An asphalt road with no end in sight.
On both sides of the road are endless white snowfields.
Thick clouds blocked most of the sunlight, making the whole world look gloomy.
Snowflakes were falling, the cold wind invaded my skin, and the biting white air swept across the road.
Su Ran sat on a dilapidated jeep and frowned at the scene in front of her.
He remembered clearly that he fell asleep at home last night, but when he woke up, he found that he had come to this ghost place for some reason.
Su Ran put his hands on the steering wheel, looking through the front windshield at the end-of-the-world scene outside the car, and breathed out softly: "Is this... traveling through time?"
Although the tone was questioning, Su Ran was already very sure in her heart.
He looked away from the outside of the car and looked at everything inside the car carefully.
The instrument screen was cracked, there were several cracks in the seats, and even the steering wheel in the hand was loose and made a creaking sound with a little force. The whole car looked in tatters.
The situation inside the car made Su Ran's eyes twitch.
Then, my eyes were on the gas gauge.
A line of words appeared in his eyes.
[Remaining fuel volume: 100 liters, consumption 0.1 liters per kilometer. 】
He looked up at the dashboard.
On top lay a rusty crowbar.
[A low-quality crowbar can open supply boxes and can also be used for self-defense. 】
There is nothing else in the car.
"Can this old car still be driven?"
Just when Su Ran opened the car door and was about to get out of the car to check, a mechanized voice sounded from his mind.
【Welcome to the road survival game! The following are the rules of the game, please be sure to abide by them! 】
"1. Each player is randomly assigned an initial transportation vehicle, and other survival materials need to be found by yourself.
2. Various material boxes will be randomly scattered on the road or around it. Please collect them. They contain various survival materials you need.
3. There are not only supplies in the supply box, but also some unknown risks. Please be careful when facing each supply box.
4. Please upgrade your vehicle as soon as possible. Higher-level vehicles can help you resist more dangers.
5. Driving at night will encounter more dangers. Please do not drive at night unless necessary.
6. Don’t trust any player easily. They may be your allies or your enemies.
7. A disaster will occur every 7 days. Please make relevant preparations before the disaster occurs. The first disaster is: ice and snow storm!
8. If you die in any way in the game without special props, it is a real death!
9. Only adults who are in good health and age-appropriate can participate in this game. The elderly, children, and other unqualified persons will not participate in this game!
10. If you have more inquiries, please read the game panel silently. "
【Game announcement completed! 】
After listening to the system announcement carefully, Su Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, closed the car door, and sat back in the driver's seat. He planned to study the game system first.
Think of the system panel silently in your mind.
A transparent panel appeared before his eyes.
The content is very concise, with only five sections, namely [World Group Chat] [Regional Group Chat] [Workbench] [Mailbox] [Market]
"Group chat?" Su Ran was a little surprised. Is this because he was afraid that the players would be lonely?
With strong curiosity, he first entered the world group chat.
"Where is this place? Whose prank is this? I want to get out of here! Let me go!"
"It's so cold. Does any of you have thicker clothes? I'll change them with mineral water."
"I'm so hungry. Who can give me something to eat? I'm starving to death. This great kindness will never be forgotten!"
"Do you have anything else in your car besides the crowbar? Is there any water?"
One message after another jumped like crazy, but unfortunately these people were just complaining, and there wasn’t much useful information.
At this time, Su Ran noticed a line at the bottom of the chat interface: "Number of speeches today: 1 time."
[Warm reminder: The number of speeches in the world group chat is currently once, and each time a disaster is overcome, the number of speeches will increase by one. 】
"Is this to restrict players from exchanging information?" Su Ran touched his chin, thinking with some uncertainty.
According to the comments in the group chat, the situation of each player is the same, one car and one crowbar.
Su Ran turned her attention to the regional group chat.
As soon as he came in, Su Ran noticed something different. There was a line of words "Number of players: 8,000" right above the group chat interface.
And regional group chats do not limit speech.
Each player's avatar is a real person's face photo, and the ID on the top is also their real name.
Su Ran did not speak in it, because the content of the chat was similar to that in the world group chat, and they were all information without practical significance.
Su Ran exited the regional group chat and continued to study the game panel.
Two chat groups can share information.
The workbench can synthesize low-level materials into high-level materials and create items, but making items requires drawings.
The mailbox can send and receive private messages, and you can communicate with players one-on-one.
The market is a trading platform where players can buy, sell and exchange materials.
After studying all the section functions and figuring out each function, Su Ran exited the game panel.
The situation is already clear, this is a real large-scale online survival game.
Regardless of whether Su Ran can accept it or not, he has already participated anyway, and all he can do now is to develop according to the progress of the game.
Su Ran sighed heavily, stretched out his hand and twisted the key to start the car.
Stepping on the accelerator, the old second-hand jeep drove forward.
There were no other vehicles on the wide asphalt lane, and there was no need to worry about being caught speeding, but Su Ran still slowed down the car and scanned both sides of the road, looking for the supply box.
Unfortunately, along the way, apart from the vast white snow, there was only this seemingly endless road, and not a single supply box was seen.
The scenery on both sides of the road remains unchanged. It is always endless snow and dead trees covered with frost flowers. Just like this road, there is no end in sight.
The cold wind howled by, making Su Ran feel cold even in the car.
He was wearing thin clothes and couldn't bear it any longer, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Su Ran raised the car window and wanted to turn on the heater to keep himself warm. He trembled and tried for a long time, and finally warm air blew out of the vents.
Although this shabby car doesn't even have air conditioning, luckily the heater can be turned on without air conditioning, otherwise it would be troublesome.
Su Ran continued to drive for 5 kilometers. His body temperature had warmed up and his body stopped shaking. The temperature inside the car became a bit hot.
At this time, a wooden box on the roadside caught Su Ran's attention.
A wooden box about half a meter long was placed in the snow, and the top of the box was covered with a thin layer of snow.
"Is that the supply box?"
Su Ran slowly stopped the car but did not turn off the engine. He picked up the crowbar, opened the door and walked out.
The biting cold air hit, Su Ran shivered, and her body temperature dropped rapidly.
He walked quickly to the wooden box, looked at the wooden box, and a line of words appeared.
[The basic material box may contain survival materials or unknown dangers. 】
"This is indeed a supply box. Opportunities and crises coexist. Are you trying to compete for your character? Why am I a little panicked for no reason..." Su Ran felt a little uneasy.
Just when Su Ran was about to pry open the box, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing across the ground.
"Who!" He quickly turned his head and looked over, holding the crowbar tightly in his hand.
I saw a figure slowly rising from the black shadow on the ground, wearing a black ninja uniform, blue skin, and blood-red eyes.
Bang!
The crowbar in Su Ran's hand slipped and fell on the asphalt road with a crisp sound.
"This is... a ghost ninja?" Su Ran felt a little confused as she felt the connection between herself and the other party.
