An Yan's abnormal behavior surprised the other two. Lu Tingying, whose emotion overcame her reason, asked directly, "Colonel, are you okay?" The worry in her tone could not be concealed, but the colonel did not feel it.
An Yan waved his hand and walked straight to the bottom of screen No. 965. Looking at the tall man walking steadily in a certain direction, he gradually frowned.
......***......***......***......
Shi Yuqing grabbed the backpack, took out a nutrient solution, tore it open and took a deep puff. Hmm—so comfortable!
It feels like nearly eight hours have passed since I started walking until now. Sweat has soaked my clothes. If I don't have nutritional supplements to replenish the nutrients my body needs in time, I will probably collapse from excessive water loss before I even get out of the desert.
After walking for so long, all she saw was still yellow sand, without even a blade of grass, and the legendary lizards and scorpions were nowhere to be seen.
Frowning at the boundless desert in the distance, she unconsciously licked her chapped lips. At her own pace, she should have walked over 70 kilometers, but there was still endless yellow sand ahead. She couldn't help but wonder if she had gone in the wrong direction from the beginning.
Zuo Qi's words came to mind: "Strength is important in assessments, but it's not the only factor. It's just the foundation."
Indeed, in such an environment, even a strong physique wouldn't offer much of an advantage. Looking at the seemingly endless yellow sand, it was only a matter of time before one was forced to collapse...
When people are faced with a lack of hope and extreme exhaustion, they tend to develop a certain level of pessimism. By this point, 297 of the 1,082 candidates had already concluded their journey through the "Endless Desert" illusion and were directly removed from the hallway of the eighth-level illusion. Of the remaining 785, how many were on the verge of giving up?
"Remember why you came here!"
On the edge of struggle, a sentence suddenly rang in their ears, reminding them of the reason to keep going.
When Shi Yuqing thought of this sentence, the first thing that came to her mind was the first time she saw Ali.
At that time, he brutally tore nine people apart before her. But when he stood before her, she saw him in such a state of disarray, so uncertain, so struggling, that it strangely moved her heart.
In her previous life, she never knew where she would go next or what she would do. She practiced the Nine Body-Building Techniques her master had given her alone, repeatedly overcoming the threshold of death and becoming stronger. However, she didn't know why she needed to become stronger, and simply insisted on doing what her master instructed.
Life, to her, was like a bowl of tasteless water: neither bitter nor sweet, salty nor sour, numb nor spicy. It wasn't until she was driven to suicide by Gu Qing that perhaps, only at that moment, did her heart finally stir.
She was lucky to have come to this world, to have met Jiubao and Ali...
If Jiubao knew that his master not only thought of himself when he expressed his feelings during the assessment, but also put him before Ali, he would definitely squint his eyes in awe.
After regrouping, Shi Yuqing set out on the road ahead again. Although she still doubted whether she had chosen the wrong direction, her intuition told her that it would be better to continue moving in the original direction than to turn back at this time.
