“Sister!”
Lin Duoduo, who had been leaning against the car window watching the treasure chest the whole time, shouted out loud.
Seeing a dark shadow coming straight at her from inside the treasure chest, Lin Wanwan even had the time to wave her hand at her younger sister, signaling her not to worry.
In that instant, the two sisters could also clearly see that this dark shadow was actually an enlarged cockroach.
Some people said that cockroaches in GD Province were huge, with every single one measuring four or five centimeters long, but compared to the cockroach in front of them, those cockroaches wouldn’t even count as grandchildren.
This cockroach was at least forty centimeters long and pitch-black all over. Its two long antennae were constantly quivering.
Vibrating its wings, its menacing mouthparts bit straight toward Lin Wanwan.
If it were the first time she transmigrated to this world and encountered a terror beast cockroach, Lin Wanwan would have screamed in fear even if she had a weapon in hand.
A woman’s fear of cockroaches came from deep within—no matter how old a woman was, none of them liked it.
However, Lin Wanwan had died once before, so her psychological resilience was already much improved. She had also fought against many types of terror beasts, so she felt completely nothing toward a mere Level 1 exotic beast.
Even though she hadn’t mastered those combat skills from her past life right now, dealing with a Level 1 terror beast was still an easy matter.
In the highway survival world, the levels of terror beasts were divided into five grades, just like the treasure chests—Level 1 being the lowest and Level 5 the highest. It was said that above Level 5 there were legendary ones, but Lin Wanwan had never seen them.
A Level 1 treasure chest could only produce a Level 1 terror beast. Higher-level treasure chests could yield a Level 1 terror beast or even a Level 5 terror beast, which was completely random.
So it wasn’t that Lin Wanwan lacked brains; she had confidence in herself.
The moment she saw the cockroach pounce over, just as it was about to bite her, Lin Wanwan stepped slightly to the side to dodge the cockroach’s ferocious mouthparts.
Then, driving the blade in her right hand from bottom to top, she thrust it fiercely into the cockroach’s neck, giving it a gentle drag to slit the cockroach’s neck wide open.
Before the cockroach could even drop to the ground completely, she leaped two meters away in a single bound.
The cockroach let out a whimper before death, then fell heavily beside the van.
From the time the cockroach sprang out of the treasure chest to Lin Wanwan slaying it with her own hand, it took merely three brief seconds.
Before Lin Duoduo’s shout could fully escape her throat, she saw her sister dashingly slice open the cockroach’s neck and jump two meters away.
Not only was she uninjured, but not even a drop of the white blood left behind before the cockroach died had gotten on her body.
Was this still her sister?
Since when did she have such incredible skills? And what was most terrifying was that facing such a disgusting cockroach, she actually killed it in a single strike.
Lin Wanwan stood there striking a pose with her blade, but after waiting for nearly a minute without Lin Duoduo making a sound, she felt quite bored.
This wretched kid was not cute at all anymore—how come she didn’t know how to cheer for her sister?
Nonsensically shaking her head, she flicked the white blood off the blade body and casually wiped the blade clean on the cogon grass by the roadside.
Only then did she come to the side of the van and open the door.
“Snap out of it.”
Lin Wanwan reached out her hand and waved it in front of Lin Duoduo’s face.
“Ah.”
Seeing her sister standing before her, Lin Duoduo reached out her little hands and groped all over her body.
Only after confirming that Lin Wanwan truly had no wounds on her body did she let out a long sigh of relief.
“Lin Wanwan, how many things are you hiding from me after all? Why are you so good at fighting?”
Her tiny face was written with disbelief.
Hearing her sister call her by her full name, Lin Wanwan knew she was truly angry.
Reaching out her hand, she patted Lin Duoduo’s head.
“Duoduo, we’re together every single day. Do you think there’s anything I could hide from you?”
Lin Duoduo thought about it, nodded her head, but then shook her head again.
“No, when I went to kindergarten, I wasn’t home all day. Did you secretly practice some divine martial arts back then?”
Hearing Lin Duoduo’s guess, Lin Wanwan gave a series of bitter smiles.
If she had known beforehand that she would come to a highway survival world, she definitely would have practiced all kinds of combat skills like crazy, but who could have known that such a thing would happen?
“Duoduo, stop overthinking. Let’s open the chest first, okay?”
Seeing that Lin Wanwan didn’t want to talk about it, Lin Duoduo had no choice either.
“Is there no danger now? Can I come down?”
Lin Duoduo still remembered her agreement with her sister—that getting out of the car required asking her sister’s permission—so she asked Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan nodded.
“You can come down, but if you encounter danger, you must return to the car as fast as possible. Got it?”
“Got it, Sister.”
Lin Wanwan pulled open the door and helped Lin Duoduo down.
By now, that giant cockroach had turned into specks of light, slowly dissipating into the air, and even the white blood had vanished without a trace.
A light orb was left behind on the ground.
“Sister, I feel like there’s good stuff inside this light orb. Can I go over and open it this time?”
“Is there no danger?” Lin Wanwan asked.
“Nope.”
“Alright then, go ahead and open it.”
“Mm, thank you, Sister.”
Having secured Lin Wanwan’s permission, Lin Duoduo reached out and placed her hand on the light orb.
With a bang, the light orb shattered, and a blueprint appeared in Lin Duoduo’s hand.
[Congratulations, you have acquired a Level 1 Sealed Vehicle Compartment. Would you like to install it onto the vehicle immediately?]
Hearing that it was a Level 1 sealed vehicle compartment, Lin Duoduo didn’t have much of a reaction because she had no idea what it was. However, Lin Wanwan’s eyes widened.
A Level 1 compartment, although the lowest grade of vehicle compartment, had decent sealing performance—enough to cope with the extreme cold disaster coming later on.
Although the two sisters’ eighth-hand van was sleepable last night, that was only because the temperature was pleasant.
In truth, their dilapidated car’s compartment had long been leaking wind from every corner.
Today, Lin Wanwan had originally intended to cut some cogon grass to stuff all those gaps, but now that she had obtained a Level 1 compartment, those problems were basically solved.
Lin Wanwan pulled Duoduo over and gave her little face a firm kiss.
Duoduo truly lived up to being her lucky star.
“Please install it onto the vehicle for me.”
Lin Wanwan took the blueprint and spoke softly.
As soon as her voice fell, the blueprint turned into sparkling specks that floated toward the car.
Lin Wanwan looked at the car with an expectant gaze.
Her eighth-hand van was simply too dilapidated. She hoped that after this modification, the compartment could look a bit better—at least not so tattered and worn out.
A few seconds later, the specks of light completely merged into the car, but there was no change whatsoever to the exterior—it remained that same tattered, eighth-hand van.
“Huh? What’s going on? Didn’t it say Level 1 compartment? How come there’s no change at all?”
Lin Duoduo had also heard that voice and was looking forward to changes in the vehicle body, but now there wasn’t a single change.
“Sister, could it be that the exterior didn’t change, but the interior did? Let’s get up and take a look.”
