Chapter 11 Service Area 1
Survival rate: 66.7%
Yu Cisheng had just fallen asleep on the sofa when he was suddenly startled awake by a game message: "The survival rate for this dungeon is quite high."
"For players who have survived to this point, zombies are far less threatening than natural disasters." Jing Xiu deactivated his defensive stance and stretched his body in front of the living room.
The fortress disappeared, and through the window, I discovered that the once boundless ocean had vanished, replaced by a familiar highway.
[The fourth disaster cycle: the torrential rain and oceanization have ended. Congratulations to all players for successfully surviving! Service areas are now open at 6:00 AM today; you can reach them by car after traveling 100 kilometers.]
During the vehicle's autonomous driving process, Yu Cisheng and Jing Xiu washed up and ate breakfast.
Use the skill: Fortune and Misfortune are Intertwined.

The familiar giant spinning wheel has reappeared, still divided into three parts: blue, yellow, and red, but the proportions of the colors have changed somewhat.
The blue area, symbolizing special items, has changed from 30% to 20%.
The yellow area, symbolizing random drawings, has changed from 50% to 60%.
The red area, symbolizing highway currency, still accounts for 20%, but the quantity has changed again.
In 10% of the places, the number of medals increased from 15 to 25; in 5% of the places, the number of medals increased from 20 to 30; in 4% of the places, the number of medals increased from 30 to 50; and in 1% of the places, the number of medals increased from 40 to 60.
Without hesitation, Yu Cisheng pressed the white button in the lower right corner of the dial five times in a row. The pointer immediately began to spin.

"A flashlight? Does the next cycle require a light source? But we have car lights, and besides, we don't usually drive at night." New items obtained from daily check-ins usually foreshadow impending disasters, but Yu Cisheng was still somewhat uncertain about the flashlight's purpose.
Just as I was pondering this, we arrived at the service area. At that time, there were already more than a dozen vehicles in the parking lot, many of which were level 4 or 5.
It seemed there was no chance of winning the prize. Yu Cisheng drove the car directly into the repair shop.
"Hello, your vehicle inspection results are in. You have just experienced a combination of torrential rain and marine disasters."
The engine shows some signs of water damage, but the impact is minimal.
The repair cost is 10 road dollars, and the vehicle wash cost is 2 road dollars. Do you need any service?
"I want them all." Yu Cisheng transferred the money directly from his account. If everything goes smoothly, he can leave the game in the next disaster cycle. But if he can't leave because of a mere 12 highway coins not being able to repair the engine, he might collapse.
When I came out, I found that there were more people in the parking lot.
Although Little Blue was only a little over a meter tall, it was still a dinosaur, and its appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. Fortunately, everyone watched from a distance and did not approach.
"As expected? People who have survived to this day are no longer brainless." Yu Cisheng silently complained to himself.
"Ci Sheng!" As soon as I entered the hall, I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw that it was indeed Dai Wenwen.
"Wenwen!" The other person came out of the store with a big smile on her face, looking like she had bought something good.
"Long time no see, how have you been?" He even leaned close and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I still have the IOU, feel free to contact me anytime you need it."
"Thank you, I'm doing well lately," Yu Cisheng replied with a smile.
"I can tell." Dai Wenwen looked at Jing Xiu with a suggestive gaze. "Is this the person you're looking for?"
"Mmm." Yu Cisheng was a little embarrassed.
Dai Wenwen tried hard to suppress her smile, "Then I won't bother you anymore, I'm going to take a nap." She waved goodbye with a flourish.
"Bye-Bye."
Yu Cisheng and Jing Xiu walked to the front desk.
The staff greeted Yu Cisheng with a smile, "Hello, I am a front desk guide at the 36999 service area in the district. Now, please allow me to distribute the rewards for your contributions to the rainstorm and marine disaster relief efforts."
Yu Cisheng handed over the car keys.
[Congratulations to player ? for being the first in server 36999 to upgrade their car to level 6! Reward: 60 Highway Coins]
[Congratulations to player ?! You are the first player in region 36999 to accumulate over 10,000 Highway Coins in spending! Reward: 10 Highway Coins]
[Congratulations to the player who cleared the Rainstorm + Oceanization Disaster level! Reward: 10 Highway Coins]
A total of 80 highway tokens have been issued; please check your account.
Yu Cisheng directly spent 10 euros to book a presidential suite.
The receptionist handed over a familiar white wristband.
"Your account balance exceeds 1000, qualifying you for the auction at 7 PM. If you are interested, you can enter directly by wearing the bracelet."
"Thanks."
Jing Xiu's vehicle has been dismantled. At this point, she is sharing an account with Yu Cisheng, so naturally, she doesn't receive any of these benefits.
Upon entering the store, Yu Cisheng skillfully asked a staff member for a shopping guide and found a quiet corner to sit down.
[Game withdrawal ticket, 3/3]
"There are only three game exit tickets available. Just in case, I suggest you buy one now and take the rest next time you come to the service area," Yu Cisheng suggested, flipping directly to the last page of the shopping list.
“Sure, I remember you have a Goblin Merchant Summoning Ticket. If you save up enough Highway Coins beforehand, you could try your luck and buy it from there.” Jing Xiu agreed with her idea and added some of her own suggestions.
Then they searched for items that could help Xiao Lan leave with them.
[Pet Exit Game Ticket: 5000 Highway Coins, 0/0]
"Looks like we're going to have to work hard again," Yu Cisheng said, pointing to Jing Xiu.
“Price is secondary; the key issue is that there’s no stock at the service area,” Jing Xiu frowned.
"I also have a Goblin Merchant Summoning Card, I'll take a look later." After selecting the other items, Yu Cisheng closed the book and went to the front desk.
"Hello, just to confirm again. You purchased one exit ticket, four player upgrade cards, one unlimited ammo magazine, and one disaster alert card. The total is 10550 Highway Coins. Is this correct?"
"Yes."
"The highway toll has been deducted, and the item has been automatically sent to your system inventory." The staff member scanned the code with Yu Cisheng's car key and handed it back.
The two returned to the suite.
Unlimited bullet magazines naturally return to their source, and players receive two upgrade cards each.
Yu Cisheng's stats are as follows:
Health Points: 420
Stamina: 56 (normal females have 10, normal males have 15)
Intelligence: 67 (15 for average women, 10 for average men)
Jingxiu's stats are as follows:
Health Points: 400
Stamina: 57 (normal females have 10, normal males have 15)
Intelligence: 48 (15 for average women, 10 for average men)
At this point, their physical strength had surpassed that of ordinary people. Although they couldn't compare to superheroes, they could still easily take down a large beast with a single punch.
In the zombie apocalypse scenario, neither of them had slept for almost a day and a night. After ordering a simple meal from room service, they collapsed onto the bed to catch up on sleep.
Yu Cisheng didn't wake up until 3 PM, and walked into the living room while massaging her temples. "Sure enough, if I don't go to bed on time, I'll still have a headache even if I don't come back later."
Jing Xiu was sitting on the sofa maintaining his gun. Seeing Yu Cisheng's condition, he knew her old ailment had flared up again, so he quickly poured a glass of warm water and placed it in front of her. "Does it still hurt?"
"Hmm, but it's not serious, just a little bit. It should be related to the increase in stamina." Yu Cisheng took a sip of water and found that the temperature was just right.
"Shall we eat at the buffet or have it delivered?" Jing Xiu put away his gun and tidied her messy hair.
"Let's deliver food. I don't want to go to crowded places." Yu Cisheng hugged Jing Xiu and nestled in his arms.
"good."
We chose Northeastern Chinese cuisine, not wanting to waste food, so we only ordered four dishes and a soup: sweet and sour pork, stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, green peppers, and tomato beef brisket soup, three dishes from the earth, iron pot stew, pork ribs stew with green beans, and tomato beef brisket soup. The quantity was small, but the portions were enormous.
After finishing their meal, the two discussed their plans for the future.
“We can get back the Highway Coins from Dai Wenwen at any time, although we need to pay her an extra 100 Highway Coins for breaking the contract. We only need 3390 Highway Coins to buy a second exit ticket and leave.” Yu Cisheng calculated the Highway Coins the two of them currently had.
Take out the disaster warning card.
[Successfully used]
[Next disaster: Insect plague + polar night + ? ? ? ?]
"...A disaster warning card for 50 road coins? That's all?!" Yu Cisheng was speechless.
Jingxiu glanced at it and said, "If you want to quickly obtain highway currency, you still need to trade items. The focus of tonight's auction is to obtain blueprints related to the insect plague and polar night."
"Let's leave quickly, it's so tiring to be on edge all the time in the game," Yu Cisheng couldn't help but complain.
"If you're lucky, you can leave before the dungeon opens," Jing Xiu said, patting her head to comfort her.
Yu Cisheng took out the oar blueprints and raft blueprints to trade at the auction, and also took out two advanced vehicle upgrade blueprints.
She's decided to leave as soon as possible. A level 6 vehicle is sufficient for now, and these two blueprints can be traded. She just needs to decide whether to use the trading market or the auction house.
19:00
Yu Cisheng put on the bracelet and sat on the sofa with Jing Xiu.
"Buzz!" The bracelet emitted a low-frequency vibration, followed by a flash of white light.
