Chapter 1 Wan Jia Xiong Meng

Thump thump thump thump!

The thick metal armor plates on the outside of the chariot were blasted off, replaced by sturdy, lightweight chitinous insect carapaces riddled with tiny holes.

The metal structure of the vehicle's frame melted and reformed under the influence of alchemy, the overall shape becoming flatter and more streamlined.

The three players leaned back in surprise as the leather seats beneath them were enveloped, covered, and replaced by cold, comfortable vines.

Together with unimportant components of the vehicle (such as interior and exterior trim, air conditioning, windshield wipers, windshield washers, sun visors, cigarette lighters, ashtrays, etc.),

They were ejected from the vehicle.

The plant vines had also considerately woven three seat belts for them, securing them in the reclined, sports car-like seats.

However,

The rest of the experience was less than pleasant.

Dozens of worms of various shapes and sizes were thrown down from the holes in the roof.

Their bodies were covered in mucus.

Their mouthparts, filled with sharp teeth, emitted piercing cries,

Waving their short, small limbs,

They quickly crawled over the three players' bodies, burrowing into the gaps and corners of the vehicle frame,

Merging with the vehicle body, secreting and spitting out large amounts of flesh and blood.

The foul-smelling flesh and blood flowed along the vehicle body, quickly absorbed and ingested by the plant vines.

The latter swelled and bulged,

Like extraordinarily thick blood vessels,

Shaking and trembling,

Growing, extending, and intersecting within the vehicle body.

For the three players sitting in the vehicle, this experience was extremely bizarre and terrifying.

All the sounds, lights, and smells suggested that they had fallen into the abdominal viscera of some strange creature.

Plop—

A lump of sticky worm fell from the roof,

It resembled a kind of artificially cultivated giant snail,

With a long, translucent brown body and two wobbly antennae on its head.

Unlike ordinary snails, it did not carry a shell on its back,

But a pink brain, full of grooves and wrapped in a transparent gelatinous substance.

!!!

The three players felt their scalps tingle.

They had not been affected by any skills, but they could clearly feel their sanity value plummeting rapidly.

"This is... a human brain..."

Luo Ri Rong Jin felt an urge to vomit in his throat.

His database, buried behind his neck and connected to his cerebellum, clearly showed that

The snail was carrying an adult brain, with a cylindrical corpus callosum and a better-developed left hemisphere.

Healthy, active, full of vitality,

Like... just picked.

Plop, plop.

The snail crawled over the players' thighs with seeming slowness but actual speed, heading straight for the steering wheel.

The vines there seemed to have sensed its presence in advance, automatically splitting a hole for the snail to slowly crawl into before healing again, leaving no trace.

This snail seemed to be some kind of key.

With its entry, the entire Stryker armored vehicle (now arguably a biological vehicle) trembled slightly.

Several faces of gelatinous transparent glass on the vehicle body emitted a dazzling seven-colored light.

A gentle, magnetic female voice also came from the broadcast in the front of the vehicle.

"Ready for departure, the whole journey is 198 kilometers. This is Underworld Navigation, dedicated to serving you."

Matching this voice prompt was a virtual road projection projected onto the front windshield of the vehicle.

"..."

Huang Hun Qi Shi was silent. The steering wheel in front of him had been replaced by a worm with circular cartilage rings.

The worm's body was covered with a ring of marked buttons, such as "Nitrogen Acceleration," "Super Aiming," "Seat Ejection," and "Massage Mode."

The most exaggerated was a large button next to a plastic protective cover, with a yellow and black crossed-out nuclear bomb symbol, giving people an ominous premonition that everything would be over after pressing it.

"You guys drive first, give me three minutes to debug."

Li Ang, who was hanging on the side of the vehicle, didn't wait for his teammates to ask before flipping over and jumping onto the roof of the alien chariot, lying down and letting himself be swallowed by the plants, disappearing completely.

"..."

The three players left in the vehicle looked at each other. They were still immersed in shock, but the current situation left them no room for hesitation.

"Frozen Realm!"

"Phase Lock!"

"Ba Shan Tian Sheng Kick!"

"Up up down down left right left right BABA!"

"An Invitation to a Heart-Stirring Golden Theater!"

Beams of light, rain of arrows, flames, ice, poison, treasures, magical instruments, talismans...

The various attack methods from the surrounding drivers almost overturned the entire desert.

Some game characters who were good at construction used their expertise, took local materials, and picked up other vehicle fragments left on the road to add to their chariots.

Nick Ramos (protagonist of *Dead Rising 3*) used broken and tattered parts to continuously reinforce and enlarge the chariot, making the vehicle as large as a small mobile city.

Although other drivers' attacks could damage the city's surface,

The mechanic Nick Ramos repaired as quickly as it was damaged, destroying it no faster than he could build it.

The vehicle, or rather, the surface of the bunker, was also equipped with advanced weapons such as harpoon cannons, the Ultimate Nether Reaper Scythe, and the Ultimate Mechanical Dragon, whose destructive power was in no way inferior to the skill attacks of other drivers.

In addition to this,

There were also some game characters who displayed abilities that were not available in the game.

For example, Ezio Auditore of the Assassin's League team, the assassin master from the *Assassin's Creed* series of games,

While driving the vehicle,

His body inexplicably trembled at high speed, and more than a dozen afterimages flashed beside him.

Whenever an enemy attacked them, their chariot would flash back and forth, like a high-latency phenomenon in an online game, easily dodging the attack.

Even, the chariot driven by Ezio Auditore would suddenly fly up to half a meter in the air, and the next second it would appear on the road ahead, overtaking several cars in one breath.

It looked extremely bizarre and strange.

This was precisely a major feature of Ubisoft game characters:

Being able to skillfully utilize the system bugs that appeared in Ubisoft games,

Such as flashing, going through walls, getting stuck in models, texture failure, character twitching and flying, vehicle levitation, etc.,

To achieve all kinds of incredible "superpowers."

For a time, hundreds of immortals crossed the sea on the track, each showing their own unique abilities.

The originally straight and flat road was already full of potholes, with no discernible shape.

For some reason, the game characters in this world would always shout out the names of their moves when releasing skills.

It might be their personal preference, or it might be some kind of underlying setting in the game world.

In any case, this setting greatly facilitated Huang Hun Qi Shi's driving and hiding.

The biological chariot had its own perception enhancement system. Whenever danger approached,

The brain worms hidden in the vehicle body would use worm sensors to sense the energy level, speed, and direction of the enemy's skills in advance.

Analyze its threat,

Formulate a safe route,

And finally, the route was projected onto the front windshield of the car through special effects worms, assisting Huang Hun Qi Shi in driving.

The experience was as smooth as silk.

Combined with Luo Ri Rong Jin's predictive vision,

The biological chariot took the lead, maneuvering through the harsh environment filled with skill strikes, and chasing after Kratos and Kinopio ahead at an extremely fast speed.

Such arrogant behavior naturally attracted the attention of the drivers behind.

They were in the heat of battle, how could they allow someone to leave the battlefield with a speed advantage.

"Want to leave?"

A burly man with thick eyebrows, wearing a red headband and tattered white martial arts clothes (Ryu, a character from the *Street Fighter* series) stood barefoot on the chariot, frowning and glaring. He placed his palms on the right side of his body, closed them into a ball shape, and then slammed them forward.

"Hadoken!"

A blue and white energy projectile the size of a basketball flew out of Ryu's palm, heading straight for the biological chariot.

It absorbed the wind along the way, growing larger and larger, and when it reached the rear of the biological chariot, it was almost the size of the vehicle.

"Bigby's Crushing Hand!"

The witch decisively summoned a pair of huge, purple, transparent hands as large as city walls, blocking them horizontally behind the vehicle.

Boom!

The energy cannon called Hadoken, spinning rapidly with the force of the wind, heavily struck the purple hand, creating a pit in the palm of the latter.

It blocked it.

The witch's face was pale, and she hurriedly took out a bottle of blue potion and drank it, stabilizing the turbulent magic power in the magic circuit.

Fighting game characters, although generally not good at driving vehicles, can exert the advantage of personal combat power in the unscrupulous bloody race.

Once the distance between vehicles is narrowed, it is difficult to survive in the rain of attacks, let alone protect the vehicle and let the chariot pass the finish line.

"Oh? You can actually block it?"

Ryu raised an eyebrow and shouted, "Kula!"

A cold and beautiful girl with long blue hair, wearing a red tracksuit, and wearing brown and yellow gloves (Kula Diamond, a character from the *King of Fighters* series) standing next to him nodded, placed her index and middle fingers together in front of her lips,

And breathed lightly towards the road in front of the vehicle.

"Whoo—"

The extremely cold breath mixed with ice crystals covered the road surface, causing the concrete road surface to instantly condense into a thick, smooth layer of ice.

Their chariot was driving on the ice layer with extremely low friction, driven by inertia, and sliding forward quickly.

Standing at the rear of the vehicle was a wheat-skinned girl, wearing a wide-sleeved short skirt and high-top boots, with a rabbit skull hat with a pair of huge arms on top of her cyan short hair.

(Cerebella, a character from the fighting game *Skullgirls*.)

Boom boom boom!

The muscular hat on the girl's head used its huge fists to hammer the ice layer behind the vehicle, punching and punching, providing acceleration for the vehicle,

And using the giant ice blocks smashed away by the fists to create interference for the vehicles behind.

In a few breaths, Ryu's chariot had caught up with the biological chariot, tightly biting behind.

"Going to die, going to die, going to die—"

Luo Ri Rong Jin gritted his teeth tightly. He could clearly feel the terrifying energy fluctuations coming from these fighting game characters. Perhaps only the blonde-haired girl with twin tails responsible for driving (Marie Rose, a character from the fighting game *Dead or Alive*),

Was lower in energy level than the players.

Although this was a little unethical, but... he couldn't care about that much anymore.

Luo Ri Rong Jin pursed his lips tightly, interlaced his ten fingers, forming a hand seal, and rows of green data flowed through his eyes from bottom to top.

Buzz—

Silent shock waves spread and spread in the air,

Marie Rose, the blonde-haired girl with twin tails driving the vehicle in the back, also began to have the same green data flowing in her eyes as Luo Ri Rong Jin.

Thinking, gradually slowing down,

Will, slowly sinking.

Marie Rose's eyes were empty, and the hands holding the steering wheel suddenly turned to the left, driving the vehicle away from the frozen road.

The chariot skidded and swayed, about to capsize and tilt, but the three fighters on the car still stood firmly, their legs fixed on the car like roots.

Their bodies have been tempered thousands of times, and their fighting skills are superb.

This level of shaking is like a breeze on their faces.

Boom!

Cerebella smashed the road with a punch, the huge arm deeply chiseled into the concrete block, forcibly straightening the vehicle's direction of travel,

And even further, shortened the distance with the biological chariot.

Ryu kicked the Bigby's Crushing Hand summoned by the witch to pieces, and punched through the flame magic circle released by the witch, pinching the neck of the phoenix projection in the center of the magic circle.

Like breaking chopsticks, he broke the neck of the phoenix projection,

The only price paid was that the red boxing gloves became a little charred.

Is there any justice in the world!

The witch let out a wail in her heart.

The strongest point of a turret-type mage lies in the terrifying offensive magic firepower, the ever-changing and fully functional auxiliary magic, and the mobility to kite slow units.

But now, her mobility cannot be brought into play due to rule restrictions,

And offensive spells cannot penetrate the defenses of fighting characters,

The mana value has also consumed a lot in the previous melee, and there is no time to replenish it.

The feeling of a mage facing a meat shield warrior at close range... is really too uncomfortable!!

Ryu wouldn't care about the witch's wailing. Since he was on this bloody track, all opponents were enemies.

What's more, the car the other party was driving looked pretty good.

If he could grab it, maybe it could reduce a lot of obstacles to passing the champion road.

He raised his right leg high and chopped heavily towards the rear of the biological chariot like a battle axe.

"Warning, warning, high-energy attack detected, please dodge immediately, please dodge immediately."

The female voice on the broadcast in the car was still reporting gently, and red warning lights lit up in the car.

Nitrogen acceleration!

Huang Hun Qi Shi slammed the button on the steering wheel,

He didn't know how these buttons worked, but right now... he could only trust Li Ri Sheng.

Boom!

The rear of the biological chariot suddenly spewed out ghostly blue flames, and fine barbs suddenly grew out of the four tires, providing the vehicle with grip.

The battle axe split missed, and the biological chariot exploded and accelerated at the last moment, dodging the blow dangerously.

Dodged it.

Luo Ri Rong Jin and the witch breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh?"

Ryu frowned and gave Kula next to him a look.

The latter immediately understood, and her waist-length blue hair floated against gravity, raising her arms high and creating overwhelming huge ice crystal meteorites in the high air, smashing towards the road ahead.

The doomsday-like scene made the players feel a burst of despair.

What's even more terrifying is that,

The sound of fists hitting the ground behind became more and more dense and closer and closer,

Mist and ice crystals slowly condensed between the rear and front of the two chariots, like a bridge, to forcibly lock the two chariots together.

Going to die, going to die!

Where the hell did Li Ri Sheng run off to?!

Luo Ri Rong Jin was covered in sweat, desperately absorbing the psionic energy in his body, and creating a hexagonal green data barrier above the roof of the car.

The witch squeezed the last trace of magic power, crossed her hands, and released flame cones, burning the ice layer that locked the biological chariot.

However, all of this could not stop Ryu from walking step by step on the suspended ice bridge.

"All martial arts in the world come from Shoryuken,"

The red headband fluttered in the wind, Ryu took a deep breath, slowly squatted down, and put on the starting pose of the Shoryuken, "Hou you..."

Ghostly blue lights suddenly lit up in the car, and the broadcast in the car was loud and clear, as if thousands of voices were overlapping.

"Driver mode loading completed"

"Insertion plug implantation completed"

"Brainworm neural fiber has been connected"

"Divine power application efficiency 100%"

"Spike armor, thorny stems, spore sacs, venom cannons and other weapon systems are online"

"Biological chariot Leviathan self-starts"

"Holy! Flesh and Swamp Lord of All Things, our people welcome your return"
