Steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers is fine, it's a gold entry for every level.

Headache.

This was Shen Wen's first thought after regaining consciousness, followed by a throbbing pain throughout his body.

And a memory that wasn't his, yet was incredibly clear.

He remembered.

Blue Star, a nation's struggle for survival on the highway.

Today, all of humanity will be pulled into a strange world called "The Road to Survival" by a mysterious force.

Each person will be bound to their own vehicle, which will be their sanctuary, mobile castle, and only support in the new world.

Shen Wen, an ordinary office worker, was hit by a speeding Wuling Hongguang MINI EV in the middle of the road just one minute before the time travel occurred, while trying to push away a stunned child.

Shen Wen: "..."

Was it a bit too hasty to die after being hit and killed by a mini electric vehicle nicknamed "Spicy Fish Head"?

He looked around.

A hazy, boundless sky stretched out before me, and beneath my feet stretched a straight, seemingly endless gray road.

The surrounding area was an endless wasteland, which seemed to have nothing at all, but occasionally some figures would appear.

He was standing in the middle of the road, with a car parked quietly beside him...

【Ding--】

[Vehicle binding complete!]

[You will automatically acquire the driving skills for driving vehicles...]

Welcome to Left 4 Dead! Respected survivor: Shen Wen

[Your bound vehicle: Wuling Hongguang MINI EV 2022 Comfort Edition]

Please check your vehicle's attribute panel:

Shen Wen's eyelids twitched, and a semi-transparent light screen appeared in front of him.

Vehicle Name: Wuling Hongguang MINI EV (Nickname: Spicy Fish Head/Little Cutie)

[Level]: Lv.1 (0/100)

[Car Owner]: Shen Wen

[Basic Attributes]:

Top speed: 100km/h (theoretical value, possibly achievable downhill with a tailwind)

Range/Energy: 40/120km (standard range)/30% (can be replenished with specific supplies)

Durability: 80/80 (Fragile, don't expect it to withstand damage)

Attack power: 5 (Base impact damage, not recommended to attempt, you might break first)

Defense: 10 (Slightly better than a motorcycle, but that's about it)

Vehicle space (seat space + trunk): 0.8 cubic meters (there's no room left after putting in two cases of bottled water).

[Special Ability]: None

[Modification Slots]: 0/3

[Review]: This is a... highly "unique" urban commuter sprite. In the world of survival, its role might be that of a "scout"? Or perhaps a mobile coffin?

Shen Wen: "..."

He stared silently at the panel, then at the pink and white miniature car in front of him, which looked harmless and even a little cute.

"So," he heard his own voice, dry and filled with disbelief, "I got hit by this thing and became bound to it?"

"What kind of shitty rules are these?"

Whatever hits you, that's what you tie up?

If I had crashed into a heavy truck back then, would I be driving a Land Cruiser now?

Even a Wuling Hongguang S would be fine with me, as long as I have that Akina Mountain racing legend aura!

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then he heard a voice.

It didn't come from the sky, but from a "channel" in his mind.

It was something like a chat interface, and messages were scrolling wildly.

[Regional Channel]

[Hahaha! Holy crap! I've strapped a huge truck to it! The space, the weight!! I can haul five tons!]

[Waaaaah, can anyone help me? My car's fuel consumption is so high! It only had half a tank initially. Does anyone know where I can get gas?]

[...I just want to know, why is an electric car considered a vehicle? What am I? A two-wheeled war machine? Braving wind and rain? I was already in a precarious situation, already struggling to survive, and now this?]

The Rolls-Royce is alright, the ambiance is so-so, but the interior is decent. Does anyone know how to open the car refrigerator? It seems to contain some initial supplies.

Make way, make way. My Phoenix brand bicycle accelerates entirely by pedaling, and it only lasts for two steamed buns a hundred kilometers. Waaah...

Shen Wen looked at the various boasts, requests for help, and complaints on the channel.

Looking at the car in front of him, whose very name seemed to exude an aura of "Can I do this?", his lips twitched uncontrollably.

With trembling hands, he opened the trunk of his car, where a tiny beginner's gift pack lay all alone.

[Open the new player gift pack to receive:]

[Mineral water *2]

[3 compressed biscuits]

[Low-level energy conversion core *1 (can be converted into 30% of the corresponding vehicle's energy)]

[Survival Rules Explanation]

Shen Wen picked up the survival rules, which only had four rules.

Rule 1: Survivor vehicles cannot attack each other. The interior of a vehicle is an absolutely safe space and cannot be entered without an invitation.

Rule Two: Once a vehicle is destroyed, the survivor becomes a "free agent." Free agents cannot survive independently and must join another survivor's vehicle within 24 hours.

Rule 3: You have to discover the rules of survival yourself. This is a game without a beginner's guide; everything must be learned through trial and error.

Rule 4: 100,000 initial supplies have been deployed. The level of the supplies is random, but there will always be monsters guarding the area around high-level supplies.

He looked at the regional channel again.

[Guys! I saw a glowing box ahead! Oh crap! There's a monster guarding it! Looks like a giant lizard! I'm outta here, who can beat this?]

I found some monsters roaming around in the ruins of a gas station. They didn't look very strong. Anyone want to team up? My car can discharge electricity, so I can use it as a portable power source!

[Let's team up! I have a minibus, it can haul people. Let's build a mobile fortress.]

Shen Wen turned off the channel, put his hands in his hair, and squatted down by the roadside.

He looked at his pink and white "chopped pepper fish head" car and fell into deep despair.

"100 km/h? This damn road looks endless. If I drive at 100 km/h, I feel like the car could float away if a gust of wind comes."

"Defense 10? Durability 80? Is there any difference between this and something made of paper?"

"Attack 5? I'm going to use this car to ram into monsters? I'd be delivering dessert to them, chewing up the packaging too."

"I just want to ask, other transmigrators either start out as overpowered protagonists or incredibly wealthy, or at the very least, they have a golden finger that brings them along with an old man."

And me? I transmigrated and received a "steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers" as a gift?

"This isn't a path to survival, it's a direct elevator to heaven!"

They were complaining.

Shen Wen suddenly caught a glimpse of a swaying figure appearing on a side road ahead of the highway.

It was a human-shaped outline, but the movements were stiff, the skin was an abnormal grayish-white, and there were stains that looked like bloodstains at the corners of the mouth.

It seemed to have sensed something, and its head mechanically turned towards Shen Wen.

Shen Wen's mind went blank for a moment.

Monster! Zombie?

Are these newbie monsters coming too fast?!
