Song Chiyu checked the remaining steamed buns and the supplies obtained from the exchange.

38 batteries, 127 plastics, 102 cloths, 86 wooden blocks, 49 iron blocks, 35 glass, 26 cotton, and 19 rubbers.

She exchanged a lot of materials this time, and felt that she had taken another big step closer to upgrading her pedal tricycle.

Song Chiyu originally thought that he would be able to upgrade after acquiring the materials in this transaction, but he has not heard any upgrade notification from the system yet.

So she opened the vehicle control panel.

【升级:塑料:226/200,布料:168/100,铁块:73/80,玻璃:43/50,升级卡:3/5】

There were indeed not enough materials.

Several iron blocks and glass are still missing, and most importantly, two vehicle upgrade cards are missing.

She didn't find any mid-tier or high-tier treasure chests.

In order to upgrade his vehicle as soon as possible, Song Chiyu decided to continue searching for treasure chests in the vicinity.

At the same time, check the surrounding environment so that if there is any danger, you can find another place to spend the night.

After making up his mind, Song Chiyu first sat on the tricycle to rest, and set off again after regaining some strength.

She took out a bottle of mineral water from her spatial storage and drank it all in one gulp.

She drank a lot of water from this bottle during her bike ride, and now there's only a little left in it.

She also put the empty mineral water bottles back into her spatial storage, keeping them to store water when she found a water source later.

She has nothing now, and she can't afford to waste even the smallest bit of supplies.

The water supply we're currently providing is only enough for drinking, but we also need it for washing, which means we use much more water.

Hopefully, we can find a water source later and fill her gift box!

"Daidai, after you set up the tent, just wait here obediently for me to come back. I'm going to find the supply chest."

After resting, Song Chiyu turned to the busy Daidai and gave him some instructions, then got up and took out a machete from her spatial storage.

Start searching for treasure chests in the surrounding area.

Daidai nodded obediently and continued setting up the tent.

Although it is small in size, its arms can extend and retract, so it can immediately solve the problem of things that are out of reach by stretching out its arms.

On the other side, Song Chiyu had already left the highway.

She would chop at each patch of grass with her machete beforehand to check for any danger, and only peek out to examine it carefully if she was sure it was safe.

Without realizing it, she had walked a little further away.

It got dark very quickly.

The warm orange sun had dyed half the sky red, while half of its body was already obscured by the distant mountains.

When she looked up, it was already late, and when she looked back, she couldn't see even a trace of the road.

However, precisely because the surrounding light and shadows had dimmed, the prompt box that Song Chiyu saw became very clear in the darkness.

"There is a treasure chest here."

“There’s a pile of pheasant droppings here.”

"There is a treasure chest here."

......

One by one, notification boxes emitting a faint glow appeared in the darkness. Song Chiyu looked left and right, feeling as if she was surrounded by notification boxes.

She sifted through the clues for the treasure chests, feeling her way in the dim light of dawn, and finally found four treasure chests.

Suddenly, the system's cold female voice kept echoing in her mind.

[Warning! Warning! It will be dark in ten minutes. Please return to the highway immediately!]

[Warning! Warning! It will get dark in 5 minutes. Please return to the highway immediately!]

[Warning! Warning! It will get dark in 3 minutes. Please return to the highway immediately!]

Without even checking what class of treasure chests they were, Song Chiyu grabbed a few chests and ran wildly towards the highway.

What a joke! The system rules clearly state that you cannot leave the highway at night.

With thirty seconds left in the countdown, Song Chiyu finally stepped onto the road with all her might.

Back at the tricycle, she found that Daidai had already set up the waterproof tent in the back of the tricycle.

The tent has a suction cup at the bottom that can firmly attach it to the car, and it won't be blown away by the wind except during typhoons.

Song Chiyu shook the tent with his hand, but it didn't budge; it was indeed very sturdy.

She gave Daidai a thumbs-up with satisfaction.

A cool breeze blew by, and through Song Chiyu's thin, cicada-wing-like sun protection clothing, it gave her goosebumps all over her arms.

She noticed that the temperature around her had dropped sharply, significantly lower than the previous night, almost like two different seasons.

The watch shows 8:00 PM and a temperature of 8°C.

At that moment, the familiar system voice sounded again.

[It's getting dark. Players are advised to stay inside their vehicles. Darkness signifies danger, please be careful!]

As the last note faded, the whole world seemed to suddenly have its lights switched off, instantly swallowed by darkness.

Even the last glimmer of dim light in the west had vanished without a trace.

Everything happened so fast!

Song Chiyu was startled by the sudden darkness, his heart tightened, and his hair stood on end.

Who could imagine that just the day before she was resting in her soft little bed?

A day later, she could only sit alone on the deserted highway.

Last night, darkness didn't fall as suddenly as it does now; perhaps this is the true nature of the game world.

Yesterday was the last normal night they could enjoy.

After taking a while to adjust to the darkness, Song Chiyu fumbled to turn on his watch.

The channel was filled with panic.

Some people were sending voice messages, others were typing; it was quite a lively scene.

The screen's light faintly illuminated a circle around her, allowing her to see things within a square meter.

[Wow! That scared me! It's really dark! Everything went completely dark in an instant; I thought I'd gone blind!]

[Mommy, I'm afraid of the dark! Waaaaah! I want to go home, let me go home!]

[It's so cold! The temperature in the game dropped like the stock market, without any warning!]

[Does anyone have thermal underwear? I'll trade him some food!]

It's eerily cold tonight; if I sleep on the floor, I definitely won't make it through the night.

How am I supposed to stand this? I've never left the air-conditioned room at night before, and I feel like I'm freezing.

Is it still useful to bring this up now?

...

There are many people around the world complaining about the temperature.

Song Chiyu climbed onto the truck bed with Daidai. Before crawling into the waterproof tent, she suddenly looked up at the sky, which was devoid of any stars.

The weather feels weird.

Once they entered the cramped tent, the screen's light instantly brightened, illuminating every corner like a small light bulb.

By the light, Song Chiyu could see the treasure chest he had just brought back.

It's a beginner-level treasure chest and a mid-level treasure chest.

One? One?

Weren't we supposed to bring back four in total? Where are the other two?

Song Chiyu unzipped the tent and looked out. The road was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Nothing can be seen.

"001, do you know why the treasure chest suddenly disappeared?"

I lost two last time, and I lost two more this time.

They were all lost without anyone noticing. Could the thief be an inside man?

She had worked so hard to find these, and she wouldn't allow a single one to be lost!

[Master, those treasure chests are all dangerous and won't be of any help to you!]

Ok?

Song Chiyu narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.

How do you know they're all dangerous boxes?

Its sharp gaze swept across everything within the divine sense, leaving 001 nowhere to hide.

001 became so guilty that she started rambling incoherently, but eventually confessed everything.
