“Big sister, I’m hungry.”
A tender child’s voice echoed in Lin Wanwan’s ears.
It caught her completely off guard, still immersed in the shadow of death as she was.
Hadn’t her younger sister, Lin Duoduo, been kidnapped three days ago? She had searched everywhere for her, but could never find a trace.
Today, someone said they saw her deep inside a monster’s lair. She had rushed over with everything she had, desperately killing many monsters, yet still found no sign of her. In the depths of the monster lair, all she found was her small, blood-stained shoe.
In that brief moment of daze while staring at the shoe, a monster leader ended her life.
So, was she currently in hell or in heaven?
Whether it was hell or heaven, as long as her sister was by her side, it didn’t matter.
“Big sister, what’s wrong with you? Say something, don’t scare me.”
Seeing that her sister wasn’t responding, Lin Duoduo’s voice took on a whimpering tone.
“Big sister, where is this place? I want to go home.”
Listening to her sister’s voice, Lin Wanwan felt her heart ache terribly.
Four years ago, their parents passed away together in a car accident, and the entire burden of life fell onto eighteen-year-old Lin Wanwan. Back then, her sister was only a little over three years old.
Having grown up pampered by her parents since childhood, Lin Wanwan felt as if her sky had collapsed.
She had even thought about whether to leave with her parents, but looking at the chubby Lin Duoduo, she simply couldn’t bring herself to abandon her. For the sake of this little dumpling, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
If she didn’t know how to cook, she learned from short videos. If she didn’t know how to repair electrical appliances, she figured it out step by step using instruction manuals—all for her sister.
It could be said that Duoduo was her entire life.
Now, she was actually crying. Who dared to make her cry? Even in hell, her precious little sister was not allowed to cry.
She struggled to turn her somewhat stiff neck, looking in the direction of the voice.
Huh?
Her sister was actually sitting in the passenger seat completely intact and unharmed. What’s more, she was wearing the exact same clothes as when they first transmigrated into this world of Highway Survival.
Yes, this world was no longer the one where their parents had passed away.
Half a month ago, an unknown entity suddenly descended upon Earth, and all humans were teleported into this unfamiliar world of Highway Survival.
Every adult was allocated a starting vehicle at the beginning, while minors were randomly assigned to their relatives’ sides.
The luck of the two sisters was average; they received an eighth-hand minivan.
Except for the fact that it could move, this beat-up car was nothing short of trash.
The seats were so worn out that the sponge stuffing was exposed, the floor was sticky, the steering wheel was extremely greasy, and the two back rows of seats were nowhere to be found, completely empty. The car windows couldn’t be pulled up, and a strange odor mixing engine oil and cigarette smoke rushed into her nose.
Even though the car was broken to this extent, Lin Wanwan didn’t care at all. Having relied on each other with her sister for so many years, as long as Duoduo was by her side, that was all that mattered.
Lin Duoduo had disliked it at first too, but for some unknown reason, she later accepted it.
The two sisters spent over ten days together, opening crates and modifying the vehicle, until Lin Wanwan went out on a mission, and Duoduo was taken away.
Seeing Lin Duoduo sitting safely in the passenger seat now, Lin Wanwan was completely stunned.
Was Highway Survival in hell too?
Before she could figure out the situation, Lin Duoduo saw her sister turn her head. She quickly climbed over from the passenger seat and wrapped her arms around Lin Wanwan’s neck in a tight hug.
Feeling Duoduo’s body temperature, Lin Wanwan felt it was incredibly surreal. She raised her hand and pinched her thigh hard.
“Ah.”
Pain. It hurt terribly.
It was good to feel pain; that meant she wasn’t in a dream.
Her sister was real, she was real—so was the scene in front of her real as well?
She and her sister had been reborn back to half a month ago, when they had just transmigrated over.
Coaxing Duoduo, she looked back at the beat-up car in front of her.
Broken.
It was still so broken, broken beyond description.
Yet looking at the beat-up car in front of her, especially smelling that sickening odor, Lin Wanwan actually felt like crying.
She and her sister had truly returned.
Lin Wanwan cupped Duoduo’s small face and gave it a firm kiss.
At this moment, Duoduo was bewildered.
Could it be that her big sister couldn’t accept this beat-up car, and the shock had driven her crazy?
Otherwise, why was she crying one moment and smiling the next, even slapping herself?
Grown-ups were really strange.
She reached out her soft, white little hands and gently wiped away Lin Wanwan’s tears.
“Big sister, don’t be afraid. Duoduo is the bravest. Duoduo will protect you.”
Hearing her sister’s words, Lin Wanwan nodded.
“Okay, Duoduo will protect big sister from now on.”
Lin Duoduo nodded vigorously.
“Big sister, I’ll protect you in the future, but right now, can you find something for Duoduo to eat first? My tummy is hungry.”
Hearing Duoduo say she wanted food, Lin Wanwan was just about to start the car to search for treasure crates when the unknown entity suddenly spoke.
“Welcome to the Global Highway Survival World.”
“The Earth that belonged to you has disappeared. This is a grand escape for humanity.”
“Regardless of whether you were Elon Musk or a corporate slave on Earth in the past, now that you have arrived in this world, you all share the same starting point: one vehicle, one life.”
“Vehicles are assigned randomly—they could be taxis, garbage trucks, tricycles, or even other bizarre existences. To accommodate those without a driver’s license, driving knowledge will be automatically loaded into your minds.”
“The highway beneath your feet has no end. Remember, never look back. Horrifying existences are pursuing you from behind. The unknown entity moves at a fixed speed, devouring all living things.”
“Along this journey, you will encounter various supplies and treasure crates. Make sure to collect them. Upgrading your vehicle and surviving on this highway is the only thing you need to do.”
Its voice sounded in the heart of every adult.
Hearing Its voice again, Lin Wanwan didn’t hesitate for a moment. After briefly comforting Duoduo, she placed her in the passenger seat and helped her fasten the seatbelt.
Once Duoduo was settled, Lin Wanwan was just about to reach out and touch the extra screen on the car’s center console.
Suddenly, a voice rang out in her mind, distinct from Its voice.
【Ding! The Multiplier Wheel System has been successfully bound.】
What was this?
There was no such thing in her past life!
However, given that the Highway Survival world itself now existed, having a system wasn’t a big deal either.
【The host may choose any treasure crate to open. The system will help the host randomly obtain a supply multiplier ranging from 1 to 100 times, limited to once per day.】
100 times?
Upon hearing the number “100 times,” Lin Wanwan’s eyes instantly lit up. She even subconsciously ignored the “1 time” option. Surely she wouldn’t be unlucky enough to get just one time, right?
In her past life, she and Duoduo were forced to go out searching for supplies due to a shortage, which was how the incident happened.
In this life, if she had an abundance of supplies, Duoduo would never face such danger again.
She might even have the chance to find the person who abducted Duoduo in her past life and get her revenge.
Duoduo, in this life, your big sister will never let you get hurt again. Even if death comes, I will die before you.
