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

As it turns out, Lu Youyou was too optimistic.

We drove from dawn till dusk, and all we could see was an endless highway and boundless yellow sand; we couldn't find anything of any use.

squeak--

She gripped the brakes and stopped the car on the spot.

I took an apple out of the refrigerator and started eating it, while also checking the chat to see what other people were up to.

[Player 8903: Did you guys receive it? Should I participate in this game or not? I'm so conflicted.]

[Book: Seriously, is there anyone who can say something? If you guys participate, we newbies won't participate. Who can compete with you?]

Want to join the game?

what game?

It can't be that the watch update forgot about her.

Lu Youyou returned to the watch's homepage and noticed an envelope-shaped icon next to her personal panel.

Out of curiosity, I clicked on it, and after a burst of golden light, the envelope slowly unfolded, revealing the words on it.

[Hunger Games Invitation: After participating in the game, you will encounter many treasure chests filled with food. Some of this food is real, and some is monsters in disguise. To survive, try to eat as little as possible. The game lasts for seven days, and there are generous rewards for successfully surviving.]

[Click to confirm participation in the game: Yes/No.]

Oh, so this is the game.

The fact that you can choose whether or not to participate is more user-friendly than the previous speed competition.

"Should I participate or not?" Lu Youyou was a little conflicted.

She wasn't worried about not having anything to eat; after all, the food in her backpack would last her ten days, so there was no way she wouldn't survive seven days in the game.

She was worried about the people participating in the competition.

What if we encounter bad people...

Immediately, Lu Youyou denied her worries.

"Even if there are bad guys, if we don't fight them now, do you think they'll all die inside once the competition starts? Or will they all turn over a new leaf once they come out?"

"Since we're going to encounter bad guys anyway, we might as well take the initiative. We can't just wait for the bad guys to get the reward and widen the gap between us, can we?"

Lu Youyou convinced herself with just a few words, and she decided to participate!

In this world of survival, a world full of unique challenges, to not fight is to fall behind.

Thinking of this, Lu Youyou clicked "Yes" directly, and all the content on the invitation disappeared, and then a sentence slowly appeared.

The Hunger Games officially begin tomorrow morning at 6:00 AM. Good luck!

With something on her mind, Lu Youyou couldn't even enjoy eating a crisp, sweet apple.

After quickly finishing the remaining apple and drinking most of a bottle of water, Lu Youyou felt her stomach was full and she was no longer hungry, so she lay back down in the truck bed.

The sky was pitch black, with no moon or stars.

If it weren't for the light emitted by watches and car headlights, the whole world would be lifeless.

hum~

The watch vibrated, indicating that someone had tagged her or sent a private message. Lu Youyou raised her arm to her eyes.

[Jin Mingcheng: Thanks to the battery, brother, I was able to create the drum washing machine. Brother, do you have any dirty clothes to wash?]

Player 6666: No need.

[Jin Mingcheng: Really not? I won't steal your clothes, I'll wash them for free. Anyway, I don't have many clothes, using so much water would be a waste.]

[Player 6666: No need.]

Jin Mingcheng did not reply to the message.

Lu Youyou opened his survival space and found that he had posted a video of a washing machine in operation. The sound of rushing water made Lu Youyou extremely envious.

Although she had water, she still couldn't bear to wash her hair or take a bath.

It's only used for cleaning private parts and washing underwear.

Kim Myung-sung is a lucky man; he not only has so much water, but he can also make a drum washing machine.

Will such a lucky person participate in tomorrow's Hunger Games?

Thinking of this, Lu Youyou sent a message to Jin Mingcheng.

[Player 6666: Did you participate in the Hunger Games?]

[Jin Mingcheng: I participated, mainly for the final reward.]

[Player 6666: Do you know what the rewards are?]

[Jin Mingcheng: I don't know, but my gut feeling is that the reward will be plentiful, and my intuition is usually right.]

Lu Youyou sighed and turned off her watch.

If all lucky people have an intuition for good things, wouldn't she be the unluckiest person in the game?

Forget it.

It’s useless to think so much.

Since I've already participated in the game, I can't cancel it. I can only rest up and prepare for tomorrow's game.

Lu Youyou forced herself not to overthink and counted sheep in her head to lull herself to sleep.

The more he counted, the more energetic he became, because he got angry at himself for making a mistake.

After that, she stopped counting sheep and fell asleep while scrolling through the chat.

Because she had something on her mind, Lu Youyou didn't sleep well.

I would wake up every one or two hours, check the time, and then go back to sleep.

When I woke up again, it was exactly five o'clock, and it was still dark.

Lu Youyou turned on the car lights, placed the steel block on the ground, took out a small stainless steel pot, poured in half a bottle of water, and lit the firewood.

After the water boiled, I put the instant noodles in and then put out the two servings of vegetable salad that I had saved earlier.

This stuff has been sitting for a while, and the leaves inside aren't very fresh anymore, so I'll just eat it all at once.

After having breakfast and packing my things, only half an hour had passed.

There is still half an hour before the game starts.

At this point, Lu Youyou was no longer nervous.

She scrolled through the chat to kill time.

[Zhang Yuning: Those participating in the Hunger Games should try to collect as much food as possible; it's best not to eat the food available in the games.]

[Player 0311: Yes, I still have food here, at the same price as before, no price increase. You must return safely.]

[Rampage: 0311 is telling the truth. I used only one basic ingredient to make a loaf of bread.]

Can you exchange a basic ingredient for a whole loaf of bread?

This is a breath of fresh air amidst the public chat about skyrocketing food prices.

Even though Lu Youyou had food, she couldn't resist the temptation and still went to chat with Zhang Weimin privately.

[Player 6666: Do you have any food left over?]

[Player 0311: Oh, so you're my savior! You participated in the Hunger Games too? It's not an easy game there, why did you join?]

Lu Youyou frowned as she looked at the message Zhang Weimin sent.

I know he meant well, but after reading that sentence, I didn't feel cared for; I just felt annoyed.

She felt that Zhang Weimin's words to her indicated that their relationship was a bit too close.

It made her unconsciously want to escape.
