I'm speechless! You want me to drive a baby stroller on the highway to survive?

Chapter 403 Speculations on the Monster Caravan

Lu Youyou opened the universal map. The routes and facilities on it hadn't changed much, and there was still a redemption machine that could upgrade the airbag vehicle's performance.

This means the little red dot representing the airbag vehicle has become smaller.

Although the small red dots were scattered in the past, there were quite a few of them overall.

There is now only a small red dot on the entire map.

"Youyou, look, there are two rule cards." Wang Qiao held them up for Lu Youyou to see.

[Game Rules: The first player to submit 100 points wins.]

Note: Submitting means losing 100 points. Excess points can be accumulated over multiple rounds. Please manage your airbag vehicle upgrade points and submission points wisely.

[Scoring Rules: Successfully ramming the monster team vehicle earns 20 points. Condition: Ramming with the rear of the vehicle.]

Lu Youyou sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "That's too much of a demand. I can chase people backwards, but I can't increase my speed."

Zhang Weimin volunteered: "Can the driver be switched? I can drive in reverse. My original rule card was to drive in reverse."

"We can't switch when competing against humans, but I wonder if we can switch now? Shall we give it a try?"

Without further ado, Lu Youyou and Zhang Weimin quickly switched seats. Once everyone was seated, Zhang Weimin gripped the steering wheel and slammed on the gas.

boom!

The car reversed rapidly, even performing a huge drift.

Lu Youyou's heart raced, filled with excitement and lingering fear: "Uncle Zhang, you're amazing! I thought we were going to crash just now."

"Driving is a piece of cake. Looks like the driver can be switched. I'll just keep chasing the monster car backwards like this."

"it is good."

Boom!

With a muffled thud, Denny collapsed onto the back seat.

Fortunately, the back seat was spacious; although he was sitting alone, it felt like a two-seater, so he wasn't thrown out.

"Hey bro, what's wrong?"

Zhang Weimin was very worried that he might be scared to death by one of his drifts.

Lu Youyou was used to it: "He just has a disease that makes him faint at any time, and no medicine can help. Let nature take its course."

“He can’t just lie there like that. He needs to be strapped in with a seatbelt, otherwise he’ll be the first one to fly off the ground in a crash.”

As he spoke, Zhang Weimin stopped the car so that everyone could fasten Deng Ni's seatbelt.

Lu Youyou specially found a soft blanket, folded it into a wide line, and used it to firmly tie Denny and the airbag seat together.

To prevent the blanket from coming apart due to impacts, the knotted parts were glued together with strong adhesive.

Zhang Yuning was quite thoughtful, even giving Deng Ni a sunflower-shaped neck pillow that was soft yet provided some support.

This way, Dennis won't strain his neck from sudden braking or starting.

After tidying up, everyone returned to their seats in an orderly manner, and Zhang Weimin continued driving in reverse.

Since only Wang Qiao and Lu Youyou had the all-powerful map among the group, and Wang Qiao needed to sit in the second-to-last row to see what was happening behind them, Lu Youyou sat in the front passenger seat.

"Xiao You, where's the monster car?"

Lu Youyou opened the all-powerful map, and her pupils dilated in shock.

"Uncle Zhang! Turn around!"

squeak--

The car made a sharp turn and drifted, successfully changing direction.

The next second, the car collided with the invisible monster car.

Everyone almost took off; the car swayed on the road for a long time before it stabilized.

hum~

Lu Youyou's watch vibrated, notifying her that she had earned 20 points.

"I'm sorry, I was distracted just now and didn't notice the universal map." Wang Qiao felt very guilty.

Because Zhang Weimin was driving backwards, the actual rear of the car is now the front.

Ahead of her, besides the sleeping Denny, was an open road.

With her mind preoccupied and noticing no cars on the road, she carelessly failed to check the map.

If Zhang Weimin hadn't reacted quickly, they would have fallen behind the monster team this time.

"It's alright, your Uncle Zhang's skills are top-notch," Zhang Weimin comforted her with a smile.

"However, I feel that we were a bit unstable after being hit and bounced up. How about we use those 20 points to add some weight?"

Lu Youyou readily agreed, saying that the weight should be increased, as the monster car was obviously heavier and would be more stable in a collision.

"Okay, I'll head over to the nearest redemption machine then."

With that, Zhang Weimin started the car.

On the way, Wang Qiao suddenly said, "Youyou, I feel like something's not right."

"What's wrong?"

"Denny, we've met so many people, but this is the first time I've seen someone this old. Not only is he old, but he's also frail. How has he managed to live this long?"

Zhang Weimin also said, "Indeed, I thought I was the oldest. This is the first time I've seen a survivor with white hair."

Lu Youyou said frankly, "At first I suspected he was an NPC, but he could speak on the public screen and had the same backpack slots as humans."

Wang Qiao fell silent.

She knew the monster NPC had a watch, but she also knew that the monster NPC couldn't speak in the public chat; if necessary, the NPC would contact the player privately.

But Denny... really is weird.

Given his tendency to faint at the slightest sign of trouble, he should have been killed by the monster at the very beginning of his survival journey. How has he managed to survive until now?

"Forget it, he's a member of our team now anyway, so I won't say anything. But everyone should still keep an eye on him, lest he set a trap for us without us even realizing it."

Lu Youyou nodded: "I understand."

The airbag-equipped car slowly came to a stop. Zhang Weimin said, "Youyou, we're here. This is your car. Only you can control the upgrade."

Lu Youyou got off the bus, found the "increase weight" option on the redemption machine, and redeemed it.

The points I just earned are gone, but it's all for the sake of dealing with the monster car better.

After upgrading the vehicle, Lu Youyou opened the universal map again and found that the little red dot was next to the redemption machine not far away.

He asked suspiciously, "Did the monster team get extra points too?"

"Then I need to speed things up."

Zhang Weimin glanced at his watch. He could see the redemption machine, but he couldn't see the little red dot because the monster had disappeared.

However, Lu Youyou's watch showed that Zhang Weimin had specifically noted the route, stepped on the gas, and roared off towards the red dot.

Boom!

The two cars collided, but Lu Youyou's car didn't react as violently as before.

Instead of swaying left and right, its elasticity allowed it to quickly create distance between itself and the monster vehicle.

The monster car immediately drove away, its little red dot on the map getting farther and farther away.

Zhang Weimin was about to give chase in his car when Lu Youyou stopped him.

"Uncle Zhang, don't chase after them yet, let's sort this out."

Lu Youyou said, "We all guessed that the monster car came here to upgrade its vehicles, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"But everyone felt it. During the first crash, we were almost thrown off, but now we're sitting comfortably in our seats while the monster car is gone."

Everyone nodded.

Wang Qiao: "You think the Monster Team didn't add any points and just came here on purpose to mislead us?"
