The small team continued forward.

Each and every expression was incredibly vivid. No one spoke, no one chatted, and the exchange of glances alone could easily fill an entire TV drama.

He looked at the sky for a moment, then at the ground, then at what was next to him.

"Walk properly, what are you thinking about?"

"No, Chu Xingyue, how could you be so heartless? Don't make those senior students never be able to find a wife in their entire lives."

"If I weren't unethical, would you have gotten their equipment?"

Chu Xingyue lifted her eyelids and glanced at Jun Yan.

"Yes, yes, yes, I just wonder if that senior will have any psychological trauma when he finds a girlfriend in the future."

Junyan was absolutely laughing; she never expected this to happen.

"Stop laughing, save your energy."

Chu Jiaojiao reached out and supported Jun Yan, who was about to collapse from laughing.

Now everyone has plenty of equipment.

"Look, aren't we almost out of the woods?"

Xia Yiyang suddenly called out.

"Really? Quick, let's speed up. I want to get out of this forest as soon as possible; it's too hot and humid."

The group quickened their pace.

"Wow!" Looking at the mountain wall not far away, the shoulders of the group slumped.

What's going on? There's a mountain wall here.

Hearing a commotion nearby, the group immediately sought cover.

"Phew, finally out."

Lu Zehua

The group that had just hidden revealed themselves when they saw that it was the small team that had left earlier.

"How are you all? Was the journey alright?" Du Kangli strode over and asked the group.

"No, no, it's nothing." Who would believe someone who stammers that nothing is wrong?

"What, we've run into each other again?"

Du Kangli looked at Wei Haiyang with a questioning gaze.

"I met a few people, but I didn't get any useful clues out of them."

"How was it handled? The equipment came from them."

Looking at the guns in their hands, I knew they had replenished their equipment.

Same as before

Xia Yiyang answered directly.

The members of Team Nine reunited not long after they had been separated.

"Let's go around it," Du Kangli said, pointing to the mountainside in front of them.

"We need to find a way to get through; if we try to go around, we definitely won't have enough time."

Upon hearing Wei Haiyang's words, the group all looked up at the mountain wall not far away.

"They're not suggesting we climb over here, are they? This mountainside is so steep, and we don't have any safety equipment. Isn't that just playing with our lives?"

Zheng Hong spoke.

Looking left and right, no one spoke. Had they decided to just climb over there?

It's only natural to disagree; most people would consider avoiding it. Who wouldn't be brave enough to do something so dangerous?

"I'll go up first, you guys wait for me down here."

"What?"

Before anyone could voice their disagreement, they saw that Chu Xingyue had already tied a rope around her waist and was now knotting it.

No one felt comfortable letting Chu Xingyue go up alone; it was frightening to even look at.

"You all stay alert. I'll go up first. You all get your ropes ready."

After saying that, he stood at the foot of the mountain wall, looked up at the top of the mountain, tugged at the two bundles of ropes on his back, lifted his feet, grabbed the protruding rocks on the mountain wall, and began to climb up.

Everyone watched Chu Xingyue's movements with tension.

The more timid ones covered their mouths, their hearts pounding, fearing something bad might happen.

Chu Xingyue didn't give her teammates below the cliff too much time to be nervous, as they were about to reach the summit.

Two consecutive "thump" sounds came as Chu Xingyue threw down two bundles of rope from above.

"Can I not climb? My fingers aren't strong enough to grip properly, I'm scared."
