That's amazing survival skills!

The three women had different expressions, clearly each harboring their own worries.

Lin Yuan, on the other hand, was somewhat happy, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"It must have been you who did this, right?!" Han Miao rushed forward, grabbed Lin Yuan by the collar, and glared at him with red eyes. "You must have hidden some kind of projection equipment around here, right?!"

"Tell me! What exactly do you want?"

"Didn't you just rule them all out?" Lin Yuan slapped away the hand grabbing her collar and stood up.

Suddenly standing up, the view changed from looking down to looking up. The height difference forced Han Miao to force herself to calm down and slowly back away.

"Lin Yuan, let's both calm down!"

Gu Siyu quickly stepped forward and pulled Han Miao back, while Wang Xi also stood up and spread her arms to signal both sides to calm down.

Three women and one man were alone in the same confined room, and they were inexplicably "captured." Naturally, they would choose to stick together.

"Right now, we have no idea what the situation is like outside."

Lin Yuan reached out and tapped the metal wall, receiving a crisp sound in response. Judging from the sound, it didn't seem to be a thick board, but rather a thin material like aluminum foil, which should be very thin. He said, "Arguing is pointless. Let's think about how to live well."

Wang Xi and Gu Siyu breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lin Yuan did not pounce on them like a vicious wolf.

He pulled Han Miao back to her seat.

The brief crisis passed, and the three women gradually calmed down, but a thick cloud of anxiety still hung over their hearts, and they dared not relax in the slightest.

An eerie silence fell over the air.

"Do you have any leads right now?" Wang Xi asked Lin Yuan.

The things here are so rudimentary; there is no food, no water, and not even the most basic necessities for personal hygiene.

One glance is enough to see through all privacy.

"Where there is poison, there will eventually be an antidote. Since this is a survival game, it will definitely not let us die in vain in the initial stage." Lin Yuan rested his hands on his knees, re-examining everything in the space, and said, "There should be some clues."

"Otherwise, if everyone dies at the start, then there's no point in playing the game, right?"

The overhead lights flickered again, and the cold, mechanical voice rang out once more.

The train will arrive at the first station at 7 PM tonight.

[Station Name: Abandoned Town]

[Site Risk Level: Extremely Low.]

[Duration of stay: Five hours.]

If you don't return to the subway within five hours, you'll be stuck here forever, becoming a permanent resident of this small town.

[This abandoned town is a welcome start for you, and we hope you can adapt to it as soon as possible.]

Good luck, survivors!

A red light screen appeared out of thin air at the front of the welded sheet metal section, resembling the front of a car. On it, a clock with numbers that seemed to be counting down and some simple information appeared.

[Time until arrival: 02:03:40]

[Station Danger Level: Extremely Low (As a beginner's bonus, you should seize the opportunity to find food, water, and anything else that can help you, instead of huddling in the carriage and wasting it.)]

Of course, as a benefit for new players, there are some.

A light flashed at the front of the car, and a card floated in mid-air, slowly rotating even though there was no wind.

[Awakening Card - Helps the holder activate talents inherited from their bloodline; grade is random.]

The moment the card appeared, Gu Siyu, who was closest to the front of the car, sprang out and instantly grasped the card firmly in her hand.

As the card was acquired, the glowing indicator representing the Awakening Card slowly dissolved into specks of light and vanished, as if the notification had never appeared.

Han Miao and Wang Xi looked at the card in Gu Siyu's hand, their breathing becoming heavy.

Awakening Card!

Having this means having a glimmer of hope to survive in this messed-up subway survival situation!

Absolutely fantastic!

The two of them stared intently at the card.

The card was surrounded by a faint white light, and its texture looked very fragile, as if it could be crushed with just a pinch.

Although both of them wanted the item, neither of them intended to steal it.

If they were to try and snatch it, and the Awakening Card were to be crushed, it would instantly shatter the fragile balance between the three of them.

Although they didn't know what kind of talent the Awakening Card could bring, they couldn't bear the reckoning that Gu Siyu would bring after the Awakening!

"Let's all look around, maybe there are others," Gu Siyu suggested.

Holding the card, he stood still, not relaxing at all despite having obtained it; on the contrary, he was even more vigilant than before.

She noticed the undisguised looks in Han Miao and Wang Xi's eyes, and wondered why Lin Yuan seemed so indifferent.

Shouldn't this be what he wants most?

The three nodded and began to explore the small space, leaving no stone unturned, even under the metal seats and on the back of the seats.

No one chose to approach Gu Siyu.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

There's only one card!

The result was as expected, and a sense of dejection involuntarily appeared on Han Miao and Wang Xi's faces.

It seems that this precious chance to save their lives has passed them by.

"Now let's talk about who gets ownership of these cards."

Gu Siyu's words made the somewhat dull space start to feel a little anxious.

If the other party is willing to reveal their affiliation, it means they still have hope, and their minds begin to stir.

"Now that one thing is certain," Gu Siyu said, holding the card between her fingers, "there's only one card, so who should use it?"

Gu Siyu's gaze swept over the three people present, taking in their expressions.

"Give me."

"Give it to me so that it can bring out even greater benefits."

Han Miao and Wang Xi couldn't help but express that they really needed this card.

Gu Siyu's gaze swept past the two of them and landed on Lin Yuan.

I never expected that the other party would focus their attention on me. What does that mean?

Lin Yuan showed no intention of speaking, simply staring directly at her.

From the beginning, the three of them stood on the same side and regarded him as an enemy. Although it was only natural, Lin Yuan was still somewhat unhappy.

Judging from their guarded expressions, they still harbored resentment.

Now I'd like to hear him ask for the Awakening Card, but... even if he did ask, would he give it to him?

I doubt it.

Who would send resources to a wary enemy? Wouldn't that be like nurturing a bandit to enhance one's own power?

Following Gu Siyu's gaze, Wang Xi and Han Miao looked behind them and found Lin Yuan still sitting in the same spot, as steady as an old dog. They couldn't help but wonder if the other party still had some trump cards up his sleeve.

Having received no reply for a long time, Gu Siyu grew tired of waiting and let the card keep jumping between her fingers.

"My idea is to give the card to Lin Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Han Miao and Wang Xi's eyes narrowed sharply as they looked at Gu Siyu in disbelief.

I really can't believe the other person would say something like that.

In their minds, even if she herself didn't use it, it shouldn't be Lin Yuan's turn!

Why?

The two women turned around, even more incredulous at the sound they were hearing.

This question was actually asked by Lin Yuan himself!

Logically, he shouldn't have accepted it with great joy, then uttered a series of grand and eloquent words of gratitude, before using the card under their watchful eyes.

There are always amazing people every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual!

"The reason is simple," Gu Siyu said calmly, twirling the card. "Because you are a man."

?

The three of them looked completely bewildered. They considered themselves to have decent educations, but now they couldn't quite understand the meaning of these words.

"The subway will arrive in a little over an hour." Gu Siyu pointed to the red countdown clock behind her. "This card will improve all four of us, but considering our physical condition and combat power, it's the wisest choice to give it to you as we're starting out."

"Because you are a man, your physical strength is far greater than ours. Only when you are strong can we overcome the initial crisis, and then you can give back to us."

That's the logic, and Han Miao and Wang Xi also understand that given their current situation, doing this is the wisest choice.

Despite their reasoning, Han Miao and Wang Xi couldn't feel happy at all.

Because they missed such a tremendous opportunity, no one knows if awakening cards will ever be available again.

"What if he gets powerful and starts touching us inappropriately?" Han Miao muttered. "After all, men with money tend to go bad!"

Silence fell over the carriage once again.

No one can guarantee the outcome of this issue.

Therefore, Gu Siyu is gambling that Lin Yuan will still have humanity after he becomes stronger!

The three women all turned their gazes toward Lin Yuan at the same time.

"Aren't you going to say something?" Wang Xi asked.

"Since that's what you all think, what's the point of me saying anything?"

"You win."

Gu Siyu shook her head speechlessly. Sometimes she really couldn't understand what this guy was thinking. He was clearly unwilling to even make a casual promise, and he wasn't sweet-talking at all. No wonder he had no chance of advancement in the company.

Gu Siyu still stepped forward and handed over the card.

"You're really giving it to me like this?"

"Do you want it?"

"Of course!"

Lin Yuan reached out and took the card. The warmth traveled from her fingertips through her arm and into her brain. It also carried a faint perfume scent, exactly the same as the perfume Gu Siyu wore.

The card was so light, it felt as if there was nothing on my fingertips.

The surface is smooth, but the back is rough, with a frosted texture.

Lin Yuan looked down at the card. Although she used to enjoy reading silly survival comics, she didn't know how to use it when she actually had it in her hands.

"How do I use it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, cracks appeared on the card, which turned into specks of light that glanced at Lin Yuan's body.

Lin Yuan's body trembled suddenly.
