Chapter 6: Survival Challenges_3

Moreover, vehicles in the Cube Card Metaverse were all fully automatic with autonomous driving, so there was no need for driving skills.

"Skills my ass, Grass."

Straw Man clapped his hands in resignation, laughing heartily.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Ree Shil climbed into the driver's seat, completely at ease, waving for them to relax.

"I never thought you could actually drive."

"Of course, I used to go to the park to practice at least once a month."

Ree Shil began to explore the car, operating it like he had seen in movies.

[Roar, roar, roar, roar!] xN

Boom! Boom! Boom!

By now, seven or eight Zombie Beasts had gathered around the outside of the vehicle.

Fortunately, it was a fire truck; if it were a small car, it might have already been flipped by the beasts' heads.

"Hurry up and drive then! What are you waiting for! Mushroom...wait a minute! You practiced in the park? What kind of car did you practice with?!"

Originally roaring, Mossy Mushroom suddenly halted.

Rumble rumble rumble...

Ree Shil successfully started the vehicle and buckled his seat belt, glancing at it: "Bumper cars."

"Cute Mushroom! What did you say?!"

"Grass! What did you say?!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, sorry for my poor performance!"

Ree Shil looked solemn, stomping down on the accelerator.

"No! I want to get out of the car!!!"

The fire truck sped away, Mossy Mushroom's screams growing more and more distant.

...

In the quiet street, a girl about 12 or 13 years old was cautiously walking.

She carried an empty cloth bag on her back, both hands tightly gripping a water pipe.

She walked along the storefronts for about 50 meters and found a narrow gap between buildings, quickly squeezing in.

Hiding in this relatively safe hiding place, the girl took a wrinkled, rough hand-drawn map from her pocket.

"Just passed Center Garden, going forward is Wonyou Supermarket."

"This time, I must bring back supplies for everyone to see."

The thin-faced girl pursed her lips.

Gurgle gurgle...

Accompanied by the sound of her stomach, hunger struck again.

The girl took out a water bottle and quickly gulped down several mouthfuls, but the hunger persisted.

"Sigh...just a little bit left."

Hesitating for a moment, she fished out a corner of tin foil from her pocket.

She carefully unwrapped the foil, revealing the broken piece of chocolate.

Placing the chocolate in her mouth, she quietly closed her eyes.

It seemed as if the slower she savored it, the more chocolate would remain in her mouth.

With the influx of sugar, her stomach quieted down slightly.

"It's been almost two days since I left, once I get to the market, I must have a proper meal."

When she opened her eyes again, the girl found her motivation.

So she poked her head out of the crevice to check the situation to the left and right.

[Growl...]

As a result, she immediately saw a Zombie Beast in sportswear running towards her on the road.

After being infected, some of these Zombie Beasts would retain some habits and behaviors from their previous lives.

This Zombie Beast seemed to have been infected while running for exercise.

"Don't see me, don't see me, don't see me."

The girl was startled and quickly shrank back, crouching and covering her head.

Ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong...

However, at this moment, she heard a loud honking sound rapidly approaching from a distance.

It seemed faint, but it was accompanied by screams and what sounded like curses and cheers.

"Ambulance? Fire truck? Police car?"

The girl was young and could not tell the difference between the honks.

But regardless of which one it was, none of them should have appeared on today's streets.

Screeching!

Before she could figure it out, she heard the sound of sharp braking.

Bang!

Then, it seemed like the vehicle had hit something.
