Lin Hui's pupils contracted slightly.
A golden wheel appeared before him, visible only to him.
The wheel spun slowly, then finally stopped.
A card radiating brilliant golden light materialized in midair.
[Trait name: Infinite] [Quality: Golden Legend] [Type: Rule-based] [Attributes: Grants the target the "Infinite" property. If applied to a vehicle-mounted weapon, ammunition becomes infinite; if applied to a water tank, clean water becomes infinite...] [Use now?]
As Lin Hui stared at the word "Infinite," his usually steady heart suddenly thumped twice.
In this resource-starved apocalyptic wasteland, what mattered most?
Water? Food? Bullets?
No.
For Lin Hui right now, as long as his vehicle could move, anything was possible.
If it couldn't move, even mountains of gold and silver were just scrap metal!
Lin Hui instinctively glanced at the side mirror on his left.
A chilling scene was reflected in it.
At the far end of the horizon, a gray wall of fog stretching from earth to sky was slowly advancing.
That silent, oppressive presence inspired more despair than a tsunami.
Lin Hui took a deep breath. Without another moment's hesitation, he reached out and tapped the air.
"Use trait. Target-the RV's fuel tank!"
Hum!
A streak of golden light instantly shot beneath the vehicle.
The next second, something miraculous happened.
The fuel gauge needle, which had been flashing red, shot upward wildly as though it had been pumped full of stimulants.
One-quarter... one-half... three-quarters...
It slammed against the "F (full)" mark and even kept trembling slightly, as though the tank were about to overflow!
[Trait applied successfully!] [Current vehicle fuel tank has been converted into: Infinite Fuel Reactor.] (Fuel cannot be extracted.) [Property 1: Fuel remains at 100% and never runs out.] [Property 2: The engine never fails, combustion efficiency increases by 200%, and power output doubles.] [Property 3: No need to shut down the engine. Excess energy automatically converts into onboard electricity.]
"Heh..."
Lin Hui couldn't help laughing aloud.
In this world, fuel was blood. Fuel was life.
In a world where everyone fought tooth and nail over a single drop of fuel, he now possessed infinite energy.
That meant that as long as he didn't get himself killed doing something stupid, this RV was a genuine perpetually powered fortress!
Meanwhile, the Regional Channel was still filled with desperate cries.
"I started my car! But I'm scared to step on the gas. Can I save fuel by rolling along at idle?"
"Hey, buddy up ahead, don't brake! Let your momentum carry you!"
"Twenty kilometers an hour should be the most fuel-efficient speed, right? But the black fog moves at thirty! We're going to die!"
"As long as I'm just a little faster than you, you're the one who dies! Run, everyone!"
"I threw all the mattresses out of my vehicle to save fuel by reducing the weight!"
Watching these players quibble over saving a few drops of fuel, even stripping their vehicles to lighten the load, Lin Hui shook his head.
He sat up straight, adjusted the driver's seat, and fastened his seat belt.
Then he stomped down with his right foot!
Pedal straight to the floor!
ROAR-!!!
Enhanced by [Hyper-Efficient Combustion], the old diesel engine unleashed a furious roar that no vehicle of its weight should have produced!
It was the roar of an awakening beast!
A powerful surge of acceleration instantly hit, pinning Lin Hui firmly against his seat.
The formerly cumbersome Class C RV was now like a raging bull. Thick black smoke belched from its exhaust, and its tires scraped violently against the desolate road with an ear-piercing screech.
SCREECH-ROAR!
The RV shot forward!
The speedometer climbed wildly.
0... 20... 40... 60... 80... 100!
In just a few seconds, the battered RV had hit a hundred kilometers an hour!
The scenery outside raced backward, and the once deathly still wasteland blurred into streaks.
At that very moment, on the same road...
Several hundred meters away, a player who was carefully working the accelerator, trying to maintain thirty-five kilometers an hour, suddenly heard a thunderous engine roar behind him.
"What's that sound? An earthquake?"
He looked at his rearview mirror in terror.
A massive white vehicle trailing billowing dust blasted past him like a shell fired from a cannon, with utterly brazen, savage speed!
WHOOSH-!
The gust swept up sand and stones, sending them rattling against his windows.
The player stared, dumbstruck, as the RV's taillights rapidly receded and vanished over the horizon.
"Holy shit?!!"
"Dude! Is fuel free for you?!"
"Is that an RV or a rocket?!"
"Bro! Take me with you! I'll do anything!!"
Lin Hui couldn't hear the cries behind him.
With one hand on the wheel, he felt the engine's relentless, surging power and watched the fuel gauge needle remain firmly fixed at full.
Now this was survival.
This was what feeling safe meant!
[Current status updated] [Vehicle: Civilian Class C RV (heavily modified model)] [Level: Lv.1] [Defense: 20] (Note: Barely withstands scratches from level 1 zombies.) [Weight: 3 tons] [Space: 8 cubic meters] [Durability: 50% (Moderate wear on front left tire; replacement recommended)] [Fuel: ∞ (Infinite)] [Externally mounted weapons: None] [Speed: 100 km/h (racing at top speed)] [Overall assessment: A perpetually powered RV with infinite power. As long as the front left tire doesn't blow, death can't catch you!]
Lin Hui narrowed his eyes as he gazed down the endless road ahead.
"Step one: I survived."
"Next... time to look for supply crates."
"A hundred thousand supply crates in total... how many can I find?"
One minute later.
Lin Hui finally spotted supply crates on the road.
They resembled wooden treasure chests, but their surfaces glowed green.
Seeing no zombies nearby, Lin Hui quickly got out and dragged a supply crate into the RV.
When he opened it, he found a can of dark liquid inside.
The system immediately displayed an information window.
[Name: Universal Fuel ×1] [Type: Consumable] [Quality: Common] [Special effect: Can fuel any vehicle. One unit of Universal Fuel allows a vehicle to travel one hundred kilometers.]
It was actually Universal Fuel!
Although he already had infinite fuel and his RV no longer needed refueling, Lin Hui wasn't disappointed.
He didn't need Universal Fuel, but the other players did.
In this survival game where vehicles reigned supreme, Universal Fuel was liquid gold, immensely valuable!
Over the next stretch of time, Lin Hui raced his RV down the roads of the Zombie Wasteland, scooping up every supply crate ahead.
Meanwhile.
The players following the same route as Lin Hui could only wail at the sky, too miserable even to cry.
"Supply crates, my ass! If this fucking road survival game wants me dead, just say so!"
