Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

"this……"

Upon seeing this eerie tree, Chen Ye couldn't help but gasp and get goosebumps.

The man with the hooked nose continued, his voice deep:

"These are the Chinese players who entered with us. They couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere here and wanted to try to cross the wall of mist and return the way they came."

"As soon as they touched the mist, they screamed, their bodies twisting as if they were being kneaded dough, their skin hardening rapidly and bark growing out... In less than ten seconds, living people turned into these trees."

At this point, a hint of fear flashed in his hook-nosed eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he straightened his collar, approached Song Shan in a familiar manner, and extended his hand: "My name is Raymond."

"Song Shan." Song Shan frowned, but did not shake hands, only replying coldly.

Raymond wasn't embarrassed and naturally withdrew his hand.

He had previously witnessed Song Shan's toughness in the face of Alice's torment, which led him to subconsciously assume that Song Shan was the leader of this group.

Song Shan glanced at Lin Hui, who was still observing the "trees" and showed no intention of speaking, then surveyed the group of foreign players and asked:

"More than a dozen of us Chinese players came in. Aside from those who turned into trees, where are the others?"

Raymond shrugged, a hint of helplessness on his face:

"Them? I didn't see them. They should have already entered Misty Town."

"We turned back because we heard the commotion here and thought that there's strength in numbers."

After finishing speaking, Raymond finally revealed his purpose:

"Nobody knows what's in this town. There are about twenty of us here, and a few of you. How about we cooperate, form a temporary alliance, and complete the mission together?"

It sounds like a very reasonable suggestion.

In this perilous place, sticking together for mutual support seems like a good option.

however.

Just as Raymond was waiting expectantly for Song Shan to agree.

Lin Hui, who had been observing the tree from the side, suddenly turned around.

He didn't even glance at Raymond, simply uttering three words:

"No."

Raymond's smile froze instantly.

He looked at Lin Hui's young face, his voice turning colder:

"Young man, can you speak on behalf of your team? Refusing our goodwill is not a wise choice."

Song Shan then took a step back, standing behind Lin Hui, and said in a deep voice:

"Please!"

Raymond's face darkened completely.

Behind him, the group of foreign players began to stir.

A young white man suddenly stepped forward, staring at the backpacks behind the group: "We can leave! But you have to give us half of your supplies!"

"We were brought in by the Freedom Alliance with nothing! Since you were able to drive in, you must have a lot of good stuff on you, right?"

"Everyone has received a side quest, so helping each other out is the right thing to do! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise?" Lin Hui finally raised his head and glanced at the white youth.

"...Are you going to rob me?"

The white youth felt a chill run down his spine from Lin Hui's icy gaze, but relying on his superior numbers, he still stubbornly shouted:

"Enough with the nonsense! Today you must..."

boom--! ! !

A deafening gunshot rang out, instantly silencing his roar.

The sudden loud noise startled everyone, sending shivers down their spines.

Followed by.

puff.

The young white man fell straight backward.

A gaping hole appeared in the center of his forehead, from front to back, and red and white substances splattered all over the ground.

A deathly silence.

All the shouting and clamoring stopped abruptly, like a duck being choked.

Raymond's pupils contracted sharply as he stared incredulously at his fallen companion, then at the still-smoking axe-gun in Lin Hui's hand.

How is that possible?!

There were no warnings, no hesitations, not even a single unnecessary word.

A direct headshot?!

How can this seemingly young Chinese player be even more ruthless than the Free Alliance?!

Lin Hui held the gun in one hand, casually waving the muzzle around Raymond and the others.

"Who else wants to help each other out?"

Lin Hui's voice was eerily calm. "I wouldn't mind sending him to meet God; that would be the greatest help I could give you."

Raymond was sweating profusely, and his legs were trembling.

He realized that the young man in front of him was definitely a ruthless killer! He couldn't afford to mess with him!

"I'm so sorry! I apologize!"

Raymond raised his hands, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "This kid is ignorant and has offended everyone. He deserves to die! We're leaving now! Right now!"

After saying that, he growled at his terrified companions behind him, "What are you all standing there for? Get out of here! Do you want to die?!"

The group of people felt as if they had been granted a pardon and fled in a disheveled state toward the town, not even bothering to collect the bodies of their companions.

Watching the group of people flee in panic, Chen Ye spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"Pah! What is that?!"

Song Shan exclaimed with admiration, "Brother Lin, that's impressive!"

Lin Hui put away his axe and musket, his expression remaining completely unchanged.

Then, he looked up and glanced at the sky.

"It's getting dark, let's hurry and get into town."

"Um!"

After tidying up their equipment, the group walked over the bloodstains on the ground toward the cursed, misty town.

And not long after they left.

The high wall of mist suddenly surged, and then, grayish-white sprouts began to grow from the white youth's corpse...
