Barely had the bus touched down in the Extreme Heat World when a beam of white light illuminated a patch of desolate land outside the city, revealing a uniquely designed SUV.
Its body was clad in camouflage metal plating, and a massive air duct, like a cannon barrel, was embedded in the rear.
Whoosh – As the SUV headed toward the city, the surrounding air currents all converged at the tail duct, then spewed out gusts of strong wind, propelling the vehicle and boosting its speed.
This SUV clearly relied on this wind control ability, moving like a fish in water in the Wind Disaster World, entering the Extreme Heat World a step ahead of all other teams.
Soon the SUV drove into the city, where it spotted many people searching for resources.
"So many people! Are they all from the bus? Hey... look! Someone's fighting over there!"
"Where? Where? Let me see!"
The voices of two curious women echoed from inside the SUV.
Then a young man's complaint followed: "Stella, Selena, what's so great about fighting? You two are just bored out of your minds."
"Hugo, who's bored? Stella, let's beat him up!"
The SUV erupted in a flurry of playful fighting, quickly followed by the young man's cries for help.
"Mom and Dad, make Stella and Selena stop bullying me!"
The space inside the SUV was different from what it looked like from the outside, likely expanded after a 1-Star upgrade. Besides the five seats, there were over a hundred square feet of activity space.
Two identical twin women were punching a young man.
The siblings' fighting disturbed the chickens in the car, causing them to flap around, sending feathers flying everywhere.
After being beaten, the young man seemed afraid to fight back, only verbally resisting his sisters' scolding while begging his parents in the driver and passenger seats for help.
The middle-aged man in the driver's seat frowned and scolded, "Stella, Selena, stop it."
Hearing their father Arthur's reprimand, the twin sisters Stella and Selena glared menacingly at Hugo with their fists raised, then stopped fighting and obediently returned to their seats.
Hugo grumbled, brushing the chicken feathers off himself. He didn't know if it was Stella or Selena who had grabbed a chicken and smacked him with it while hitting him.
He had been pecked a few times by the chicken and covered in feathers, making him a miserable sight.
Hugo looked at his sisters' backs, and the idea of marrying them off popped into his head.
After all, if his sisters were married off, there would be room in the car, and he could bring two wives along.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
At this time, the other four in the car had no idea what Hugo was thinking, or he would be beaten again.
"Honey, what's wrong?" The middle-aged beauty in the passenger seat asked curiously.
Arthur expressed his concerns: "We entered the city too early and will be coveted by the people inside."
As he drove through the city, he had noticed that the people searching for resources were all from the bus.
These people looked at the SUV with greed in their eyes.
Arthur didn't dare to stop the car anywhere in the city for fear of being swarmed by the others.
For the safety of his family, he could only find a secluded and empty area in the city to stop and rest.
But now everyone was searching for supplies, so where could he stop?
If there was no other choice, Arthur would have to drive to the outskirts of the city to rest.
The three siblings in the car looked at each other after hearing their father's worries, obediently sitting in their seats and opening the system to check the Group Chat App.
"Hey, Dad... someone in the chat is saying that fighting and killing are forbidden in the city, or you'll be electrocuted." Stella said after seeing a message in the chat.
Arthur's eyes lit up when he heard that, recalling the system's warning against fighting and killing. Then stopping in the city shouldn't be a big problem.
...
Outside the city.
More than an hour after the Hugo family's SUV landed, vehicles began to arrive one after another.
The quality of these vehicles looked pretty good. The impressive ones included armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, and tanks. The not-so-good ones were heavy trucks, SUVs, sports cars, RVs, fire trucks, and ambulances.
Of course, there were also some strangely shaped vehicles like the Hugo family's SUV.
On the other hand, ordinary small cars, trucks, and vans were inconspicuous among the many vehicles, clearly lacking in presence.
Having just escaped from the harsh environment of the Wind Disaster World, everyone swept away the fatigue caused by three consecutive days of driving.
Someone couldn't help but honk the horn a couple of times to celebrate, and then the honking quickly spread among the vehicles, causing everyone to join in.
Vehicle horns sounded throughout the city's outskirts, it was like a freeway full of hope, with one vehicle after another heading toward the city with great momentum.
As time passed, more and more vehicles arrived.
The number of people in the Group Chat App was also gradually increasing.
A medium-sized vehicle with a Bagua compass on its roof landed on the outskirts of the city. Sonny pinched his fingers a couple of times and pointed to the distant city, saying, "Buddy, let's go to that city and rest. We've been cooped up in the car for three days and suffered a lot. We can finally get a good night's sleep."
"Alright, we can finally rest. If we continued driving in the Wind Disaster World, I would have had a mental breakdown." A Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes responded and drove to the city while complaining.
Hearing the distant vehicle honking in celebration, Sonny's buddy couldn't help but honk the horn a couple of times to join the celebration.
Elsewhere on the outskirts.
An infantry fighting vehicle with armored bodywork landed.
"Is this the next world?" Frank couldn't help but open the hatch on the roof of the infantry fighting vehicle, sticking out half his body and taking a couple of deep breaths.
He had been cooped up in this infantry fighting vehicle for three days, almost suffocating inside.
Don't be fooled by how impressive the infantry fighting vehicle looks. The inside is really stuffy and uncomfortable, not even close to an RV.
"Let's go! Let's go to the city and get a good night's rest." Frank shouted into the armored vehicle.
The lackeys in the car immediately responded to Frank, driving quickly to the city.
...
Inside an SUV.
Joseph couldn't help but honk the horn to celebrate. Four women were sitting inside the car, and Sarah silently watched the Group Chat App with a glint in her eyes.
Ever since she learned that Jason had performed impressively in the Zombie World, she had been thinking about leaving Joseph and returning to Jason's side.
Although Joseph was also very powerful, Sarah was not living comfortably in his car.
Not only did she have to compete with the other women for favor, but she also risked being abandoned and losing her life at any time.
Only because Joseph had the ability to eliminate his presence, and they needed her help to steal Bronze Chests, was Sarah able to survive until now.
But that didn't guarantee her safety in the future.
Regardless of whether she could return to Jason's side, Sarah didn't want to stay in Joseph's car anymore. She had to find a new backer as soon as possible.
