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

Where did you get these scissors?! Who told you to do this?!

Even the electronic sounds of the system betrayed a hint of collapse.

"A female ghost messenger surnamed Meng should be easy to find; you can go look for her."

【Meng...Meng...Never mind! Let it go this time! But you're absolutely not allowed to do this again, understand?】

Huo Yunzhi keenly sensed the system's "fear" of Meng Changyi from its attitude, and became even more focused on the matter of the ghost messenger's upgrade.

The wind and snow outside grew heavier and heavier. Looking at the accumulated snow, Huo Yunzhika made a very important decision without hesitation.

She's going to boil water to take a bath today!

After all, bathing with drinking water is too extravagant, but this snow water is free!

Huo Yunzhi hurriedly ran to the RV, moved the folding bathtub from the camping kit in the corner to the RV door, and then began shoveling snow one shovel at a time.

Finally, after closing the RV door, use the Blazing Lotus to melt the snow and then heat it up.

After doing all this, Huo Yunzhi took off her clothes and went into the bathtub.

Hot water rose from her ankles, inch by inch, covering her calves, knees, thighs, until it reached her shoulders.

Although it's a bathtub, the interior is quite large.

Huo Yunzhi slowly sank down, her body becoming light and airy under the soothing warmth of the hot water, as if she were about to float, while a gentle warmth pressed her down.

Under the steamy mist, her face soon became slightly hot.

Huo Yunzhi stretched in the water and leaned comfortably against the edge of the bathtub.

Outside the RV, a blizzard raged, and the sound of snowflakes being blown by the wind hitting the windows could be heard from time to time. Huo Yunzhi lay comfortably in the warm water.

"Now that I don't have a phone, I can't watch any short videos."

Huo Yunzhi pointed her finger in mid-air and opened the world channel: "Just treat this as the nighttime news."

The world channel is as lively as ever.

For some reason, the Jianwen Emperor, who was on the run, started singing "Little Cabbage" in the comments section.

Huo Yunzhi scrolled up and found out that he had developed a Level 2 vehicle, but the power had been changed from electric to gasoline, and the batteries he had stockpiled were now useless.

Considering that her RV was a hybrid and that Fufu also needed to consume batteries, Huo Yunzhi traded all the batteries that Emperor Jianwen had at the current market price.

Emperor Jianwen happily called him "godfather" several times in private chat, and only stopped after Huo Yunzhi stopped him.

The moment the transaction was completed, a comment in the comments section caught Huo Yunzhi's attention.

【Peace and Tranquility Every Year】: Has anyone found a service area today?

[White Rabbit Milk Candy]: We haven't gone very far, where did the service area come from?

【Peace and Tranquility Every Year】: The probability of service areas appearing has increased now, right? Today I found a strange light service area. It's a service area that can be entered by multiple people, and it was crowded with people, but there were no parallel lanes.

[Rum Raisin Ice Cream]: So how did you get there?

【Peace and Tranquility Every Year】: It means that a road suddenly appears on the road, and there is a sign above the road. Follow it and you will see a service area and parking lot.

Huo Yunzhi was drawn to the message: "Being able to enter the same service area... it seems that there will be times when players cooperate on this highway in the future."

She took out the service area she got from Meng Changyi and played with it: "Anyway, I have enough mileage. I'll go to this service area tomorrow. After the ghost messenger is upgraded, Honglian will be able to store more karma, which will provide an extra layer of protection for the journey ahead."

Having made up her mind, Huo Yunzhi stood up and left the bathtub as the water began to cool down.

After taking a nice, warm bath, Huo Yunzhi slept especially well that night.

The weather was still terrible the next day.

Fortunately, most players have already upgraded to level 2 vehicles.

After finishing breakfast, Huo Yunzhi took out her special contaminated area parking card to use.

A tall building appeared in the distance by the roadside. Huo Yunzhi braved the wind and snow and took two steps closer before she could see its full appearance.

[Service Area: Lijing Hotel]

Service Area Ranking: No. 588

Pollution level: Severe

[Note: This server requires 15 players to officially check in.]

"I didn't expect to run into them so soon." Huo Yunzhi recalled the news she saw on the world channel last night: "So the special nature of special service areas is not just because of their high level of pollution."

Huo Yunzhi walked to the hotel lobby entrance and looked inside, finding that there were already 13 players waiting.

There were also various vehicles of different sizes parked next to the hotel entrance, which must have come in directly from the side road.

Refrigerated trucks, school buses, bulldozers, ambulances...

"Um?"

Huo Yunzhi frowned as she looked at the familiar ambulance.

Compared to the last one, the ambulance's tires and body have been significantly reinforced, and it's even equipped with a road condition detector.

Xu Xiu is actually in this service area?

Just as Huo Yunzhi was about to go in, she heard a "tap tap tap" sound behind her.

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder as Qin Yuanshan, sitting outside the carriage, drove it at breakneck speed.

Before long, the man and his horse arrived at the service area parking lot.

Seeing Huo Yunzhi there, Qin Yuanshan waved to her like a beckoning cat: "Boss! You're here too! Hey, you're amazing!"

He parked the carriage and looked up at the hotel: "This lousy place requires 15 people to open, it's like a dungeon."

"After all, it's heavily polluted." Huo Yunzhi could already feel the temperature at the service area entrance. She took off her hat and scarf. "If you include the two of us, then we're all here."

"Yeah, this is my first time entering a heavily polluted service area. I don't know what it's like inside."

Qin Yuanshan tugged at the strap of his backpack: "But no matter what, don't worry, boss, I'll definitely be your best helper."

"Since you're the best helper, then stop calling me 'boss'." Huo Yunzhi took two steps forward, then turned back to look at Qin Yuanshan in a lighthearted tone: "You weren't calling me that when we chatted privately before."

"Okay, Sister Huo!" Qin Yuanshan changed his mind very quickly: "Shall we go in now?"

"Okay, come back soon." Huo Yunzhi lifted her foot and walked inside first.

Qin Yuanshan followed Huo Yunzhi into the Lijing Hotel.

Just as the two people had completely entered, the blood moon outside suddenly flickered.

Half a minute later, the blood moon emitted several strange beams of light, which were projected in various directions along the road. One of them stopped right on the signboard of the Lijing Hotel.

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

The information in the service area began to change subtly.
