Chapter 324: The Players' Escape (Part 1)

Zhu Zhiquan kept trying to fire the Ghost Fire out; finally, during one punch, he gathered the Ghost Fire on his fist in the form of compressed Magic Power, then released it in a burst as he threw the punch.

Boom!

A fireball formed from Ghost Fire flew out, passing directly through the car window and hitting a tree over ten meters away.

With a bang, a scorched mark appeared on that tree; it didn't look like the power was anything special, but it was still a pretty good method of attack.

After trying a few more times, Zhu Zhiquan drew the Five-Star Sword, preparing to test if this method could be applied to weapons.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxin sent a private message to question him: "Ajiu, why aren't you sleeping yet? We might need to drive all night, and someone will have to take over!"

Zhu Zhiquan replied immediately: "Don't worry, I've already coaxed Xuebao to sleep; we can let Xuebao take over when the time comes."

"What! You actually want to let Xuebao take over!? It's still a Baobao less than a month old! It's right in the middle of its growth spurt, how could you do this!?? _??"

Looking at the angry emoticon Zhao Yuxin sent, Zhu Zhiquan held his forehead and thought about how to respond. He had originally wanted to mention letting Gelina take over the driving, but seeing Zhao Yuxin's intense reaction, he felt embarrassed to bring it up.

Finally, under Zhao Yuxin's coercion, Zhu Zhiquan had no choice but to go back to sleep obediently, but looking at the soundly sleeping Xuebao, he felt completely numb.

There was no help for it; this Magic Wave only targeted non-plant life forms, and Xuebao, as an ice cream cactus, was also a member of the plants, just relatively special.

After exchanging a glance with Gelina, Zhu Zhiquan slowly crawled into the blankets to try to sleep. But the Magic Wave continued, and Zhu Zhiquan could only toss and turn in bed.

I don't know how much time passed, but this damned Magic Wave finally stopped. Players all over the jungle vented on the World Channel one after another, then began to take turns driving.

It was just a pity for those players whose teammates had sacrificed themselves; after the Magic Wave disappeared, they quickly felt a wave of exhaustion, but now the Dust behind them was constantly chasing, and even if the speed wasn't great, it was still quite a torture.

So, in order to keep their spirits up, a large number of players began to post on the World Channel; anyway, what they chatted about didn't matter, what mattered was being able to boost their spirits a little.

Consequently, dozens of messages drifted across the World Channel at once, basically all cursing this world for always causing so much trouble, as well as asking for ways to improve their energy.

Zhao Yuxin, who was just about to call Zhu Zhiquan to take over, walked toward the room while browsing the content on the World Channel.

Watching the player messages flash by at high speed, she couldn't help but complain: "Although you can distinguish such fast information after all attributes reach 20 points, it's really tiring to find useful information in a channel where dozens of messages fly by at once."

Then she clicked on the Player Group Channel and sent: "Everyone report your casualties; in a moment I will have the Deputy Regiment Leader chair a meeting."

After sending this message, Zhao Yuxin slapped Zhu Zhiquan a few times, successfully pulling him out of his sleep. Thus, Zhu Zhiquan was forced to take over driving from Zhao Yuxin and also had to conduct the Player Group meeting.

Zhu Zhiquan stared at the Player Group Channel, not knowing what to say for a moment, then he sent: "If anyone has anything to say, just post it in the channel; we won't hold a meeting." After sending this, he sat in the driver's seat to prevent being caught by the Dust.

Ling Xi: "Deputy Regiment Leader, I think we can try some products that can improve mental state, so we can make a big profit."

Once Ling Xi said this, everyone echoed her, but at this time Lv Yang proposed a new motion: "I think we should open the World Channel and then remind players to connect their cars together; this can reduce the mortality rate and also allow for rest."

Qin Luosheng: "But what good can come of this? It's better to sell my coffee."

Lv Yang: "The reason is very simple. You all want to know, aren't we trying to promote our currency to all players? To ensure the currency can be spread, we must ensure the survival rate of the players.

Only in this way can our Bamboo Creek Assembly gain prestige among them, and later, after obtaining a certain amount of prestige, promoting our currency to all players won't that be simpler?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "Then how do we improve the players' survival rate?"

Lv Yang: "It's very simple, we just need to tell the players to connect their cars together, so that solo players can have a chance to rest; won't the survival rate go up then?"

This remark by Lv Yang made Zhu Zhiquan suddenly enlightened, and he immediately ordered everyone to spam the World Channel to ensure all players could see this suggestion.

At the same time, he also approved providing goods to each other and selling some products that improve mental state.

Very quickly, their constant spamming behavior caught the attention of many players, and quite a few people driving alone had their eyes light up, one after another proposing cooperation to the players nearest to them.

Soon, long snakes composed of player vehicles appeared in the jungle; these "long snakes" were usually composed of 2 to 4 vehicles combined together, winding their way through the jungle.

Although the longer these "long snakes" were, the higher the probability of the vehicles behind hitting trees, for those who could only drive alone, this was the only way to rest.

Many players kept thanking the members of Bamboo Creek Assembly on the World Channel, allowing the entire Player Group's prestige to be elevated among the entire player community.

At this time, Ling Xi noticed that many of the longer teams were frequently hitting trees; even if the vehicles could outrun the Dust behind them, they were still covered in scars.

So her eyes rolled, and she sent on the World Channel: "Please pay attention, everyone; if you make the team very long, you need extra people responsible for helping the cars in the back to turn."

"So everyone should try as much as possible not to connect three cars, otherwise the possibility of hitting a tree is especially high. Of course, if there are those who have connected more than three cars, don't be afraid; you just need to have someone in the middle position responsible for steering."

Seeing this message, many players sent out expressions of gratitude one after another, and so some of the longer "long snakes" began to specifically arrange drivers in positions prone to collisions.

But there were also many players who chose to give up this kind of long team, turning instead to connecting in pairs, which immediately reduced the frequency of vehicle collisions.

As the Dust kept driving them, the gaps between players became shorter and shorter; as long as someone looked out the window, they could easily see a dozen or so cars nearby.

Such a dense population made Zhu Zhiquan feel a not-insignificant amount of pressure, and this pressure did not come from his social anxiety, but from a sense of crisis that was quietly rising.

This feeling was like something was driving prey toward a trap, just so it could have a full meal.

"Is it the World Boss? Hmph, its appetite is really big enough!" Zhu Zhiquan looked at the top right corner of the World Channel again and found that there were still over a thousand players left.

And a large portion of these thousand-plus people had bought the plants they sold that added attributes, and yet they were still being driven like a flock of sheep. This made Zhu Zhiquan clench his fists inadvertently, his eyes revealing a heat like a raging fire.
