The original fuel consumption was 5.4L, now it has turned into 23L.

Such high fuel consumption is truly excessive.

They now have a few thousand liters of gasoline left, which is definitely not enough to reach the final destination.

"I just checked at the supply station, there are gas stations ahead, similar to the one we found before. Once we reach this gas station, we can find gasoline."

Zhou Yingting immediately said upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingyun relaxed; if that's the case, then there shouldn't be any problems.

He knew about gas stations, especially since Zhou Yingting previously went there with Lin Wenjue and found six thousand liters of gasoline.

As long as they can find another gas station, they won't have to worry about gasoline or fuel consumption.

As the car moved forward, Zhou Yingting rested to regain his strength, when suddenly the glass in front of him slightly brightened, followed by the sensation of some small light spots appearing ahead.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yingting instinctively stood up.

"Plasma...."

Zhou Yingting's gaze focused on the plasma ahead, but he wasn't surprised.

Previously, he had guessed that they might encounter plasma erosion, and he also tested the Wali People's entries.

The characteristics of the Wali People seem to be associated with plasma.

Since plasma appeared, the Wali People's entries could likely be used.

And after testing, it turned out they could indeed be used.

After such testing, he had already confirmed the encounter with plasma erosion.

The surrounding car doors were tightly shut, protected by ceramic tiles, and there were no problems while driving.

When plasma hit the tiles, it slid off slowly.

It looked like a smooth glass surface, preventing the plasma from adhering.

Initially, plasma seemed sparse, but as the car drove forward, the light spots became denser.

"What is plasma?"

Lin Wenjue, who was driving, asked out of curiosity.

Seeing Zhou Yingting and Song Qingyun's expressions, they seemed quite wary of this. Why?

"Something similar to radiation, when touched, it reduces one's life quota."

Zhou Yingting explained after hearing this, then looked at the map, his expression instantly becoming grim.

"We should be fine with the ceramic tile protection, right?"

Lin Wenjue, noticing the car entries, felt relieved that they would be safe with these tiles. But seeing Zhou Yingting's expression made him rather uneasy.

Could it be that plasma could still invade?

"There could be an issue, the gas station is just a bit ahead, and after we arrive, we need to get out to collect gasoline."

Zhou Yingting's words caused Song Qingyun's and Lin Wenjue's faces to change.

"Then when we get out, what's the speed of the life quota deduction?"

Lin Wenjue thought for a moment and asked worriedly.

"It depends on the plasma density; the denser it is, the faster the deduction. From prior experience, generally one year of life quota for staying outside for an hour isn't a major issue."

"If that's the case, then that's good."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wenjue breathed a sigh of relief.

He still had a lot of life quota, and losing a year or two didn't really bother him.

Thinking of this, he patted his chest and said, "Let me handle the gasoline collection!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting didn't refuse and instead nodded, "My entry's negative effect would cause more damage when facing plasma erosion, so in this situation, I can't leave the car."

"No worries, I haven't contributed much on this journey, let me handle this small task."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting nodded, then took over the car and drove towards the gas station.

The gas station was still in a rather remote place, but this time, it wasn't behind a dune or such; it could be found by taking a turn at a fork onto a small road that leads back.

Once the car smoothly reached the gas station, Lin Wenjue immediately jumped out to search.

Song Qingyun did not have much life quota left, so gasoline collection was entirely handed over to Lin Wenjue.

Lin Wenjue spent less than an hour collecting six thousand five hundred liters of gasoline and loaded them into the car.

Once Lin Wenjue confirmed the gasoline was loaded, Zhou Yingting turned the car around and continued heading towards the destination.

Up next, after passing another gas station, they could begin the final sprint to the endpoint.

.....

"Someone in the back actually robbed the supply station, who's such a fierce person?"

The eighth-ranked team glanced at the chat channel beside them, couldn't help but frown and commented.

Robbing a supply station is something someone actually pulled off, aren't they afraid of being unable to overcome the station's people and being directly eliminated?

"It seems to be that guy with the Commander tag before, he's the one who robbed the supply station."

A member in the car beside immediately answered upon hearing.

He had just inquired clearly, and it was indeed that guy who robbed the supply station.

The guy with the Commander tag was only that one, he left a very deep impression on them at that time.

"Is it him?"

The driver beside heard this, a slight frown appeared.

"Originally, this quest gave newcomers a bigger advantage, newcomers have ample Life Quota, as long as they're willing to put in the effort, they can exchange enough tags to boost their vehicle's speed."

"Now this old player has messed things up, leaving newcomers with no advantage."

The driver's tone carried a hint of somberness.

In this quest, the advantages for old players aren't significant, because the majority of old players are low on Life Quota and don't dare to exchange it recklessly.

Newcomers, on the other hand, are different, having enough Life Quota to exchange for resources.

Old players, at most, have special tags for speed boosts or are experienced enough to find resources quicker.

Otherwise, the advantage is not really apparent.

"This guy is indeed our rival!"

The driver couldn't help but sigh upon thinking this.

However, the others beside him shook their heads and smiled, "Not necessarily."

"Look, this guy started off and despite gaining a few ranks, he's still at 50th place, far behind us."

"Next, as long as we overtake a few more ranks, we'll be stable enough to start sprinting towards the finish line."

"Furthermore, having more tags is beneficial but the fuel consumption is extremely terrifying, we've struggled to find enough gasoline just to barely get by."

"That guy, despite having tags, wouldn't dare use them recklessly, even if he did, would his gasoline withstand the consumption? Based on chat history, he didn't manage to rob any gasoline."

Upon analysis, he didn't consider Zhou Yingting a threat at all.

The gap between them is too large, and he doesn't believe Zhou Yingting would dare to boost the car's speed.

Increasing the speed would require more gasoline, which the other party can't afford to burn.

The driver silently thought about this, feeling that maybe the others were right.

"No point dwelling on it, the most important thing now is to quickly surpass the seventh place, we don't even know how many kilometers the seventh place has run."

The driver said, glancing ahead with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The top ten are all quite crafty, none of them have said a word so far, it's unclear how far they've run.

Their speed, their fuel consumption.

Really makes one anxious.

If they could know their speed, it would be possible to know if they could catch up.

.....

"Robbed a supply station? Interesting."

On a straight, sand-filled road, a somewhat old, dust-covered car caught the eye of a woman who glanced at the chat records beside her, unable to suppress her interest.

She was currently the one holding first place in this quest.

The reason she could reach first place was due to her tags, which have the ability to share attributes, including vehicles.

Because of this, her initial speed was extremely fast, ahead of everyone else.

In a situation of leading in one step, she managed to lead step by step.

"It's a pity he robbed the supply station from a few ranks behind us; it could've been a huge threat, but now, he's not threatening."

A woman beside her heard this and pouted.

This person's rank is too far behind; catching up is almost impossible.

Especially since they are in first place.

The opponent wants to catch up with them; that's even more impossible.

"Drive faster, the second place is catching up again!"

While the two were chatting, they suddenly glanced at the rear-view mirror and seeing a car behind, the woman's face changed.

Compared to Zhou Yingting's threat, they were more concerned about the second place behind them.

As the race was nearing the end, the cars could see each other among the front few ranks.

And the second place was their biggest threat, occasionally being left behind but quickly catching up again.

Filling their hearts with pressure.

This second place, having met them before, seemed to be a newcomer group, judging by appearances, they seem to have exchanged quite a number of things using their Life Quota.
