Highway Survival: Unlimited Upgrades, School Beauty Begs for a Ride

Chapter 22 The Zombie Horde Arrives!

"A game for the whole audience?"

Lin Xuan frowned, his gaze falling on the last line of text on the screen.

A zombie horde erupted throughout the game.

This means that every player on the entire server will encounter a horde of zombies on the road; no one can escape.

However, if this had happened before, he might have found it somewhat troublesome to encounter a zombie horde covering the entire map.

But now, his car has been fully upgraded, and its protective features are strong enough to withstand the bites of any mutated creature below a high level.

He even possesses large-scale firearms like the Gatling gun.

This thing can fire hundreds of bullets per minute, which is enough to give a zombie horde a run for its money.

Not to mention, his car can also activate a "shield" that grants immunity to all damage.

Lin Xuan sat leisurely in the driver's seat. Unlike the other players, he was even beginning to secretly look forward to the arrival of the zombie horde.

He habitually clicked on all channels.

As the pale blue screen lit up, the comments scrolled by one after another, as fast as a waterfall.

"Holy crap! A horde of zombies! The whole game is insane! Is this game crazy?!"

"It's only been three days since the server opened, how come there's already a zombie horde?"

"Three hours? I'm only in a level 1 vehicle! How am I supposed to endure that? Is there any expert who could spare some money to upgrade the core?"

"Anyone want to team up on the K100 section? We can help each other out if a horde of zombies comes!"

"Dawn Guild is recruiting! Join by submitting five upgrade cores, and we guarantee you'll survive tonight!"

"..."

Lin Xuan looked around, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Even at this point, the Dawn Guild is still recruiting, and they haven't stopped even with the zombie horde arriving.

Moreover, you need five upgrade cores to join this guild; this is a really shady business practice.

However, none of this mattered to him. He didn't need a guild, nor did he need any help.

His car alone is enough to hold off the horde of zombies!

"elder brother!"

At that moment, Lin Xiaoxiao's voice drifted from the passenger seat.

She tilted her head, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"What are you going to do now?"

Lin Xuan glanced at her, a hint of helplessness on his face.

As soon as the other person shows that expression, he knows that nothing good is coming!

"Bro, when the zombie horde comes, can I use that Gatling gun?"

Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, stretched out her black-stockinged legs, and poked Lin Xuan's thigh with her toe.

Lin Xuan glanced down at the black stockings on her legs and immediately rolled her eyes at her: "Don't be ridiculous."

"Do you know how to use that thing?"

"What nonsense!"

Lin Xiaoxiao crossed her arms over her chest, and pulled her black-stockinged legs back from his thighs.

She raised her chin arrogantly, "I'm really good at FPS games! I was the school's esports champion back in the day! Do you know what a school champion means? Isn't that much better than someone like you who didn't even make it to the qualifiers?"

"This isn't a game."

Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly. "And..."

Seeing the other person's serious expression, he sighed helplessly, "Fine!"

"Really?"

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly turned her head, her mouth forming an "O" shape. "I knew my otaku brother was the best!"

As she spoke, completely ignoring the stares of the two people in the back seat, she pounced on them.

"Get lost!"

Lin Xuan reached out and pressed Lin Xiaoxiao's forehead against him, immediately pulling her off him.

This guy really takes advantage of any kindness and has absolutely no sense of propriety!

Lin Xiaoxiao was thrown into the air, waving her arms wildly.

"Hey nerdy brother, come give me a hug! Consider it a reward!"

"Who wants your reward? Sit up!"

Lin Xuan activated the autopilot and then arrived at the casting platform.

The Gatling gun has a magazine capacity of 500 rounds.

Five hundred rounds may seem like a lot, but with the Gatling gun's terrifying rate of fire—hundreds of rounds per minute—five hundred rounds are only enough to sweep for a minute or two.

He lightly tapped the forging table, and a screen of light immediately appeared on it.

[100 x 7.62mm universal ammunition; Required materials: 10 x refined iron, 10 x saltpeter; Casting time: 5 minutes.]

Since it's a zombie horde, the number of those "monsters" must be much greater than before.

Now, he possesses over a thousand pieces of both refined iron and saltpeter.

He immediately waved his hand and directly produced "5000" bullets!

"Spend wisely. This isn't a game where bullets are unlimited and you run out once you've used them all."

After everything was settled, Lin Xuan glanced at the excited Lin Xiaoxiao beside him and reminded her,

"Okay, okay, you're the best, my otaku brother!!"

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, her black-stockinged legs swinging slightly on the seat.

She cupped her face in her hands, her bright eyes fixed on that handsome face.

"Lin Xuan, is there anything you need us to do later?"

Su Ran smoothed her disheveled hair and asked weakly,

Their current situation is that they are in the same boat as Lin Xuan and the others.

If anything happens to this car, the sisters will definitely not survive the horde of zombies!

"You'll just need to help Xiaoxiao out then!"

Lin Xuandao,

"good!"

Su Ran readily agreed and turned to walk to the Gatling gun to begin setting it up.

"And what about me? And what about me?"

At that moment, Su Nian suddenly leaned out from the back seat and whispered, "Is there anything I need to do?"

"You...you just shouldn't say anything inappropriate!"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly, and he said helplessly.

He had already experienced firsthand how ruthless this little girl's jinx could be.

Despite everyone else encountering no mutated creatures, she somehow managed to attract a mid-level mutated creature, the Licker, thanks to her "mouth."

If someone were to casually say something like that again this time,

It might attract advanced mutated creatures, or even more...

……

Time passed slowly, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

[Warning, warning! Five minutes left! The zombie horde is about to arrive!]

[Warning, warning! Five minutes left! The zombie horde is about to arrive!]

[Warning, warning! Five minutes left! The zombie horde is about to arrive!]

In the final five minutes, the cold system notification sounded again.

Lin Xuan stretched and casually opened all the channels again.

The barrage of comments above was overwhelming!

"Only five minutes left! Anyone want to team up?"

"Is Dawn Guild still recruiting? I've submitted five upgrade cores; can you take me with you?"

"Don't trust Dawn Guild! They're a scam! Once you hand over your upgrade cores, nobody cares about you! I've been kicked out of the group!"

"What?! Dawn Guild is a scam?! I just paid for five upgrade cores!"

"It's over, it's over, it's all over..."

"My car is only level one, what should I do?!"

"..."

Looking at the comments on the screen, Lin Xuan didn't feel much of a stir in his heart.

This game is inherently cruel; it's better to trust yourself than others.

If you can't even grasp the most basic concepts, you're destined to be eliminated from this game!
