Surviving on the highway, I have a best friend who was reborn.

Chapter 40 Two pills today

Pomegranate knew that the game rule was that monsters that weren't eliminated would reappear in later sections of the path.

The monster had already appeared, and there was no time to understand why Hua Xinyan wanted to harm her.

Holding a psionic lightsaber, he faced the enormous monster head-on. Its body, over three meters tall, was covered with rotting flesh and constantly rupturing pustules. Yellowish-green liquid seeped from those swollen sacs, dripping onto the ground with the rain and making a hissing, corrosive sound.

The monster's disgusting appearance made her gasp.

In comparison, Shi Liu, who is 1.7 meters tall, looks very petite.

A protective energy shield was applied to the vehicle, and Pomegranate led the monster forward, giving it more room to maneuver.

Holding the activation button on the psionic lightsaber, I was glad I had changed into a sleek black Class A protective suit beforehand. It was originally for protection against acid rain, but this monster was covered in pustules and it might be poisonous, so it was good to be safe.

The monster let out a howl unlike any earthly creature and lunged at her. Pomegranate wasn't one to sit idly by; she aimed for the monster's leg and struck, her lightsaber easily slicing through the rotting flesh.

More corrosive liquid spurted from the wound, and a few drops splashed onto the protective suit, leaving corrosive marks but without causing damage.

The enormous monster seemed to feel no pain, most likely because the wound left by the pomegranate was too small for it.

It slapped the ground with its deformed forelimbs, causing more pustules to burst and acidic fluid to splatter everywhere.

Pomegranate had to keep moving, avoiding the disgusting pus.

"How am I supposed to fight this? Even if I blow it up with a pop fruit, it might not die. I reckon it'll be buried in all this pus!"

Its enormous claws swung down, and Shiliu raised her lightsaber to block. The monster's strength was astonishing, making her arm go numb.

“We must find its weakness…” Pomegranate observed the monster through a gap in the parry.

As time passed, the rain lessened and showed signs of stopping.

Those pustules seemed to be key; each time they burst out with corrosive liquid, the monster's movements would slow down.

A dangerous plan formed in her mind as she looked resolutely at the monster that was attacking again.

The giant claw swung down again, but Pomegranate didn't completely block it. She sprang to her feet, letting the claw graz her left side. The excruciating pain almost made her vision go black, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, unleashing the full power of her lightsaber to plunge it into the largest abscess in the monster's abdomen.

It was very effective. The monster let out a miserable howl, and corrosive liquid gushed out, accompanied by a stench. In this serious moment, Pomegranate really wanted to curse a few times.

Holding her waist, blood kept gushing from her wound, and her protective suit had a large hole in it.

Take out the Pop Fruit, find the right opportunity, and throw it.

……

Looking at the Yuan Bridge after the rain stopped, and thinking that today's mission was completed, he planned to take out the red fruit to absorb it.

Her spirit level is 150, so she can eat two red berries at once today.

Back in the bedroom, I was sitting on the bed, but then I thought that the red fruit had both internal conditioning and body-tempering effects, and that it might have the effect of expelling impurities like in novels.

I went to the bathroom, sat in the empty bathtub, took a bite, and it was delicious!

Just like last time when I ate hawthorn, a warm current flowed through my whole body. This was probably because I had a full-body spa treatment at the medical station, and the warm current flowed through my body very smoothly.

After swallowing the second pill, I could clearly feel an energy starting to act on my muscles and bones.

It felt tingly and numb, not very painful, and Yuanqiao could tolerate it.

In less than two hours, I finished absorbing the nutrients, washed up, changed into a white tracksuit, and emerged from the bathroom feeling refreshed.

Physical fitness increased by 16 points, and mental strength increased by 1 point.

[Physique: 73]

[Spirit value: 151]

【HP: 1500】

I feel like I could punch two cows away right now!

Remembering the combat simulation MOD membership card from last time, I took it out and recharged it for two hours, wanting to test my strength. "Squeak~"

Tuanzai tugged at Yuanqiao's trouser leg; the rain had stopped outside, and he wanted to go play.

Thinking about dinner time, I stroked the rabbit's bottom, picked up the little one, and got out of the car.

I turned on the vehicle's camping mode, took out a small grill on the road, and decided to have a barbecue since I had some coal on hand.

As soon as Tuanzai got out of the car, she ran off to play, and Yuanqiao didn't care. The two of them could communicate with each other through mental energy.

While watching the chat in the lobby, I prepared the ingredients.

[Liu Wei: Does anyone have any fruit? I'm a bit vitamin deficient these past few days. Why is it so hard to get food from my supply crates? I suspect it's a setup by the authorities!]

[Hu Xiatian: Hahaha, there's capital in survival games too!]

[Pomegranate: Hua Xinyan, don't give me a chance, I will definitely kill you.]

[Liu Zihao: Sister Shiliu, how are you doing now?]

[Starlight: There seems to be some juicy gossip.]

[Li Tongtong: I'm curious about what she did]

[Liu Zihao: Didn't that girl Hua Xinyan spawn a huge monster? I wonder how she managed to get it to Sister Pomegranate's place.]

[Wang Lei: There's such a thing? I never expected Hua Xinyan to pretend to be so kind. This is the first time she's exposed such a harmful scandal in the lobby, and she's the one who's in charge.]

[Shen Yaozu: What grudge could she possibly have? This girl is truly wicked.]

[Hu Xiatian: Adding to the list of gossipers]

[Hua Xinyan: I didn't! Is there some misunderstanding... Waaaaah...]

Yuan Qiao thought of the forced exchange tool that Hua Xinyan had used on her, and looked at her speech with disgust.

She's now harming others; I don't quite understand her thought process.

[Yuanqiao: She switched my supplies at the service station and even used a monster treasure chest to harm her friend.]

At noon, I originally wanted to ask the staff where Hua Xinyan went after checking out, and then I heard their gossip.

After leaving an angry message in the chat lobby, Shi Liu dragged her injured body back to her vehicle.

Fortunately, she had prepared in advance, and she managed to kill the monster with difficulty, obtaining a weapon or item.

Without a closer look, I could see that there were many corroded wounds on his body, with a contamination level of 11%. He was originally seriously injured and on the verge of death, lying on the highway, and his consciousness was beginning to fade.

The healing orb purchased from the store automatically flew out of the system inventory and circled around her after sensing that her health was below 20.

The healing green light shone on Pomegranate, restoring 50 health points, but the festering wounds continued to bleed.

After regaining some strength, I took some medicine for both internal and external injuries. I used 10 purification potions because I was infected by the monster and the contamination level was 21%. I'll buy more when I get back to the vehicle. It looks like it's going to rain again.

The losses were severe, and I was also seriously injured. Fortunately, Liu Zihao came to warn me in advance, and I was thinking of sending him some more things later.

She remembered this mistake. She didn't like causing trouble, but she also didn't want to let go of the person who harmed her for no reason.

……

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating—no, the game company wasn't cooperating either; it started drizzling again just as I put the food on the grill.

Yuanqiao reluctantly packed his things into the RV and called for Tuanzai to come back quickly.

Tuanzai responded that it wanted to run and play for a while longer, and asked Yuanqiao to drive up ahead to pick it up.

With two hours left until 8 p.m., and the ability to continue driving, Yuanqiao decided to turn on the automatic driving mode, fold up the tatami bed in the driver's cab, turn on the ventilation system, and grill the food while keeping an eye on it.

After driving for seven or eight minutes, we heard a voice prompt that there was a supply chest ahead.
