Looking at her younger sister as she said this, Lin Wanwan could tell that the girl felt a bit embarrassed herself. However, Lin Wanwan didn’t care at all.
She had never let her sister go hungry in the normal world, and now, in this road survival world, she certainly wouldn’t let her go hungry either.
Besides, the two sisters weren’t short on supplies at the moment, so if she was hungry, she should just eat.
“Duoduo, we’re not lacking food. If you’re hungry, just eat whatever you want. Feel free to eat anything in the back of the car,” Lin Wanwan waved her hand, pointing to the food in the rear compartment.
“I know, Sister, but since we’ve just arrived in this road survival world, I think it’s better to be a bit frugal,” Lin Duoduo said obediently.
“Duoduo, you’re wrong. You don’t know how important your sensing ability is to the two of us.” Lin Wanwan began to analyze it for her.
“My sensing ability is very important?” Lin Duoduo asked back.
“Of course, your ability is really important. Take the chest we opened earlier, for example. If you hadn’t sensed the danger inside, and if we had opened that chest inside the car, even if I could easily kill that rat, wouldn’t it have caused chaos inside our cabin?”
“Or take the first time I let you make a choice. You chose the Tier-2 treasure chest. Although the Tier-3 treasure chest gave us this auto-drive function, this auto-drive feature is way too powerful. Even if we tried to trade it to others, they couldn’t afford it, nor would I trade with them.”
“Think about it: with this auto-drive feature, don’t we avoid having to drive all the time? How much time and energy does that save us? If others got this function too, it might pose a threat to us in the future.”
“My cute little sister, the firewood stove you chose from that Tier-2 treasure chest happens to be extremely useful for the current extreme cold disaster. We can immediately use it to trade for a massive amount of supplies.”
“So, your sensing ability is truly crucial, do you understand? You’re not eating because you’re greedy; you feel hungry because you used your sensing ability. Sister, for us to survive better in the future, whenever you feel hungry, just eat. Never starve yourself. I’m counting on your sensing ability to help me avoid danger.”
Lin Wanwan said a whole lot in one breath.
Listening to her sister’s words, Lin Duoduo’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Was she really that important? Was she truly not a burden to her sister?
“Sister, is what you said true? You’re not allowed to lie to me.”
“I’m definitely telling the truth. How could I lie to you?” Lin Wanwan nodded earnestly and said with certainty.
“Hmph, you even lied to steal my New Year’s lucky money this year!” Lin Duoduo exposed her sister’s past without hesitation.
“Ah, how can you call that lying? That was Sister keeping it safe for you. You’re still young and don’t know how to spend money. When you grow up, I’ll give it back to you.” Saying this, Lin Wanwan’s face didn’t blush, nor did her heart skip a beat.
“Hmph,” Lin Duoduo snorted with disdain.
*Brat, really not cute at all.*
Lin Wanwan wanted to bite Lin Duoduo to death. She had been building a moment of deep sisterly affection, and the girl completely ruined the atmosphere.
However, after this conversation, Lin Duoduo knew that she was useful to her sister.
Being useful was enough.
She reached out, grabbed the remaining two beef ribs, and stuffed them fiercely into her mouth.
Seeing Lin Duoduo start eating, Lin Wanwan smiled.
Was the sensing ability important to Lin Wanwan?
It was.
But it wasn’t *that* crucial, especially at this stage.
Right now, it was only the first disaster, and the danger wouldn’t be too overwhelming. With Lin Wanwan’s alertness and combat prowess, even without any skills, she could easily cope with it.
However, Lin Wanwan knew that an apocalyptic survival world like this could drive people insane—especially a child like Lin Duoduo who carried a heavy heart.
If she were allowed to think she contributed nothing to the survival of the sisters and might even be a burden to Lin Wanwan, it was hard to say what she might do when the time came.
Just as Lin Wanwan was willing to die for Duoduo at any moment.
Having depended on each other for so many years, the two sisters understood each other all too well.
Why did Lin Duoduo disappear in her previous life in this road survival world? Lin Wanwan had been pondering this question before going to sleep yesterday.
Had she paid too little attention to her sister’s psychological state? Was she really abducted back then?
Therefore, after her rebirth, Lin Wanwan made every effort to involve her sister in all the work.
Only in this way would she have a sense of participation and know that her existence was not a hindrance and would not drag her sister down.
Sigh, her life was truly too difficult.
After comforting Lin Duoduo, Lin Wanwan turned her gaze back to the light screen.
The bright red words at the top of the screen displayed: 62118/100000.
Had over 1,000 more people died? Human life was truly fragile.
Lin Wanwan shook her head and focused her attention on the group chat.
“Ah, I’m freezing to death! I got out of the car just now to pick up a chest, and as a result, my feet almost froze off on the way.”
“You actually dared to get out of the car in weather this cold? You’re incredible.”
“I had no choice. I felt so cold earlier that I turned on the air conditioner, but this crappy car’s A/C consumes way too much fuel. I’m almost out of gasoline.”
“Buying cold-weather gear! DM me if you have any.”
“Do any big brothers or sisters have an unwanted quilt or down jacket? Please give me one, I’m freezing to death!”
“Are you all driving cars? Why am I the only one pedaling a tricycle? But truth be told, pedaling a tricycle keeps you from feeling cold.”
“You’re pedaling a tricycle? Did you get any gasoline from the treasure chest you opened? If you do, you can trade with me.”
“I do! I got a full 20 liters. What do you have to trade?”
“Send me a DM.”
“Okay.”
Seeing the person riding the tricycle say he had opened a canister of gasoline, Lin Wanwan remembered his name.
She wasn’t short on gasoline for the time being, but no car owner would ever complain about having too much fuel, especially in a road survival world like this.
Lin Wanwan continued browsing through the group chat content.
Yet no matter how much she looked, it was always the same few hundred people sending messages back and forth.
There were still over 60,000 living people in the entire area; why did the rest never speak up?
Were they hidden observers like herself, or were they not lacking supplies, or perhaps a combination of both?
“Brothers, run! Whatever you do, don’t let the monster behind catch up to you! Otherwise, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life…”
This sentence suddenly appeared on the scrolling screen.
The avatar of the person who sent the message darkened rapidly.
Lin Wanwan stared at that message, silent for a long time.
Did this person send this message right before dying?
Since you went through the trouble of sending a message, couldn’t you have typed a few more words? Why didn’t you tell others what you discovered?
In truth, Lin Wanwan didn’t know what species of Dreadbeast was chasing the cars from behind either. However, piecing together the bits and pieces of information from the group chat in her previous life, the Dreadbeast pursuing them from behind shouldn’t be a physical entity.
If it were a physical Dreadbeast, Lin Wanwan would still have the inclination to fight it. But against a non-physical Dreadbeast, with her current equipment, the only option was to run.
At that moment, a private message suddenly popped up.
“Help me!”
