Outside the car window, Li Shuang's screams had become so faint they were almost inaudible.

Lin Hui sat in the driver's seat, his knuckles white from gripping the steering wheel, not out of fear, but from an extreme calmness.

Adrenaline still surged through his veins, making his perception of everything around him exceptionally clear.

"At most, five more minutes."

Lin Hui glanced at the rearview mirror at the blurred mass of flesh and the Agile-type Zombie frantically tearing into it.

It was a 1st-Tier Agile-type Mutant, with an incredibly fast feeding speed.

Once it finished with that poor woman, it would likely return to the military helicopter!

The RV now had only 5% durability left, all four tires were punctured, and if the RV couldn't move, he would become the next meal for the zombies.

"I must complete the upgrade before it finishes eating!"

After driving about five kilometers, Lin Hui reached his destination.

He pushed open the car door and jumped out.

The cold wind cut across his face like a knife, but he was oblivious to it.

Right in front of him was the wreckage of the crashed military helicopter, its players long since dragged out and devoured by zombies.

The massive rotor blades were broken, and the fuselage was completely twisted, but in Lin Hui's eyes, this was not scrap metal.

It was the finest steel! A lifeline!

"System, dismantle!"

Lin Hui placed his hand on the cold fuselage and spoke softly.

[Detecting...]

[Vehicle player deceased, dismantling possible!]

[Dismantling target: Military Helicopter.]

[Warning: Target is large, estimated dismantling time is 3 minutes.]

"Three minutes?"

Lin Hui glanced back; the zombie hadn't appeared yet.

"Faster! Hurry up!"

Lin Hui stared intently at the slowly progressing blue progress bar, his heart pounding in his chest as if it would break his ribs.

At this moment, every second stretched into infinity.

Finally.

[Ding! Dismantling complete!]

[Acquired materials list:]

[1. Armor-Piercing Steel x 60 units]

[2. Rubber x 2 units]

[3. Fire Control Chip x 1 (Rare!)]

[4. Precision Electronic Components x 20 sets.]

Success!

Besides the special steel and rubber, Lin Hui also obtained a chip and precision electronic components.

Without hesitation, he stored the fire control chip and electronic components, then placed the armor-piercing steel and rubber into the LV2 upgrade blueprint, and rushed back to the RV.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Lin Hui took out the RV upgrade blueprint.

Looking at the materials in his backpack, Lin Hui whispered in his heart.

"RV upgrade! Lv.2!"

[Detected vehicle upgrade blueprint (Lv.1 → Lv.2)]

[Material check:]

[Steel: 50 units (Satisfied!)]

[Rubber: 10 units (Satisfied!)]

[System determination: System will automatically use higher-grade steel, steel material quality is extremely high! Evolution direction deviation!]

[Original direction: Reinforced Iron Type.]

[Corrected direction: Heavy Assault Type.]

[Consume one vehicle upgrade blueprint (Lv.1 → Lv.2), start evolution?]

"Evolve!!"

Boom—!!!

A blinding dark golden light instantly engulfed the entire dilapidated RV.

This wasn't a simple repair.

This was a remolding!

In Lin Hui's eyes, the special steel plates dismantled from the helicopter seemed to come alive, automatically covering the RV's previously fragile composite shell.

Creak—crack—

With the crisp sound of metal interlocking, the originally rounded civilian C-type RV began to take on a more angular shape.

The thin sheet metal was torn away, replaced by a two-centimeter-thick matte black armor plate!

At the bumper, two thick alloy steel beams extended out, converging at the front into a menacing triangular ram, even adorned with barbs, glinting with a cold light.

That was the Alloy Spike Ram, designed to smash through any obstacle!

And at the position of the four hubs, sharp rotating steel spikes slowly emerged, specifically designed to shred the leg bones of zombies approaching the vehicle—the Hub Meat Grinder Spike!

Buzz—!

The light dissipated.

A black behemoth, exuding the aesthetics of violence and a steel aura, crouched on the Zombie Wasteland.

It was no longer the civilian RV that could fall apart at any moment.

It was a sturdy mobile war machine!

[Congratulations! RV evolution successful!]

Vehicle panel.

[Vehicle: RV]

[Level: Lv.2]

[Physical Defense: 100 (20→100)] (Aviation Steel Bonus! Three times the normal Lv.2!)

……

[Talent triggered! Extracting Lv.2 Golden Entry...]

Finally, it's here!

Lin Hui held his breath, watching the crazily spinning golden wheel on his retina.

This was his greatest reliance in this apocalypse!

One golden entry per level!

The wheel slowly turned and finally stopped.

A card emitting brilliant golden light appeared in the void.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].

[Entry Name: Never Worn]

[Quality: Golden Legend]

[Type: Rule-based]

[Attribute: Can be assigned to any non-living component, its physical structure will solidify, immune to all forms of physical wear, aging, and destruction.]

"Never Worn..."

Lin Hui looked at these four words, his lips curling into a wild grin.

If [Infinite Fuel] gave him infinite power.

Then [Never Worn] gave him infinite endurance!

On these roads littered with debris, nails, and glass shards, what breaks the easiest?

Not the car body.

The tires!

As soon as a tire blows, no matter how high your defense, you're a sitting duck.

"Assign to target—all tires!"

With a thought, Lin Hui saw a golden light instantly merge into the four wide all-terrain off-road tires.

The surface of the tires, originally with a normal rubber texture, suddenly shimmered with a strange glow, as if coated with an indestructible film.

[Modification complete!]

[Acquired component: Indestructible Puncture-proof Tire (Golden · Unique)]

[Feature 1: Absolute Physical Defense. Nails can't pierce, bullets can't penetrate, fire can't melt.]

[Feature 2: Constant Traction. Maintains 100% traction on any terrain (ice, snow, quagmire).]

"Roar—!!!"

At that moment, a roar filled with violence and hunger abruptly interrupted Lin Hui's joy.

He turned his head.

The Agile-type Zombie was charging towards him, its mouth full of flesh, looking ferocious.

Its murky eyes were locked onto Lin Hui inside the RV, its body slightly crouched, like a leopard ready to pounce.

"Full?"

Lin Hui looked at it, his tone icy.

"Now that you're full, it's time to hit the road."

Whoosh!

The zombie moved!

Its speed was astonishing, crossing a dozen meters in the blink of an eye, its sharp claws aiming straight for the driver's seat!

If it were the old Lin Hui, he would have had to flee in panic.

But now?

Screech—!!!

The grating sound of metal friction echoed.

The claw, capable of tearing through ordinary sheet metal, struck the black armored door of the Lv.2 RV.

Sparks flew!

But when the claw slid off, it left only a shallow white mark on the black paint!

Not even a scratch!

"This is what a defense rating of 100 is worth."
