Chapter 33 Obtaining the Warning Item
It has to be said that getting something for free is really great. Qiao Yu got double the supplies, and her system backpack was completely full.
Besides basic supplies and drinking water, the supplies included various kinds of rice and flour. Although it was only a small bag, it would definitely last for half a month.
Qiao Yu even saw a set of tableware here: a wok, a ceramic bowl, a spoon, and a pair of chopsticks.
Although it's not much, it's enough; at least we can start a fire and cook.
Qiao Yu thanked Bibi again for delivering the items, thankful that he had come up with a trick, otherwise she would never have been able to get the tableware.
Before, we only had a barbecue grill, and we couldn't even cook a meal. We could only heat or stew food. Now, at least we can eat stir-fried dishes.
Open the two gift packs given by the system, and two rows of options will pop up.
Congratulations to the survivor for winning the gift pack! Please choose two out of the following three rewards.
1: Seven days of random food (four-compartment boxed meals, three meat dishes and one vegetable dish).
2: Warning Item *1 (One-time use item, provides one-time warning of danger)
3: 1000 game coins
The second gift pack is similar, but it's a choice of three, with the second option being replaced by a yellow vehicle upgrade card*1.
As someone who isn't short of money right now, Qiao Yu naturally opted for meals, warning items, and upgrade cards.
A flash of white light, and two cards and twenty-one meal vouchers landed in her hand.
The meal voucher was stamped with the service area's red seal, so it was unsurprisingly a meal I had eaten before.
The upgrade card came so suddenly that Qiao Yu thought she would have to wait a while, but it arrived right away.
She touched the card to view the upgrade information.
Yellow Upgrade Card: An upgrade card that can upgrade vehicles.
Materials required for upgrading a Tier 3 vehicle: 1 colored light, 1 sunshade, 10 steel pipes, 1 engine oil from the dwarf repairman, and 1 extended memory iron.
The first three materials are quite common, but what are the last two?
The dwarf's engine oil?
Why do we need dwarf-themed engine oil?
Are other types of engine oil not suitable?
And what is extended memory iron?
Qiao Yu had only heard of memory foam, not memory iron.
Confused, she put the card down for the time being.
The warning props that followed also surprised Qiao Yu. They could foresee danger in advance. What kind of danger?
Natural disaster or man-made disaster?
Qiao Yu guessed for a long time but couldn't figure out which one it was, so she put the card in the car and waited to see if there would be a warning on the seventh day.
After tidying up, it was almost seven or eight o'clock. Qiao Yu was exhausted after a long day and really didn't want to move at all.
After eating some snacks that Yu Mao had given me, I fell asleep on the makeshift bed in the passenger seat.
Not long after she fell into a deep sleep, the blue smoke from the highway returned.
This time, the monsters weren't the giants from yesterday; instead, they were a group of hopping, green toads.
The toad hopped to both sides of the road, and when it couldn't find any food, it ran straight to Qiao Yu's vehicle to eat.
However, before it could even get close, the toad was electrocuted by a battery, causing its body to stiffen and it collapsed to the ground like a charred corpse.
When one of their companions fell, the other toads that had been following it croaked and jumped away.
They were all like they were being chased by ghosts, not daring to approach Qiao Yu's vehicle. They didn't even bother to search the other treasure chests on the road, and simply ran away cleanly and efficiently without stopping for a moment.
......
The next day, Qiao Yu slept soundly after a night's rest.
She stretched and got up, pressed the window shut, and squinted at the sky.
Seeing that it wasn't very bright, I thought I had woken up too early, but when I opened the panel, I found that it was actually 7 a.m.
Qiao Yu rubbed her eyes. Yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, it was already bright outside, and the sun had come out.
Why was it only slightly light at 7 a.m. this morning?
Where is the sun?
Where did the sun go?
She immediately turned on the channel and saw that several people were discussing this issue.
Everyone's saying the sun is up late, and some are even speculating that the system forgot to set the sunrise time.
Qiao Yu felt uneasy again. It got dark too early yesterday, and now it gets light too late. Could this really be a warning?
A few minutes later, the sky brightened.
A touch of orange illuminates the earth, and the long-awaited sun emerges from the thick clouds.
Qiao Yu looked up and realized that it wasn't that the sun hadn't appeared, but rather that it was blocked by a thick layer of clouds, resulting in only a faint light shining down.
The dark clouds, though they had let go of the sun, did not leave. They remained close to the sun, seemingly ready to launch another attack.
The sun being blocked is not a good thing.
A sense of urgency welled up in Qiao Yu's heart. It seemed she needed to stock up on more supplies; things would definitely be dire after the newbie protection period ended.
She climbed to the back of the driver's seat, opened the control panel, threw all the materials for the water collector into it, and operated the machine to create 10 water collectors.
This time, Qiao Yu wanted to exchange fuel, or rather, find something to start a fire.
She didn't have any tools to keep burning, only a barbecue grill, so she couldn't very well start a fire in the car.
Today is the 5th day of my road survival journey, and the system didn't come online until half an hour after dawn.
Good morning everyone! It's now day 5 of our road survival adventure. I'm sure you're all tired after yesterday's arduous journey. There are no tasks in the system today besides mileage tracking, so you can all have a good rest and relax.
In addition, there are many treasure chests along the highway, so survivors should keep their eyes peeled and carefully consider which chests they find so they don't miss out.
Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow.
Contrary to usual practice, the system never used to remind them to pay attention to the treasure chest rewards, but now it is focusing on the treasure chest. Could it be that it contains something she needs?
Thinking of this, she immediately perked up. If it was something she desperately needed, then she definitely couldn't miss any of the treasure chests.
Qiao Yu quickly finished washing up, picked up a strand of shiny, oily hair, and twisted it open; the oil on it was almost enough to fry vegetables.
No, I have to boil some hot water today, I've been without a shower for 5 days and I smell terrible.
Qiao Yu rummaged through the bowls and chopsticks, then took out a packet of instant noodles and hot water.
This morning I ate braised beef flavored instant noodles, with lots of shrimp meat and ham sausage, and the spinach I ordered was also added in at the end.
The shrimp meat has a slightly sweet taste, which unexpectedly brings out a fresh flavor when mixed with instant noodles, while the ham as a side dish is another delicacy.
Qiao Yu quickly finished a bowl of instant noodles, still wanting more, and drank every last drop of the soup.
She washed the dishes while clutching her stomach, wondering why she hadn't realized how delicious the shrimp monster was before.
Is it because people are so hungry that everything tastes delicious?
After eating and exercising for a while, Qiao Yu felt light and agile, as if she could jump three meters away.

It seems the spinach's effect is speed; Qiao Yu flipped open her memo and wrote it down.
She drove ten kilometers and successfully found ten boxes, when her private message alerted her.
[Unextinguished Firefly: Boss, these are the batteries I've collected over the past few days. I've sent them to you, please check your mail.]
[The elderly rider has accepted the order: 20 batteries? Where did you find so many?]
[Unextinguished Firefly: Hey, I was lucky enough to trade a mineral water bottle with someone else.]
[The rider has accepted the order: Oh, thank you.]
[Unextinguished Firefly: Boss, I'm shamelessly asking if you have any items to find a gas station? I'm really out of gas, my car is completely dead and I'm stuck in the middle of the road, I can't move at all.]
[The elderly rider has accepted the order: Haven't found a gas station yet?]
[Unextinguished Firefly: (crying) I don't know what kind of luck I have. I've only been to a service area once in the past few days, and all I got was a cup of hot water.]
[Unextinguished Firefly: I haven't seen a single person these past two days, let alone a gas station. The half-can of fuel the system gave me yesterday just ran out, and after asking around, I still can't find it, so I had no choice but to ask you.]
[The elderly rider has accepted the order: What a coincidence! I happen to have a ticket to the gas station. I can give it to you if you want.]
[Unextinguished Firefly: ??? Really, bro? Is it one of those bus tickets? Great, great, I knew I'd come to the right person.]
[Unextinguished Firefly: Sell it to me! I'll give you screenshots of my supplies to choose from. Take what you like, or I'll owe you money if you don't. I'll definitely pay you back when I get something better.]
[The delivery rider has accepted the order: Sure, but you need to go to refuel your vehicle. How are you going to drive in if your vehicle is out of gas?]
【The Unextinguished Firefly: !!!】
[The Unextinguished Firefly: How could I forget this? This is fate!]
[The elderly rider has accepted the order: I have a can of fuel that I can give you in an emergency. Take the fuel and use your delivery ticket. If you see a bus coming, follow it to the gas station.]
[Unextinguished Firefly: Thank you so much, boss. I'll do anything for you. You're like a second parent to me.]
Qiao Yu sent the oil and train ticket together and glanced at the screenshot that was sent.
There weren't many supplies left from the fireflies that hadn't gone out, so she ignored the food and scanned the basic supplies directly.
"It seems we don't have rain boots or gloves. We can bring them if it's going to rain later."
"What is this? A random blueprint?"
Qiao Yu immediately became interested when she saw the random blueprint and opened the chat box to reply to the message.
She was engrossed in her conversation and didn't notice for a moment that the scene behind her to the right had suddenly changed.
