Highway 4
Chu Yun hurried over.
"Please be kind. These are the supplies I found with great difficulty. Please don't rob me. My old woman still needs these to eat! And you have already taken them once. Please leave this to me." The old man carefully tried to please the three men in front of him who were robbing him.
The short man folded his arms, showing no guilt or pity. "What nonsense are you talking about, old man! We're giving you supplies to motivate you to work harder. Don't be ungrateful. Hand them over voluntarily. Otherwise, with your old body, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
"Hahaha." The two followers laughed when they heard this.
"If you really want to snatch it away from me, I, an old man, will fight with you." The old man tightly guarded the box of bread in his arms.
The short man nodded to signal his two followers, who then stepped forward from the left and right to surround the old man and were about to attack.
Suddenly, a young woman's shout was heard.
"stop!"
Chu Yun held a mace in one hand and walked towards the old man calmly. The old man took advantage of the two followers' distraction and ran to Chu Yun's side.
"Girl, don't be so stubborn. They are three grown men. You, a girl, can't beat them. Just leave." The old man said anxiously.
Chu Yun shook his head comfortingly at him.
She stared at the short man, her face changed slightly, "You little thief who stole my gasoline, I will never let you go now that I've met you today."
The short man also recognized Chu Yun's identity through the mace. He was a little scared for a while because he was suppressed by Chu Yun's momentum, but looking at the two followers beside him, he became confident again. They had three men, so why were they afraid that they couldn't beat a girl?
I couldn't see clearly from a distance before, but now I can observe Chu Yun up close. She's young and beautiful...
So, he had thoughts that he shouldn't have, and it was this dirty thought that caused him to be beaten badly.
"Girl, a wise man knows the times. Hand over your weapons to me and serve us well. I'll make sure you have plenty of food and drink for the next few days."
"Women! Why are you fighting and killing? You should stay at home and serve your men."
The two followers also burst into laughter.
"Boss, this woman is so beautiful!" A follower with a shaved head stared at Chu Yun and said obscenely.
The short man called the boss said: "Don't worry, as long as you take her down, you will definitely get some benefits."
"Hehe." The followers laughed even louder.
Chu Yun despised the disgusting and stupid man in his heart, but he still remained calm.
"Girl, they are here with bad intentions. I am stopping them, so run away. I am an old man, they won't do anything to me."
When the old man heard the obscene thoughts of these men, his face immediately became panicked. It was all his fault. If he hadn't asked Chu Yun to come here, he wouldn't have met these plague gods.
Chu Yun raised the mace in his right hand and stopped the old man behind him: "Stand back and leave it to me!"
The old man stepped forward and pulled Chu Yun: "Girl, don't be so stubborn!"
Chu Yun brushed away the old man's hand and stepped forward with the mace.
The short man took a step back and said, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine. You two, go... go..."
Before he could finish, Chu Yun swiftly flashed over, striking the two henchmen on the legs, one on the left and one on the right. With a clang, they fell to the ground, wailing. Another elbow, followed by two cracks of dislocated bones, ripped their arms free. Now, like chickens on a grill, their legs and arms were splayed at their sides in bizarre formations.
The whole process takes no more than 5 seconds.
The short man was stunned. He turned around and prepared to run out, but Chu Yun recognized his intention and stepped past him to block his way.
"Lady, please spare me. I'll give you something good in exchange."
As he spoke, he fumbled in his backpack. With a flash of silver light, a sharp dagger stabbed towards Chu Yun.
In a flash, Chu Yun dodged the short man's dagger with a nimble move, and then kicked the man hard on the butt before the short man turned around.
With a thud, the short man was kicked to the ground like a frog, with a mouthful of mud in his mouth.
Chu Yun then stepped forward, stepped on the man's wrist and crushed and rubbed it on the ground. The dagger slipped out of the man's hand and was kicked aside by Chu Yun.
This wasn't enough. She retaliated by kicking the man's soft abdomen. The kick wasn't fatal, but it hurt. The man wanted to quit the game immediately, but Chu Yun didn't give him the chance. She had already injured the man's arm, making him unable to move.
For a moment, the only sounds in the room were the man's screams.
After fighting enough, Chu Yun took a breath and put away the mace in his hand.
The old man has not yet recovered from his shock. What a fierce young girl! But he also envied her for having such good kung fu skills.
Chu Yun woke up the dazed old man and together they collected a lot of supplies from the three people, which allowed them to operate the interface and leave the game.
After the three people unwillingly turned into three white smoke and disappeared, Chu Yun ran out of the door, stroked the smooth body of the sports car, and looked at its fluent shape. She nodded with satisfaction. What a handsome car, it was finally hers.
After she collected a lot of things from the trunk of her sports car, she returned to the house and piled the supplies together, ready to share them with the old man.
"I, I didn't do anything. I just need to take the share they originally robbed me." The old man was coy and felt very embarrassed. He relied on Chu Yun to save his life, so how could he take the spoils she got?
Chu Yun ignored him and not only returned the portion that was stolen from him during the previous robbery, but also compensated him with two food cards for boxed lunches. She saw that while she was dealing with the short man, the old man kept an eye on the two henchmen who had fallen to the ground to prevent them from attacking him, and he also helped a lot with the body search.
Chu Yun was always stubborn, so the old man accepted it since he couldn't refuse. He happily took the supplies and placed them on the grass nest.
Chu Yun counted the remaining supplies. It seemed that the short man had gained a lot of good things in the "Life and Death Speed Level" with the help of the sports car. Except for the gold coins and personal bindings, she couldn't get them. The other spoils were now here.
She took inventory. Besides the two food cards for the old man, she had added ten more food cards for boxed meals. She also had a sharp knife, all of which she had taken from the short man. No wonder he could afford to employ two lackeys. She put the knife away. The blade was incredibly sharp, and she didn't want to see blood unless necessary.
For dinner, Chu Yun opened a food card for a box lunch, which included two meat dishes and one vegetable: spicy diced chicken, braised fish, and lettuce with oyster sauce. She finished the meal with a banana as fruit. Now that she had enough food, she no longer had to think about splitting a meal into two.
The temperature at night has been getting colder these past few days, and I have been woken up by the cold several times while sleeping.
***
Day 9 of the game.
The heavy rain that had lasted for three days finally stopped, but the temperature dropped sharply, almost approaching 5 degrees Celsius.
There was a howling wind outside, blowing in through the doors and windows. The wind was mixed with a hint of the biting winter cold, which hit people's faces and bodies, causing them special pain.
Is this, winter is coming?
But now, Chu Yun was only wearing a thin tracksuit. Of course, everyone else was probably wearing similar clothing. The temperature was still over 20 degrees Celsius when she entered the game. After all, no one had expected the game to have such an obstacle. She stamped her feet, rubbed her hands together, and exhaled. Her body only warmed briefly before returning to coldness.
She has always been strong, but even a strong body will unconsciously be inferior to the natural environment.
According to the game's rules, the first day was scorching hot, followed by continuous heavy rain after four days. Chu Yun guessed that the weather changed every few days, and the next few days would be a period of persistent cold. She also discovered that the system would set a corresponding checkpoint with each weather change. Now that she had been here for two days, it was time to go out and look for an opportunity.
She looked around the dilapidated gas station. The doors and windows of each room were broken. If the temperature continued to drop, there would be no way to withstand the biting cold.
Chu Yun told the old man her idea and asked him if he would like to leave with her.
"Girl, go on your own. I, an old man, may leave the game today or tomorrow."
"My wife is in poor health. Her joints hurt when the weather gets cold. I guess she will go back today. Thanks to you, I have been here for the 9th day. I will go back soon to take care of my wife!" said the old man.
Chu Yun did not continue to persuade him. Everyone has their own ideas, and she expressed her understanding and respect.
Afterward, she said goodbye to the old man and drove onto the road in the sports car the short man had left behind. The three-wheeled scooter still had a little gas left, so she didn't take it out, leaving it for the old man to use for half a day. She had enough gas now, so she could use it until the last day without any problems.
It has to be said that the performance of the sports car is better than that of the shabby tricycle. The seats are comfortable and the driving is smooth. The car has air conditioning, and she turns it on for a while every once in a while to ensure that the temperature inside the car remains around 26 degrees Celsius for a long time.
The temperature inside the car was just right, and with the music playing on the car CD, Chu Yun felt that she was not trying to survive, but traveling.
But unfortunately, she did not encounter the so-called opportunity again today.
At night, she laid the seat flat, lay down on it and fell asleep, having a good night's sleep.
***
On the 10th day of the game, the temperature continued to drop and is now close to 0 degrees.
If she hadn't found the supply pack, she wouldn't even want to get off the bus. Damage inflicted in the game would be transferred to real life. If she caught a cold or frostbite, she'd be in big trouble. Just one healing bandage cost five gold coins, and a single cold medicine pill was five gold coins too. She didn't have the gold back then, so she didn't buy any! Now, she only earned five gold coins a day, so if she got sick, it would be completely worth it.
At 8 p.m., after a long day of driving, Chu Yun noticed lights about a kilometer away. This was the first time he had seen lights in all the days he had been in the game. Lights meant people were gathering, so Chu Yun headed in that direction with a clear goal in mind.
A few minutes later, Chu Yun made a beautiful drift, bringing out a cloud of flying sand and stopping precisely at the door of the lighted building.
There were already people gathered here. When they saw a luxury sports car coming in such a high-profile manner, their eyes, either greedy or envious, instantly focused on Chu Yun.
She did not get out of the car immediately, but looked out through the one-way window. The first thing that caught her eye was a tall red gate with a plaque on the top that read: Highway Service Area.
At this time, there were about 15 cars parked sparsely outside the door. Some people got out of the cars and walked around, while some people sat in their cars. Everyone was at a certain distance and looked at each other.
Chu Yun saw that these vehicles were of all kinds, including electric scooters, bicycles, ordinary cars, commercial vehicles, off-road vehicles, as well as tricycles and sports cars like hers.
Even saw a bus and a fire truck.
…
Really, I admire you, I admire you so much!
Chu Yun said that the person who set up this game is really a clever guy!
Perhaps because he saw Chu Yun sitting in the car and not coming out, he thought there was a vulnerable person inside, and he didn't dare to get out after seeing such a big scene.
Little did they know that after observing the scene, Chu Yun had dinner in the car. After all, in her heart, nothing was more important than eating.
Only after his stomach was no longer empty did Chu Yun get out of the car.
Phew, it’s so cold outside. If I hadn’t been sitting in the car all day and wanted to stretch my muscles, I really wouldn’t want to get out.
In a broken car.
"Brother Yue, that sports car is so cool. It would be wonderful if we could sit in it."
"Besides, you see there's only a little girl over there. She must have saved a lot of supplies to survive until now. As long as we grab it, we'll have the car and supplies. Why should we be afraid of not surviving until the last day?"
When curly-haired beauty Zhang Xiaomei saw a young, beautiful woman getting out of the sports car, she immediately felt a surge of anger. Why did she have to rely on this fat guy to survive, while some people were so lucky? She didn't believe Chu Yun had the strength to survive in such a harsh environment. So she egged the fat guy on.
Yue Shan had no intention of provoking anyone, but he couldn't resist the woman's temptation. To save face, he opened the door and walked towards Chu Yun. She was just a little girl, and she was scared after a few threats.
When the people around saw Yue Shan taking the lead, they immediately became restless. The others were in groups, but she was alone, so of course it was easiest to deal with her.
"You, give me the supplies you have."
When Yue Shan got closer, he found that Chu Yun was very beautiful. Beautiful people always arouse pity. He immediately forgot the woman's instructions to him and softened his voice unconsciously.
Another robber, Chu Yun sneered. "Sister, I don't look that weak, do I?" He was 168cm tall, with well-developed abdominal muscles and biceps. Not only did he lack vision, but he also lacked brains.
If someone judged her as weak simply because she was a woman, she would think that person was really stupid, judging people by appearance in this day and age. However, she would let this group of people know that women can be stronger than men.
"Is there something?" Chu Yun replied indifferently.
Seeing Chu Yun's cold eyes, he was a little at a loss for a moment. His intuition told him that this woman was definitely not a good person.
He wanted to retreat a little, but the woman behind him was still staring at him in the car, and the people around him were also watching. He couldn't lose face and let them laugh at him, so he took a breath and stepped forward.
"Didn't you hear me? Give me your supplies."
Chu Yun didn't waste any words with him. He stretched his hands a little, then suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the fat man's arm and twisted it backward, then kicked him hard in the leg. The fat man howled loudly and knelt on one knee, without any strength to fight back.
The whole process took only 2 seconds. Before anyone could react, the fat man had already fallen. Then, there was a sigh of regret. Everyone looked at Chu Yun with caution, and put away their own thoughts. No one dared to make a move on her anymore.
Chu Yun is very satisfied with the current results. She always chooses the fastest solution. Using the fat man as a demonstration can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
