Wen Zheng: "…………"
"Bro! Your thinking is correct! But you can try it!!"
Wen Zheng held the steering wheel with one hand, while his right hand revealed a photon dagger.
The newbie shut up, then shouted again after a while, "What is this?!"
"What?! What?!"
"this!"
The Jeep was truly dilapidated; all the control buttons on the dashboard were broken and worn. The novice driver seemed quite interested in these buttons, pressing one after another. He was startled when a storage compartment suddenly popped out, and then frantically tried to close it, pressing it back repeatedly.
"Stop it!" Wen Zheng was about to lose his temper.
"It won't close!!" The newbie frantically pounded away in disbelief, "It's not my fault! It really won't close!"
"Just leave it on! Don't worry about it! And don't press any buttons!"
The newbie was so angry that his face turned red. After holding it in for a while, he shouted again, "What is this?!"
Wen Zheng's head was buzzing, and it took him a while to react before he exclaimed in astonishment, "It's a car! A Jeep!! You don't even recognize a car?!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the storage box fell to its death in a large sway, then bounced into the air after hitting the seat cushion.
The novice driver instinctively raised his hand to strike, and the glove box changed course in mid-air, smashing into the windshield at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
It then became firmly embedded in the glass, and the entire windshield cracked into a spiderweb pattern!
"Are you crazy?!" Wen Zheng was going crazy. He couldn't see anything clearly, so he raised his hand and punched the glass to forcibly clear his vision.
Half of the broken glass fell outside and the other half splashed into the car. Wen Zheng and the novice driver both bent over and covered their heads.
"What are you doing?!" The car was still moving forward when the novice driver frantically shook off the shards of glass from his clothes: "Why did you have to break it?!"
"I can't see it anymore, brother!"
"I can clearly see it!"
"You think you can see it? Then you drive it!? Wait, I told you not to move—"
With a loud bang, white smoke billowed from the poor, dilapidated Jeep's fuel tank. Wen Zheng and the novice jumped out of the car at the same time, ran for more than ten meters, and watched the car explode on the spot, panting.
In the golden wilderness, there was no village or shop in sight.
The two men were panting heavily, looking disheveled.
"You!" Wen Zhengqi was so angry he was breathless, his eyes red with gasps. "You really are... damn it."
"What does this have to do with me!?" The newbie was even more aggrieved, his eyes wide open: "Did I make it explode!?"
"I told you not to press those buttons randomly! Did you even listen to a word I said?!"
"What's the point of making a button if it can't be pressed?"
"…………"
The newbie was half a head taller than Wen Zheng. His black long-sleeved jacket had several tears, and his white T-shirt underneath was stained with oil and dust. His hair was also messy, and he looked quite disheveled.
Even after all this, this person still acts all self-righteous and blames him!?
Do you think you're a princess?!
Wen Zheng's nerves throbbed with pain.
He roared with all his might, "Get out!"
The newcomer yelled at him, "You're the one who should get out!!"
After saying that, the newlyweds turned and left. Wen Zheng watched them go from afar, and only after they had become almost a black dot did he calm down a bit.
Just as I was about to head in the opposite direction, the black dot suddenly turned around: "Don't let me see you again—"
Wen Zheng: "…………"

Jeep: But what did I do wrong?
Chapter 13
Idiot.
Wen Zheng cursed silently.
The feeling of being so angry that my scalp tingled gradually subsided as I walked to the cabin at the next resource point.
Searching for supplies in the cabin, Wen Zheng thought it had been a long time since he had such an explosive argument with someone. After the argument, he felt a little good, but also a little regretful.
So what if a novice presses two buttons incorrectly?
Besides, he didn't cause the oil leak and explosion. How could a beat-up Jeep have a "one-click explosion" button?
At most, he just knocked the storage box down and then carelessly shoved it into the window glass.
He was a bit too impatient.
But we can't entirely blame him.
If the other person is humble, has a good attitude, and apologizes for causing trouble, says thank you, and promises not to do it again...
Wen Zheng dragged a bulletproof vest out of the pile of clutter, held it up to his feet, and put it on, thinking: ...Then why did I get angry!?
It's all because of that idiot's bad attitude.
Wen Zheng's temper flared up quickly but subsided just as fast; he never held grudges unless it was a matter of principle.
After quickly searching the cabin in the woods, he obtained a lightweight bulletproof vest, a pair of knee pads, and a small stun gun.
With these supplies in place, Wen Zheng felt much more at ease.
He currently lacks a long-range weapon, whether it's a traditional sniper rifle or a new type of electronic weapon, as long as the distance is sufficient, he can handle it.
Before launching the game, he reviewed the weapon list and found it to be roughly fifty years behind modern military technology. However, the core concepts remained the same, so it wasn't entirely unfamiliar.
Finding nothing more in the cabin, he chose to head in a direction he had never been before.
The basic strategy guide states that finding the electronic map is crucial in the early game. Every ten minutes, an earthquake occurs, causing the outer perimeter of the island to collapse and sink to the seabed. If you can't find the electronic map, after two or three earthquakes, you might fall into the sea and be eliminated because you don't know where to go.
The previous warehouse was almost completely destroyed by grenades, and this small house was also unlucky enough to be destroyed as well, but Wen Zheng was not in a hurry, there was still plenty of time.
He walked into the dense forest outside.
The woods are difficult to navigate, with frequent tripping over tree roots. This terrain is disliked by players, and few in Bronze-level matches venture into it.
Wen Zheng observed the surroundings, walking very slowly, and vaguely heard gunshots ahead.
He cautiously advanced with a low bow, and soon arrived at the center of the battle.
He chose a great spot, where he could see both sides' positions and movements perfectly.
One side had four people, who seemed to have been in a team when they teleported in. The other side had only one person, who was leaning against a large tree, dodging the hail of bullets.
It's that newcomer.
A pile of supplies lay nearby, its camouflage cloth, which had been covering it, had now been partially uncovered. The two sides were clearly vying for it.
Wen Zheng squatted down and watched quietly.
The tree trunk was very thick, and the four-man group couldn't break through it in a short time, so they quickly became impatient.
One of them poked his head out and shouted bluffingly, "Come out if you dare! Hide behind a tree and pull!"
With a bang.
The vulgar word was forcibly muted. The man, who wasn't wearing a helmet, was pierced in the head by a crossbow bolt, and vanished in a flash of white light in shock.
The remaining three screamed in fright. One of them, who was holding a gun, stopped worrying about the ammunition and started firing in the direction where the newcomer was hiding.
Newcomers found it increasingly difficult to stand out, and he held the crossbow bolt in his hand with a sense of frustration.
Wen Zheng saw what just happened clearly, and his gaze towards the newlyweds changed.
He slowed his breathing, no longer waiting, and took advantage of the newcomer drawing the attention of the panicked trio to circle around behind them.
The gunshots were so loud that no one noticed his movement.
With a swift movement, the knife fell, and a flash of white light appeared. Before the man busy firing could react, a numbness shot through his waist as a stun gun was pressed against it, draining his entire health in two seconds.
Everything came to an abrupt halt, as if a thrilling drama had been abruptly cut short. Wen Zheng grabbed a pistol, pointed it at the large tree where the newcomer was hiding, and then slung the long sniper rifle from another person over his shoulder.
“Come out,” he said.
The newcomer seemed to recognize his voice and slowly, cautiously, emerged from behind the tree, pointing a crossbow at him.
At this moment, Wen Zheng was already standing next to the supplies, and with a swift movement of one hand, he lifted all the camouflage cloth covering them.
The newcomer finally spoke.
"It's you again." His voice was deep and pleasant, but unfortunately, what he said was extremely annoying: "Didn't I tell you not to show your face in front of me?"
Wen Zheng: "…………"
Hearing Wen Zhengqi laugh, he concluded that the newcomer would not ambush him while he was picking up items, so he decisively put away his pistol and squatted down to inspect the supplies.
"Your legs are your own. If you don't want to see me, why don't you just get lost?"
"You get lost!" The newcomer turned and left, seemingly no longer wanting to compete with him for supplies.
Wen Zheng finally produced an electronic map as he had hoped.
He roughly determined his location and then gathered some medical supplies and grenades.
He left everything else behind because it was too cumbersome, but one thing was truly useful—a bulletproof vest.
"Hey!" Wen Zheng called out to the newlyweds' backs.
"What?!" The man turned around angrily.
"return!"
