Chapter 51: The Seventh Day of the Game

"Now that we've got the items, we have to leave quickly. Ajiu is in bad shape right now and can't explore anymore." Zhao Yuxin retrieved the red medicine bottle and carried Zhu Zhiquan back to the tricycle.

Zhao Yuxin draped a bear skin over Zhu Zhiquan, then stood guard by his side for the entire night.

When the chickens in the Micro Poultry Breeding Platform crowed the next day, Zhu Zhiquan was woken up by the sound.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Yuxin sleeping beside him in the nude. Looking at the bear skin and her clothes covering himself, Zhu Zhiquan gently kissed Zhao Yuxin on the forehead.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo—"

At this moment, the chickens in the Micro Poultry Breeding Platform crowed at an inopportune time. Furious, Zhu Zhiquan crafted a Dingtang Sword in the crafting interface to intimidate the chickens inside, then went to the driver's seat and started pedaling the tricycle.

After pedaling for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yuxin's voice came from the carriage. "Ajiu, where are you? Ajiu, where did you go!"

While pedaling the vehicle, Zhu Zhiquan shouted in response: "Right here."

Hearing Zhu Zhiquan's voice, Zhao Yuxin didn't even have time to put on her clothes before crawling out from the bear skin. In the blink of an eye, she reached the rear window and commanded: "Stop the car! I'll pedal."

Zhu Zhiquan said nonchalantly: "Isn't it the same whoever pedals?"

"No! You just recovered from the weakened state, you must get some proper rest!" Zhao Yuxin said sternly.

Zhu Zhiquan still had a nonchalant expression, "No need for that, this..."

"3!"

"2!"

Seeing Zhao Yuxin was angry, Zhu Zhiquan quickly stopped the car and nimbly went to the carriage. "What's wrong, Azhao? Hey? Why are you still naked? Come, come, put your clothes on first." After saying that, Zhu Zhiquan picked up her clothes, preparing to help her put them on.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuxin held back his hand and said: "Never mind that for now, promise me first that you will get some proper rest during this time!"

"Alright, alright, I promise. Can you put your clothes on now? My precious wife?" Zhu Zhiquan quickly agreed, which finally made Zhao Yuxin's anger subside.

Seeing Zhao Yuxin's anger subside, Zhu Zhiquan helped her put on her clothes and took the opportunity to touch Zhao Yuxin's figure.

Soon, Zhao Yuxin sat in the driver's seat and started pedaling the tricycle. "Ajiu, I remember you could last a long time after using the Boiling Blood talent at the beginning. Why did you overheat yesterday after just a few moves?"

Zhu Zhiquan recalled for a moment and said: "I'm not sure. It's very likely that after you were hit yesterday, I got agitated, which increased the talent's negative effects."

Zhao Yuxin thought for a moment and said: "That makes sense, but you shouldn't use the Boiling Blood talent for a while. I'm worried you won't be able to handle it."

Zhu Zhiquan: "I'll try my best."

Zhao Yuxin pedaled for a while longer, and the system announcement sounded: "Congratulations to all players for successfully surviving until today, but what disappoints this system is that there are still dozens of people who haven't passed through the Sandstorm Corridor!

But it doesn't matter, your task for today is to survive anyway! Good luck." After saying that, the two felt the temperature suddenly rise significantly; even the small fan was almost smoking.

After watering and fertilizing the potted plants, Zhu Zhiquan opened the World Channel, intending to check the players' information first.

Xiagu Houwang: "Help— the Oasis is on fire! Someone save us!!!"

Duyan Chuanzhang: "Who can save you at a time like this? You'd better pray for yourselves."

Xiao Li Who Doesn't Want to Be a Passerby: "We know we were wrong, is there really no one who can help us?"

Pa Si De Xiao Mao: "Stop howling, the bridge is already starting to burn, we might as well just wait for death."

Xiao Li Who Doesn't Want to Be a Passerby: "How can that be! Isn't that bridge in the middle of a Sandstorm! How could it catch fire so quickly!"

…………………

"Ajiu, remember to list some more ice cream; the materials are right next to the ice cream machine." Zhao Yuxin reminded him.

Zhu Zhiquan put the materials into the ice cream machine and listed most of the ice cream, leaving only one for Zhao Yuxin.

After driving on the Desert Highway for an unknown amount of time, the road began to show cracks. Even lying in the carriage, Zhu Zhiquan could feel his physical strength being drained.

"Ajiu, there's a Material Box ahead. Just stay in the car and don't move." Zhao Yuxin jumped out of the car, put on the Fish Scale Armor she had just crafted, and walked up to a White Supply Box.

"Azhao, let me open it. You've been driving for so long, your stamina is drained. Look, the cacti by the road have withered," Zhu Zhiquan said, pointing at the cacti by the road.

"No!" Zhao Yuxin said firmly, "Your body hasn't recovered yet. Besides, I'm no longer the rookie who arrived in the game on the first day. If there's any danger when opening the Material Box, I can handle it myself! No need for you to step in!"

Seeing her determined gaze, he had no choice but to return to the carriage. However, for the sake of safety, Zhu Zhiquan still put on his gear, ready to support Zhao Yuxin.

Fortunately, the Material Box only contained a hedgehog and nine bottles of water, with no danger at all. Zhao Yuxin moved the nine bottles of water and the butchered hedgehog meat into the carriage, her proud expression seemingly showing off how capable she was.

Zhu Zhiquan just gently stroked her head, then took out a bottle of water and poured it onto the tricycle's canopy.

"Ajiu, what are you doing?" Zhao Yuxin asked.

"Cooling down the canopy," Zhu Zhiquan replied. "Also, are you still going to drive in a bit? If not, come sit with me in the carriage. Our goal is to survive anyway, no need to pedal the tricycle for dear life."

"That's true." Zhao Yuxin made another ice cream and opened the World Channel. As soon as she entered, she saw Luo Jinrui posting information about his brother's Divination.

Gege De Xiao Siji: "Today's Divination: First, please keep moving continuously (especially for players who are short on water), because the probability of getting cooling items from Material Boxes is higher today;

Second, there is no night today, and the temperature will reach about one hundred degrees at its peak, so please pay attention to rotating shifts for rest;

Third, today's crises, besides high temperatures, include but are not limited to beast attacks (mainly fire-type), ground subsidence, earth cracking, falling fire, etc.

If you have any questions, please private message me, and I will relay them for my brother. Good luck to everyone!"

Huahua: "Many thanks to the big shot for posting the Divination information."

A Jiuba Zhougong: "Big shot, can you help me see if I still have a chance to survive? Please, big shot, reveal the heavenly secrets and help me get through this crisis~ I'm willing to give you all my supplies! Please, I beg you~"

Xiagu Houwang: "That's right, please reveal the heavenly secrets~"

………………

Zhao Yuxin closed the World Channel and sighed, "Ajiu, I just saw the information Luo Jinrui posted on the World Channel. Should we continue moving forward?"

Zhu Zhiquan opened the panel and also read the Divination information posted by Luo Jinrui. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Let's go. This might reduce our need for water." Having said that, he was about to get up and enter the driver's seat.

Zhao Yuxin held him down and said: "I'll drive, you just stay here."

Zhu Zhiquan knew he couldn't win against her, so he had no choice but to let her drive.

Zhao Yuxin had just prepared to start when she saw an old acquaintance. She immediately waved and said: "Hello, Old Luo~ How are you two doing?"

At this time, the Luo Family Brothers' tricycle had changed drastically. Both the driver's seat and the carriage were protected by covers, and there were steel forks extending outward in all directions.

Seeing Zhao Yuxin stop the car, Luo Jinrui got out with a middle-aged man. Zhao Yuxin didn't recognize him for a moment, "You... you are Luo Jincheng! How did you become like this!"
