Chapter 12 Cao Shuang is recruiting beautiful female passengers! Ugly women need not apply!
"My car window has been smashed! A zombie has reached its hand in! Help me...!"
"Can someone give me some gas?! I've floored the accelerator! But I can't go any faster! They're catching up!"
"I hit and killed one! But the front of my car is dented! And it's leaking coolant! What should I do?!"
"Team up! Anyone want a tank with high defense? Let's charge out together!"
"Damn it, my sports car is fast, but I can't afford to crash into it! One crash and it'll be totaled!"
"Liu Ruyan: @Brother Qiang, what do we do?! There are so many zombies surrounding us! You can't crash into them with your car!"
"Brother Qiang is invincible: @Everyone, who has extra fuel? I'll buy it at a high price! Ten times the resources in exchange! No, twenty times! Help!"
Wailing, cries for help, curses, transactions... it was all in complete chaos.
Clearly, most players' vehicles lack the "enhanced" defensive capabilities of Cao Shuang's. Faced with a zombie horde, they can only flee in disarray, and once entangled or their vehicles are damaged, death is inevitable. Fuel has once again become the most scarce life-saving resource.
Cao Shuang glanced at Zhang Qiang and Liu Ruyan's anxious SOS messages on the channel, then looked at his remaining 46 units of universal fuel, a thoughtful expression on his face.
The zombie crisis was an opportunity for him to gain experience, but for many others it was a death sentence.
So, shouldn't this "hard currency" play a bigger role?
While continuing to maneuver the Wuling Hongguang, slamming a zombie that lunged to the side into the air (experience +1), he instructed the still-shaken Chu Yao:
"Look at both sides of the road, there are boxes with unusual colors, especially green ones, remind me."
"Ah? Oh, okay, okay!" Chu Yao nodded hurriedly, forcing herself to look away from the broken wreckage outside the window and nervously look at both sides of the road.
Cao Shuang then opened the [Trading Channel] again, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the fuel purchase information that had instantly skyrocketed in price due to the zombie crisis.
In the apocalypse, danger and opportunity coexist. And now, it seems there are more opportunities.
……
Like a raging beast, the Wuling Hongguang charged through the sparser horde of zombies, fighting its way back and forth until the twisted figures were no longer visible. Only then did Cao Shuang reluctantly slow down.
The "Experience +1" notification that kept ringing in his mind had stopped, so he brought up the data panel to check.
[Host: Cao Shuang]
Vehicle: 08 Wuling Hongguang (modified and reinforced)
Vehicle Class: 3
[Defense: +∞]
[Space: 10 cubic meters (upgradeable and expandable)]
External weapons: None
Fuel: ∞
[Rating: E. Congratulations on your promotion to the "Relatively Durable" tier. Running over ordinary zombies is now as natural as breathing, but please don't try to catch a cannonball in your face. The vehicle's top speed has increased to 160 km/h, and structural stability has been slightly improved; it finally looks like a vehicle capable of long-distance driving.]
Upgraded! The vehicle level has been raised to level 2! Not only has the defense increased by 5 points from 25 to 30, but what surprised Cao Shuang the most was the space!
The capacity has been expanded from 8 cubic meters to 10 cubic meters! Although it's still not big, it's almost twice as spacious. The supplies that were originally packed in now seem much more spacious, and with the back seats folded down, there's enough space for one person to lie down and rest.
The top speed has also increased by 10 kilometers per hour, and the stability of the vehicle at high speeds has been significantly enhanced.
"The boost from the enhancement card, combined with the experience gained from killing zombies... indeed, leveling up by killing monsters is the only way!"
Cao Shuang felt a surge of excitement. An E-level rating finally gave him some confidence on this treacherous highway.
However, he also knew that the upgrade seemed easy because he had unlimited energy to charge around recklessly, and he also had an amplification card to instantly strengthen the vehicle's defense. For anyone else, let alone killing monsters and leveling up, they would be lucky to escape from the claws of zombies.
Just look at the regional channels and you'll see a scene of despair, with messages for fuel, rescue, vehicle damage, and fatalities flooding the screens.
Before the coordinates of the 100,000 new resource blind boxes even appeared, a large number of people had already been eliminated by the sudden zombie crisis on the road.
"Cao Shuang, are we...are we safe?"
Chu Yao looked at the scattered limbs outside the window and the few remaining dark figures still wandering in the distance with lingering fear, and asked softly.
After that frenzied charge, she gained a new understanding of the sturdiness of this unassuming Wuling Hongguang, and felt an even greater, inexplicable, admiration for Cao Shuang's "strength."
Although my body was still sore and weak, I felt strangely calmer.
"temporary."
Cao Shuang replied briefly, his gaze sweeping over the fairly clean windshield and the car body with only a few scratches, and he was very satisfied with the effect of the enhancement card.
However, he also knew that relying on ramming was not a long-term solution. If the number of zombies increased, or if a more powerful species appeared, it would be troublesome if the wheels got stuck or the vehicle overturned.
The right way to quickly become stronger is to acquire more enhancement cards and upgrade your vehicle and personal level.
As for how to obtain the enhancement cards... Cao Shuang's gaze fell on Chu Yao beside him.
Last night's "Deep Connection" event yielded a valuable buff card. However, it's clear that this "first connection" reward can only be received once per person.
To get more, new "connection" targets are needed.
The system is called the "Apocalypse Beauty Collection and Connection System," and its core concept is "collecting" and "connecting" with beauties.
Chu Yao's looks and rating prove the system's pickiness. So, where can we find new, high-scoring beauties who meet the system's standards?
On this chaotic, dangerous, and perilous highway, searching aimlessly like a headless fly is not only inefficient but also highly risky.
Cao Shuang stroked his chin, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. Since fuel was practically an infinite supply of "trash" to him, but a life-saving "hard currency" for other players, and what he needed were "beautiful women"... why not just exchange fuel for them?
A clear, direct, and even somewhat ruthless plan took shape in his mind.
Without further hesitation, he opened the regional channel, edited a message, carefully checked it, and then clicked send.
