloves and hats, I need them!

I need extra-thick UGG boots!

The materials in the space have been mostly cleared out over the past few days, and the remaining space is enough to fill up the food in this small supermarket.

In just a few hours, Shi Jinwei had completely emptied the place.

Before leaving, I glanced at the bizarre monsters who were dancing merrily to the music, their limbs moving incoherently.

A new idea slowly formed in my mind...

That night, Shi Jinwei put some heating tools up for sale, aiming to increase her survival rate and complete the hidden mission.

The points aren't many, but what will happen after the hidden mission?

That's what she wanted to explore.

Anyone who has played games knows that to beat a game...

You not only need to be skilled, but you also need to have a thorough understanding of the game.

Shi Jinwei, who had never played games, had already embarked on this path.

Players naturally know that winter is coming tomorrow.

Everyone started hoarding supplies at night.

We have no shortage of food ingredients, but we dare not be careless.

The supplies provided by Shi Jinwei are insufficient for all players.

This also gave most players confidence.

They can shamelessly say that everyone who has survived to this day has earned points.

Seeing Shi Jinwei put winter supplies on the shelves tonight, one naturally understands what she means.

Stockpile what needs to be stockpiled, and sell what needs to be sold.

The atmosphere was unusually harmonious.

Shi Jinwei published the blueprints for [anti-skid tires for cars], while someone else published the blueprints for [snowplows].

Even the [snow melting agent blueprint] was created by players.

However, since it wasn't officially certified, the quality is average.

But no one seemed to mind, and the transaction proceeded in a lively and bustling manner, much like buying New Year's goods.

Shi Jinwei earned 3100 points that night.

On the morning of the twenty-second day of the game, everyone discovered that it was snowing.

It's very thick, over a meter.

Snowplows, salt, and de-icing agents came in handy.

Everyone was focused on getting on their way, with no interest in the treasure chests.

The difficulty of the Wasteland dungeon in winter lies in the fact that everyone lacks experience and can only be trapped on the ice.

Everyone is out of supplies, but the trading center is still open every three days.

The difficulty of this instance lies in the fact that resources are plentiful, but you have to travel quickly.

600 kilometers is nothing in the first two days, but it is really difficult in heavy snow.

Even with snowplows, you have to keep shoveling as you go.

This is only the first day of winter.

The players encouraged each other in the chat channel as they slowly made their way forward.

With seven days left, no one wanted to give up easily.

When Shi Jinwei got up, she found a giant, fluffy creature lingering outside her door.

It seemed to hear the noise inside the car, and turned around to stare at Shi Jinwei.
