7: Chapter 7 Something's Wrong

Qin Yun, having opened his eyes again, repeatedly stroked the energy gathering gun on the front of the electric vehicle.

This energy gathering gun gave him a full sense of security!

It was truly hard to imagine that the National Highway Survival had only just begun, yet he had already reached this point.

This was simply... too exciting!

Looking at the dressed Giant Rabbit he had painstakingly processed in his primary space ring, Qin Yun silently whispered a thank you.

He sincerely thanked the Giant Rabbit for everything it had provided.

Now, he could finally rest for a bit.

After organizing supplies, experiencing the rollercoaster of emotions, and processing the Giant Rabbit, now that his body and mind were relaxed, Qin Yun also felt exhausted.

"Cat Xiaoxiao, Xiao Qi, I'm going to rest for a bit. If there's any emergency, remember to wake me up immediately. Cat Xiaoxiao, after I fall asleep, you can move around the electric vehicle as you please, but you absolutely cannot get off!"

After giving his instructions, Qin Yun moved to the back seat and rested with his back against the primary water condenser.

...

The electric vehicle controlled by Qin Xiaoqi was very steady, and Qin Yun slept soundly.

Thus, he slept until eleven o'clock at night before slowly waking up.

Qin Yun stretched and rubbed his eyes, discovering that visibility had decreased significantly. Especially outside the Highway, he could barely see anything beyond ten meters!

It seemed that even if he waited until tomorrow when the time on the countdown increased to a certain point, if he chose to go out and explore, he would have to return to the Highway before dark!

Cat Xiaoxiao, who had been resting on the front seat, also woke up at this moment. Upon discovering that Qin Yun had woken up, she immediately pressed her front paws down to stretch her body, her tail tip swaying back and forth to show affection.

"Cat Xiaoxiao, come here and cuddle."

Hearing the command, Cat Xiaoxiao let out a happy meow, stepped forward, tilted her head, and nudged Qin Yun's chin.

"Meow?"

After interacting and playing for a while, Cat Xiaoxiao meowed, asking when she could eat.

Her little tummy was hungry.

Qin Yun's stomach also rumbled.

"Let's eat... a late-night snack right now."

Gently stroking her furry cat head, Qin Yun took out bowls, chopsticks, mineral water, and packaged ready-to-eat food from his space ring one by one.

It was currently impossible to have a hot meal.

The wooden boards and wood shavings he had brought along were just incidental; they weren't enough to make a meal at all.

Qin Yun didn't mind.

Now that he had a water condenser that could condense drinkable water, was there any need to worry about not being able to obtain firewood or similar items from the trading market?

Even if not many people brought firewood, after daybreak, there would definitely be people going out to chop trees and gather firewood!

Qin Yun also decided to check out the trading market later.

"Xiao Qi, did you notice any unusual situations while I was resting?"

While asking Qin Xiaoqi, Qin Yun tore off meat from a chicken leg and put it into Cat Xiaoxiao's dedicated bowl.

"Master, although I haven't detected any situations nearby, you should not let your guard down."

"Why do you say that?"

Qin Yun was a bit confused.

"Because the previous vehicle did not have scanning, sensing, camera, radar, or receiving functions. My original functions are very limited, so I cannot guarantee the safety of the surroundings."

Qin Yun nodded, indicating he understood.

The primary intelligent core was very strong, but the current vehicle limited her performance.

After eating a simple late-night snack, Qin Yun had Qin Xiaoqi continue to control the electric vehicle forward, while he planned to get off and walk around to stretch his body.

Having sat and slept on the electric vehicle for so long, and then eating his late-night snack on it, his body really felt uncomfortable.

Getting off the electric vehicle, Qin Yun began to stretch his somewhat uncomfortable body.

He had to admit that the unpolluted air really had a slightly sweet taste.

Cat Xiaoxiao, who had been repeatedly wiping her face and licking her paws on the vehicle, became anxious when she saw that her master hadn't called her to join him.

She jumped onto the primary water condenser, looked up at Qin Yun, and meowed, indicating that she also wanted to get off the vehicle.

"How rare."

Qin Yun stepped forward, rubbed her cat head, and picked up the well-behaved-looking Cat Xiaoxiao into his arms.

He really hadn't expected Cat Xiaoxiao to have remembered his instructions from before he rested until now.

Very obedient, but she didn't fully understand; they still needed to communicate more.

"Alright, go play on the Highway yourself, just don't run off the Highway."

Qin Yun put down Cat Xiaoxiao and continued to exercise his body.

Regardless of whether this place was like what was written in novels, possessing spiritual energy, vital energy, or whatever, exercising more was always good.

While exercising, Qin Yun didn't forget to keep an eye on the situation outside the Highway.

However, the more he paid attention, the more he had the feeling of being watched.

Something was wrong, very wrong!

There must be some unknown thing watching him from the shadows; otherwise, he wouldn't have this feeling!

Qin Yun understood and was certain.

Immediately, he took an iron nail from his space ring. While turning around quickly, he threw it towards a spot outside the Highway based on his intuition!

The next moment, a rustling sound came from the distance!

Cat Xiaoxiao, who had extremely quick reflexes, immediately jumped in front of Qin Yun and let out a threatening meow towards the outside of the Highway!

She had to protect her master!

The electric vehicle controlled by Qin Xiaoqi turned quickly, the headlights turned on, and the ordinary energy-gathering gun on the front of the vehicle aimed at a spot outside the Highway!

As long as the unknown thing outside the Highway dared to show itself, she would definitely be able to hit its vital parts with one shot!

Qin Yun held a dagger in his left hand and a steel bar in his right, watching the pitch-black area outside the Highway quietly.

Even though he knew that the Highway during the beginner adaptation period was absolutely safe, he subconsciously took out his weapons to remain vigilant.

The sound gradually faded until it could no longer be heard. Only then did Qin Yun put the dagger and steel bar back into his space ring, then picked up Cat Xiaoxiao in front of him and walked towards the electric vehicle to the side.

Could it be that beast that looked like a hyena, the one that saw him processing the Giant Rabbit?

"During this beginner adaptation period, the Highway is absolutely safe; no living things can get in. Let's continue forward!"

Qin Yun got on the electric vehicle and took out the mineral water and Cat Xiaoxiao's dedicated bowl.

"Cat Xiaoxiao, there will probably be other things peeking at us from outside the Highway later, remember not to run out."

"Meow!"

Cat Xiaoxiao nodded her cat head with a serious expression.

Qin Yun poured some water into her bowl, then gently patted the front of the vehicle and said, "Xiao Qi, the visibility at night is too low. Even if we shoot and kill something, it's impossible to go out and retrieve the prey, so don't waste energy."

"Alright, Master, Xiao Qi understands."

Qin Yun turned his head to look outside the Highway.

The visibility at night was still too low!

But this was definitely temporary!

After all, if things like intelligent cores and space rings existed, there would definitely be devices to disperse thick fog or allow vehicles to see further distances!

After pondering for a moment, Qin Yun opened the communication category on the survivor panel.

The number on it had changed to 9993, which meant that from the beginning until now, 7 people had lost their lives!

So, other Survivors had already gone out to explore!

Qin Yun's heart stirred, and he opened the regional communication channel.
