I started on a rocking horse and relied on watching ads to dominate the highway survival charts.

[I. Starting today, daytime hours will be shortened. Daytime will be from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily; vehicles will be prohibited from moving during the remaining hours.]

[II. Vehicle safety zone optimization: The safety zone for all vehicles has been uniformly reduced to 8 meters.]

[III. All highways will enter a month-long "Extreme Cold Mode," with minimum temperatures dropping to -50°C, followed by cold waves, blizzards, and other weather events. Considering the inconvenience of travel during extreme cold, the daily Honkai Impact mileage will be adjusted to 2000 kilometers, allowing players who cannot complete the task to exit the game as soon as possible.]

After reading the completely new announcement, Huo Yunzhi couldn't help but gasp.

Extreme cold, shortened daylight hours, and shrinking safe zones.

Each of these features alone would be quite challenging for players, and now this damn system has combined all three into one.

[SHN Refund]: It's minus fifty degrees Celsius! Hahaha, everyone, I'm doomed now. My vehicle is just a small three-wheeled vehicle without a roof.

【I am Qin Shi Huang】: What do you mean by "inconvenient to travel, so the distance has been adjusted to 2000 kilometers"? Isn't that double the distance?! System, have you ever seen a human speak?

[Weekend Robin]: What do you mean by reducing daytime hours? You call this improving the survival experience? System, are you from the Three Kingdoms Kill project team?

[Iron Wolf]: Don't turn off the engine tonight; keep it running, otherwise the vehicle may not be able to start tomorrow.

[Emperor Jianwen on the run]: Yes, yes, and fuel too. I bought a lot of fuel at a gas station service area before, and it's already available in the store. You can buy it as needed.

In three seconds, all the fuel in Emperor Jianwen's shop was sold out.

Food prices in the trading area have been soaring, while fuel and batteries are in high demand but priceless.

Panic began to spread wildly among the players.

At this moment, Wen Zhaoye suddenly spoke in the public chat.

【I Have a Logic Cat】: It's alright. The conditions are a bit tougher after this update, but at least there's still the race distance, giving everyone some buffer time. We can use this buffer period to move around as much as possible during the day, collect reinforcement alloys and vehicle parts, and upgrade our vehicles as soon as possible. That should be enough to handle the road conditions in the extreme cold mode.

[My Logic Cat got banned for three hours]

The system's blatant attempt to conceal something resulted in a surge of friend requests for Wen Zhaoye.

[White Rabbit Milk Candy]: Banning me won't help, everyone saw it! Everyone hurry and add Logic Cat as a friend, then ask for the complete guide! Just a side note, I'm looking to buy some enhancement alloy!

[October 1st and Mid-Autumn Festival CP Haters]: What about those of us who didn't participate in the race? Are we just supposed to die?!

[Chenpi White Tea Fully Approved]: I'm still missing two vehicle parts? I can exchange them with items.

Chenpi Baicha showed a [Companion Card]. Huo Yunzhi saw the description "You can invite a player to merge with you on the highway" and was excitedly preparing to exchange when she saw that the item had already been exchanged.

The person I'm exchanging partners with is 【I Have a Logic Cat】.

Huo Yunzhi opened a small group chat with five people.

【Crayon Shin-chan Eyes】: @【I Have a Logic Cat】, have you used that companion card item yet?

【I have a logic cat】: Already used.

Wen Zhaoye sent me a photo: a simple vehicle's back seat, with two silly-looking dogs sticking their tongues out at the camera.

【I Have a Logic Cat】: Do you have needs too?

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: No, I was just thinking of stocking up on one.

Huo Yunzhi, seeing that Wen Zhaoye wanted to take Su Anning away on the sled, directly revealed her earlier thoughts.

【I Have a Logic Cat】: We'll all keep an eye out for you, and hopefully the big boss can provide enough resources for the exchange.

When Wen Zhaoye said this, he sounded like a shrewd businessman.

[Crayon Shin-chan's Eyes]: No problem.

Huo Yunzhi turned off the light screen and looked at the sky outside the car.

Although it was already past midnight and she couldn't see very well, Huo Yunzhi could still hear the howling wind.

Occasionally, a few white snowflakes would fall.

Stimulated by the system's announcement, Huo Yunzhi couldn't sleep anymore.

Considering that she had found plenty of hot pot ingredients in the diamond treasure chest this time, she decided to treat herself to a hot pot meal before bed.

By the time she had arranged all the ingredients, large snowflakes had already begun to fall outside the window.

The wind rustled through the snowflakes that were already standing on the ground, but thankfully it was still warm and cozy inside the RV.

Huo Yunzhi, wrapped in a soft blanket and wearing only loose loungewear, sat quietly at the table.

The wooden table fixed to the RV was packed full of things, and a pot of tomato soup was bubbling away, the fragrant steam rising and filling half the room.

Tripe, beef rolls, lamb rolls, grouper slices, soft tofu, shrimp paste, and various green vegetables were neatly arranged on a porcelain plate. The steam, mixed with the aroma of the food, slowly spread throughout the RV.

Huo Yunzhi took a small spoon and ladled herself a spoonful of tomato soup, along with some finely chopped beef. One bite and she felt completely revitalized.

Fufu sat obediently opposite her, gently biting the extra-large battery that Huo Yunzhi had specially prepared for it, and ate with Huo Yunzhi.

"It's good that you're here to eat hot pot with me."

Huo Yunzhi patted Fufu's head and suddenly remembered that when she ate at Hedi Lao before, the waitress always put a teddy bear like this across from her.

Fufu tilted her head slightly, her fluffy fur swaying gently: "From now on, Fufu will eat with her sister every day."

The hot pot was still boiling, and the steam felt warm on my face, but outside the car window, the wind and snow were already raging.

Huo Yunzhi opened the car window a crack and then stuck her arm out.

Within just a few dozen seconds, she felt the temperature drop.

"The temperature dropped too quickly. If we had taken a chance and hadn't prepared for the cold, many people would probably have frozen to death. It's a good thing that Su Anning was taken away by Wen Zhaoye."

As Huo Yunzhi was speaking, she suddenly remembered that she had a vehicle belonging to an acquaintance, which was also completely exposed and without any shelter.

She tapped the light screen and pointed her finger at a name.

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: How are you doing?

[Bang Bang will give you two punches]: Sister Huo, I'm fine!

Qin Yuanshan replied to the message very quickly.

[Bangbang will give you two punches]: I was lucky enough to find a service area today, and I didn't have to stop for long. I'm in the service area now, and I'm not going out tonight.

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: That's good. After you upgraded your vehicle, did you only ever have a horse?

[Bangbang will give you two punches]: No, I'm currently a level 2 vehicle, so I only have a small trailer. I estimate I can get a carriage at level 3, but that's still a long way off. I'll look for one more time in the next few years.

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: What's missing?
