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

The frilled lizard suddenly exerted force with its four thick legs, and its body charged towards Shen Wen like a cannonball.

The speed is astonishing!

Its mouth was wide open, revealing a mouthful of fine, sharp teeth, and it hissed menacingly from its throat.

In the blink of an eye, it rushed to within ten meters of the Wuling Hongguang MINI.

Shen Wen sat in the car, looking at the mutated frilled lizard with its claws outstretched and wings fully extended, his expression unchanged.

He even had the leisure to raise an eyebrow.

"Such a big fuss?"

He murmured to himself.

Then--

【Giant Kun Dharma Body - Activated】

next moment.

The mutated frilled lizard, which was charging at full speed, suddenly felt a darkness before its eyes.

Before its not-so-bright brain could even process what was happening, it saw the small white car, which was originally about the same size as itself, expanding at an incredible speed.

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

At the front of the vehicle, a huge, ancient, seemingly primordial beast's face slowly emerged, looking down at it from above.

The car's lines became smooth and powerful, every inch exuding an explosive sense of power.

The rear of the car rose slightly, like a whale gathering its strength before swishing its tail.

The mutated frilled lizard's umbrella wings were still open, but at this moment, those two huge skin folds had completely lost their intimidating power.

Because it discovered—

He was charging towards a real behemoth.

A behemoth several times larger than it.

Shen Wen sat in the driver's seat, looking at the frilled lizard standing there in a daze through the windshield, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Then he floored the accelerator.

The Wuling Hongguang MINI, shaped like a giant Kun (a mythical fish), emitted a deep rumble, a roar from a deep-sea monster.

The car suddenly lurched forward.

"Bang--!!!"

A loud bang.

The mutated frilled lizard didn't even have time to react before it was hit head-on by the giant Kun-shaped car.

Its body flew out like a tattered sack, arcing through the air before crashing heavily onto the edge of the road.

[Defeat 1 Mutant Frilled Lizard to obtain 2 White Resource Chests]

A system notification sounded.

Shen Wen stopped the car, the giant Kun form was canceled, and the vehicle reverted to its original cute chopped chili fish head form.

He pushed open the door and went out.

He walked over to the carcass of the mutated frilled lizard and glanced down at it.

This monster was baring its fangs and claws just a moment ago.

He was now completely lifeless, a trickle of dark red blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his eyes wide open, as if he hadn't understood anything even in death.

I came here to hunt, so how did I end up being killed by a metal monster?

Shen Wen squatted down, looking at the two white treasure chests that had just exploded on the ground, and then at the treasure chest emitting a green light not far away.

He suddenly remembered what had just happened.

The sight of the mutated frilled lizard charging at you with its umbrella-like wings spread is indeed quite intimidating.

pity--

"I thought it was a speed bump!"

The hood at the front of the car opened, and an invisible suction force appeared out of nowhere, sucking the frilled lizard's corpse directly inside.

[Giant Kun Fuel Skill Activated]

[Being devoured...]

[Conversion complete: Energy gained +15%]

[Current vehicle energy: 41%]

Shen Wen nodded in satisfaction.

Activating the Giant Kun Dharma Body just now consumed some energy, but now that I've swallowed this umbrella lizard, I've not only replenished it, but I've also gained some.

As expected, Mom no longer has to worry about me not finding a gas station.

He walked over to the two white treasure chests and opened them.

[White Experience Card *2]

【Lizard meat*3】

White Modification Part - Lizard Skin (Can be used for low-level vehicle modifications, occupies one modification slot)

Effect: Increases the camouflage effect on the car body.

"Tsk, white is white, the loot is just so-so." Shen Wen shook his head, put away the experience card, and turned his gaze to the treasure chest that was emitting a faint green light.

This is the main event.

He walked quickly to the abandoned vending machine, squatted down, and reached out to open the green treasure chest.

[Open the Green Resource Chest to receive:]

[Green Experience Card *1: Grants 50 experience points to the vehicle upon use]

[White Vehicle Modification Blueprint - Bumper Bar Reinforcement *1]

[Steel * 120 jin]

[Self-heating hot pot *3]

A tattered diary

Shen Wen's eyes lit up.

Green EXP Card, 50 EXP Points!

Adding the 30 experience points from before, plus the two experience cards I just got, plus this green experience card, that makes a total of 100 experience points.

You can draw another gold affix once you reach level 2!

Shen Wen took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

The rest wasn't urgent; what intrigued Shen Wen was this tattered diary.

The diary's cover was badly damaged, with stains that looked like bloodstains on the edges. The paper was yellowed and brittle, as if it would break at the slightest touch.

He carefully turned to the first page.

Day 3

My name is Li Ming, and I'm a truck driver. I don't know what happened; I woke up on this damn highway.

My truck is still here, but it's low on fuel. There's a black fog chasing after me; I can see it moving.

Day 5

I've noticed a pattern. The black fog only moves during the day and stops at night. But during the day, it moves very fast, at least 20 kilometers per hour.

I tried stopping to observe; it was far away in the morning, but much closer in the afternoon. I have to keep running, I have to keep running.

Day 7

I met other people today, and they told me something: there are many monsters in the black fog, and car lights won't do any good.

No one who was swallowed up ever came out. I dared not stop, not even at night, for I was afraid that when I opened my eyes I would see the black mist already in front of me.

Day 9

My gas is almost gone. I see a gas station ahead, but it's guarded by monsters. I have no choice; staying in means certain death, but going in offers a glimmer of hope. I hope God helps me…

The diary ends here.

On the last page was a line of hastily written words, as if it had been written before death:

Don't stop, don't trust anyone, the black fog...

Behind it was a blurry bloodstain, too obscured to see clearly.

Shen Wen closed his diary and remained silent for a long time.

The black fog only moves during the day.

The speed is 20 kilometers per hour.

A speed of 20 kilometers per hour, that is to say.

If the survivors stop and rest for eight hours, the black fog will advance 160 kilometers.

And those that run slowly and have poor range, like those on bicycles and skateboards.

Once caught up by the black mist...

Shen Wen took a deep breath.

He opened the world chat channel, pondered for a moment, and began typing.

[Just received some intelligence. The black fog only moves during the day, at a speed of approximately 20 kilometers per hour. It stops at night.]

However, the situation inside the black fog is very dangerous; those who are swallowed up basically cannot get out. Do what you think is best.

The world channel was silent for a few seconds.

Then it exploded.

[Bro, where did you get this information? Is it reliable?]

[20 kilometers per hour during the day... Does that mean if you start at 8 a.m. and stop at 6 p.m., you'd have to drive 200 kilometers a day?]

[200 kilometers?! My Chery QQ only goes 150 kilometers on a full charge! This is killing me!]

[...My Yadea reached 60 km/h on a full charge. Goodbye.]

So the game's premise is that the slowest players die. What about my skateboard?
