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

......

Shen Wengang crushed two zombies and was about to devour the corpses when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the BMW X5 running in another direction.

Six or seven zombies followed behind.

"Um?"

Shen Wen was stunned for a moment.

Is this woman trying to lure the zombies away?

He frowned.

To be honest, he didn't have much of a relationship with Liu Min. He helped her once in the afternoon, and she gave him a treasure chest; they were even.

Moreover, this woman had just tried to freeload off his hotpot, and her attempt to seduce him failed, leaving her embarrassed and angry.

Logically, he could have completely ignored it.

but......

Shen Wen glanced at the zombies chasing after the BMW, then at the white car silhouette that was getting smaller and smaller in the darkness in the distance.

"Never mind, Mr. Shen is kind-hearted; at least he doesn't seem like an ingrate!"

He stepped on the gas.

The Wuling Hongguang MINI, in the form of a giant Kun (a mythical fish), suddenly accelerated and chased after the direction in which the BMW had disappeared.

The passive ability of the Golden Roc form remains effective in the Giant Kun form, and the 90% reduction in energy consumption makes its acceleration ability far exceed that of ordinary vehicles.

In just over ten seconds, he caught up with the BMW.

Shen Wen rolled down the car window, and a blast of cold air rushed in, making him shiver.

"That beauty of the department!" he shouted ahead, "Stop!"

The BMW X5 paused noticeably for a moment.

Then, it really stopped.

Through the car window, Liu Min saw the eight-meter-long behemoth roar past and charge toward the group of zombies behind it.

"he......"

She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but found that her throat was a little blocked.

Shen Wen had no time to care what Liu Min was thinking.

All he could see now were those zombies.

Six.

No, seven.

One of them had just been hit by the BMW and was running a bit slower, but it was still following behind.

Come on, babies!

Shen Wen floored the accelerator.

The car, shaped like a giant Kun, crashed violently into the horde of corpses.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three loud bangs rang out in succession, and three zombies were sent flying, exploding into a bloody mist in mid-air.

Before the remaining four could react, they were crushed under the wheels of the massive vehicle.

"Crunch—crunch—"

A sickening sound of bones cracking rang out.

[Kill 3 zombies and obtain 3 white resource chests]

[Kill 4 zombies and obtain 4 white resource chests]

[Giant Kun Fuel Skill Activated]

[Being consumed...]

[Conversion complete: Energy gained +35%]

[Current vehicle energy: 86%]

System notification sounds rang out one after another.

Seven white treasure chests were scattered on the road, gleaming faintly in the darkness.

Shen Wen stopped the car, the giant Kun form was canceled, and the vehicle reverted to the pink and white chopped pepper fish head.

He got out of the car and started collecting the treasure chests.

One, two, three...

When he found the fifth one, he vaguely heard crying.

It was very light, very oppressive, like something you were desperately trying to hold back but couldn't.

Shen Wen paused for a moment.

He turned to look at the BMW X5.

The headlights were on, and the engine was still running, but the figure in the driver's seat was huddled up, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Shen Wen remained silent for two seconds.

Then he looked away and continued picking up the remaining two treasure chests.

After picking them up, he returned to his car and closed the door.

With the Golden Roc form activated and the heater on, the interior temperature quickly rose to a comfortable 20 degrees Celsius.

Shen Wen glanced at the energy display on the instrument panel: 86%.

With the 35% he just absorbed, he now has enough energy to boil water for a bath.

"Comfortable."

He leaned back in his chair and opened a white treasure chest he had just picked up.

[White Experience Card *1]

[Zombie Meat *2]

better than nothing.

Shen Wen put away the experience card, threw the zombie meat into the trunk, and then continued to browse the regional channel.

As for that BMW X5...

He didn't look at it again.

......

Liu Min didn't know how long she had been crying.

It could be a few minutes, or it could be half an hour.

She just huddled in the driver's seat, burying her face in her knees, her shoulders twitching.

The scene from just now kept replaying in her mind.

When that eight-meter-long behemoth charged at her, she thought she was going to die.

With so many zombies, even if she manages to kill a few by running them over, the rest will just gnaw her car to smithereens.

But that man...

He rushed over.

He ran over all the zombies and killed them.

Then he picked up the treasure chest and left without looking back.

There was no mockery, no boasting, and he didn't even glance at her.

It was like doing something insignificant.

Liu Min raised her head, wiped away her tears, and looked out the window at the pink and white steamed fish head with chopped peppers.

The car lights were on, and you could vaguely see the person leaning back in their seat, seemingly playing on their phone.

"That deadbeat straight man..."

Liu Min muttered something, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

She sniffed and turned on the heater in her car.

do not care.

If the oil runs out, so be it.

Anyway, tomorrow...

We'll talk about it tomorrow.

……

Five o'clock in the morning.

Current temperature: -10℃

This is the lowest temperature predicted by the system.

Shen Wen glanced out the window.

The frost on the car window was so thick that you couldn't see outside; you could only vaguely make out that the headlights of the BMW X5 were still on.

This woman... really burned all the oil?

Shen Wen frowned, but said nothing.

He opened a self-heating rice container and ate a hot breakfast with a can of luncheon meat.

After finishing his meal, he stretched and rubbed his eyes.

I haven't slept all night, so I'm really sleepy.

But it's almost dawn, so let's hold on a little longer.

He continued browsing channels, gathering information.

Judging from the comments on the channel, at least a third of the people died that night.

Some froze to death, some were dragged away by zombies through broken windows, and some ran out of fuel and could only wait to die.

tragic.

But this is the way to survive.

......

It was exactly six o'clock in the morning.

Temperature: -10℃......-8℃......-5℃......0℃......

Temperatures are starting to rise.

Shen Wen pushed open the car door and got out.

A blast of cold air hit me, but it wasn't as biting as it was in the middle of the night.

He glanced at the temperature display on the instrument panel: 18℃.

It's 3 degrees lower than the initial 21°C.

"As expected, we can't go back to where we started." Shen Wen said thoughtfully.

[Ding—Attention all survivors—]

[Congratulations to region D988, number of survivors: 21788881/30000000]

Regional exchanges are now officially open!

Survivors can access the trading interface through the vehicle system to post buy or sell requests. Prices must be negotiated between the two parties; the system does not intervene in pricing.

Shen Wen first noticed the area and number of survivors. What does the D899 area represent?

That means there are at least 888 more areas like this?

Is the road to survival really that vast?

Then, looking at the number of survivors, Shen Wen murmured, "Nearly a third died on the first day...isn't the survival rate too low?"

Shen Wen knew the first day would be brutal, but he didn't expect it to be this brutal.

But then he thought again, this probably includes those vehicles that are not cars, or those that have run out of energy.

Skateboards and other similar products are unlikely to survive, especially if they encounter a monster resembling a frilled lizard.

Moreover, this refers to the survivors, and probably does not include the freed. But it is enough to illustrate the extent of the tragedy.

"But none of that concerns me..."

Shen Wen put these data out of his mind; Master Shen was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see suffering.

What he cares about most is naturally the stock exchange.
