The mountain peaks were towering, and with the heavy rain, Li Changzhou strained his eyes but could not see the summit.

"Do we really have to climb the mountain?" Li Qianxia wailed, then spat out the rainwater.

“Remember this,” Yang Qinglan said, “we haven’t competed for a week, so every enemy we’ve encountered has been considered stronger than us.”

"Also, remember to use the names from the game."

After preparing themselves mentally, the three began their ascent.

Li Changzhou looked around. They should be on the west side of the mountain now, which was steep and rugged, almost barren.

As the altitude gradually increases, the road becomes zigzag-shaped.

My clothes were completely soaked and felt as heavy as a mountain. The cold didn't stop there; it stubbornly seeped in, chilling me to the bone.

"Watch your step!" After walking for more than twenty minutes, Li Qianxia turned around and shouted.

At this time, not only was the rain heavy, but the wind was also getting stronger.

Ahead was no longer "flat ground," but a cliff face that was almost vertical, with only a narrow path, about shoulder-width wide, winding and clinging to the steep rock face.

Rainwater gurgles along this path, like a stream, and one wrong step could send you sliding down the cliff.

Li Changzhou grabbed his right arm, and with a splash, a large handful of water was squeezed out of his sleeve.

He walked at the back of the group, putting himself in the enemy's shoes. Where would he appear from? And what kind of attack would he launch?

"ah!"

A cry of alarm rang out in the wind, and Li Changzhou instinctively reached out and grabbed Yang Qinglan, who was sliding towards the cliff.

"What's wrong?" Li Qianxia turned around.

"It's alright," Li Changzhou said, lifting Yang Qinglan onto his back.

Yang Qinglan's beautiful face was pale and numb, and her hair was wet.

With only 4 points of strength and 5 points of physique, she carried clothes filled with water and had difficulty walking in the strong wind, let alone on the steep mountain road washed by the rain.

"N-I'm sorry," Yang Qinglan said, her voice trembling, as she exhaled a puff of white breath.

"We have different roles, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Even with someone on his back, Li Changzhou's steps remained steady.

Moreover, he wasn't cold at all; his body was burning like a furnace, which made him extremely uneasy. He wondered if he was burning fat and eventually turning into a human skin, or sacrificing his lifespan.

Yang Qinglan's chest was pressed against Li Changzhou's back, and a large handful of water squeezed out of their clothes, splashing down and being blown into vapor by the strong wind.

Li Changzhou felt a pang of regret; he was dressed too warmly and couldn't feel anything.

But just carrying Yang Qinglan on his back, being so close, already made him radiant. Boys his age feel comfortable just breathing the same air as pretty girls, let alone now.

Yang Qinglan clung to him. She couldn't feel Li Changzhou's body temperature, but as long as her chest wasn't wet from the rain or draft, she felt much better than before.

The higher we went up the mountain, the louder the wind became.

The whistling sound was terrifying, growing ever more piercing like a countdown.

After passing through a mountain road, there was another whoosh, and a strong wind pushed us over as if by countless hands.

Li Qianxia, ​​who was walking at the front, had a strength of 6, an agility of 8, and a physique of 6. For a moment, she stood still, adapting to the wind.

Li Changzhou wanted to walk in front to face the strong wind, but he was afraid that if Li Qianxia walked behind, she would fall and he wouldn't have time to reach out to her.

After getting used to it for a while, Li Qianxia slowly stepped forward again.

Yang Qinglan had been peeking out from Li Changzhou's shoulder to help keep watch, but when she got here, the strong wind made her eyes sting and water stream down her face. Combined with the rain, she couldn't open them at all.

She rubbed her face against Li Changzhou's shoulder, but it didn't work, so she buried her face in his back.

Through her water-soaked clothes, her breath, faint and warm, touched Li Changzhou's skin.

"chatter--"

"Brother, watch out!" Li Qianxia suddenly jumped forward, her body clearly being blown backward by the wind in mid-air.

Li Changzhou looked ahead and saw a wild boar charging towards him on the narrow mountain path.

Upon hearing the sound, Yang Qinglan raised her face, intending to unleash her "Repulsion" technique, but the combination of heavy rain and strong winds froze her face, making it impossible for her to open her eyes.

The ground beneath my feet was smooth stone, and to my right lay an endless abyss.

They met on a narrow path.

"Controlling dopamine"

"Focus"

The sounds of wind and rain disappeared.

The world is now only filled with charging wild boars.

Li Changzhou neither retreated nor jumped, but raised the muzzle of his AK.

Known for its excellent performance, the AK can still fire even if dropped into mud and water, ensuring it can fire bullets whenever its owner needs it.

Rather than "bang bang bang," it sounded more like "thump thump thump," accompanied by flames, roaring menacingly amidst the raging wind and rain.

All bullets hit their mark, and the wild boar's charge was unaffected.

The bullet only grazed the pigskin slightly when it hit it.

Half a month after the game started, the guns were already starting to stop working.

Li Changzhou's heart was also unaffected.

He kept firing, and when the wild boar charged at his face, he suddenly lowered the gun and used it as a bayonet.

"Bang!"

Li Changzhou was like a man wrestling with a car, constantly being pushed backward.

With 8 points of strength and 9 points of physique, and by rationally adjusting his body to the optimal way to withstand the force, he managed to hold on and not be knocked away.

Li Qianxia landed behind the wild boar, her wrist straining, and thrust forward with the steel spear.

The torrential rain and howling wind roared in my ears, and the pig's body was dented, but its skin held the spearhead firmly, just like a fishing net catching a fish.

The next moment, the wild boar had already moved out of range of Li Changzhou's reach.

Under the heavy rain, Li Qianxia couldn't even find the mark she had poked on the pig's buttocks.
