Chapter 130: Encounter With Six-wheeled Off-road Team
3 AM.
The biting cold wind swept across the pitch-black road, fine snow particles hitting the vehicle, making a rustling sound, and the tent rustling nonstop.
Weather like this naturally stirred up some unease.
If they encountered monsters, they could find a way to fight through, but with an extreme cold blizzard, there was no way at all.
Yu Jiang sat up, putting on clothes while heading to the driver’s seat, where the view was better.
At the same time, in the quiet team channel, she sent a voice message to Purple Butt Can Do It,
“I’m taking over the shift, no need to come call me, you go rest.”
Purple Butt Can Do It: “Got it!”
Guarding alone by the desolate, cold road at night, with such scary weather, it was pretty tough.
Yeah right.
Yu Jiang scanned the area twice; besides lights in a few nearby camps where players were huddled together, it was pitch black outside.
Confirming no abnormalities around, she turned on the driver’s seat lights, waited for her eyes to adjust to the brightness, then opened the folding board placed on the front passenger seat.
Then she took out the quantity-increased no-price-increase version of snail noodles bought from the Raccoon Supermarket, and boiled it using the induction cooker in the RV kitchen.
Yu Jiang also added some mutton rolls, vegetables, and an egg, then took out a bottle of juice.
In the apocalypse, on a blizzard night, being able to eat such a luxurious late-night snack was blissfully satisfying—how could it be tough!
She still had hot pot base; next time on night watch, she could eat hot pot, adding an instant noodle cake.
The rest of the team was sleeping; Yu Jiang was alone on the RV, guarding while slurping noodles to stay alert—watching a show would make it perfect.
4 hours passed quickly.
7 AM, sky still dark, wind and snow lighter, everyone waking up one after another.
Another half hour passed, sky a bit brighter; Yu Jiang grabbed tools and went out to clear snow from the vehicle, teammates also making pre-departure preparations.
Seeing everyone busy together, chatting, it felt like team mode and traveling with companions was really pretty good.
8 AM, simply ate some bread quick food for breakfast, team set off.
Shi Xu’s vehicle led the way, Yu Jiang in second, activating autopilot; she went back to the sofa to catch up on sleep.
Along the way, due to bad weather, progress was tough, but no major issues; by evening, smoothly back on personal road.
Instance time approaching, Sad Pig Intestine said today they’d cook a team meal.
Cabbage pork stir-fry over noodles, chewy handmade noodles, plus seaweed pork slip soup.
All from team ingredients; to add extras, had to process your own ingredients.
Yu Jiang decisively sent some fresh pork over; she wanted extra portions.
Sad Pig Intestine also brought good news:
“Sister Jiang, the incubator you gave me before, the two button quails have hatched and grown! Light screen scan says, though the eggs are small, we can harvest a lot!”
Raising regular chickens, they didn’t have the conditions; harvesting some button quail eggs was good too.
If the incubator could level up, maybe raise rabbits—fast breeding, roast rabbit tasty, at least a relatively stable food source.
No one could guarantee supplies always ahead.
Not long after, Sad Pig Intestine sent everyone’s team meal over.
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: “Our group still on parallel road, received Intestine’s team meal, the boss in our team is drooling, saying our team lives immortal days in the apocalypse, asking if can buy with crystal coins.”
Sad Pig Intestine: “No problem, I always make a few extra portions each time, crystal coins earned from selling, I have a weekly random ingredients purchase opportunity, minus my labor cost, the rest goes into our team’s little warehouse.”
Kuang Kuang Kuang: “Thanks for being here, Intestine.”
Sad Pig Intestine: “No no, if not for Sister Jiang cheaply giving me meds and materials, I might not have survived half a month.”
Players like him without combat ability struggled alone; everyone treated him well, willing to bring him on instances; Sad Pig Intestine also wanted to contribute more in his specialty area.
After dinner time, Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy sent back the previously borrowed crystal coins to Yu Jiang.
Overnight on parallel road was mentally draining; Yu Jiang planned to rest early, recharge spirit.
She took a hot bath; RV water storage still ample—cold weather, couldn’t bathe daily, usually just wipe down, shower every two-three days no problem at all.
At Raccoon Supermarket, Yu Jiang specially stocked several large discounted bottles of toiletries, enough for a year no issue.
This cheap, since not survival essential supplies.
Vehicle interior temperature maintained around 16 degrees, bathing wouldn’t chill.
A good night’s sleep.
Next day, survival time: 37 days.
Packed up, continued team travel forward, 100km goal, before instance mission release, not planning to run even one extra kilometer.
Recently high demand for Qi Replenishing Drinks, those with stock could make a fortune, but players no longer had that many medicinal herbs.
Yu Jiang too, earned plenty, but high consumption, left with half the medicinal herbs for crafting Qi Replenishing Drinks—unless trading for urgently needed supplies, no longer planning to sell.
Yu Jiang didn’t want to gamble on restocking later; no supplies on hand made her anxious.
Plenty messaged willing to pay more; her public excuse was short on medicinal herbs.
Her own team cutting back on Qi Replenishing Drink consumption—avoid if possible, save for instances.
Traveled unhurriedly, 100km took several hours, then directly parked and chilled.
Right then, Yu Jiang in driver’s seat, wiping glass fog, spotted a team slowly passing outside.
Thought to herself, impressive.
Team setup highest she’d seen on road these days: middle level 3 vehicle with green plus on it, like an ambulance.
Sweeper truck up front, six-wheeled Humvee in second.
Couldn’t see players on vehicles clearly, but the majestic sight of the vehicles advancing was imposing.
The two teams seemed unrelated, but actually both eyeing each other.
“Yo, that RV looks really nice, probably no second in our game area.” The sweeper truck player spoke in team channel.
Seemed saw it a few days ago, but too dark then, didn’t see what it looked like, didn’t expect to meet again.
Player in Humvee raised an eyebrow, “Either one of the wealth ranking merchants, or rank 1; besides them, who could get an RV.”
“Sister Xi, shall we…” Sweeper truck player glanced at the other side again; those people were fat sheep, each worth more than a team of regular players.
“Keep driving forward.” Life is Like a Play withdrew her gaze, “At this moment, not guaranteed to take them down; save energy for instance, heard lately many merchants paying to travel with teams.”
At this, her tone rose, face with a meaningful smile.
Not idiots, charging at another leaderboard team without plan—even if win, it’d be mutual heavy losses, not worth it.
First target weaker ones with merchant bosses, easy to hit with good loot.
Rob a few waves, team develops, plus brush out achievements.
