Road Survival, I Have a Hint System!

There is a principle called Murphy’s Law, which simply put means that the more you wish something won’t happen, the more likely it is to occur.

Actually, this principle can be applied in reverse as well.

Now, Zhang Tuohai wanted to find a beast to test his gun on.

However, those beasts disappeared at the same time.

Zhang Tuohai circled around the car with the gun three times and found not a single hair.

"How disappointing."

After searching for a while and finding no beasts, Zhang Tuohai had no choice but to return to the car.

At this moment, the regional chat began discussing whether there would be any beasts attacking tonight.

“What if there really are beasts? A window on my car has already been smashed; if beasts come again tonight, I’m afraid I’ll really be done for.”

“Me too. The car door is dented. If I hadn’t woken up in time, I might have been dragged out by now.”

“Does anyone have weapons? Can you sell me some? Even a knife would do.”

Seeing these messages in the regional chat, Zhang Tuohai had an idea.

He now had a gun, so melee weapons like spears were becoming obsolete.

Instead of letting these things take up space, it would be better to sell them and make some money.

Previously, when he only had a crossbow and hunting spears, these items naturally couldn’t be sold.

But now, with firearms in hand, there was a clear disparity in equipment, so it was no longer an issue.

As for whether others hunting might impact Zhang Tuohai’s market, that was purely overthinking.

Firstly, it’s not easy to hunt ferocious beasts.

Even if they do hunt one, how many people will actually put it up for sale? Even if they do sell it, there are over two thousand people in the regional chat; how much can each person get? It wouldn’t affect the overall situation.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Zhang Tuohai put ten hunting spears up for sale in the trading channel.

“A total of ten spears, each costing 30 units of resources. Bid directly if interested.”

“Weapons? There are really weapons?”

“30 units of resources? I only have 20 left. Who’s willing to lend me 10 units? I’ll pay you back tomorrow!”

“Haha, finally got a weapon. I’m going to hunt beasts tonight and eat some meat too!”

“Yes, yes, I’m not sleeping tonight. Let’s see when the beasts will come. Does anyone have a barbecue grill? I want to have a barbecue too!”

Looking at the noisy messages in the regional chat, Zhang Tuohai couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

These people are really fearless and naive, thinking that having a spear is enough to hunt fierce beasts?

He had only managed to kill a lone wolf with the help of the system, a crossbow, a powerful flashlight, and other equipment.

These untrained people think they can challenge beasts with a spear?

They might end up becoming dinner.

Zhang Tuohai secretly noted down the names of these people, wondering how many would end up on the list of casualties tonight.

After a while, seeing that there was nothing more to gain, he lay down on the seat and went to sleep.

One good thing about this world is that he can be sure of his sleep every day.

As soon as it gets dark, it’s time to sleep, and nothing else can be done.

Perhaps due to dinner, Zhang Tuohai had a very pleasant dream.

He dreamed he was on a luxurious yacht surrounded by simply dressed women, immersed in the rolling waves. The yacht rocked occasionally with the waves, and it was incredibly enjoyable.

Rocking, rocking, Zhang Tuohai seemed to hear an electronic synthesized voice repeatedly.

[Danger detected! Danger detected!]

“Danger detected?!”

Zhang Tuohai woke up with a start. He glanced at his watch; it was 3 AM.

What frightened him even more was that the car was indeed shaking.

“What the hell is going on?”

Panicked, Zhang Tuohai quickly turned on the flashlight and shone it out of the car window.

To his horror, a large black round face was pressed against the window, curiously peering inside.

Their eyes met.

The large face was startled by the sudden strong light, letting out a cry and stumbling backward, sitting on the ground.

Zhang Tuohai then saw the true identity of the large round face. It was a black bear.

The second most troublesome king of the mountain forest.

If you were to rank the fierce beasts in the forest, many might think the tiger is the king of beasts.

Actually, the tiger is only the third most dangerous in the forest.

The top rank actually goes to the wild boar.

Wild boars rank so high because they like to scratch themselves on trees.

After rolling in the sand and gravel by the riverbank, they cover themselves with a thick layer of grit and stones.

These stones act as armor, making them nearly impervious.

Even a regular bird gun can’t penetrate them.

Before powerful hunting rifles, hunting wild boars relied on traps.

The second most dangerous is the black bear.

Many people say black bears are slow, can’t climb trees, and don’t eat carrion. They claim lying still if encountered will work.

Such talk is laughable. If you really believe that, you’re the first to die when encountering a black bear.

Black bears are slow only compared to the swift wolves and moose.

But they can run at 50 miles per hour, twice as fast as a human.

Are you sure you want to race with it? Moreover, black bears can climb trees.

They just don’t unless forced to by danger.

As for not eating carrion, that’s a joke.

They just don’t eat decayed meat.

Afraid of getting sick.

The best way to handle a black bear encounter is to give it the middle finger, keep your eyes on it, and shout with all your strength.

This will allow you to walk away with some dignity.

Seeing it was a black bear outside, Zhang Tuohai’s mind was buzzing.

Although his car had been modified and was made of sturdy steel frames, much stronger than ordinary cars.

But whether it could withstand a black bear was another question.

Even if the steel frame could hold up, what about the windows?

Car windows are not bulletproof.

A single swipe from a black bear could shatter them.

Seeing it was a black bear, Zhang Tuohai didn’t hesitate, started the car, and stepped on the gas to drive away.

The black bear, seeing Zhang Tuohai driving off, let out a roar and began to chase after him.

Black bears are quite intelligent animals.

Intelligent animals share a common trait: they hold grudges.

Although Zhang Tuohai’s flashlight didn’t cause actual harm, it did blind the bear’s eyes a bit.

This undoubtedly provoked the black bear’s anger. It took off, running after Zhang Tuohai.

Seeing the bear pursuing relentlessly, Zhang Tuohai frowned.

If it were an ordinary black bear, it might give up once it couldn’t catch up.

But this black bear was clearly sent by the game system.

Moreover, this bear had been chasing him for an hour without showing any signs of giving up, which was a bit worrying.

Who knew how strong this bear’s endurance was or if it would keep chasing?

Although Zhang Tuohai still had fuel reserves, he definitely couldn’t waste it on this bear.

He had to take down this bear!

Zhang Tuohai resolved firmly in his mind.
