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

As for the channel, there are no more people talking about Yadea electric bikes and skateboards anymore.

They'd probably frozen to death long ago, but since this hardship wasn't happening to Shen Wen, he didn't react much.

Nothing to do with him.

Instead, he looked at this information and seemed to be deep in thought.

Different vehicles do require different upgrade materials.

His chopped chili fish head is a mini-car, requiring relatively few ingredients.

100 kilograms of steel, 100 kilograms of rubber.

Trucks and SUVs, on the other hand, require far more materials.

"That makes sense." Shen Wen nodded. "Otherwise, if those big vehicles upgrade too quickly, what's the point of us small vehicles?"

He was about to turn off the channel when he suddenly noticed a slight noise coming from not far away.

That's the sound of an engine.

No, that's the sound of the engine stopping.

Shen Wen turned to look out the window.

The white BMW X5 had its lights on and the engine was running slightly, indicating that the heater was on.

But at that moment, the headlights went out, and the engine stopped.

"Um?"

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow.

Through the darkness, he saw a thin layer of frost on the windows of the BMW X5. Liu Min was huddled in the driver's seat, seemingly trying to withstand the cold.

"This woman..." Shen Wen was somewhat surprised, "is quite clever."

It is true that using the heater in a gasoline car consumes more fuel.

With the BMW X5's fuel tank capacity, if you leave the heater on all night, it will burn at least a third of the tank of gas by tomorrow morning.

She chose to turn off the engine and rely on the residual heat of the car body and her clothes to tough it out.

Although it's cold, it helps retain the oil.

"He's smart, but I don't know if he can handle it."

Shen Wen muttered something and looked away.

It's minus ten degrees Celsius, and there's no heating. I'm just brooding on a windproof jacket. If I have to endure this until dawn, I'll probably get sick from the cold.

But he didn't mean to meddle.

Everyone chooses their own path. Liu Min chose to save fuel, so she had to bear the cost of being cold.

Shen Wen continued to look out the window.

The night grew deeper and the temperature dropped.

The temperature display on the dial is slowly decreasing.

Current temperature: -7℃

Fine frost began to form on the car window, as if someone had painted an exquisite ice crystal picture on the glass.

Shen Wenzheng leaned back in the driver's seat, idly scrolling through regional channels. The temperature outside had dropped to minus eight degrees Celsius, but the car was warm and cozy.

He yawned, just getting ready to change his position—

"Bang!"

A loud slapping sound suddenly rang out.

Shen Wen shuddered and abruptly looked up.

A rotting face was pressed against the car window, its grayish-white eyes staring straight at him, and the viscous liquid dripping from the corner of its mouth left a disgusting trail on the glass.

Holy crap!

Shen Wen almost jumped up from his seat.

What the hell is going on here?

Wasn't it supposed to be an extreme cold nightmare? Wasn't it supposed to be minus ten degrees Celsius? How come these zombies are wandering around outside like nothing's wrong?

When the zombie couldn't budge the car window, it opened its mouth full of rotten teeth and gnawed fiercely at the glass.

"Creak—"

A teeth-grinding scraping sound rang out, and several cracks instantly appeared on the car window.

【载具提示：耐久度100/100......99/100......98/100......】

Shen Wen's expression hardened.

"Damn it, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Without saying a word, he made a thought.

[Giant Kun Dharma Body - Activated!]

The next moment, the pink and white Wuling Hongguang MINI began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Two meters...five meters...eight meters!

At the front of the vehicle, a huge, ancient beast's face slowly emerged, looking down at the zombie that stood frozen in place.

The zombie was clearly not quite right in the head; it stared blankly at the enormous creature that had suddenly appeared before it, its mouth still in a biting position.

Shen Wen stepped on the gas.

The car's front end, shaped like a giant Kun, slammed into the zombie with overwhelming force.

"Bang!!!"

The zombie flew like a baseball hit with a home run, flying more than ten meters away before exploding into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air.

[Defeat 1 zombie to obtain a white resource chest]

[Giant Kun Fuel Skill Activated]

[Being consumed...]

[Conversion complete: Energy gained +5%]

[Current vehicle energy: 64%]

Before Shen Wen could even catch his breath, the roar of an engine suddenly came from afar.

It's that BMW X5.

The headlights came on, the engine roared, and Liu Min's white SUV, like an enraged bull, rammed into another zombie that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"Bang!"

The zombie was knocked away, rolled several times on the ground, and lay still, twitching.

But Shen Wen's gaze did not linger on the zombie that had been knocked away.

He looked into the distance.

In the darkness, shadowy figures were moving in this direction.

One, two, three...

Six or seven zombies were approaching with stiff but determined steps.

Shen Wen's expression turned serious.

"The Extreme Cold Nightmare has no effect on monsters?"

His mind was racing.

At minus ten degrees Celsius, a normal person would have been frozen solid long ago, but these zombies were wandering around as if nothing had happened.

In other words, at night they not only have to face extreme cold, but also monsters?

"What the hell is this difficulty level?!" Shen Wen couldn't help but complain. "Black fog chasing you during the day, and extreme cold plus zombie hordes at night? Is this a beginner's village? This is clearly a hell mode start!"

The starting village was supposed to be the easiest, but Left 4 Dead tells you that who says the starting village has to be easy!

But soon, he paused, stunned.

That's not right.

He has the form of a giant Kun (a mythical fish), which can devour corpses to replenish his energy.

It has the form of a golden roc, and its energy consumption is reduced by 90%, so you can use the heater without any problems.

With spatial teleportation, you can always run away if you can't win a fight.

Others are afraid of the night, but what is he afraid of?

On the contrary, these zombies coming to our door are like free experience packs and energy packs!

Shen Wen's eyes lit up.

He looked at the zombies that were closing in, his gaze shifting from solemn to fiery, as if he were looking at a group of moving power banks.

"Perfect timing!" Shen Wen smiled. "I was just worried about running out of energy!"

He stepped on the gas, and the Wuling Hongguang MINI, in its giant Kun-like form, let out a deep roar and charged toward the two nearest zombies.

On the other hand, Liu Min's situation is not good.

After knocking one zombie away, she was about to turn around and run away when she found that more zombies were surrounding her.

Six or seven zombies surrounded them from different directions, forming a swarm.

"It's all over, it ......"

Liu Min's hands were trembling as she gripped the steering wheel.

Her BMW X5 was sturdy, but it couldn't withstand the hordes of zombies!

These things were like mad dogs, swatting and gnawing at the car. Several claw marks were already visible on the car body, and its durability was dropping rapidly.

What's more terrible is——

She dared not turn on the heater.

There's not much oil left.

We have to run away tomorrow, and the black fog is still chasing us. If we run out of fuel now, we'll be waiting to die tomorrow.

But without the heater on, the minus ten degree Celsius temperature already made her hands and feet stiff, and her reactions were a beat slower.

Liu Min gritted her teeth and suddenly turned the steering wheel.

The car swerved, shoving aside two zombies blocking its path, and sped off in another direction.

In the rearview mirror, the six or seven zombies indeed caught up.

Liu Min breathed a sigh of relief.

They've drawn them away.

She glanced at the eight-meter-long behemoth in the distance, then at the relentlessly pursuing zombies in the rearview mirror, and a bitter smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"Consider it... returning the treasure chest from this afternoon."

In the rearview mirror, the figures of the zombies were getting closer and closer.
