The ice disaster has broken out

Zhang Wanyue walked closer to Zhou Xuening and took her hand.

“Xuening, thank you.”

Zhou Xuening chuckled. “Don't. I'm the one who should be thanking you, beautiful.”

Zhang Wanyue spoke seriously, “I hope to see you again on Road to Survival.”

Zhou Xuening nodded. “I hope to run into you as well.”

As she spoke, she also looked at Chen Yu. “And you, thanks. Next time we meet, I'll return the favor.”

Chen Yu's expression was calm. “I'll thank the heavens and the earth as long as you don't owe me any more favors.”

After saying that, he led Deng Yuxin and the others downstairs.

Zhou Xuening's looks were top-tier, and her talent was also top-tier, but at this stage of the road, he ultimately couldn't freely take in passengers; he was willing but lacked the power.

But Chen Yu estimated that with Zhou Xuening's ability and personality, they would meet again sooner or later.

Zhang Wanyue and Zhou Xuening shared a hug. “Bye, good luck.”

Watching the backs of the group as they departed.

Zhou Xuening murmured, “Haicheng Film Academy, Chen Yu...”

...At the neighborhood entrance, inside the van.

At the neighborhood entrance, inside the van.

Chen Yu had already changed into a set of second-hand outdoor gear.

Although the quality and comfort weren't as good as his previous set, it was still decent.

After all, he hadn't found any better options... Currently, the Vehicle's seating chart was as follows:

♦ Zhang Wanyue ♦ Chen Yu

♦ Deng Yuxin

♦ Li Meng Yao ♦ Wang Mengmeng

Since Zhang Zihao's original spot was now empty, Chen Yu could just adjust the seat back and lie right down!

Even better, Deng Yuxin was right beside him and could massage his arms... Unfortunately, the Class Monitor wasn't willing to massage Chen Yu's legs, otherwise that would have been true enjoyment.

Speaking of which, since he had saved the Class Monitor, given her personality, she should be very grateful to him.

At the very least, there should be one thing that fits the connection trait, right?

But that damn notification just wouldn't sound, leaving him quite frustrated.

【Exploration of No. 7 Abandoned Residential Area has ended】

【All surviving passengers, please return to your Vehicles immediately】

【Countdown: 300... 299... 298...】

The news of the impending end suddenly rang out in everyone's minds.

Then:

【First Segment (Extremely Safe) has ended】

【Vehicle E923 surviving passengers > 2, meets the requirement for current Vehicle organization continuation】

【Vehicle Owner voting is now open】

· All passengers on board may vote

· The person with the majority of votes will be elected

· Time limit: 180 seconds

· Vehicle Owner Privileges: Driver designation, key decision-making, Vehicle ownership, etc.

· Candidates include: Zhang Wanyue, Chen Yu, Deng Yuxin, Li Mengyao, Wang Mengmeng

“Is there even a need to choose?”

Zhang Wanyue spoke up directly, “Chen Yu, from now on you're the Vehicle Owner. I'll be the driver and handle the driving, okay?”

Chen Yu was stunned. “You know how to drive?”

He had originally thought he was the only male who knew how to drive.

Zhang Wanyue nodded. “Yeah, right after the college entrance exams, I learned to drive immediately!”

Li Mengyao and Wang Mengmeng glanced at each other.

They felt more and more that their own value was pitifully small, and they were more or less anxious.

Zhang Wanyue noticed this.

She smiled toward the back row. “Mengyao? Mengmeng?”

“Hmm?”

The two girls were slightly startled.

Zhang Wanyue's voice was gentle. “I'll teach you how to drive. No one knows how long this survival road is. If I drive by myself, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted to death.”

The two girls' eyes immediately lit up, and they nodded repeatedly. “Okay! Thank you, Class Monitor!”

Deng Yuxin also spoke softly, “Then I'll learn too...”

Zhang Wanyue smiled slightly. “Of course~”

The several of them chattered away, chatting about driving.

180 seconds passed just like that.

The Vehicle Owner naturally became Chen Yu.

Compared to the intrigue and backstabbing of his previous life, this life was going ridiculously smoothly.

【Voting complete】

【Vehicle E923 Owner: Chen Yu】

【Privileges activated】

【Important Announcement】

· The Vehicle will be completely taken over by the passengers

· You may get on or off the Vehicle and perform any operations at any time, but you must arrive at the next station by the designated time

· Vehicle upgrade system has been opened

· Road to Survival will release disasters at irregular intervals

· The closer the Vehicle is to the next station, the smaller the disaster hazard coefficient

“We can get on and off at any time and do whatever we want? Doesn't that mean we're free?!”

“There's actually such a good thing!”

“But... disasters... it's so vague, who knows what they are?”

Zhang Wanyue frowned, somewhat confused... but before her words had even finished falling!

The cold notification continued:

【Ice Disaster has erupted】

【Current area temperature will drop to -40°C within 180 seconds】

【And will continue to drop】

【All passengers please take cold protection measures immediately】

【Vehicle insulation performance is insufficient, please upgrade as soon as possible, or quickly flee the low-temperature zone】

“What?!”

“Minus... minus forty degrees?!”

“Even the Northeast isn't this cold, right?”

“I knew there was no such thing as a good deal. They said we're free, but then it's straight to minus forty degrees!”

The faces of everyone in the car instantly turned pale.

As the notification sound fell, white frost began to condense on the car windows at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chen Yu's mouth twitched. “Even Antarctica might not be minus forty degrees...”

But in reality, he felt a bit of secret joy.

Because in his previous life, the first disaster was 【Silent Toxic Gas】.

Colorless and odorless, it seeped in slowly.

Once the inhalation exceeded the limit, organs would immediately fail, leading to sudden death.

If the Vehicle didn't have a disinfection and purification system, death was certain within a week at most.

One had to realize that at that time, the first station had just ended... who could have expected to face such a killing move?

This also resulted in half the people on a bus dying suddenly by the third station in his previous life!

The ice of this life was at least visible and tangible!

“Class Monitor,”

Chen Yu turned his head and spoke quickly, “You drive. Floor the accelerator and let's rush out of this area first.”

The reason he wanted her to floor it was that for this kind of van, even if the pedal was to the metal, it would only go about 130 or 140 kilometers per hour at most.

Fortunately, it was barely enough... any faster, and with the Class Monitor's skill level... she probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

He wanted her to get used to high-speed driving first, so she wouldn't be unable to adapt to even higher speeds after the Vehicle was upgraded later.

Zhang Wanyue was slightly stunned, her hands tightening on the steering wheel.

She had only volunteered to drive because she had a license and could provide value.

She never expected that just a few minutes later, she would have to face this kind of life-or-death sprint... this was the first time she had experienced such a terrifying driving atmosphere.

Deng Yuxin hugged her arms, her voice trembling. “Class Monitor, hurry and drive! It's getting colder and colder!”

Zhang Wanyue closed her eyes for three seconds, seemingly doing some mental preparation.

When she opened her eyes,

“Vroom!”

The van ignited and surged forward!

Outside the window... the wasteland was quickly shrouded in a layer of blue-tinted ice mist; the scene was as eerie as a dream.

The bone-chilling cold penetrated the steel plates and instantly invaded the car.

“So cold...”

Wang Mengmeng hugged her arms, her teeth starting to chatter. “Luckily we brought clothes, but they all seem to be for summer. We don't have any winter coats...”

Li Mengyao also huddled into a ball from the cold. “Don't be picky, put on everything thick...”

Meanwhile, Chen Yu, sitting alone in the front row, was preoccupied.

Because he was currently exercising his rights as the Vehicle Owner, his gaze rapidly scanning through a series of data:

【Current Vehicle: Van (Small)】

【Available Construction Materials: Wood x3990, Iron x1980, Parts x2640, Cloth x15, Glass x20, Low-grade Energy Core x133】

【Lacking: Electronic components, filter materials, special chemical materials, etc.】

【Vehicle Upgrade——】

【1. Space Expansion】

【2. Structural Reinforcement】

【3. Environmental Control】

【4. Power and Energy】

【5. Special Facilities】

Chen Yu was certain that he could mod this Vehicle to his heart's content!

This amount of construction materials was an astronomical figure to survivors who were still fighting for a few dozen units of materials!!!

It was all thanks to the red luan's returns!

This was just the return from Deng Yuxin's single red luan; what if the whole car was full of red luans?

Chen Yu took a deep breath and stopped overthinking... because the temperature was still dropping continuously, which was extremely terrifying!

What he needed to do now was turn this little van into the strongest multi-functional fortress in the apocalypse!
