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

Huo Yunzhi ignored it at first, but the private chat notification kept ringing.

She had no choice but to put down the iced cola she hadn't even drunk yet and open the chat interface.

[Iron Wolf]: Hello, have you encountered a service area today?

I remember this player, Huo Yunzhi. When she spoke in the world chat, she seemed like a very upright person.

However, seeing that he immediately asked about the service area, Huo Yunzhi was still cautious and did not reveal her information first.

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: Did you encounter this?

[Iron Wolf]: Yes, the service area I encountered today was a bank, and it was completely polluted, with a total of eight rules.

Upon seeing the words "completely polluted," Huo Yunzhi became serious.

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: You didn't go in?

[Iron Wolf]: We're inside.

?

They're inside?

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: So how did you manage to survive?

[Iron Wolf]: Most of the bank's rules are focused on security, so I took care of all the security guards before I even got in.

……

Is this a human being?

[Crayon Shin-chan's Eyes]: So what do you want from me?

[Iron Wolf]: I wanted to ask if you still have that outfit. I got a lot of Survival Coins from the bank and I'd like to buy a few sets from you.

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: I don't have many left either, how many do you want to buy?

[Iron Wolf]: I want 5 sets.

As Steel Wolf spoke, a trade window popped up, and Survival Coins were already shining brightly in the trade window.

Huo Yunzhi didn't hesitate and directly traded the thermal underwear over.

Then, after considering Iron Wolf's combat strength, she added a bunch of friends before closing the chat window.

After seeing off the important client, Huo Yunzhi could finally enjoy the delicious food.

The self-heating hot pot brought a fresh, fragrant, spicy, and numbing flavor that made Huo Yunzhi, who had been eating bread for two days in a row, feel like she wanted to shake her head and sway her body.

The satisfaction that iced cola brought her reached its peak.

After eating and drinking her fill, Huo Yunzhi lay on the bed looking through vehicle upgrade cards.

This thing can't be used directly; you need to gather all the materials to combine them for use.

To upgrade her vehicle to a Tier 2 vehicle, she is currently missing either an electric engine blueprint or a finished electric engine.

She scrolled back and forth across the trading interface.

Although we found a few electric motor blueprints, the price they were asking for was just too high.

Suddenly, a blue prop caught her attention.

【Service Area Stop Card (Normal)】: After use, a service area ranked between 300 and 400 will be generated one kilometer ahead on the highway. Users can choose whether to enter.

Perhaps because so many people have encountered service areas this year, and so many people haven't survived to leave one, this card is hanging in the service area, and although it can be obtained for just two bottles of mineral water, no one is exchanging it.

nice one.

Huo Yunzhi immediately locked onto this card.

The warm clothing store she encountered today is located in the service area of ​​this ranking range, which can be said to be almost completely safe.

If she's lucky, she might even be able to advance her rank as a ghost messenger.

Huo Yunzhi quickly uploaded two bottles of mineral water and obtained the service area parking card.

Looking at the shiny card in her hand, Huo Yunzhi really wanted to use it right away.

But the menacing ghosts outside made her abandon the idea.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow during the day."

She put the parking card back in her backpack, closed her eyes, and forced herself to fall asleep as soon as possible.

The next day, Huo Yunzhi woke up just as dawn broke.

After checking her current mileage and confirming that it would allow her to stay home all day, she crushed the service area parking card.

Then, a strange building appeared by the roadside.

Huo Yunzhi frowned, staring at the service area in front of her.

Unlike the warm and cozy clothing store, there was no one in this service area, only the rumbling sound of electric motors.

Huo Yunzhi walked to the entrance of the service area, observed for two minutes, and then pushed the door open and went inside.

The service area was messy and looked like a car repair shop.

Just like the repair shop I remember, the space here is about 60 square meters and has been carefully divided into many functional areas.

Huo Yunzhi immediately spotted the various repair tools and car parts placed together with the tires.

At that moment, a mechanical voice came from the computer at the cashier's counter by the door.

Welcome to our unmanned repair shop. Please listen carefully and follow our rules and regulations.

First, this shop operates on an unmanned model. All items must be purchased with Survival Coins. You must settle all accounts before leaving the shop. If you leave any items behind, it will be considered malicious evasion of payment, and the shop will harvest your organs to offset the debt based on the value of the items.

[Secondly, our products are categorized by blue labels and red labels. Blue labels indicate items sold at the original price, while red labels indicate items sold at half price. The items with red labels vary depending on the time period.]

Third, if you find any items with black labels in our store, please do not touch them. Those are not products! Those are not products!!! Those are not products!!!

"Three rules? Just like the service area in Warm Warm, looks like I'm in luck."

Huo Yunzhi carefully reviewed the rules several more times. After finding no traps, she began to calculate how many goods she needed.

Based on her first impression of the GG synthesized vehicle, if she upgrades to a level 2 vehicle, she might have another chance to synthesize and modify it.

These car parts are then very useful.

Once she found the contaminated area and cleaned it up, she took all the accessories she wanted!

After making up her mind, Huo Yunzhi began searching for contaminated areas in the service area.

However, ten minutes... twenty minutes... thirty minutes passed.

Huo Yunzhi had already explored every place she could, but still couldn't find the location of the contaminated area.

"Could it be that there is no pollution?" Huo Yunzhi began to wonder if she had entered a service area that had just been purified by other ghost messengers.

"Even if it has been purified, it's still too clean."

It's worth noting that even after she finished purifying the clothing store, there was still a red core of pollution surrounding the mist.

This service area is a bit odd.

Huo Yunzhi flipped through the rules of this service area, her gaze settling on the third rule.

"Products with black labels..." Huo Yunzhi felt that this was the key point: "It was repeated three times in a row, with strong wording and a sense of fear. These black-labeled items are definitely extraordinary and are very likely related to pollution."

Huo Yunzhi began searching for products with black labels.

Unfortunately, she searched the entire service area again but found no items with black labels.

Unable to find any contaminants, Huo Yunzhi was unable to initiate the purification process.

If you can't clean up the pollution, you won't get the survival coins as a reward.

Without any survival coins as a reward, she has to use the survival coins she earned last time to buy accessories.

She had already looked at them; none of the parts were cheap.

The electric motor she had been longing for was priced at 8000 Survival Coins!

"This is troublesome." Huo Yunzhi slumped into a chair and sighed helplessly. "Fortunately, there's no time limit at this repair shop. Let's wait and see how things develop."

About half an hour later, the clock on the wall of the service area pointed to seven o'clock.

The little bird inside the clock flew out, chirped a few times, and then went back inside.

"Clatter"

A very faint sound caught Huo Yunzhi's attention.

She opened her eyes and looked at the ground not far away.

A bag of screws with black labels lay quietly on the ground.
