Chapter 1: The Road Survival Game, You're Actually Human?
[Welcome, dear readers!]
[Handsome men and gorgeous women, check in!]
[Welcome to the global Road Survival Game. This is an escape game belonging to all of the Fivefold Race. The following are the rules of the game.]
[1. Every player randomly receives an initial vehicle. Collect materials to continuously upgrade and evolve your vehicle.]
[2. Please drive along the road, because the Gray Fog behind you will chase you until you reach the finish line. Of course, you can also choose to turn around and charge into the Gray Fog. After all, isn't death a way to reach the finish line?]
[3. There is a chance for supply crates to spawn on both sides of the road. Inside, there might be supplies to help you survive, or perhaps unknown dangers.]
[4. Under normal circumstances, there will only be one player on each road. A suddenly appearing fork in the road might lead to a service station, a monster's home, or other players coming to kill you.]
[5. When driving on the road, you may encounter monsters. Killing these monsters has a chance to drop supplies, and of course, it may also cost you your life.]
[...]
[17. The first seven days are the novice protection period. After the protection period ends, rankings will be determined based on your mileage. The first place has extremely generous rewards~]
[18. Do not stay at the starting point for too long, because monsters will soon actively seek you out. Do not think about defeating them; the only way to survive is to run, running with the accelerator pressed to the floor!]
[Your attribute panel has been opened, and your random vehicle has been issued. Please enjoy this escape game.]
In a pickup truck, Su Ye sat in the driver's seat with a dazed expression.
"The hell... I time-traveled again?"
Why did he say again?
Because just half an hour ago, he was still on Earth.
At that time, he was walking home from work and heard that someone was going to jump from a building, so he went over out of curiosity to watch the commotion.
As a result, when he got closer, a big guy wearing only underwear was standing in panic on the external air conditioning unit of the tenth floor.
At that time, Su Ye no longer knew what was happening, so he decisively took out his phone to record someone else's life.
As a result, because the crowd of onlookers was getting larger and larger, the underwear-clad guy stepped into the empty air out of panic and fell directly, happening to crash right onto him.
When Su Ye woke up again, he found that he had time-traveled into the body of an eighteen-year-old youth with the same name and surname.
After accepting the memories, Su Ye knew that he had time-traveled from Earth to Blue Star.
Being a reader with five thousand hours under his belt on Tomato Novel, Su Ye quickly accepted the fact that he had time-traveled.
Besides, he was already thirty years old when he was on Earth, so now he was considered twelve years younger straight away; no matter how he looked at it, he was making a profit.
Then Su Ye began to understand the entire Blue Star, and in his heart he had already figured out how to rely on his memories from Earth to get rich.
Yet it would have been fine if he didn't understand, but once he understood, Su Ye was dumbfounded.
Because he found that the entire Blue Star seemed to have fallen into a state of time stagnation, and there wasn't a single person.
Su Ye was planning to explore deeply, and then he heard that the so-called global Road Survival Game had begun.
The moment he opened his eyes again, he had arrived here.
"Global Road Survival? So the reason there was no one on Blue Star is because everyone came into this Road Survival Game?"
Thinking about this, Su Ye intended to carefully study the rules of the game, but five figures appeared ahead.
"The new session of Road Survival has started again. This time, we must put in some effort, kill more players, and earn more Survival Points."
"Yeah, once we save up enough Survival Points, we can re-enter Road Survival. Staying in the Gray Mist World every day is no different from being dead."
"Brother Zhou, the four of us will make a move later, and finally let you deliver the finishing blow."
"Heh, this player hasn't even started their car yet. Isn't this just handing us an opportunity?"
"..."
These five people were led by the middle-aged, handsome fellow in the middle wearing a suit and combed-back hair. The other party held a large saber, truly acting like a thug in a suit.
As for the other four, they were all wearing short sleeves and holding weapons like wrenches and steel pipes.
"Holy shit, didn't they say that under normal circumstances there is only one player on each road? How come five suddenly showed up?"
"This damn thing is just the start."
Su Ye didn't have time to examine the game rules closely; he hurriedly started the car, intending to charge out first.
"Trying to run now? Too late!"
That middle-aged handsome fellow let out a loud shout, swinging the saber in his hand in a full circle as he prepared to slash down.
But at that moment, through the windshield, he saw Su Ye's anxious and flustered expression inside the car. His expression paused involuntarily, and the saber in his hand turned sharply, barely grazing past the pickup truck.
Then Su Ye saw a sight that made his heart go cold.
He saw a blade radiance sweep out, directly carving a gully ten zhang long into the ground beside them.
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?"
"Yeah, with your strength, wouldn't a strike like this chop that player to pieces? How did you miss?"
"..."
The other four ran up as well, asking with curious expressions.
The handsome middle-aged man, however, wore a puzzled look and knocked on the car window. "Kid, get out yourself, or don't blame me for slashing you with a blade."
The other four looked at each other in dismay.
"Brother Zhou, why are you wasting words with this player? We're monsters; he can't understand what we're saying."
"Yeah, hurry up and finish him so we can catch the next round. Right now, these players just came in and don't have any life-saving means yet, making it just right for us to harvest."
Hearing what the four said, the handsome middle-aged man said nothing, but the machete in his hand raised once again.
He seemed to say nothing, but Su Ye knew what the other party meant-if he didn't get out of the car now, they were going to use violence to dismantle it.
Moreover, Su Ye also caught something amiss. What players? What monsters?
Didn't he understand the words these guys were saying?
Seeing that the handsome middle-aged man was about to strike again, and thinking of that blade light from earlier, Su Ye knew it was already too late to run.
He could only grit his teeth, roll down the car window, and force a smile. "Big brother, don't do it. We can talk things over."
Upon hearing Su Ye's words, not only the handsome middle-aged man, but the other four as well stood frozen in place as if hit by a hard crowd-control skill.
"Human? You're a human?"
One of them recovered his senses, pointing at Su Ye in disbelief.
Although being asked like that felt a bit strange, Su Ye still nodded. "Five big brothers, I'm a human, just like you-all humans."
"Holy shit, you really are human!"
"What kind of situation is this? How could a human end up inside a vehicle?"
"Could this kid have killed the player beforehand?"
"Impossible. Survival has just begun, and the monsters allocated to each lane are counted. Aside from us, there can't be any other monsters."
The four cried out in alarm, looking completely baffled by the fact that Su Ye was a human.
"Are you a player?"
At that moment, the handsome middle-aged man spoke up.
"Uh, yeah. Aren't the five big brothers players too?"
Su Ye swallowed hard. He wasn't a fool; judging from the random information leaked by these few people, the five in front of him didn't seem to be players.
They were monsters!
And it seemed humans couldn't become players.
"You're human? And a player too? What's your name? What planet were you on before coming to the Survival Road?" the handsome middle-aged man asked with a solemn expression.
The other four quieted down as well, staring intently at Su Ye, as if his answer was going to be some earth-shattering matter.
